If we are to place anv confidence in the general expression upon the matter, breaking necks on the gallows is to be the main business of the government for the next four years. We wonder the president is not already overwhelmed by those who would like to become hangmen. From the present aspect of the case, we infer that there are thousands of loyal men who would consider the employment profitable, patriotic and detectable. It is worthy of note that there are various degrees of this banging mania. Some of the people have passed resolutions urging the president to bang all the rebels, and children, we suppose, to be included in the exhibition.

Others are disposed to excuse the ignorant provided all the intelligent residents of the south are strung up by the neck. President Johnson's notion of the proper course to is to hung all the leaders, nntl permit the rest of the population to live. Bat, who are ''lenders'' to whom the president refers The expression is one of no definite interpretation. Jeff. Akxanu-r II.

Stephens, RobTt K. Lee, Joe Johnston, Judjje Campbell, ana men of thai moist prominent' rrbds, cannot be saiJ to include all the The of the rebel congress, ernors oi the rebel of rebel ieg.slatures, the generals of (hi: rebt-i aro all li or thought themselves so few days -ince. To hang them all would be a job of the proportions. Nothing short of the cr-ta-blish- ment of a hangman's bureau at Washington, with tho appointment of an army of carpenters and executioners, would meet the requirements of the case. There may ne a serious question, moreover, as who is most guilty, the public man who commits treason, or the mob which compels him to act as tbeir representative in the corrnmsion of treason.

Most of the "leaders" in these days are men who follow the people, instead of leading them. The people leaders obey; and were the leaders not to obty, they would no longer be leaders. It ia a mistaken notion that the leaders manufacture public sentiment now anywhere. The reverse is the rule. Public sentiment manufactures the leaders.

Jeff. Davis is but a ppawn of the mere faggot floating upon the pool of public opinion. Abraham Lincoln in making war upon Davis did not lead the north led him. Andy Jobofcon vffll not govern the people in the determination of his future people will govern jhmi. As the popular will is, so id the pnpular mere ereaturc of the influences surround him.

As for the law concerning makes no distinc- tien between the leaders and the led. It puui-bes the act of treason, by whatever hand committed. A large proportion of the American states have abolitbed death as a punishment for murder. The more enlightened consider hanging a re-lie of barbarism. The more politic denounce the fystem because of its demoralizing influence upon the public mind.

Scenes of violence Violence; blood is fruitful seed of blood. No fact of human history is better es-tnblifbed than this. The punishment of rebels, 'ike tho punishment oi all otbt-r should have sole reference to the public good. Six months ago, while the rebels possessed the power of retaliation, no one proposed to ornament every cross road with a pallows. We hope we cball bo spired disgusting spectacles of that sort now, even though, we have no retaliation to fear.

The Wisconsin still insists that it is in- corjfibfcent for this paper to regret the death of Mr. Lincoln, because it disapproved IUB political course. When Stephen A. Doujjlas was living The Daily Free Democmt denounced him as a drunkard nnd a j.ro-ala\crjf demagogue, but Douglas died and the editor of that paper lta.tr eulogized Lim over fiiioe an a statesman a patriot.

These details, and some oUr en, have already been agreed upon. TUB POPE'S FUTURE RESIDENCE Sonething having been said the French senate by a noted Romish cardinal, about the possibility of the removal to England at the expiration of the two years fiseu by tho convrntion of September, member of the British parliament inquired whether it was expedient that that era- should bo invited to side uithin the United Kingdom.

We extract We had not n. great deal of hark! fighting, the rebels making but few decided stand I but we had more or less skirmishing every duj with some of their forces, and were marched almost to death. We did not lay cmr a single day on the whole match, unlesa we had the enemy in our frontj when wo waded into them or some rebel property, in thesflape of railroads or supplies of ordinance or clothing to destroy. We lived almost entirely off the country, having bat limited rations of sugar and coffee and salt, and a few days' rations of hard bread, which was husbanded all the way for an emergency, a good deabef it being issued after we had reached communications.

The country through which we passed was supplied with beans and corn meal; in some sections, hams and flour. Poultry were generally pretty plenty, and occasionally some honey; but to every chicken and ounce of honey, there was a company of soldiers, s6 that a man would not be apt to get fat o.n all he oould forage in that line. The forage was collected by men detailed from each company for that purpose. They were generally mounted on old mules and horses, such as they could collect from planters, asnd would scour the country for miles in every direction. They were under the command of an officer who had strict orders to confino himself to Lis duties, and not suffer bis men to j'Uiage; but the orders were eeldom obeyed, and every house was packed from top to bottom for jewelry, money aud clothing, and the darkies frightened into tellying 1 where tutir had buried bis a.ODej- arid valuables; for you mutt know the all the line of march resorted to that ad.iage, to eave everjihiDgfrom the vandals, but it; seldom succeeded.

They took to burying provisions in this way, too, but they were brought forth as as Vhe money. At Bennettvilie, we camped in an old cornfield of eeveral hundred acres, aud dotted here and there with cotton seed Souo9 inquisitive individual -made up his miuJ to explore one of those piles, EO he ran Lis into it, and struck something At it he went with a shovel, end soon UD-SOV- ercd a beautiful lot of hams. Soon the piles were lowered by solders, aud such supolies of meat, bmter, eggs, sausages sweetmeats and fruit as they brought airay, it was wonderful to behold. The field was a couple of miles off the main road which it was supposed the Yankees would pursue, and was made a general barial ground for the stores of the whole village. By some accident, our division camped right among the treasure." I can tell you there was kl joji in Gallilee that night-," but you mast not imagine we were as lucky every night.

The Carolinians, as a general thing, are very poor. I believe South Carolina is one- half swamps. The soil throughout is half sand. There is scarcely any kind of timber to be seen but pitch pine, in many sections very stunted, making the country merely a barren waste. We have marched whole dajs without seeing a single house or improvement of any kind, the country being altogether too poor to support life.

In such places we suffered, and we met plenty of them. I we did not eat five pounds of flour to the man on the whole trip. Each squad of five or six have a little frying pan tnat was foraged from some beggars ehanty, and each man has a little can or pail to fry his bacon and boil his lt 3 I have often thought when I sat down to my coffee, without milk or sugar, fired ham, fat as grease, a kettle of mush or plate at riddle cakes about 11 o'clock at night, after a hard daj'a march, through isiramp and eand. wouldn't I look soar if mothtr should offer me such a supper.

This is tho answer I beg to give the honorable gentleman. Francis Newkirk, of Amsterdam, formerly a conductor on the New York Central Railroad, and more lately agent of the Michigan Central, and well known to railroad men, left home about the 1st of this month. He was in New York, and talked of going to Washington. He has not since been heard of. Ho had been under medical treatment for mental disturbance, which was regarded as temporary and thought to be cured.

His friends fear that some accident has befallen him during a recurrence of his malady. WHAT GREELEY WOULD) DO WITH Jjerr. DAVIS. Mr. Qreeley thus answers a correspondent who asks him what he would do with Jeff.

Davis: -9 We would do nothing with him till we had caught him, and would nay, nothing calculated to increase tho difficulty of him or that of putting down the rebellion. If we had him faat, our treatment of him would be governed first, bj the conditions of his surrender, if euob these were; uext, by a careful determination of what was best tor the country. But we fail to perceive the wisdom of counting chickens not yet hatched. PRESIDENT JOHNSON ON ROTATION is OFFICE'.
