How Passport Uas O6to,aed--We alluded
yesterday Il. the mau Dibble, who obtained
passport in this city last December to 10
North, and subsequently turned up with the
Burnside exp sdition at Newborn. We under.
stand thai D1oble, a Yankee by birth, had for
many years carried on successful business in
North Carolina, and taking advantage Of this
fact came here aud represented to merchants,
druggists, and others, that it was in his power
TO smuggle from the North aoy quantity of
articles such as the Confederacy needed. The
bait took 30 tar ~ it was necessary 70 secure
vouchers Of integrity at the Passport Office,
but how much gold he secured for tho purpose
of "making HIS purchases" We are not in
formed. He got his passport, and we have
now heard the result. Being perfectly. ia
miliar with the riverr of North Caroline, he
no doubt assisted in psloting the expedition
which captured Kewbsfn. aud drove many
Ioyal citizens from ttheir homes. AS an insta ace
OF misplaced confidence. this Transaction is
worthy Of note.
