PeOoREss OF MONEY MArrres.-Wc carefully

PRoOREss OF MONEY MATTEgs.-Wc carefully
noted the tone Of the commercial journals of
New York, Philadelphia and Boston at the close
oflast week, and we notice great reluctance to
express themselves intclligibly, which seems TO
look very much as il they had nothing very
couraging to say. Prom the list of fixtures,
which VIC publish in another column, it will be
seen that breaking and smashing has been the
order Of the day all over the country. People
everywhere are timcrouS-afraid 10 invest their
money, and afraid to keep it ON hand--ttHt is,
anything but specie, and hence, by fits and
starts, they are making run on this, that and
the other bank, while the bank, perfectly sound
perhaps, falls victim to a panic, just as the
bodies Of these poor, panic-strickea persons
often do, when there is no actual disease tbs
the easiest thing in the world for some irrcspon'
sible person, or some petty newspaper away oil,
to start some whisper about a bank having been
discredited or suspicioncd. 1t is an old saying
that any sort of "a lie will travel half around
the world while truth is putting on its boots,
and lie Of such character where the interest
Of the bill holder is added, soon changes the
nuttering thunder of the distance into desper-
ate storm at home.
Among all the rumors and contradictions of
rumors which we sec in the Price Currents, De-
tectors and Shipping Lists It's gratifying for us
to assert that we never see anything but the
most favorable mention of the standing of our
Wheeling banks. Wehaye particularly watched
this department of our business for some time
back, inasmuch as we know that it would be the
likeliest thing in the world for some vague re-
port to find its way into some country ncwspa-
per and 50 from thence on. But the public
confidence in our banks is everywhere, VIC be-
lieve, intact.
What the end of this financial crisis through
out the country is going to be, of course no one
can tell, but crisis, such as all our inost.reia-
BILE monetary writers aver this to be-a mere
panic crisis--ought to be easily adjusted. The
N. Y. Courier, in speaking on the subject, OBJ
serves:
Two things arc wanted to cause permanent
restoration of commercial and financial affairs
as they existed two months ago. The first is,
on the part of the papers, to cease giving cur
rency to foolish rumors as to banks, bankers,
and merchants. One Of our morning Journals
has persevcringly created and aided others in
creating false reports affecting tile credit OF in
CiiViduais and institutions, and an evening pa
per has contributed in no small degree to spread
wider such rumOrs., The next best thing is for
the people to attend to their affairs and let
others alone The hue and cry rs TO falling
banks have been promoted mostly by those who !
have no interest in them and nothing to lose IT
the banks were to break.

CAxxEL CoAL-The editor of the Fredcricks-
burg Ne,es, writing from Kanawha county, says
that camel coal abounds in those mountains,
and it must prove an Aladdin's lamp to its
owners. 1t is almost pure carbon, and burns
and bIazes with a brilliant light It is broken
up in small pieces and put in large iron retort;
heat is applied and the result is steady stream
of dark olive.colored OIL The coal, after the oil
is extractcd, makes the coke used to heat the
retorts. The oil is purified into pure white
color, and produces wax, which makes excellent
candles, while the refuse is used as grease for
machinery, &c Nothing Of it is wasted.

company turns out nine barrels day-342 gal,

a fit Of dslirium tremeas, made an attempt to

wound on his throat with knife, and afterwards
jumping from the third story window Of eNa-
