Female Nurses, The women nurses in
the United States hospitals have proved a fail
ure, except in few isolated instances The
failure is due to the want of properly educated
and thoroughly devoted women, adapted to
this work The Sisters Of Charity is the only
organization that has yet, in our military hos
pitals succeeded in utilizing womens labor.
Miss Dix still continues to exert herself to in-
troduce women into the hospitals, but with
only partial Success A recent order of the
Secretary Of War still gives her full power to
assign women to hospitals, but it is doubtful
ifanytbing useful will result until women are
thoroughly trained TO this special work.

an hour, quiet was restored and order pre-
served, and the hope was cherished that
rowdyism and turbulent disturbance was
over for the night but 10 in spite of all
custody, the Senator forces his way into

Of the Chair, holding to two desks to pre-

be heard.

Mr.. .Saulsbury-"No, Sir; 1 will not

Amid loud cries of "order,' Mr.. Sum-

Of the Sergeant-at-Arms, yet he was on
the floor Of the Senate
Tile Chdir-"The Senator is in the

he makes any further disturbance he will

by any man.
He however sank into a seat, swearing
he would not go out, and calling Mr.
Sumner "a God id Abolitionist"
Then muttering to himself, he went into
a cloak-room, attended by the Sergeant
alarms. Soon after emerging, he reeled
to his own seat, and again endeavored to
make Il disturbance. He rose to his feet
but the effort was too much-he swayed

for the timely assistance of the Sergeant

ancestors would have descended still

The scene was almost over. Sinking
sullenly down into his seat placing both
feet upon his desk, with disordered hair,
half closed eyes. his hands hanging loosely
down, his head dropping to one side, nut
tering to himself, the honorable Senator

TO their interrogatories. There was Mr..
Pancoastr from Hampshire county, Vir-
glnia, who was another of the "inyinci-
bles." lie was a man of wealth. and over
eighty years of age. lie could have been
released had he taken the oath of alegi-
ance. His daughters were permitted to
see him, and with tears and entreaties they
besought him to ITO take the oath rather
than suffer, and perhaps die in that horri-
bic place. But their affectionate appeals
did not avail. He said if his property,
liberty, and even his life were to be sacri-
feed, it should be din the cause of the
Union and no other"
Mr.. Wiser thinks that he is still in
prison.
One of the saddest cases of the war was
that Of Mr.. Bishop, who lived in Fairfax
county, near where Mr.. Wiser was taken.
Mr. Bishop was most respectable amia-
BILE, and venerable old gentleman, living
In the most retired manner with his sol,
away from the public roads, and seldom
leaving his home. He was seventy-fve
years of age, and his sight was consider
ably impaired. He was confding, gener-
GUS and hospitable. Rebel soldiers, under
the guise Of Union men, partook of his
hospitality, betraying his confidence and
he was dragged off to prison. All that
was proved against him W IS that ''hs face
frightened when he thought Union sold
iers were under his roof and thai he said,
" Whoever you areJ you are hungry, gou
are aoetcome to partake Of my poor fare, but
If yOu are Union boys, Col bless you ind
your cause but am old aoaD, and young
men must do the Dork y He, with Mr..
Wiser and several others in the vicinity
of Drainsville, were taken off at the same
time to Fairfax Court house. This was
some time in August, 1851, From Fair
fax Court House this venerable old man
was hurried through the deep mud on foot
all the way to Manassas junction.
He was supported by his fellow-prison-
ers on each side, or he would many times
have fallen on the way. In the Richmond
prison he grew more and more feeble
The utmost sympathy was excited by his
extreme age and his kind genial manners
The Massachusetts prisoners received
box of clothing from home, and they had
tne poor olu gentleman stripped OF MS
filthy clothing, which was filled with
vermin and he was washed and dressed
in new suit A large tobacco box was
procured in which cot was placed, and
this was his "bed room" After several
months he was released, only in time to
die, and he hoped it might be under his
own humble roof His Imprisonment had
so impaired his faculties that after being
pat upon the railroad he gave to the con-
ductor confused statements, and before he
reached fairfax Court House he had lost
his papers. lie was helpless, without
friends, and still in the hands of the enc
my. He was consigned to Orange Court
House Jail, and there he died.
Mr.. Wiser has other interesting incl
dents of his prison life which will be
furnished at another time.

ADVENTURE OF A ScoUNDBEL.-A fell
low arrived at St John, n B., few days
ago, in a vessel OIL which he had sought
passage from Boston, claiming to be q
British subject. When the vessel had
proceeded some distance to sea, he reveal
ed himself as a deserter from the Federal
army. lie said that he first enlisted in
Portland (where his family resides, and
receiving his bounty, he succeeded in haV-
ing his name placed on the hospital list,
and afterwards escaped to Boston, where
he again enlisted, receiving a bounty of
S235, and vanished. He Immediately
hired on board an English steamer and
made trip to England and return, when
he left the vessel and tried his fortune at
another enlistment receiving another
bounty, and made his exit by this vessel
bound to St. John.
The craft was obliged to enter Portland,
when he left her to visit his wife and chill.
dren, but returned prior to her departure,
and arrived with the vessel at st. John.
He said that his family had and were re-
ceiving three dollars per week from the
State during his absence, and in case of
the suspension of this provision, he should
send for them to come and reside in his
new found home The crew was so in
terested in his exploits that upon entering
British waters he was lathered and shaved
with an iron hoop, all of which he bore
with admirable sang froid and seemed not
ill-pleased with the ceremonies which
welcomed his transition from the country
he had so basely deserted and robbed.
