Newspaper Law.—As there is certain de
finite laws in relation to the rights of publishers of
newspapers, which do not seem to be understood,
we will endeavor to make a plain synopsis of them
sad solicit attention thereto.
I. A Postmaster is required to give notice by let
ter. (returning a paper does not answer the law)
when a subscriber does not take his paper out of
the office, and state the reasons for it not being
takin ; and a neglect to do so makes the Postmaster
responsible to the publisher for the payment.
2. Any person who takes a paper from the post
office—whether directed to his name or another, or
whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible for
the pay.
3. If a person orders his paper discontinued. he
must pay all arrearages or the publisher may con
tinue to send it until payment is made. and collect
the whole amount whether it is taken from the office or
not. There eau be uo legal discontinuance until the
payment is made.
4. If the subacriber orders his psper.lo be stop
ped at a certain ti'e and the publisher continues to
send, the subscriber is bOund to pay for it if he takes
Se:out of the post office. The law proceeds on the
ground that a man must pay for what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers and periodicals from the post office, or
remoying and leaving them uncalled for, is prima
facia evidence of intentional.fraud.

FEMALE EDUCATION.
, The following article, an the above, subject.
we copy from the Mercersburg Journal." It
talks plainly, malt may be read by some with
profit:,
"Something about education again—that old
and well-worn subject,? Yes, and we hope
you never pease to hear of it. Sabbath
after Sabbath, the ministers of the Gospel pro.
claim to their congregations. the way of those
who persist io sin and the consequences—yet,
many die in their sins. So it is with the sub
ject of Education.., You hear of it often, yet
many go down in the world in want of it.:' It.
becomes us 'then to continue to present it before
you, as the ministers continue to preach, not
withstanding. the heedlessness of -many. By
and by, we hope, you will awaken to your
sense of-duty: • - • •

they attend school, but in most cases, how long !
A few terms seem to be Sufficient for them, and
their education is finished. Is this not great
injwithie? Yet, it does - not seem to be corisider

tlielitale The sphere ofwoman is
in her home. To make that home bright and
happy, the mind of one that makes it a home,
sl'ould be thoroughly educated. By it she will
at mice eierf the same influence over all around
her. Common observation will show any one
the decided aifference between a family where
an educated mother is found, and one where an
ignorant one assumes the cares.
To have 'well regulated families, obedient
and, polite children, we must have better edu-
cated mothers. We do not mean to say that
the females must attend boarding school, and be
educated in all the follies and nonsensical and
worthless branches that are generally taught
in them—where they get but a smattering of
French and Music, and spend the most of their
time in trying to learn fancy needle work, &c.,
which will be of no benefit to them. But give
girls as sound an education as you do boys,
something thaf will develop their minds and fit
them for their noble sphere. Whilst tew are
thvored with a boarding school education and
come home no better educated in mind than
whdn they went—but their heads filled with
ideas that make them poor subjects for ad'inira-
Con ; others are allowed to attend for a short
time the Ootarnon and select schools. The lat
ter it well, but they are not permitted to go
long enough. This is an error. We can well
see the reason why they - are - so soon taken away
from school. Girls when well grown, are such
a foe' idetitutiOn for help at home, that mot hers,
who never knew and felt the advantages of a
good education, Fare Sam 'led to think 'uur
daughters' have been long enough at school.
So they are taker. away at the time they were
being most benefitted. Would that the eyes
of such considerate (?) mothers would be oPen•
ed.
Ilovr mach all would be benefitted if Fe
male Education would be better attended to,
and assume the standard it should l So - hty
would be greatly improved, and the world at
large be made to feel its effects. We like to
see nothing better than a family where the
mother, possessed with a sound education, sits
and everts her influence upon all around her.
In sucks. family, the evenings do not pass
wearily hy, nor are , the children to be found
on the streets. Give us well educated m. , thers,

child the first lessons and impart first principles

and deep reverence for God—the Giver and
Author of all. We need the class of such
mothers as that of Washington—one whom her
son loved, to honor. Napoleon called upon
France to give educated mothers for the good
of the Empire. Really, in the mothers lie the
stability and good of a nation. As they bring
up their children, so will those children be the
men of the nation. To cause anal to rear up
children that will do honor to a nation, give
them such an education that will enable them
to discern their real sphere and duty in life,
and we will have the benefit which will be
clearly visible and felt. Are we not right ?
Some will say, no doubt, we depreciate the
standard of Female Education of now a-days .
Not so. We wish for its.elevation, and despise
the fashionable education now received. In
`this, we blame not those who receive it, but
foolish parents , who make the choice. The
error lies with them."
THE NEWS.
On Tuesday list a body of Rebel cavalry
crossed the upper P6tomac, and appeared near
Rockville, Maryland, where they met a portion
of "Scott's nine hundred" cavalry, and a small
infantry force. A fight ensued, in' which the
Rebels were defeated, with' a loss of thirty-nine
killed'and wounded; their commarider, Kilgore,
being:among the former. The 'guerrillas are
still troublesome in the neighborhood of Alei

I 'The GOvertiment has received official de
, •
Ispatches from General Rosecrans, dated Tues.
dafafterndon, 29th inst., at Chattanooga. It.
•appears that the enemy's attack upon General
Thomas' Corps (Rosecrans' left), on Monday
afterhoon, was handsomely repulied, and Gen
Thomas marched quietly to the position his
forces Were 'about to take when they were as-
I•saulted. Longstreet's Corps reconnoitred' our
lines 'tin Monday afternoon, but made no' at
tack. General Rosecrans' forces are now con
oeutrated *itt' a strong defensive position', tefew
miles in front of Chattanooga, which cart be
easily held until reinforcements arrive. When
his last despatch closed the enemy was quite
active, and had been - making approaches all'the
morning. Our men were in line and' ready for
battle: The result of the fighting, so far, is
that the Rebels have taken 2000 prisoners and
twenty guns, while we have captured 1300
prisoners and ten guns. Bragg's forces prob
ably nuniber 100,000. He acknowledges heavy
losses, especially among officers. A despatch
to the loiuisville Journal, says that reinfbrce-

ultimate and complete victory over the combin
ed forces of the enemy.
General Rosecrans telegraphs to Washington,
that'ou Thursday afternoon he made a iecon
wiissance of the enemy's lines, and found him
in force. No resistance was made to his recon
notring-party, and it returned unmolested to
bead quarters, after have gained much impor
tant information. The bulk of the Rebel in•
fantry appears to be massed in the Chattanooga
Creek Valley. Gen. Rosecrans awaits reinfor
cements, when it is his purpose to assume the
offensive. Gen. Burnside, up to Friday, had
not reached 'Chattanooga. Correspondence of
the Cincinnati Gazette places our losses in the
battle Chickamauga Creek at seventeen hund
red killed and eight thousand wounded. Fifty
pieces of artillery were captured by the enemy.
Although suffering so heavily, and losing so
many cannon. the k result of. the battle is not
looked upon as a defeat, since it is considered
by the military men that the enemy failed en
tirely in his objeet of routing and destroying
our army. It still confronts Bragg, and holds
a position whit% he dares not attack without
meeting a disastroua overthrow. •
Bragg has started the guerrillas to work with
