The PANIC.-The recent convulsiOn
in money matters has developed many
curious scenes in our town within the
past few days. On the day preceding
the arrival of authentic news that a
number of banks had been discredited
in Milwaukee, one Of our merchants, III
particular, continued to receive all bills
which the bankers convention Of A pril
last pledged to receive until December
next. The result of lis days trade
displayed between six and seven hun
dollars in his drawer. Men of whom
nothing could be collected of or bor-
rowed from, for the reason that they
always plead "dead broke" suddenly
discovered that they had ''pile' stow
ed away in some corner or stocking,
and as soon as it was likely that they
might lose percentage by boarding it
longer, they invested it at the stores.
Many OF them have been taking the
Reporter for three years and half, and
we're always unable to pay. Some &C
tually owed us borrowed money, but
we could never find them with II dime.
Funny, isn't it? Now, we desire that
.hey shall not be surprised, if, on some
fine day, some Of their debtors are gar
nishecd to pay us,-at least, not more
surprised than we were that they had
so much money,

Propositions OF Adjustment.

The following propositions, in addition
to those noticed before. have been sub.
United to the Peace Congress.
lst. That no new territory shall be
acquired without the consent of four
filhs of the members of the q. 8. Sen.
ate. nor until ar act of Congress be pas.
sed admitting such territory as State.
end. That the appointment of all
officers for the territories north of Sc deg.
80 min. shall be made upon the recon
mendation of the Senators from the North,
and the appointment of all territorial off
GERS south of that line upon the recon
mendation of the Southern Senators.
This provision, however, will not prevent
the removal, by the President of any such
officer for good cause. This proposition
further provides for the distribution OF
the proceeds of the sales of the public
lands.
