MAMMOTH LOTTERY HUMBuG.-We
last week published detailed account Of
an imposture now attempted 10 be played
of upon our good na!ured fellow citizens,
in The shape of a Mammoth LOTTERY"
said to be chartered by the Legislature Of
Florida. Wecopiedfi, from HE Florida
Heralth at special request received from
ST. Augustine, and have every reason to
believe the statements contained therein, TO
be fully correct. We should not have re-
ferred 10 The subject again, had we not
since seen publication of the scheme, and
the responsibility Of those connected with
it, endorsed by the Editor Of the Post of
this city. We have seen statements that
fully authorize us in saying that II is
swiudling transaction from beginning to
end. Nor even the act under which il
Processes TO have been created ever exis-
ted Such, n hiil'did pass The Legislature
of Florida, but was vetoed by The eGosernor.
Thename Sylvester & Co. Agents, alNew
York;, is also an imposilion! If such
concern exists. il is moi the one so we'll
known as Lottery Dealers, which they
have already declared. The scheme was.
published in a sheet purporins. to he Syl-
vester's New Reporter; bur from whencc
it came, appears TO be unknown 10 the
real S. j. Sylvester & Go. Further may
be learned by referring to the article;pub-
lished by us last week. Wewould advise
that no one risks his money on the scheme,
as j, will lie a dead loss, both to Ihem and
the printers whn have beengulaedso far as
TO- advertise the Lottery.
