All unite in saying that this meeting is the
most complete proof of the growing interest
taken in the cause of education that can be

TROUBLE IN TIE FTH REGMENT-We learn
by private letter from Jefferson Barracks
that when the 9TH regiment received their
arms they were found to be muskcts instead
Of rifles, and not man would touch them.
They declared that they must have rifles or
nothing Brig. Gen. Curtis visited them and
promised to do what he could to procure rifles
for them. The 9TH regiment is now stationed
at Rolla, Missouri, and we presume have been
provided with some kind of arms ere this
TO MAIL SUBscRlBERs.-Complai arc
frequently made by our daily subscribers sup
Piled by mail of the irregularity of their
papers. On Flilay last the entire package
for Columbus City failed to reach that Office,
although we mailed it and are sure it left this
office. The fault is probably with the 70, tie
agents, by whom mail matter is often missent.
We hope they will exercise more care in
future.
THE New POSTAGE SrAMPs-The old con-
tract, under which our postage stamps were
made by Toppan, Carpenter Co., Philadel-
phia, having expired, the new one has been
awarded to the National Bank Note Company
of New York, who have prepared new and
costly dies for all the different denominations,
differing somewhat from the old styles. The
stamps present a very much improved appear
ance in point of color The stamps are now
being distributed among postmasters. 1t is
calculated that during the coming year from
August LIST, 1861. about 200,000,0 900 stamps
will be issued. The new stamps are uniform
in design, having the value designated in fig
{ ures on each of the upper corners, and the

the IT. S. postage, one cent and so on up
