A series of most disgraceful Developments have
recently been made respecting enc of those impos-
tors, who has, under the name of Dr.. Charles w.
Appleton, been travelling over the Union as the ge-
neral agent of the New Jersey State Temperance
Society. We published last week letter from
correspondent in Charleston, giving an account of
the elopement of respectable widow lady with an
tlneratng minister of the Baptist persuasion. 1t
seems thatthis Appleton was the person, and thathe
had been introduced very fayorably 10 the notice
OF the Charleston community by the Rev. Drs.
Brantley and Mendenhal, to VIZ ON the scoundrel
was introduced by the Rev. Mr. Webb of New Bruins
wick, and the Rev. &c Harrison Of Bordentown.

character Of Appleton, after giving him tine letter OF

pose on the people of Charleston, wrote TO Drs
Brantley and Mendenhall, in order to warnIhem re-
spectng him. The fellow has three wives living,
one in Richmond, Ind the second in York, Pa
and the third in New Brunswick, N. ]. His third
marriage was thus announced some time ago =
