P1TTRBuRGH. Dec. Il, 1862.
The story Of j. Wesley Greene's mission to
the President as envoy extraordinary from
jeff. Davis, is an arrant imposition. W. have
the mans history as discovered through the
agency Of the pastor Of the First Methodist
Protestant church.
Greene is u biga1nist, having married four
wives in succession, without the formality Of
4 divorce. Hc is 4 forgcr, and has served two
terms i'll the State prison. H. was licensed
to preach in Cincinnati, and attempted to in
troduce himself into the church here. which
led to tue discovery Of the above facts. Full
particulars and documents are given III TO-
morrow's Gazette
REMARKS.
Yes, and we too sshavc the mans history as
discovered through the agency Of an intciI1-
gent and thoroughly responsible gentleman
now seated at our elbow, who las known this
J. Wesley Greene for eleven years, and i'll al
that time nothing good Of him. Not to en-
ploy tic terms for the purpose Of calm. hard
names, the rcprobate namesake Of the great
founder Of Methodism, is undoubtedly o
scoundTc1 4 good many carats fine. Smooth,
plausible, pious when that vein will serve, he
might deceive thcvery elect, even emporarily
a President elect, and his Cabinet.
Our informant first knew him in Monroe,
Michigan, in the year 1851. The subject of
this brief sketch came thither in the capacity
ola Methodist exhortcr to aid in revival
work. Hc was supcrabundant in zeal,
unctlous in prayer, and especially occupied
with tender concern for the female members
Of the flock. lie formally paid his addresses
to very estimab1e girl, Il teacher in the Mon
roe Female Seminary. Every preparation WAS
made for their marriage, when dead stand
still was put to the proceeding by telegraph
from Mrs. j. Wesley Greene Of Cincinnati
This discovery, enhanced by demonstration
among the indignant citizens, set Mr.. J. Wes
ley Greene OF, lis travels in 4 manner mort
| lively than ligniE / for q clergyman.
He next turned up in Philadelphia under ar
rest for obtaining on swindling pretcnces
| large amount Of jewelry. He escaped impris
| onment only by t1aW and again dove unde
the surface Of society to rcaIpear at sandusky
| Ohio. Meanwhile his former wife had ohtainc'
divorce in Cincinnati from her WORTHLESS

In the year 1858, j. Wesley Green
attempted his former Philadelphia trlc]
at New York With unlike snceess, an

wife obtained divorce from him and he di;

The Pittsburg discoveries may be MOI
minute and circumstantial than these above
but We have given enough joined with ii
reference elsewhere made to show that if JET
Davis made J. Wesley Greene his speci
cmissary to the Chicago Times, the choit
was an excellent one, and the unitics entire?
preserved. he will be 'sa good enoue
Morgan for the tory Times until better CT
be found. It is such authority as this th

loyalty of the people By talk Of peace.
, Wesley Greene who left this city with /
, present wife in great haste last evening is
: very worthy tool for 60 nefarious ajob.
