officers put up at the same hotel. After
awhile the surgeon awoke from his slum'

EventfuI History Of a Soldier
.. . Woman. ...

Mrs. Frances Louisa Clayton called
at the Provost .Marshal's Office, in this
city, Thursday, with letters from officers,
to procure pass to her home in Min.
nesota. Mrs. Clayton enlisted as q
private with her husband in Minneso-
ia regiment, some two years since. She
was in RoSecranS army, did full duty as a
soldier nearly year before her sex was
discovered. While in the amy, the
better to conceal her sex, she learned to
drink, smoke, chew and swear, with the
best, or worst Of the soldiers. She stood
guard, went on picket duty, in rain and
storm, and fought on the field with the
rest, and was considered good lighting
man. ..........t .... '-'...... '..,.. -
At the battle of Stone River, while
making charge, her husband was in
stantly killed bya ball, just five PAGES
in front of her, in the front rank. She
charged over his body with the rear
line, driving the rebels with the bay
onet; but was soon struck with a ball in
the hip, and conveyed to the hospital,
where her sex was, of course, discovered.
On recovering sufficiently to travel, she
was discharged on the 23d of January
last, and sent North. On the way be-.
tween Nashville and Louisville, a guer-
rilla party attacked the train, and rob.
bed her of her papers, money, &c. At.
ter reaching home and recovering from
her wounds, Mrs. Clayton started for
the army again, to recover the papers
belonging to her husband; but was turn.
ed back at Louisville and ordered home.
By mistake her pass carried her to Kali
amazoo instead of Chicago, and she was
compelled to apply to the Provost Mar.
shal there, who sent her through this
way. .... E u. ..
She is very tall, masculine looking
woman, bronzed by exposure to the
weather, and attracted universal atten.
tion by her masculine stride in walking
erect and Soldierly carriage, and gener.
ally outre appearance. Some soldiers
following her rather too familiarly,

and promptly scattered the crowd. She

SOLITUDE.

The oeaseless hum of men, the dusty streets,
Crowded with multitudinous life; the din
OF toll and traffic, and the woe and sin,
The dweller in the populous city meets:
These have quit to seek the cool retreats
OF the untrodden forest, where, in bowers
Builded by Nature hand, inlaid with flowers,
And roof'd Withivy, on the mOssy seats
Reclining, l can while away the hours
In sweet converse with old books, or give
My thoughts to God or fancies fugitive
Indulge, while over me their radiant showers
OF rarest blossoms the old trees shake down,
And thanks to Him my meditations crown!

While busy thought calls up the past again.

And tread again in old familiar places!
