 The Panic.

After arguing this subject very fully the Appeal comes to the following conclusion which we think correct "Cotton is King" and while money is so abundant in Europe and the south in condition more prosperous than at any former period, and short crop to meet an in- creasing demand we can hardly see how prices are to fall or this great interest, commanding an income annually of one Hundred millions dol- Jars, to be affected seriously and permanently, by the partial bankruptcy of the north. We look principally to England and in England there is no scarcity of money:
 " If these principles be correct, and we doubt not they are, our great staple will command full prices whenever it begins to go forward freely to the markets of Europe. Money is abundant there and cheap, while cotton is in demand, and must consequently be high. We advise all our panic makers to reflect upon this view of the [" "crsis,"

Authentic Information.

By reference to the journals of the last le- gislature which were some time since publish ed and distributed to the clerks of the different counties, the people will find more than an or dinary amount of information, relative to the affairs of the State and particularly with regard to the Real Estate Bank
 These journals were published, as all know, for the information of the people, and the official records which the constitution requires to be placed within their reach. We have ever thought that the people of this State, as mass, were too indifferent about looking into these important ard authentic sources of correct and reliable information relative to many matters closely connected with their interests and the welfare of the State

Pregnant Facts.

The Hartford Times says
 "The political party which calls itself re- publican has had brief reign of one year ir New York, and the result upon that State is now announced in the terse and expressive fact that the State is bankrupt; that its credit is ex hausted, that it's public works are again to b stopped; and that its taxes are incrasing beyon precedent.
 In order to parry the force of these indubi table facts, the New York Tribune sets up tn plea of the baby act urging that it's party but fifteen months old, that it cannot justly | held wholly responsible for the financial cond ton of the State. This will hardly do. Pee pie in that State begin to think it Is about tim to turn their attention towards bleeding Ne, York; and the border rut1ians who have $ damaged its good name and abused the conf dence reposed in them. Bleeding Kansas wi get along very well by itself until after the Ne York election, notwithstanding the Tribune effort to keep up the hue and cry in that dret ton. Look at bleeding New York"

India-The Short of rhe Story

Major A. Cobbe, of -the 87th R. l. F., vo- lunteer in the camp before Delhi, writes home as follows:
 "India has to be reconqurered. There is no denying that we have lost it."
 Our English cousins will find that the hardest part Is commencing oyer That is always the most unthaukful as it Is the most aborious ul. dertakng. India was conquered when i.s in- habjtauts understood little of the arms or tlctcs of European "civihzatjon." They have for the last century been taking lessons in all the art and strategy of European warfare, and have now some most pert officers, and a native army well versed in all the maneuvers of their &C., compshed enemy.
 Here Is the great difficulty of the reconquest of the country. The British have taugh the natives as mulch they know themselves of the use of firearms, and have, besides, educated the aristocracy of the country as military off cerS. These native officers and native armies are now in bitter opposition to the English.- The difficulty of commencing over'' is now very apparent. The English have to fight with their own students, who have populous and fanatically- excited population to back them, while the English have to recruit their exhaust ed army from home.
 That England will, in the end, triumph, we have no doubt. The indomitable spirit of the British people will put India through. That is their history, as it Is their destiny. We say that, while we think that their triumph will not benefit the world one particle. Their conquest of India has not advaced the Christian religion, nor has it abolished Pagan rites one degree The English seemed to look to nothing but en- rlching their own coAers; they cared nothing for Hindoo ceremonies or Asatc sacrifices of hu- man beings, so they reaped the golden harvest. Civilization nor Christiani has, therefore, any thing of interest in the future of the present contest, if its result will prove no more beneti- cial to the world at large, and humanity in ge- neral, than the first conquest of India. Eng land will conquer, but what benefit will it be to the world if it "shall be as it has bcen?" We answer, none at all,- Cincinnati Enquirer.

FUGITIvE SLAVES CAPTURED-The Louis vile Courier of the 25th gives the following ac- count of the pursuit and capture of some fugi- tive slaves from that city:
 Last "Wednesday night four negro men sud- denly disappeared from the city, and it was as certained that they had run away. Liberal re- wards were offered for their apprehension, and on Saturday they were captured over in Indiana, between Hanover and Madison, and brought back to the city in wagon.
 A couple of white men, it was ascertained, had taken them across the river below the falls to New Albany, where they were received by a third white man, who planned thIr escape.-- Two of the runaways belonged to parties in Bardstown, and the other to Warren Mitchell and Mir. Ballard, of this city. They all had money when they started, but came back with very little. Sam, Mir. Mitchell's boy, had some S75 in his possession when he started, S65 of which he stole from his mother. He had been a favorjte servant, and his master had proposed to let him buy himself at about one-third of his value, but he was inveigled off by the abolition ists, who robbed him of all his money.

BY JOHN GARTER. love the beautiful and the true. Where'er their trace I find, Or linked with earth, or floating through Ton heavens, unconfined. Where children play, where toilers groan. Where armies march in blood; Beside the cottage or the throne, On land, or on the flood Sometimes I see them far away, Bright in stars of night, And, often in my tolls by day, hail them with delight. Oh, dead is he in heart and soul, Who sees no beauties here; Who always hears the thunder roll, Fen when the skies are clear. For me, when frost has torn the charms From every fow'ret sweet, I sec some beauty in the storms That at my window beat. The sparrow hopping through the snow, With sad win,ry song; The shivering footman laboring slow The hidden paths along The noisy fowls, making way Far through the ladened air, High OCT the prairies dim and gray, And OCT the meadows bare. These have some beauty, which the sleet And tempest cannot hide; These wake old memories which are sweet Around the bright fire-side. Thus in the heat and in the cold, All through the rolling year, l see the teeming earth unfold
 Her beauties far and near. And oh, love them well and true, Where'cr their trace see, Or cheering earth, or floating through The heavens, high and free!

The Bank Suspeusfon.

In our last we informed our readers that the banks of Philadelphia Baltimors and Wash ington City, had suspended specie payments. We have now to add that the suspension in- cludes all the banks of the States of Pennsyl- vania, Maryland, Delaware and Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia, together with scattering banks in the rest of the New Eng land States, in New Jersey, New York, Michi- gan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Virgi- mia and Tennessee. In this general view, we include the banks that have suspended within a month or two.
 Ia Mississippi the Holly Springs Bank has failed, or at least has failed to redeem its issues at New Orleans which was their chief place of redemption. Some months since we cautioned our readers against the receipt of the notes of this bank. In North Carolina the Farmers Bank of Elizabeth City has stopped payment. The brokers at Norfolk, Virginia, were on the 29th ult., buying its notes at 50 per cent dis count
 With this exception, we have observed no notice of the stoppage of any bank in North Carolina, or of any in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, or Missouri Florida, like Arkansas, has no incorporated bank. Texas has one bank, but it is not of much account.
 When we speak of no bank failures in Ken lucky and Missouri we must be understood as referring to the incorporated banks. In both St. Louis and Louisville, heavy failures have taken place among the private bankers and bro- kers Some of the particulars relating thereto will be found in our news columns.
 In the cities in which the banks still main- tain specie payments, the money market IS very stringent. In one day at New York, Vir- ginia State stocks fell II percent, and Missou- ri's fell 10 per cent. From this the reader will see the nature of the securities on which "Free Banks" depend for their exstence.-- When most wanted they prove least available. The following comparative view, will give the reader some notion of the fall that has lately taken place in the New York market:

SERIOUS FAILURE-The St. Louis Intelli- gencer of Saturday last announces the failure of the house of Chouteau, Harrison < Vale the propr;etors of the celebrated Iron Mountain in Missouri. Each member of the firm was possessed of individual wealth; the suspension arose from the impossibity of making "car- rency" available for specie payments. The Intelligencer says:
 "We understand that orders have been given to stop operations at the Iron Mountain, and that the number of operators thus discharged will amount to 45O. At the Laclede Rolling Mill, in this city, and the Coal Banks, the num- Der is stated at 400 A good many of these men have families, and the'prospect for them, as well as others, is gloomy one'

TIE Loss OF THE CENTRAL AMER1cA.-The

TIE Loss OF THE CENTRAL AMERICA.-The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Mercury makes some well-timed remarks re- specting the late terrible disaster. He says:
 Whoever has attentivey read the account of this calamity has come to the conclusion that the disutegration of the timber of this vessel was a gradual work; that her hull was not adequate to sustain the strains upon 1t. It is true that she had been inspected by an officer of the U. $. Navy, but it Is also true that he was the in- spector of her euginery and tof the conS,ruc- tion of her hull Her machinery proved what ne had pronounced it to be, but the relation of other parts to the machinery not in due proportion. It is true that she had seen good previous service and had been recently over hauled: but whatever may have been the mo- tive leading to the change ot name, the result was, iii effect, deception upon the pubhc mlnd. New paint and d new name are not proper, Ill such a service, for a vessel ot dubious strength. But other inquiries may be made. The law in relation to passenger vessels calls for berthS of twenty four feet and fixes the number ot passengers according to the tonnage of the yes sel. What standard of tonnage? Ii the United States tonnage which United States laws, of course. call for, then four hundred and not six hundred passengers was her complement.- Again the law demands lIiebOatS adequate to the number of passengers on board. We read that there were five boats, though two of them were stove. If they large boats, they would contain fifty persons each. or two hun dred and fifty in all; and yet the ship contained six hundred and thrty-one. And still further the law or the usage of the merchant service de- mands resort to the pumps at least once in every half hour during storm. We do not hat pl,S p1 America On the contrary, what could have not been anticipated, she had no pumps on which to rely.
 The subject might be further discussed, even to the bringing home of portion of the passen- gers of the trusted steamer by an old time-worn brig that had lived out the storm in which the steamer went to the bottom.
 Let no unfeeling nor unkind remarks be ut tered in relation to this sad affair." and yet let us look we'll at the past, that we may be wiser for | the future.
