The oft-reiterated report of Secretary Stan TOti's Intended retirement from the War De partment is again repeated with more than usual positiveness. The special Washington correspondent of the Public Ledger of this city, under date of the 15th Inst., says: " Mr. Stantox intftnds to retire from the Cabinet upon the 1st proximo." What warrant there is for a statement made in terms so absolute as to be justified only by the most authentic information, we are , not prepared to say. Similar uttorances, delivered quite as oracularly, from time to ume wimin me tasi two years, nave been contradicted by the non-happening ot the event predicted and we are not altogether sure that the prophecy In this Instance will prove more veracious than its predecessors. Snamilntfnna nn thnnnma in fTin fnklnnf however, nre not profitable, though they are in great lavor with those Quidnuncs at the Federal Capital who seem to be forever under the delusion that they do not earn their pay as retainers of the press unless they say some thing that is "sensational," whether it be founded on fact or their own prurient fancy. It may be that Mr. Stanton has resolved to resign h!s position on the 1st of February. H be has done so, and signified his purpose to the President, be no doubt has sufficient rea sons of his own for such a Btep. The wonder ' is, not that he now determine? to throw off the arduous cares and labors of his important office, but that be fcver accepted it in the midst 1 ot a civil war, and held it to Its close. lie undertook no easy and in viting task. When he accepted the portfolio which Mr. Cameron gave up, all botore him was dark and uncertain. The national arms had made no decided and assuring progress against the Rebellion. The gloomiest doubt and apprehension as to the future issue of the strife oppressed the hearts ot the true and devoted friends of the Government. The Rebels were winning victories, in spite of the heavy odds against them, and there was a growing fear, in all the loyal States, that the cause ot the Union might possibly fail for want of necessary vigor and wisdom in the War Department. But in the face of all these forbidding circumstances, and with full con sciousness of the enormous responsibility he was required to assume, Mr. Stanton bravely and unselfishly took the post to which his country called him. From that time his situation has been no bed of roses, but a bed of thorns. On him, more than on anv other member of Ithe Administration during the war, rested the fate 'of the nation. II he had not been fully equal to his duties, it is no exaggeration to say that the Rebellion would not now be suppressed. Not is it possible to devlne what the final result of the contest would have been, If a man of less ability and firmness had directed the military operations of the Government in that trying crisis of its fortunes. It Is not our design just now to pronounce a eulogy on the Secretary of War. Of his contemporaries he does not need it, even if tuey were capable of doing justice to his services. He has had enemies enough among those who have been in the last four years, the bitter though secret foea of the nation. They have hated him only because he was resolutely faithful t his high trust as the War Minister of the State in a fearful struggle against traitors. And their hate of him has always been pro portionate to his stern execution of his trust They have denounced him as a cold-hearted and cruel tyrant, only because he would not deal gently with those who were trying to destroy the unity of the nation, and to build ; up in a dismembered section of it an aristo cratlc government, in which a compara tively few were seeking ; to establish despotic rule over whites and blacks alike, whom they considered beneath them. Severe he may have been in the exer cise ot his high and responsible functions. But his severity was demanded by the extreme exigency of the occasion. . He had to be cruel hi order to be kind. He was sometimes com pelled to affect in his manner the front of " grim-vlsaged war," and even to stretch authority, for the sake of the State, beyond the limits to which a time of peace would have allowed his natural amiability and his clear conscience to go. But why say even this much in his vindica tion? His record is his best defense against slander. History, hereafter to be written by impartial and dispassionate pens, when Edwin M. Stanton is in his grave, will put him right with posterity. His chief glory is, that he was the Secretary of War under whose administration the Southern Rebellion was conquered ; and that is the proudest epitaph that any man could wish to' have inscribed upon' his tomb. Whatever else may be said of him, In praise or in censure, that one feet will crown his memory twlth everlasting honor. Those who would detract from his just merits are less hostile to him than to the Government. His worst defamers have been and are, the worst enemies of the Union. All public men in high position are, in all ountries, and especially in ours, targets tor abuse and crimination. The arrows of malig nant criticism are shot at their fair tame with THE DAILY EVENiNXr TELEGRAPH.; PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, .. l out an opportunity to launch back the barbed and envenomod shafts. Mr. Staston has received all the blows of his antagonists with out response. No vituperation, however coarse or violent, disturbed for a moment, or In the slightest degree, that equanimity of soul with which ho pursued his purpose to do all In his power, as the head of the War Department, to preserve the Government from being overthrown by the Rebellion. This tenacity of will and serenity of temper, under the trying circumstances through which he has passed, most creditably Illustrate his character. j The position he has held, at so much per sonal sacrifice, did not so much honor him as he has honored !t. Whenever he retires from it the nation will lose the services of a states man and a patriot, who has generously fore gone his own private Interests, in order to benefit his country. And that country, we are sure, will never fail to respect and honor a man who has done so much to demonstrate its military greatness, and to maintain its political integrity. ' Women and Marriage. Our gifted townswoman, Miss Anna Dick inson, has been lecturing in New York on "Marrying and Giving in Marriage." She does not positively decry marriage, but she seems to think that it is put too prominently before woman as her chief end in life, and that the training and education of girls is made to bear too exclusively upon the matri monial relation. She says : "From the earliest time upwards the woman of the present day is taught that the one end of h( r lite is marriaae tne one happiness and am bition of her life, marriage the only oppor tunity to be or do anythinar, marriage and toe only sphere in which she can develop her powers, or be of ocrvice to herself or others, marriage everywhere and by everybody is alie adviBed to get a husband. The bay, on the other hand, 1h educated for manhood; he is to go through his school-lite, throufih tho univer sity and colleee; he is to choose his trade, busi ness", piotession, or calling; he is to earn money, and niuke lor himself a home. And thou, having educated himself, and having gotton a home, society says to him: 'Take a wife to help spend lhe money, and to be a uef ul and ornamental appendage of that home.' The man is educated, not lorhueDandhood.but for manhood: and why is the woman not educated for womanhood?" , Miss DiCKiNSON'but speaks the sentfmentj of quite a class of people at the, present day, who Imagine, or seem to imagine, that mar riage in some way interferes with the true development of woman chains her down to a narrower and less noble sphere than she might otherwise occupy, and makes her 'Indifferent," as Miss Dickinson expresses it, "to books, to menial culture, to the cultivation of her own noble aspirations, and to everything but marriage." We dissent entirely from this view of the subject. It is false to the Divine constitution and end of society. Women look to marriage, and think about It. and expect it, because for the vast majority of them it Is their proper, necessary, and destined relation. In it they find the sphere tor which God made them, and in which alone the sweetest, noblest, and best aspirations ol their souls can find full re alization. Wbatls "womanhood" when' yon elininate from It tha ideas of wife and mother? Is it any longer that beautiful and blessed conception which has always com manded the love and reverence of the best of our race ? . , . Marriage is the oldest of human relations ; it dates back to the Garden of Eden before the fall; God Himself instituted it; it is the foundation of the family relation, and through it of the community and the State ; from It spring the social joys, domestic peace, and the sweet sanctities of home; It is, in short, the great conservative institution of human society. Were some mighty convulsion to sweep over the race, prostrating every other institution, and cutting down every other relation,' but leaving marriage Intact, with its essential ideas pure and vital, society would at once commence to reorganize Itself, and civilization would spring up again, fresh and vigorous as grass upon the new-mown fields. Why should women desire a different sphere of life from that noble one which God and nature gives them? Why should they desire; to come down from that bettor field of labor which is essentially and exclusively theirs by virtue of their womanhood, and crowd upon a lower plane, where they are competitors with all the race, and where their own highest and most distinctive powers and faculties must either , be not employed at all, or degraded to lower and less worthy ends ? Woman is the great educator of the race.' ITer sway over the human mind In its earliest and most formative stages is complete and almost exclusive. . The mother makes the man. Can any field of effort be nobler or more influential than this ? And may she not find her full occasion for the use of a disciplined mind, a cultivated taste, an educated judg ment, and the accomplishments of science and art ? It is preposterous, the idea that a woman who looks to marriage, and qualifies herself for it, must be " indifferent" to books and mental culture I The true remedy for the social evils of our day Is not for woman to think less about mar riage, but to think more wisely', not to pre pare less for it, but to prepare more benaibly. The popular ideas of this divinely constituted relation need to be elevated. Its Importance and lis sanctity need to be more thoroughly impressed upon tho public mind. The. educa tion of girls, instead of dealing so largely in frivolities and so-called "accomplishments," which are so soon laid aside and forgotten, should be directed to these more solid and en during acquisitions that will enable them to become good wives and faithlul mothers, the competent superintendents of their own households, and the best educators of their own children. Were this so, there would be fewer unhappy marriages than now ; a better race of mothers would arise, and the very fountains of our social life would be rendered more sweet and pure. Renewed RrntnUty. Yehtkrdat two accomplished bruisers from New York indulged in the delicato operation of pummel ing their mutual countenances into such a state of dlsflfluremcnt as to be totally unrecognizable by their most Intimate friends There is a good deal ot pith'and vim In stand ing up firmly for the purpose of being scienti fically knocked down. In certain circles It is a mark of great honor to sport a sangulnous nose and a couple of optics draped in mourn ing. The prize is a belt, with cabalistic sym bols Inscribed thereon. There are a certain classes of citizens who strongly desire to obtain that slneular reward ol merit. We may, per haps, be peculiar in our views, but we do not sympathize with these games of the athletes and gladiators. A bolt upon the bridge of the nose is Just the thing we do not aspire to. Perhaps we might, undor certain circum stances, be induced to put a belt around the world, if any one could be found foolish enough to defray tho expenses of' such an excursion ; but we cannot consent to have our natural beauty marred by contact with an Indurated 'bunch of fives," for atiy belt, however ornate, that ever was contended for. The champion of the Prize Ring, whoever he may be (and it Is always a question in dispute), is heartily welcome to the honor of his position. If we could secure one of the belts of Saturn, we should gladly avail ourselves of so favorable on opportunity, and exhibit it at some popular place of amusement for our own private emolument; but we!could have no possible use for the belt of the champion, unless it was to submit our interesting person to the attacks of all the "mauleys," whose mission it is to drive physical perfection into the heads of their opponents by brute force and hard knocks a Jpecies of philosophy that may bo emphatic, but scarcely commendable. These exhibitions of bestiality are becoming entirely too common in this country, and do not argue the increase of morality in -our midst. We do not believe that an ability to strike out from the shoulder, and put In the left skilfully, is evidence of an Increased Christian culture. History informs us that the Lystiigonian Cannibals could break the most tenacious rocks with a single blow, yet that brilliant effort never raised the race above the level of a mule, that, with an apparently easy movement of the hinder parts, can knock a Btable door into kindling wood. The theory that" physical development is the chief end of life, is one that will not stand inspection. The matador, who fearlessly encounters the mad bull in the ring, may be admired for his daring bravado, but certainly will not rank with Luther, Lxonidas, or Dr. Fane in personal courage. The missionaries who have braved the perils of sea and land, and the dangers from wild beasts and wilder men, have exhibited a more admirable strength of heart than all the prize fighters that have disgraced the world. The Benicla Boy is simply a fine specimen of a stalwart beast, very much after the style of the swine of obese tendencies who are fre quently exhibited at agricultural fairs, brave in ribbons, and only remarkable for their grossness and dissimilarity to humanity. But the surroundings of the prize-ring are even worse than the institution itself. Those of our readers who have attended these fear ful scenes will bear us witness that they are the very stamping-ground of the fiend. The company collected is composed of the worst characters that the purlieus of our large cities disgorge whenever anything of a peculiarly villanous nature is about to take place. The air is redolent with the heaven-daring dialect of the damned, belched from both male and female lips. The whole system is one that deserves the sternest reprobation from all good men, and especially of all in authority. By proper measures these disgraceful scenes can be discountenanced so as to make them entirely odious in the eyes of the people; and it should be done. ' SPECIAL NOTICES.
