Probable Future Increase of the Blacks.
In the preliminary abridgment Of the
census report of 1850, by Superintendent
Kennedy, we find table of the probable
future increase of whites and blacks in
the country, based upon close scientific
calculation. During the last seventy
years, the slaves have increased in a reg
ularly diminishing ratio, with the excep-
ton of the decade from 1920 to 1880. From
1870 to 1900 the increase was 1928 per
cent; from 1900 to 1910, z per cent. F;
from 1910 to 1920, 1923 per cent; from
1920 to 1880, 86.87 per cent. from 1880 to
1910, 2O.S7 per cent. from 1910 to 1850,
12.46 per cent; and from 1850 to 1860,
1897 per cent. The report estimates that
for the future the rate will probably con-
tinue to diminish. The estimated increase
for the several decades to 1900 is, respect
lively, l2.77, 11.6s, 1924, and 9,46. The
relative estimated increase of the whites
exceeds that of the colored, and if large
numbers of the slaves shall be emanci-
pated, this disparity in favor of the white
race would greatly increase. 1t is only
when under the infamously prOsituting
system of slavery that the colOred race in
oreases with especial rapidity. Out from
under that curse, and the ordinary rules
by which white increase is calculated, will
also answer for the negroes.
It will be seen that the pretended fears
of the anti-emancipationists, that the North
will be overrun with food of negroes
who will increase in the same ratio that
they have done in the last seventy years,
are all groundless, and the surest way to
nrauant sunh a state of afFairs is fnr arnan.
cipation to have extended operation
throughout the South. So long as the ne
groes are held in slavery, SO long will they
multiply with amazing rapidity, and Sc
long will there be a steadily flowing stream
of fugitives toward the free States. Let
slavery be emancipated, and the increase
will diminish, while there will be no fugi-
tives from a land of freedom and congo
nial climate to colder latitudes where there
are no cOmpensating advantages.

Slowly and reluctantly the officers began
to follow their men down the hill, at the
foot of which they Immediately reformed

The 10th Ohio also suffered terribly, q

attack over the crest of hill behind which
the 10th was lying upon its face, coming
suddenly over another eminence upon its
flank and pouringin murderOus fire be-
fore the men could raise and change front

whole day was filed up with desperate

bafled foe. 1t was day of glorious deeds
and of Federal victory.

This is the day for the verdict of the
people of Ohio upon the great cardinal
questions which are before them. The
question Of conhscation and emancipation,
and Of the most speedy and thorough
crushing Of the rebellion, are to be voted
upon to-day, as truly as if they were writ
ten out upon the ballots for State, County
and Congressional tickets. For the time
for the execution of these measures is yet
- -N-.a-As vat thAu ara anlv nroposed-
or in the state of preliminary operation.
We are waging a war against the traitors,
but the final crushing out is in the future.
1t is Of the utmost importance, therefore
that the leaders and rulers should be men
about whose position there can be no posi-
bic doubt: men who would bend every
energy of their nature to the one great
work Of compelling an honorable peace
and, having secured that, to such civil
adjustment Of the causes Of the disturb
ance that they would "down" forever.
We want no second rebellion after this
one is disposed of-no second firing Of
the Southern heart" To prevent all ap-
prehension of any such second inhiction,
we want men in Office who have no more
leaning toward treason than toward pois-
on, and who will shun all afiliation with
rebeIlious sympathizers as they would a
Pestilence.
Il is an indisputable fact that those who
are identified with the regular Democratic
ticket, are filed with opposition to the Ad-
ministratiOn in its efforts to put down the
rebellion, and sympathiEe with the rebels
who are made to suffer thereby. And this
one fact is enough, in the eyes of all hon
est and loyal men, to stamp all such Sc
eessionists with disgrace. The result Of
to-dsy's voting will tell how many there
are who would cross-hands with the mur-
derers of their brothers and sons who
would meet with cordial grasp the plum
derers Of State and National treasures /;
who would beguile with soft phrases the
eowardly Williams who burn the houses Of
defenseless Unionists over the heads Of their
wives and little ones; who would capitu-
late with the merciless wretches who
amuse themselves with outraging the
persons Of Union wives and daughters
who, in short, would consort with thieves,
sympathize with traitors, excuse rebels,
and Justify assassins.

:. The President yEants lin Re-eIeeted., 2,

The President wants him Re-elected."
The Cleveland Herald, few days ago
sneered at the assertion that the President
was anxious for the reelection of radical
men to Congress, and among them of Jas.
NJ. Ashley, of the Toledo District. In a
speech on Saturday evening last, Mr.. Ash
ley stated the following fact which the
Herald should note:
"The speaker referred to the personal
issues in this contest. When last down at
Washington he found that the Secretary Of
the Whites Hall Convention had telegraph
ed to the President that one Morrison R.
Waite had been nominated by the Union
Convention of the 10th District for Con-
gress. The President did not know what
it meant. He handed the dispatch to Mr..
Chase and Charles Sumner The former
remarked at once that there were applica-
tions on file in his Office for the appoint
ment Of several gentlemen in the 10th
District TO Offices under the new tax law
who had the recommendation of the said
Mr.. Waite. The President forthwith tel
egraphed to the speaker CMr. Ashley, )that
his nominations in the district had been
confirmed. That is the way the President
listened to the schis matte movement of
the disorganizers in this District"

The Washington Republican of satur-
day, says it has authority for stating that
there is not one word of truth in the many
rumors of Cabinet and high military
changes put in circulation by the Star of
that city, and accepted as gospel truth by
hecredulous sensation press Of New York.
The Presidents recent visit to General
McClellan's army was made after full con-
sultation with the Cabinet, and had for its
object to discover, if possible, the cause Of
the unaccountsble inactivity which has
deprived our army of all the fruits due to
it from the victory of Antietam. The
President went forth in a spirit of inqui-
ry, and returned, still seeking information
on this important point.

Truly loyal men will not be likely to
have the support of known secessionists
or opposers of the war. The Ashland
Union speaks of the opposition which had
been shown to the draft in that county and
says that if the despot Lincoln had few
hundred thousand men in the field, he would
meet with the fate he deserves; hung, shot
or burned-nO matter which" Now the
Ashland Union bitterly opposes the
Republican and Union nominations and
endorses the straight out Democratic tick
ct. There need be no doubt, therefore, that
the duty of all loyal men is to vote and
work for the one which the Union opposes.

Cheese ns an Army Ration.

The Eighth Census report strongly re-
commends cheese as a part of the regular
army ration, saying that it is especially
rich in hesh-forming constituents, and is
capable of doing more to repair the waste
of muscular exertion than many times its
weight in butter or fat meat.
