THE CITIZEN,

We again address ourselves to the reading public, not so much for the purpose of claiming praise for what we have done, as returning, in some measure, thanks for what has been done for us. We do not in any way feel uneasy regarding the permancncy of our paper, however many attempts may be made to supercede it or render if second in the minds of the people. Our paper is emphatically THE CITIZEN. It belongs to the town, tho county and inc State it has earned it's citizenship, has found a place in almost every house in tho county, and is still win ming it's way by fixedness of purpose, unwavcring principle and consistent action. It has not been so philanthropy ic as to make pccuniary sacrifices for the good of the people, for it could not afford it. In the publication of THE CITIZEN, we have endeavored to give to the people paper worth it's price; that we have succeeded in this, our subscrip- ton books will prove, and it is for the appreciation characterizing this support that we thank our friends. Its rates of subscription arc fixed, and in no case will it be furnished FOR HALF ITS WORTH! Others, in these times, may hug this reduction of rates as the dernier resort, and bolster up their sit uation with sickly show of prospcri- tv, but their purposes will be seen, and the people will guard against them.- What THE CITIZEN has been, twill be- newspaper for the people. It does not claim superiority to all, but asserts equality to any. By the reading pub lie it is appreciated, and to the adver- Using public it recommends itself by having the largest circulation of any paper on White river. This establish es it's position and excites the envy of others. All attempts to surpass <the Citizen will be vain; it is and will be the paper of Prairie county.

Excess of Population.

From the St. Louis Republican.
 Half a million of Europeans will have immigrated to this country before the end of the year, and more, proba- bly,, will come next year. In twenty four months a population in numbers equal to that of Missouri reaches our shores; in twice that time they. could fill a State with a population as large as that of Illinois, and (their dcscend- ants included) an immigration of six years is more than sufficient to fill the United States with a population as great in numbers as that which our country had when it declared its inde- pendcnce.
 We foresce, in regard to immigra- | ton. that it will be the same as with any other condition of things which commences slowly, then increases, then progresses rapidly, then reaches the 1 climax, then keeps for certain time at an average stand until it begins to decline, then rapidly decreases, and fl- nally not only stops altogether, but takes even the opposite direction. 1 Looked at in the commencement with favor, it's development is hailed as a great blessing, and is promoted by all possible means until it's exorbitant di- mansions begin to raise suspicion. Then comes the desire, and finally the imperative cry of the nation to stop it. Just so commenced the feudal system just so in our own times the system of centralization. Protection of tho na- tional industry has the same history printing, railroading, religious sects, agra9rianism, and thousand other matters are moving exactly in the same circle. Feudalism, for instance, was undeniably at the beginning most beneficial institution. It increased un- til it involved the whole world in one system of bondage. As even the very greatest blessings will, by the egotism of men, always turn into evil, just so did the system of mutual help, which was the original basis of fcudalism. turn into it's opposite. A terrible rev olution had to free the world from a curse which at the beginning was de- signed as the surest remedy against barbarity, and as bulwark of the weak and the poor against the en- croachments of the rich mighty.
 In regard to foreign immigration we are at this moment in that stage of public sentiment, when to oppose or hinder it, is regarded as a crime against the increasing prosperity of the coun- try. We are so perfectly convinced that dense populations indicate the happiness of a country-that crowded cities are the absolute condition of civilization-that even when foreign immigrants reach the harbor of New York at rate of strom 6000 to 1000 a week. we still send commissioners and agents to Europe to increase it.

Beginning to See it.

The New Y ork Journal of Commerce is showing how governing the South by military power. is impoverishine tho North. We quote:
 "Millions of dollars are needed at the South to-day for the bare support ot life. We are organizing Southern Re 1 lief Societies-noble charitics-and they save thousands from starvation but is it to be always SO? Are we to go ou year after year making contribu- tions to the poverty of the Sout. r. When is 10 end, and when will trey take care of themselves?
 "The answer is as clear as sunlight, never till you let them take care of themselves. It is hopeless to expect any end of Southern dependence upon Northern charity until the North takes of the heavy hand of military govern mcnt.
 To him who has not studied the first element of political economy, let us cX- plain simply this, that capital will not move in the South money will not go into agriculture, credit will not revive between man and man until the end of military law.
 Take a man in Georgia who has one hundred dollars to spare to-day. He has no confidence in lending it to another man, for he has no conception by what law Georgia will be governed next month. He only knows this, that there is no such idea left as that he was born under, namely, that the people of Georgia make their own laws and goT- ern themselves in all local matters.- No one is willing to lend money in q country where there is no written law So long as the present state of things continues in the South, there core, there can be no credit, no movement of capi- tai in small or large sums.
 "Let tho people of the South take care of themselves if the North expects to be freed from the cry ofpoverty and suffering which is now coming up.'

MR. DAVIS PLANTATION A cores pondent of the Weldon (N. CD .Staft Journal writes from Mississippi: 'l mentioned in my letter below Vicksbure that had passed Joe and Jeff Davis farms.

The negro is said to be quite an enterprisine man, and working a large force to grea advantage. l do not find here on thi' whole trip one man in ten of Southern birth or sentiment.

-The Virginia Legislature has ad- journed. The Dispatch says there was never a more creditablc session of that body.
 "A large portion of it's members are disfranchised but they retire with honor."
 It was very conciliatory towards the military government, and the Dispatch remarks that the latter IS as just as kind and as liberal as could be wished. A pleasant report. We hope it may soon be universal.

noticed great many of them crawling

something to do with their sickness. He
then caught one or two chickens that were

melted little lard in teaspoon, with the
addition Of little ground black pepper,

See to the Horses.

s@AC
In building barns for horses, we are to
be governed in this as in all other things,
by principle: We are to build what we want;
different individuals want different things
according TO their wants and their capacity
to build.
But what is wanted in a horse-barn I?
What does the reader find he needs p
Perhaps he has not thought much about
the subject, aud does not know what he
wauts-or rather what the horse wants.
Well-the experience ofths world has DEM
onstrated this much: That the horse
wants warm stable in winter aud a cool
one in summer. 1t wants this for its COM
fort and having the comfort, its gets SO
much good in lieu of oats and hay-to say
nothing Of the enjoyment of the animal,
which humane man always considers.
A warm stable in winter and a cool one
in summer, is supplied by stone walls or
brick better than anything else. (COn-
crete comes under the same head. But
if this cannot be done. other means must be
devised by the owner. He must know
enough to devise these means-or had bet
ter dispense with the horse. Snug. warm
quarters can be secured by any one at
small expense, and TO suit the circumstar
ces of the owner.
But what we wish to insist on, is-keep
the horse from suffering from the cold
Shivering in the stall, even with the blan-
ket on, is a common affair. The hair will
stick out, and the horse viii lose flesh, I'M
less fed high. Here is suffering and loss;
aud because it is common it is permitted.
Who will break in upon this habit and
add comfort and prosperity to his animals ?
Animals Of all kinds, but especially the
horse-iuteIligent as he is-kuow when
they are well or ill-treated. The true man
is ashamed III the horses presence to mis-
treat him.
We have written this article more to
urge 10 good treatment than merely to de-
wise a stall. There are many ways to build
a stall or barn. Each man must see what
is best for him. First Of all, let him have
the good Of the horse at heart. This will
lead to good results aad this alone.
Warm quarters. regular feeding. good
fresh water. grooming aud keeping clean,
both horse and stable--these are among the
common requirements. Then your horse
will thrive; it will be kept cheap it will
be kept clean and fit TO be shown WsrLd

Buy at Home.

"0nr mechanics. of all kinds, are as
skillful in their several avocaIions, and as
deserving of patronage as those of any
other town or city. WhosOyer sends
abroad for anything that can be purchased
here, does the industrial interests of our
town and comfy injustice, and is retarding
she prosperity of the place. Many per-
sons fancy that an article which comes from
New York. Piasburg. or Cincinnati, is
better than If the same were bought or
manufactured here. In many instances
they will pay more for an inferior article to
crafty their desire for something far-fetch-
ed than a good article would cost here. It
is always safe to patrOnize home manufac-
turers, aud vastly better fer producer and
consumer in the end"
The above paragraph, which we clip
from one OF our exchanges, is true, every
word Of it. We must learn to patronize our
home mechanics If We would be a happy
and prosperous people. And it holds
equally good with the printer aud publish
er; ifless encouragement were given to
the light, trashy literature of Northern
cities. and more encouragement to our own
home publications, it would not be long
before they would be enabled to enlarge,
improve and cheaper, so as to compare
favorsbly with any OF the publications of
the day. But it is vain to expect Southern
publications to compare with those Of the
North, SO long as the patronage Of the
Southern people is given to Northern pub
