Financial Panic. Last Friday was a very ,Aexciting dayjn monetary circles, and one that will be long remembered fur the culmination of one of the wildest speculations in gold, that was ever inaugurated, and the consequent failures in New York, which exceed in magnitude anything ever known. There has long been a strong combination 'in New York to force up the price of gold, and they succeeded, on Thursday, in putting it up to 144. Friday morning it opened at 150, and under the wildest excitement it was run up te 165. Hut the matter was overdone. A broker who said he represented the well known firm of Smith, Gould & Martin was the chief buyer, and the failure of his principals to sustain him in his contracts, together with the announcement that the Government would sell $1,000,000 of gold on Saturday brought down this immense fabric of gold speculation upon the devoted heads of Wall street speculators with such a crash as few t.f them were able to stand. The price fell rapidly with slight reactions to 133, being a decline of 32 per cent, within four or five hours. The following are the most prominent firms which are represented as having

failed; Smith, Gould & Martin; William Heath; Galloway, Hunter & Co.; Hoyt & Gardiner; P. II. Williams; Cleare, McClure I & Co , Ward & Co., and C. C. Parks. Also, William P. Bel Jam ran away.

' ihey have not failed, aud are conduct) ug their busiuess as usual. Two prominent members of the Gold Board counted up over ninety firms, large and small, that will probaUly fail in case the houses mentioned above are broken. One of them estimated one hundr'.d, all of them engaged in gold brokerage. The prevailing opinion istha,t the darkest hours of the trouble growing out of this ca'.d speculation are jet to come. Banks are fearful of a run -upon, them, and the pai is likely to occur at any moment. Several of the associated banks endeavored to assist tba movement to break the Tenth Nadolol while others came to its relief. The latest news from New York eontiaMes. very gloomy. The Gold Exchange dank has not yet made t settlement. There was a great panic in the stock market, the dec-line being especially heavy in the Yanderbilt stocks. Latest dispatches state that there was a large crowd at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and that there was much indignation expressed against YanDerbilt and 1'isk. Fears are expressed that the Gold Exchange Rank will break, and that the Gold Room will be smashed. More Gold Safes and Bond Purchases. The Secretary of the Treasury has authorized the Assistant Treasurer at "New Yoik to sell $1. 000,000 of gold each Tuesday and Friday till November 1st, commencing last Tuesday; also to purchase $2,000,000 of bonds each Wednesday till November 1st. These sales and purchases arc in addition to the sales and purchases on account of the sinking fund, which will be continued without change of the existing mode. Georgia Politics. Letters have been received from Georgia saying that there is a good prospect of a reunion of the Republican party in that State and a compromise between the Republicans and the Democrats, the result of which will be the adoption of the Fifteeuth Amendment by the State Legislature at its mxt meeting. Already some of the most prominent men of the contending parties have he'd consultation, with a view to secure tbe State to a firm position in the Uniau.

The Hornet. -": It js positively announced by the C&bwr Junta that tbe privateer Hornet bai ' received her armament and stores, and is on her first cruise. She was originally cfeared from Philadelphia for Havana and Liver

pool, but after her seizure and release hq went to Halifax, thence to a point on the Massachusetts coast, where she took guns, supplies and crew. She is Clyde built, and can, under heavy pressure, make fifteen knots per hour. She, has - seven guns, three on each side, and a pivot bow gun, a one hundred pounder Parrott of long range. Her side guns are two thirty-two pounders, two sixty-feight pounders, two grape and case-mate pieces, also 68pounders. Her crew numbers 153 men, sixty of whom are Americans who saw service during our war. She has sixtytwo experienced gunners, and all munitions, boarding hooks and complete paraphernalia. She is a regularly commissioned man of war, commanded by a Cuban, and commission from Ceefpedes. ' Her mission is to capture and destroy Spanish transports and all passenger steamers, engaged on the Cuban coast. .: Everything portends a grand financial crash in New York,, and one worse than that of 1837.

His time'was 1:43, in a single mile dak. The recent gold gambling operations in New York have called from several members of Congress letters declaring their intention to urge forward measures for the immediate resumption of specie payments, as the only way to put a stop to the present opeiutions of tKe Wall street gamblers. A grand barbecue, in honor of the capitalists building the Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad, came off at Allen Spring, D-e Kalb county, Georgia. Five thousand people were present. Speeches were made by Gov. Smith and General Forrest, counsel! ng submission to laws, and welcoming Northern settlers. ' A late Havana letter represents the feeling in that city against Americans, owing to tbe news from Spaiu, to be so inteuse that it is scarcely safe for a citixen of the United States to appear on the streets. Mr. Plumb, the American Consul, acting upon a cipher dispatch from Washington, has packed up the Consular archives, and called a meeting of American residents to consult upon the situation. American houses in Havana are proceeding verv cautiously in the transaction of their business, aud are refusing orders for goods. . The ''principles" of the Democratic party just now are very excellently illustrated by the humorous ballad, of Ha us Rreitmann, in which he sings: , l'ese ish da brincible I holti, , . Ami doge in vicb I run; Dey tab fixed firm and iiaiuutnple Ah te eoui of te 'lernl gun; But if you ton't nlibrove of detn, Hi a so notice rot I I fhnll only je ton hnpy To alder deiu right ufayl Hans is in no favor of "advanced movements.' A carriage containing four ladies was precipitated over a precipice in front of the Clifton House, Niagara Falls, Saturday. The driver and a gentleman belonging to the party, who was seated beside him, eeing that the - carriage roust inevitably go over the bank, sprang off in time tu save themselves. The carriage, with its occupants, fell a distance of fiftyfeet, instantly killing Mrs. Mahala Smith, and so reriously injuring Miss Alary Ann Barlow that she can not recover. Mrs. Fi.-her aud Mm. Tillinghast were severely but not fatally injure!. ; The ladies were all from Providence, Rhode Island. Mrs. Ceneral Rawlins was captured in j Yicksburg by the late Secretary of War. and subsequently became the wife of her captor. It seems that prior to the com mencement of hostilities, the lady went South, in the capacity of governess in one of the best families, and remained thus employed after the war begun, was shut up in Yic-ksburg during the siege of that city by General tirant, and was among those who surrendered. General Rawlins then saw her for the first time. The house occupied by her w&s taken possession of by General Riwlins, the lady still remaining in it. Intercourse and friendly lelatiuus were established, aud soon the

General found that instead of capturing the enemy, the enemy had really captured hfin. The fair lady' went North, and, not Ioor after, the General Followed all ending in the General proffering his heart

and hand, and the -lady accepting the jsanie Items of State News.

Nothing like the excitement of Friday in tbe New York gold market has evor occurred before. .Everything that desperate men could ds to carry their points in speculation was doubtless undertaken, and everywhere intense interest was aroused ns to tbe result of the contest. It is certainly to be hoped that it will nut soon be renewed, but it is likely to be at any time while gold remains merely an article of cooiuierce. Commercial. There is a very interesting revival in progress at the Christian church in Centreville, under tbe leadership of lvev.

The speech will hardly be likely to add extensively to the reputation of the Senator as a m-in of far sighted and sagacious political views.

Tbe excitement ou the Gold Exchange' in New York, last week, which has been full j described in our dispatches, has had no parallel anywhere, or at any time. In the gambling centers of Continental Europe, or in faro banks, such excitement, on a comparatively small scale, i3 usual, but in a great commercial city, in an ioA stitution such as tbe Gold Exchange, organized and conducted ostensibly lor legitimate purposes, and in open day, there has been nothing like it. Another remarkable featuie of this business is that banks acd bankers, men who are intrusted with vast sums of money, aud who by reason of their position, control the finances, and through the finance the entire business, of that great commercial center, aid the chief actors in these scenes; and the most marvelous feature of all is the merchants of New Tork, and the bus iness men of the country, look ou as if they considered these operations legitimate, and the men engaged iu ihciu worthy of confidence. 'lie transactions at the Gold Exchange are simply gambling transactions, more demoralizing, Ui.ore rascally and far more damaging to business and seeiety than transactions that occur under a system prohibited by law. The sporting man who is excluded from society because be is a professional gambler is as much en1 titled to a poMiicn iu society as the men who gamble iu gold. The faro bank, iu fact, is harmless and respectah'e as compared with the New York Gold Board. Tbe ojrations of the former affect mainly those people who patronize it while the operations of the latter affect the business of the whole country. For exam pie: The sales of gorj by speculators on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday aggregated 1,100 000,001). Within a few hours ui a single day (Sunday) 500 .tt)0 Ot.O were swld; yet there is not iu New York city, outride of tbe United Stales Treasury, o-ver S20.0UO,0OU, and the available gold in the whole country does not exceea 521)0, tHJO, 000, in eluding tiuit in tbe Treasury of tbe United biases.

Suppose, therefore, a merchant h-is notes fulling du on Fiiday. payable in gold, to the amount of 1U'J,0')0 O:. Wednesday the price was lii5- On Friday it was 1(10. No man would have an ticipated such an advance. There was no earthly reason why the price should advance, except that it bad hecn manipulated by dark-lantern eonsjiiraturs. Hat the merchant who bought gold ut tho gambler's price, to pay his (lotos, lost $a,0(i). O course gold did not remain at lU'J. It fell 23 per cent, in two hors, and is now below tbe point frotn which it started, but millions of dollars were lost by merchants who had gold iiotC6 falling due pa Wednesday, Thursday or Fiiday lost because unscrupulous men are permitted to gamble io a commodity which affects tb,e business of the wbule country. We do not suppo-o-iho business men of New York will try ta stop this practice. We do not suppuse the banks will set their laces against it, because it is tbe kind of business upon which they thrive or suppose they thrive; but we warn tho merchants and bankers of the West to he careful. The failure of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Cati?p:my, which shook the financial oentefs of tbe world, was caused by New York gamblers -the same class that are now gambling in gold and stocks. Then, as now, Western merchants aud bankers kept their surplus means in New York, because they obtained interest ondepagL's. A lari-'e proportion ot tbe princi pal ttius deposited was lost. ihis lessou has been forgotten, and if the Western people, are not careful we shall have a re currence of the scenes that followed the low s end of the 1 rust Companv. That explosion ut-vnupcu a state or rottenness v.. !. 1 1. . 1 1 1 bank .... ' u" "'" i'f aniicipated, but thc Ludlow class at the time were sound compared with what they are now. The spark will fall some day, and a spark will be sufficient to blow up the whole coucern. We repeat our warning to Western people to look out for the 6afety of their New York deposits, and especially deposits subject to sight draft upon which interest is paid.' The events of last week show what New York is composed of, and the development should be sutiieient to induce our Western business men and bankers to keep their money balances at home.

S) aS5 The world renowned ' house of Messrs", Steinway & Sons, Piano Manufacturers, of East Fourteenth street, c New Yorkr commemorated t the fact , that hey phal reached the unprecedented number Oi "20,000'' of the firm's' make. tSe!r workmen to the nnmbeeovef seven hundred, assembled aud received a magnificent wrought "silk flagTfSui thefirm,"pTetrreti through "MrlThe'ddofe Steinway, tbe chief of the manufacturing department. The workmen responded. Mr. Wm. Steinway, tbe financial chief f thefirm,-iade an appropriate speech, when -thc regiment of well drilled and. skillful- .work nent proceeded to Jones Wood, wher they speaV the day in true German republican .style;. What is particularly worthy of jMticehejt. is the fact that the greatest harnaany -and good feeling has always existed r bet wee o employed and employers, whiebaeeonts, in a great measure, for the wonderful iuxkt cess of the house in producing what . i acknowledged to be -the best instrument j an a facto red io.ibe world. This harnie -nious action has made the firm princes ia wealth, while it ha placed, hundreds -of their workmen beyond tke toch of want.
