OURSELVES.

We have in the last few months treated almost every subject of which we have knowledge, carefully refrain ing from any mention of ourselves, and we hope that our readers will par don us for mentioning self in this issue. Itis not our intention 10 complain for we have nothing 10 complain of Our friends have helped us greatly in our enterprise, and to them we are thank ful. We started out over a year and a half ago with the determination to give to the people of Prairie county good new spapcr, and we think it no flattery when we say we have done it. The benefit of the country, it's advancement and improvement have always been to us objects of the greatest importance and as an advocate of such measures as had for their end the bcttcring of our condition, the Citizen has always been heard to speak. While we do not pro- nose to dictate to any one what they shall or shall not do, we can say we think it the duty of every man to read
 read ncwspapers-and above all to read home papers. No man ever yet lost anything to hiRself or family by subscribing for newspaper; 1t is 3 benefit to his family. valuable school book to his children, and source oi pleasure and information to himself. As the season is now here when almost every man can, without inconvenience, pay a reasonable price for paper, we modestly present the Citizen as pa pcr--a good paper-and one in every way worthy of his patronage and well worth the price for which 1t Is fur- nishcd. We would not devote our at tention entirely to soliciting subscrip- ton, but would throw in word ortwo for advertisers. The trade of the White river valley is we'll worth con tending for, and there is no means of securing trade so sure as advertising in Ia we'll circulated newspaper. Our paper, in this particular, claims superi- oritv over all others published on White river, as il circulatcs in almost every county in the State, and from this consideration is valuable medl- nm through which the business of its natrons is made known to the people. Our columns are already well filled with advertisements. but we have room for more and ask our friends to consider our claims and judge if we will not be mutually benefited by their patronage.

TIE COMING lssrE.--Tempcrancc prohibition is to Dc the next issue of the extreme Radicals The Massachu- sctts State Temperance Convention has resolved that "as the great work of emancipation is perfected, we recog- mise the necessity of cngrafiing the principle of prohibition upon all organ, nations that shall continue to direct and control the country" Senator Wilson made speech, in which he expressed his horror at the idea that any man should be licensed to sell liquor, and Dr. Eddy declared that mo man who is not pledged to prohibition can oecu- py the gubernatorial chair in massachu- sets. .v.i'he preaching of temperance in all things Is commcndablc but expe- rloncc has demonstrated that prohibi- tion by legislation is an incentive to drunkenness and crime. But if il were conducive to good morals, we have yet to learn thai State governments are or ganized as agencies for controlling the social habits or political principles of d people.--l Memphis Bulletin.

For the Citizen. A Word or two About the Mute
 School.


 School.
 DEAR CITIZEN Ut is fact not gen orally known to the people of Arkan- sas, that the citizens of Little Rock appropriate one hundred dollars per month for the support of a Mute School, which was established at this place last July, which appropriation is intended to continue until such time as the State shall step in to patronize it. Two deaf and dumb young ladies, resident in this city, were glad to avail themselves of the advantages offered by the school by entering its walls on the 9lh July, and have continued to att tend ever since. Their progress is wonderful, quite; as witness the fol- lowing bits of composition

sR.-A letter from New York, Ii!
Y Philadelphia Lc,IJer, says:
mother batch OF suits fer Tic rc-
Try of damages has been Instituted
inst Gen. Butler, in the Supreme
.rt Chambers. The plaintiff are
omc cases citizens of New Orleans,
in other cases citizens Of Virgi-
/, and all claim to be and have
Ben loyalmcn.
The mostscrious fthcse complaints
or suits is based upon the allegation
that Gen. Butler had, by virtue ofhis
power in New Orleans, compelled a
Mr.. Honiwell to transfer the steamer
Carlotta worth 100000, to himself
personally for $40, 900; in q curren-
hey worth but $2S, sOG; had, through
lis agent, sent this vessel on a,pn-
) ate venture for his own advantage,
hich it was insinuated was to sup
1 lPly the rebels with quininc, &C.; and
then through this agent, had charter
Fed i. to the Government foc $500 per
kday, though the original owner was Is
willing to charter it to them at $oo
per day, and. had ultimately ''rua her
Binder" near t!le end of the war, and
obtained for ker $4,000. 1t was
laimed, therefore, that in no sense
could it be said that. this had been
}done under authority from the Presl-
dent or Congress.
Gen. Buffers counsel contend that
these acts were done in accordance
with Government authority, and
lnoves, therefore, that they be trans
ferred to Federal court for adludl-
cation. The court promised decl-
tsi on in day or two.
