surrendered, valuable officers have be
come prisoners, a large amount of pow

important part_of our coast for prim.

THE LATEST
WASHINGTON Sept. 11.—Aecording
to the correspondence of the Republi
can, the line of batteries at Acquia
Creek extends about six miles. They
appear to be in good condition. One
of their rifled gnus, a few days ago
threw a shell across e Potomac, which
is about four miles wide. As near as
can be ascertained, at least 15,000 rebel
troops are in that vicinity._
A wounded rebel picket guard. taken
by our men beyond the Chain Bridge,
says that since the affair at Hatteras
Inlet, thirteen regiments have left the
rebel army of the Potomac and gone
home.
A regiment of the rebel army was
distinctly seen this morning drilling on
Munson's Hill. No guns were visible,
but it is believed that they have some
mounted below the high entrenchment
that they have thrown up.
So far as heard, up to noon, all has
been quiet on the Virginia side of the
Potomac.
ROLLA, 310., Sept 9—Advices from
Springfield to Friday are to the effect
that no battle had been !ought between
Montgomery and Rains up , to Tuesday
last.
, 33en McCulloch was reported to be
at Fort Smith, and his troops werernn
route for Forte Walker, in Ail:ails*
Nothing definite was known of hik
future movements, but it was suppo,
sed that his force would remain near
the line, ready to act in concert with,
the Missouri troops as occasion might
require.
What Indiana is Doing.
A gentleman from Indiana, who has
made a careful investigation of the
number of troops, batteries, &c., raised
in that State, gives the following as the
result of his inquiry: There are ten
new regiments ready for marching
orders. They are in camp at various
points. Six three-months regiments
have reorganize,d "for the war," and
are ready for duty. There are six
companies of cavalry,and four batteries
of rifled cannon. With these in the
field, Indiana will have 37,000 in the
ranks, and by the first of October she
will have 40,000, including one regi
ment of cavalry, which is now organ
izing. .
There arc, also, brass field pieces at
Lawrence, one at l, r evay, one at Jeff
ersonville, two at New Albany, two
at Madison, three at Evansville, and
four at Rockport. There arc also
twenty-five companies of Home
Guards in the border counties, are be
ing supplied with arms and accoutre
ments.
Indiana has thus nobly come to the
rescue of the Union from the influence
of traitors, and has set a worthy ex
ample to her sister States.
1 A French View of the American War.
[Translated for the Bulletin tom too Balla Jeurual
Debata.]
The fact no longer admits of doubt,
War, cruel civil war now rages in the
United States. Like all wars, civil
war must have an end, but it will be
either after one of the parties has over
come the other, or having exhausted
each other, the two parties agree upon
grounds of mutual conciliation, or ac
cept; the mediation of it neutral power.
Th:s time has not yet arrived, and not
withstanding the celerity of events ill
the present age, years may elapse be
fore such a time shall be reached.-
- Hence the longer the war lasts, and
the greater the chances for new com
plications, the greater will be the ex
panse of the field of possible conseqZien
ces to the strife between the parties to
the late Union.
It is it curious study to deduce the
results -which may conic front these
great events. Among the possible con
sequences, there are some which are
probable, and others which are inevi
table; let us say a few words of each
class. Among the first class the most
prominent is the destruction. - of the
Union. In the struggle the forces arc
not equally matched, and we say-it in
spite;of the defeat at Manassas. The
N,Orth, which not hear of dismem
hehtierit;' 'Surpasses its opponent in,
'numbers as well as in wealth, which is
now more than ever the sinews of war;
for the North is_rich and the South
poor: { ;It. has right on its side, and
efintentls' for tho cherished principles
ofOitiljzation: It is right, for the
1.134.0:41iii intended to be perpetual,
4 . 4*(0 has not happened) the ma
.l abuse its puwer and vie
e, AE zYi iiiet: '
Tha orth - stands upon the national
pritii4As and the South only secedes
to perpetuate the slavery of a race of
men. But Union is impossible if not
voluntary. It would be a subversion
of the very axioms of the United States
to attempt IL forcible Union of States,
which desire separation. It is thus
that the Union, be the chanOes of war
what they may, is to be regarded
broken ; for we can no longer doubt,
that the South desires to secede.
If the Union be destroyed how many
fragments will there be ? The present
- probability is that there n ill be two
unequal parts. On the one side the
mass of the States, and on the other,
seven or eight States in the Southern
part of the country, Florida, Georgia,
the Carolinas, Alabama, the greater
part of Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkan
sas and Virginia, and some counties of
Tennessee and Kentuckti•. The North
and \Vest cannot leave the. South in
the possession of tilt mouths of the
Mississippi, nor of the course of this
majestic and useful river. For this
reason, the shores of Louisiana, Missis
sippi and Arkansas, which are bathed
by this liver, will be disputed with
vigor by the North and West, and it
seems to me they must retain posses
sion of them, including even the city
of New Orleans.
Certainly such a division might he
made, events becoming more compli
cated, ;Ind the strife Ail, continuing,
division alight be pushed farther. Let
us cite a possible case.
The old West, that is to say the
States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Michigan, has
had no reason up to this time to desire
separation from Boston, :New York
o:ren t and pros
perous Metropolts ot the 7s - ortn - .
people are of the same blood, have the
same aims and interests, provided that
the powerful cities of the North, and
the States to whose prosperity they so
materially contribute, should not of
fend the agricultural States by too
much protective legislation.
But there is in the fill. 'West a region
which spreads along the Pacific ocean,
which will soon constitute three or
four States, California Oregon and oth
ers yet to be organized, without men
tioning Senora, which will be taken,
from Mexioo. This region has been
able to exclude slavery. Its sympa
thies arc with the North. But if Con
gress, to defray expenses of the war,
should crush it with imposts, it is evi
dent that discontent will arise, and
this region will be disposed to establish
a separate government.
It is separated from the rest of the
Union by deserts and —inaccessible
mountains, aml its people might justly
'consider themselves strangers to the
existing strife. They are assured of '
the dominion of the great ocean that
washes their shores. They took to
the Union, it is true, for the boon of a
railroad, which spanning the ecntinent
shall connect them with the Atlantic
States, and this hope has been up to
this time a motive fbr remaining in the
Union.
But the Union be desolated by an
interthinable civil war, the building of
the railroad will be indefinitely post
poned; and the politicians of those
States will be violently exercised with
the idea of independence, which every
American has in his heart at birth.
Another probable consequence
t4_,.ciyll war will be the abolition of
Alt:4:eryeer at least the of the
lessening
arda,:whbre it exists, as well as of the
'vigor, which characterizes it in the
United States. Up to this time Con
gress has prudently refused to adopt
abolition principles; but if the war
continue, it is certain that this senti
ment, already powerl'ul in some parts
of the North, will spread among the
excited people, and willingly or other
wise Congress must- follow the move
ment, because public opinion cannot
be resisted. The gibbet of the unfor
tunate John Brown has made ardent
proselytes to the cause of emancipa
tion. These proselytes only wait for
an occasion. Will not the civil war
furnish it?
Another probltble consequence of
existing events is the formation of an
other great maritime power. The
North unites in a great degree all the
elements for such a formation, It has
many and excellent sailors, the best
whale fishers in the world, and these
sailors aro commanded by intrepid
captains. The North is possessed of a
great part of the mercantile navy of
the world. What the mariners of
Holland were in the 17th century, (the
carriers of the sea,) Americans of the
North are to-day. American ship
builders excel in their art. It was
they who invented the sharp clippers
and fist sailors of 1810, and thocfollow
ing years; and it was they who in late
years constructed the modern clippers,
which have the symmetry of frigates,
but surpass them in speed.
North America;.uP to this time upon
a peace footing,-has bad but a nominal
navy. She was content to show her
self from time to time in the ports of
Europe, with a small number of frig
ates and corvettes, whose admirable
condition excited universal commen
dation. The - necessities of the exist
ing war will determine •Congress to
organize more formidable armaments,
if it were only to blockade the ports
of the South, and sweep off her priva
teers. Foresight, in view of the uncer
tainty of foreign intervention in the
blockade, will decide Congress not to
be niggardly in this particular. There
are now but two navi&s in the world,
those of England and Prance. There
will be hereafter a third, and it will be
a worthy rival of the older ones.
Among the eventual results we must
' look for a grand chance in the political
institutions of North America. • The
political system of America implies
that the nation has no wars to wage,
no neighbor whose caprice or ambition
can bring about one. Under this sys
tem the governmental authority is not
felt, and the liberty allowed to the cit
izens is almost without limit.
The United States is a country where
centralization does not exist, where
the obedience Of man to man. is un
known; and under this policy the
country has made unparallelled prog
ress, which proves that the system
was good. It was the best which could
be chosen. But it was based upon the
hypothesis of peace, and the absence
of unquiet neighbors. These condi
tions are not reversed. War exists,
and must be carried on vigOrously.—
The troops JMISt, submit to discipline,
and though the words may be distaste
ful td Americans, let nit say it: Absolute
obedience is the law of alludes. Until
this exists, in spite ofi . ersonal bra
very, we may look for ich humilia
ting events as that at Manassas.
In the war of 1812 against. England,
the spirit of individual independence
engendered disorder. It brought upon
the Americans on land shameful de
feats. For'example, at the outset, Lhe
capitulation of General Hull with his
whole army, which was not in fact as
numerous as that of Brock. The rout
at Manassas may be ascribed to the
same cause. The only American gen
i oral who in the war of 1812 met with
signal success, was Jackson, who had
the temper of a dictator, and who vio
lated law whenever the law interfered
with his will.
The North, having- undertaken
against the South a war of invasion,
has a difficult role to play, and cannot
hope for success without abridging in
dividual right, and establishing an ef
fective centralization. Without this
all its enterprises mast fail. But the
reform and organization of which we .
speak are not possible without 01-
cm:telling upon the privileges guaran
tied to the individual by the political
system of the United States.
Among the final consequences of
this war, we may indicate one that is
not very distant, viz ; a radical change
in the political balance of the New
World. Separated from each other,
the North and the South will put into
force a btate, of things now existing in
Europe. Each division will have its
army, and with its hrmy to extend its
dominion in the direction in which
there appears the best chance. The
South harbors the idea, ill concealed.
of acquiring Cuba, the greater part' of
Mexico and Central America, it has
only been restrained in its desire of
conquest - or - mu-IN orum.---zr, I ib,s-1 7 .
act at pleasure, the South will send
new - Walkers, and new Lopezas into
the Spanish American Republics, or
into the Island of Cuba, and after hav
ing sent them, they will be openly
sustained.
The North has always had a desire
to annex Canada, which, by the St.
Lawrence, command one of the grand
est outlets of the continent. El e their
independence was acquired, the Amer
icans sent an army, ably commanded
by an officer destined later in his career
to disgrace his flag, General Arnold,
who reached Quebec, but failed to take
it. The attempt was renewed at the
opening of hostilities in the war of 1812.
In this direction success is less easy
than against Mexico; they must rely
upon the assistance of the Canadians.
It must be observed that the moment
the North is separated from the South,
and has abjured all sympathy with sla
very, the repugnance which the idea of
annexation has always excited among
the Canadians, will be much lessened.
Among the efforts to be foreseen in
the passing events of' America, there
is one not only probable, hut absolute
ly certain, viz : that one of the largest
markets for the products of Europe,
will be closed. The American nation
consumed a large proportion of every
'kind of production of Europe ; 'now that
their resources are swallowed up by the
war, their consumption will be very
materially diminished. It is a great
misfortune for the workshops of Reims.
of Paris, of Elbenf; of Limoges, for the
vineyards of Champtigi'm and Borde
lais, as for the factories of Manchester,
Birmingham and Bradford, for those
of Switzerland, Belgium and the Zoll
verein.
Another result of the war which it is
not inopportune to mention is, that if
to the horrors of civil war should bo
added those of servile war, or if the
North, as it might easily do, should
blockade the ports of the Cotton States,
the groat element of the manufacturing
prosperity of Europe would be cut off.
This would be a severe trial of every
European State. To England, it would
be a calamity. 'Nay we not believe that
the British Government, in considera
tion of the welfare of its manufacturing
population, will make an energetic de
monstration in regard to the blockade
of the cotton ports ? If the labor of the
blacks be not interfered with, the cot
ton lutist be stored in the closed ports.
In this view of the question, are there
not terrible complications impending?
Whoever undertakes to foretail the
solution of these difficulties, assumes a
task of Herculean dimensions. Those
who essayed to sketch the probable
consequencds of the revolution of 1759,
painted very plausible pictures, but
which were grossly erroneous. No one
of them ever dreamed of the man whose
extraordinary genius and powerful will
changed tin. supposed course of history,
and carved for himself a new cradle,
from whence proceeded events as
strange as unlooked for.
It is very possible that these conjec
tures may be false; there is one Ma,
however, that wo assert without fear
of contradiction, i. a., that the crisis in
American affairs is no ephemeral ite,ci
dent; it is a grand event, of which we
shall soon know the dimensions. An
immense force, formerly occupied in
regular pursuits, has been thrown into
byways, not only with imposing num
bers, but with a great display- of polit
ical paSsion. Front this condition of
things some great event must - ensue.
The mountain is in labor, and uncle); cir
mstances in which we can expect the
birth, of a mouse.
Siolmeas in the Rebel Camp,
[Cot I eapoildenco of the Memplil4 Appeal.]
iticamoNn, Aug.-53 , .—1 regret to be
compelled to give you a most unfavor
able account of the health of our' roops
now in the field. The inaction of the
several large bodies of men in different
portions of the Commonwealth, for
three weeks past, must be attributed
chiefly to the crowded state of their
hospitals. In the peninsula the ty
phoid fever has been prevalent, though
happily not in a malignant Ibrin.
At Manassas and Acquia Creek also,
this malady has prostrated a consider
able number. In Riehmond, or rather
in the camps around it, fifty per cent.
of the troops, at least, have been strick
en down with incase's. Private hos
pitals for the reception and better
treatment of the invalids have teen
opened from day to day, until every
street, almost every square of the city,
has its long sick list, and the ladies are
worn out in their attentions to the
sufferers.
They do not wearyln the spirit of
their good work ; but excessive watch
ing Will exhaust the physical powers.
As yet there has been no great tiitalit,y
among the thousands of eases, but, just
as soon as a dozen have been dis
charged as well from an hospital, their
beds have been filled, and there is no
diminution in the number of new ca
ses. Possibly the change of tempera
ture of the thll months may cheek the
spread of the disease, and but a few
weeks remain to us before the frost.
A REQUISITION PROM . GEN. MAO ICU DER
There has been much speculation to
day occasioned by a requisition on the
ladies by Gen. Magruder for a large
number of flannel hags for artillery
charges. Almost all the common car
tridges have been used daring the war
in Virginia except the fixed ammuni
tion, which were made by the delicate
fingers of the Richmond ladies in base
ments of our churches.
Cromwell's recommendation to his
Ironsides, " Trust in the Lord and
keep your powder dry," would seem
to be heeded by these matrons and
maidens f the new Israel, for the lit
tle sacks they make, though not im
pervious to water, are the cunningest
of all powder receptacles. What Gen.
Magruder can want of so many, un
less he is apprehensive of an immediate
attack by old bandy-legged Wool, no
body can tell.
Woo to Wool, however, if he designs
anything of that - sort. Though much
thinned out by sickness, the troops in
the peninsula are anxious above all
things to have a chance at the Yankees.
But a very small number of those who
are now in Magruder's command wcl•e
in the battle of Bethel, which has been
the only opportunity of ,using their
weapons the war has yet afforded them.
GREAT mixt:Bs AMONO THE TROOPS.
Anothereorrespondentof the Appeal,
It 5. Abernathy, Captain of Company
19th Mississippi Regiment,
_says
trg:
Since we pitched our camp here,
gloom and sorrow have saddened the
countenances of all, owing to the dis
tressing fact that disease and death
Lave prevailed among us.
Our exposed condition during our
camp on Bull Run, and the want of
proper food and water, was a serious
blow to this regiment and to all the
troops that were likewise unfortunate.
In proof of this I will mention that
out of forty-seven bundled in the bri
gade, only twenty-three hundred re
ported for duty on the 20th inst., and
companies that before ordinarily turned
out on drill and parade from sixty-five
to ninety men, do not now turn out
more than eight and ten files per day.
The hardships and sufferings conse
quent upon the movement of General
Johnston's division of the army, which
resulted in such glorious success to our
cause at Manassas, has, I dare say,
prostrated fully one-third of his force.
Nearly every day the sound of mus
ketry proclaims the death of some
Southern hero who has 'ellen a victim
to disease in camp, and over whose
grave blank cartridges are fired as the
lust military honor paid to the dead.
But I am happy to state that a timely
improvement in the weather (which
has been excessively cloudy and rainy,)
has brought with it a marked change
in our health.

The War--.lts Origination.
[from the Baltimore Clipper.]
Xo honest man will for one moment
deny, that the civil war in which we
arc engaged, was originated by the
South; the excuse for the seizure of the
forts, and arsenals and mints, was
that the .election of Mr. Lincoln ren
dered such a step necessary, as the pe
culiar institutions of the South were
endangered. That this was merely an
excuse all concurrent history proves
-the State of South Carolina origina
ted trice plot and set the ball in motion,
and carried out the execution of the
plan last MI, contrary to the earnest
entreaty of Ler neighbors, even of the
Gulf States, who begged that she would
wait and consult and act with her sis
ters who were as much or more inter
ested in the matter - than lterselt: But
).tone of their coun
sel—she would ffciftir herself, wrid-vritib-!
tha'. haughty and domineering pride
in which she has been alwaysiudulged
as a spoiled child, she declared that
they would be dragved into the muss
she was preparing for them whenever
she took the tinarst4. Towards Vir
ginia her conduct wassail more super
'cillious when she sent commissioners
to beg her not to ba hasty or rash, and
sent them back to the Old Dominion
in the most contemptous manner, and
afterwards, in connexion with her
neighbors, to, force Virginia into their
measures, it was decreed that no slaves
should be brought into the Confederate
States from any of the slave States in
the old Union, without paying a tax of
;$lOO a head. Here, perhaps, was the
secret, how the Virginia Convention
slave-dealers, whose headquarters are
at Richmond and whose business is to
purchase the surplus ncgroes of Vir
ginia for the cotton and rice plantations
of the Gulf States, and who command
great wealth and influence, by and in
their trade, gathered an immense mob
in the precincts of the 03pital where
the Convention was in session, itnd lit
erally threatened personal violence
upon the members unless their demands
were complied with. The deed was
done, and the woful consequences to
the mother of States is now beingex
pe•ienced.
That the plot was hatching for this
dissolution of the Union, long before
Mr. Lincoln was ever known outside
of his own State, no reader of history,
or observer of passing events in the
political history of our country for the
last forty years, can for ono moment
doubt innuinerable evidences can be
produced, mostly, it is true, front the
ambitions and restless public men of
South Carolina, but still, they have
finally compelled, or coerced others to
unite with them. Immediately after
the ntdifieation drama in 1835, after
the attempt had been made to acccom
plish the same object by the tariff
question but tidied by the stern con
duct of Old Hickory, Mr. Calhoun, on
his return from Congress, declared
"that the South never could be united
against the North on the tariff ques
tion—the sugar - interest of Louisiana
would keep her Out—and that the basis
of Southen union must be shifted to
the Slavery question." The tariff was
then, as the negro question has since
become, a mere pretext for the disso
lution of the Union, which Washing
tou in his farewell address, in the most
solemn manner warned his countrymen
to frown upon with indignation at its
first dawning ' and which advice has
been mainly kept in view, up to the
last Presidential election, except in the
rebellious State of South Carolina.
Gen. Jackson, whose patriotism and
true American feeling none doubted,
however they may have differed about
some of the leadinc , measures of his
administration, understood the designs
of Calhoun and his co-workers, and
denounced them in no measured terms.
On the first of May . 1833, whilst iu the
Presidential chair, ho wrote a private
letter to his friend, the Rev. A. 3. Craw
ford, of Georgia, which letter is. in part,
as follows :
. "I have had n ; laborious task hero, but
nullification is dead. and its actors and cour
tiers will he'remembered by the people only
to be execrated of th3ir wicked designs to
sever and destroy the only good Government
on the globe, and that happiness and prosper-
ivy we enjoy over every other portion of the
world. llanzau's gallows ought to be the fate
of all such ambitious men, who would involve
our country in a civil war and all the evils ire
its train, ttnit they might reign and ride on
ds whirlwind and direct the storm. Thefree
people of these United States have spoken,
and consigned these wicked demogogues to
their proper doom.
,Take care,
o of ;lour Nul
lifiers—you have them amongst you. Let
them meet the indignant frowns of every man
who loves his country.
"The tariff, it 'swell known, was 'a mere
pretext." (lie then give" , the preof.of this,
afforded by the recent course of Calhoun, and
bis tools in Congress, on ,the new tariff bill,
which they voted fur, although it gently in
creased the duties on coarse woolens and other
articles consumed by the South. arid closes

only the pretext. and Disunion - sod it SuuTli-

The old hero with a prophetic voice,
warned his countrymen of the oli
garchs of SOuth Carolina, and the elec
tion of Lincoln was merely r thc instru
mentality which they grasped, at, to
bring upon the country the horrors Of
cival war now upon us, which the Gen
eral and all other of our distinguished
men who have alluded to the possihli
ity of an attemptat the dissolution of
our - Union ' have not failed to predict
would be the result:
An lowa Girl discovered in Soldier's
Costume,
(From the St. i:ouis Republican.]
The war now prevailing in this once
great and glorious country has already
given rise to many strange and roman
tic adventures; but nothing more iii
teresting than the following 1188138 yet
made known to us. The facts are these:
Early on Wednesday morning some
of the police officers at the Central
station discovered a young soldier pat4s
ing on the-opposite side of - th . o street.
The young soldier's step was very elas
tic complexion fhir and hands 'small
and rather delicate. These little cir
cumstances excited the suspicions of
the policemen, and followingthe yount . ,P
soldier a square or two, they deemed
it proper to take him into custody. He
gave his name as Charles li. Williams,
and seemed somewhat surprised and
not a little indignant at being thus in
terfered with. He exclaimed that he
was merely on his way to the Repub-
Urea office, to obtain a copy of that
highly interesting newspaper. This
fact the policemen' we're -ready to ad.
mit was well calculated to show that
the 3 oung soldier had excellent judg
ment and discretion ; but nevertheless
they were of the firm conviction
that the fbir complexion, the delicate
bands and various other peculiarities
which they had observed about the
young soldier, were not wholly of the
masculine order. So they took the
young soldier to the police station, and
there blushingly and confusedly, he,
she or it admitted that the suspicions'
of the policemen were well fbunded—
in short, the youngsoldier wasa young
lady.
__ln company with Captain Tar-•
ner, we visited the romantic young
creature d ri lig the forenoon. A finer
looking soldier we have never seen.
Her eyes were largo and lustrous, her
fbatures regular ; hair jet black and cut
in the most approved masculine style,
nose aquiline and mouth perfectly de,
lieious, so to speak. In addition to
these intone Ling - particulars,-her de
meanor was modest and graceful, and
- extremely pleifsin - g. She seemed to he
in.the enjoyment of excellent health,
and looking ad though fist pork awl
soldier life had been rather beneficial
to her constitution. •
She related the story of her adven
tures frankly and modestly. She was
born in the town of Davenport, lowa,
where her mother at present resides.
For several years she has resided in
Lyons, Clinton county, lowa, and it
was from there sho enlisted, not quite
three months ago, in the Second lowa
regiment, Col. Curtis. Her company
was Company I, Capt. Cox. It was in
this company she had a friend, who
was a lieutenant. She loved the lieu
tenant, and so she clipped her raven
locks short off, obtained a suit of boy's
clothing, packed her Crinoline, etc., is
a trunk, and presented herself in male
attire to Capt. Cox, stating her desire
to "g o fora soger." The captain eyed
her sharply, and sa4d, " You'ro nthet.
young, ain't you ?" "I am - twenty,"
she replied, "and am anxious to serve
my country." So the Captain accep
ted the young volunteer, and she at
once shouldered arms. _ She states,
however, that Capt. Cox subsequently
discovered her sex, but, at her urgent
solicitations, permitted her-to remain
with her company, and particularly
advised her not to go about the streets
of St. Louis alone.
She followed ;the fortunes of her reg
iment from lowa to this city, and from
thence to Bird's Point, and became
exceedingly proficient in the use of
Ilardee's tactics. A few days ago the
regiment returned- to this city, but the
young volunteer was unable
. to come
along with it, having been detailed to
attend to the silk in the hospital oil
the steamboat City of Warsaw. Yes,
terday evening (Tuesday) the Warsaw
came up to this city, and brought along
the young volunteer. She at once
made inquiries concerning herregimont
but ascertaining that it was stationed
at the Barracks, she concluded to re,
main for the night in the city, She
proceeded to the residence of a family
on Seventh street, with whom she was
formerly • acquainted in Davenport,
math: herself known, and was kindly
cared for. Sho rose early, to obtain
the latest and most rebeliable news, as
already stated, and thus fell into the
hands of the police.
Captain Turner asked her ifshe would
resume her proper dress if he would
release her, and she faithfully promised
she would do so, and she was thereupon
set at liberty, and conducted to the
residence of her friends on Seventh
street. She regretted that she would
be unable •to draw her three months'
pay, (the term of. her enlistment hav
ing nearly expired) affirming it as her
belief that she had earned the $lO per
month, and was as much entitled to it
as any masculine soldier.
