gallant soldier is not to be found. The company,

ARREST OF A COHFIDEHcE MAN-Lieut. Boylan
and Special Miller last evening arrested, on St.
Charles street, one L. C. Mayer, alias Frank Ly-
lngston, on the charge Of being dangerous and
suspicious character, and a tirst-class swndler.
| The fellow arrested here in February last as
a fugitive from justice in Kansas, where he stood
charged with swndling by means of the confidence
game. After due delay, and no reQuisition arriv-
| ing from Kansas, he was discharged.
Within the last few days he returned to this city,
| as Frank Livingston, of the Mccullough Rangers,
Texas Volunteers, y and Immediately began opera
| tiOns. He went to a tailor on Exchange Alley and
| ordered splendid military uniform; the uniform
| being ready, Mayer offered draft in payment,
| but the tailor refused to accept it, saying it
| hard cash he wanted. He left without the uniform,
| and the tailor saved that much.
| He succeeded better with Mr.. Y. D. Terrebonne
attorney-at-law, on Rousseau street, Fourth Dis
| trCt Going to that gentleman, he got him to
| draw up his will, in view of the uncertainties Of
| war. In this willghe bequeathed to his dearly be-
| bvp1r rn1o n in
event of his death during the war; the whole of his
estates and movable properties, amounting to some
| 100000. He simulated wealthy man so we'll and
gave such lucid explanation Of the reason of his
being just short of money, that Mr. Terre-
| tonne loaned him 5000 But soon Mr.. 7. smelt a
rat and put the police on his track, resulting in his
| arrest last evening.
1t appears that this Mayer is almost as great an
| imp0ster and confidence man as the scamp Ross
yally, whose imp0sitiOns upon the people of Ala
bama and Georgia We lately published.
