ALLEGED SwINDLINc OPERATION
The New York Express gives the annexed
particulars of an alleged swindling trans
action referred to in the dispatches:
sThe firm of John Ray & Co., provis-
ion packers and shippers, recently pur-
chased bacon and provisions to the amount
of about 5000 from different merchants
on Change. The goods were shipped to
Europe, the bills of exchange drawn and
sold, and Mr.. M. Lersner, one of the firm,
suddenly disappeared, taking with him
the proceeds of the sale Of the exchange,
forgetting, it is alleged, to pay for the
goods bought. Detectives were sent in all
directions, but the whereabouts of Lersner
is complete mystery. Mr.. John Ray
has been arrested, but denies all partici-
patton in the affair. A brother of Lersner,
it is stated, withdrew from the firm on the
first of May, taking $4,000 as his por-
ton of the capital stock. Lersner mar
ried sister Of Ray short time, since,
without the knowledge or consent Of Ray.
The affair has created a great deal Of talk
among the sufferers, and the whole thing
is regarded as one of the most remarkable
frauds that has been perpetrated for some
time past"

RICHMOND WING DEspoNDENT.-~Ihe
Richmond Wing of recent date argues at
great length that the first great error in
the conduct OF the war was the making
it a strictly defensive war, and suggests
that dose of the enemy's own medicine
would cause him to deSist from further in
yaslon 1t admits, however, the South is
powerless to retaliate. but asserts thatnot one
man IN ten would have the war cease If he
could before having chance to repay
what they have suffered.
The failure to have had the seas swarm
ing with privateers, the failure to obstruct
their smaller rivers early in the war. s. in
not using the slightest machinery of diplo-
macy and political intrigue m disIntegra-
ting orr enemy" and the appointment of
favorltes and young and untried men over
old and tried men, are all regarded as err.
rors by The Wing, from which much trouble
Is to be anticipated The Wing also finds
fault with the " short-sighted and narrow
policy that prompted the construction Of
Caolnet OF men representing but one phase
and classification of political opinion" and
thinks that those in authority have nos
done all they might have done with such
armies and leaders as they have had at
their command.

General Grant is now engaged in build

err line is within one hundred yards, al
points, of the rebel works, and our sharp
shooters prevent the rebels from working
their heavy guns. He says the rebel
works in the rear of the city are far more
formidable than those on the front,
General Grant has been reinforced by a
considerable portion of Banks forces, and
more are coming. This officer states thai
General Johnston is still in the neighbor,
hood of jackson, Miss, gathering force,
to attack Grants rear, but that he has moi
yet succeeded in obtaining $4,000 men
while he is short of both provisions ant
ammunition, and the roads having been
DESTROYED, he cannot obtain either.
1t is certain that the Black river bridge
has been destroyed, and it is positively
known that Johnston has not thrown any
of his men across the river. Genera
Grant has far more men guarding thai
river than Johnston can gather up, and n,
