The Depression in Prices,

And how long will it continue? is the
constantly asked question on all hands.
Well, no one can answer it for certain, Of
course.
The knock down in affairs wa quite I'M
looked for, indeed hardly dreamed of on
any hand, and probably has no real war
rant in fact. The country, especially the
north and the west, were never richer in
all the real elements of wealth than at the
present moment, hence the panic is all a
trumped up thing, or the result Of other
causes than over trading, speculation oil
poverty.
Probably the panic could not have been
raised to any extent in the West, but foI
the trashy and unsubstantial basis of our
banking institutions, most of which, un-
luckily, do business on what they owe, in
stead of on what they are worth. This
small panic ought to teach all wise states
men to move in season in preparing rem
Iedy to guard us against greater disasters in
the future. Our entire system of banking
on wildcat stocks IS unsound, and fraud
upon the ignorance Of the people; instead
of its giving security at all times for THEN
circulation, it oily does so during good
times when no secaHity is needed. but the
moment adversely arises then the security
melts ike snow bank, and like mosl
worldly friends, is only good in fair weather
The principle Of the thing and the practice
under it is all wrong, and must be changed
before we shall have any safety or relia

WASHINGTON, Jan. {

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.
s Intelligence was received last night from
Charleston, that Fort Sumpter is now be
sieged that all Maj. Anderson's commu-
nications are cut off; that Fort Moultne
has been completely repaired, and the guns
remounted, and that everything is in readi-
ness to open a fire on Major Anderson
New batteries are being erected all around
him by the secessionists and every day the
danger and difficulty Of reinforcing him are
increased. His frequent applications fol
reinforcement, and even the prayers and
tears of his wife having failed to move the
President, he has determined never again
TO renew bis request but will perish, if he
must, in the Fort. His men have bound
themselves with an oath to stand by and
perish with him. It is beyond doubt
that combination is forming to take for
chile possession of the Government at
Washington on or before the 4th of March,
but the precise time is not yet determined.
The above is from sources which leaves no
doubt of its reliability. Gentlemen censure
the apparent inactivity Of the President,
contending that by availing himself Of the
counsels and services of Lieutenant Gener-
al Scott all possibility Of danger could be
avoided.

w ASHINGTON, JAN. ., 4 M.
A committee of Democrats from New
York, headed by Moses Taylor, arrived
here to-day. They have visited Seward to
urge his approval Of the compromise Of
Crittenden, but Seward don't see the thing
in that light.
The President said last night at eleven
O'Clock, that if Gov Wise's invaders visited
the District to commit an assault, they
must encounter ten companies of federal
troops.
The Common Council Of this city will
on Monday pass orders to cooperate with
the President in maintaining peace and Sc
curity. The militia Of the District are pre-
pared to act with efficiency.

1t is believed from what is known here,
that in the course of few days the forts
at Pensacola and Key West, Fort Morgan,
Ala, the fort at Ship Island, near the
mouth of Lake Borgue, together with the
arsenal at Baton Rouge, and Fort Johnson,
on the Cape Fear River, will be seized ana
garrisoned by the troops Of the respective
States in which they lie.
Senator Toombs received dispatch to-
day saying that the forts in Georgia were
seized by order of Gov. Brown. Private
information says if any attempt be made
to reinforce the arsenal at Augusta, or to
remove the arms, it viii at once be seized.
The South Carolina Comn issioners consid-
cred the abrupt termination BY the Presi-
dent, of their business with bin, as grossly
insulting to themselves and State. They
treat it as a declaration Of war, and in this
spirit they left this city this morning fol
South Carolina. 1t is said that the Presi-
dent yesterday returned their note without
comment.
There is no well authenticated evidence
of the purpose of the secessionists to seize
upon Washington and prevent the inaugu
ration of Lincoln. For this purpose 5000
men have been drilling for months past il
Maryland and Virginia, under an officer o
the regular army.
LATER-Mr. Buchanan reiterates bis de-
termination to collect revenues at Charles
ton, and the steamer Anacosta, now here
has been ordered to be in readiness to joir
the vessels already mentioned, for the pur
pose, if necessary, to assist Mcintyre in th'
execution of his duty.
