proprietor of Forepaugh's mammoth
menagerie and circus" (which is now
on exhibition in Richmond,) on
nouncing that he will pitch his tent
in Columbia, in few weeks. The
New York, Baltimore, Washington
and Richmond papers speak very
highly of the merits of the enter

papers says: "The collection of wild
animals is the finest ever seen in
Washington" The price of admis-
sion is only fifty cents.
SwNDLERs.-Afe few weeks ago, we
received a circular, signed Temple,
Richardson & Co., Advertising
Agents, New York." with number
of advertisements of very prominent
Conversation instance, the Banking
House of Jay Cook & Co. -" &C., and
one of Wright, Bro. & Co., Jewelry
Importers. We promptly replied.
stating our terms for each, and that
none would be published unless paid
for in advance. The circular was
returned to US, with the advertisement
of Wright, Bro. & Co." marked
taccepted;" further stating that the
others would be forwarded next
month. when zone tranaaction would
be made of the whole. We saw the
dodge and didn't bite. We've paid
for our experience in gift enterprise
swindles; and we would warn our
readers to beware how they place
confidence in anything partaking of
that character. We have heard of
several instances where persons have
been badly worsted by these swim
ding concerns. The country is flood
ed with their circulars. They are
villains Of the deepest dye.

Tho Ph9ni.c has received copies of
the same printed propositions, as
we'll rs numerous others, but de-
clined accepting one and all. We
would advise our contemporaries to
adopt this plan, and thereby save the
usual indictments to profanity in
duced by the non-payment of such
bills, after the work has been exc
cuted.
To THE EDITORS OF THE PHGNIx:
In your issue of this morning, L
observe that the person who had in
possession certain jewels belonging to
Gen. John 8. Preston, of this city,
claims to have belonged to regiment
1 once had the honor to command.
I remember scoundrel by the name
of McLein, member of Company
3, of my regiment. His record is as
follows: General skulker-deserted
in face of the enemy, in Mississippi,
summer of 1868; supposed to have
gone to the Yankees, with whom it
is hoped he will live and dep AS he
has just recently turned up in Knox
vile, Tenn, it is probable his infa-
nous character will meet its deserts.
F. w. McMASTER,
Late Colonel 18th S. G. V.
