Tho Iciest Ea top eau papers don tain what appears to bo rather lo?se details of the recent release of the nun at Cracow, in Polish Austria, in oonneotion with which, it will be remembered, there were tumults and exoiting demonstrations, as lately reported in the Atlantic cable de Satone*. From these reporta it i8 learn that the nam? ol the nun waa Barbara Ubryk, and the extraordinary statement is made that she had been incarcerated twenty-one years, though the accounts imply also that she is insane. All the re? ports appear with more or leas coloring. A Vienna paper furnishes tho following account: "On Tuesday, the 20th nit, an anony? mous letter,.in a woman's hand-writing, reached the Criminal Court at Cracow, to the effect that in the convent of the Carmelite bare-footed nuns, one of the order, named Barbara Ubyrk, had been forcibly kept in close confinement in a dark cell for twenty-one years. The vice-president of the Criminal Court, Bitter Yon Antoniewicz, immediately laid this information before a judge of enquiry, who, in company with the pub Ho prosecutor, repaired to the Bishop Von Galecki, with the request to permit them to enter the convent, which was granted. A judge visited the convent and found in a cell a half-naked, half-in? sane woman, who, at the unaccustomed view of light, the outer world, and hu? man beings, folded her hands and im? plored: 'I am hungry, have pity on me; give me meat (fleisch) and I shall be obe? dient.'' There was very little in the cell. The judge instantly ordered the nun to be olothed, and went himself for Bishop Graleoki. The bishop was deeply moved, and, turning to the assembled nans, he vehemently reproached them for their inhumanity. 'Is this,' he said, 'what you call love of your neighbor? Is it thus that you propose to enter the king? dom of Heaven?' The nuns ventured to excuse their conduot, but the bishop would not . hear them. 'Silence,1 he ex? claimed, 'away, out of my sight.' "Thc father confessor, Piankiewicz, an old priest, who was present, dared to ob? serve that the ecclesiastical authorities were aware of this scandal, whereupon the bishop denied his assortier:, and at once suspended the father confessor, and also the superioress, who is descended from an old honorable Polish noble fami? ly. The bishop ordered nun Barbara Ubryk to be brought, into a clean cell, and there to be dressed and nursed, which the lady superior obeyed very re? luctantly. When the unhappy nun was led away, she asked anxiously whether she would he brought back to her grave, and when asked Why she had been im? prisoned, she answered: 'I have broken the vow of chastity, but,' pointing with a fearfully'wild gesture, and in great ex? citement to the sisters, 'they are not angels.' The ladysuporior declared that Barbara Ubryk waa kept in close con? finement since 1648 by order of the phy? sician, because of ber unsound mind. On : account of tho importance of the case, the Attorney General has taken the matter, in. hand. The exasperation of the people knows no bounds. It is stated that the bishop intends to dissolve the convent". The London Times, commenting on the case, thinks that the declaration of the nun iu regard to her broken vow may have been the effect of her mad new. A Vienna correspondent of one of the London journals f urniahes the following in regara to the tumult that followed the release of tho nun Barbara Ubryk: /'The,knowledge of the affair began to spread abroad, and create a sensation throughout tqe whole town. On Friday morning, hundreds of people had assem? bled before the convent, smashed all the windows, and crying 'Away with the nunBP,had already broken into the inte? rior, when a body of soldiers arrived in time to protect thom. On Saturday, the same thing was repeated, in spite of ad? jurations pf the papers to the people to wait calmly. By the evening, two de-, taohmeute of soldiers had been . called i out-for the mob, which had swelled to 4.000 people, after doiug what more mis? chief it could to the Carmelite convent, weut off to attack that of the Jesuits and that of tho Franciscans. It was a criti? cal hour for the whole monastio orders of Cracow. Tho Jesuit rector was in? sulted, many Jesuits wounded with stones, and every pane of glass in tho monastio house waa brokeu to pieces. Por these manifestations of their indig? nation, au immense- number of peoplo have been arrested, but a large petition has been sent up to the Town Council to remove tho Jesuits and Carmelites out of Cracow. "Far into Sunday morning, the.dis? turbances were still goiug on. Later in tho day, the Lady Superior and h or as? sistant were takeu uudor a military escort to be kept in ward, in order to appeaso the people. Soldiers, however, still pa? trol the town." A physician walking out with a friend of his said to him, "Let us avoid that pretty little woman you seo thero on tho loft. She knows mc, and casts on me looks of indignation. I attended her husband." "Ah! I seo; yon had tho misfortune to despatch him." "Un tho contrary," repliai! tho doctor, "I saved him." A party ha? sprang np in Tennessee, -vb i eli proposes to r?pudi?t o the 20,000, OOO Stato debt contracted under the Brownlow administration. Emerson Etheridge is a warm supporter of this movement. Six mammoth ice-houses, at Crystal Lake, forty miles North of Chicago, were entirely destroyed by fire on Wednesday. Gov.

The human organization is a delicate piece of mechanism, and requires as much intelligent care and watchfulness to koop it in order, as aro re? quisito in tho management of the most com? plicated combination of levers, wheels and pinions. At this season of tho year the body is pecu? liarly sensitive, because it is greatly weakened and relaxed by tho continuous heat. Tho skin, in summer, with its millions of peres wido open, ?B a very different sort of tegument from tho compact fibrous covering which it becomes under tho action of the winter's cold. Tho muscles, too, are comparatively flaccid, the nerve? tremulous, tho blood poor, and tho wholo frame less capablo of enduring fatigue and resisting disease, than in cool weather. These indications of a depressed condition of tho vital forces aro so roany unmistakable hints that naturo needs reinforcing. Ordinary stimulants will not effect this ob? ject. They inflame and excite, but do not strengthen. Thc only preparation which can bo depended upon to impart st annual vigor to the system, and enable it to enduro tho ordeal of tho heated term without giving wav under thopreseure, is HOSTETTER'8 STOMACH BITTERS, a tonio and correctivo so pure, so harmless, so utterly free from the drawbacks which render many of t ho powerful astringents employed in medical practico moro dangerous than the ailments they aro employed to euro, that it may be administered without fear to the feeblest foniale invalid,or the moBt delicate child. Tho cathartic and alterative vegetable ingredients, which are combined with thoso of a tonio naturo in its composition, koop the bowels moderately free and perfectly regular, while the work of invigoration is going on. Tho finest blood depnrents which the herbal kingdom affords arc also among its compo? nents, so that it recruits, purifies and regu? lates the system simultaneously.

Md._May 6 ly ' A Card-Southern L.1?C lniorunte Com? pany, Atlanta Department. To Ute People of South Carolina : The above Company was organized in 1866, in consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled success of the enterprise has forced several of these companies to restore their Southern policies, from the fact that they could not operate in our midst without the ap? pearance of honesty. We keep all our money at home to build up our impoverished country-every dollar of premium being safely invested in the State from which it ?B derived. The institution is purely Southorn, and hence should appeal with great force to the patriotism and sympa? thy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to make war on other companies, but to exhibit tho special advan? tages offered by this purely Southern Compa? ny-founded on patriotism and solid wealth. Ita ratio of assets to liabilities-the true test of a company's strength, is second to nono on this continent-being nearly 300 to 100. Whenever and wherever we have presented the claims of this Company, it has not only enlisted tho sympathies of our people, but has also secured their hearty co-operation. We have socurcd 500 policies in Soxth Carolina since the 10th of February. Wo number among our Diroctore Gen. Wado Hampton and Col. Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well known to every citizen of South Carolina. Wo appeal personally to tho people of South Carolina to assist in pushing forward this deservedly popular Southern institution. J.
