ments, but when pay day come was always
short of funds. He claimed to be from Ohio

numerous inquiries for the said Brain and his
Southern Railroad Guide They stated that
upon his representations they were induced
to pay him SI20in advance, for the pnbliea-
ton of their card Several persons in Louis
Vile have done the same thing. The various
printing bills remain unpaid, and the young
man has disappeared. Th,re is no such es-
tablishment as the Southern Reilroad Guide
and General business Directory office in Louis
vile. The first number of this work was
promised in June last. We are satisfied that
the whole affair was from the first bogus
concern, genuine swindle, adroitly practic-
ed throughout. The police would serve the
the cause of justice by securing the said j. G.
Brain. and handing him over to the proper
authority. E

Political speculation..

New York correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier gives it as his opinion that the de-
legation from New York to the Charleston
Cow ention will be a unit in favor of DAN'L
S. DICKINSON. 1t is alleged that, since the
publication of the Wise -Donelly correspon-
dence, the ALBANY Regency have espoused
his cause, and that both Hards and Sogts
unite upon him.
The same correspondent says the Opposi-
ton are gaining ground very rapidly, and
what they gain is lost to the republicans.
He adds -
The Opposition " in Virginia will hold a
State Convention in October. Whatever is
done there will have an important influence
in the Northern States. Should that Con-
vention designate w. q. Rives for President,
and John Crirtenden for Vice-President
there would be grand rally made all over
the Union. That the Virginia State Conven-
zion will intimate the political views of the
delegates, and their preference for one, do
not for Il moment doubt.

A Trade-Sale OF Tobacco, by catalogue,
takes place in the city of New York to-day.
We learn from the New York correspondence
of the Richmond Entqirer, that the catalogue
contains a list of 1000 hogsheads of Ken
lucky leaf; 5000 cases of seed leaf; and
1000 bales Havana. The originators Of this
trade sale hope to have it continued annual
ly, with the view they say of attracting larger
shipments Of leaf tobacco from the West to
New York. They say prior to the extension
ofrailroads to the West, nearly all the tobac-
CO grown in the valley of the Mississippi was
compelled TO find an outlet by the way of
New Orleans. 1.-THE present time the freight
on hogshead of tobacco from that port to
Europe is 40s sterling, while from New York
it is Us Cd to the continent. This difference
it is considered, will more than cover the adj
ditional cost of railroad transportation COM
pared with the water carriage to New Or
leans.
This sale is attracting good deal of alten-
ton, and, if successful, may be the inaugu-
ration of new state of things eminently
advantageous to the tobacco planter.
