I'RoinBiLiiv of Marrvinq A table in sirted in a paper in the Assurance Magic fine, exhibits results of rather a startling character. In the first two quinqMcniv.al period, 20-25 ami 25-30, the probability ; of a widower marrying in a year is nearly 5 three times, as great as that of a bachelor. At 30 it is nearly fo'ir times as great ; and ; it increases, until at CO the chance of a ' widower marrying in a year is eleven times as great ns that of a bachelor. It is a little curious to remark trom this table liow confirmed either class becomes in it) condition of life how little liktly, after a few years, is a bachelor likely to break through his habits and a solitary condi tion ; and, on theotherband, how readily in proportion does a husband contract a second marriage who has been premature ly deprived ol Ins tirst vife. Alter the age. of .'!0 the probability of a bachelor marry ing in a year diminishes, in a most, rapid ratio. The probability at 35 is not more thuu half that at 30, and no irly the same, proportion exists between each quinquen nial period afterwards, Our bachelor friends may learn a very melancholy lei boh from the above starlline facts.

We doubt not, iu a little while, that Pres ident Loncoln will have for hisconstitu tional advi-ers only men who can appre ; hend that the Union it not dissolved, and . that the President will not violate the constitution because rebels and traitor ' have done so. Hut we proceed to give ; the proofs of editorial sentiment in Ken tucky. In addition to what we have already given from the Lonisville Journal, we find the following in the issue of December Cth "We this morning publish tho official report of Secretary Camerou. As respects tho question of slavery, the report contirms our worst nppre hensiers. And the moat grievous fuel of all is that ths report on this hoad can be regarded on ly as an expansion of what the Preside tit rays in tho same relation ." i We emphatically declare that the J.ou isville Journal is wrong with reference to , the President. Mr. Lincoln ought to be ' sustained by -every true patriot. We may well suspect the head of the heart of tiny man who tries to make the load of the Chief Executive heavier than it i. The eil'o.-t should bo to asi.-t in relieving him of all "dead weights ," wheth.-r con.dsl ing of demagogues or political heresies , We defy any man of reputation nnd sulli cient intelligence to say that the President has not throughout, ave 1 as the Presi dent nf tho whole country.

The Louisville Democrat is just as deci ded as the Louisville Journal. We give this extract : "It Is reported and blicvcd nil over tlio coun try, that he (Cameron) had countenanced and ap proved the arming of the negroes, and the Black Republican and Democratic papers have been discussing it for the last two weeks. We have extressed as strongly ns we could, our utter con demnation of the scheme. It has not even the excuse of aiding in quashing the rebellion ; but it is, in fact, more bortile to the Union, than a million ofJolT. Davis's in arms, and equipped from top to toe. It is suvuge and butcherly, and lik all savagory, tbe instinctive outbreak of cowardice. If Mr. Cameron fan relieve kimself of the sus picion, welt and good ; but. hi uujjht not to hold , the position in the Government which ho does jwhea he is suspected ofit.
