Important News Three Of Sir John

Letters from DR.. G. +. Hall have been
received by Mr. Grnnel at New York,
containing the intelligence that three OF Sir
John Franklin's men are still living. This
is extraordinary and agreeable news. II
they are living, their narrative Of that mvs-
terious and i'll Iated expedition would be
one of the most Accordingly interesting
stories ever published. DR.. Hall says that
Capt. Crozier, who succeeded Franklin III
command of the expedition and three men
have been seen. Crozier was reduced TO a
heeton, and being starved To death, viii p
his threee men were fat, they having lived
Oh human flesh the flesh OF their roppan-
ions who all deserted the two ships that
were in the mountains Of ice, while Crozier
would not cat hnman flesh.
The man finding the party at once took
them in charge, and, catching a seal, he fed
Crozier sporingly, day by day, until his
life was safe. He thus cared Tor four men
through the winter, during which one Of
them died. Crozier and The two remaining
men were then taken TO Neilhelle, in Both.
MIA Felix Peninsula. where there were
many minutes having guns and plenty Of
ammunition, they were enabled 10 shoot
ducks, noureces Sc. The Inuutes treated
them very kindly. At length they started
for Keobneras country, since which they
have moi been seen. All this was in 1864
but The Innutes insist that Crozier aud hi,
friends are not dead.

SATURDAY MORNING, JULY %, 1865.
What will you do? Will you grind them,

What will you do? Will you grind them,
or will you be magnanimous?
Once we were happy nation, and we can
be so again-it rests with you. You must
conciiiatc the Democracy. Our party North
is magnanimous. We stand ready to for
give you for having drafted us, for having
taxed us to support an unconstitutional war,
providing you II stop now Woo our South
eln brethren back with gentle words. they
are high spirited and sensitive race, that
can never be subjugatcd. Take them again
by degrading conditions Give them a chance
to Ipay the war debt, invite Magotlin and
Vance and Brown and all of the rest of the
Governors back to their various capitals
give Lee and Forrest and Beauregard their
positions in the Regular Army, and pen
sion the disabled confederate heroes.
There must be no hanging. You have
caught that unfortunate statesman, DAVIS
he tcl into your hands because he was
ignorant Of the style Of your late Lincoln 81
minions. He might have known that the
soldiers never saw n woman taking to the
woods without chasing her. But he must
not be hung. Democracy looks upon the
matter thus:
"You can't hang a man for couspirlng
against the Government, unless he takes up
arms.
"If few take up arms, it's only riot,
aud no hanging matter, except when Adolf
tionsts like John Brown do it. In such
C. c., hanging is always in order.
:" If . number Of States do it, it's revolu.
tion and them as you capture must be treat
ed as beligerents and prisoners of war. 10
hang prisoners Of war, Andrew, is murder.
This would probably satisfy the South. At
the North less is required. The Democracy
is easily conciliate1. Give our leaders
enough OF the officers TO support them: with
the privilege of managing to suit Us, and the
trouble is over. On them terms We'll sup.
