We have heard just such language from some of these worthies; and we confess that to one who, in- good faith, has come . to Nebraska to make' it his home :who is willing to strug gle through, the privations ' incident to the soling cf a new country, in order to lav ' a foundation for the future prosperity of the country; bring about a state of affairs under which his children and those of his neighbors and ; friends who have come hither prompted by similar impulses, can live, in peace, quiet and comfort, such remarks grated heavily upon our ear.

Let Us this winter rather pass such laws as that these new comers will not only fall in love with our climate, soil and country, but be forced to admire, the ! machinery by which we workJ ' :- "Tiic Crisis.,, fBanfes." . ' As little else is written or talked about now-a-days ialf the matter in all the papers in the country is "Suspensions," "Banks," "the Crisis" the first and last words, almost, that passes between neigh bors when they meet or part, is ;hard times," "what are we , coming to," and such like expressions no further apology need be necessary for our referring to the subject again this week, and perhaps yet agam. Everybody is talking of the "probable causes, ana tne . ... in a short article last week on "currency, we still are of the opinion that "better times" are close at hand. The work of "bank suspensions," 1 however, has still gone "on, until we should not be at all sur-' prised, if at the present time, every bank in the United States has suspended specie payment. Recent conferences of banking men from the various parts of the '' Union warrant this conclusion. ' The State Bank of Missouri even ; an institution we have been told was so securely founded and: guarded that it was impossible for it to suspend, has gone the way of similar ins titutions, and now stands , on the list of suspended specie paying banks. " "We re peat what we have said in a former article, when the country is f orceddown to a coin currency, such a state of affairs as at pre sent exists in the business world is the in evitable resulCiWe cxrHtend that the; gold and silver to carry on the imrnens-3 trade of the day, is not in the country; and we aouot very mucn wnexner we mignt not say with propriety, in the ' world. -1 Not withstanding the draining of coin from our country, we see that the suspension of the lianUs ot .Lnglancl, t ranee, and in fact all the banks of the old world is confi dently looked for. In support of our po sition as to our own country, we present the following table of exports of specie from the port of New York for six years past. For the present year from Jan. 1; 1857, to Oct. 24, 1857, S3331 6,777 Same date in 1856, do 1855, do , .1854, do 1853, do 1852, 30,644,599 25,496,338 33,410,323 19,562,769 22,242,779 We have not before us the table of im ports for the same years ; but this much we know, if statistics are to be relied ion. We have exported, since 1S50, no less than $272,000,000, on an aggregate, or 834,000,000, annually, on an average, as excess of exports over imports of coin and bullion. "We have, at that, increased our foreign liabilities greatly during the same, period, so that the London Times estim ates our indebtedness to England alone at 100,000,000, or 8500,000,000, which at 7 lp2 per cent, obliges us to pay, if called for, annually, a sum of not less, than 837,- 000,000 interest, nearly absorbing all the gold proceeds from California, which are thus virtually lost to us. Here then, is in our humble opinion', the great reason' of our distress in, the financial world, when we are forced. to rely solely on gold and. silver as a circulating medium. . - The Albany Transcript, in speaking of our financial embarrassments, very appro priately remark's : V ' ' ' ' ' ' ""We several days since called attention to the fact that owing to. the extravagance nd folly of our people, the yields, of the California mines had been continually drained through us to 11 tho coffers of European tradesmen and manufacturers. Our neigh bors on the other side of lh6 water know too much for us. We are mere children beside them, and spoiled children at that. They know how to get up gew-gaws, and they know we will covet them. They know that we will boy every-pretty toy that is ex posed to our view, and they are not slow in their in ventions of such toys. ' In short, they know that the 'fool acd his money are soon marted." -But don't let us despair. The lessons we are learning ore whclesome ones. If we are ''paying dearly for tho whistle," our experience will be worth something to us by-and-by. . Wo' are young nnd vigorous, and will manage to live through our present vicissitudes, when we hope to see tbe-epoiled child renounce his or ejjrn playthings and turn to som-thing mora sub stantial." , ' " It seems that we may look even for our national. treafurytofeel sensibly fe ef fects of the money panic. The. receipts for the past month has been ; $3,600,000; payments 810,600,000; being an excess of 87,000,000., The Washington corres pondent of the St. Louis Republican, vox derdale of Octl 24, in speaking in rela tion to this subject, says ; , , . 1 "The Secretary of the Treasury was visited this morning by a number of New York merehwits, for the purpose of consulting on tho commercial affairs of the country, and axertaining, as fax as possible, how tho public revenue is to bo affected bj the finan cial crissid. The returns from flio Custom llouso ex hibit the fact that the entrios during the past-week were as heavy as at any pa?t period the goods, how-, crer, being sLorod instead ot being thrown npua the market.

' v -u '' i m a , ' Still at Ms Dirtr Work. THvo weeks ago we noticed an article f rbni the Washington correspondent of the St.' Louis' Republican, in which charges were made- airainst Juds:e r erguson that - he i had perjured himself inpre empting a tract of land near ' Bellevue in this Terrirorv. Ve have since noticed the samt charges, under the - same dale, written in almost the samt language near enough to satisfy any one that they origi nated in the 'same revengeful unscrupul ous brain in the Washington correspond ence or tnree , or iour . ptner papers in different parts of the States. We strong ly suspected when 'first reading this; silly charge that Chapman himself, the pseudo Nebraska Delegate, was the author. We now have no doubt on that point. W have reliable authority for believing that Chapman asserted, before he left here that such was his intimacy with, his in fluence over, and facilities of operating with the Wasiunston ' pennv-a-liners- that he "could and would" through these very channels "raise a storm over Jer guson's head." His letter to the N. Y. Herald lets the "cat out of the bag' entirely.' Read a short extract as fol lows : ' "Another interesting feature of tho matter is tho gentleman's seat i3 contested, and the investigation may involve an examination into this charge, as tho Uouse,bcing the judge of the qualifications of its own members, niy reject him in advanco for corrup tion, ana thus avoid the necessity of an expulsion alter wards. , There you have it. Chapman would rather get rid of Judge Ferguson in any way than to run the' risk of the result from a fair and full exhibition of facts in regular- contest before the House of " i : . Representatives assembled. Therefore, if he could he would bring charges against tne Jadge" and r have him ousted or set aside without ever allowing the contest to come , up. If Chapman is not very careful, he will overstep himself, and the charges he fain would make against the ... i - character of such a- man as Judge fer guson may rebound and fall upon his own head.; ; The more we learn of this man Chap man, the more astonished we are. Did we believe there was any connection be tween the two beings; did we not fear the charge of sacrilege, we would be tempted to say we are surprised that the Good Being, who governs all things, tol erates as much high handed, unblushing- assurance and impudence, and as few o the ingredients to make up a man "form de after his own image." The Bellevue Gazelle, published a Bellevue, the home of Judge Ferguson, in speaking of. this matter, says: i "We do not know what malignity and bit'er ani mositics, working in hearts blackened with the dark est of lnldnightcriines, led on by a deram like Chap man, would do; but we shall be slow to beli-ivc, that lives there one man, in Sarpy county, who would say much .lass swear, with tho knowledge of the facts before him, that Judge Ferguson had not occupied l l: , .i r- l. . luiu cuiuvn eu mo iana ue pre-empica. rrom per sonai Knowledge, we Know, and have heard at least thirty men say that tney are willing to make an affi davit that they had seen, on many diffcrcntoccasions me wuugB, m mo luimmui ci3 court terms, person ally employed on his land in question, cultivating, and improving, to say nothing of two hired men, one tf whom worked exclusively, on the quarter section that he pra-enlpted.j A crop of corn, potatoes, &e. is not yet gathered, raised by the Judge. The fenc ing is not of tnrf, thrown tip 'two feet high, but of rails, all now to be seen. : His houso is a much better one than many now li,ra in. All those improvements, which amount to fifteen or twenty acres of actual cultivation, for the' first six months, on a new farm, is more than manj' of our farmers in Nebraska made tk firet two j-cor.!. "Facts aro etubbor things, Snd no man, no matter how hlnck his heart may bo with" malice, or how devilish his purposes could be, however much ho might desire it, cannot swear away Judge Ferguson's improvements. Facts can be misrepresented and falsehoods can be told,' but the truth is still tho same; and should an army of one thousand maligncrs of human character, make oath that the imrrovements are not there and were not made by Judgo Ferguson,it would not convince one man whose optical sense is his own. Should there be any truth in the statement, that any man or set of men have sworn a3 stated above, there will be some more swearing, that the truth may be told; but we gay, in all candor, we do not believe one maa can be found in this county, so utterly lost to ail sense of propriety and self respect, or so blind and madenedbya fcrling of bitter hatred, as to make such charges, and that, too, under oath, and all for political effect." " The Nebraska City J "ews, in speaking of this cowardly, sneaking attack upon bur Delegate elect, ; Judge Feegusojt, says : ' rrtA' , . ' -' I ;' ' :V :- Now is'nt'this a pretty little pronunciamento for Chapman to proptl against one whose honesty has never been questioned against one who has never been out of tho Territory since its organization, ex cept when ho left for Washington as its Delegate, that he has perjured himself ia pro empting a quar ter section of land!!! . ' And instigated and set on foot too, by one who his never resided in the Territory long enough topre-cmt a quarter section, and . who to-day doesn't own a foot of land in Nebraska that wasn't obtained by grossly prostituting and fanning out the high oflico of Delegate ! Evt ry honest man in Nebraska as well as this vagabond Chapman knows that this matter trumped up is n willful, malicious, and hellish lis. They know that Ferguson has complied with the pre-empMon law, that ho is a bona fide resident squatter upon his land.
