swINRLHNG EXTRAORDINARY.

A man named James II. Peters was ar
rested on Saturday, by Special Officers
Trower and Pecora, charged by Capt. Gus.
Richards with swindling. 1t appears that
some ten days ago, Capt. Sweeten, who
was employed by Peters, called on Capt.
Richards, of the steamboat Ida May and
stated that he had friend who desired
to purchase the boat. Capt. Richards
told Capt. Sweeten to bring his friend ;
and shortly afterwards, they both re-
turned. The desile to purchase ap,
peared SO sincere that Capt. Richards
agreed to take both up the river, to en-
able Mr. Peters to see the capacity of the
boat. The trip was made, and, on the
return, Mr.. Peters expressed himself per-
fectly satisfied. He desired Capt. Rich
ards to have the necessary papers made
out at the eCustom-house. This was done,
the Captain procuring the documents at
an expense of over $780, In the mean
time, Peters placed Capt Sweeten in
command, and at once commenced re-
pairing and reftting the steamer. He
had her strengthened and refurnished
procuring new stoves, stove-pipes, ETC.
He also went to several merchants, among
whom were Messrs. McStea, Vulue & Co.,
S. c. Hickey, B. S. Goodwin, N. G. Outlet,
OOHu 4cuEy III. H. COuSD, y. L.. 1IerSOn.
and a hat store on Magazine street, near
Mr.. Persons, and made purchases of
various articles valued at $1,000 or $4,000,
Among the purchases were 200 barrels
coal, hats, caps and clothing, all of which
he ordered sent to the boat. He also pre-
sented a draft for $4,000 on n. C. Guliett,
of No. 80 Natchez street, payment on
which was of course refused, and after
words he sent cab driver to the same
person with an ordor for 50, but still
obtained no money.
In all his operations, Peters seems TO
have used, as references, the firm of
Moore, Green & Co., the senior partner
of which had formerly known him in
Columbus, Miss, as being connected with
the wealthy firm of Hale & Murdock.
Peters made appointments with Capt.
Richards at the office of Messrs. Moore.
Gr9en Co., and was to have paid for the
boat there, but when the Captain came
according to agreement he was surprised
to find note informing him that his
title was invalid, and that therefore be
(Peters) would not buy the boat.
Capt. Richards laid the matter before
Capt. Dalton, of the detective force. who
with the aid of Specials Trower and
Pecora soon brought these facts to light,
The man was arrested on Saturday as
above stated, being very drunk at the
time, and on the following morning, after
a good sleep, when informed of the charge
against him, by Dalton, he expressed per
feet ignorance of the affair, stating that
ne had been obviously drunk for two
weeks. He was dead broke" and had
paWned his valise; and apparently his
operations were as much a freak of
drunkenness as a real attempt at fraud
Peters is said to be member of a very
respectable Mississippi family, is a cripple
and has been quite dissipated.-TN. o

The ViPRinianA.

Hon. Henry Clay Dean, of Iowa, in a
speech delivered at Hackensack, N. j. a
few days ago, paid the following tribute
10 the Virginians:
dare speak one kind word for the op-
pressed in the very teeth of the oppres
sor. Since Adam took possession Of
Eden, no part OF his heritage has given to
man such an hundred years of history as
that OF Virginia, beginning with the pub
lie life of George Washington, and end
ing with the surrender of the armies of
General Robert E. Lee. The great orator,
Patrick Henry, whose spirit lighted up
the great Revolution, and whose mild,
sweet voice called armies up the valleys
and dow u from the mountains to defend
New York, New Jersey, and Massachu-
sets from the invaders hoof, was a Vir-
ginian; George Washington, who led
those armies, was Virginiap; Thomas JEFF
terson, whose great soul encompassed the
world and lifted its light upon benight-
ed age to teach it liberty, was Virginian;
James Madison, who environed our rights
by flame of living fire, which the most
Illustrious periods in the past and present
century preserved unharmed, all that was
sacred in life and precious in hope-th9
Constitution of the United States-was a
Virginian: John Marshall, whose lumin-
Gus mind, guided by immutable justice,
gave being to most profound and com.
prehensive judiciary-the bulwark of
American institutions, the marvel of man.
kind-was a Virginian; Henry CLAY,
whose commanding majesty of soul drew
after him, whithersoever he went, one
full half of the whole moral and intellec
tual power of America, who did obedi-
ence to his name, was Virginian; the
Lees-Richard Henry, Arthur, Francis
Lightfoot, Light Horse Harry, and his
illustrious son, Robert E Lee-were Vir.
ginians; Thomas Jonathan Jackson, the
great military genius of the Western
Hemisphere, born on my own native Mo-
nongahela, was Virginian. I he courts,
and legislatures, and forums, and pulpits
of every State in the Union, and every
government on the continent, have been
adorned by Virginians. Their blood, shed
in Loble defense of liberty, has fattened
every valley, and their bones have
bleached on every mountain from Bunker
Hill to the City of Mexico.

STAND FROM UNDER.

The is a perfect rush in business af
fairs in every portion of the South. We
can scarcely take up Southern ex-
change that does not give glowing ac~
count of the Unprecedented improve
ments of their respective cities Build.
ings are going up every where, yet the
supply fails far short of the demand
Temporary struc ures are improvised to
meet the wants of the business public =
All this cannot last i; there is no real
grounds for this extraordinary state OF
affairs. The country in its preseut con-
di,ion, drained as it has been, by long
and protrac.ed struggle, cannot uphold
shs career of prosperity, and the time
., we believe, not far distant, when
4 turn will come in business affairs,
and the rush of to day, will be
followed by calm that will precede q
crash which will shake the financial world
TO ITS centre. We hear of the most ex-
travagant rents given by merchants for a
placo IN do business in. some instances,
so eager are they, that they will offer per
month 90 to so per cent. the cost of the
building, while there is not a few buildings
erected or now in process of erection, that
II twelve months rent will not pay its full
cost. Landlords are keen to see this and
they push the price to the last dollar.
We warn the business community that
this state of affairs cannot last and we say
stand from under. Our own city is not
exempted from the general rule, and it's
rise from the ashes of the dead past is
almost wonderful to behold, and while it
has many advantages over other cities to
sustain it, it cannot but feel the impend-
ing crash when it comes. We hear of
stores renting for five thousand year, r,and
of shauties at fifteen hundred to two
thousand. All this will, we candidly be-
lieve. prove folly in the end. We would
prefer to take things more coolly, not
rush headlong to ruin, but let our advance
he one of safety and genuine improve
ment. We speak that which we believe
is for the good of all, and we again repeat,
stand from under
