weakened Ithereby, and - the reverse is also! true.. It is undoubtedly true that human! powers are stronger. separately when all! an prope i rly disciplined. Hence that system of education which gradually and , simultanedusly develop; all the p o wers of tilt being, is, without doubt, the best system. Yet how rarely do we find men. even among these called educated, who are symmetriCally disciplined. In onr, circuses there are generally found mess powerful pbysically,but wrecks latorally. ittlany of our L iterary . and Sci entific colleges should either change their system delineation, or have a free hos pital in connection with them. Some of our Thaolngical seminaries furnish men well educated mentally and morally, but so deficient socially that they do but little good al pastors, or are so broken down physically, that at best the, are unsuc cessful preachers. There are two causes why christianity has not aCcomplished much more good. One is that there has niways been such a eontrast between its teachings and the lives of mapr professing it. The other reason is, that so large apart of those practicing its principles, have been, in many respects, inferior to the people of Ithe world. Christianity can never completely ful• till its glCrious:mizision until christians 'shall be able to withstand the evil bath] erases of the world, and shall possess all that the worid has of real excellence, such true refinement, correct taste, a knowl edge of hutaau nature, the laws of health, 'mental diicipline,and many other worthy acquisitions. ileoce4 of all men, a christian should be most liberally educated. Paul, the great Apostle to the Gentiles, had sym metrical 'culture. He was able to work with his ha nds. 'and to travel on foot. Whether at lib( r y or in prison; among friends or enemies; at home or abroad; be was equal to every emergency. He was heroin when heroism was demanded, and yet he Was submissive when submis sion was necessary. He was.social when sociabilitY was reqnired, and eloquent when the circumstances called for elo quence. !Ile was a great reasoner, and a masterly writer, as his letters to the Churches show. Ile was all things to all men, tinit he might thereby save some men. He understood and could declare the True, the Beautiful, and the Good, as he did before Felix and ,Agrippa, and to the Athenians: on Mar's Hill. In modern times George Washington presents perhaps, the noblest specimen of well-balanced powers. Men who are disproportionally educated Are usually fanatical in all their opinions, and are especially contracted and into!. erant in their political and religious views When parents and teachers shall have more liberal views of education, and un ilerstand better the natural laws of devel <Tenni, hen 'will they be much more nearly prepared to discharge their duties to the young: The principal condition of nnimal'irowth is exercise. All nature inrices the action of a child's senses. Innumerable sounds reach his ear, au in finite variety of objects meets his eye and suggests examination. The food required to sustain life is only obtained after. put ting forth mental and physical efforts. Action always precedes progress: There can be net self-advancement without pre !ions self-exertiou. • Every valuable ac einisitiont costs a struggle—every crown a race. How Many children, at home and at school, have been too closely confined Everybody, in order to enjoy good health. must have plenty of pure air, sunshine; 'Wholesome food, proper exercise and rec reation. Children nat .- only require theie things, but they , must have play, and fun, and time to rest. There] is a fearful account against many parents and teachers for repressing. and auhduing in children the disposition to be cheerful; playful and happy. How many parents !think that a child is never too tired tol work when he has a deSire to play, and thus, by over-taxing his pow ers, his growth is impeded, his finer feel ings stupefied and his constitution weak ened. How many try to make men and women of children prematurely. A wan, of course, should bd manly, a woman womanly, and is.there any' reason why a child should not be childish ? On the • other band many parents and teachers are too indulgent, and do for children what they should do for themselves, there ' by making them indolent and dependent Ambition, rightly directed, is a good thing. llt is that insatiable longing after 'superiority in the higher life. It is that noble itdpulse which 'makes good re'solu. tions, and that powerful motive force which carries 'them out. Its motto is "Excelelor V It is the mighty engine I which propels the great train of human 'progreesland improvement. It wages war against every kind of indolence, and comes iin dived opposition fo that onntentment which is characteristic of an aimless life. The mi l e reason why many people aceona 'plish so, little for themselves, and for others,. is beeaus4 they are contented with existence only. Th e. reason why some men. achieve so much,is because they arel ,not satisfied with their situation, if it can ilia-bettered, and have suffieleit ambition tio.riiie•above mediocrity. Laudable am-I ibitibtr in; a child or man sheuld therefore Jo ever be suppressed; but always encour aged. For it is that noble aspiration which leads its possessor to assume respon sibilitieslas duties, and to per2brm them! faithfully; to move to the front in life's struggled; and it induces him to improve the Present in preparing for the Great' Hereafter. /18130 i is a,good thing if deserved. It. I ); is not a meteor, as many suppose. i It is a continuous blaze yii.iich incites many to deeds of renown. I t ti.s long as there is, such a broad disti4tion between tioble and ignoble actions, llonor will be a praise worthy acquisition.ll He who builds a large house or ship, linatikes ,an important discovery, by his oWn efforts invents a valuable machine, Writes a good book, educates himself liberal!y, commands an army successfully in battle for his - cotintry, or is the leader of a tieforrnation—'sin ,a word, any one who ,dons his duty faith fully merits honor. lAn eagerness to gain honor by deserving it, islritie of the noblest, desires of the youtlifuliheart. When this desire Is fpund,it should be cherished; but when mit found, it should be inculcated, by evers teacher of the young. It is'a motive that leads to great improvement. Men who; perform noble deeds will be honored.l Such men as Lntbur, Franklin and IW.ashington, will always be honored. l'ltei Union soldier, in ,the late Rebellion, whp left his home with its ten thousand ed e fl+rments, parted from hifs dearest friend , joined the ranks of his fellow patriots, Offered the many hardships incident to War!, marched into battle, and foright bravfly for his country —whether he :livedor I 1 died—deserves honor. Who would nt :prize the` honor due to Sherman, -Grant and our late President, Abraham !Lincoln ? - True honor is such a worthy attainment, that parents and teachers shotild use means to produce is the hearts! o' the young a yearning after it. 1 t The character of our Government to • quires that ALL the pelop i le - living under it shall be liberally ed*cated in order to provide for its owd succe l sful operations. There never has been time when this demand was so great a 4is now. Many other interests are attc ded to at the ne glect of this great duty. 1, Look at our own St. te, so finely situ ated, so fertile, so vastly rich in minerals and oil—extending between the great and productive West, rind the three 'larg est cities on the continent—thrpugh 'which thereby, an immense einigration,and transportation must *Ss—and yod will see that its agricultural, oil, mineral, and tuauhfacturing interests are each' very great. But when we lake into consider ation that physical we filth can never equal mental acquisitions find moral worth, intellectual progress aid christianity, we tied that hereducationaliaterestisgre.ater than any other—yes,! greater 'than all ethers united! i Here, as elsewhere,lthis great work of education is the duty of parents and teachers. The natural relation exisiing 1 batween the parent r e nd child demands that the former shall ((do all that he can reasonably, to benefitl the latter. Fur nishing' a child with hooks, sending him to s chool; paying for his• TirsTiuction and co-operatingjwith his !teacher, is indeed doing a great deal, But much more is required of the paronti.' It is his duty to give him -flood advied; to teach him by c i his OWN example to bc obedient to proper authority, t be indds'trious, 4ex:operate, cheerful, honest, generous,and ambitious to excel others only in; well doing: May all parents do their duty much more effic iently in these respecie. s Every child .shouldihe earlyi l eauglit that lie has a body to be devnloped and strength- cried, a mind to be eXpauded and disci.l plined, and above all that he has an immortal soul, either to be finally lost, or, eternally saved. llel should be taught that his body is very valuable, because it is the temporary homy of . his mind, and !aoul, that whatever alMses one injures all, that he is responsible Ito his Creator who is infinite in mercy, gOodness and justice. Ile should be taught to; exercise his own conscience,, that ho rally be able to judge correctly.between rightl and wrong, that there is an inseperablelconnection between doing' right and being happy even in this life, that he must die, and is liable to do so at any time,) that there is a home above —a plane of perfect and everlasting hap piness, made only forithem who love and obey God here below.!, While he should not be required to read the Bible too young,—before ho can:comprehend enough of it to make it iutereseing, to him—he should he taught to revere it as'the Book of God, Fontaining , the truth of truths, as the only uneriing l moral compass to the lost sinner, pointing always from earth to (leaven. 0, ;that) every parent were a christiari! = A teacher's:duties are no less ; for he is tetuporarily a substitute for the parent, antihence, whenever ho begins to • teach he virtually, , astirues the great respon sibilities of the parent.! How few teach ers realize thiS I I It is a greatithing to be a faithful teacher: His vocation is such that ho especylylrequires coraprobensivc culture. The physician spends a year or two in studyiand in attending Medical Lectures, tha he may und,irstand the human organiation, and curette diseases. The laiyer spends abtiut the, same time in preparing hihroolf,for the legal profes sion. He mostly with the selfish propensities, the will, and the *reason 'of men. The cl6'gyman hard devotes three ot. four Years to hard study in order to qualify himself for his great and noble mission., lie deals chiefly with man's intellectital n:tlid, moral nature. But the teacher is ea led upon to deal with every part of_human Mature. He is not required to cure diseans, but it is his duty to; teach his pupils hovf to escape them. IV is not expected of him to settle personal daft= cultuas aruc-ng men, but it is his ditty to instruct his pupils hoW to prevent them. He is not Mader special obligation. to preach the Gpepel to men, butit is his • I imperative dn;ty .teakels thel great principles of Christianity, sod to impress upon them—• "ilow empty Lem Ming, and bow vain is Art, lit4s they wend the life,and guide the heart!', It is, (however;! his peculiar province-- a duty froai which he cannot escape:if he would be a-faithful teacher—to see that the bodies of his r .pupils are duly derel oped and strengthened ; that their social abilities are rightly directed ; that their intellectual powers and mental faculties are expanded and disciplined—or in other words, that the whole leiug is'symetri call), cultured. When we thiok of these duties, well may‘we ask, "who' is sufficient for these things ?"—no finite teacher is,' without divine help from; the Great Teacher. 0, that all teachers were ohristians I Then they could, meekly but confidently, ask of Him who is the 'source of all wisdom, for that wisdom whiCh would enable them to be sufficient for these things. We have already spoken briefly of the character of our Government. A further examination of its system shows that it is composed of three distinct, yet harmoni ous departments; the legislative, jadici ary,-, and executive. Each of these de partments requ4es honest and efficient officers. Selfish politicians, fanatics, ignorant legislat i on, or weak executives never enact and enforce laws promotive of personal safety', and conducive to public prosperity. Only those who are intelli gent, and virtuous too, can ever make and execute such laws. But how few are qualified to select the right man for the right place, andj bow rarely is that right man to be found. Now tbe'e things ought not to be so, and would not, if the young in every fam ily, and in every school were taught, as they should be, Itbe principles of our gov ernment, its history, its worth at home,, and its glory abroad. • No wonder that it is so valuable in its character; and that it has a world-wide reputation as btiag•— ? "The land of the free and the home of the brave" Think of its blesSings ! Think of its cost! Think of the immense sacrifice of treasure and blood, which have made and preserved it ! Viink of it as as it really is now— thank Gcd I FREE Government ! It has always been worth perserving ; but 'now the deareSt interests of mankind everywhere derciand its preservation. • Thousands of the oppressed in other lauds; thousands of those once enslaved, but now free, in our own land ; the count less tears of those bereft of most dearly loved ones who bravely fought and glori ously died in its defense; and four hun dred thousand graves of patriots and chieftains plead—oh, how eloquently they plead, for its preservation ! A.nd!yet it cannot be preserved without , the i moSt liberal and virtuous education; .thei, highest possible symetrical culture of the whole people, in whose hands is placed," its destiny. In conclusion, I would ask all, but parent 4 and teachers especially,to consider, carofully,the very comprehensive language of Paul in his Epistle to the Philipians, by which he evidently intended to impress upon them the duty of attaining all that is embodied in complete manhood. The words of him, who was a model of what he,wished other men tobecome, hre these : "Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever l things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are piire,'whatever thingsr.relov'ely, what. ever things arc of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, chink on these things." The Postmaster General's Report. We are indebted to the Postmaster General for a copy of his annual report, of which we give the following extract : The total receipts of the Department for the year ending June 30th, 1865, were 514,556,153 70, and the expendi tures $13,694,728 28, leaving a surplus of 8861,430 42. The ratio of increase of revenue was 17 per cent., and of ex penditures S per cent. as compared with the previous year. The estimated ex penditures for the year ending June 30th, 1866 are 818,678,600, and the estimated revenue $17,470,543, leaving a deficit of $1,207,457. No appropriation; will be re quired to meet this defect, as there is a ballance noW on hand of $2,100,000. Special appropriations, however, are asked for the California and Brazil mail service. The! number of postage stamps issued during the year, was 337,419,455, repre senting $124099,787 0 ; stamped cove'. opes; 25,040, 425,reprssenting 6724,135- 00; stamped wrappers, 1,165,750, repre saniing 823,315 00; making in all $12,- 847,1437 50. The mail service in opera tion on 30th of June 1865,empraced 5,- 612 routes. of the aggregate length of 142,340 miles, costing in the aggregate $6,2.0,834 1 , (exclusive of compensation to route and other agents. amounting to $556,602 7fi. The' number of routes ordered into op eratiOn in ,States lately ip rebellion, is 241 their. length 18,640 k miles; and comnensaticin $721,949; a reduction,com pared with former cost of service in those States, of 8381,109 per. annum. The aggregate postages, sea,inland and foreign upon the correspondence exchanged with loreigo c0un0ie5,g1,819,927 56; of which omouot $1,449,530 79 accrued on the mils exchanged with Great Britain France Prussia, Bremen, Hamburg. and 13egium $275,197 06! on the mails exchanged with the 13ritish North American Provinces; and $95,200 64 on the mails transmitted' to and from• the West Indies, Central and South America. The argument in sup port of heavy subsides as necessary to on. able merlon line, to eompetemewfully with tritish steamers loses muck of• its force when it is remembered that the postage earnings of the British contract packets on the mails which they are re tained by the government and form a part of the revenues of the Britiah poStoffice. The number of dead letters receivod, examined, and dispesed of was 4,368,087 an increase of 859,262 over the previous year. The number containing moaey,and remailed to owners, was 42,154, with en closures amounting to $244,873 97.

The number containing sums less than one dollar 16,709, amounting to $4,- 647 23 of which 12,695, containing $3,- 577 62, were delivered to the writers.— The number of registered letters and pack , ages was 3,966. The number of letters containing checks bills of exchange, deeds,and other papers of valve was 15,304, with a nominal value of $3.329,888, of, which 13,746, contain. ing $3,246,149.

Of these 41,600 were delivered, and 28,302 remain for disposal, or being worthless, have been destroyed. The number of valuable letters sent out. was 107,979 ; an increase of 38,792 over the previous year. There were returned to public offices, including franked letters, 26,677. The number containing stamps and articles of small value was 8,289; and of unpaid and misdirected letters 166,215. The number of ordinary dead letters returned to the writers was 1,188,599, and the number not delivered was 297,- 304. The number of foreign letters re turned was 167,449, and the number re ceived back from foreign countries 88,- 361. She total number conveyed in the mails during 1865 is estimated at 467,- 591,600. Of these 4,368,087 were retun ed to the dead letter office, including 566,057 army letters.

Oar Washington Correspondence. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 1865. There most undoubtedly has been a generally diffused, and welt defined maxi ety growing deeper and more intense as the time approached when the 39th Con gress was to assemble. That such a feeling should exist was no more than natural; assembling, as it does, at a most critical period of our Na tional history, the present Congress finds itself under responsibilities second only to those assumed by the fearless spirits of '76, when by Declaration Ithey severed their connection with the„mother country. Through the darkness comes the clear notes of Mr. Stevens' voice, announcing a resolution to refer, without debate, to a joint committee of fifteen, that difficult problem of reconstruction, the. re.adinis slim of members elect from the late rebel lious States. That committee, if raised, will be cho sen from among the wisest and best of our statesmen ; and will probably deal with our Southern chrysalis in such a manner that it shall come fortn a creature of light and beauty, and not a hairy worm. This resolution, if adopted be the Sen ate, as it has been by the House, will prevent, or direct into other channels, an endless amount of "fierce debate." Mew. bars who desire to indulge in exciting discussion, to intensify the existing ex citement, stir up strife between the sec tions, and "fire anew the Southern heart," will be compelled to wait until there is a "motion , before the House." As the committee have leave to "report by bill or otherwise, at any time," it will probably bring forth a carefully prepared, well con sidered plan of restoration, that will need very little discussion, meet the wants of the country and the approbation of all right minded men. The effect will be to avoid' the undue excitement attendant upon public debate, to transfer this vital topic to the privacy of the Committee room, there to be calmly, dispassionately considered. The temper of Congress toward these lately in rebellion, judging by the indica tions of the past few days, is lenient but firm. There is no disposition to keep gentlemen "out in the cold," but "sub stantial' guarantees" will bo required. To admit those who 'could not or would not take the test oath, would be wOrie than useless. Such men would have no influence in Congress, or with the Ad ministartion, and would be a positive dam age to those constituencies ' whose . many wants, require that they should be repre sented by the ablest and beat men they have. Congrestile there. The terms of admissien are perfectly plain. Those who will come up to the "rack" may do so; but the rack wilt not be removed to them The messaue of the President is, in all respects an Ale State paper, and worthy of its distinguished author.; It is earnest and manly io its tone, and grapples with the difficult questions withi which it has to do, with characteristic fearlessness. In the whole docUment there is, in our judg ment, one single weak point, and that is what is 'said "on the propriety of making freedmen electors by proclamation of the ExecutiVe." I 'quote from the message. "Moreo4er a concesssion of the elective franchise to the freedmen by act of the Presidetit of the United States taunt have been exioodeti to all , colored wee arbor. ever found, and eo must have established a change of suffrage in the Northern, Middle and Western States, not less than in the Southeto and Southwestern." This is evidently uneetiable ground. The Emancipation aat was extended only to the States ia Rebellion. I No loyal man, now, doubts the propriety of that act. Then where can be the 'impropriety of extending with the freedom thus conferred, its appropriate and necessary safe-guard and weapon--the ballot. In other respects it will stand the test of the closest exam ination. An abler document has not appeared for years. It is well written and toward the close it is eloquent. It needs only to be carefully read to be ap preciated. The reports of the various Cabinet Ministers we propose to notice briefly at a future day. The Rev. Mr. Boynton preaches a Thanksgiving discourse at the Capitol to day; and the friends of the late Theodora Parker are rejoicing to know that that eloquent divine is to favor us with a lec ture this evening at Seaton Hall—when his spirit will address the audience thro' Mrs. Cora L. V. Scott, a well 'known trance medium. THE RURAL AMERICAN.
