Mr. MePhers0n.s FurIough Proposf-
t1nyD.

Our Washington dispatches some days since
made mention Of tho following Important
proposition:
Hon. E. Mcpherson Of Pennsylvania has iu-
troduccd into the House bill relative to fur
lougls, which authorizes Colouels Of Voluu-
teer regiments, which have been in actual SER
vice OF the United States at least six months,
to grant furloughs to the non-commissioncd
officers and priyates Of their respective COM
mand5, umi!ing the number absent at one
time to three from each company; and
provided that the President, Secretary Of War,
Commanding General Of q Department, Army
Corps, detached Division OF Brigade may, By
general order, prohibit the granting Of such
furlougha during period otexceeding thirty
days from the issuing Of the order, when il
his opinion the exigencies Of the service i'm.
peratiyely require it.
The passage Of such measure would have
Il cheering effect upon the army, and, by re
moving the present artificial or faulty system,
and reposing discretion with the officer best
qualified to judge the men, would secure a
more judicions administration in this respect

FEMALE SOIDIER-Y esterday a female dressed in
soldiers clothes surrendered herself to the Mayor and
sent before the provost marshal. She gave Arnold
as her name.
We had not the pleasure of an introduction to this
female patriot, bat learn from these who more
fortunate, that she aIpears to be woman OF intel
gence and gentle breeding. She gave the of re-
spectacle houses here in the city who knew her 10 her
proper sphere when she resided in Arkansas where che
says she plantation. Her story is quite TO-
mantle one.
She asserts that she was arrested at Richmond on
suspicion of being unfrierdiy to the South, but was
treated very cvly while held prisoner. She claims
to have been in the battles of Manassas and Belmont
and to have been with the army in Kentucky.
She says she left here ir response to the call of Gen
Beauregard for nneydays volunteers and that she Was
10 the battles of the 9th and 7th in which she was
wounded in the foot and hand. She came back to the
city with the wounded
Her reason for making known her se1 at this time
was the fear of detection and consequent trouble
She before the provost-marshall yesterday and is
to have another interview with that functionary today
Her reason for the course she has ADOPTED is, that
she is collecting material for history Of the war, and
that she adopted male attire the plan best calculated
to enable her to carry out her design.
She has desire to abandon her project if permitted
to prosecute it in her own way. There are others
gagged with her, but their names she deems proper to
withhold. That she is extraordinary woman there is
no question, and curiosity is excited to know more
OF her history and her adventures 10 male attire.

We had the pleasure this morning of having brief
conversation with two highly deligent gentlemen from
New Orleans, from whom obtained some item5 Of
information upon doubtful points One to the mutt
ny at Fort Jackson which we learn compelled the sur
render. The Fort garrsoDed mainly by regiment
Of Louisiana regulars and bad fought with great courage
ard endurance indeed Gen Duncan gives thenhhe highest
praise fighting men, but when the enemys fleet had
got past, they thought the game up and suddenly
determined to f. ht 70 more. So unexpected was the
mutiny that measures had been taken to que it, and
when it developed ITSELF it embraced nearly every COM
pany. Fort ST. Phillip on the left side of the river
taken in the rear by Buffers forces landing at the
quarantine station. About the location of Fort St.
Phillip there is but strip OF land rot over
mile wide, separating the Mississippi River from the
waters Of the Cult outside When Butler got his troops
landed there above the Fort, and the gun-boats had
passed up the river, little could be done.
Forts Jackson and ST. Phillip were the only river
detences at all worth naming The hundred guns that
said to line the river banks above were not there
At Chalmette there works mounting guns for land
service, say 24s aud 32s, but these did not 90 much
aud could not do much against naval steamers
There seems to be impression that the naval forces
did not properly cooperate with the other forces and
offences Gen. Lowell did not have full control! and Or
ders from Richmond, or other place, seemed to
thwart him in regard to the navy. The men and off
GERS on board our boats fought desperately
The people of New Orleans are sound to the core
Commodore Farragut is spoken of as emnenty cour
teous and apparently anxious to avoid all appearance
of harshness. Some of his subordInates seem anxious
to force him into different course
A good deal of bitterness is felt towards Genera
Lowell but we should Judge that the more intelligent
acqut him of any suspicion of treachery. His force
had been very much weakened 10 reinforce cur army a.

but it is not twenty thousand.

Editor Savannah Republican:
You have doubtless heard of the demand made upon
short time since for an unconditional surrender Of
this place. 1t really yes, cooy and deliberately de-
manded but sternly denied by our brave commander
Major R. B. Thomas. They gave us twenty-four hours
TO get the women and children out of the way But
they have taken good not TO come to US anv
more, though thirteen times tweutytour hours have
psssed away The Major thinks they will yet come, and
bsdibg himself in readiness We intend to give them
fight if they give US any sort efa showing. Our boyg
are anxious to wipe the stigma of of Florida.
Quite number of prisoners have runaway from Kew
West and have reached here. They report great deal
of Sickness there there being about O00 troops on the
island and 500 of them in the hospital with small pox
and Other diseases.
1t may be that disease will force them to leave Kew
West and try and occupy Tampa They are also much
in netd of water All we want is ia r showing and
by the help of God will drive them back when they
come. W.

The Mobile Register of the 29th inst says:
We have couversed with very intelligent friend who
passenger by the last train from New Orleans that
has reached this city That train left at O'Clock OF
Friday morning. We gather the following Up to
about O'Clock Thursday morning universal confidence
was felt In the power OF the Forts commanded by Gen
Duncan to resist the passage of the enemys feet. AT
that hour the startling news received that some OIL
