GREENBACKs.-However public conf.
dence in the banks and bankers may be
shaken in the midst of the present financial
disasters, there is one fact which stands
out in bold relief-there is no want of con-
fidence in the currency of the country.
The circulating medium which has been
provided by congress commands the con.
fidence of men and banks in all parts of
the country, and the bill of national
bank performs the Office of money as
well at a point remote from its place of
issue as at home. And this fact marks
that clear distinction between the present
and any of the preceding crises that have
occurred in this country. Hitherto that
which has most contributed to panicky
feeling, has been want of confidence in
the currency of the country. AT such
times an individual or bank having in
possession bills issued by banks in remote
parts Of the country, and, indeed, near at
home, made haste to get them out of hand.
Now the currency commands the confidence
of the country so entirely that no one de-
sires to part with it.

entertainments at Assembly Hall last
night. The Professor is decidedly the best
magician we have ever seen. He had a
fine house last night, and all seemed de-
lighted. His performance is worth the
price of admission, and yet he gives away
lots of things as presents, including gold
and silver watches. Those who haven't
seen Anderson should see him. Those who
have seen him, we venture to assert, will
see him again.

IMPROVEMENT ON 'CHANGE, &c.
We are gratified to note from the reports
of the tobacco and -four exchanges
great improvement in sales of wheat
and tobacco on 'change. There was more
wheat sold to-day than there has been for
more than ten days past, and more tobacco
than for several days previous. This
marked improvement in commercial circles
is doubtless due to the fact that the
deposits in our banks are growing
healthier daily, which now amount to
fully seventy-fve per cent. of what was
usually deposited before the late financial
fiasco.
