From the Cairo Gazstte, AYri! lol

From the Cairo Gazstte, Aprl. 10
In some manner which yet remains TO
be explained, a young woman, above 10
wears Of age, arrived at Cairo several
days ago, with the l4lh Iowa, dressed
in soldiers uniform, and serving Captain
Crane, of Company A, in the capacity of
servant. She deported herself as male,
attended theatre, and answered as prompt
ly 10 the sobriquet of Charley as II 1t were
really her name. On Saturday she at
tended the theatre, and took scat
among her fellow soldiers, but her ds-
guise could not conceal her sex from the
searching eye of the Provost Marshall
Her feminine form ard womanly ways
were such, in his estimation, as the
sterncr sex never woe or employed, and
straight-way he caused her to be arrest :
ed. Capt. Crane saved her from incarce-
ration in the guard house, by promising
that she should adopt proper apparel and
be herself again. The secret leaked out,

her, and to exchange COM ecturcs, and TO
learn. if possible, the whcrcforcs connect

comp ,nion. The Colonel, receiving an
intimation ofthe affir, at once detcrmin
ed to investigate it, and dispatched his
Adjutant to push suitable inquiries. The
woman, discovering that her secret was
out, and that her presence IL such gart
was the theme for a thousand tongues,
determined to put an end to her own ex-
istcncc, and that Immediately. Accord
