GOLD decHned anu SLOchb AuFauOeu yes
terday in New York, thus showing what
has been so often shown before, viz:-that
gold is demouettzed, or, in other words,
that it is no longer money, but coDmod-
ity, just like -four and pork, &C. We noted
the fact the other morning that when gold
was at half its present premium the lead
ing stocks in the New York market were
much higher than at present. And this is
not true alone of stocks, but of eading ar.
ticles of legitimate trade. Many of these
were within very small margin of what
they are now, some quite as high when
gold was below hundred.
U. s. One Year certificates sold yester-
day at 93t; Five-twenty coupons at 1924,
Pittsburgh aud Cleveland railroad stock at
lOs4; Fort Wayne at Il44, an advance on
this last, in one day, of 81 per cent.
There is evidently reviVing confidence
among the financial people in the condi-
ton of things. The fact that the raid
turned out to be "no great shower after
ALL" aud the still more important fact that
Grant was not scared-thst he did not
change his base, nor take his hand of the
throat of Richmond, have tended to revive
popular confidence in the situation. The
problem still is with the rebels how to
shake loose Grant, and, If he cannot be
shook loose, how to get supplies. 1t is a
long ways to come to the north side of the
Potomac, aud besides it might by and by
get to be dangerous. Who knows but the
PennsyIvanians and Msrylanders may now
organize State guard as Ohio has done
In which case We would not read of scene
like this which we take from the Harris
burg Patriot.
1.-THE excitement in Cumberland, York
and other neighboriDg counties confines on
the increase, heightened by the reports
constantly being received of rebel depre-
dations on the line of the Northern Central
railway, and the advance northward of a
large Dody of rebel cavalry. Yesterday
morning immense wagon csvRlcades, con-
Quoted by panic stricken teamsters, and nu-
merous droves of horses, arrived from the
western side of the river, completely block
aiding Front street for several squares north
and south, and Market street from the
bridge to the railroad. Most of the refu-
gees came from York county, some from
Cumberland and Adams counties, and a
few from Maryland. The hegira continued
throughout the day, one cavalcade follow
ing another in quick succession, and pass
ing out the various roads leading from the
city. We counted thirty wagons loaded
with hay others were filed with farming
utensils, and not few with household fur
niture. A gentleman who passed some
distance up the Cumberland Valley turn
pike and down the river to a point near
New Cumberland, came back with report
that both roads literally swsrmed with
teams waiting an opportunity to cross the
river.
" The York county refugees who arrived
here later in the day reported rebel cav
airy force twelve or fifteen hundred strong
within a few miles of York, and advancing
in this direction. From present indica.
tions, should the panic continue few days
longer, the country for miles around will
be almost entirely depopnlated, and the
ripeniug crops left to rot in the fields or be
gathered by the rebels.
