THE RATIO OF BIRTHS IN WAR.-It ba

The RATIO OF BIRTHS IN WAR.-It has
often been asserted that the proportion of
males to females born in time of war, is
greater than during piping times of peace
This appears to be confirmed by the statistics
of Providence, Rhode Island, in 1861, the
number of masculines born having been 936
against 7S9 females difference of fully
eighteen per cent. This will afford the good
people of that plucky State some compensa-
ton for the waste of manhood during the
year.

WASHINGTON, August 30--The National War
Committee. appointed at the great mass meeting
here on Wednesday, yesterday increased in
numbers, on motion of Gen. Walbrdge. to forty
one, in order 10 represent every variety of polit-
cal sentiment, if they all thoroughly agree in
sentiment TO vigorous prosecution OF the war.
Gen Walbrdge leaves for Chicago tonight to
attend the Pacific Railroad Convention. He has
been invited to speak upon the war at several
leading points in the West.
Gen Walbrdge, as early as April of last year,
insisted that the first call of the Government
. should have been for 600 900 men. and that
Charleston should have been the first point as
sailed.
1t is not true as stated that Gen. Mcclellan
has BEEN appointed or placed in command of the
Federal forces in Virginia. Major Gen Haleck
is the Commander in Chief, and Major Generals
Mcclellan, Pope, and others, are in command of
Their respective divisions.
Information has reached Washington from pri-
vate sources that Gen. Pope came up with and
attacked the enemy again shortly after o'clock
this morning.
Gen Fitz John Porter had probably arrived Oh
the field by that time from Manassas, only seven
miles.
The cannonading was distinctly heard in Wash
ington.
The railroad was regularly run this morning
from the town of Warrenton 10 Bristor, so it is
already clear.
The only damage remaining to be repaired TO
the road is to build the Bull Run and Rappahan
mock bridges The former should be completed
to night, and the latter Will be finished in four or
five DAYS
The news received from the army has occasion
ed the greatest excitement throughout this city
orders were issued by the heads of different Blu
reaus calling upon employees to repair TO the bat
tie field for the purpose of attending 10 the con-
diton of our wounded. The order required
each man to provide himself with two days rations.
A prompt response was made to the call, and not
only persons employed 10y Government but many
others left the city for the purpose stated. Al
though the engagement with the enemy was OF a
most appaIingly sanguinary character, yet such
is the confidence of Union men in the skill and
strength OF cur army, that abiding faith is
everywhere dscernabe in our ultamate success.
The President and Secretary of the Treasury,
were closely engaged to day in completing the
law appointments under the Excise direct TAX, for

virginia News.

INV YORK, August 29-The following h $
been received from the Associated Press:
We have reliable advices through letters re-
ceved to night that affairs at Washington and
Alexandria to-day wear more favorable aspect
The Secessonsts Of the latter CITY are less iubi-
liant. and carry respondent cOuntenances.
Gems Burnside and Pope have successfully cut
their way through the rebel forces at Manassas
and have formed junction with the army of
Virginia under Gen. Mcclellan this side of Cen
treville.
There has been a severe engagement with the
rebels by the divisions under Hooker. Sturgis
and Summer, in which he rebels were completely
routed and driven from the vicinity of Manassas
and Bull Run, and through the passes of the
Bull Run mountain. The loss of life on both
sides is said to have been heavy. No accurate
information is attainabe on this point, but il is
believed the enemy we're very severely punished,
and MANY prisoners taken.
1t is stated that the Potomac river is ford
able at any point above Washington, and much
excitement prevails throughout Western Mary
land arising from the fear that the Confederate
army may make desperate and destructive raid
in that quarter, but the arrangements for proper
reception of the traitors at all points ample
for all emergencies.
The enemy has not yet appeared on the Upper
Potomac, although the indications have pointed
to such an event, and the excitement on both
sides of the line continues.
The fears for the safety of " Washington are
entirely dispellcd as the defences of the Capital
perfect and mpresnable.
The general feeling OF the lOyalists of both
Washington and Alexandria is one of more conf
dence, and the depression which has prevailed
among the loyal men for week past, have
given way to JOY and gladness.
That there has been the most extensive move
ments of troops from Alexandra and other points
is beyond doubt, and it is currently believed that
a large portion of our army has had either Skin
mishing or had fought battle with the enemy
within the last twenty four hours.
1t is generally believe an extensive forward
movement of the whole army was made to-day
under General Mcclellan, involving battle, out
the result, if battle was fought, has not yet
been announced.
Our advices are up to noon to day, Friday,
and are from the most trustworthy sources
