WARRINGTON, Fla, Sept. 20,-A woman in

seen one lately, and she comes upon most
painful and sorrowful mission, to see broth
er who is under sentence of death for striking
an officer, lie is fine locking young man.
| have never witnessed scene so narrowing
to my feelings, SO painfully impressive, IS
the prison scene, in which she frst met him.
never heard pathos and eloquencs equal to
hers. The spectators were in tears. / was
sent for by her and went to the prison.
would not for long time, announce my ar
rival, but stood at distance, held in awe by
the singular scene. In the dim light of the
prison, she was kneellng by her brother and
uttering such prayer az | never heard be-
fore. A friend and relative accompanied her,
and to him | at last announced myself. But
it was long before he could talk coherently.
MY God and this war p was his reitera-
ted exclamation. s.
His sister had hurried to see him at the
first notice of his situation She has labored
for his salvation, moral and spiritual, VITA

of the proceedings of the Court Martial, and
went as fast as steam could take her to

President was sick, but she saw the Secreta-
ry of War, and he advised her to come back
and get petition for his pardon Back she
came, and with great difficulty got one nu-
merously signed by officers. One officer Of
| high rank refused to sign it. She seemed
much affected at this, and asked me what
she should do. replied, Go to hin your
self, Madame, and he will sign it. | know
that you are irresistl ble and no man with .
heart in his body can say mo- to you had
signed it myself against my views of militia
ry discipline, but would have torn the ''ar-
ticles of war" into atoms, rather than grieve
that noble woman by refusing her request
She took my advice, went in person to the
rsfusant officer, and he did sign at. She
started that same night to Richmond again,
to plead for her brothers life. He was to
have been shot to-day at noon. This morn
ing an order came postponing the execution

She is young married woman, and lucky

indeed, jewel, and if her mother has any
more like her at home, l shall go to see them
when the war is over.
