Ieral nights last week, on The affairs ot
Kansas, under the pretente of raising

high game in pther parts Of FHginia, and
also in North and South Carolina, not
only in raising companies and falling to

but aIse in obtaining money and failing
torefund it. aud is published as an i'm

Of Mr.. White Or his lectures, and the
most we can JAY for him is that lie not
only failed to fsturn to this place accor-
ding to promise, but that he carried off
with him 9 fine gold chain belonging to
2 young gentleman of Our town, and
cheated the sthge company out of some
three or four dpIars BY down right living.
