ration than has been common between you and me-
thank you Tor the good report you made Of the
election in old Mclean. The people of the country
have again fixed up their affairs for constitution
al period Of time. By the wav, think very much
OF the people, as an old friend said he thought of
woman. He SAID when he lost his first wife, who
had been great help to him in his business, he
thought he runed-that he could never find
another to fill her place. At length, however, he
married another who he found did quite as well as
the first, and that his opinion now was that any
woman would do well who well done by. So |
think of the whole people of this nation-thev will
do well if well done by. We will try to do
well by them in all parts Of the country North and
South, with entire confidence that all will be we'll
with all of us.

ASTOUNDING SUCCESS OF A CONFIDENCE MANA
$50, 900 S,oindle-Mr. VIM. II. Newcum, a wealthy
gentleman residing near Nashville, Tennessee, has
been lately visit to his brother and other rea
tiyes in this city, living Washington avenue,
between Sixth and Seventh streets. About ten
days ago Mr. Newcum's acquaintance was made by
an individual represented as a rich and influential
citizen OF st. Louis, and named Washington Il.
Johnson Mr.. johnson cultivated an intimacy with
Mr.. Newcum. johnson became agreeable, that
his almost constant presence not only grateful
ly encouraged, but cordially rejoiced in. Mr..
Newcum came to repOse unlimited confidence in
the probity and pecuniary resources of his valuable
st. Louis friend. The latter nsidiously impressed
him with profound conviction that Washington
l.. johnson, Esq, the principal millionaire of
the Mound city. Mr.. Newcum, therefore, felt no
surprise when his honorable friend casually and
graciously expressed himself as having an avail.
able cash income of three thousand dollars per
| month.
| On last Saturday the cordial friends "might have
| been SEEM in still more fraterna and confidential
mood, surveying the valuable blocks between Fif-
teenth and Sixteenth streets in Carr all of which
! by the golden imagination of one FRIEND and the
trustluness of the other, showed as the almost
| priceless property of Washington l.. Johnson, ESQ
| The latter inadvertently exhibited larg number
of valuable drafts, mortgages, &C., which furnish
| ed him occasion to remark that with the immediate
| convenience of about $4,000 he could effect
| grand speculation that would richly remunerate
| them both. Mr. Newcum agreed to take his friends
| paper, and furnish him in return with IS 900 in
! currency, and ST., 900 in drafts. The money was
paid over, and the drafts were promptly cashed al
| the counters of the several city banks at which
| they were made payable.
| Mr.. Newcum repOsedin security until yesterday
when he missed the pleasing attentions OF his friend
| The hours wore on, and Mr.. johnson did not ap'
pear Kind inquiry disclosed that the rich citizen
| was not so well known as he should be. Further
| investigations dssipated Washington l.. johnson,
ESQ., entirely, and left, in place of the goodly cit
zen, a missing sharper. Mr.. Newcum's securities
| are worthless, and a most adroit villain has fled
with full $4,000, of which he has feeced an esti
| mabe but too confiding gentleman.
| When satisfied of the nature of his late transac
ton, the aggrieved party sought advice of Justice
| L
tives. The latter,we presume, are engaged in at
tempting to trace and arrest the willy knave.

Bile and faithful following of Thee to the praise
