0uR PAPER.
OF PRAIRIE COUNTY.

We feel under lasting obligations to our friends for the liberal support they have extended us since the commencement of our paper Our success has been beyond all expectation, and we now think if the same support be given us in the future that has been ours in the past, we can soon say we have the largcstcirculation in the State. We do not wish to boast of our own efforts, but if our success be q criterion by which to judge, we certainly may fatter ourselves that our endeavors for the public good have not been in vain. In the commence memt we declared our determination to make ours the peoples paper--how far We have succeeded, it is for the peopleto say but this we know, all that we have done, we shall continue to do, and ill proportion to our encouragement, shall be our endea- vors to satisfy the demands made upon us, asking in return but the support that has been so liberally bestowed upon us in the past.

n WHAT'S TO BECOME OF THE NEGR0

Ourexchangcs from all parts of the South arc filled with account of meetings held for the purpose of considering the condi- ton of the poor unfortunate Negro, and if possible give him aplace and a work. Now we confess that Negro suffrage is more than we can swallow, andwe cannot endorse too liberal an educational policy towards his children. But we do think thatsomething must be done perhaps by our next legis- lature--to throw around him certain re- strictions, while we give him certain rights and privileges, that he may be made most subservient to our purposes and interests If the Negro is to remain in our midst, and if he fall under the common sentence by the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread" he must have something to work for, some incentive to action. If we would make him still of service to the higher or der of intelligences we must give him a position in which ho can be of service. The right to contract cannot much longer be withheld from him, while to protect our selves, we must give him the right to sue and be sued, which of itself admits him to testify in our courts These privileges accorded to him make him better satisfied with himself, while they destroy not his identity. He is still the Negro, and must ever be, but he is no longer the poor de- pendant upon his masters bounty. His doom has been sealed, his sentence pro nounced, by his worst enemies, protesting to be his friends, and he must work-hu- manity demands that we should give him work, while justice to ourselves requires that we throw around him the strong arm of law to hold him to his place.

Garibaldi and the Volunteers.

Milan Correspondence London Herald
 Inmy letter from Como I gave you an account of the arrival. and reception of Garibaldi, and of my first impression of the volunteers having now seen them at drill in small bodies, and in regiments under the eye of Garibaldi himself, I am enabled to even more than confirm my formerfayor- able report of them
 They are simply, without exception, the finest material for soldiers ever saw. The great majority are between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five, but there area good many older men, and, perhaps, fifth or sixth of the whole number are lads from sixteen to nineteen. More than half, should say, belong to the middle and upper classes; perhaps one-quarter are artisans or mechanics, and the remainder belong to quite the lower order. They are, as a whole, tall, and are all exceedingly active, well-made fellows, capable of going any where, and doing anything that men could be asked to do All arein high spirits at the arrival of Garibaldi, and only burn to be brought into the presence of the enemy It must not be supposed that the volunteers are by any means all raw recruits, 1 should say that quite half of those at Como have one medal at least, many two or three, having served as volunteers with Garibaldi in the last war againrt Austria in his Nea- politan campaign, or in the regular amy.

RETRENcHMENT.--We are glad to see that not few of the bills involving large expenditures of the public money, which were brought before Congress, and upon which preliminary action was taken, have been quietly laid to one side, with nopros- pect of being taken up. If Congress were to pass all the measures of that character which have been urged uponit, our national debt would be doubled before the close of the present session, One of these bills involved the expenditure of three hundred millions of dollars-a sum equal to onetenth of the entire amount of the debt of the Government; another appropriated thirty millions und there have been legion of schemes requiring from quarter of mil lion to several millions of dollars. Excel lent reasons were urged for the passage of almost every one of these measures and in each case it was proven how much the country would be benefited by favorable action. The reasoning in their favor would be perfect, if the Government had any other mode of raising money than by taxa tion upon the people; but as it has not, tbe argument is greatly weakened.-[N' Y.
