GoMoRE SusPENsIoNs.--The panic which
raused number Of the Virginia banks to
suspend specie payments, is rapidly sub
siding. and il is reasonable to expect that
no more OF our banks will suspend. Those
that have suspended will probably resume
SO soon rs the causes which led TO the sus-
pension are removed. Most Of them were
more frightened than huit.-- Valley (Ha)

A wretched victim Of misplaced conf
dence. named William Hnlipg. committed
suicide in Iowa last week, under the fol-
lowing circumstances: He had been pay
ing serious attentions to young lady, and
seeing her tide past with another gentle
man, and knowing that they would soou
return, he went and hung himself upon
an apple tree by the roadside, in full view
Of tie lady and his rival, and soon expired.
The New York Post relates the follow
ing remarkable case, illustrative of the Vi
cissitudes of business in our county:
A few months since the partner Of .
commercial house in this ci'y was taken
20 luna;ic asylum, utterly deranged, AZ
was said. by his unparalleled prosperity in
business. During the year preyions' his
firm lad cleared 8 SO, Coo. He died
in he asylum. and his own estate was
valued a. SO, 800 900, all invested in the
concern Of which he was a partner. The
firm failed itself the other day, and is now
said to be utterly insolved, One item of
the assets Of the deceased's estate was .
thous and shares Of the Illinois Central
Railroad Stocks. which was selling at tho
time of his decease at $40 share, and
which WAS worth, after paying up INSTALL
ments, $50, 600. TIE same property sold
yesterday at public sale at $4,000
All this occurred within eighteen
months-the prosperity, the insanity, the
decease and the insolvency.
ABUNDANCE At THE WEsT.-The Chica-
go Press says the Western harvest is com-
pleted and more abundant than ever Corn,
barley, oats buckwheat hay. fall feed and
potatoes are all secure and good. We
quote:
A large store of choice butter will be
added to the dairy products of the sum-
mer, which were never equailed in guam
t,y nor excelled in quality All kinds of
. roots and garden vegetables turn OUT
we'll. We never saw SO great an abun-
dance f fine cabbages, and there are
onions, beets, turnips, etc, to match -
Aud to these bounies are to be added
: all sorts of fruits in profusion.
A writer in the New York Evening
Post who sailed in the George Law two
voyages as Engineer, says the vessel was
known rs "the old tub" She WAS un-
seaworthy, aud the owners changed her
name, and called her the Central Amer
ica." He says the steamer llknois, in the
o same line. is no better. Both We're utterly
unseaworthy, as he can demonstrate when
investigation is made.
SUMMARY OF FINANcIAL NEws.-T The
latest advices fiom all parts OF, Ike county,
and especially from New Yo,k, are far
more hopeful and cheering. The deter
minaiion of the Judges OF the Supreme
Court to interpret the laws as fayor"bly as
possible for the suspended banks is well re
: ceived. and will obvia;e the necessity for All
extra session ofthe New York Legislature.

) of feeling. we note considerable advance
in the price Of stocks at the New York
stock Market. The second day sitter the
: general suspension. specie was abundant.
