tits not easy to believe that the rebels
mean to stack the fie{d-works opposite
Washington; or thstshey intend to cross the
Potomac between Washington and Point
Of Rocks, in face Of the strong divisions Of
Banks and Mccall; or that they can hope
while opposed By the twenty-five YES
GELS Of The Government to cross the
river below the city and make
a push for Baltimore. But, if We
say that they do not intend to do any one
OF these things, we are at loss to account
tcr their rashness In pushing their piekets
up to our intrenchments, and in taking
positions, as On Munson's Hill, whence
they are, any moment, liable to be driven
out with loss. OF this, however, we may
be assured: a battle, either BY the motions
OF the enemy, or the strategy Of Mcclellan,
is any day possible; and if we may rely
upon the correctness Of our information
from Washington, it cannot be postponed
heyosd the 18th. We know that our army
is in most gratifying condition; that,
though untried, its morale is good and its
patriotism undorbted. We are not at lib
erty to mention its numbers in men and
guns; hut we may eay that the tantasy
which thought that Virginia could be
wsested from the rebels by McDowell's
column Of 10000, lily provided tn artil-
lery and almost without cavalry, has been
dispelled and that preparations have been
made commensurate with the magnitude Of
the undertaking When our men next move
into the field, they 60 to conquer, They
have unlimited confidence in their young
commander, whose presence anong them
is the cause Of bourdless enthusiasm; they
have acquired a knowledge o. the dangers
and duties OF the tine and occasion; they
have espoused the honor and manhood OF
the North and We devoutly hope for their
success. But war is q lottery. a chance
shot, an accidental fright, miscaiculation
cf an hour in time, or half mile in
distance, OF slight defect in plan, may ruiz
the proudest army and put host to flight
- We do not hold out assurances of vic
tory; but we believe in 1t. Next week
TIVE write on Saturday Will probably con
firm oIr expectations or give reality to
CUT fears. It will be the critical week OF
Cur national existence. As lis events are
1eYealSd, so shall We rejoice or mourn.

Lincoln to maEof1in Greeting.

The reply Of the President to Gov. Magof-
fms demand to remove the United States
troops from Kentucky is pointed negative
He tells the secession Governor that he has
cenversed with many eminent men from Ken
tucky, and that, except Mrgofin, none Of
them had asked him to remove OF disband the
troops, At the close Of his note to Beriah,
he gives the sneaking rebel dig in the ribs in
these words:
most cordially sympathize with your Ex-
rny own native State, Kentucky; bnt it is
with regret search, and cannot find, in your
not very short letter, any declaration or init
nation that you entertain any desire for the
preservation Of the Federal Union.
Your obedient servant,
A. LINCOLN.

Marrsasez and Deaths In England

Marriages and Deaths in England.
Among the returns Of the English census
taken last spring, those Of marriages and
dfashs are not the least interesting.
There were IN the year 1860, In England and
Wales, 167, III marriages in population Of
0,0U0, ,0D. FiYe-sixths Of these were solemn.
lzed by c1ergymen Of the Episcopal church,
though more than half the people are dissent
CTS. But there is an old idea among the msss.
cs that tle nl-rriage knot, to he properly
done, must be tted by ministers Of the State
church. It may say something for the mar
riage state that eight Thousand widoWers mat
1ied again, and seven thousand widows. Ae-
cording to popular notions II would be sup
POSED TINT the ladies we're most anxious to
re-eEtsr the marriage state, though the returns
show uB the fal1acy of the idea. third Of
the 3s5 900 persons married could not write
their own names to The marriage contract,
which speaks badly for the state Of popular
education in Great Britain.
The returns Of deaths show a marked i'm
provenent in the sanitary condition Of the
people. The report contrasts the statistics Of
disease two centuries back with those Of the
present time. It takes 100, 900 people Of The
London Of 1900 and compares them with the
same number OF 1860. The following table
presents the comparison. The first column
gives the deaths in 1860, by each disease, and
the second the deaths in 1860, among the
same number of people

IT some cases, however-that Of diseases Of
the brain, aporlsxy, paralysis, epilepsy,-the
older figures have the advantage Of the latter,
being 81 then to 16l ROW. Some forms otvio
lent death, too, are more numerous now than
then, especially deaths from fire, which are Is
at the present date to 5 at the former date.
The opposite element, however, restores the
balance, cases Of drowning being 10 now to 20
then. Deaths By old age are not given in the
tables from which these statistics are COM
piled. These returns show that the Laws Of
health are much better understood and OBJ
served than they were two centuries since,
aud that medical science has undergone great

WHAT TO Do WITH THEM.

The few men IN the country whom long
and unscrupulous partisanship has de- |
mented, are just now exceedingly solicit
Gus to know what Gen. Fremont will do
with the slaves Of the rebels, who will be
liberated by the operation Of his newly
proclaimed martial law. The answer is
easy:
L They..win 60 to work for wages, and,
as freemen, earn their livelihood. That
they can do this latter is clear enough
from the fact that heretofore they have not
only earned bread for themselves, but
bread and meat for their masters. Or,
Il They Will enter the service Of the
Government Of the United States, as ser
wants IN the camps, as scouts, IS laborers
in trenches and On Notifications, or as loyal
lovers Of the Union, with muskets in their
hands, to fght the Comanches, the Creeks,
the Apaches, and the other red savages in
the employ Of the rebel States; Or,
Ill In Missouri they can be organized
into squads and detailed to watch the rail
roads and railroad bridges which theseces.
aionists, encouraged BY sympathisers in
our midst, are tearing up and burning
down, for the purpose Of destroying wo-
men, children and other non-combatants.
Here are three uses to which the negroes
may be put Were they all adult males,
we should prefer to see them placed as
soldiers il the army-the school in which
to learn regular habits in the time OF
peace, and seNreIance in the hour oi
difficulty and danger. But as women and
children viii be included in those set free,
the first resource for livelihood is that to
which 3 great majority Of them musl
resort. In this climate hey are not lazy
and improvident race. In spite Of all thai
is ignoranuy and wickedly said, the col
sred men Of our large cities are as fa1
from paupe1ism and as free from crime a.
any other class Of people, although tht
inducements to exertion, by reason O.
their low social status, are cut of. Tha
