The Mails.

We call upon our contemporaries all over
the State, says the Nashville Bonner, to
aid US in the effort to awaken an interest in
the public mind, with regard to opening the
mails in Tennessee. We are informed by
the specisl postal agent for this State, that
one of the reasons why the routes and off,
ces are not opened, is not because persons
cannot be found who can take the oath, but
because Of the small remuneration for car
rYing the mails, allowed by the Govern
ment. He also informs US that he has
in all cases instructed the sub-agents to al
low the most liberal construction of the re-
CURED oath of Office The law requires
that the applicant shall make oath that be
has not, with intent to aid therein, partiei-
| pated in the rebellion. It is the opinion
of the agent, that there is not district
throughout the State where some one or
more, citizens might not be found who could
come within the laws provision on this sub
iect. He also advises that where men can
! not be procured to act as post masters, that
women or girls of intelligent age, be re-
quested to undertake the duty and act as
post mistresses. A number of post mis-
tresses have already been appointed, and
the system acts like charm.
We are satisfied the Government and its
agents desire to give the people all posi-
bic mail facilities, but the people owe it to
themselves to make some effort to get their
post Offices and mail routes opened.
We regret the apathy which seems to
prevail amongst our friends through the
country in this respect. There never was a
time in our country's history when the peo-
pie were more in need Of light. We are
upon the eve of a most momentous crisis
in our political affairs, and the approaching
months of the Congressional session are
pregnant with results. The people are
literally blind folded in a field beset with
dangers, and it is in great part their owl
fault. We urge them to make one more
effort, and dozen efforts, until they gel
their mails.
