The Central Bank of Brooklyn.


A New York dispatch of the 26th inst,
says the Central Bank of Brooklyn has ap-
pointed committee of investigation. The
bank when it suspended business had
assets only to about Is per cent of its la
bilities.
The Herald of the same date says:
An examination of the affairs of the Cen
trail Bank, Brooklyn, has developed the
facts that it is deeply, and, indeed, hope
lessly involved. 1t is now officially an
nounced that the stockholders will loose
not only the amount of their stock, in all
5000, 600, but as much again, and then the
depositors will be compelled to suffer a
loss of twenty-five per cent at least, on
their deposits. Things, however, may
turn out to be even worse than that should
the rumors now current prove true, namely,
that many of the securities are good for
nothing. President Pruyn, who held
$50, 600 of the stock, declares that he will
not be able to meet the liabilities, and
several other gentlemen, who hold about
$25, 600 of it, claim to be in similar po-
sition. The indignation excited among
the merchants and mechanics who had
placed their surplus funds in this institu-
ton is of the most intense character. Not
a few talk of having the President arrested
for swindling. In dealing with depositors,
it is noticeable, that the United States
Government has had it, deposits, $50, 900,
refunded. Why this distinction should be
made, the less favored do not understand.
Altogether it is becoming more clear every
day, the dissatisfied depositOrs say, that
the funds of the bank have been gambled
away on Wall street. Among other peculi-
arities connected with this failure, it is re-
markable that not single joint meeting
has yet been held of the stockholders and
depositors, although the latter are clamor-
ing for one, so that they may get some
positive information on the condition of
affairs.

The Action
OF really good Eminent in assisting the
action of internal remedies, and thus
quickly subduing pain, is well known to
the medical profession. The same result
is frequently attempted to be arrived at by
the aid of various plasters, but with only
partial success. Thus in the cramps which
frequently accompany diseases incident to
summer weather, and which generally pre-
cede attacks Of cholera, the application of
Magic Arnica Liniment to the seat Of pain,
either by brisk rubbing or by saturated
piece of flannel, will not unfrequently cure
the disease itself and always relieve the
pain. The Magic Arnica Liniment is con-
ceded, wherever known, to be unsurpassed
as penetrating stimulant.

First RaIe New Cotton.

The first bale of new cotton was received
here yesterday by ] III Carsey, Son & Co.
1t was the product of our former townsman,
w j Doyle, now planter of West Point,
Ga. This bale was classed as middling,
and brought 204c at public auction. The
purchaser was W II Chadbourn, who
shipped it to the house of Manning, d
Sears, Boston, Mass, by the Erie Trans
portation Company, free of charge. But
for the fact that Cincinnati, st. Louis, Bos-
ton and New York had already received
bales of the new crop, the bale received
here yesterday would have commanded a
higher price. Other cities North having
been supplied with ''the first bale of the
season, of course, the novelty in meas
ure had passed of, and there was no point
where such shipment would have paid
back first cost. Carsey, Son i Co., can
congratulate themselves on this fact, that
if they did not receive a Tennessee bale,
it was grown by a Tennessee man. We
would not be surprised to hear of w. j,
receiving jug of old Robertson County
the usual premium according to custom.

following preamble and resolutions we're

Be it therefore resolved, That we tender
to his wife and other relatives assurances of
our deepest sympathy in this, their great
bereavement. Praying that He who alone is
able to heal stricken hearts, may remember
them in mercy and Sc stain them in bearing
so great a sorrow.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing
be sent to the family of the deceased and

INC missi.,ippi Orphans

The thirty two little Confederate orphans
from the Mississippi Orphan Asylum, at
Lauderdale Springs, gave their concerts to
crowded houses at Murfreesboro on last
Friday night and the night before. Both
performances were rendered particularly
spicy by the appearance on both sccasions
of the inimitable Green Morrow, from
Nashville. At both concerts handsome
profits were realized. Mr.. Morrow received
the sum of thirty dollars for his services,
which he generously gave to the ladies of
the Auxiliary Society at Murfreesbore, for
the benefit of the Confederate Orphans

These figures clearly demonst rate that
the entire increase of the commerce of the

how far it Is due to them We can only

1t is undOubted different with New Orleans

forth be regarded as a secondary means of
transportation. A knowledge Of these
facts is Of importance to all our citizens,
but there are two classes to whom it bears
peculiar significance, namely, our river
men and marine insurers. The former
should go to work theoretically to procure
such improvements In river transportation
as will enable them to compete more suc-
cessfully with the railroads.; and the latter
our local marine insurance companies-if
they are not 50 far advanced in the process
of fossilizstion as to render any movement
impossible, would do we'll to seek at once a
more extended field of operation than they
havescontented themselves with hitherto.
Otherwise, they may soon find themselves
in the position Of OthellO, with their oe-
cupation gone.
