There is work to do of more importance ; and We do not know that the ends of jus tice will be frustrated by keeping the rebel chief in the stony embrace of Fort Monroe a few weeks longer. President JOHNSON has certainly given no indication of a change of sentiment on the atrocity of Treason. He branded it as " - a crime," in memorable English, in his. inaugural speeches after Mr. LINCOLN'S assassination. Not so, however, with many of the party leaders ; with some even of those who were the earliest and the most savage for the bloody punishmertt Of traitors, The Now York Tribune- is not only for pardoning JEFFERSON DAVIS, but for forgiving all the leaders and actors in. the Rebellion.. The Tribtme proposes to exchange universal amnesty to the traitors for universal suf frage to , the colored people. The same opinion is held by GERIiPP SMITII, and, of course, by WENDELL PHILLIPS and his fol lowing. And in the New York Independeni of July 20, HENRY WARD BEECIIER ex plains himself thus : I do not know of any Oriole that is greater than the crime of treason against such 5. Go vernment as ours ; and I hold that every man that has been a principal actor, a voluntary, managing head of any sort, in the late . rebel lion, and has continued to be such to the last, not only is guilty of treason, but has earned Most abundantly' the extreme penalties of the laW. And of all Southern nien, Ido not .know of any that I think worse 'sl' than Jeff Davis. Of course I am liable to be blinded; .and if I had found that all the South loved him, and the North hated him, I should have said that we were controlled by the influence of our class ; but I found that he was disliked by the Southern people even inure than by the Northern people. I did not find a man that did him reverence; but I found a great many men that denounced him. They went further than I 'could o in discrediting his ability ; for I think he has shown much ability, lint it seems to me that he line been the worst man, the most deliberately bad man,that the South has produced. He has been a man of fanaticism, and of that kind of fanaticism which largely involves the malig nant element. I believe there was no in justice, no cruelty, and no scope of - cruelty, and no persistence in it, which he was not capable of, if it was the only way to carry his end. He was one of those men that coolly violate every principle of morality for the sake of succeeding in their purposes. And regard him as the master criminal. " Now, when lie, with all the other chief rebels are arrested and tried, if it can he 'shown that he has been connected, by delibe rate knowledge, even, with the :Ammons con spiracy which this day celebrates, I know of no reason why . he should not give his life from the gallows, just as every other murderer does. lf,whiin the facts in the case are brought to light, it is determined that lie has had It hand in this nefarious plot, I shall not have a word to say, and there will not be a word to be said at home or abroad (I.l7airiSi his excen- MD. Bra, if he is convicted 'only Of having headed this rebellion in other welds, if his offence is a political offence, I believe that lie should be tried for his life, that lie should be condemned to death, and that then his sen tence should be commuted to disfranchise ment and banishment for the rest of his days. People have asked me, Where yenta you banish him toll I would let him choose the place to which he should go ; but I would in sist that he should not stay here. It is said, Has he not deserved death V Yes, a hundred • fold. lint neither in human or in divine law do we think it expedient to give a man all the punishment he deserves. " Look, for instance, at the grounds on which we arc to stand as a nation. It has come to be a familiar saying, We are fighting the battle of all nations; and my own mind has rusted very much upon the effect of our conflict upon the democratic elements and. prospects of Eu rope. And this is a question that is to he set tled on two grounds. First, what is to be the effect of the mode of our dealing with these head culprits upon the COllllll - artity at home? and, secondly, what is to be the effect of the mode of our dealing with them upon the world abroad 3 " ow, as to its effect upon the community at - home. Ido not think that the gallows will add one single particle of emphasis to the enormity of this great crime. &Len say that IhstiCe reddireS this, that, and the other thing. 1 say that justice requires farthing which not for the good of the community. All that punishmtnt is for is either, first, to reform the - culprit, or, second, to deter the. rest of the community from ever becoming culprits. Well, hanging never reforms anybody! As to detering anon from hereafter hecominbe coming traitors, by the hanging of Mr. Davis and, his compeers, I hold that the war itself, by its re sults and outcome, is the most terrific warn- Jag that could possibly be set up. And to a. - & tempt, by erecting against this lurid back ground the petty figure of a gallows with a man dangling at it, to heighten the effect, would be like lighting tapers, when God's hghtnings are flashing across the heavens; to add to the grandeur of the storm. "The idea of emphasizing, the warning against treason by the execution ,of Qne or two inch,"' - "Hell" Stitte' - are ITatircwipren - , by it, when the youth of fifteen States have been cut off, when every other family in those States are broken up, when communities are utterly disorganized, when wide deserts lie waste, where prosperity was wont to teem, and when the world looks upon the spectacle of un mitigated suffering, of power broken, of money squandered, and of towns and villages sacked and desolate—such an idea is prepos terous. The voice of God in history is more solemn than any voice that you can add to it by any human administration of justice. "So far, then,_ as these men are concerned, we should not hang them for the sake of their reformation. And if we wish to produce a moral impression on the community, that is already produced to a degree that no hanging can equal, or parallel, or augiAent in the slight. est degree. " Then, there is another consideration. The public sentiment of Europe is against political executions. England holds her soil sacred from the intrusion of the pursuer of political 'offenders. Fram-i will not give them up. Lit tle single-handed Switzerland hides them in her fastnesses, and refuses to hand them over. For in Europe political offenders have for the most part been men that have sought to ame liorate the condition of the masses ,• and the common people have come to feel that executions mean the infliction; by a despo tic Goyernm ent, of punishment upon men that have attempted to mamvurate greater free dom. And the public sentiment of Europe is ill favor of men that are made sufferers for political criracii.” Such reasoning is music to the recent rebels and to the Democratic politicians, whose sweet v ces mingle with the anti-Slavery leaders, and make up a sort of public opinion. Note, further, that they - steadily oppose the military trial of the humane Darts. What effect such invocations will have upon a civil jury may easily be antici pated. That there is'an earnest demand for making a marked and summary example of the chief traltoroind for ntaking treason to the American Union infamous through all time, is beyond dispute. How craftily and industriously it - is sought to disappoint and baffle this demand, we have sufficient ly shown. President Jonissox's words stand unrecanted. That is enough T forthose . who arc uneasy as to .hint. 'Would not be odd to hold him accountable for senti ments which have the singular merit of not having been spoken by - . 'himself,- and of being direcitly opposite to what he has spoken 2 LETTER FIROIIII-".OCCASIONAL.99 WASHINGTON, Jllly. 31, 1365 At the close of the Mexican War . aud the Administration of James K, Polkof whose Cabinet be was a distinguished member—Robert J. Walker, of Mississippi, paid a visit to Europe. Ile - was received with open arras by the English aristocracy, and especially by the great free-trade lead ers. Ills prominence in hupporting the tariff of 18-46, as Secretary of the Treasury, had secured him a warm, strong place in the affections of the manuacturing barons— whether those who bought our raw cotton and returned it upon us woven for our mar kets, or those who enjoyed and pros pered upon their splendid monopoly in other fabrics. Thirteen years after wards the same Robert J. Walker rald another visit to Europe., But this time he did not go to propitiate the ariStee racy ; nor was he their honored and wel comed guest. Ile appeared in London as the apostle - of the American Union, the representtd ive of the American Government, the enemy of Repudiation, Slavery, and Rebellion. The gentry who had feted and complimented him in 1851 were astounded at his new mission ; and a deputation was sent to him, complacently to ask an explanation. I wish his reply could have been written and preserved. He told them that he was not in London as the advocate of a section, but as the cham pion of a great people; and he expressly admonished them that the manufacturers of Great Britain, who might have looked forward to the day of that reciprocal free trade of which he had long been the defender, had forever forfeited that hope by their offensive complicity with the rebellion, And he went further. He inti mated that the time might eame when in The hour of the assured triumph and 'Miss:ince of the American Republic, an carport duty would be laid upon time very cot, ton then and now so essential to their pros- PeTillt• And when they Were desirous to know how this Could be clone without violating our Constitittion,-he gave them an answer which showed that he was not ready to disclose the designs of Govern ment, nor his own well-considered opinions on that vital question. The one great thing that the rebellion lin done for the Amen can people, after killing and burying slave ry, State rights, and treason, is to show to the world that, haying' defended them selves in war, they are more than equal to the task of providing for themselves in peace. The perfidy of Great Britain has assisted to develop this attribute, and the conscious: ness of it was signally and significantly de monstrated lit the late Detroit Commercial Convention, when the great principle of protection to American industry and man ufactures was proclaimed amidst enthusias tic acclamations. Gov. Walker's prophecy to the British sympathizers is being ful filled. An evidence of the present feelincr in England may be found in the Liverpool Afercury of the 12th of July. Take the fol lowing remarkable passage : - "There is no town or port In the United Kingdom that has gained so mach as Liver pool from the adoption placeh free-trade prin ciples, and there Is no in the kingdom. that has so great an interest as IL4iverpool in the extension of those principles to, all the countries of the world. So far as England is concerned, the Liberal party, %eluding the adherents of the late Sir Robert Peel, has so completely established the ascendency of those principles us to leave little, if anything, to be done by succeedic g Ministers and Parliaments. But this is not the case with foreign nations, few of which have adopted those prhieiplea even to a moderate extent, and none of them completely. So long as this continues to be the case the benefits of that admirable system of commercial policy will be onlypartially en joyed even : in this country; for, although we have wisely opened our ports as wide as possi ble to the products of the whole world, it will Still require many years of negotiation on the part of the British Government to open the ports of the whole world as widely to our manufactures. Indeed, some of the greatest commercial nations, both of Europe and Ame ricaystill cling closely to. the worst delusions of the protective system. 2his is especially the case in the United States of America, in Which country the protective system is at present so COM vtetety established as to threaten the most serious wdury to the greet trade between England and America, Which has /sag v's., , siod the principa/ element in ,the commercial greatness of the port of Littnrool. it is of the utmost consequence to the future progress of Liverpool that every effort should be merle by our men Government to urge on foreign countries, and especially on the Veiled Stoles, on entire change in their present restrictive aud exclusive policy, end the adoption, at the earliest possible period, of the free and en2ight cued cOmmerdol poineipics which hate proved of so much advantage in this country. 77 Already have the bloody instructions re turned to plague the inventors. This paper, The Mercury, was one of the most offensive Secession organs in England all through the rebellion. The Liverpool merchants, of whom it is the mouth-piece, labored. bitterly and persistently to destroy us as a nation. They gave their money by thou-. sands. They helped to build, equip, arn4 hide, and send forth rebel corsairs that preyed upon peaceful American Comineree. The present Mayor of Liverpool is a leading blockade-runner. The same class elected Laird, the builder of the Alabama, to Parlia ment from Birkenhead. The building of that robber of the seas was made an issue in his canvass,ancl he won (in making it) by a thou 7 sand majority. Liverpool herself elected two' of the most envenomed tories at the same time to the House of Commons. And now the United States vac-coolly called upon to repeal our tariff laws, find to establish free trade for their advantage, by these foes of Freedom, Civilization, and Humanity ! WASHINGTON.

This arrandement resulted disastrously to the postal revenues; and ao, at the late Congress, the law absolutely requiring pre payment was restored. - The people generally are not, hOwever, aware of this fact, for the number of gunpaid letters returned to the Stead-Letter office now average from twelve thousand to fifteen thousand a day.

On the 25th the pumps anti the boiler gave out, rendering it almost impossible to keep up the fires. On the 2Gth the steamship George Washington came along and took off the passengers, but refused to tow the steamer. The Blackstone was then on the edge of Ibe Gulf stream, and in great danger. When one hurnircd and ten miles south of Hatteras they used sail, and, having a fair wind, kept on their course.

GRANT'S MOVEMENTS. ENTHUSIASM OF THE BOSTONIANS OVER HIS VISIT. HE HOLDS A PUBLIC LEVEE IN FANEDIL HALL. BOSTON, July 31.—T0-day Lieutenant General Grant has been-the guest of the city of Boston. After breakfasting with his family at the Re vere Honse, he was met by Mayor Lincoln and Aldermen Clam) and Garfield, and soon after nine olelock carriages Were taken fm-Charles town Navy-yard. Mrs. Grant, Miss Jessie Grant, and Masters Fred. and Ulysses Grant, accompanied the General, who, as usual, was loudly cheered by an enthusiastic crowd. Leaving the hotel at 1 o'clock, the party arrived at the Navy Yard, where lie was received by Rear Admiral Stringham and his officers. The Marine guard, under Lieutenant Pope, were drawn up in line and presented arms as the General passed. The Navy Yard band played "Hail to the Chief:" The ,wokmen, 3,500 in number, were also drawn up in and as the G en eral passed blended their hearty cheers with the inspiring music of thelmnd. OccaszoNAL liosorev, July 31.— , The public „yeeeptiOn of Lieutenant General Grant at Fanelli' fiall was announced to take place at noon to-day, but long previous to that hour, indeed, as soon as the doors were thrown open, an immense throng poured into the building; The hall was soon tilled to its utmost capacity, and thousands were compelled to Wait Without, unable to gain admittance. The interior of the hall was handsomely decorated, precisely in the same Manner as at the recent reception of Admiral Farragut. 7The General and his staff, accompanied by Atavor_Line‘un,....utered.the_hall shortlAhefore twelve o'clock, by a private entrance, and Gil. More's band struck up, See the conquering hero comes." The enthusiasm of the audience manifested itself in loud and prolonged Cheer ing and the waving of handkerchiefs, and it was fully five minutes before stillness again prevailed. Mayor Lincoln now addressed the audience, saying: FELLow-cormZIMS : We have assembled here to honor a distinguished guest, whose name is a household word in every patriotic home—a man of deeds, and not of words, whose elo quence is of that kind which has stirred the people's hearts more than any form of speech, and who is here at our invitation, to receive that gratitude and admiration for his eminent Services which we rejoice in the oppOrianity of extending to him. If our lips had been dumb, these very walls would have reproached us, and these pictured forms would have rushed from their canvas to bid him welcome to Faneuil Hall. . _ am desired by him to express his thanks to you for this demonstration, and to say that he is not in the habit of Speaking, and will not address this aSPembly. A portion of you, how ever, he will gladly take by the band, but as he has not an arm of iron, it can hardly be ex. pected that he will be able to greet all of you us you pay your respects to him. At the conclusion of Mayor Lincoln's, ..re marks, General Grant stepped forward upon the platforth, the band allaying "Hail to the Chief." After hewing_ modestly hit acknow ledgments, and calmly surveying the multi tude, he stepped back to receive the greetings of those who were already struggling forward for a chance to present themselves. For half an hour a steady stream. of gentlemen, with now and then a lady, poured by him, but a hurried and slight grasp of the hand vas all that he was able to bestow. Six or eight hundred people thus extended their personal greetings, when the General exhibited signs of fatigue, and intimated that he should have to forego_ the pleasure of extending the ceremony longer. Stepping forward upon the platform again, attended by. Mayor Lincoln, he addressed the audience as follows! LAMES ANT) GENTLEMEN: I m - 013.11111ke to take you alt by the hand, but I find that it will be impossible. I thank you for this, and for your kindness: I will bid you a good afternoon. The General then resumed his carriage and drove back to the Revere House, attended nil the way by a large crowd of people. This. al ternoom about 3 o'clock, he will visit the col leges in Cambridge, and fllo Cambridge Ar senal, accompanied by Mayor Lincoln, andthis evening will attend a dinner given in his honor by the i.nion Club. General Grant intends leaving for Portland to-morrow morning, from which point he will proceed to Halifax. A special trail - flirts been tendered for his use byibuperintonflent 'Pres cott, of the Eastern Railway. Seine More Plain Talk from Governor lirownlow- r -Gencral Thomas' Action Endorsed. NASHVILLE, July 30.—The Press, of this morn ing, publishes a letter from Governer Brown . low to Mayor Andrews, of. Columbia, in reply, to his remonstrance against theorder of Gene ral Thomas, suspending him from the per formance of the duties of his office. The Governor says: You are accused of using your official power in opposition to the freed People of. Columbia, preventing their educa tion &e. You will observe from the letter of General Thomas, in the city papers this Morn• big, that martial law is still in force in Ten nessee. Our rebellious spirits have not yet given sufficient assurances of returning loyalty to the General Government to warrant the withdrawal of the military power, or abandon ment of the military courts. It is not strange that the authorities should distrust people who for four years applied every means in their command to destroy the nation. Indeed it is great concession on the part of the gene ral commanding to declare that the military will sustain the civil power. "The Government will never assume its functions exeept in eases where prompt action is necessary to insure public safety, until our people have given conclusive evidence of their intention to obey all our laws, State and na tional. You and I and all citizens are alike liable to be arrested and tried, according to the forms of military preatice. It is extremely important all conflict between the civil dud military authorities should be avoided, as we are now situatedjust out of rebellion, in which the people refused to lay down their arms till forced to do so at the point of the bayonet. The Civil government is onlyallowed to proceed by permission of the military I hence I deeply regret the occurrences at Co lumbia. But the high character of General Thomas For prudeneO, illatien, and. patriotism, Warrants me iii assuring you that he will gladly receive and impartially consider ally, testimony you may WWI in your behalf."

C., July n.---The Raleigh Progress continues to denounce the reckless use of the pardoning power in North Carolina. "This misplaced leniency," it says, "is making the leading rebels, who are daily receiving par dons, still more defiant and disloyal than be fore. Comprising the public men of the State, they have all been designated as delegates to the coining State Convention, which body, it is known, they will control.No ,, roes and union men are the special objects of their hatred, whose protection depends entirely upon the enforcement of the confiscation law, which dis arms only the disloyal, who will be beyond the reach of the Federal authorities as soon as a new State Government is inaugurated. It is understood that this element, who hold State securities for upwards of *40,000,000, contracted sines the rebellion for war purposes, will make a strong effort to have the same assumed, by not providing against it in the new Constitu tion, but leaving it to further "Owing to this unexpected exhibition of dis loyalty and vindictive 'arrogance, the Union men are endeavoring to have the call fel' a State convention aeb!,yeit until after Congress meets, which will save time as well as groat expense, as the proposed Constitution is des tined to be repudiated by the people, as it is very apparent. it will be of an obnoxious elm racter,judging from the material designated to compose that body. These treacherous lead ers, whthave been pardoned through Gover nor Holden% recommendation, are now orga nizing in every county, and openly assert that their party is strong enough to defeat Mr. Holden or any other candidate for Governor who fails to identify himself with them." Governor 'Holden drafted a effil for a Con vention somb time Since, and sent it to Presi dent Johnson for his ratification. since then the opposition to an early Convention has as sumed formidable proportions, and is daily gaining strength. nil - Anon, July 27.—William A. Graham, Esq., ex-Member of the Rebel Senate and a political leader in this State, who will be a delegate to the coming State Convention, says that under no circumstances will he consent to the return of North Carolina into the Union if the negro suffrage question is made a condition. J, li. P. Russ of this city, who recently re ceived a Federal appointment, and who has been designated to represent this district in Congress, and also in the approaching State Convention, defines his position on the slavery question by saying that if he had the power he would re-enslave every slave who is now free. Some of the county meetings, which nomi nated the rebel leaders as candidates to the State Convention, instruct them to favor by a constitutional or legislative enactment, the binding - out of the liberated slaves to their former master,; for a term of years, The Union men are alarmed at these fresh devel opments of disloyalty, and are organizing for the purpose of demanding the immediate en forcement of the confiscation law, 'which they claim will drive these rebel leaders and sym pathizers from the political field, and enable the men of clear record to present a conAitu lion and delegation to Congress, which that body can consent to accept. The reckless manner of pardoning great leaders of the re_ hellion in North Carolina, such as graham and others, is exciting grave apprehensions by the loyal citizens of the State. GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. The People linking Few Efforts to Restore the Old Order of Things. THE INTERIOR OF FLORIDA WELL STOCKED WITH PROVISIONS.

The correspondent or the Savannah H raid gives details of a tour to Darien, Brunswick, and St. Mary's, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Pi colata, and Pilatka, Florida. At each place he found that the people had suffered much from the war, and but little evidence on their part of efforts at making repairs upon their much damaged and badly-battered towns. The peo ple were scarce, and money more so. Darien is a mass of ruins ; at Brunswick there was no business, and of the people only a few soldiers ("Crackers”) from the backwoods and lolling negroes. The same was the case at St. Mary' a, Fernandina, Jacksonville, Picolata, and Phatka, but the interior of Florida is much less injuied than the places on the sea coast; and it is said that there is much more bacon, molasses, sugar, Scc., in the State than ,for a number Of year& The people generally are cheerful, and appear satisfied with the new state of affairs.

[From the Petersburg Express.) tinder the above heading the Washington Citron/de of Tuesday has a .leading editorial, which will be found copied into our columns this morning. We consider it a very signifi cant and important document, and It should be easefully read and pendered by our people. "We do not assume," says the editor, /-‘ to speak by authority, and wo have, therefore, no privilege, even if -we had any disposition, to dictate." Notwithstanding this disclaim er, we have good reasons for believing that the article just as much announces the views and policy of the President as if it were marked, "by authority." When we consider the intimate relations between the editor of The Chronicle (Mr. Forney) and the White House, and the further fact, that the article before us is double-leaded, which is not usually the case with editorials, and whenever it is, indicates that those which are thus distin guished are intended to attract more than or di nary attention—we have no difficulty in at riving at the conclusion that this particular artiere represents the opinions and purposes of the President—in Other words, that it points out "the policy of the Government," anti conveys, in a premonitory way, such in struction as to "tile duty of the Southern pee. ple " as was deemed necessary for their guidance at the present perilous crisis. We dot hesitate, therefore, to commend this paper to a careful perusal, and to advise the People of the South to take counsel of its out givings and appeals. It urges, as the basis of the 1 , 1”0n , s restoration, the " spirit of 1111C011- 4iitilMal obedience to the Constitution anti laws." "This," it says, "is the ono cardinal principle to which all Americans agreg, save only those who still hope for the division of the country," meaning, of course, the radicals and extremists, the breath of whose nostrils is agitation—ceaseless, eternal, deadly agi tation, for the sake only of agitation. The article is obviously addressed to the people of the South, and why 1 Because the radical party at the North—the negro suffrage and negro equality party—are ever Witten ing the Southern movements and demon strations with a view to turn them to their own vile account. Any unguarded speech or act ; any imprudence ; any display of disaf fection for the Union ; any injudicious mani festation of, discontent at the emancipation of the slaves, or any harsh utterances or mea sures about the freedinen—is sure to be snatched up by the übiquitous " eorrespond• cats," and made texts by the radical press and orators for new inflammatory denuncial ions of the South,, by which they would manage to increase their influence and strength, and, in a corresponding degree, perplex and em harass - the Government and its conserva tive supporters. We must judge the re quirements, admonitions, and warnings of the Chronicle, as set ferth in the RAMO we are noticing, by the standard of the exigency to which they are intended to apply, and by 1: o other. We aro a vanquished people. We pro voked the tierce wrath of the ruling power at the North by a persistent and mighty attempt to dismember the Union. We dared it to the arbitrament of the sword. In the bombard ment of Sumpter we threw down the gage of battle, which was promptly accepted, and the bloody struggle began. After the usual \leis.
