InterestIpg Facts Regarding Mortality.
The duration of human life is governed by
Law, the operations of which are as regular
as that of gravitation. 1t is proyerbially
uncertain with the individual, but there are
few things less subject TO fluctuation than
the average duration of life with q multitude
of individuals. Take 10000 persons in the
prime of life; 1900 will die the first ten
years, 800 the next ten, j, 700 the next ten,
and so on till all have passed away; 10000
persons at the age of 25 will attain the age of
62 years, on an average at the age OF 35, 65
years; at the age of As, So; at the age of 90,
II. The average age at death of all born is
about 80 years; one quarter die previous to
years; one half before II those who pass
this point enjoy an advantage refused to one
half the human family. Truly, in the midst
of life we are in death.
= OF the ], 1000, 900, 900 on the earth, it is es-
timated that 80, 333, 333 die every year, 9l,-
s24 every day, 3,730 every hour, 60 every
minute, or one every second. The deaths
are balanced by an equal number of births.
We also note the comparative mortality in
the chief countries of Europe, as given by DR..
Far; in England one person dies in every
45; in France, in every AZ; in Prussia, in
every 80; in Austria, in every 33 in Russia,
in every %. 1t will he seen that the lowest
rate of mortality exists in England. The

mortality of the various cities in the United

Probable Duration Of the War.

Some give it ninety days but we will
give it six months. In this armed move
ment TO the South the people of the North
are ahead Of the Government If Mr.. Lin
coin wants them he can have 5000 men in
three weeks, aud 200 millions of dollars to
render the war short sharp and decisive.
In the first place he can march on Richmond
from Washington with his troops TO restore
the authority of United States law. Wher-
ever there is post Office and custom-house
at the South the Federal Government has q
right TO protect both with any number of
troops necessary for the purpose. This is a
view of the legality and constitutionality of
the action of the administration which seems
to he lost sight of at the South.
The principal towns would thus be occu-
pied in succession by the advancing army,
and that accomplished, the surrounding ter
ritoFy is necessarily reduced to submission
to The Federal power.
The State of Virginia has seized the Gus
tom-house at its capital. The Federal Gov
eminent has q right TO retake IL, and assert
its own authority. In view of the near ap-
proach of danger, the Virginia Convention
may reconsider the Secession ordinance, or
perhaps the State may redeem its honor by
claiming that it is not yet out of the Uuion,
and by throwing the responsibility on the
people, who are to vote for it in May, and
would probably vote in the negative in
order to save their soil from becoming the
theater of war.
If Virginia should give way, the other
States will be likely TO follow her example,
and thus, in short time the whole South
would be restored to the Union. If Vlr-
| giuia resists the contest cannot last very
long, considering ber large slave population,
which will either become fugitives or take
up arms against their masters. Slavery
would thus be abolished, and abolitionism
put an end to at the same time. The major
ity of the people of the North do not desire
to meddle with the slave property of the

voidably result in its destruction can hardly
admit of doubt. As the principal property

Major Anderson and the sshool-Bo,s.

1ueS0ay 3 NEW L IOEh papers say:
The school boys of New York appear to
look upon Major Anderson as being in some
way under their care; for day after day, and
at all hours of the day, troops Of the little
fellows march up the avenue, and on reach
ing the Brevoort House, cheer Justify for the
hero of Fort Sumter.
The most interesting incident of this ma
ture took place yesterday, when the bows
from Ward-school No. ii, in Seventeenth
street, to the number of 500, marched down
the avenue in military order, under the COM
msnd of the principal Of the school, Mr.. j. G.
McNary. The boys were all neatly dressed,
each carrying small flag in his hand and
wearing a rOsette of red, white and blue rib
bon on his breast. When the boys reached
the hotel, several hearty cheers were given
for Major Anderson, and his appearances. at
the door of the hotel was the signal for re-
newed applause.
The boys then sang the "Red, White and
Blue" at which the Major appeared much
pleased, but when the National anthem.
I" Hail Columbia" was sung he was evidently '
much affected. AT the close he raised his
hand and said: "Boys, from the bottom OF

you and protect the Rag Of your country." !"

Anderson by the principal, who, after shsk-

A Southern Cauard Reported Destruction
of the New York Seventh Regiment.

A Southern Caunrd Reported Destruction
of the New u Ork Seventh Regiment.
Tie following from the Nashville (Tenn.)
Patriot, shows the kind of news they man
ufactnre in the South: ....
A telegraphic dispatch received yesterday
by Mr.. j. E. Brennan, of this city, from his
brother, DOW on a visit to Richmond, states
that the New York Seventh Regiment has
been cut to pieces by the Marylanders This
regiment left New York last week, and pro-
ceedtd to Philadelphia by land. There they
embarked on q steamer for Annapolis, Nd,
and their safe arrival at that place was an
pounced in a dispatch of the 2lst from New
York. The Seventh Regiment is from the
city Of New York, and has been regarded as
one of the most superior corps of soldiers on
the continent. 1t was the peculiar boast of
the New Workers. If it has been cut to
pieces there must have been heavy loss on
the side of the Mary rylanders. They left New
York fully armed and equipped, and carried
with them also battery of Dahlgreen guns,
for field service, with a supply of grape shot.
A regiment composed of such material as il
was, and so we'll appointed, in every respect,
could not have been overcome, even by SUI
perior numbers, without hard fighting and
heavy loss of life. If the Maryland militia
have succeeded in cutting them to pieces
they have won imperishable laurels.
When the Marylanders attempt to cut the
Seventh Regiment to pieces, they, like their
lauIels, will of necessity perish.

IMPORTANCE OF FLYING ARTILLERY.-0ne-
twelfth of every army should be flying ar
tillery. While Cincinnati has been pro.
viding infantry and heavy and light artil
lery in abundance, it has neglected this most
efficient af all military ornaments. True, it
is expensive but this isno time to count the
cost. The State will provide guns, but the
city or private individuals must furnish
horses, harness, saddles, revolvers and uni
forms. Cincinnati should have at least four
good batteries, and we hope the Council
will not neglect to make an appropriation to
establish them. The whole expense of arm
ing one battery, including cannons, will be
about $4,000.
