Another Female Aide-de- Camp.

The insurgent Poles have been greatly
edited by the bravery of female aide-de-
camp of their late leader Langiewicz Like
the rebel General Stuart, the Polish chief
tain saw fit to attach woman TO bis staff,
but in something more than an honorary
capacity; for the young Russian maiden,
named pustoyoydoya, who joined the Poles,
was content with nothing less than the full
privileges of military rank, and seems to
have led one charge of scythernen with
singular gallantry. She is the daughter
of Russian Colonel and q Polish lady,
and has once suffered Imprisonment for
speaking evil of Russian dignitaries.
Reporting at Cracow at the outbreak of the
instruction, and insisting upon an assign
ment to ''active service" she was placed
on the staff of Langiewioz, and has already
had three horses killed under her in differ
ent engagements. Her age is about eigh-
teen years, and she is said to be very hand
some The male Poles all adore her, but
it is currently reported that the ladies of
Cracow ''cannot see what there is to admire
in her"

The News.

The news from the Mississippi is import
ant ard though at this time we depend en-
tirely upon Rebel reports, is unexceptionably
encouraging. From these reports we gather
that General Grant. after holding jackson,
the capital of Mississippi, long enough TO
destroy both the bridges over the Pearl
river, and the arsenal, manufactures, and
public buildings within tho city, fell back
to meet the Rebels who had retreated toward
Vicksburg. On the 18th desperate bat
tie took place at Edwards Depot, near the
railroad crossing Of the Big Black river,
and about eight miles from Yicksbprg.
1t is stated in the Richmond papers that
the fight lasted nine hours, and that the
Rebels were forced to fall back over the
Big Black. The Rebel correspondents,
however assert that no artillery was lost
and that the bridge was not burned.
4 few miles west Of Port Gibson the adj
vance of General Grants army found in
forest by the roadside two immense piles
Of bacon, each covering an area Of $500
square feet. piled as high as the branches
Of the forest trees, and each containing, by
estimate, 40, 900 pounds, Besides this, a
large number Of tents fell into our hands,
as the enemy had neither time or means to
take them with them
The Washington Star Of the 22d says
that dispatches received in that city state
that Stuart is believed to be massing heavy
force of cavalry at Culpepper Court House,
for raid within our lines. The impression,
however, is based SO far On rumor only
Vallandigham has left Cincinnati in
gunboat consigned to General Rosecrans,
who will send him beyond our lines.
There is no news Of Importance from the
Army of the Potomac. DIR. Webster re-
ports that all our dead of the late battles
on the Rappahannock have been buried.
