Timely notice will prefient ninch'eoqusion. The COnr:UlEtirt of the Armtes—liintiportaiit Changes. We i,nbliah iriapdibint• military l order,•dated on .Saturdaylast, : gthe WarliepartMent. The Main provisioirtrfAhe order, and . the only one which is of national scope, and importance, is that whichrelieVes . Gen.-VAXJ.IE6K from the position . of General in. -Chief of the Army, and assigns Lieut.-Gen- GRANT to the ‘‘command of the 'Armies of the United States." We presunte this order'con_ fers - upon .the new Lieutenant-General ple nary powers as acting Chief of the National forces, subject .of Course, to the approval of . the President If so it be, we are confident that it will give great and general satisfaction throughout the country. As a corollary "suppoSe, to this order, changes in , the command of :;one, and in the , organization of the , other, of our.two greater mies have been made or are in progress. The Army of the Potomac, we learn unofficially, is being reorganized into three corps, which shall be commanded respectively by Gens. Warren, Sedgwick and Hancock. The late command of Lieut. Gen. Grant, designated as the "Military Division of the Mississippi and the armies therein," has been assigned to Gen. Sherman, (W. T.) and it has been en larg i a by the addition of Arkansas to . its for . mei .. limits, Still greaier unity of action would be seemed were it extended southward to the Gulf of Mexico. The country will look anxiously for speedy and happy results as the consequenee of these fundamental changes in command. Desertions from.the A day never passes that the telegraph does get inform us of desertions - from the rebel itkray, while not a word is said about deser tions from ` our own ranks. We doubt whether 'Se rebel desertions amount in the aggregate to half the number of those from the Federal army. According to the official reports, de sertions from our army, previous to April, 1862, amounted to 78,454, and the aggregate since the war broke out down to .the latest report, is 12'7,157, au average of .nearly 4,000 per nionth.—Tory 00gan. This is a specimen paragraph of copperhead meanness; lying, and sly sympathy for trea son. It is intended to assure the rebels, that the desertions from our armies far. exceed those from the traitor hordes; by which means the rebels are to be encouraged to fight on, as, eventually, if the hopes of those who control the Tory Organ are realized, there will be no soldiers left to defend the flag, the honor, or the authority of the Government.. If it is really true, that desertions are so numerous from the armies, the deserters are those who follow the teachings of the Tory Orgy, and hence must be copperheads. Those who•lus.e the Government and stand by the policy of , the Administration to crash rebellion, do not nor will not desert. - - • - ' —But the real fact is, that just such para graphs as the above are fabricated for effect only upon the rebel armies. We do not be lieve that desertions average Oar' thousand, per month—we do not,believe that the itg,gre-' gate is what is .stated, _simply because those who control the Tory Organ are so given to lying in eider to injure the Provernment, that no reliance caicbe placed in a single word which appears in its ecannnas *heie the au thorities are interested. • , "A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DII.IITS."-.13y un act of the rebel Congress one-third of Mr. Memminger's promiseito pay will be "repudi ated" on the Ist of April. It is hoped by.this expedient that the reniainder of the' elm:6110y will depreciate in valnein the same 'ratio of that repudiated_ But it must_ be apparent that this is a desperate expedient, for what assurance will the. people have that another third will not be repudiated a few months hence ? The effect, therefore, will be to de preciate the value of-rebel currency .by still further Undermining confidence in either :the ability or disposition f of.t,he rebel Govern ment to redeem it at - last; rather-=than other wise. This act is another instance of the bad faith which has characterized the ,course of the rebel leaders towards their Own people no less than towards the Government. With this casebefore them . , the takers of the rebel cot ton loan in England, who were so buoyant a few months ago, are beginning to see their anticipated profits vanithing in'thin air, and but a few months wilLiranspire before "eon ,federate stocks" will be about as valuable as shares in the "South Sea Dibble." Yet in the face of this striking s instance of bad faith, the rebels have the sublime impudence to talk of "Northern Bankruptcy." Tan Copperheads, having discovered a cop pery female orator in the person of a third rate theatre girl, Emma Webb, have suddenly modified their views of petticoat speechmak ifig, The young woman was trotted out upon the stump in New York last week. with great eolat awl. enthusiasm, Sam.

It-is the misfortuni:of rural distriets and of midi ' , villages that there can be rigigrading of the sehools, but that the children= of sill ages must be thrown -togetheronalting:theL labor of the teacher far more oneroti arid allowing but little of his time and ritteritien to be given'to any one portion of his pupils. The same difficulty _is encountered in select schools where pupils of all ages are received. Hipost,the framers of our excellent common ' school - lawy avrare Onto adviitilii - fa bi de • . . rived from a Dion:nigh grs4ing of the schools, where the population was kfliciently ntuntr ausiiii•airtiffi-oflit; gladly ittailest _themselves of the opportunity of establishing- a system which should give the eidlUen of our larger. towns and cities the fall :benefit. •of such an arrangement. And they, therefore, made it obligatory upon the-various: school boards of towns and cities to act In concert, as a board of controllers, for this reason, among others,' that they might so divide and arrange' the,' whole mass of - the youth:fel population placedi, under their care, as to secure, to the greatest possible extent,' the above4neritioned advan, , tages. I quote froth the deciflions of the - School Department, as follows, Number 338' ; :_ "The linty of grsdirig the Schools is as obliga tory upon directoribi. distiints Adinittbig of this arrangement as it is to establish them in sufficient. numbers to educate all, of proper age, who may apply," Anifium - ber 333: "lan towns and densely populated districts, the grading of thincheals not only secures the better and more speedy nisituctioii of the pu pils, and, if properly airanged, decreasis the expenses-of the district in proportion to the amount of instruction imparted, but it ele vates the common school plan oVeducation, by enabling it to impart all the instruction the pupil requires, till of 'sufficient age to leave home in pursuit of higher ;attainments. Ungraded common schools are imperfect common schools ; and should only be tole rated while the circumstances of the district tenaer gradiejimpesSible:" -- Now, what has been hitherto-, done in our city, to carry out these admirable provisions? Up to this.clay, Market 'street cats our city in twain, and we are treated as t*o districts, in these respects, instead of one; as the law pro vides. And even in the two 'distriets, thnsly ing side by side, the system followed. hereto-, fore has deserved the name of cramming rather. than of grading the schools. Primary schools overflow, and the-finiplteitige is crammed into the room where children of a somewhat larger growth are congregated, and so the processes' repeated until the so-called high school is reached, which is thus:itifuidated and sunk. Instead of increasing the number of primary schools and,poinotillg thOuPils accordinq to merit, preserving cliatuict grades, and ending with one mate and one feritaie high school for the whole city, as is cont4mplated by the law, and as is done in. OftieltOwns and cities where the system is fairly tried, we have thus far been acting,oq mach_aa if wfi wire two towns instead of otiereity, 4 and As if=tlie classification of the pupils were to be regulated by the ca pacity of the buildings, rather than the build ings to be-adapted to, the schools., - -A CHRISTIAN r.AIIENT.

His health seems to be excellent, and the re ports in regard to his resigning are said to be without foundation. An accident occurred to the mail train on the Orange and Alexandria railroad, this even ing, a few miles north of Brandy Station, caused by the giving way of a brake on a freight car, which threw the car from the track, completely demolishing one and badly damaging others. There were so*lierses in the car whichwas destroyed, but they escaped with slight bruis es. The mail car was thrown down a slight embankment,making a complete summersault, and throwing the mail carriers and others in the car into a pile from the front to the back part. They fell fortunately on a large pile of newspapers and mail bags, which saved them from serious iry. Some of them bad thought of jnmp ihg from the cars, but fortu nately changed their minds, as if they had done so some of them would surely have been. killed. As it was they escaped with slight bruises. Several soldiers were more or less injured, among whom wore S. J. Soughtalin, 20th New York, one of the guard on the train, who was badly wounded in the hand; James W. Marsh, slightly; J. G. Cramp, slightly; Ser geant Reed, slightly; John Mathews, slightly, all of the 3d Indiana cavalry, and W. Ruhm, 4th New York cavalry, severely; also Little . - field, in the hand. A negro, . named Dennis Pare, belonging to the Commissary Depart ment, was stiinding on a platform, it is said, and falling between the' cars was instantly killed, his head being severed from his body and otherwise horribly mutilated. A number of others received slight injuries; but the above arc all who require medical aid.
