Thousands of words aro apokon aud printad about it, without tolling what it is. Thero s n rocorded story of o lioalthy, robust man who waa talked into siok- ness without any causo for it but tho panio brought on by tho talk. The monoy, the prop- orty, tho industry, and the enterprise 8o nbund- ant in our country twonty days ago, aro all hero now; and,if oll tho bankers in the nation should fail, would still bo horo. Aud, wero thoy increased ton-fold, they could not pul out tho panie-flamo so long ns mon and nowspapors food it. Somo months ngo, tho rich ‘monoy- worshipping devotoes in Now York combined and monopolized an {mmense amount of cur- ronoy, and hiad it Inid asido, in order to depresa tho stocks, 80 a4 to nnawer their speculations.
