Living and Means.

The world is full of people who can't
imagine why they dom prosper like their
neighbors, when the real obstacle is not
in banks or tariffs, in bad public policy
or hard times, but in their own extrava-
gance and needless ostentation. The
young clerk marries and takes house,
which he proceeds to furnish twice as ex-
pensiyely as he can afford, and then his
wife, instead of taking hold to earn a
livelihood by doing her own work, must
have hired servant to help spend his
limited earnings. Ten years afterwarI
you will find him struggling on under a
/ load of debts and children, wondering
why luck was always against him, while
his friends regret his unhappy destitution
and financial inability. Had they from
the first been frank and honest, he need
not have been so unlucky. The single
man hired out in the country at ten to
fifteen dollars per month, who contrives
/ to dissolve his years earnings in frolics
, and fine clothes the clerk who has five
J hundred a year, and melts fifty of it in
! liquor and cigars, are paralleled by the
young merchant who fills house with
| costly furniture, gives dinners, and drives
fast horse on the strength of the profits
he expects to realize when his goods are
sold and his notes all paid Let man
have genius for spending, and whether
his income be a dollar day or dollar
a minute, it is equally certain to prove
inadequate. The man who (being single)
does not save money on six dollars a
week will not be-able to on sixty; and if
he does not lay up something on his first
year of Independent exertion, will be
pretty apt to wear poor man S hair into
his grave. .lLa.- ---.-.-. -..--- --..--.

MIssIssIPPIAN OFFICE,

DOUGLAS NJ. HAMILToN-Dear Sir:
Your favor of the 2lst ult. is received.
You are right in your surmise that the
article referred to, and similar ones, are
written mainly for Western consumption.
The papers printed here 60 regularly to
Western soldiers, by some means, and
are not unfrequently republished in Wes-
tern papers. -'.s>'-f b.
From the beginning of the struggle it
has been an object with me to draw a
distinction between Western and Eastern
soldiers, of the n orth--to give the first
q credit for all achievements of Federal
arms, and denounce the latter as cow
ardly, malignant and intolerant, hoping
thereby to produce a division among
them, and thus relieve ourselves and
this, it must be confessed, is about the
2 only object hope to aid in accomplish
ing by presenting to the West a seeming
willingness to admit them into our Con-
federacy, upon our own terms and condi-
tions
While there are certain conditions up.
on which would not be opposed to their
admission-the entire expulsion of Abo.
litlonism and fanaticism-the adoption
of onr Constitution, and the eunrestrained
liberation of Slavery-yet am not wild
enough to believe that even the Western
States will ever reach this standard, and
hence political brotherhood with them
is something I neither expect nor desire
My sole object, therefore, in such articles
as you refer to is to increase the dissat
isfaction now raging in the West trust
ing it may soon break out in open rup
ture. This course think could defenC
upon moral grounds, but that is not nee
essary now, IS Ira 3.
1t is proper to say, that know moth
ing of the Presidents views on this sub
ject, and the Mississippian (thougl
friendly to him) is not his organ.
Cordially sympathizing with you il
hereditary and intense hatred to the true
Yankee character, am, very respect
fully, M +. 7. COOPER,

Jefferson on Arbitrary Arrests.

Some years ago, General Wilkinson
made an arbitrary arrest" of Aaron
Burr, who was believed to be engaged in
an unlawful enterprise on the Western
rivers. A few persons were found then
to object to the act, and stir up an agita-
ton against General Wilkinson and
President Jefferson. The latter in re-
plying to the letter of friend used the
following language: "a

circumstances do not sometimes occur
which make it duty in officers of high
trust to assume authorities beyond the

but sometimes embarrassing in prac-
tlce. A strict observance of the writ
ten laws is doubtless one of the high du-
ties of a good citizen, but it is not the
highest The laws Of necessity, of self
preservation, of saving our country when
in danger, are all of higher obligation.
To lose our country by a scrupulous ad-
herenee to written law would be to lose

those who are enjoying them with us;
thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the

consider the state of the information,

formidable conspiracy within the city.
Under these circumstances was he justi-

accomplices, the other that of honest

Humbugging the West.

When our troops took possession of
Jackson, Mississippi, Gen. J. NJ. Tuttle,
commanding one of the divisions Of
Sherman's corps, established his head
quarters at the residence of F. T. Cooper,
editor of the jackson NisSissippian
Among the papers left by the editor when
he fed from his home was letter from
Douglas NJ. Hamilton, a Louisiana poll
tician of some note, and Mr. Cooper s
reply. Mr.. Hamilton takes exception to
the position taken By the MiSSiSSippian
relative to the reconstruction of the old
Union He thinks the series of articles
which appeared from time to time in the
Mississippian, holding out the idea OF
reconstruction as all wrong, unless they
were designed to stimulate the "misera.

their opposition to Lincoln and his abo.
lition Administration, and by producing
dissensions, quarrels, and perhaps blows
and bloodshed among our common
enemy, relieve us in measure of the
tremendous power they are preparing tc
bring against u.s. Mr.. Hamilton desires
to know if Mr.. Cooper is really seriou:
in his advocacy of reconstruction; if so
Mr.. Hamilton will oppose him to the
utmost of his ability

The Peace Convention Of 1860.

Many of the Copperhead orators allege
as one of the causes of the war the re-
fusal of the abolition - members of
the Peace Conference of February, 1861
to cooperate cordially with the Southern
members in settling the difficulties OF the
Nation There is evidence enough that
the spirit manifested by most OF the
Southern members, was far from peace
ful, and that they intended to use the
Conference not for the purpose of con-
cession but secession. We did not know,
however, until recently, that some OF
these peace men were priyy to the de-
sign of assassinating Mr.. Lincoln as he
passed through Baltimore. 1t may be
that such project seemed very proper
peace measure from Southern point OF
view, but we cannot wonder that the
North refused such q concession to
Southern prejudices. .-YF 6: .rT
,. The authority for the assertion that
the intended interruption" of Mr.. Lin
coins journey to Washington was known
to Southern members, is to be found IN
the following extract from speech de-
livered by Mr. Chittenden, Register of
IuC ISdouI y DSloiS q w HoSniA6 UNAA " 90
meeting, few days ago:
He was a delegate from the State of
Vermont to the Peace Conference which
met in this city in the month of Feb
ruary, 1860, upon the invitation of the
Governor of Virginia. In that .Conven-
tion he happened to form the acquain-
tance of James B. Clay of Kentucky,
William..A. Seddon of Virginia, (the pres
ent rebel Secretary of War, Governor
Morehead, of Kentucky, (who is now a
fugitive, and he would always be until
he repented) and others. His seat was
near those gentlemen. One day, while
sitting with them, servant from VIII
lard S hotel entered and handed card
to Mr. Seddon, who sat near Mr.. c. He
did not know what was On the card, but
it was passed around from one to the
other in such manner that he}could
not help but see what was on it. On the
card was written.athese- -words-LincOh

confusion made by small piece of g
card before At last, Waldo P. Johnson
afterward Senator from Missouri, who
could control himself no longer, exclaim
ed with vehemence, How in the devi
