AN EXTENSIVE SwIEpLs We have the par
Iculars OF an extensive sWindle which was
perpetrated III this city over mont h ago, ana
which we are now permitted to make public
he victims having kept the matter quiet, in
the hope of bringing the swndler to Jus tice
+. Cue, Spanish importer of Havana ci-
CARS and produce, having his office at No 10
fravIer street-a man who had done business
in this city some two years, and acq uired thu
conn fence OF many OF our business mems
The sWindler. Dur information is, that upon
the recOmme ndation OF parties in CUBA, and
Of some business men here, as TO his respect Ia
bility and validity, and upon his pretance
that he had taken a heavy contract to erect q
railroad depot, and to furnish railroad sup.
plies, provisions for laborers, etc, on a nearly
completed railroad in Cuba, he obtained all
he wanted, paying for the same with notes
at ninety days.
He purchased a schooner here and loaded it
with supplies of different kinds, and by like
bargains mere had lumber, bricks, &c, shin
ped direct from Pensacola and other places 10
Cuba, as is supposed. His opera tions began
il April or May, and all these things were
sent off before the blockade was instituted -
AS early as the 10th June, hie victims had dis
covered how they were cheated, and Combin-
ing together, and subscribing money for de-
tective purposes, kept the thing quiet in the
hope of catching Mr. "t. One, importer OF
cigars and Havana produce, No. 10 Grayier
street, as the directory sets him forth. A
writ of SEIZURE was taken out for the con .
tents OF the store, but nothing was found that
sent 10 NeW ors. to 20 thence N Havana in
quest OF the swindler. Lut this man returned,
having been unable 10 get eli.
The meetings of the creditors of Mr.. Cue
have led To the discovery that their Joint loss

but are able to stat that Thomas, Murray il
Co., Glannon, Coleman, 4 Co, ii d. Searnau
II %, j. NJ. Laborde and f. NJ. Fisk are
among the principal .suff-rers-the rascal
having purchased large quantities OF ium Der
brick, patent roofing, cotton seed oil, gro
ceries, produce, etc, not to mention the
schooner which carried the valuable cargo
from this city. Should any one suppose that
the blockade may have prevented Mr. Cue
from returning and pay ing his notes, We Ia We
only 10 state that the losers have thoroughly
Investigated the matter, and come TO the con
cluslon, dpon good and salts factory evidence
that the said Cue is adroit ana spi. nClid n

adj that several business men now in Thu
city, who vouched for Cue, necessarily stan1
in 50 exceedingly Notifying predicament.- -

WHAT SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN THINK.
Erastus Brooks, editor Of the New York
Express, writes TO his paper from Wash
ington as follows:
What seems to me more important
from the South, however, are several in
teryiews with southern men, on the Union
side, and some Of whom are holding i'm
portant legislative or elected positions in
our Government. One of the most intel
ligent men from Tennessee predicts that
in sixty days our troops will be in Rich
mond, and the backbone Of the rebellion
broken. Another from the same State,
but in higher position here, looks upon
Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee
as all TO be restored to the Union, first by
the advance Of our troops, a.d secondly,
by the more than willing cooperation Of
the friends of the Union in those States.
Secession and rebellion are spoken Of by
such as an abcess which must be east out
by the sword Of war when milder treat
ment fails. This class Of men demand
very naturally and very properly, that the
friends of the Government and OF the Tn
ION at the South should be sustained by
the Federal armies. Their very lives de
pend upon it. The supporters Of rebellion
show no mercy TO them at home, and
would hang them tomorrow if they could
catch them. When rebels combine, sure
" patriots should unite
Prominent men in Maryland declare to
me that the disunion sentiment in their
State, though intensely active and person
ally most respectable, IS numerically very
weak"
