The Dane and German news is unimporsant.

There is considerable mystery about the
steamer Yeddo, which left Bordeaux on the 22d
nominaly for Amsterdam. Her arrival at the
latter port is reported, and nothing certain is
known Of her Whereabouts. The Opnone Ma

WATER FOR INDIANAPoLIs.-Dr. Brown con
tributes the following to the public prints:
| am glad to see that YOU call attention to the
subject of a supply OF pure water Tor the use of
the city.
That the water now in use in the more densey
populated districts OF the city is impure to an ex
tent that renders il unfit for use requires no 9TH
er proof than the tastes of persons accustomed TO
the use OF pure water. But. to me, it seems to
SAVIOR of absurdity to talk of substituting the WA
ter of White river or Fall creek on the ground of
superior purity The chemist who found forty
per cent. of organic matter in the solid residum
of our well water will. at this season of the year
not find the quantity much diminished when he
gives US an analysis of the water of White river
or Fall creek
Water from these streams may be rendered
comparatively pure by being passed through a
well constructed filter. but tue same is true of
our well water; and if both have to be filtered
We shall gain nothing in this respect by the ex-
change. Ii has been proposed to purify the wa
ter of these streams 10y suffering it to stand qui-
etly in large reservoirs till it precptates its I'M
purities Ii these were merely held in suspension
in the water, this would effectualy remedy the
evil, but unfortunately this is not the csse-the
organic matter in the water both OF our wells
and streams is in solution and will not separate
by merely standing at rest. We have. however,
near Us an IneNhaustIble supply oil water, Tree

From PhiIadeIphia.

PHILADELPHIA, July l9.-The Press Army
of the Potomac correspondent, writing on the
18th, says:
That the artillery fight of that day lasted two
hours, when shells burst directly in the
rebel embrasures destroying their cannon and
forcing them to retire. They lost at least six
guns.
The breastworks lately occupied by the enemy
barring our advance towards Petersburg, have
been levelled.
The Baltimore Railroad is fully repaired and
trains running regularly.
The Gunpowder bridge is fully repaired. Ali
the trains are running as heretofore to and from
New York and Washington.

THE "INDIASA CENTRAL" INSURANCE CO.
The report of this Insurance Company for the
quarter ending the 3Oth of June, has been laid
upon our table.
As public Journalist We would call the atten
ton of our readers TO the vigorous and unrivaled
success of this well founded Insurance Company
It's report speaks for itself Ii will be seen:
LIST. That the number Of policies issued during
the quarter is , GIG This far exceeds the mum
Der issued by any other company in the same
length of time in this State, or even in the
North west
ID. The amount of their capital is now greater
than any other home company.
During the last three months 1t has insured
two and one quarter millions OF dollars on prop
erty in our State. and added to iis capital $685.
2I7 -. And last, but not least, is the very i'm
p0rtant fact. viz:
The amount at risk S5. 5s4. sos l6 is less com
pared with the capital S34,9S 50 than any other
company located in this State showing cOnclu-
sivey that the Indiana Central has become the
leading Insurance Company Of the State The
very able management OF its finances, as well as
of its entire system of insurance, and its prompt
manner of paying all losses, with the fact that
they have never had n single case of dispute or
litigation with any one insured in this Office has
secured for them a large share of the public con
fidence and opened before them field of success
the most fiattering. Nearly three hundred appli.
cations for policies have been made by the citi-
zens of own city in this company within the
last few weeks. We feel partial to the Indiana
Central. because of the quiet and high toned
peaceful character which it has determined to
maintain in leaving all other companies to man
age their own business, without making any ia
situations against them. asking Only that the
same measure be melted TO them. This is fair
this is honorable. and must command the respect
and confidence OF all.
