That paper said the panic was playing the mis-
chief with Wall street. Now, suppose, the peace
panic Is doing the same thing. When will the
community learn to look upon the tricks OF Wall
street gamblers Of no moro importance TO the real
business affairs Of the country than the operation OF
the two Yankees, who made each Independent
fortune, by aoapping coats. The "buls," by some
nicely managed scheme run up stocks to-day

Such might be the effect, though should regret

mere sectional jealousy. We want not war; bat
our rights clear and nnquestonable rights n,it be
maintained; and q craven wretch must he be, who
would first stop to count the cost in dollars. Mr..
Maclsy, the democratic member Of Congress from
this city, well said in his admirable letter. read at the
late meeting Of young men al Tammany Hall, that

Our members Of the State legislature leave the
city to-day for Albany-the new year being the
commencement Of the duties OF that body We
shall probably have the governors message on Sat
urday, when We may expect TO learn his excellen-
cy's views upon both State and national affairs.
We are soon, so il is stated to have another dis
tnguished visiter among us--no less parsonage
than Baboo Dwnrkanauth Tagore, an East Indian
of much note now in London. He is worth, "'tis

living at the ST. George hotel, Abemarle street. Lon
don, at the rate of 900 per annum-dines often
with her Majesty, and kicks up considerable of a
dust generally. He certainly would prove "fat
one" for some Of our Wall street gentry, il they
could only get him to "touch the fancies;" but in
nil probability Tsgore understands commercial af-
fairs too well for that; being merchant of Calcut-
Ia, he knows how money is made, and, presume,
also knows how to spend il. Let our fair country
women, who fond Of foreign characters, keep
an eye upon Baboo's movements, for TO become
Mrs. Dwarkanauth would be no small spec.

they are to be found; new acquaintances made; old
and almoat obsolete Friendships rsnSwed; cnnsraip-
lations given and received health, happiness, and
fhousa,sd happy returns OF the season drank in a
glass Of wine, or slipped in dish Of coffee; the life,
spirit, animation gaiety and real hearty good feel
ing everywhere seen and felt by old and young,
male and female, really makes the first Of January
here one of the green spots in our existence. will
leave this and prepare my list of calls for the NOR
