A COMPLETE SELL.-lt appears that onr
neirhbors at Augusta, have been sadly vie
timized BY 4 stroling imposter. The Con
sttu.ionalist gives the following version oil
the affair. The editor says:
We advertised in our last performance
by the French Opera Troupe at Concert Hall.
Itturned out that the troupe consisted of one
man, a sharp-faccd little French or German
Jew, q disgrace to his racc,) with coal black
hair large Roman nose: and weighing about
one hundred and fifteen or one hundred and
twenty pounds lie sold tickets until he
received the amount Of foriy or fifty dollars,
when he turned over his profitable stand to
his doorkccpcr, 4 German he picked up in
this city, and went on the stage to commence
the performance. Unfortunately for those
present, there was back door to the stage,
through which he made his exit in haste,
and nothing has since been heard of him.
We understand committees have been ap-
pointed to watch the Georgia and Carolina
Railroads this morning and a committee will
also proceed to Aiken; and should he be
orerhauled, being of light frame, we think
he will get what he richly deserves, a coat Of
tar and feathers, and decent rail ride.
