A Distinguished Visitor.
lFrom the n. Y. Evening Post-] !.
:, Probably few Of our citizens arc aware that
1Ec government fs entertaining, Just now, in
our midst, q distinguished guest-uo less a
I.crsen than Doctor or Col Han,bleton. OF
Georgia. -
The name Of this military doctor will bring
to many minds host OF pleasant and un-
pleasant memories. Dr.. ,Hambleton's last
Toombs, Wigfall and Floyd were Fastening
tLeir rrcpaTotiops for rebellion; and DE-
Hambltton, rightcously bent on spoi1ing the
Egyptians, and seeing no more harm in rob
b'ng the enemy efore q declaration OF war
han after, conceived the brilliant idea Of
ttytdtrGcy, q "WLite list ''--to contain the
n,mes Of. those merchants Of this city with
whom 4 slayehelding Southern gentleman
mig ht trade without injury 10 his principles,
a1d TO whom he might owe money without
iljslIy to his Southern honor.
Dr Hanibleton whtn he developed this iugcn-
ious idea idea In this city: The noble art of
biackmailing was never caoried further; men
rrshed up 10 the Doctor and Insisted on be-
li'g blacEmai1ed: they tlEu=t their contrihu-
tim into his Eatus; they dincd him aud
Wined Kim TIL, bling Il man Of poor stomach,
the vine and the naseous conduct Of his
friends made Linn sick.
| But he ftathesed his ne=t-these is little
doubt about that. On Monday last Dr.. Ham
bltton returned to New York. On Wedncs-
, day evening he was seen and recognized by .
| We believe, IN the Park Barracks. He had In
his trunk s15, COO in South Carolina and Geat-
g5a bank bills. and SIS, goo in Confederate
hntcs. He seems to'oe SPY this time-not a
great change from his Last employment as lc-
yier Of black mail. Did he in the hours be-
bis old friends and contributors? Was he
we'll received? Did the white list give
him dinner at the New York Hotel? Did
Trey, perhaps, present him With tuft Of the
grass y hich has been growing on Broadway
ever since the Southern trade stopped.
It Is due 10 DR.. Hsmbleton to eay that he
disclaims any connection with the Southern
Confsderacy since the spring OF 1850, and
claims that he camo North for the benefit of
his health He arrived at Memphis some
time since. From Memphis he came to Cairo,
being permitted to enter the lines on the plea
that he was refugee, and thence went to
New York, where he Tas arrested at tile Me-
tropolitan Hotel.
