THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Idaho, If memory fall not—and others on various 
oceans whose names are forgotton. The loss of 
life by the Schiller was larger than by any other 
of the wrecks here named—something over three 
hundred. The Columbo sailed from New York 
less than two years ago, and was never heard 
from. The Ludwig is now so long overdue as to 
be given up for lost. A correct list of all the 
ocean vessels lost during the time speelfied, 
would present an appalling aggregate or fatuity. 
Augell, the Chicago defaulting secretary of the 
Pullman Car Company, has been arrested at Lis¬ 
bon as an Englishman, under the name of Sey¬ 
mour. He Is on hts way home a prisoner. Out of 
the $125 000 he stole, $90,000 were round on Ills per¬ 
son. Most defaulters become so through specu¬ 
lating at first with money not their own, losing, 
and gradually sloklng deeper into debt and dis¬ 
honesty. Angell, however, is merely a common 
thief, uncommon only In the amount of his theit. 
The British attack upon Afghanistan Is made in 
three columns, which are Intended to penetrate 
the territory of the Ameer by the three principal 
trade Or caravan routes and ix> divide his defensive 
resources. The principal column, consisting of 
16.000 men, and under the command of Sir Samuel 
Browue, was collected at Peshawur, and has 
already won a signal battle lu the capture of the 
Khybeer Pass and Fort All Mu Jld. This fort was 
the frontier post of the Ameer, and Is distant 
rrom Cabul, his capital, about one hundred and 
fifty miles. The second column of s,ooo men, 
under comma nd of General Roberts, has crossed 
the frontier at Thul, and Is advancing up the 
Koorum valley, with Ghuznee as its objective 
point. The latter city, which was stormed by tbe 
British In 1639 and again captured by them in 
1842 , is very near the heart of the Afghan ter¬ 
ritory and about eighty miles southwest of Cabul. 
The third column, 12,000 strong, commanded by 
Donald Stewart, Is advancing from QuSttah, the 
frontier town in the Khanate of Beloochlstan, in 
the direction of Candahar, two hundred miles be¬ 
yond which. Is the large town of nerat, near the 
Persian frontier. The Ameer Is said to have 
under arms 100,000 men, good but undisciplined 
fighters. Among them is a large number of Rus¬ 
sian volunteer officers, who will doubtless be of 
as much service against the English as a similar 
class of the latter, In the Turkish army, were 
against the Muscovites during the late war. 
Cablegrams received this morning seem to lndl- 
dleate that the British advance will not extend 
beyond seizing the Mountain Passes until milder 
weal her In early spring. 
Our transatlantic cousins for years, nay for 
generations, have taken a good-natured (?) pleas¬ 
ure In twitting us with dls-well, not altogether 
upright dealings; but we have never had a bank 
so outrageously mismanaged as the Glasgow 
BaDk, and seldom have we had among us so dis¬ 
graceful a bankruptcy as that of smith, Fleming 
£ Co., mentioned here in October. An approxi¬ 
mate statement of the affairs of this firm shows 
gross liabilities $14,557,425, hut only $6,182,975 of 
tnis Is expected to rank against the estate. The 
ooooto orc$i,4^a,»io. or less than 17 cents on the 
dollar, and after the costs of llquldatlou are paid, 
it will not yield 10c. on the dollar. The Times says 
one of the partners stated that the house would 
have stopped long ago but for the intervention of 
the manager of the City of Glasgow Bank. Who¬ 
ever may he responsible tor It, tills failure must 
be ranked among the most disgraceful and dis¬ 
astrous of our time.
