Tue Season of Lent.— The customary re gulations for the observance of Loot in the Catholic Churches have just been issued. — The season began on the 10th day of Febru ary, and continues for seven weeks, during which time all who have attained their twenty-lirst year, unless legitimately dis pensed, are bound to observe strictly the fast of Lent. But one meal a day. with a c»lln i lion, is allowed, except on Sundays, and the 1 use of meat is restricted to five days of the wqek, on four of which it can bo used but once each day. Those under twenty-one, or who labor hard, or who from weakness can not fast without great prejudice to their health, are not required to adhere to these rules ; but all others not specially exempted must fast as directed. The season is one -that is most strictly observed among the be lievers in tiie Catholic faith, and in some in stances among those belonging to other de ; nominations. Tjte IvAuv’t?

Me.iuk, the following passage occurs: “I have inst left the army, where I must roon retain. There nil your nhl comrades ure ro-.fnlisting, anxious to r< main in the nmiy until they hring this unnatural anil unholy war to ft termination n termination I which' shall he worthy ol the old tj;;fi, ami 1 nn.honor to the Government. Ami this must ; lie the re-establishment of the old Union in ita former glory, nnd flic acknowledgement of the Constitution from ono end ol this con tinent to (ho other.” In delivering the above little spceeli Gon Meadd committed tho unpardonable srn against tho administration ; and, our word for it—iuid wo desire ho rememhored ho will feel the power of the administra tion against-him before the first of April. 110 will bo removed from his command for 1 his temerity, in during to say that this war is to be waged fur “ the rc-establishment of the old Union,” and ” the acknowledgement of tho Constitution. 11 Vox using language similar to this the glorious McClellan was dismissed from his command, and the same fate awaits Meade, the hero of (jcKysburg. No man but adanatioal diaoniouial can carry favor with tho Administration. The '* re-cs tablishment of the old Union” is just what Lincoln and tho leaders uf Ins party are de termined shall not lake place. Let a man curse the Union, ami stigmatize the old hag as a “ flaunting lie,” and lie will he hud-follow with the puvrom-that-bo. But let him dare to sigh for the old Union as it was, and hi? official head will-drop from his shoulders. The freedom of four millions o! davt-s, mid j the confiscation of Southern estate*., appear , to bo the sole objects of the Jacobins rd pres ent ; and P Gen. MlauK is not well booked up if he (‘nils to see the concocted schemes of the administration. To-be-sure, the “ rc-cstab liahmcnt of the old Union’' was the popular cry when the rebellion first broke out. \\ ith these words for their motto, men of ail par ties, with scarcely a dissenting vu : c*. rushed ; to the rescue, (ns ihoy supposed.) of “ the 1 old Union.” Men and money, and aid and | comfort, worp tendered to the Administration (with almost reckless prodigality, and noigh b >r vied with neighbor in efforts to put down the rebels who’ had dared to tiro upon the •• old flag.” The fire of ; T0 burned in every breast, fur every man, (except the initiated leaders of the Abolition party,) then believed | that it way for the old Union and the old (lag that wc were contending. Suppose at that time the President had lifted the curtain and exposed Ids policy—for wo have no doubt his policy was theti marked out—how many men could behave got for his army ? How much money ? A child can answer the questions. Gen. Meade, then, in making a speech in favor of the old Unipn and the old Constitu tion, has secured for • himself the enmity of the Administration, and for this sin ho will bo removed from his command. Mark the prediction '. Already the little whiffets who feed on corruption, are barking at his heels *, they remember that lie has refused, time and again, to make an Abolition speech, and that no was the first to sign the subscription to purchase a magnificent present fur Hen, McClellan—an evidence that he is fond of “copper”—ami therefore not the man 1«» carry out the heliosis ol the potty tyrants who rule at V> juhington.

THE STATE INTEREST. Mr. Editor— lt will bo gratifyulg nows to every true and Penuaylvnninn to'loarn that Mr. M'GitATn, the State Treasurer of Pennsylvania, paid off (on the Ist the semi-annual interest of the debt of the State at the rnto’of fifty per cent, advance in cur rency, to make the payment equivalent to gold. That is to say, one dollar and fifty cents in currency was allowed in liquidation of each dollar of, interest. Thus tho’ crodit and plighted faith of our good old Common wealth will bo maintained, notwithstanding 1 the official recommendation of the Governor ' in his message, and tho action of his political 'friends, in attempting to take the first stop toward*) repudiating the honest obligations ot the State; for in fact the payment of tho in terest in currency would bo virtually paying but fifty cents on the dollar. , And we regret to believe that should such a policy bo ulti mately carried out, that confidence in our State securities will be materially weakened in the future. But for the controlling power of the Democratic party in the State Senate wo have great reason to believe theStato would to-day suffer the stigma of bad faith in tho payment of tho interest upon her in Peht oduesa in the depreciated currency country, which upon her five per cent, honor would amount or be equal to about two dol lars and fifty cents on the hundred dollars.-# The .payment of debts is not a political but a moral question, in which nil are equally in terested ; it therefore comes with a very bad grace from tho Governor of the State, who has always been prating so much about | “ good faith, integrity of character,’ &c., to , recommend to the representatives of tho peo ple to enact a law disregarding tho ■ plighted faith of the State, and pay the interest upon her indebtedness in tho depreciated currency (if (lie country. But a few months ago tho five per cent, bonds of tho State wore eagerly sought after at par to vihe hundred and one. and now, because of tho acknowledged bad faith of the Governor and bis party, and their efforts to depreciate those securities; we find them quoted nt ninety-five on Saturday last. Wo trust, however, the action of our worthy State Treasurer, who is a Democrat, and who has acted in good faith in paying tho State interest in what is equal to gold, that which the holders of those securities bad a right to expect, may, and wo trust will, place our State securities on a par with those of our neighboring States; and having ample means within ourselves to give them a position to which they arc justly entitled. Wo trust they may occupy that position until party in power—no bolter than repudialors—are hurled from (lie position they now occupy, and stigmatized us tho worst enemies ot our .State. ° ’ Benton. "jJVlio's Afraid —NobtfOy's Hurl.” Everybody will remember the paternity of the above expressions, the time wbon. and the circumstances under which they were ut tercd. The effect they were intended to pro duce upon the public mind was also well un derstood at the time by every one intelligent enough to comprehend the an btleties of Ab olitionism. The same shameful’ deceits aro practiced now the same parties, and to a great fxtent, wo are pained to say, with the same pernicious results. So blind, in times ol high excitement, uve the masses uf men to truth and their own moral and material in- lorests. Each of these memorable phrases, says the New York World, when uttered, reflected the feelings and elicited the warm approval of the Republican party. They prove that in the presidential canvass of 1800, and for some months afterward, there was no states manship in that party with forecast enough to form the faintest notion of coming events, fn our judgment, time W-ill show that these men aro as politically blind now, in ISO 4, as they were in the aulnmii ol 18G0, and the ensuing winter. But, for the present, we wish to call attention only to the instructive contrast between the light and cavalier man ner in which the Republican statesman scout ed the idea of possible danger, with the ac tual cunsocpienscs of tiie election ol Mr. Lin coln. AVhen Mr. Seward was scoffing at tho apprehensions of more prudent and sa gacious men, and jeeringly crying out, " Who's afraid t" what would his audience ■have said if the curlin of a near futurity could have been lifted, and tho danger dis closed to their view which has since justified those enormous calls for troops?

From tho recent report of the Secre tary of tho Navy, wo compile tho following statistics of.that branch of tho service; Total number of vessels in tho service, 588 Total tonnage, 403,000 Number of guns, w® Number of seamen, July Ist, 34,0 W Patriotism naturally enough exults in these exhibits, which so splendidly attest tho re sources of the dountry; hut they equally at test tho fearful magnitude of tho danger which bo enormous a strain puts upon the national energies. But do they not still more emphatically attest tho unatatesmanlikd blindness which so njisjudged tho tendency of events, and laughed fo'seora- the prcdic l tions of those who foresaw what was. coming ?

Total; ' $2,774,912,818 v All tbo loans included in this table have not yet boon raised and expended, but they are no more than sufficient to carry the war through the next fiscal year. But all the expenses of the war are by no moans inclu ded iu the expenditures of the Federal gov ernment. vlf we include the largo sums pa.d by the several States, and by municipal cor porations in. bounties, in tbo outfit of regi ments, for sanitary purposes, and for sup porting the families of soldiers absent on du ty, several hundred millions would be added to tbo enormous total. If wo farther include •tbo losses occasioned by tbo shock given to business in the first years of the war, the in jury done to our commerce by the rebel pri vateers, and the. weakly which would have boon employed as sol diers, thivflggrogato will swell to' a sum so formidable that tbo party that laughed and Isymprmiixed when their leaders so jauntily loxclainied, •• Who’s afraid ?” should at least : bo convinced that they wore then fallowing blind gjiides. But what reason is there for supposing that these loaders possess more /wisdom now ? Have the, famrtical passions and sectional bate which blinded their judg ment then abated anything of flldir violence by the progress of tho war ? "Nobody’s hurt.” ’i-'ho shallowness and levity which prompted this noted remark Were a shocking prelude to the bloody scones that were about to open under the direction of.the man who uttered it. The corpses that moulder beneath tho soil of a hundred battle fields; tho hundreds of thousands of brave follows who have perished in military hos pitals ; the luimirod anti twenty-four thou sand widows that-are now applicants for pen pensions, are a sad and terrible commentary on tliis heedless and heartless text. l)o such leaders deserve tho confidence of the coun try?
