INDIAN. FREE BA>Ks.-According TO the
State Sentinel, published at indianapolis, the
Free Bank paper still continues to flow into the
Office Of the Auditor of the State for cancclla
ton. Within the two months ending Oct. 23d,
upward of eight hundred and fifty thousand
dollars had thus been Withdrawn from crcula-
ton. This deficiency in the currency will be
severely felt. The State Bauk Of Indiana can
not I'LL the vacuum, for the extraordinary de-
maEd fer coin has rendered her powcrlcss to
give any relief.
In relation to the future, the Cincinnati Ga
zcttc announces that an arrangement is in pro-

Banks Of Chic Kentucky, Wheeling. and the
State Ei!nk Of Indiana, to which the former
have already agreed, which promises to bring
