The Army or the Pot0mac-The Oppor-
tunity and tho Duty OF tho Adminis-
tratfOn.
Our latest news from the Army ofthe Potomac
is not encouraging. It leads US to the suspicion
that General Meade is preparing to settle down
into winter quarters. Having pushed the rebel
army across the Rapidan, he finds it too strong
ly intrenched on the heights on the opposite
side to attempt to carry them by storm, and
so we are apprehensive that he will remain in
front Of the enemy, watching and waiting for
an opportunity which may not be offered till
the return of spring. In the meantime General
Lee may amuse his adversary with thin line
of troops along his front, SO disposed as to
present the appearance Of great army, while
sending off twenty or thirty thousand men to
the support of Bragg.
We contend that this is the time and that
now is the opportunity for the administration
to settle with the rebel army Of Vir-
ginia. The difficulty with President Lincoln,
as we understand it, is involved in the sup
posed necessity Of keeping the Army Of the
Potomac between the city Of Washington and
the rebel army. II is feared that If General
Meade should attempt to flank Lee the latter
might slip In behind our army, and, by forced
marches, get back into Maryland and in the
rear Of Washington, and do very considerable
mischief before he can be overtaken. But
against any danger Of this kind we would yet
again call the attention Of President Lincoln TO
the very simple plan Of operations which here
tofore, on several occasions, We have suggested
II is the simple plan Of moving the Army Of
the Potomac towards Richmond by way of the
peninsula or on the south side Of James river
and Of providing, ut the same time, an addi-
tional army for the special duty Of protecting
Washington.
But how Is this additional army to be pro.
vided in season for an active winter campaign
We answer, readily enough. All that President
Lincoln will have to do will be TO issue a call
upon Pennsylvania and New York each fol
twenty thousand militia, armed and equipped
say for ninety days service, and within ter
days these two States, properly assisted by th'
government can throw the aggregate Of fort

The Union Occupation or the Rio
Grnndc.


Yesterday, while other city papers announced
that there was no news from the expedition
under General Banks, we gave to the readers
of the HERALD exclusively full account of that
important movement, with the description from
our special correspondent Of the debarkation
of the troops on the Texas frontier Thus, for
about the fortieth time since the war began, the
HERALD has completely distanced the other
papers in that great requisite Of journal-a
correct and early publication of the news. In
deed, we have beaten the other city papers so
often that we cannot be said to have any city
contemporaries-ina as we arealways and
normally at least a day ahead Of every other
city paper.
The force with which the United States has
thus occupied the line of the Rio Grande ia q
very considerable one, both in ships and men,
and is apparently sufficient for the object in
view Regarded as an army for the observa-
ton of the French in Mexico, or from any other
point of view that had reference to the inten-
tions of France, the force certainly would not
be q sufficient one, and the whole country
would doubtless deem that the army corps Of
which it is composed would be used to better
purpose in the reinforcement of General
Thomas at Chattanooga, or General Meade on
the Rapidan. But the real and practical pur-
pose Of the expedition is the interruption and
destruction of the immense contraband trade car
ried ON between Europe and the Southern States
by way of Mexico. Our correspondent, it will
be remembered, counted twenty-seven blockade
runners in sight Of the vessels of the expedi-
ton in the Mexican waters; and certain por-
ton of the cargoes contracted for by Huse, the
rebel agent, with the Mercantile Trading Com
pany, were to 60 to Matamoros. Matamoros,
indeed, bade fair to become great entrepot
for the Southern States Arms, ammunition, war
materiel of every description-thatt the South can
not possibly produce within its limits, and that
have kept the war alive-went in by Charles
ton Wilmington and Matamoros, and the cotton
that paid for all went out by the same places.
Charleston has been well sealed up since the
Monitors have lain in its harbor; Wilmington
not less 30 since appropriate vessels have been
employed for the purpose; and now the gov
ernment adopts adequate measures to close UP
the trade by the last Of these places. An army
corps will be well employed in this labor; and
II, by and by, Mexican complications should
arise, General Dana's men will be handy

Of rows and porterhouse broils take place

they are trying to see how much noise they can

CRUELTY TO CHnDREN.-The report of coro-
ner's inquest, held the day before yesterday,
brings to light some facts in connection with
our public schools which demand immediate
attention. The deceased, Louisa Schneider,
was child only four years of age, and had
been an attendant at the Twenty-fourth ward
public school. 1t is the habit, it seems, in this
institution to detain after school hours such Of
the children as have been backward in their
lessons, or misconducted themselves during the
day. This poor little creature was kept in,
with twelve others, to learn spelling lesson.
which she had been unable to master in the
forenoon, and she took it 30 much to heart that
on returning to her seat she was seized with
syncope, and in few minutes expired.
We know nothing more calculated to shook
humane and sensitive minds than this s'see-
ment. The idea of child Of such an age be-
ing set down to task work at all is repugnsnt
to common sense; but the fact Of her inability
to. accomplish it being followed by punish
ment is still more revolving. We do not know
which to censure most-the parents for sending
an infant like her to school, or the teachers for
treating her thus inhumanly. II CObbett de-
serves to live in. the memory Of future ages, 1t
will be more for the important truths which he
proclaimed in regard to the education Of chill
dren than for any Of his other teachings. It
was his maxim that the age Of ten was early
enough to send child to school, as up to that
time the whole care of the parents should be
devoted to its physical development. The ex-
perience of all who have been engaged in edu-
cational pursuits bears out this theory. We
have, besides, the fate Of infant prodgies to
sustain it. They never come to anything in
mature age, either mentally or physically, and
in the majority OF instances pay for their pre-
cocity by premature decay.
The idea of inHicting punishment Of any kind
upon infants offender years is as absurd as 1t is
barbarous. Not having arrived at the age Of
reason, it is not to be expected that it will have
any effect upon their minds. One result 1t may
be attended with, and what that is we have
melancholy example of in the death Of this
poor child.
We call upon the Board of Education at
once to put stop to these inhuman practices
Their recurrence would infict lasting disgrace
upon system that is otherwise admirable.

together. Remember the fate of the cats of
Kilkenny.
This scheme OF the Presidents is shrewd
one; but 1t is not original. Hamlet informed
us, long age, that the "play's the thing in
which to catch the conscience of the King"
Probably, therefore, this notable plan was the
result of the Presidents recent Shaksperian
studies. II is most apropos at present, because
the rebels are greatly in want Of actors, and
have sent to England for them. Only few
months ago full troupe arrived here, en- route
for Richmond, but were stopped at Fortress
Monroe. This is the beauty of the Presidents
ideas: they are always so timely. Then, too,
consider the acute intelligence which has &C.
lected only Shakesperian actors Shakspere is
the most loyal Of playwriters. Rebels find no
mercy at his pen. He ridcules, abuses, de-
nounces and kills them of gloriously. Two
weeks Of him at Richmond would make the
rebels sick Of their evil works. Hackett and
Forrest on alternate nights in Shaksperian
characters would bring the whole confederacy
to the dust. Hackett would make them roar
and Forrest would roar at them. One would
split their sides with laughter and the other
would split their heads with noise or their
hearts with pathos. No rebels could stand this
course Of treatment long. They would secure
peace either by Staying the actors or returning
to the Union at the end of the first weeks
performances Which Of these two courses
President Lincoln expects the Richmond rebels
to pursue II Is not for us TO say That is the
only doubtful point about The whole trsusac-
| tiGn.
