A prominent citizen of Pennsylvania,
who is Democrat, though not an active
partisan, and WHO is now in this city, as
sures US that Lincoln will carry that State
by at least 20, 900 plurality. The State is
sure to go for Lincoln, he says; nothing can
now prevent it.

What are called the Southern States proper, ex-
elusive OF the Southwestern States, are stated in
the report Of the Treasury Department 10 contain
ll6 banks with aggregate capital of <5l 5s3 256;
loans amounting to ts2 23l ,sss; specie amounting
TO SO, l30, $40, and notes in circulation TO the
amount Of s35 $685. ls. II is very easy 10 perceive
what an effect 8 panic would have upon these
banks, and how quickly they would go down be.
fore the first Of the thunderstorm. When We try
10 analyze the exact effect which this catastrophe
would exercise upon the banking institutions Of
the North, care must be taken 10 remember that
banks. unlike other financial concerns, rest wholly
upon a basis Of confidence, aud that a panic will
be quite as fatal 70 bank as a substantial loss.
Ifconfdence could have cen established in lsj7,
our banks need never have suspended fcontdence
y destroyed this winter II wiz not save our banks
TO know that they do not share the actual losses
Of the Southern banks. II il clear, however,
that bank failures IN the South would involve actual
losses In the North. We have no means OF knowing
what the actual indebtedness Of the South to the
North may be ut any particular time; the state Of the
exchanges shows, however, that there Is always
balance due this section. We presume that it is
safe to assume that the North sells to the South
twenty million dollars worth OF goods every
month, at the very least-psying tor these goods
In cotton, tobacco, sugar, rice, &c. And a. the
South buys on long credit, and sells for cash, Il is
psrhsps safe TO say that at any particular oment
there must be somewhere in the North from
$50 900 600 10 fTj 600 600 OF Southern obligations
This debt would not be paid II the Southern banks
suspended. Cotton would not come forward for
want Of banking facilities, an the loss would uti
mately fall, il always does In such cases, upon
our Northern banking corporations. This Is only
one point Of view In which the subj ect may be
considered.

SUCCESSFUL TERMINATION on \ SuIT.-A
Young attorney of our city, was engaged by a
lady Yesterday, who visited his office for the
purpose, to bring suit against gentleman
for breach of marriage contract. The nup-
tials were to have been consummated evening
before last, and somehow the gentleman for
cot to come to time. The lady was prompt
to demand her legal remedies, she was u
widow.) and as we said, called upon our at
tornev Yesterday at his office, who forthwith
instituted proceedings by making out the ne
cessary papers, laying the damages at $4,000.
Having to 60 out on the street Tor something
connected with the suit, our attorney met
with the defendant, who expressed Il decided
disrelish for the law proceedings, at the same
time excusing himself for the non-pertor-
nance of his contract the evening before,
which was unintentIonal, and the result OF
forsetfulness. The attorney told him he
thought he could avoid the suit yet-that the
injured lady was then in the Office and he
thought she would accept the performance OF
his ORIGINAL contract in full satisfaction for
the injury, and invited him to walk up and
try to negotiate peace. The lady was not
difficult to persuade to take HIM instead OF
the $4,000; the attorney was oblgIng, and
left them for few minutes to indulge togeth-
er their blssful anticipations, while he went
for a license and justice. The knot was
soon tied in his Office. The obliging attorney
then procured carriage for them, aud sent
them down to the City Hotel to taste the
first sweets Of the honey moon.
So was spoiled one of the prettiest cases for
Il breach of promise that has occurred lately.
1t would have made noise in the papers.
As it is not common thing for attorneys to
lend their assistance for the amicable settle
ment of differences between the parties, we
propose they name their first boy after him.
to show their appreciation OF his kind servl-

CRlSoLINE.-Few persons imagine the ex-
tent of the trade in crinoline wire. For about
three years past, the consumption of wire by
the crinOline workers in this country has
been not far from one hundred tons per
week. The wire is of steel, and the price has
ranged from fifteen to thirty cents per pound.
At the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS cents-the year
ly consumption amounts to S2,464, O0O.-
\ few months since the orders to first hands
greatly diminished, and fears were appre-
heuded by the wire makers that the harvest
was over. But the lull was caused by an
overStock in the hands of crinoline makers,
who had ordered too freely. At present the
demand is as active as ever and prices are
advancing. The ladies will be surprised to
know how much this part of their dress costs
in the aggregate, and to think what weight
they carry.
