The dangers of war are lessened by it, and limits are put (o the evils of rade passion. Dot the kuowledge of the modern law of war, how- ever important for persons iu the military as well as in the civil service, is by no means sufliciently extended. Tt is, thero- | fore, a daty of science to make this knowledge accessible to whom has already received $600 bounty, while the other has had but $100. If anything is to be done in thiis line, let it answer to the profession under which it is commended. of We have received a communication from Newbern, N.

Possibly this work may be used for that purpose.” Wo understand that Dr. Lieber expects to have the work of the German jurist translated into English. Having mentioned the Geneva Con- vention for the relief and protection of the wounded in the field, we may also state here that the results of this International Congress, as well a3 the “Treaty for the Amelioration of the Condition of Wounded Soldiers of Armies in the Field,” between certain Powers of Europe, may be found in apamphlet just published in Washington, under the titleof *“The ‘American Association for the Relief of the Misery of Battle-Fields,” a central national Committee, auxiliary to the * Comité Internationale do sécours aux Mili- taires Blessés,” &c. This Association was formed after the dissolution of the great Sanitary Commis- sion, and counts among its members most of the prominent members of the late Commission. We are quite willing our country cotempora- ries should resort to Tng TripUNk to aid them in edjting their papers, which they use to a much larger extent than they do any other journal; and we are willing, whether they credit us or not with what they take, which many of them are very careful not to do. But if they do o't mind, we would rather they would u't attribute to us what never appeared in thess col- umns, as The Newport (R. 1) News of the 2lst inst. an article on *The Radicals and Restora- . “«TORTURE OF JEFFERSON DAVISY Under this head, The World cites the testimony of Dr. Cooper, surgeon at Fortress Monroe, that Mr. Davis has been greatly broken of his rest during much of his confinement in that fortress, by “the tramp of the creaking boots of the sentinels on round the prison-room and ke relieval of the guard at the ex piration of eve rb('n hours, which almost invariably weakens Bita.

Yet The World raves through a column, which begins thus: 1t is no longer a matter of vewspaper rumor that the | troatment which Jefferson Davis has received during bis incarceration in Fortress Monroe hna been such as to bresk down his_constitation, and to put him, aftor 12 moutbs of | ghould France remain neutral, the strength of the cted suffering, i il of death : Suinnerr ,.""‘ * “"mmm. pm:; ? | ¢ this | two parties would be about as' follows: Prussia and And here is the most astounding close of thit o1 puper havea population of 40,000,000 souls, strange outbreak: and their armies, put on o war footing, will together “1fthe members of the Congressional majority at Wash- | =y ) " T o A ascee wiskod men thén the siarnest | DUIbeE abiout 1,000,000 mes. s On the other hand, we have Austria with 35,000,000 of their M‘.lirll opponents would willingly In‘hnl'lhv"'xhln be, they will compel a prompt exposure of the authors of this | 4 41 yinor German.

If Louis Napoleon, by his specch at Auxerre (or by the intérpolated account of it in the Moniteur),did not mean to pledge bimself to the support of Italy and Prussia, he undoubtedly wished to be understood so at Vienna, The speech contained the significant hint to the Austrian Government that if France, **de ing the treaties of 1815," and always sympathizing with the *“national aspirations of oppressed peoples,” espectally with those of Italy, which, a few years a by the cession of Savoy, enabled France to ** rectify” a part of her frontier, should once more unite all her forees with those of Italy and Prussia, the aggregate strength of the two belligerent parties would be very waterially changed. shameful thing, s prompt exposurc and a ponishment as prompt.

The Daily Mining Journal, (Black Hawk, Colorado,) replying to an assault on the New State movement, claims for Colorado a present population of 40,000, and adds: “Itis mottrue that mining has evor been ata stand still; that the gold erop of any year has been almost a failure; that 830,000,000 have been invested in mining ic this Territory ia 1864 or since it was & Territory; that bay sells in Winter at $300 8 tun, and that grain costs 13 to 25 cents a pound. We onre not who mak® such statements, they are falso, If these parties found thers in Gen. Pierce's report, or in auy other report, they enght rather to sbow their falsity than parade them for the suke of belittling the resources of the Territory. Tt is not true that our population has been decreasing sinoe 1861, sor that it will continue to decrense, It has been gaining since the beginning of 1854, notwithstanding the unheard of difficultion with which we have struggled. In 1863, our assess- able property doubled in value according to official reports. It is not true that our petrolenm resources are covfined toono well yielding two barrels o day. They are ample to supply the Territory, and have only been awaiting the arrival of refining apparatas to be fully developed, The well now yields 40 barrels adsy. TItisnottrue that we have but one salt spring worked in o small way; we have many of them, and the one worked will supply all the salt used in Colorado witbia three months. Aud ‘we have butone small iron farnace and very few cval veins opened,’ say these birds of evil omen. We have the most magnificent cogl and iron ore beds in the world, and it is to our credit that even one furnace for the manufactaro of pigs has been pat in operation. How many of the Western States can #ay a8 muoh.” —e FREEDMAN'S BUREAU AGAIN. A bill has been introduced into the House contin- uing the Freedman's Bureau for two years. The bill protects the loya! froedmen and refugees, and directs the appointment of two assistant-commissioners in addition to those now anthorized, who shall have charge of certain districts. These commissioners and their subordinates shall be under military jurisdic- tion and military protection. No person shall be deemed destitute or deserving of assistance ¥ho has capacity and opportunity for work. For the purpose of making the Burean self-sustaining, the President is directed to reserve from sale or settlement under the Homestead and Preémption laws and assign to freedmen and refugees not exceeding a million acres of land in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansas, to be allotted in parcels of forty acres cach, at a certain rental, The rental will go toward the support of the Bureau. When the price of each allotment of land is paid to the Government, a foe simple title will be given to the owner. This bill seems to meet the want of the South. Two years will enable us to decide more practically upon the condition of the South, Two years more of military occupation will, we trust, strengthen the Union power beyoud any successful opposition, and wo may hope by that time to have our loyal element predominant, and the sensible Southerners thoroughly weaned from the tendencies of rebellion and secession. The reservation of uudeveloped lands is & wise meas- ure. Give the freedman and the refugee a home, and they will become useful, intelligent and conscieutions citizens. It is to be hoped that Congress will pass this bill. We scarcely think the President will veto a measure 50 just and at the same time so conservative. THE WEBSTER VASE, In the year 1835, Mr. Webster was probably at the hight of his popularity, moral and material prosperity, and rational political hopes. If he ever had any chance of the Presidency, which is doubtful, it was then; and next, perhaps, to Mr. Clay—all considera- tions of expediency out of the question—he had a right to the nomination by the Whig party. nullification, and he had fought Gen. Jackson, the great foe of nullification; he was the idol of the cupi- talists of New-E| d and of New-York; he was termed ** godlike” by his admirers; and in Massachu- | setts he was as nearly omnipotent as Mr. Calhoun in South Carolina, or Mr. O'Connell, at one time, in Ireland. But his darkest days were to come. He was to lose his hold upon the affoctions of more than | ns; | a very small class of his immediate fellow-c he was to undergo the ignominy of his connection with Mr. Tyler's Government; and he was to throw | away name and famo by his support of the Compromise measures. It will not do, perhaps, to say that he died of u broken heart, for he was an old man when he de- parted; but it is & matter of history that he did die bitterly disappointed, poor, greatly in debt, without much political influence, and with his popularity at home so seriously diminished that he probably could not have been sure of a majority of votes for any oftice whatever. All ways, to use the words in their comon | g ation, he was unfortunate. Mr. Burke, in re. citing the sorrows of his old age, dwelt with peculiar pathos upon the death of his son, which would pre- clude him from becoming the founder of afamily. Mr. Webster lost not only the wife of his youth, to whom he had given the first affections of his great heart, but children who were dear to him. Since his death, his only surviving child has perished in battle, and we are now told that ** the direct descendants of the illustrious dend are passing away oue after the other.” This is the American fate. We gather fame and fortune, but these found no families, Hero and there, we meet with & man who is proud of his great-great-grand- father; but much oftencr we encounter respectable persons, who do not know who their great-great- grandfathers were, We have no law of entail nor of primogeniture, and large wealth is rarely kept in alump for more than two or three generations. Capacity for publie affairs is quite as rarely transmitted. The Adams family has been distinguished for talent and ability through three generations; but no similar in- stance at present oecurs to us, There are many of our readers who will remember that Mr. Webster was, on the 12th of October, 1535, presented by the citizens of Boston with a silver vase. It was given to bim as **The Defender of the Con- stitution.” Three thousand persons flocked to the Odeon (o witness the ceremony. Mr, Francis C. Ciray made the presentation speech—Mr. Webster “‘a stio Jreply.” We may bo sure happy and clarac that ** the Webster V about that time. Itis a curious fact that some of the lieve in the people of the United States. The President holds no doubtful attitude! His policy is a good policy: where 's there a better policy 7 Give usbetter poliey, and wo go for it: but. it vou, do uot. we will of course, the agreements of the Enropean Powers at | the Congress of Paris, April, 1556, From the following translation of a portion of the prefuce, it will be scen what efect the American code gentlemen who originally subseribed for this costly token should now be found uniting with others in buying back the piece of plate from Mr. Webster's heirs. How much they paid for it, in the second instance, we are not informed—probably something more than its worth as old silver. But whatevor its value, the thirty.nine gentlemen, headed by Mr, Poter Harvey, bave struck a bargain, and sent the vessel to be forever preserved in the Boston Publie Librarg. If too poor to keep it, the family, it scoms, were not too prond to sell it, and the utensil has beon saved from an ignominious exhihilimtin an auction- room. The transaction is painful enough to provoke a little cynical reflection. It seems as if dollars and cents were to be forever associated with Mr, Webster's name and memory, Mer still talk of his prodigions earnings and Lis equally prodigions prodigality—how he lived beyond his income and was always in debt— how he carried great sums in his waistcoat pocket, and how he lost them—how he took cash for making Taylor speeches—how he kept tradesmen out of their money—how he borrowed of all who would lend to him, and often forgot to pay—how he reccived a regular aunuity from several of his friends, &e., &e. His great abilities carried him throngh all thig, under which lesser men would have sunk; but when he died, he left none who had a like claim upon friendly generosity, although in a position greatly needing it. But it is hardest of all to have these mercenary remin- iscences associated with a lofty nume. The publie has its own idea of clean palms aud of disinterestod public service. The younger Pitt did nothing which came nearer to making him actuslly popular in En_ gland than his refusal to receive money from the City of London, He, too, was extremely poor and dread. fully in debt; but the proposal to relieve him by a pub. lic subscription met at once with ‘ided snd in. flexible disapprobation. What a private man owes or docs not owe; whether he lives within or beyond his incowe; *whether be be economical or extravagant, is mercly hisown business or that of his creditors. But Mr. Webster's affuirs were made public affairs; bis wants were relieved by publio subscriptions; his pecuniary eccentricities were the theme of public anecdote; everybody who knew him knew that he wasted much moncy and often wanted it. The silver vase, which is to be preserved in the Boston Library, will inevitably perpotuate these scan- dals. This should have been a sufficient reason for consigning it tosome less public custody, with a some- what smaller violation of the laws of good taste and of gentlemanly feeling. But its position haviug been settled, it must be admitted that the toy will not bs without its lessons—lessons which it is unnecessary for us to more than sugges! THE DEATH RECORKD oOF THIS CITY, During the two months ending May 12, there was, in the City of New-York, 22 deaths from starvation, 127 deaths from accidents and negligence, 22 from drunkenness, and 10 snicides. The deaths from acei- dent aud negligence present quite as frightful a re- cord. In the present state of scicuce, whose special province it is to foretell just such events, scarcely | single hornicide of this kind ought to occur. An ordi- | nary degree of care, or even & partial adaptation of the knowledge we have to the daily affairs of lifs, would prevent uine-tentis of the deaths from accidental causes. What enzineer, being aware of the strength of a bridge, and the weight of a train, cannot tell the exact degree of danger to life when the onc passes over the other? There is no excuse for crushing a man be- tween two vehicles in front of the Astor House, or ruuning over & child in Third-ave. There are com- paratively few persons 8o reckless as to expose them- He had fought | was very much talked of | selves to danger of maiming or death, so that the great majority of those who die from accident are slain outright by others to whom they have intrusted their lives. # Last, though by no means least, in the catalogue of preventable deaths are those that are caused by cone tagious diseases. Under proper sanitary condition we do not believe typhus ever could oceur, or if it did, with only the same degree of frequency that small- pox follows vaccination. Nevertheless, during the two months to which we have already referred, 796 deaths took place in the City of New-York from dis- eases that science ought now tu be able to prevent, In the same period the total number of deaths from all causes was 3,997, showing an annual death rate of 33 in 1,000 of the population, basing our estimate on the census of 1365, The greatest weekly mortality during the same time was 473, in the week ending April 7, equivalent to an sunual mortality of 34.356 in 1,000 inhabitants; while the least was 421, for the week ending April 21, showing an annual death rate of 30.139 in 1,000. In the leading ecities of Great Britain, for the week ending April 7, the death record shows the following annual rate of mor. tality: London, 27; Edinburgh, 23; Dublin, 21; Bristol, 32; Birmingham, 32 erpool, 42; Man- chester, 35; Salford, 44; She 33; Leeds, Hull, 26; Newcastle-on-Tyre, 25; Glasgow, 33. To render the comparison compl , we give also the ane nual death rate, for the week ending April 21, as tol- lows: Loudon, 26; Edinburgh Dablin, 32; Bristol, 27; Birmingham, 2%; Liverpool, 36; Man- chester, 36; Salford, 35; Sheflicld, 30; Leeds, 33; Hull, 24; Neweastle-on-Tyne, 20; Glasgow, 38, From | these statistics it will be seen that while New York | compares favorably with the leading eities of Great Britain, London, with a population quadruple our own, has an annual death-rate remarkably smaller, fact altogether due to its sanitary condition aud the methods emplored to provent and control disease. o discrepancy is toogreat; but the means by which it may be remedied are obvious. The Washington Chronicle says: A fair avalysis of last nighs investwment of the Johnsom Club leaves the tollowing product: For mi policy * The ent, St Department, The The ’lrenu;y—‘. | For the policy of Congress or the people: The War Department The Interior, The Law, “The Post-Offico Department—4. —We do not think the record justifies this classifi- eation. E Secretary Stanton says he was at one time in favor of securing the right of snffrage to the colored inhab- itauts of the Rebel States ** either'as a universal rulo or to those qualified by education or by actual servico as soldiers who ventured life for their Government." “After calm and full discussion” his ** judgment yielded” to the adverse arguments resting upon the practical difficulties to be encountered in such a measure.” This, is one divergence on the Secretary’s part from the policy of Congress and the people. The other is where the Secretary refuses to indorse the Con- gressional plan. Mr. Dennison does not, in his whole speech, breathe one wish for universal suffrage, not oue hope for justice to the loyal Black. Ou the contrary, he says that **but one thing remains to complete the work of restoration and to clothe the Southern States with alt their Constitutional privileges, and that is their repre sentation in Congress.” Not one word for the negro! Assuredly, Mr. Denuison does not stand by the policy of the country aud Congress. —In making up a record, it is well to make a trud one. The Fayetteville News (N.
