lathe Panic Dead:
From the New York Courier.


Panic is dead. The political and pro-
slavery mongrel, died ON Wednesday at 5
b.. and yesterday, his funeral was one

Everybody appeared to rejoice over the
violent death of this great disturber of the
public peace; and We are sorry to say,
that many who claimed to be the friends
of deceased when living, were among the
first to treat with contempt and contumely
his dead carcass, kicked about from pillar
to post, without anybody to claim an in
tcrest in it, much less to mourn over, and
do it reverence. A murder has been COM
mitted and yet the conspirators who
perpetrated it, instead of shrinking from
the consequences, boldly aVowed their re-
spOnsibilitY for the homicide, and receiY-
ed the thanks instead of the denunciations
of the community. The Banks aYowed
that they had deliberately assassinated
General Panic; and the intelligence was
rendered dOubly acceptable by the an
nouncement that in the contest which re-
suited in his death, General Humbvg was
mortally wounded and General Confidence
restored to tho command and control of
We need not say how sincerely We
rejoice in this restoration of confidence
amoug all classes; nor need we reiterate
our convictions that there has been no
cause for the disturbance in our monetary
affairs which has proved so disastrous to
good men, and from which, only kuaves
and political tricksters, have reaped any
benefit. Even the pro-sluvery purty Of
this region, who have been bullying us for
weeks past, and threatening the country
with Panic and Disaster for months to
come, in consequence OF Mr.. Lincolu's
election, must now admit, that the hun1bw0

have brought upon so many innocent
people; it is indeed relief to know
that the crisis is past, the threatened
danger avoided, and the peace and quiet
and steadtness made to take the place
OF the turmoil, commotiOn and disas-
ter which have reigped, and which threat
ened to overwhelm the mercantile commn-
nifty and all our banking institutions. Let
us rejoice at the relief experienced even in
the very darkest honr of the panic; but let
us not forget that it might have come

the councils of our Bank Presidents. And
