THE MONEY PANIC.


We regret that our limited space viii
not allow us to give the particulars of the
recent lank suspensions, which have
created great panic throughout the
country. Since the refusal of the Phil
adelphia banks to pay specie on Satur-
day last, each day has witnessed large
number of suspensions in other cities
and smaller towns in the interior. The
Baltimore banks all suspended in the
course of the same day, and were fol-
lowed by two of those in Washington
the Bank of Washington and the Pat
riotic-the Bank of Metropolis holding
out throughout Saturday, and paying
out over slxty-seven thousand dollars. -
It, however, also suspended on Monday.
There does not appear to be the slight
est doubt of the entire soundness of the
banks of Washington and Baltimore or
of their ability to meet their liabilities
when the crisis shall have passed. They
are still rcdeeming their SIS issues, that
being their lowest denomination. In
deed, their suspension was necessary
consequence from the action of the north.
ern institutions, and was resorted to as
precautionary measure to prevent the
drain of specie to other points. They
also eyinco every disposition to be a.
accommodating as possible to the holder,
of bills and to depositors.
Although these suspensions must, o
necessity, create great stringency il
monetary affairs and stagnation in bust
ness, there will still be enough currenc,
for the ordinary wants of society, ant
the bills of the banks will pass as usual
subject, it may be, to discount repre-
sentative of the difference between tho
bank paper and specie The Intclli
gencer of Wednesday notes the bes
Virginia paper as at per cent. discount
and adds that dealing in distant money
has come to a stand. The known ulti
mate safety and solvency of the Balti
more and Washington banks-in whicl
our people are chiefly interested will
we hope, result in an entire restoration
of confidence in a short time. There is
VIC apprehend, little reason why mucl
uneasiness should be felt, or the pani
continued in these cities; for they arr
; both free from the heavy failures whicl
have brought on the crisis at the North
and, in a commercial light, they cal
perhaps present as healthy symptoms 0
general soundness as any other place.
whatever.
The New York banks still hold out
and confidence appears to be felt tina
they will weather the storm, as well a
those of New Orleans. The whole hop
of tire commercial community appears
indeed, to rest upon the former city
We observe, in this connexion, that th'
Courier of that city, states its belief tina
New York cannot only sustain itself bu

there will be a greater accumulation 0

THE TOURNAMENT. Engagements in
another direction having interfered with
our attendance upon the Tournament that
came off at the Fair Ground on Wcdnes-
day last, and which was patronised by
so much of the gallantry and beauty Of
our county, we feel utterly at a loss to
present to the readers of the Sentinel any
description of the scene that transpired
on the occasion. We have called upon
several who were present, to furnish us
with materials for paragraph, but all
we could get from them was an intima-
ton that the ,ess said upon the subject
the better. We learn however, that the
gallant knights of Montgomery have re-
solved not to "give it up So" but to en-
ter at once upon arrangements for ano-
ther, that will reflect credit upon the
county generally and our town specially.

THE SECRETARY or TIE TREASURY. 49,
The New York Times bestows high COM
mendations upon Mr.. Cobb the able and
patriotic Secretary Of the Treasury, for
shaping the Government disbursements
for the last thirty days SO as to afford the
largest measure Of pecuniary relief to
the community. Since the oath Of Au-
gust, he has reduced his balance in the
sub treasury ut New York from $12, 800
900 to 81, 750, 900; nearly all Of which
has gone into the banks, reinforcing
them with that amount Of specie. These
movements are to be followed up by Mr..
Cobb, the whole effect being " to popu-
larize the sub-treasury system, in a sea-
son Of severe pecunary trial, and 10 af-
ford a degree Of substantial aid to bust
ness, for which the public are largely in.

THE EXCITEMENT SUBsTDTNG.-Thc ex-
citement in the public mind in relation To
monetary affairs, says the Philadelphia
inquirer, is gradually subsiding. The
banks are now acting in harmony, and
the difficulties that we're experienced i'm
mediatcly after the suspension will spec
Oily disappear The shopkeepers receiv-
ed the notes of our various monetary in
stitutions with the utmost cheerfulncss,
and even gold and silver arc by no means
as scarce as they at first threatened to be.
Our citizens have passed through a severe
ordeal, but their conduct throughout has
been remarkably patient and forbcaring,
and not the slightest disorder has on any
occasion taken place. The suspension
is regarded as temporary necessity, and
it will not be kept up moment longer
than the public interests require.

bred thousand presons in the city of New
York will be out Of employment and near

York are nearly idle, the foundries but
half working, and the great clothing stores
doing very little. 1t is stated that wo-
men have recently come to New York
from places 300 miles away in quest of
work from the clothing stores onlyto be
turned Of with none, and compelled to
beg theirway home again. The Tribune
adds, that places have looked for servant
girls for some time past; soon servant:
girls win look earnestly for places, and
be very glad TO find them. It's predict
cd that soup-houses for hungry laborers
who can find no labor will be wanted be-
