FEMALE SoLDIERs.-There seems to be
a strong penchant on the part of the
patriotic women of America" as Arte-
mus Ward or Orphous C. Kerr would
say, to get into soldier clothes. In pri-
vate letter from Wheeling, Va, we have
the following account of two or three of
the would-be Amazons:
Ten deserters were brought IN TINS
morning. Among them was a female
named Mary Jane Prater, dressed in
soldier clothes She joined the 32d Ohio
about seven months ago, under tue as
sumed name Of John Crockett. She was
detected few days since near Charles
town, Va, and sent to this place She
was raised at Galipolis, and is an orphan.
There was another female brought in
about month ago, who was captured in
company with number Of Jenkins
men. She had been in the rebel army
over year, and was rugged out in cavalry
uniform. Her sex was not known until
she was brought here. She gave herself
the name Of Harry Fitzallen; her true
name is Marian Mckenzie.
Still another female was arrested here
few days since as spy"

Military Items.

MIlltdF1 ltCtxtSs
No patriot can read Judge Hollis re-
view of the evidence and findings of the
Court Martial in the case of Gen. Fiz :
John Porter without having his blood
fairly boil. gc think that thousands up
on thousands of our brave men should
be slaughtered and millions upon millions
added to the public debt, on account of
the base treachery Of an upstart officer is
enough to set the people fairly on fire.
To read how complacently the fellow re-
clined in the shade Of tree with a
positive order from his commanding Gen
eral to attack the enemy at once in his
hands, with the roar Of cannon in his
ears and the dust and smoke of battle
binding his eyes, is intolerable. The
people will not endorse the finding of the
Court Martial. Their decision is, that
the traitor ought to be hung as high as
Haman, for his crime is more Infamous
than that of his Agagite prototype.
In contrast with the treason of Porter,
growing out of a mean jealousy of su-
perior officer, how glorious is the
conduct of our own Hoosier Burnside.
When superseded, he does not begin to
plot against his successor, but insists
on having command, no matter how
small, or else surrendering his position
in the army altogether, for he is unwill-
ing to wear Major Generals stars and
draw Major Generals pay without doing
something to merit the honor and earn
the pay. What a reflection does his con-
duct cast upon that of sundry other Ma
ior Generals who might be mentioned.
1t is stated that the citizens of Charles
ton have so little confidence in their abil-
ity to resist an attack by our iron clads,
and so fearful are they that their city
will be burned, that they have removed
everything portable, not even leaving be
hind the doors of their houses
Gen. Hooker has named Gen. Butter
field as his chief of staff. He is as gal
liant an officer as ever braved the storm
of battle.
Gen. Sumner was relieved of his com
mand, it is stated, at his own request
Gen. Franklin was removed, because o
the conviction at Washington of thu
necessity of such course. Franklin i
dissatisfied with his removal, and vii
demand Court of Inquiry, feeling con
fdent that he can show that the action
in his military career for which he ha
been most blamed have been done il
direct obedience to specific orders iron
Mcclellan. Should this prove true, tn
upshot of the affair would be cour
martial of Mcclellan himself, thing nc
unlikely to happen. Hitchcocks lette
accusing him of violating the orders {
the President is regarded as foreshadov
ing such a result.
1PpoIntnIenC regaTuGU Er " asnIngto
as an evidence that action will henc,
forward be the word with the Army {
the Potomac. Hooker will not be lon
in making up his mind.
Our news from North Carolina is yt
unsatisfactory. All we know is that on
troops are moving, and that they hav
been destroying some bridges. Ba
weather has materially interfered wit
Gen. Fosters plans, but we are confder
he will be heard from soon. 1t is yer
apparent that the rebels regard hi
movements with the greatest appreher
sion.

Bay- The fact oan no longer be dis
guised that those who are so anxious to
make peace with the rebels, are not the
friends of the soldiers in the field. The
bitterness with which they denounce the
soldiers for presuming to express their
opinions shows clearly their feelings The
brave men now periling their lives for
their country's sake, will treasure up
remembrance Of these things

D4~ We learn that the Rockport Dem
ocrat office was destroyed by mob on
Wednesday night, about O. clock. Some
charge it to the soldiers of the 9th Caval,
ry, though it is not certainly known who
did it.
The public well know our sentiments
on the subject of mobs; they are wolly un-
justifiable and unnecessary, and gener-
ally result in evil to the perpetrators and
their frlnds. What were the particular
causes Of this outbreak, we of course, do
not know, as we have but seldom read
the Democrat.

sas, few weeks since, was a letter from
Gen. Hindman, asking for clothes for
his troops. HIS says:

and the almost utter exhaustion of the
country. In this corps l could show him
1000 men absolutely in rags, without
counting the Indians The great ma
