Strong, employees of the South Carolina Railroad Company, have patented an invention of great practical benefit. It consists of a rear light for railroad cars, to be at? tached either to the top or bottom of the vehicle. It is an octagon-shaped appa? ratus with colored glasses, attached to the wheels of the car by gearing, which revolves, showing different colors when tho wheels are turning, and remains stationary when they are at rest. The value of the invention lies in the fact that an engineer on the rear of a train having tho new light can tell at a glance whether the preceding train is moving or standing still, because as long as the train moves the light or rather the cover? ing revolves, showjng different colors, and thus enables him to judge whether to follow or check up.

Every effort that it was possible for the office rs to make to avoid this catastrophe has been made in vain. The continual withdrawal of deposits, anel a constant run on the Bank, occasioned by a vague alarm which has existed for several weeks; together with the impossibility of collecting the loans due to the Bank, has rendered this suspension unavoida? ble*. To struggle further was impossible, and could only work injustice to the creditors, to whom a full statement will be made as soon as possible. Respect? fully, HARDY SOLOMON, July 3 President.
