Lasas Bias ?sTicrr rjc BBOOXL??, Nsw Y OBX-EXCITE MIST ABD IJVXSTIQATIOM.-The New York papera contain foll accounts of an? other bank sensation, from which we take the following: 0. li waa stated on Tass day that the accounts of Wm. 0. Baahmore, President of the Atlan? tic National Bank, of Brooklyn, who was killed by tho reoent-Loog Island Railroad slaughter, showed, ? deficit of nearly two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A slight rna waa made cm the bank by uneasy depositors, but later in the day then* fears were allayed by the direct? ors, wno 'pledged themselves to carry on the boxiness of tho bank. The deficit proceeds from advances made to a contractor on securi? ties whose account is largely overdrawn, and also from the purchase ot real estate by Rush? more in hi i own name. The deeds for the par? chase of this property were put away in the vaults of lue bank, and were marked "To Be cure the bank." . The New York Tribune says that Mr. Rush? more may have intended to preserve the bank unharmed by those parchases, bat as the facts stand, the property belongs to the Rushmore estate, and the money that paid for it is sus? pected to-have belonged to the bank. The Tribune also says : "OB Tuesday after the death of Mr. Rush? more Mr. George S. Puffer, the acting presi? denta discovered that certain discrepado ea ex? isted in the accounts, and found that there was a deficiency of the. securities of from $100,000 to 1600.000. ?p to that time it was believed that the bank was m a b hrh ty prosperous condition; that the capialof $000,000 was secure; thats surplus ot 178000 was on hand, a id that 185,000 of the earned money was available for the Joly dividend. Wheo the discovery ass made that the capital was reduced from a quar? ter to half thc original amount, the fact could scarcely be realised- The more diligent and constant the scrufiny, however, the more cer? tain it beet.me that the bank had Busttmed a serious loss through the mismanagement of the ex-president.a -John Mit oh el, m bis paper, speaking of spiritualism eave i '"For oar own part we give it up, not feeling the slightest interest in it either pro or con.

AN IMPORTANT MOVEMENT. K migra . ton ox* Faaetory Operatives Crom Kn|l?nrJ. The LOE don Times says : Ever since the cotton famine caneed bj the American war, emigration bas been more or lees generally advocated by the -factory opera? tives of Lancashire M the crand panacea for the en is of abort time and low war*??, but nn til recently no definite system was propounded nor any general etlort made to try the experiment. The idea slumbered until the recent successful effort of the Prestan millowners and manufac? turers to redone wages again evoked it. Gra? dually the scheme was brought to the surface once more-Ant in Preston, then in Black? burn, and now it ia nursed by nearly every factory operative in North ana East Lanca? shire, Nearly one hundred spinners and mindere, with their wives and families, have left Pres? ton, chiefly for the United Stales, since the re? cent unhappy dispute hagan, and eight more .families will have Preston tor liverpool, to de? part for the same destination in the steamer Manhattan. Mr. Henry Davis, a gentleman now in London as the agent of certain firms in New Yo; k for the engagement of operatives here in various branches of industry, has been invited to Preston by the committee of the Spinners' Association, to consider a plan for a more numerous deportation of their members, and he bas replied that he will visit Preston for that purpose in avShort time. In Blackburn still more energetic measures are on foot with the same object. Subscrip? tions are largely collected among the power loom weavers, anl their executives age pre King to send off as many of them as poesi , and as soon may be, upwards of one thous? and having already expressed their desire to leave for America. About twenty of these ope? ratives will depart from Blackburn during tbe present month. The Spinners' Association in that town have voted five hundred pounds ster ling from t he anion funds for the same purpose, and the ordinary weekly levy per member has been doubled for the sole purpose of augment? ing the Emigration Fond. The increased levy will take effect immediately after the Whitsun? tide holidays. Arrangements have already been made to send off between airty and sev? enty members of the society, and more will follow them as the fonds come in. Some fami? lies most, before this, have reached America, and on Tuesday last another batch of emi? grants took their departure for the United States. In Darweri, also, the idea prevails thai "lt would be far better to send people to a coun? try whare work ia plentiful, and where they are abundantly paid for their labor." The no? tion is genera] among the operatives there that the manufacturing trade is leaving this country altogether; and it isa fart that this waa one of the reasons given an J accented why the operatives should not strike against the recent reduction of wages there, which, it waa urged, waa.0Diy enforced in order to "kill the strike iiit Preston," by disabling them from con? tributing to the support of the operatives there. In Darwen there are 18,665 looms, and it has been agreed to rame an emigration fond by a levy of ld. per loom per week, to raise ?5618s. 9d., which will be sufficient, it is esii mated, to send five persons per week to America, "giving them ?10 each to start them across the Atlantic." The present ?nd projected drain of the best cotton-workers from the manufacturing dis? tricts of Lancashire is undoubtedly a matter that ought to receive the immediate considera? tion of the employers? who,, if it be not check? ed, will certainly at some future time, perhaps not very lar distant, be placed in a position of great embarrassment. A NOBBY WEDDING OUTFIT. otk Belle Gets H aura ed- | ? ?nd Ita? Fr?senla. The New York Sun gives the following de ?criphon of a ooetiy wedding outfit: Through the courtesy "of ? friend we have >een peu snit ted to. fgamioe the jxoutaAau. r~?* )f which wa? imported from Pans, of a belle of dadison Avenue who is about to be led to the lymeueal altar by a Beaton gentleman of high looial distinction. All the articles and dress nat ?rial sent from Paris were done up in paok Sa elegantly embroidered, and edged with encieDneslace, each package being enclosed n a substantial caa? co* straw. A package of landkerchiefs like ooo we ba in quality, each tearing the monogram of the young bride in lew and unique designs, won our admiration, md we were struck with several Bets of laces jf exquisite pattern. The bride's dress, made by the court dress? maker, ia of white aat{n of rare magnificence, with an entire overdress of point lace, which ia looped ap at the aides with large satin ro lettes and orange blossoms.

The short ikirt is turned over at the back and fastened rit h a anal) bunob ef pink and wbite feathers, loots to correspond, of pink silk, with high rink French heels, were shown us, which we admired as a matter of course. Another dress of blue corded silk is trim tied with two point appl que- flounces, with leadings of peacock's feathers, beautifully ar auged. The dress is made with a corsage cat mite decollete, with berths of applique and aita of peacock's feathers.

A reception dress ?I gray satin is beautifully trimmed with tbe lew shade of green in small puffj arranged round the bottom of the skirt, with a bow of ;ray and green between each puff. All the dresses we have described are of the icbeet and most expensive quality and mate ial, and made m accordance with the advanced 'aris fashions. Among the items were twelve tatra of shoes, No. 2; six dozen assorted gloves, our dosen handkerchiefs, six pairs slippers, lix round hats, four bonnets, four parasola, two ace shawls, three lace parasols, two India ibawle, twelve dozen paits of hose, twenty tight evening, dinner and street dresses, five iloaks and sacks, and cartloads of other articles if wearing apparel. Tho bridesmaids' dresses-six in number vere sent over at the same limo and have been unseated to the misses who are to officiate on he occasion. They are of white corded silk, nth long trains, and trimmed with a beavy uching of white satin around the edge of he skirt. The overdresses are of fine white nile elegantly trimmed with Valenciennes nserting, edged with wide lace, and looped ip on each side by a vine of tea roses and rads. The father of the bride bas already given his laughte his prosent, which is a fine brown itone house on one of the fashionable thor? oughfares, elegantly furnished throughout.

T?e Sitnation Described by eva Impar? tial Europfan Conealar Oflleer- An? nexation to tete United States inc only 8 al vatic* fin* Cuba. The folio win g we extract from a letter writ, ten by a-Europe m con en lar officier toa friend: MAFZ?MLLO, April 30.-I am sorry to eay that I am not able to send yon any (rood news from here. Thinge have, since yon left ns, gone from bad to worse, and I fear that the end is still very distant. The insurgents have retired from this vicinity, at least in snob lan. e numbers as yon used to see them dorins your stay here; it is said that they have partly gone to Puerto Principe, and partly to the moun? tains, but as there still remain small parties of them round atout here, the country is as in? secure as ever, and nobody can go out BI J e the Umita of the town. The troops crom here and Bay arno make now and agaio excursions in the country, but not in smaller columns than three hundred to five hundred men, and someti nee more. The government has only garrisoned this town, Bajamo and Jigaani; al) the rest of the country is open to the insurgents, who, as soon as the troops come near to them, run away with the women and children, so tbat the troops only tire themselves marching alter the insurgeais," with no other result but finding one or other stray wretch, who is immediately shot. The insurgents burn a good deal, and ivhat they leave is burnt by the troops. The troops burnt Le. demajagua, then Buenavista; then the insurgents burnt 1 ran quail lida d and the cane fields of Bta. Gertrudis; then the troops burnt the houses and works of tnis estate. Los Letreros, ?1 Rosario, &c. Besides the above mentioned, the insurgents have burnt Baise, Gu'sa, Bay raucos and Yara; the troops have burnt Elbaooa, Savana La Mar, Canto, &c. ; and between tbe two, they have borut ail the small estates and bouses in the country, so that now everything is in rains. Whatever has escaped the flames has been owing entirely to a miracle, as baa happened to Stn Franco and La Esperanza, wbere only some of the cane fields and small outhouses have been burnt, bat the engine houses, caring houses and borracoons are still intact. Of coane the Spaniards feel confident that they will gain, and soon, but I am not of this opinion, and believe that if they do gain, it will hist a good while still ; and if tbe revolu? tion should continue spreading towards the west, I am sore they will have to abandon the ieland, and that before many months. The only salvation for the island of Cuba is annexation to the United 8tates ; and if snob does not speedily take place, the island will go to the dogs, whichever party of the two here contending should gain the victory. FOREIGN ITEMS. -Advice by a writer in tbe Paris "Journal Amusant:" "If a lady says to yon, 'I can never love yon,' wait a little longer; all hope is not lost. Bat if she says, 'No one bas more sincere wiahes for your happiness than L' take your hat." -Russia and France, according to the Ger? man Journals, will soon come into serions col? lision, in consequence of the condemnation of the French Consol at Odessa to a week's im? prisonment by the correctional tribunal of that oity. The Consol, as President of the French Benevolent Society, badexcloded a Russian from a ball given in Odessa. -A Englishman says, "the fair young Eng? lish girl ot the past-the ideal of womanhood, of home, birth and breeding-has passed away, and ie replaced by a creature who dyes her hair and paints her face, aa the first article of her personal religion; whose sole idea of 1 fe is pie laure and luxury, and whose dress ia. the object of such intellect aa she possesses." -Atthe race-course, ex-Queen Isabella went, ing-room, wbere she stumbled oa the Dake of Madrid (Don Carlos) and wife.

The Times, ot May 24 tb, idvances the belief that Mr. Motley will make io fresh proposals, and asserts that the only tpprehension of disagreement as to the terms >f settlement arises from the fact that the pol ticians of the United States exhibit no dispo? sition to separate the material from the senti nental grievances. The Times contends that be alleged injuries arising Irom the Queen's ^reclamation of neutrality were purely acci? dental, and that the British Government can iot be held responsible for the sympathies of he English people with the South. It con? dados : "Let no misdirection of sympa' L;. but settled reflection and CDOI communings of ttcsciecoe settle the question; and on both tides let the alleged injuries bo measured and tppraised by the proper tribunals. That course nay open a way for a settlement of the diffi :ulties, and we shall be rejoiced to find that ;he Americans have discovered it." The Star [John Bright's organ) asserts "that the neu rali by proclamation was a real benefit to the S?rth, and argues that, while general society n England favored the South, the laboring slaases undoubtedly sympathized with the american Government." The Standard (high Tory) is excessively bitter, and boldly ac (nowledges that it sympathized with the South, and still entertains the same feelings. THE ll RS T DI VORCE CASES IN 80 UTH CAROLINA. The Greenville Enterprise sayB : Three petitions for divorce came up for hear? ns botore Jadge Orr on Friday last. Two of ihe applications were from the wives of wicked lusbands, one from the husband against thc vile. The first case was from a lady, Mrs. flary E. Cameron, residing in Charleston, for a livorce from her husband Robert Cameron, in Philadelphia, from whom she was, by hi? cruei ?y, compelled to scparato several years ago; he laving, also, since the tepi?rationf unlawfully Harried another woman iu Pennsylvania, with whom he is now living. The unlawful wile, ou implication, furnished an affidavit, stating that .he husband represented himself as a vtidow n*j ard so abe married him in ignorance of the sxistenco of the lawful wife Judge Orr, after J earilier the petition and evidence, reauily granted the order for divorce in this case, on notion of Perry & Perry, solicitors for the po Litioner. The other parties all roside in this countv. Ehe applicants were represented by Messrs. Sullivan & Stokes. Judje Orr granted the irder of divorce in the case of Mrs. Amanda C. Linderman from tbe husband, Francis M. Lon lerman, who, it was proved, had cruelly treat? ed her and had married or taken up with an? other woman. Io the case of the petition of fohn W, Walker for a divorce from his wife, nary J. Walker, on the allegation of her deser? tion some six or eight years ago, and her vio ent temper and abuse which occasioned it, ind the hopelessness of a reunion, tbe udge ? as cot satisfied that he ought to grant be husband a divorce, but i nt. ma ted to the jounael tbat ha would farther consider tbe cu so. It seems to as that oar judges oaght to re? strict the granting of divorces to tht oueBorip ural josufioation indicated by the Judge ol all .he earth, in Matthew 5: 82. Thoa far the mses actually decided by Judge Orr appear to :cme within that role. OUR REL A. TI (XXSL WITH J. KG LAND. Tlie Folley of the Preeident-Be Deter? minti to Manage the Matter Himself. A Washington telegram of the 26th, to the New York Evening Post, says : The rumors current here in regard to our relations with England-to the effect that Pres? ident Grant is engaged in framing a m ore en? ergetic foreign policy-are considered by the best informed persons as merely sensational. It ie true that General Butler advisee a war policy, and that Mi. Sumner is in favor of re? opening negotiations with England, bul Presi? dent Grant, notwithstanding all the obstacles which are thrown in his way by intriguing pol? iticians, as well as by threats of senatorial in? terference and dictation, has taken the manage? ment of th s difficult question into bis own bands. In doing so he feels that he is carry? ing out the will of the people, and that bia conree will be approved by them. lt is ascertained from the most trustworthy sources thai the President considere that Eng? land established a precedent during the late war which cannot be regardai, otherwise than exceedingly favorable to the Dm ted States, lt is therefore useless to ask England to retrace her steps eo long as ehe considers herself in the right, and with nothing to fear from the Uni ted States in case ehe should go to war with any other powerT The President believes that thees are mat? ters which concern England rather than the Unites! States, bat that on the other hand, if England sees that abe was wrong, and that the ?ams neutrality principles she applied to the rn i ted States would prove very disastrous if j applied to herself in some future erne*gency, then it is for her to open again the so-called Alabama matter and make propositions for new negotiatione. In this condition the question stands for the present, and the President sees no necessity whatever just now for pursuing a more ener? getic foreign policy io reference to England. In connection with this subject it has be? come known that several ossie dispatches were recently sent to leading officials in England by Englishmen here, and tb? answers thereto say tbat the bitter feelings which at first exulted after the receipt of Mr. Sumner's speech ie be? ginning to disappear, and it is anticipated here m officials circles that the noient excitement wbich has existed in Enprftid Will aoon sub? side. ' f A gool deal of importance ls also attaobed here to the reception given Minister Wash borne by the French Exrperor. For some months previous to the departure of Mr. Ber tbsmy, the Frenoh Minister, from the United States, the relations between France and this country were becoming very friendly, and it j was understood then that the appointment of | Minister Washburne would be very well re? ceived by Napoleon, who would regard tbe sending of a personal friend of the President's to his ojurt as an act ol good wi IL It appears from the report of Mr. Wash buraes official reception that our relations with that power are very sxtisfacorj. These manifestions of good will, between the two conn tries demonstrate the fact that England will stand perfectly alone in her controversy with this country. AFFAIRS UT THE STATIS. Bom ter. The Sumter News has reason to believe that Johnson (colored; bas been elected State senator from Sumter ''County,'' and the other Radical candidates, judge of Probate and coroner. This result was generally ex? pected. The same paper says : "We hear discour? aging accounts of the young cotton. As late as last Thursday mcrmntr, the 20th instant, frost was seen in this vicinity, the effect of which, though scarcely perceptible otherwise, is to chees the growth of the young and ten? der plants, and cause their continued dying. Other crops, although small and backward, are more promising than cotton.*' .Marlbordf. rra?* n?M.?ii??ilu januLiw?.. -?r-"wri- tSn J storm of Saturday last says : "A number ot ] trees were blown down, fences destroyed, and serious injury done to corn and cotton, many of Oar planters being compelled to replant three-fourths of their entire erip. The last of the fruit prospect bas also been blasted. A wagon belonging to Mr. A. J. Bowe, of this place, waa smashed into smitherons by the falling of a tree; the horse that was bitched in the wagon at the tine barely escaped being oiushed." Ou the evening of the 21st instant, "at about 9 o'clock, fire was discovered in the gfnhouae of Mrs. Ann C. Crosland, in Bennettsvllle, which increased so rapidly that it waa impos? sible to extinguish the flames. The house and all of the wood work about the gin were com? pletely destroyed. The cotton screw near by was saved with great difficulty, being about one hundred yards from the houses appurte? nant to the dwelling. The fire extended no further. It is believed to be the work of an incendiary." Greenville. . The Enterprise says : "The cotton crop seems to have been the only serions Bufferer from tho cool wet weather that bas prevailed this spring, down to the present week. Cotton has been killed by frost and died from cold weather. Wheat, oats and corn are all doing well enough. Thoa far, the wheat crop is more promising than it has been for several years in the upper part of this State, and the prospect of drier weather, now present, is en? couraging as to the Anal success of tm's impor? tant crop. "On Friday night last, abott twelve o'clock, Are was discovered in the kitchen of Mr. John Markley, situated on Augusta-street, three four tba of a milo from Greenville Courthouse, near the depot. Before the alarm could bo raised, the building waa enveloped m flames. It was situated near thc dwelling house, but the latter bavin? a substantial tin roof, whiob, combined with the exertions of the citizens and fl -omen, prevented the spreading of tho fire further than tho smoke-house, which also caught bot was extinguished. The kitchen, with its contents, was entirely consumed. The loss sustained by Mr. Markley was between eight hundred and a thousand dollars, un? covered by insurance." Spf rial Wets.

Its proprietors have made the above prepa? ration, after years of careful study and sitting, and are now reaping the reward claimed by this valu? able sp?cifie, and which they so richly merit. It ls the only preparation of the kind that is re? liable in all case*, and it therefore demands the attention of the afflicted. May 29_pac_ 49- R OS AD ALI S1-DB. F.
