longer lived than the single ones, and,
above all, those who observe sober and
industrious conduct. Women have moro
chances of life previous to the age of fifty
years thar men, but tewer after. The
number of marriages ara in proportion of
twenty six to one hundred. Marriages
are more frequent after the equinoxes,
that is, during the months Of June and
December Those born in the spring
are generally more robust than others.
Births and deaths are moro frequent by
night than by day. The number of Ian.
guagss spoken is four thousand and six
ty-four. The number of men is about
equal to the number of women. The
average of human life is thirty three
years. One quarter die before the age
of seven one half before the age of sew
enteen. To every one thousand persons
only one reaches one hundred years, and
not more than one in five hundred will
reach eighty years. There are on the
earth one billion inhabitants. Of these,
thirty -four million three hundred and
thirty three thousand three hundred die
every year, ninety one thousand eight
hundred and twenty four die every
day, seven thousand seven hundred
and eighty every hour, and sixty per
minute, or one every second. These los
ses are about balanced by the equal num-
Der Of births.

The Brutality Of the Rebels.

A correspondent Of the Boston 7rar.
eier, with the Twenty second regiment
writes under date of Yorktown, May 9th
as follows:
Over dozen men in our division were
killed yesterday by the traps Of the brare
chiralry Of the South, aud it is a miracle
that more we're not. Gen. F.. }. Porter
had narrow escape with his life His
horse stepped upon one Of these torps'
does, exploding the powder, but failing
to ignite the charge of the shell. The
General dismounted anG had the internal
destroyer dug up, and it now lies in front
of his headquarters. 1t is a hundred
pound shell, and would have deprived
our country of one of its best officers,
had the powder ignited.
Earlier in the day, Gen. Jameson had
similar escape while in the works with
the advance A member of Berdan' S
sharpshooters, who was killed near his
rife pit, beyond our outposts several days
ago, lay in the field where be first fell.
The rebels had come out, taken his re.
peating rifle, and planting four or five OF
these torpedoes around the spot where he
lay, doubtless anticipating terrific ex,
ploson and loss of life, when our men
prepared to bury him. There arc num-
erous sad incidents related Of the effects
of those more than brutal machines.

WHITE-OAK SWAMP, June 80, '62.
The following extracts from the

plans more forcibly than comments

GENTLEMEN: AS | feared would be
the case when | wrote to you on the
oath instant, | will be prevented by
my duties here from attending the
meeting in New York on Tuesday
next. | regret exceedingly that it is
so.
You say the object of the meeting
is to give expression to the sentiments
of the peop!e who are opposed to the
continued agitation OF the negro ques-
ton and are in favor OF the restora-
ton o. the Union as it was. This is
an object worthy the attention OF the
people of the great city of New York.

force over the public mind ard over
legislation. both State and National,

The Truth out nj Last.
THE DISASTER BEFORE RICHMOND,

THE DISASTER BEFORE RICHMOND.
At last it is out /! A week ago to-.
day began before Richmond, a series
of five days battles, the result of which
mystify it as you may to soften the
disappointment, is a decided reverse.
There are Qualifications ofthe bril-
liant strategy" Of changing the base
Of operations that only raises the won.
der why, ifthe James River base were
so vastly superior, it was not dis
covered four weeks ago, before the
time had been wasted and the army
had been scourged by the malaria Of
the Chickahominy swamps; there are
confused accounts Of desperate fights,
that leave one in doubt whether we
won or lost, OF whether so losing were
not more honorable than the most bril-
liant victory; there are strange stories
Of fearful slaughter, of the destrution
of millions of dollars worth of army
stores at White House, OF the loss OF
our siege guns, and OF other disasters
so crushing that we refuse to believe
them till forced to it; but, in the ab-
seGce of the official bulletins, which
the mistaken policy OF the Govern
ment still withholds, there is this, at
least, out Of the thickening reports OF
reverses that come crowding upon us
which we are compelled to except: The
President admitted yesterday, to an
officer, who, Of right, demanded that
the silence Of the Government should
be broken, that Mcclellan had been
seriously defeated, and that lie called
for fifty thousand more men. Details
will be coming in for weeks, but that
is the keynote to the whole. heart
sickening story.
THE STANTON AND MCCLELLAN VAR.
Meantime the most violent warfare
RACES between the Secretary of War
and the General in command before
Richmond. The friends of Stanton
point to the defeat, and say that Stan.
ton had predicted it. and, il he had
his way, the army would have been
commanded by a man who would
have averted it. The friends Of Nc.
Ulellan charge the whole responsibll.
ity upon Stanton; declare that he in.
terfered with McClellans plans; scat.
tered his troops; withheld from hin
reintorcements, and invited the defeat
we have received. The friends OF
Stanton declare that Mcclellan Is a.
bundantly proved incompetent, and
must go out; the friends os Mcclellan
declare that Stantcn's meddling and
arbitrary Interference has produced
disaster enough, and that he mnst &C
