HANG THE LEADERs.-The Philadel-
phia Bulletin very sonsibly remarks: I'VE
hear complaints everywhere, without
solitary exception IN those who speak Of
it. among loyal citizens, Of the lenity Of
the Government towards the rebels. We
have captured pirates; prisoners of war;
notorious rebels; men ready to rise any
moment against the Government; desert
ers from our army, and of all the men yet
taken, or within the reach Of the Govern
ment, not an example has yet been made
They are permitted to take the oath of
allegiance, exhorted to be good boys in
future, and sent off to plot treason again
Unless law is upheld by penalty, it is
mere advice, and the Government is bro't
into contempt. We are quick enough at
sending to the penitentiary poor wretch
who steals few dollars, and we all declare
In theory at least, and sometimes in prac-
tice, that the wilful and deliberate murder
er must be hung. We do this because we
believe that the majesty of the law must
be upheld
But it will be asked, Would you cause
the scaffold to run with blood, as in the
French Revolution? We might very safe
ly reply that there is no danger of our
Government becoming saneuinary; the
danger is all the other way But we have
definite answer to the question We
would not dlench the scaffold with gore.
but we would hang the deaders.
We would hang the captain of every
prlyateer. We would hang JEFF Davis, if
we could catch him. We would take spe-
eli cial pleasure in hanging Floyd, Cobb and
Thompson. Especially would we hang
iwiggs as high as Haman. Of the desert
ing officers from the army, some examples
ought undoubtedly to be made We are
either in earnest in this matter, or we are
not. 1t We are in earnest, the people de-
mand that the Government shall show it,
and that sharply"
The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-10-03

have we seen that action denounced and
renudiated" with the bitterness and fierce
ness represented by our editorial neigh-
bor. But, taking his assertion for truth
we pass on tn that remarkable sentence
in which he says, ''it affords him not
little pleasure to be able to sustain the
President in this matter, and TO defend
him from the assaults of his abolition ma
ligners" This is all very we'll "Half
loaf is better than no bread, and we
know the President will, like the most OF
mankind, receive small favors with thank
fulness But mark the consistency OF this
our editorial friend He comes to s'sus-
tain the President and his administra-
ton, at "a moment when the ink is not
drv ON the sentences which he has written
against them. For he charges them with
holding the lash over every Democratic
paper in the land, while the Republican
press is left unfattered. He charges that
Republican editors have freely published
articles which, lad they been published
by Democrats, would have secured their
arrest and imprisonment He charges, in
a word. wholesale discrimination in IA
vor of Republican newspapers, and by way
of putting cap ON the climax, adds, that
this ''certainly does not look like strict
and impartial justice, and would lead one
almost to believe, that there is some
thing rotten in this kingdom of Den
mark" Now, isn't this pretty way to
sustain the President and his administra-
ton? Verify, our neighbor bloweth hot
and cold with the same breath
mCall you that backing of your friends?
A plague such backing"

GRAFTON, Va, Sept. 25.-Five hund-
red Of the Fourth Ohio regiment with one
piece of artillery, and the Ringgold caval-
ry, seventy in number, under Colonel
Cantwell, and four hundred of the Eighth
Ohio, under Col. Harke, made an advance

A FIGHTING PARsoN.-Rev. B =
Ward, pastor of a Congregational Church
lii the village of Genesee, H., eoneeiyes
it to be his duty to forsake the pulpit far
the field. He has received authority to
raise Il company of infantry, but propose,
to enlist clergymen only An appeal 70
his clerical brethren, published over his
own signature, calls upon ':the fghtinr
stock OF the church militant" to prove 70
the world their willingness to seal with
their blood what they have talked in their
pulpits," and closes with this extraordir,-
ry passage:
much as we have said and done 10
prove our loyalty, We have not yet resisted
unto blood, striving against sin. Shall
we now, at the call OF Christ, come out
from behind our velvet-cushioned barracks.
whence we haYe so often hurled bold, in.
dignant words at the giant iniquity Of the
age, and meet it face to face with the hot
shot of rified artillery with the cleaning
bayonet, or with clashing sabres in hand
to hand encounter :"
"Parson" Brownlow, of Tennessee, has
hitherto borne the title of the ''fghting
parson," but he has never gone so far as
this Illinois Clergyman, and Mr.. Wari Is
clearly entitled to wear the honJrs.
