Extr,,vugance.

Some of the most intelligent Ger mans are greatly disgusted with the foolish extravaganza in dress so com mon in thls country among all classes, and particularly among the industrial portion. It is very different in Europe.
 The following letter will be read with interest:
 MISTER PRINTER 1 have some trou- bles want to tell you. When l left the Faderland 1 thought would come to this new country where we could earn more and save more than there :; but 1 find we can't save anytings, cause mine frau, mine poy and mine gal goes so much in the foolish ways of Ameri- cans in so much dress and expenses. Mine frau once was plain, working, nice woman and helped much to make liv- ing for all, but now she say can make so much 1 can keep her fine like these foolish peoples who wants to putcvery- tings on their back. When she go out to buy tings, she mpst have silk and all such nonsense. The poy, too, say he must have broad-cloth, fine boots and so, like the squirts, you call, and the gal wants me to hire nigger so she can be lady.
 II tings go on long so twill break me flat, and must take bankrup law.
 You Americans may make fools of yourselves and spend all you make If you have so mind, but don't make fools of our peoples too.
 We can truly sympathize with our German friend. The Germans are too ready to abandon their good, thrifty and economical customs when they ar rive on our shores, and are quite too ready to adopt our extravagant and ru- inous tastes for finery and flummery in dress.
 It is melancholy to see how few of our mechanics and working men and women save anything, no matter what wages they get. Very seldom is any thing saved for a rainy day. The recent distresses ought to he lesson to them.
 Mechanics and working people are not the only ones who suffer in this way. High living has sent many mer- chant to the wall. The young business man who would succeed, must frequent ly exercise good deal of firmness to live clearly within his means, and re- slst the temptations that are constantly presented to live in as good style as his neighbors, before lie has accumulated the means that will justify him in doing so.
 Extravaganza in living is not only our great national folly, but one great cause of our national financisl difficult ties.--Louisville Gazette.

Northern Creditors vs. Southern to Debtors.

We take the following article from the Missouri Democrat:
 "An intering suit has just been decided by the United States Supreme court, which is of importance as touching the claims of Northern creditors upon per sons in the South for debts contracted be- fore the rebellion. The case, which came up on appeal from Circuit court in Arkansas, was an action on a contract between citizens of New Hampshire and a citizen of Arkansas, and the question pre- sented to the decision of the Supreme court was, whether the time during which the courts of Arkansas were closed on &C., count of the rebellion, is to be excluded from the computation of the time fixed by the statute of limitations, within which suits on contract may be brought
 "The Arkansas court gave judgment for the plaintiffs, ruling that the action was covered by the statute The Supreme court, on appeal of the defendant, held that between citizens of two States at war all debts are suspended, and also the statute of limitations; and that the late rebellion having been declared to be civil war, and to give behgerent rights to the parties, carried with it all the incidents thereto and suspended the statute of lim- itations between citizens of two of our States, one in rebellion and the other not.
 By this decision the judgment of the inferior court is sustained and an import ant principle is established"

BE A MAN.

1t is iamentable fact that too many men yield to the downward pressure of diversity and become lost to usefull ness in society, and the world, when in the least degree unfortunate, or as they term it, unlucky. Particularly in in these times, when adverse winds are blowing heavily upon us, do we find men who, because of national difficult ties and individual misfortunes, are ready to give up all hope of ever re- trieving fortune, or extricating them- selves from political or financial em- barrassment. Their argument is, Times are go hard, money so scarce, political prospects so gloomy, that it is useless for man to try to do anything for himself or anybody else. We are free to confess that we don't like this kind of philosophy. There is no real man. hood in course of this kind. Our country now needs men as much as it needs money; not creatures formed and fashioned like men only, but strong, active men men that will look adversity in the face, and with stout hearts determine to do their best, at all events, to do something. Resolute men, who will wrestle with misfortune with an unconquerable determination to overcome. Give usa community Of this kind of men, and regardless of po- itical darkness and financial depres- sion we will york to prosperity, There are too many men who, in idleness and seeming indifference, are disposed to wait for something to turn up that will make times better and themselves more prosperous. This is the class of men who most bemoan our political condition, and who arc most ready to suggest improvements It is by the mouths of these men that every educa- tional or agricultural policy is con- demned. Their only policy seems to be to wait; they have learned to wait but, alas they have not learned to la- labor, without which waiting will do us no good. He can only afford to wait who works, and the man must work, and hard, too, who expects by waiting to see improvement for him self and country.
 To these grumbling unfortunates we say, quit this improbable waiting and growing and go to work. What if times are hard? you need not by idle ness and inactivity make them worse.
 Beside, times were never so hard, nor will they ever be that man, if he be man, cannot live. We of the South have suffered enough to be strong; it is time we were proving our strength The South needs that strength it is needed in Arkansas; Des Arc needs it, your family demands it. You owe it to yourself to be man, strong man--in determination, in resolution, in purpose, in honesty q stroug man. Let us all quit specnla- ting about what will be, and work things up to what we would have them be. We repeat the South needs men, Arkansas needs men, we want men in Des Arc. Young man, quit loaiing and be man; man to dare, man to do. Do something; if employment can't be had in the counting-room, go to the tield At all events go to work, work every one of you twelve months, and then if with you times are not bet ter than now, don't take our advice any more- mad.

The witness gave uo positive answer, but sent it in writing.
 Senator Henderson-Did the Presi- dent on either occasion express firm determination 10 remove stanton!
 Witness-The President never ex- pressed any intention to use force, but seemed determined that their relations should cease.
 Senator Howard-What did the President say about force?
 The witness repeated what he had said before inrelation to the Presidents belief that Stanton would make no re- sistancc.
 Senator Henderson-Did yon give the President any advice on this sub ject? s4 Nlas-n tor
