Education.

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress appropriating ten millions of
dollars, annually, for five years, to be
distributed pro- rata among the South
ern States for educational purposes.
Congressman Darrall of the Sd con-
gressienal district, when interviewed
upon the subject, expressed the opin-
ion that the bill would pass both houses
of congress as soon as the election
cases were disposed of. He gave as
his reasons for so believing, that it
was republican measure and would
be largely supported by that party. and
that the democratic members would
not oppose it for. fear of giving offense
of said fund he said that Louisiana
would receive at least $750,000 as her
portion. This with the State taxes in
support of public schools will certainly
place Louisiana on strong education
al basis, provided Tour legislature
should enact an efficient and liberal
school system of laws regulating popu-
lar education, and provided further we
have Boards of Parish School Directors
of enlightened views and unprejudiced
minds who will conduct the schools for
the greatest general good, both in the
establishment of said schools, in the
selection of teachers, and in being will
ing to pay a reasonable salary for the
services of competent and experienced
educators Then we may confident
ly expect to see Louisiana move rapid
ly forward in progressive and thorough
knowledge, aud align herself with her
sister States i'm educational facilities.
But another indispensable adjunct to
the above conditions, is the building
throughout the parishes wherever
there are enough children to form a
school school houses for
the convenience of the educable chill
dren. When this is done, schools
should be established in all such neigh
borhoods for at least six months in
each year, and none but competent
teachers should be placed 10 charge of
them, even though they should not be
higher than thegprimary grade. 1t is
certainly full time for Louisiana to be
making stride forward In this mo-
msntous question.

Temperance Lec ture. !


On last Sunday night the Rev. I. j..
Hough delivered very able and in
structive lecture, at the courthouse,
on the subject of total abstinence from
the use of alcoholic or spirituous Ii
quers. From the very outset, Mr..
Hough treated the subject with a se-
riousness and thorouglness confmensu-
rate to the grave and vital issues in
volved in the theme. He indulged in
no light anecdotes or wordy cartoons
to ridicnle the unfortunate habit of
intemperance, as is usual with most OF
the professional lecturers on this sub
iect, but addressed himself to it's sa-
lient points with all Of the dignity and
decorum of diction and earnestness
that lie would have employed in ser
mon upon any other vice condemned
in the bible. He drew picture of the
fearful spread of intemperance in the
United States, and by carefully conf
piled statistics exhibited the startling
records of crime, misery, ruin and
death, which yearly eiflanate from the
Indulgence in ardent spirits, Such a
dark and gloomy record it would seem
should check any person N u career OF
intemperance, without its being repeat
cd 10 often from the rostrum, the pul-
nit. or tho columns of the press.
Every state, city, town, nay, every
neighborhood, furnish examples to
swell the miserable calendar made mp
! from the victims of this dangerous,
insidious, and deadly enemy. Mr..
Hough traced the groWeh of the habit
back to the first glass of wine, and
then delineated its gradual progress
until it culminated into a fixed vice Of
habitual drunkenness. He said that IN
great many cases the beginning q
intemperanee could be traced to the
/ first glass Of wine placed to the lips o.
| tile young men BY the young ladies a.
their parties and social gatherings
I He adjured the young ladies OF Opelou'
sas to do away with this perileus Gus
! tom, and not only to exclude wine from
their entertainments, but TO refuse the
escort and society of all young meE
WHO freauented coffee houses and in
I dulged iu drinking spirituous liquors
IN any manner or degree. he sait
that their influence, and condemnation
Of the vice Of drinking, would DO more
| to save our young man from drunken
ness than all other Influences cembin
ed. a large and attentive audience 2
ladies and gentlemen listened to th'
eloquent words Of warning and AZ
monition from Mr. Hough, which w
trust will be the means Of accomplish
ing much good iii our town.

The Farmers ands the Literary

A recent issue of the " american Ag-
riculturist contains some insinuations
rejecting upon the character of the
Useful knowledge Publishing Compa
ny, of New York. They are insinua
tions only, no direct allegations being
made. Their only foundation is malice
and fear, on the part of the Agricul-
turist publishers The average cost
of books published by the Useful
knowledge Publishing Company, in
proportion to their real value, is less
than one fifth of the average cost of
the agricultural books published by
the Orange Judd Co. Within less than
three years the &C Literary Revolution" :"
gave the American people over one
million dollars worth of the choicest
books the country has ever seen more
/ in bulk and in real value than Judd
has given them in third of a century,
and more than lie would have given
them for five million dollars. No class

s. war Incident.
IN. O. States.l


Of the many Incidents connected
with the great battle of Gettysburg,
there is not one that was more solemn
and impressive than the wounding and
death of Capt. Cormier, of the Sixth
Louisiana Regiment, He was u young
man, (not 20 years of age) of rare pull
chritude of face and perfection of form.
At the charge ON Cemetery Hight, on
the evening of the second of July, he
led his company with conspicuous cour
age and gallantry but before he had
reached tho crest, a cruel ball struck
him in the stomach and gave him d
r4inful and mortal wound. Terderly
he was carried to barn in the rear of
tile town in which had been establish
ed the field hospital of the 1st Louisi-
ana (HaysD brigade. On the following
morning several females, who lived in
the vicinity, - farmers wives and
daughters-attraeted by curiosity and
impelled by that sentiment of sympa-
thy which is the brightest jewel IN the
crown of woman's virtues, paid visit
to this impromptu hospital, and kindly
offered their tender minstrations to
the poor wounded, suffering men (ene-
mics though they were), confined there
in. Struck with tire youthful appear.

and blanched face of Corpier, they
grouped around him. and proffered
their sweetest sympathies and kindest
offices. Young Cormier, though snf,
feriug greatly, gracionsly and CRATE
fully thanked them for their kindness
told them that his wound was morta
one-that he had but few hours tt
live, and asked them to come a little
later in the day and see him die. II
compliance with his request. they re-
visited him at noon, when the candle
of the young fellows life was flicker

However, Cormier summoned
strength enough to thank them for theil
attention; to tell them that he had ;
