Cautioa.--This community and all the
Giles Of the Union have been long abused
by the begging vagabonds who infest this
country. The hot bed whence they spring
is Genoa. Hale, hearty and able men
gain livelihood by begsing-exhibitinS
certificates of LOSSES and msfOrlunes by
"feld and food" &c.,-exci;iug the SYM
pathy of the unwary; and hence make for
tunes in the course Of a few years. which
they take home, and live at ease;gauihe
expense of their dupes. The certificates
alluded to are not unfre4uently genuine,
obtained from those, who in different cities
have opportunities OF procuring The sig
nature Of the Governor. and seal of the
State, and also Of Mayors, by collusion,
stra,agem or misrepresenlalion-and make
a lucrative traffic of papers thus criminal
ly obtained.
Let, therefore, the citizers of Charles
ton, and all others of the Union set their
faces, aud shu, their purses against these
pileous mendicauts, schooled from their
infancy TO the business, like the blind
bcgsars and pickpockets Of London.
Further, there is regular and well es-
tablshed chain of this business 10 the
United States, and New York is the focus,
where resides the head and receiver gene
raj of all sums collected; with The dislribu-
ton Of which, and lis mysterious manage
ment we are unac Iuainled.

Northern Slauery.-The Northern pa.
pers are filled of late with details of the
sufferiugs Of the working classes, parlicu-
