The New Orleans Delta tells the fol-
LONG curious story of the adventures of
rebel woman;
"A day or two since an adventurous
female, named Anna Williams, was
brought before the Provost Court for tri.
al. She is quite character Itappears
that she resided in this city several years
ago, in house of questionable character,
but managed by some deceptive arts,
which are best known to women, to win
the affections of an Arkansas planter,
who married her. She soon tired of
married life, however, left him, and next
appeared with our army in Utah,
where she became acquainted with many
under the name of Mrs. Arnold. The
rebellion broke out and Mrs. Arnold,
alias Mrs. Williams, was next found do.

battle of Manassas, as member of the
Seventh Louisiana regiment. She was
brought into public notice again last
spring, just after the battle of Shilo,
having been wounded in that engagement
as member of the lth Louisiana. On
that occasion she visited this city, and
was arrested for appearing in male attire,
but on account of what was then called
patriotic conduct she was dismissed with
honor. ai ...1
Nothing more was heard of her un-

was lodged to the effect that she had

man, with very masculine nature.
She spoke right sharply in her own de-
fence before the Court-said that although
she had been to Richmond and in the
rebel army, and participated in several
battles, she had never descended to play
the spy. She declared that she was now
strong for the Union. and was raising
her children up to revere the old flag.
The police accused her Of having been
engaged frequently to run the blockade
with letters by parties in the city, and
say that she is very dangerous charac-

dcnce in regard to the robbery of which
she stood accused, concluded that she was
guilty of the crime charged, and accor-

six months. This is a rather unroman-

From the Plattsburgh Express
The Adriondac Crane.

L
There is pleasant excitement in nou.l
logical circles over new grape recently
introduced to the public by John W. Bal.
ley, of Pittsburgh, N. Y. 1t is called
the "Adirondac,' in honor of its pat;vo,
locality. At the last State Fair in Rocb
ester, it received premium and special
commentator. Not long ago, the fru;t
growers of New York city, sent CON-
mittee to Plattsburgh to see ifthere was
any deception about the claims put forth
in behalf of the Adirondac. Mr..
Fuller travelled three hundred miles on
this genealogical embassy. and reported
the new grape as "a great acquisition"
J. ]. Thomas, oftbe Country Gentleman
says that lit cannot fail to become a ia.
vorite."
The editor of the Horticultmist, after
seeing and tasting, thus describes it:
sin general appearance it resembles the
Isabella but the bunch is more pointed
and the berries not quite so oval. The
skin is thin. The flesh is juicy. and
crisp. rather melting, with a little hard
ness in the centre. Its quite sweet, with
a favor that reminds one of the BLACK
Hamburg; yet is not high or very de-
cidcd. This Hamburg favor has caused
some to doubt whether it is a native:
but we have the vine growing, and its
native character is unmistakable. 1t is
said to ripen two or three weeks before
the Northern Muscadine and Delaware,
which would place its season, in many To-
calities, early in the month of August.
If this should prove to be so, its earliness
and good quality will give it much
value for Northern ATTITUDES. Another
year may add something more to our
knowledge on this point 1t is not
always safe, however, to predicate the
earliness of a grape upon the locality
where it originated, for local causes are
sometimes concerned in its matuaity
which do not operate generally, We
hope the Adirondac however, may prove
to be quite as early as it is thought to be,
for it will give us starting point for
something else, independently of this.
We believe the Fruit Committee of the
American Pathological Society report it
as promising WELL"

transports are nearly all chartered, COM
prlsing some of the finest steamers afoat,
and sailing ships are loading with sup
plies.
The Massachusetts 38th embarked at
Baltimore on steamers, and have been
transferred to the Baltic at Fortress Mon
roe. A letter from aboard the Baltic
says:--" understand that we are to sail
from here on Sunday next, as soon as the
feet are got together. The steamers are
taking on board stores and coal. The OK.
petition is to he large one, commanded
either by Banks or Hunter. The Baltic
as understand, is acting as the flagship
FORTRESS Monroe will be the starting point
and in less than week our expedition
will be under way"

A Revolutionary Prayer

Mr. EDuoR-Durng my boyhood frequently
heard my father, who was an orderly sergeant m
the armies Of the revolution, say, that on GER
tain occasion, on the very eve OF battle, his regl-
ment was drawn up 10 the form ot hollow square
to unite in prayer with the chaplain. The chap
lain, who was true revolutionary patriot and fully
imbued with the spirit those stirring times, was
very concise and aconie in his prayer TO Almighty
God Tor protection and success in the struggle.
He pr4yed that the enemy, who had come out
one way might be scattered and flee seven ways
before them, and that every bullet thrown out
from our gun, might either Kill or cripple AZ least
two men OF the enemy.
He concluded h. short and pithy prayer by
CRYING out to the soldiers, Rush on, rush on, my
brave fellows, or the sport will all be over before
YOU get there This was his form of amen, and
the best that could have been adopted on the oe-
Casion.
Our rihemen were then already engaged with
the enemy, and they needed the assistance OF this
regiment to render success certain and tne victory
complete. solomon tells US that there is time
for every purpose and for every work, and that "a
word htly spoken is like apples of gold IN pictures
of silver.
This is equally true OF timely action. At TIM
critical crisis of our affairs, every chaplain, every
minister of the gospel, and every good citizen
our country should cry out TO all the soldier
among US, who are enlisted for the war; and t
the many returned officers and men, who are nov
idly sauntering up and down our streets, in tn
language Of the revolutionary chaplain, "Kusl
on, rush on, my brave fellows, or the sport will a
be over before you get there" It's well know
"that an ounce OF prevention is better than
: pound Of cure" Timely aid is mrslr'dbie, bu
protfercd aid after the struggle over, is wors
! than nothing 1t would only prove an expensv
burden.
Let the laconic prayer, the prompt action an
d the kind Of" amen" adopted by this worthy re'
dictionary chaplain, be the prayer, the action an
+ the amen of every man, woman and child through

Woodstock, Sept. II, 1862.
The following extract from General order No.
III, from the War Department, dated Aug. 30,
1862, is published for the information OF all con-
cerned
As The sudden call for volunteers and militia
mas exhausted the supply OF blankets, tit for mill
tary purposes, in the market, and it will take some
time to procure by manufacture or importation a
sufficient supply, all citizens who may volunteer OIL
be drafted are advised to take with them to the
rendezvous, if possible, good stout WOODEN blan
ket. The regulation military blanket is e4x6t
inches, aud weighs five pounds.
As all clothing, blankets, and shoes issued b.
the United States TO its troops are charged at av
erage cost, and no soldier who furnishes his owl
blanket is required to draw one, it is to his int
rest to supply himself and thereby avoid muc
discomfort, as 1t is impossible for the Unite
States to supply all the troops Immediately.
