It was about a month or two ago that there appeared in; this city a man of very shabby appearance, who gave his name as Eugene Muir, and stated that he was a member of a tbriving-fim in California, r Muir, it appears, was what ia termed a uermanjew, was pos sessed of a most persuasive tongue and ex hibited in his dealings a most thorough knowl edge o f t rad e. I n the account of his doings in "this city we shall not give names, aa it might, perhaps, be ratherdtsagre;ab!e to par ties concerned. . ... . ' v - '- .'. Muir, so lar as we are informed, made his appearance, some timeince.ai ine sicrc oi one of our largest wholesale clothing 'firms. Here he represented himself as attached to a firm in California, which had escaped-the; perils by fire and overtrading1 of that wonder fuKcity, and were on the high road to wealth and -prosperity. He stated that he wished to me i large purchase oCreadysmade "-clo thing, for which lie weuidjaycasn ana n nallv.' ;he made a bargain, with the firm for one thousand pair ofpantaloons of a peculiar texture, requiring, on tne pan oi me nrm, tne purchase of -considerable cloth, which they proceeded to make up into the required gar ments. r In the meantime iviuir requestea an introduction to some dry goodsfirm,a3 he had some purchases to make in - that line. The . . t. nn .i request oi so extensive a cuswycr cau ily acceded to, and we nextfinl Mr. Eugene Muir selecting about $2,500 Worth of goods, which he was to take and pay for the follow ing weekly In a day or two he called again With a lady, as he said, to show her his pur thases, she having been a resident of Califor nia am nf course being a Hidge of what would be saleable among troldftn land. ' rrr "... .t 'r- i thejfemales of the The lady appeared delightful said his goods were just the thing, and wasyso enthusiasac in her praise that Muir tooM valuable lace veil and some embroideredgloves from the heap, : and gallantly presented them to her. The proprietor of the store, Was ra' her struck aghast at this summary disphsal of what was as yet his property, but on cpnsidcration, con cluded that all must be right, and the couple departed the articles being'charged to Mr. Muir. j r ' The next move of Muir vas his appear ance at the dry goods store!, having in his band, a small pastboard bfx, perhaps four or five inches long, two wide, and two deep. This box was inclosed in white paper, tied with cord, and sealed in about a dozen pla ces with red wax." This box, Muir stated, contained bank bills arid other valuables to a large amount, which he did not consider safe at his hotel, and he thereforevrequested the proprietor to place it in liis safe until the time s arrived to make . payment for bis pur chase, when the box w?uld be opened.., The proprietor at first hesitated to receive-such a valuable dpposit, but finally consented, and to make "all right,- took the key of the safe and put it into his pocket, telling the clerks that if they vranted auytbing-lrom the safe they must apply to hira. . Muir next appears in a wholesale store in Milk-st..1 where he makes similar representa tions, and finally purchases for cash $118 worth of cloves, which he requested to be sent to the dry goods store and he would call and pay for them. The firm sent a boy to the dry goods store for information who re turns with the story that Muir has purchased there a large bill of goods, and that be- is without doubt a desirable customer.?, .The goods were : therefore sent-to the dry goods store," where Muir calls for them and takes ihem away. Ill another store he laid but goods to the amount of $3,000, and in anoth er to the amountof $800, under similar state ment, but did not obtain them. ';'. Hours and days flew. by. and as the pur chaser cf the gloves did not make his appear ance the firm began to be uneasy about their $118. They sent to the-dry goods store and wefe quieted for a-while by the stay of the valuable deposit. 'But the patience ol a tra-der-for thfe payment of a promised debt is not of ling continuance, and besides, the non-appearance of 'Mr. Muir began to look suspi cions." The firm applied to a lawyer, and a wri was issued for the arrest of Mr. Muir, Tfcis writ was placed in-the hands of a con stable, who proceeded to the hotel where Mu ir ctated he boarded. - The hotel keeper said thejt Muir had boarded there, but that he dis appeared about four days previous without pafing his bill, and further, that he had vic tirtised 1 another hotel' keeper; in a similar manner. "-.. : the next move of the officer was for the valuable box of which he had been duly ; in formed by -his employers. He proceeded to the drv troods store, showed his writ and ie- a nested the production of the box. After some demur, the box was produced from the safe, the numerous seals were broken, and its valuable -contents found ; to be three folded nV)spaper8. :'-:i"': i':; -i- 1 Ol course, the cheat was now apparent. The dry-goods man proceeded to place the selected goods back on his shel ves, congratu-. lating himself that he had escaped so easily. The loss of the glove-man was rather more Bevere ; the clothes-dealer had a very , large stock of ready-made pants, got up with con siderable haste and trouble,' on his hands ; the other firms where goods had been select ed escaped, probably because the swindler perceived that he could not obtatn the goods without producing the cash, la conclusion, we can only say that if Muir would but use his rare talents in trade legitimately, he would be a fortune to any firm with which he should be connected.

NORTH CAROLINA GOODS. ; We have seen some specimensvof' North Caroli na staple goods in the Baltimore market, of such a quality and price as to induce the belief that the article will become one of general demand among others of its class, if it does not even take precedence of; them. J The faci itself U an encour aging one; an in VieW of other incidental cir cumstances, contributes an impulse to the tenden cies of commercial intercourse between our: ci ty and the South. . It is such things as these that wc want, to develope the mutual interests and re lations that are seeking an intimacy between us. Wc ought to establish or at least use all onr .en deavors to establisha common market in Dalti- more, for the agricultural and manufacturing pro ducts, alike of the north, the' south, the east and the west T There is no TKition on the Atlantic L border so well adaped to this object aburs and with' the-increasing facilities pf interconrse, tt will be a thins easy of Accomplishment, and is simply a qnestion'of time. At the outsetj at leW nutil Initial projects and enterprises are able td, push fairly into, the broad field of general competition, there should be the utmost liberality, compatible with business principles, observed .with respecito the South, ani ; especially to sonthern manufac tures ; and we are glad to lea rn that J this, spirit animates the merchants of Baltimore, and is like ly to engage their zeal in a cause of which there can be none more national - and hopeful m the Union. One of our leading wholesale dry goods houses has given particular attention to this- qnar ter, and with the h appiest results. fc " As the South1 becomes engaged , and "interested in manufactures, it will begin to realize a weight and influence, and an - accumulating power,, of which it baa had no conception or experience - as a merely agricultural section of the country. There is no good reason why the factory should not take its place by the side of the plantation, and thus bring the markets of the world,' and es pecially those of our country, r into more direct and profitable relation to southern enterprise: In a word it is southern enterprise, moving in a new di rection, which is to re-establish the strength f the South and sustain it ; and now is the time make it effective. - V to Au Unpublished Letter of Mr. Webster.
