Kinara, Newberry. Samuel Drouthitt, Greenville C. H. Wm.-Moore, Abbeville C. ir. Julina Poppe, Anderson C. H. England and France. We make the following extracts from the English papers brought ont by the Scotia. They all seem to look with interest to the action of France in the contest. The London Times, of the 14th, has the following: In spite of the different causes in? cessantly at work on the tide of hu? man events, there is still obviously a singular tendency in history tx> repeat itself in its details. Whenever it happened that the "Holy Eximan" or German Empire, either owing to or? ganic weakness in its head, or to the ambition of its members, or, finally, to the social and moral dissolution of its body, was divided against itself in other words, whenever there was war in Germany-the contest hardly ever failed to extend to Italy; it j hardly ever failed to lead to the more or less immediate intervention of France. Only two days ago there seemed to be every probability of a repetition of this old phenomenon. It depended on the will of one man j whether or not wc were to see a re? hearsal of the horrors of tho Thirty or of tho Seven Years' War, con? densed within a narrower lapso of time it might be, but with an inten? sity proportionate to that very limit? ation. So far as the belligerents themselves wero concerned, the die, to all appearance, was cast. The Prussian Cabinet called upon tho Italian Government to adhere to tho terms of their mutual agreement. It rejected as inadmissible au armistice based simply on tho cession of Vene? tia, and insisted on its right to conti? nue the struggle till Austria was com? pelled to submit to the demands of both powers. For her own part, Italy testified her readiness-nay, eagerness-to acquit herself of her duty as a faithful ally, and hostilities were all the time pursued on both sides without relaxation. A Prussian detachment, 6,000 strong, under Gen? eral Mulbe, was close upon the gates of Prague. The main armies of Prussia were advancing in three co? lumns on Olmutz, Brunn and Iglau, and the central one had established its headquarters at Czemahora, three German miles from Brunn, while its vanguard was said to have already reached Znaym. Meanwhile, on their right, the Prussians, after rout? ing the Bavarians at Kissingen, were pressing upon them at Schwein flirt, and, further West, they were threat? ening the position of the Federal army in the neighborhood of Frank? fort. South of the Alps, Cialdini was pushing forward from Bovigo, across the Adige, up to Padua, whore an Austrian force was supposed to bo awaiting him, and where an engage? ment seemed imminent. Tho King was reported to have proceeded from his headquarters on tho Oglio to Fer? rara, probably with a view to move forward the army under the com ? manu of La Marmora to the support of Cialdini's operations. Telegrams from Milan announced that two Ita? lian divisions belonging to the King's command had entered Tyrol on their way to Trent, while the Italians had obtained some trifling advantages in the Upper Valtellina. Such was and is tho perspective position of the belligerents, such the very plain determination of the allies fio follow up their advantage, and allow no respite to their enemy. On the other hand, it. seemed os if tho Emporor Napoleon had come to an end of all his pacific exertions. Tho mission of Prince Napoleon .to Italy had been countermanded, and the French squadron of the Mediterra? nean was fitting out for sea. Two ships left Tonlon on Wednesday evening, and the rest were to follow yesterday morning. Their destina? tion was Venice. Considerable ac? tivity, we were told, was also observ? able in the harbor of Cherbourg, no less than in the military commands both on thc Eastern and Southern frontier. Notwithstanding, however, tho large scale of these alleged prepa? rations, the fiat of the great arbitra? tor had not gone forth, and there was a strong disinclination to believe that he would proceed to the very extre? mities of an "armed mediation." The London Post says: * * It is easy to speculate after the event, but there is nothing to warrant the assumption that Austria would have yielded any of her German rights in a conference. As Lord Stanley put it, the problem in cases of this kind is how, without taking action in the quarrel, to mediate effectively. Practically, "armed me? diation," properly so-called, is barely {>ossible, inasmuch as one of the bell? igerents would take advantage of it; and mediation in anticipation of war -that is, mediation which is positive and to bo enforced-must also in the result como to the same end. That, therefore, which was pressed upon France in tho first instance might have brought about the very "armed mediation" which is actually depre? cated. At the least, this is exceedingly un? fair. It is irot judging our neigh? bors as we would wish to be ourselves judged. Neither in word nor ir? deed is there, so far as we know, any jus? tification for the supposition that France is shaping her course without regard to public interests. She is as entitled to pay primary attention to her own interests as we are, and as all countries are ; but as to the ac? quirement of territory, if that had been the object of the French Go? vernment, there was a nearer road to its attainment. Prussia and Italy will eventually, it may be assumed, rectify their frontiers, and, as a mat? ter of right, they have no claim what ever on tbe provinces to be annexed. I They havo not as yet even- the title which suocess in war gives. But the .legitimate answer to misgivings with respect to territorial re-arrangements is, that, be they what they may, to all and each of them the great powers of Europe must be consenting par? ties. It is not as if France had, as was equivocally recommended, taken it upon herself to restrain the three belligerent powers, which, if success? ful, would have amounted to arbitra? tion, and if unsuccessful, to an ex? tension of the war. Lord Clarendon, it will be recollected, expressly gut jd ed England against being committed to that policy, and Lord Clarendon has been rightly commended for hit discretion. It is a step that, if taker at all, should be taken in a form t( constrain immediate acquiescence; il is, in fact, a measui*e of coercion, and must be considered in that light. Tho theory may be excellent, but it is 'difficult to realize its intention Why, remains to be discovered; bu' it is not through selfishness; for, a Lord Stanley remarked, "mere self isbn ess does not pay;" nor is it bo cause "the pomp and circumstance o glorious war" have lost their powe over the nations. Only by searching tho hearts of Governments can th reason be accurately assigned. It i enough, however, to know that, be i what it may, there is no alternativ between periodical contention-con fiicts like that which, ten days ago raged over the broad field of Sadow -and the confidence and good under standing that are frequently, if im perceptibly, impeded in the way Lor< Stanley indicated. The London News has the follow ing: It would be oasy to collect fror tho telegrams of this morning sign which, taken by themselves, rnigii well seem to indicate a most seriou extension of the present war. A tho materials o? a conflagration ai there-Prussia and Italy united an resolute, Franco bent on armed m< diation, Cialdini in the heart of V< netia, tho King of Prussia befoi Brunn, and the first, ships of th French iron-clad fleet on their way t Venice. It would be idle to extern ate the gravity of these symptom Nevertheless, taking a broad view < all the facts, we are disposed to thin that, on tho whole, there is moi hope of containing the war within i present limits, and of bringing aboi geace-not perhaps, immediate!; ut befGro vory long-than there hi been any day since the Moniteur ai nounced the cession of Venetia und circumstances which have great! complicated the original strife. V seem to iiave surmoun+ed one di ficnlty which was present to eve: mind. It has been very common assumed that the French Oover ment, through some peculiarity in i position, was unable to mediate und ordinary conditions, and that it hi no choice but to obtain the insta and fnll acceptance of its reeoinine dations or take part in tho war. Tl: supposition, so prejudicial to t high political reputation of the El peror Napoleon, is happily disprove Prussia and Italy have felt compel! to make their acceptance on the t j m?stico subject to conditions requir I in the interest of their respecti States, and these conditions tho French Government ?F occupied in ex? amining and discussing. The French mediation encounters difficulties; but these lie in the nature of the contest, and the Emperor is not the man to shrink from fairly meeting them. Speaking only of 4<he present, wo must acknowledge that, we do not see in the acts of the French Govern-' ment any signs of that precipitancy which the nopes of some and the fears .of others nave suggested as cer? tain to characterize his action to? wards the belligerents. He has as yet done nothing to preclude the par? ties to the war from availing them? selves of his friendship to effect a rapprochement. The conditions of peace are still under discussion, and some misapprehensions have been cleared away. Prussia, it is now seen, is not fighting for thc destruc? tion of Austria, but only to compel a recognition of its plan of reconstitut? ing the German nation. Italy is compelled to assert its claim to be treated as an independent power, possessing the faculty of making al? liances and demanding recognition; Austria fights for honor. It is proper to believe that the policy of the Em? peror of the French is comprehensive enough to allow room for the adjust? ment of these dispositions, which he must have foreseen when he proposed his mediation, and at present wo per? ceive no evidence to the contrary. The despatch of the iron-clad fleet to Venice, regarded in itself and apart from the light which Austrian jour? nalists are so eager to shed upon it, might be confined within the limits of pacific mediation. But at present it has not taken place. The French journals of lost evening treat the action of their Government os strictly maintained within the sphere of di? plomacy. Another day may change all this; but such at present appears to be the political situation. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Bourne, a well-known citizen of Pittsburg, Pa.: PITTSBUBO, May 10, 18C0. Messrs. Ilostetter <fc Smith-GENTLEMEN: During a visit to tho West last fall, I con? tracted chills and fever, which brought mo to my bed, and finally terminated in typhoid fever, and confined mc to my room for several months, during which time I was physically so prostrated that I almost despaired of ever recovering my health - having entirely lost my appetite, for days not being ablo to cat a morsel; added to which I was much distressed with a reeling sensation in my head, and passed many sleepless nights-all from debility caused by my prostrate condition, brougnt about by the fever. At this stage of my condi? tion, a friend recommended me to uso your Stomach Bitters; but being morally opposed to tho uso of stimulants in any form, I at first docbued, but afterwards yielded mj prejudices, and, after taking tho medicine for several weeks, as directed, mv appetite returned, and with it I am rapidly regain? ing my former strength and vigor. My sleep ("from tho loss of which I bad suffer? ed much) has never been better than it is now, and tho reeling sensation, before alluded to, has entirely left rae. Mv howels. which were much constipated and irregu? lar, are now quite natural, and, in fact, J am quite glad to say that I feel myself u new man, and tender you this testimonia! of my appreciation of j our valuablo pre ?taration m ordor that others suffering as ] lave may avail themselves of its virtues which prejudice prevented mo from enjoy? ing for so long a period. I may also adc that my physician, nfter seeing tho beneti cial effect your biUei^ had ou me, recom? mended that I use them regularly. Yours very respectfully, E.
