Butler lias gotten through with his work ii New York, and has started hack to rcsunu command of his army on tho James river. H< Was in Washington on last Tuesday, and th< Chronicle said he Would leave for the front it tho next morning's boat. Before leaving Neu York, Butler was givcti a public dinner, wher he delivered himself of n er.o?/?n a a _ _ va ?iwv XIl ^LV/I A pressing bis conviction that the result of the recent Presidential election was "a moral vie tory tor the National cause ;" that it would be so regarded in Europe; that it would "be every where received as proof that the Union i: never to be surrendered,"?he said that tin Washington "Government might now proftei the olive branch to the rebels," tendering then: terms of adjustment in case of their return t< the Union, giving them a reasonable time *a.j till the 8th of January next?to signify thcii acquiescence ; if tbey hold out, then lie would favor a most energetic and unsparring prosecu tion of the war, to tho end that the rebels should be driven to Mexico or elsewhere, am all their property divided among the Yankee CAlrlinm U ~ 1 uum?>o. ncic ia mis language Lcondonsed ^ upon this point: Wo cannot always last. The history of na tiona, the experience of the world, has showi this. Might it not be suggested that now is i good time for us once again to hold out to tin deluded men of the South the olive branch o peace, and say to them : "Come back, conn bnoli, now. This ic tho lu^t timo of nfclnncr.'1? We are in a condition now, not '.aking counse from our fears, not taking counsel trom on weakness, but taking counsel from our magna nimity and our strength, again to make an offe for the last time. There might have been reason I think, among a proud and chivalrous puopl< that they would not desert their leaders, in an swer to the amnesty of President Lincoln, bu now has come an hour when we can say : "Conn back, come back, and submit to the laws, am you shall find exactly'such laws as before, ex cept so far as they are altered bv tin* j b"v"' judgment of the Legislatures of iho land. [Applause.] Perhaps the -Sth of January, fo the association, will be'as good.as any, for al to come back. And when that time is conn to every man, who shall scout the proffered am nestyofa great and powerful nation? W< say to them, to him who scouts that proffcrec love and kindness, let us meet him with sharp quick, decisive war, that shall bring the war l( an cud, to.tlic extinguishment of such mei wherever they may be. [Applause.] Unlesj ^ they take our amnesty let us go down there and you shall have whatever you get by a far, division ; we will open new land offices where ever our armies march, distributing lands amonf the soldiers, to be theirs and their heirs forever And when the clock strikes the last knell o that parting clay, and then all hope of rcturi for those who have not made progress toward! that return shall be lost forever, no longer cat they live in tho land of America.
