The depositors of the Central National Bank, of Brooklyn, yesterday appointed a committee of investigation. The bank, when it suspended business had assets of only about 15 per cent, of liabilities. There is no grounds on which criminal proceedings can be instituted against the officers of the bank, though their conduct is denounced in round terms by the depositors.
The journals publish a letter of a Berlin correspondent, dated August 19, from which is extracted the following: "We are persuaded here that efforts are making to conceal the fact that the Prussian army lost seriously in the battles of the 15th and 16th, in the details furnished here. It is openly asserted that the losses were so great that the army is disorganized and not able to advance, which will allow the Fronch time to gather renewed strength, causing the Prussians to pay dearly for their first success. Yesterday a demonstration was made before the Palace. Crowds assembled and demanded to know the news. What the Queen informed them, in reply, was no worse than already known. The crowd then dispersed, slowly, unconvinced and disatisfied.
A duel was fought just over the Mississippi line a few miles below Memphis, Tennessee, at sunrise yesterday morning between Major Ed. Freeman, a young merchant, and Ed.

A LITTLE boy of four years old, who lives in Jeffersonville, got into so much trouble a few days since that he attempted suicide by the old fashioned mode of hanging.
Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad. It will be seen by President M'Keen's notice, published in another column, that the "Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company has assumed control and management, by lease, of the St. Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute Railroadand that the individuals whose names are therein mentioned, are to be the officers of the road under the new management.
This arrangement secures the most careful and prudent management of the road from St. Louis to Indianapolis. Every officer is an experienced railroad man perfectly familiar with the duties assigned to him under this notice, and competent in every particular to discharge them. Under the control of such officers, from the President to the Paymas ter, this extended road will commend itself to the public, as favorably as has been, regarded the Terre Haute and In dianapolis road for years.
The road from this city to St. Lous, is equal in the permanence of its construe tion, to the road from here to Indianapo lis and no road in the United States ever excelled this one. It is fortunate for the shippers and the people generally, and for the city of Terre Haute in particular that this entire line has fallen into the hands of the old and reliable Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company. 5ts trains will now always be on time, and that time will be as quick as can be made on any road. Besides all this, the liberality which so prominently characterizes all the business relations of President W.R. McKeen, guarantees to the people everywhere, that the business of the road will always be conducted on the most generous and prudent basis, looking as well to that which will advance the general prosperity, a3 to the careful and economical management of the road itself.
Additional Local News.

THE Bedford Independent says in regard to the illness of Hon. Mose3 F. Dunn's moth*#'The widow of Geo. G. Dunn is dargerouslv sick, though hopes are entertained of her.recovery."
SULLIVAN DEMOCRACY.—A friend informs us that the barefooted Democracy of old Sullivan are having a sweet old time since the primary election. Out of the 65 candidates who all, of course, expected to receive the nomination, all are sadly disappointed, except the lucky ones, of course, and such an interesting family quarrel was never known in that Gibralter of the Democracy. Such is the state of affairs that Mr. Voorhees will have to make his appearance among the faithful once more, to pour oil on the troubled waters. It was a shabby trick in the Democracy of that county to repudiate Mr. Briggs—Murray Briggs, we mean.
IRREPRESSIBLE.—TheBrazil miners are irrepressible, and there may yet be trouble out there, as will be seen by the following notice, which was served on a man who proposed to go to work, and which will explain itself: "OTTER CneEK MINING Co.—Jimmy Andrews: We don't want you to go ia the mine we heard you was going in there if you do you will get hell. We have been after yo"u before, but let you slip. If you do not keep out we will straighten you. You area miner, damn you. Don't you go in. If you do we will take you out. I don't want to hurt you but if you go in you will get what you see at the tree. Don't go in. Don't go into Niblock's bank. We don't want to hurt you, but you must not go in. No mine shall run till we get our price."
RECOVERED.—Some weeks ago a horse was stolen from a man who resides in Pennsylvania. The man from whom the horse was stolen followed the thief to this county, or rather the horse, and getting track of the animal, procured the assistance of Chief of Police Crowe, who recovered the animal from a man in the south part of the county, yesterday, and sent the man on his way rejoicing.
VIGOROUS.—From the following,which we cljp from the New Albany Ledger, it would appear that they have rigorous laws in that place: "We understand that instructions will be issued to the police for the arrest and rigorous prosecution of every person guilty of renting houses to women of bad character. Look out, therefore, for squalls."

Teeth Set with Diamonds. To what extremes and follies the god fashion can lead its devotees is shown by the following clipped from the New York Sun "A brilliant fashion which has just been invented in- this progressive city bids fair to outshine Paris in its lustre and extravagance. Recently an up-town gentleman of wealth and fashion conceived the dazzling idea of having his front teeth set with diamonds. He conferred on the subject with two of his friends, one of whom is a lady of literary celebrity, and all were so well pleased with the sparkling novelty that they had large and -valuable first-water diamonds set into their front teeth, and on Sunday after noon they attended one of the most fashionable churches on First avenue, attracting considerable attention, and diverted the attention of a large number of the congregation from their devotions, by the lustrous rays of their teeth. On their return home they were followed by a multitude, whose curiosity had been excited by the dazzling radiance of the brilliant circle. Should this fashion be adopted, jewelers, lapidaries and dentists will reap a rich harvest, and it will tend to promote good nature and cleanliness, as the queen of fashion, especially those who are thus fixed, will be continually brushing their teeth and smiling, if for no other purpose than to show their diamonds. Oh! ye gods and little fishes, will it not be a cure for sore eyes ana empty pockets to sit in front of such an audience in church, theatre or opera, and gaze with delight upon the smiling circle, and estimate the cut, color, weight and value of their sparkling gems

BERLIN, August 27.—Midnight.—The following official information respecting the movements of the armies is communicated to the public:
HEADQUARTERS PRUSSIAN ARMY, COII LE Due, Thurs., Aug. 25. The report that the French Army under Marshal Bazaine had succeeded in making their escape from Metz is entirely groundless.
On the contrary his army is completely surrounded, and it is expected will soon capitulate, as they are running shor}t of provisions.
The Prussian Cross Gazette says that the fourth German corps, formed under the command of the Crown Prince of Saxony, will join the third corps in operating on Paris.
NEW YORK, August 26.—Rumors have just been received of the., capitulation ,of Strasbourg.
NEW YORK, August 26.—A gentleman who arrived here thi3 morning, reports that the tent of a circus company, performing in Kingston, N. Y., was struck by lightning last evening. Twenty-two persons were wounded and seven killed outright. 1 :ivviH*I 5,1 n" \l
A special to the Evening Post, says it Is reported that the Spanish column has recently had an engagement with the Insurgents in the jurisdiction of Santa Spiritu, in which the Spanish loss was 600 men in killed, wounded and missing.
La Vase de Cuba, organ of the volunteers, .confesses that a detachment of 40 Spaniards was surprised by the patriots, who killed 20, and according to some accounts, only 5 escaped.
The Diaro De La Morina gives the intelligence that the district of Signa Lagrand had been invaded by insurgent troops under Gen. Lerda. It is supposed that these are the first steps toward the evacuation of that place by the Spanish.
The coasting steamers both from the North and the South, arrive daily, filled with sick and wounded.

COLOGNE, August 26.—The bombardment of Strasburg was resumed to-day with renewed vigor. The German troops have placed fifty-six large siege guns, which had arrived from her great fortresses, in position but about 900 paces from Strasburg. A terrific cannonade has been going on all day. The effect of the Prussian fire is disastrous in the extreme. A great conflagration has been raging throughout the night. Forty houses and one church have been entire ly destroyed and the fire rapidly spreading. The Cathedral yet remains untouched by the cannonading.
The little village of Kehl, across the river, has been entirely destroyed by the return fire from the French guns.
PARIS, August 26.—The report that Madame Tascher de La Saigerie, a lady of honor to the Empress, had been imprisoned on the suspicion of having given important information to the Prussians, is entirely without foundation. The report originated in fact of her leaving her apartments in Louvre for other accommodations.
It is stated that 2,000 wounded are lying at the hospitals of Metz. The disease dysentery among Prussian soldiers is said to be increasing.
Tne breach in the Corps Legislatif between the majority and the party of the left is growing daily more bitter in expression, and discussions are characterized by debates of a most acrimonious character. The Republicans say they have reason to fear another coup de etat.
The Municipal Council of Paris is in continued session, organizing as perfectly as possible, a system for the proper provisioning of the city in case of siege. Confidence is expressed in their ability to properly provide for the wants of the soldiers and the inhabitants, even if the siege is a prolonged one.
COLOGNE, August 26.—The Gazette of this city says it has information from an authentic source, to the effect that the Arabs are threatening an insurrection in Algiers.

Thus far the association has beat all monopoly 18 to 15 hours in furnishing European war news. The extension of the lines are goiug on east, west, north and south with renewed energy, has now more than it can attend to without retarding the promptness of new lines now going in all directions.
CHICAGO, August 26.—Wm. Leonard, of the firm of Leonard & Lockhart, No. 54 Lake street, went into Dr. Beed's office this afternoon to have a tumor removed. Chloroform was administered and the operation performed, but all attempts to bring the man to consciousness was unavailing, and he died in a few minutes.
W. L. Barbor, a clerk, was shot by his employer for insulting his wife. His wounds are not dangerous.
CINCINNATI, August 26.—Many leading Republicans and business men of this city and the Second Congressional District have usited in a call, which will be published to-morrow, requesting Hon. R. M. Corwine to become a candidate. Major Corwine is now absent in the East.
An ordinance has been passed for the regulation of the social evil in this city. It provides for registration, examination, medical attendance and hospital dues.
KINGSTON, N. Y., Aug. 26.—A shocking calamity occurred at this place last evening at about half past 8 o'clock, while Bailey &'Co's circus was exhibiting. A severe thunder shower sprung up, rain poured down in torrents and the lightning flashed vividly. There were about 1,500 people inside the tent, when suddenly the heavens were illuminated and in an instant a huge thunder bolt descended, striking a willow tree about 25 yards distant from the tent.
MANSFIELD, O., August 26.—General Garfield delivered the opening speech of the campaign to-day at this place. According to indications, the contest this fall will be unusually warm.
Garfield's speech to-night, commenced by contrasting the European governments with our wn. The questions settled here by the ballot, required the bayonet there. He traced the history of the two parties. He said the rebellion was hatched in the bosom of the Democratic party.
He stated that among all who went into the rebellion, there was not one Republican. The country's defenders were met at every step by Democratic opposition. The Republican party has borne absolute faith to the Nation. Reconstruction was virtually ended, and in such a satisfactory manner that he would ask the Democracy if they were not glad their party was beaten were they not glad that slavery was destroyed, and that the negro question was settled.
He referred briefly to the finances and the revenue and showed from official documents the high increase of revenues collected in this over the preceding Administration. He showed that there had been a more honest, a more lawful, and successful collection of the revenues.
He then showed by figures obtained from official and reliable sources, the steady reduction of taxation and the steady increase in the amount of collections.
This could not be explained on any other grounds than care and honesty. In less than a year and a half one-sixteenth of the public debt had been paid and cancelled—a reduction of over $156,000,millions. From the moment that Grant came into power the public credit began to revive.
He reviewed the Democratic State platform, showing its fallacies and inconsistencies with party action. The Democrats in Pennsylvania favor a high tariff. He had found that a majority of the Republicans in the Northwest favor low tariffs. :v 0
It was his opinion that a moderate and reasonable rate of tariff is better for the interests of iron manufacturers and coal miners of his district. Exorbitant rates tend to ruinous fluctuation of business. He would favor such an adjustment of the
tariff
,'
as would ultimately lead to free
trade, even if it were necessary to protect some interests. Now he did not want it taken to such an extent as that they must be carried by the government. [Cheers.]
He further disputed the Democratic platform in regard to national banks, land grants, &c. «,
,tai£«»v»
In his peroration he contrasted the Democratic party of opposition and reaction, with the Republican party of progress and principle.
In closing his speech he appealed to the Republican party to continue in its glorious onward course, and called upon the people to continue their support to it, that the country might avoid the calamities which the spirit of the present Democratic party might, if successful, bring upon us- W"f«
Death of a Snake Charmer—A Victim of His Own Folly. A letter from Columbia county, N. Y., 7th inst., says:
A man by the name of Roberts, who has been living for some time past on the mountains near this place, died at 7 o'clock this morning in great agony, from the effects of the bite of a rattlesnake which he had caught and exhibited to a number of persons at the railroad station the previous afternoon. Roberts was considered to be a "snake charmer," as he had on several previous accasions, caught rattlesnakes and been bitten by them without suffering any serious consequences. On these occasions, for a consideration of ten cents show money, he would take up the snake and torment it in order to make the reptile open its mouth and show its fangs. During one of these exhibitions yesterday the snake bit him twice, the last time hanging to the hand of Roberts until he knocked it off and killed it with his cane. In the course of two hours the hand and body of Roberts became swollen in a shocking mannerland covered with spots like the snake, while his sufferings were very excrutiating, and continued until he died this morning.

The Times' interview of the resources of Prussia, states that three armies of reserves have been formed, to await events in France, one on the Rhine, under the Duke of Mecklenburg Schawerin, one at Berlin, under General Carstria and one in Silesia, under General Torresburg.
LONDON, August 27.—The correspondent of the Daily News telegraphs from Paris, a dispatch confirming the report of the arrest of Madam Laschere de la Pageric, upon the allegation of communicating important intelligence to the enemy. The News adds that the lady is now in Dures.
The Times this morning contains another editorial deploring the decadence of France. The article says that France in her hour of trial has no head, Paris no leader. The division of power must soon cease. The Emperor having retired from the administration Of the sovreignity, the Assembly ought to be supreme.
General Trochu is in extreme distavor, having entirely failed to secure the popular support anticipated upon his accession to the direction of affairs in Paris.
He is distrusted by the Ministry and the Emperess reposes no confidence in him. He represents the second Power of the Nation. The Ministry have awaited with an uncertain tenure of power, whilst the Paris population are capable of bursting at a moment's notice into a flame of irresistable passion.
The Times sums up the situation at Paris as being critical, liable to a spontaneous outburst of a terrible violence.
The Times correspondence from the vicinity of Metz, is not apprehensive of any decided attempt of the French to break through the Prussian lines, now rapidly enclosing that city.
The Times believes that the Prussian works are in no danger of assault by a sortie from the wrecks within or by the precipitation-upon their rear of a combined attack from the armies of Marshalls Bazaine and McMahon, even should the latter form a conjunction of forces to the northward of Metz.
LONDON, August 26.—The Times reposes confidence in that great strategist Gen. Von Moltke. He would never weaken himself to aggrandize what must now be called the army of Paris. It also discredits the reports that considerable detachments of the Prussian armies have been withdrawn from theseige of Metz to strengthen the columns of the Crown Prince, now marching on Paris.
Accounts from Paris represent preparations are being made to receive the invading army. All valuable movable articles are being removed to distant cities.
Great works of art at Lowoen are being stored in convenient shape for removal. Great collections of pictures have already been placed in cases.
Dispatches from Paris this morning are comparitively unimportant. Principal information is that McMahon on leaving the encampment at Rheims on Tuesday went in the direction of Mouthos and Vosien, northwest of Verdun. The probable object was to make conjunction with a portion of Bazaine's command. .,,r. !j .tU 4

The Prussian government, therefore, declares its resolution to offer no diplomatic negotiation to the French people until the Empire is declared at an end.
