COLONEL FoRyEY, in his Philadelphia
Iress, is out in strong article defending
SiMox CAMERON, the Secretary of War,
from the attacks which have lately been
made upon him in the leading Republican
papers in the large cities He says:
ain the matter of contracts not con
tract has been given out by Gen. Cameron
which has not met the appreciation either
of Gen Scott or the officers of the regula;
army at the head of the military bureau.
"if Gen. Cameron has committed a
mistake, it is because he has yielded too
much to the martinets in the regular ser
vice. or, as the Washington lobby would
have it, has not been sufficiently atten-
tive to his friends. The result is, that
many of those who complain of Cameron
are indignant because he has not been
able to make them rich Nobody could
be Secretary of War in these times with
out being subject to the most searching
criticism"
Mr. Forney further adds
Every one of their allegations has
fallen to the ground. General denuncia-
ton is always safe refuge for mere par
tisans, but when driven to 81 ccific charges
their malignity and falsehood are made
shamefuliy apparent. These men should
remember that Gen. Cameron is man of
enormous fortune, and, therefore, beyond
every motive of cupidIty; and that, al
though in times past decided and some
what energetic partzan, he has reached
that period Of life when the ambition to
do right becomes almost religious duty.
1t is this feeling that induces him to defy
calumny and to challenge investigation.
The New York Tribune also opposes Mr..
Camerons removal. The Cincinnati Ga
zette opposes it, unless the whole Cabinet
goes out with him. On the other hand,
the Cincinnati Commercial the New York
World, the Boston Transcript, the ST
Louis democrat and the Chicago Tribune
are vehement for cameron's removal.

Marriages and Deaths In En- gland,

among the returns OF the English census
taken last spring, those Of marriages and
deaths are not the least interesting.
There were in the year 1850, in England
and Wales, lG1.Gil marriages in popula-
ton of 2o,OO0,0O0 Five-sixths of these
were solemnized by clergymeu of the
Episcopal church, though more than half
the people are dissenters. But there Is
an Old idea among tho masses that the
marriage knot, TO be properly done, must
be tied by ministers of the State chur:h.
1t may say something for the marriage
state that eight thousand widowers mar
ried again, and seven thousand Widows
according 70 popular notions it would be
supposed that the ladies were the most
anxious to re enter the marriage state,
though the returns show US the fallacy of
the idea. One third of the 335, 600 per.
sons married coull rot write, their own
names 10 the marriage contract which
speaks badly for the popular education in
III Great Britain.
The returns Of deaths show O. marked
improvement in the sanitary condition of
the people. The report contrasts the sta.
tistics Of disease two centuries back with
those of the present time 1t taxes lOO,-
OOJ people of the London of 1860 and
compares them with the same number of
