How tho Specie Panic was Started.

According to the Independent. tho specie
panic was started in this way:
Certain well known capitalists, having gone
as far as they dared in running up govern
ment stocks, made up their minds that it was
best to unload and try something else. They
did so-sold out entirely. They then started
tho specie panic upon the we'll known basis Of
"scare." OF all men in tho world, not ex-
ceping a spading, skedaddling army, mons
are so easily frightened as spectators and
capitalists. -Give them start and they will
go out Of their skin at one bound. The first
move Of these panic makers was to Luy up
all the gold afloat in Wall street. TO do this
didn't require much capital as the banks and
trust companies were full of menay, and glad
to make loans on gold at low rate of interest,
and with small margin. After securing
large amount-all that could easily be eoIItct-
ed outside of bank-they commenced the sec.
ond most important move of offering IL small
premium. This had the desired effect. 1t
opened the old stockings, old drawers, and
old hiding places Of thousands of petty mi
sers. 10 get a premium Oh their treasures
was n streak of luck entirely unlocked for
these hard times. The spectators, having
now made sure Of profit ON all first pur.
chasers, began bolder policy. They offered
a higher premium, borrowing OH their pur-
chases from DAY to day as fast as they were
made; and we know the very institutions
from which they We're supplied with money.
Every day the rates Of premium advanced.
and in that proportion the people were scared.
Our importers, to use common expression,
were half scared to death. What to do they
didn't know Large amounts of goods had
been sent for from abroad, in anticipation of a
high tariff; and now they must be paid for.
Money was easy and prospects good for fne
profits when the orders went out, so that
goods were beginning to pour in upon us
from England, Germany, France and all over.
The specie spectators knew this would be so.
and knew also it would help them. The i'm
porters gave their orders with no such pro-
grammc before them.

A true friend and bitter foe will both criti-

T The London Ners Of late date, speak
ing of breadstufs, says cargocs Of corn contin-
ue coming in from America, augnentins from
week to week tho excess over ordinary i'm
porta,ion at this date. One consequence and
illustration of tho fact appears in the decision
of purpose of tho Mersey Docks and Harbor
Board. Eor some time it has been m'contem-
plation to provide increased accommodation
for the corn trade of Liverpool, and last week
it was determined to erect warehouses on both
sides of the river at cost Of nearly half a mil
lion. Gladstone has been advcrting, in his
speech at Mold. to tho dread that a forner
generation had Of our not being supplied with
homegrown corn to full extent Of onr needs.
What would our fathers have said If they
could have foreknown that VIC should prefer, as
safe and profitable, certain degree Of depen-
dence on foreign countries for food, and that
already Liverpool would need such st1reroom
for grain which would suit the Americans yet
more to scnd to us. in the crisis Of their civil
war. than it suits us to receive. The COM
modify is the sound and saving element at a
moment Of singular complication Of fiscal mis-
management in America and our share ofthe
benefit is that we shall be spared any excess

short time since:
A small body of Confederate prisoners

new hospital on tho Union Dock. Some
Of them were quite unwcll and unable
to cat the army rations,' which had
been provided, and yet much in need OF
nourishment. This fact being made known
TO the ladies attending on our sick at the hos
pital, they hastily prepared tea and other
suitable provisions, and carrying it to the
boat, with their own hands ministered
to the necessities of the suffering prs.
oners, taking care to let them know in
kindly terms that they did it in sympathy

The service was gratefully received, and the
incident seemed to leave pleasant impression
on the minds of both parties-.he sufferers
and those who ministered to them. Ate,
the prisoners had left, some persons, in the
garb OF ladies', came to tho Hospital with bas.
kets of supplies inquiring for them. They
were informed Of their departure, and tha,
they had been furnished out of tho supplies
provided by the benevolent for our sick, and
at the risk of having short supply for that
day; and it was suggested that. If they were
disposed so TO appropriate them, the contents
of their baskets would be very acceptable fol
hospital use. The suggestion was met by a
contcmptuous expression in regard to "Me

and all.
