Columbus Heahd. Thu Cemlag Lallan. In leas than a month the new postal cards, will begin to flit about the country. They have been to me across the sea for along time, aad are very popular. Already orders have been received at the department for 30,000,000, and the Postmaster General calcu lates that 130.000,000 cards will be called for the drat year. They will be for tale at every post-office, singly or to quantities, the same aa pottage etampe are now. They are simply cards, and nothing more No envelope or stamp ia required—nothing bat an address on the oae side and a message on the other are necessary to send them frrth full fledged Into the world of letter*. The onc-oeut card take: the place of paper, en velope and • tamp—if the writer is willing. It is not expected that Tom Scott will use them when he dictates to his confidential agents the modut operand! of a new railway conquest, or that Arabella and Alphonso will conduct their delicate affairs on the Un hidden surface; but there ia enough of plain square business to the country to make the little messengers immensely useful and pop ular. The cards are to be printed on “bond pa per,” that to, paper worked together in a solid sheet without patting. They will be five and one-eight inches long, by three inches wide, and are of two shades of velvet-brown, bearing on one sides stamp with the “lib erty” head surrounded by the words, “U. a Postage one eeul” to lathe work, and having beside the words“Uaited States Postal Card.' Printed across the face are li"cs for the ad dress, with the water-mark “U. a P.O. D." across the body of the cud; whCe the re verse side to a blank surface, on which a brief letter may be written or a business card printed. To us the proapect of briefer letters i* the beat feature of the new mode of coRta- poadcnce. Though a pmeoversight, the Forty-second Congress did not make an appropriation at its second session,for the manufacture ofthe cards. The mistake was promptly corrected last December; and the contract wasawarded to the Morgan Envelope Company, of Spring- field, Massachusetts, at $1 89 7 8 a thousand. Two additional clerks are to be employed in the Springfield post-office, whose sole busi ness will be to register the card*; for none of them can be used until they are duly regis tered. Orders for them must be lent to the department at Washington; hut they willbe ■hipped directly from 8prtogfield. The cards will be pat up to packages of 33; SO pack ages to a light pasteboard box; 4j000or to wooden boxes of one foot square. The apprehension that they wU be used for blackmailing or venting personal spleen is baseless, because the present postal regula tions will prevent the delivery of all such letters except to the dead letter office, rule about grass or obscene words oa en velopes applies first-rate to postal cards. The only solid objection we have beard is that the carrier will be delayed to his route by the increased reading matter thrown tohto way. This pre-snppoaea, however, that he ia of aa intellectual torn of mind, and that Post master-General Cresswell will condescend to bestow upon us the carrier system to accord ance with the recent act of Congress.

The due wu lost There wu nothing left but the description of “Burden” given by Mrs Hindman and Judge Mangum. it shed a ray of strong, dear light on the chief.

An Election Story- In an old Pennsylvanian town where they voted tbe Democratic ticket sound, (so the story goes,) io 1868 the experiment was msde by patting a Republican ticket to the field. A Mr. Green wu tbe candidate selected, but by reason of sickness wu unable logo to tbe polls on election d-y. When the return wu published, Mr. Green had just one vote. Chagrined at Ibis, and annoyed by the ac cusation (hat he bad voted for himself, he an- nounced tnatif the person wbo voted for him woold come forward and mike affidavit te ihe facto, he would reward him with a suit of clothes, A few mornings afterward a burly Dutch- man railed upon Mr. Green and abruptly re- marked: “I wants dat suit of does.” “ Then yon are the maa wbo voted for me ?” “ Yab, I am dat min.” " Are you willing to mike an affidavit of it?” “Yah, I swear to ea” Mr. Green, accompaniedjby tbe uU-liigent voter,went to the office of justice of the peace, and the required affidavit was made; upon which the clothes were purchased and given to the deponent. At partiog Mr. Green said: “Now, my friend, just answer me one ques tion- How came you to vote for me?’ “ You vants to know dat?” “ Yta.” “And you von’t go back on de does ?” “ No.” “Veil,” said he, slowly, and with a sly twinkle ot tbe eye, “ den, I tole you—I made a mistake to de ticket! ’ comparative cotton statement.

IgOOO ^ instruction wbich they may severally confer. Nor to this privileged appropriation of terms confined alone to our own country. For when a College in the amplitude of ii* facul ties, facilities and privileges, equals a Uni versity, it to sometimes so designated. Tbe celebrated “College of France," which, up to the time of the Frenco-Pnusian war, bed been in operation for about 310 years, and which, to the wonderfal compass of i's cur riculum—with 33 profe-eors, and an equal number of distinct c:ur*es of stndy, em bracing almost every department of human restarch, wu Scarcely rivaled by any Uni versity on the Continent of Europe. The “University of Dublin" to aleoindif ferentiy denominated “Trinity College,” although endowed with univeraitv privileges. And yet it to not to be denied that in the gener 1 continental sense of the term, our great Republic to notrepreseutei by one uni- veraily proper. Tbe nearest approximasion, perhaps,which this country affords, to to befonnd in the noi- versity of Ihe State of New York, wbich, u reported, consists oc a Board of Regents, nominated by the Governor, and elected by the Legislature, which hu tbe su pervision and direction of nearly every col lege and academy to the Btate, and requires regular reports of their internal conuition and their progress: the numberof their pro- ffesors aud students; the Course of s'uaies, and tbe text books-employed. Through this central organ tbe several institutions receive their respective shares of tbe literary fund. At tbe period when our dtoutrous inter necine wu commenced (no later reliable sta tistics are now at hand) there were 122 col lege* and universities, ao denominated, in op eration in tbe United States, with an aggre gate patronage of 13,072 students—giving a average of 1U7 students to each inatitutioi Now, by tbe same rate of increase as tbe lut decide supplies, we may estimate tbe total population of tbe Union, in lb70, at 41,000,- 000. And supposing that the increase to the number of colleges bu been to tbe same ratio, tbe entire patronage would con-tot of 17,441 students—furnishing one representative col lege youth for every 23.860 or the entire popu lation; or allowing each family to consist of ten persons, it would require 3.386 families to tupply one student. The foregoing esti mates are only to be regarded u approxi mative, but sufficient, we trust, to indicate the demand for a larger college patronage, rather, perhaps, than a multiplication of literary institutions of high grade, or at least until tbe popular mind hu become ripe for their ample .outfit and liberal support. In the meantime any judicious and legitimate movements which msy serve to inspire pub lic coufiderce in valuable existing institu tions, lead to a more harmonious co-operation to their educational labors, and thos superin duce a more generous patronage and support challenge the attention, consideration and concurrent approval of an enlightened and Christian people. uuvpo w.*» piuuauij ----- -—- i rarity, l waicneu ro see u mis rest wuuiu a — - —J - - for cover nnlU morning.
