THE PANIC MAKERs

1t is not difficult, we think, to understand one
OF the sources of the chronic panic3 in relation
to Ae number of the enemy in Vhgini;. and to
the daily prophesied attack upon his city.
War, which Is oncrous to the many, is profit

and in the necessary haste and Confusion with
which that sort Of hing ia lJne, i. il inr o7si.
BILE, with whatever degree of vigilance and
fidelity in governments, to prevent contractors
from making, occasionally very tempting
profits. If We arc expanding million Der
day, 1t Is probable that somebo ly is maiing an
average profit of ten per cent upon ii, which
would cease to be made if the war y... bro,rht
to close.
Now, nothing is more natural than that the
lucky gentlemen, who are pocketinr one bun-
dred thousand dollars, NOR, or less, every day
in the week. should resort to all ar:ili ,os to
protract the war as long as possible aad to
make it as expensive as possible. We must
take human nature Is we find it.
These gentlemen, when they make lsc Of

In some instances, doubtless, that ia trro, but
in most instances, probably, these ediivrl arc
deceived themselves.
Within the last two weeks, we have ad the
New York papers, with their vas! circulation

country to believe that the enemy has three

from Cuprera:

NUIlCEU.
We learn that "many intelligent and patri.
otlc citizens have applied to the Secretary Of
State, by memorial, asking the attention of the
Government to what they represent as treason
able matter contained in letter, written from
this city under date Of August 10, and pub.

their conviction that the statements in that
letter are untrue, and that it is the design Of
the writer to bring the credit and fame Of this
Government intp disrepute lin foreign coun-
tries"
In answer to such memorials the Secretary
OF State has written o letter, in which he says.
" that II has been the habit Of the Government
of the United States to take no notice Of rep.

PICTURES learn that our Government
has unofRcially received information of an op
portunity to buy paintings of tho great mas-
ters, antiques and other works Of art, at Rome
1t is supposed that the offer may have been
occasioned by the financial necessities of the
Papal Government, and Of members OF the
Roman aristocracy. As Congress has made no
appropriation for such purpose, the cfloi
could net, of course, be accepted.
