Ok, just need to see if this is legal.

I have thornbite staff equipped to a Incandesent Soulstoke.
and two Harbingers (Currently 2/2's)

now my opponent has three Goldmeadow Stalwarts (Two 3/3s)

I attack with my Two Harbingers and he blocks with Two Stalwarts

Now Can i tap Soulstoke and deal one damage to The third stalwarts, as those two creatures die and then uptap Soulstoke, deal another one damage to the third stalwart and so on and so on untill i am tapped and no more creatures go in to the graveyard.

Cheers in advance ^__^

SpookzZ,
The phrasing of your question is very poor :P
In short, the answer is no.

In long... You're attacking with a Incandesent Soulstoke which is currently a 2/2 with some wacky abilities from the Thornbite staff.

Your opponent is blocking with (if i'm understanding correctly) Two of his three 2/2's. Yes, you can tap to deal 1 damage to something.  But it's not enough to kill anything.  When damage resolves from the stack (depending on how damage was assigned) Your soulstoke will have had 4 damage assigned to it and die when state based effects are checked.  My recommendation here (assuming you have 4 mana available is the following)

Edited for my retardedness

Hopefully that wasn't too confusing to you.

Hmmz
yes sorry about the the bad explanation.

I will try again

Ok
I have Incandesent Soulstoke which is a 2/2 with Thornbite Staff attached to it.
i have two flamekin harbinger out with our both 2/2 (+1/+1 from Incandesent Soulstoke
and four mountains untapped

my opponent has Three goldmeadow stalwart Three 2/2's

I attack with my two Flamekin harbinger
he blocks with two of his Goldmeadow Stalwart

Now normally they would just trade and we would be left with one creature each
but when declares blockers
can i tap two mountains and tap incandesent soulstoke deal One damage to his third Goldmeadow Stalwart (the one that didnt block)
then as our creatures go in the the grave yard i can uptap and tap the incandesent soulstoke so basically what im asking is do the creature  stack when they go in the graveyard.
so in the this instance i would be able to play the ability from the Thornbite staff Five times?

i hope that a little better explained ^__^

Much better explanation this time.  The answer is Yes.  Each creature going to the graveyard will trigger the staff once.  Each of those triggers will go on the stack.  In between each of them resolving you (assuming you have the mana to do so) can activate the staff to deal damage.
