SOUTHERN CHIyALRY.-At all the recent bat
tlest the rebels have run away and left their
chivalry behind them. They ran away at
Beaufort, tried to run away at Roanoke, scam.
pered at Fort Henry, stole off under the thiev-
ing Floyd at Fort Donelson, beat retreat from
Nashville, and are now running from Columbus,
by the last accounts. We should not be at all
surprised if they took to their heels from MUIR
freesboro, Savannah, Manassas and Richmond
before long. The confederacy Is evidently rum
ming itself into the ground.

WHAT SHALL BE Done WITH THE REBEL LEAD.
ERs THE question is being discussed as to how
the federal government should treat such pri-
soners as Gen. Buckner-men who to the crime
of treason add others of the blacklist and foul
est character. It is not to be pretended for
moment that such deep-dyed criminals should
be treated as mere prisoners of war or regard
ed as entitled to their exchange. 1t would be
monstrous to place them on level with the
poor wretches whom they have made their
dupes. Their own estimate of the justice that
should be meted out to them is very different
from this II shall see you again, shortly,
General" said one of Buckner's visiters on
quitting him on Saturday last. "Aye, per-
haps on the gallows," grufay replied tina
worthy. It is the same belief that is no doubt
sustaining the superhuman efforts that are being
made by the other Confederate leaders to pre-
vent the immediate collapse Of the rebellion.
They are conscious of the immense crime which
they have committed against humanity, and of
the terrible reparation they will have to make
for it.
No man who has had prominent share in
dragging the people of the South into this
wicked rebellion should be'exchanged or libe-
rated until competent tribunal shall have de-
cided. on the extent Of his criminality. For
such infamous traitors and thieves as Floyd
and Cobb, should they ever fall into our hands,
halter is the only fit punishment.

CownrDING AND ADvERTIsING.-Poor Greeley
is queer fish, and must have q tremendous
crack in his empty head. The Tribune has run
down so much that he had to advertise, in
Saturdays HERALD, chat it was still issued; and
this time he paid the full price-not half price
for the advertisement. He was SO angry NJ

GREELEY's PET GENERAL.-Poor old, silly
Greeley announces that General Fremont is to
have an important command by and by. If he
does we presume the government will allow him
two or three millions of dollars with which to
buy condemned muskets, spawned horses and
shoddy blankets, and give him the right to
issue just what proclamatlons he likes, and build
Notifications at every place where no enemy
can possibly come.

ENGLISH VERSUS AMERICAN DrPLoMACY-The
English journals profess to sneer at what they
call the inferior ability displayed by American
statesmen. The occupation which Mr.. Stewards
diplomatic correspondence is giving them does
not, however, bear out this depreciatory con-
clusion. They are carping at and quarrelling
with 1t in manner which proves that there is
more in it than they can easily digest or dispose
Of They will learn to place juster estimate
on IL when they find 1t suggesting to leading
European minds pressing grounds for the recon-
struction of the principles which at present
regulate the international relations Of the
world. Let them note well this fact, that
limit was set to England's arrogant pretensions
at sea from the moment Mr.. Seward took pen
in hand to argue the Trent question.

TRUE STATE OF THE AMERICAN QUEsTIoN.-The
London Observer publishes under the above
caption letter from Thurlow Weed, to which
we give insertion elsewhere. 1t takes for text
the inquiry with which the writer says he is fre-
quently met-"Why should not the North per-
init the South to secede, instead Of engaging in
civil war?"-and proceeds to trace the history
of the slavery question for the last thirty years,
showing that during the whole of that period
rebellion had been steadily maturing its prepa-
rations for the blow which has since been
struck. The wicked and utterly causeless
character Of the movement, and the moderation
and forbearance of the North up to the last
moment, are also placed in strong contrast.
All this would have done good a couple of
months since. AS it is, it is forestalled by the
diplomatic correspondence of Mr.. Seward,
which has entirely exhausted the subject

Letter From Florida.
FERNAND1NA, Fla, April IL, 1862.

FERNAND1NA, Fla, April IL, 1862.
The boat which recently came down,
brought orders from Gen. Hunter to Gen.
Wright for him to evacuate jacksonville,
reinforce st. Augustine and Fernandina,
and return to Hilton Head with the bal
ancc of the troops. The General and
staff were indignant at the idea of leaving
the people at Jacksonville to the mercics
of the sccessionists, but of course we had
to obey orders from superior officers.
Gems. Sherman and Wright had given the
people assurance that the U. S. troops
would protect them. They had called a
State Convention to elect Governor,
Members of Congress, &c. All the peo-
pie in the vicinity were returning to their
homes, and We should have had all East

Members of Congress, in short time.

town., three years of age, had her left hand
badly cut with an axe, in the hands of an
older sister, severing the bone Of the band

bly, rendering that finger useless. The
axe fell upon the back Of the hand, cut
ting through the palm, and very badly
wounding the back of the hand. laying
