HOW TO DO 1T.

Abolitiond0m being somewhat puzzled as TO the
proper mode Of reducing the Confederate rebels
70 anything like satisfactory subjection, the new
York Express comes to their aid with the follow
ing suggestions. 1t evidently considers the JOB
heavy one, from the magnitude of the means it
would employ to execute it
To wage this war properly fleets on the South
ern coast, full of armed men every ready to land
anywhere and every where, must be kept up as a
sort of seafying artillery. Western Virginia must
be maintained Eastern Tennessee must be opened;
while Missouri must be recovered. To effect even
this with the whole South now in arms against us,
flll 500, 900 men are necessary; while II Richmond
is continued In the programme, 100000 must be
added on. To open the Mississippi from Cairo to
New Orleans, 200 900 men are Indispensable. Thus
a million of men become necessary for active war
while, if 8ubjagaton or even occupation De IN
tended 500, ,0GO must be added on, only to do gar
rison duty. The process of reasoning all this out
easy is, if 10000 men are necessary to garrison
Union State like Maryland, how many are neces-
sary for the tiers Of States on from Virginia to
Texas?
We, says the Savannah Republican, interpret
tLs as follows: d" Mr.. Lincoln, you have entered
upon task which you will never perform SO we
advise you to give up the folly, and take care of as
much Of the country is left to you by this unfor
tunate attempt to inaugurate Black Republican
rule over brave and generous people,
together too liberal, as it indirectly if not directly
conveys the idea that the editors of the New York
Express cosld speak the truth. We know the
editors of the Express. At one time, long ago, we
foolishly iululged in the belief that many of the
leading men Of the North, particularly the Express
editors, possessed some attributes Of honesty, de-
cency and bravery. A few weeks experience,
after the secession of Louisiana, convinced US Of
oIyo inl, aH had
known it, to a Crime-under which we labored,
aud we have stEiven, successfully, ever since, we
hone. to avoid the errors for which we have
apclogized. At all events, we haven't been guilty
in the premises for months, and ardently trust
that We and all our Southern contemporaries, will
hereafter refuse to place any reliance upon North
ern editoriataou,
The editors Of the Express. while throwing a
doubt upon Lilco!n's capacity for prosecuting the
war--a mere Abolition excuse, looking to the
flture-haye on numerous occasions, while they
believed the South was easily conquered, recon-
lnended modes Of warfare from which the widest
ComancAe Indian would shrink with horror. And
the editors of the Express are among the very best
Of the representatives of Northern humanity
Christianity and honor! Consequently, while the
best have no words Of reproach to those on theii
own side who commit the crimes Of theft robbery
burglary, arson, perjury, murder, rape and al
other imaginable and unimsginable atrocities
which go TO make up the catalogue Of Abolition
Bickedness, il is fair to infer that they goat ovel
the vile deeds Of those they have put in the field
against hoat who never harmed them, nor sough
to harm then--whose only wish was peaceablt
dissolution Of national partnership, and an equit
able adjustment Of pecuniary affairs,
By way Of conclusion, however, when the Ex
press gets its million and half of men, to murde
the Southern people into loving them, we hope
will make the great, glorious and Christian fact
public to all mankind.
