RAYVILLE.

Probably no town in North Louisi-
ana has made more advancement in
the last three years than Rayville.
This progress is very marked. Three
years ago there were only three or
four business houses--it bad no look
of thriftiness or order about 1.-THE
revolver seemed to be the universal
arbiter of disputes. Now all is chang
ed. The business houses are numcr-
ous--cverything is going ahead in
spirit of harmonious progress. The
sound of the church-going bell has
taken the place of the click Of the re-
volver, and justice is administered by
an impartial judiciary. An able Bar,
skillful physicians, several earnest
clcrgymen, efficient local officers aud
intelligent citizens have contributed
to bring about this happy change
The Masons, always the patrons OF
architecture and the promoters Of i'm
provement, aided by the liberality OF
the citizens generally. and especially
by the zeal of the ladies, have erected
and elegant building at a cost OF sew
eral thousand dollars-a Lodge room
above and a church below. Rayville
has an able local paper conducted by
Messrs. Mangham Il Baird. 1t is o
the eight-day hard-sbell-bouI bon-neve1
surrender type in politics, but honest
ly believes this doctrine and fearless
ly advocates it and has done much il
contributing to the general prospect.

WE MUST EDUCATE, AND WHY2
BY A LATE EMIdRANr FROM MISSISSIPPI

Among all subjects we have pre-
sented to our minds, the subject
of Education Except that of religion)
is the most interesting, and also the
most important to mankind.-It is
impossible for the mind of man to e1-
pand and develop itself in usefulness
without it. Every parent should re-
member that youth is the seed-time OF
life. and that their little children are
daily taking lessons under them
whether they be good or evil. The
training Of the child commences in the
cradle; and good mothers generally
have good children. l know a lady
iu Mississippi, who had three sons
She earnestly prayed to God that her
sons might grow up to be Ministers
of the Gospel, and she now has the
great blessing granted, for l have
heard two of them preach, and all
three are baptist preachers. These
are the fruits of early training. Will
not other mothers do likewise, and
train their little children up in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord.
DO not suffer them to use vulgar or
wicked words, nor use them yourself
in their presence, for they will learn
every word you speak and initiate ev-
cry example you set before them
We must educate or perish for the
want of knowledge, and there is no
excellence without great perseverance.
We must educate, aud why? Is it
that we may learn to use high sound
ing language, float in the high circle
of society, and spout eloquence. By
no means. my friends, are these the
objects to be attained. What then !?
Is it that we may climb the hill of
science, and there enroll our name
on the pillow of fame? If this be
your object, my friends, it will bene-
fit YOU no farther than the grave
We must educate, for on the intelli-
gence of our youths rests the future
prosperity, the happiness, tho gran.
deur and glory of our beloved country
We must educate in order that we
understand how to perform our duty
to our country, our Creator, our
selves, and the succeeding generation
We must educate that we may thor.
oughly understand the heaven bought
plan of salvation, which was purchas-
ed With the blood of our blessed Re
deemer. If these be not the objects
of all our efforts to get an education
they will all be in vain. If.:opines'
has not her seat and centre in thu
breast, we may be wise or rich o.
great, but never can be blest. Let III
educate that we may be happy ant
make others happy.

MAI. EDGAR SEYLE, Special Agent
of the Post Office Department, passed
through our town on last Monday
evenings train, en- route to Monroe,
we presume, to investigate the mail
Expectations on the North Louisiana
and Texas Rail Road. The Ouachi-
ia Telegraph, the first paper to dis
cover these depredations. has clearly
established the fact, to the satisfaction
of the public. that most extensive rob-
berries have been committed by some
agent or agents on this Road, and the
investigation, by Federal officials, in
the premises, has been progressing
slow indeed. The seeming indiffcr-
ence thus far manifested by the proper
authorities on this subject, is enough
TO arouse suspicion in the minds of the
people that the mail bags on this
route constituted part of the Credit
Mobiler stock in trade. But if Maj.
SEYLE proves true to the duties Of his
Office, the guilty parties may soon be
brought to justice, the skirts Of the in
nocent cleared, and this suspicion
wiped out. That the mails have been
robbed on this route, Maj. SEYLE has
himself acknowledged, in letters writ
ten by him to Mr.. b. b. Schuster, and
others, of Monroe, La. This fact be-
ing acknowledged by him, makes it
his sworn duty to search earnestly
and zealously, without fear or favor,
for the detection and conviction of the
robber or robbers, no matter in what
political party he or they may be
found. lie owes it to his own integ-
rity, as a duty to the letter writing
public, and, above all, does be owe it
to the innocent mail agents whose
characters are thus jeopardized, to fix
the guilt of this black deed where it
Of right belongs and bring the offend
ing parties under the penalty of the
law. Nous rerrons.
POSTSCRIPT.
The above article was written after
reading the statements of the Tete-
qraph. But since it has been put in
type we have received the Itelligen-
GER, containing full statement of the
facts, together with an abridgment of
Maj. SEYLE's report, with a request to
copy. We have not space for the en-
tire article, but, will here add, that,
after careful perusal of its contents,
we are satisfied that Maj. S. has per,
formed his duty well. He has been
assiduous. though silently, for sever
al months passed, in his search fol
mail depredators on this route, aud
after rigid investigation, furnishes
proof conclusive to show that the
guilt can not be fastened upon eithe1
of the route agents. The robbed let
tiers were evidently lost in the cracks
of dilapidated old car, and opened
by outside parties, who found then
after the old car had been laid aside
and q new one substituted in its stead
We now stand convinced that this il
q correct solution of the problem, ant
take pleasure in rendering unto tn
innocent their dues by simple state
