The Heroic Women of History.

So noble subject as female hero
ism, or the deeds of the heroic women
of history, is theme we'll calculated
to inspire even the most timid bosom.
When we consider how these our
sisters have stood forward on the page
of history, how each Of taeir names
have become household words, and
their deeds have stirred in US an amount
patriotic ardor that awaited but the
zine to call into action, we cannot but
eel that there are amongst Us, even at
he present day, Jean dArcs, Gather
ues, and IaruIIas, with women as
Roman hearted as Volumnia, Valeria
nd Vergilia.
Has it been,anY peculiar amount Of
ducation or OF intei1ct with which
,ur lion hearted sisters have been gif-
ed? No; and herein is our peculiar
,oast. Native her9lsm springs not
ron wealth or honof from ambition

lit lurking in every wemans heart,
nd many are the tres'de martyrs and
pirit conquororsA who's silent foot,
teps the world knows hothing. There
re greater victories tlan those that
re won over cities; dreater suffering
han is known on the httles field.
OF the high and no4s amongst our
listers, we however, spefk gladly, feel
ng as we do that their kames, embia-
oned on the banners ef fame, are vet
sfeatsand honored witnEses OF all that

Interesting From Knoxville.

The editor the Marietta Confederate
conversed on 1uesday with cavalry Of
ficer of Crews Brigade, and soldier of
Kershaw's Brigade, the former of whom
left our lines around Knoxville Saturday
morning. They say that our troops csm-
pletely invest the city, from the river
above around to the river below it, the
riverside of the town being the only way
of insress and egress for the ensmy.-
Our infantry lines extend about two
thirds of the way around, and our cav.
airy the other third The cavalry ART
on the side of the city locking towards
Cumberland Gap, with the infantry, on
each side of them, extending to the river
bank. A body of our infantry, after
severe skirmish with the enemy, had
been thrown across the Holstnn, near
the mouth of French Broad, with a view
of preventing the enemy from planting
battery on the South ba.k of the river,
immediately opposite Knoxville, which,
it was said, they were attempting to do.
The enemy had pontoons across the riv-
er, and, holding the heights, would be
able to forage On the South side, if their
attempt succeeded.
Longstreets lines were close up to the
city. He drove the enemy from their
position on the high hill, just beyond
College Hill, geing from the city, and
the enemy attempted te charge and re-
take the position on Friday night last
and were repulsed by Kershaw's brig
ade, who followed them, and on Satur-
day occupied the valley at the foot of
the College Hill, only about 400 yards
from the enemy's battery. Prisoners
said they were short of ammunition.
One OF our batteries was within $50
or 400 yards Of the railroad depot. The
enemy had burnt the Humphreys
House, and the East Tennessee and Vir-
ginia railroad depots and machine shops
but had not burnt the East Tennessee.
and Georgia depots or shops.
Four thousand of the enemy were said
to be at Strawberry Plains, (15 miles
from Knexville) and Gen. Jones and
Ransom were shelling them from the
opposite bank of the river. This is the
only part of Burnside's force outside OF
Knoxville, except the remnant of Bird s
cavalry, which are beyond the river be-
low Kingston. The remnant of Wood
ford's cavalry are in Knoxville. Burn
sides force in Knoxville is represented
by prisoners TO be from 10000 to Is. 600
| and on half rations.
There was a rumor of Wheeler having
captured a battery and 400 prisoners,
| but il lacks confirmation.
Brownlow, Maynard and Baxtes are
said to have left Knoxville for Cumber.
land Gap on Tuesday last. Burnside hav.
ing issued an order advising all nor.
combatants to leaTe the city. 1t was
rumored that the Texan Rangers had
captured his press, type, &c.

CHAPTER II.

CIAE ER Ii.
For whole week these two charm
ing young people had been, in obedi-
ence to the laws of nature, looking at
snd admiring one another. with all
their might.
But Alexander was too sensitive and
romantic youth to put in practice
any OF the ordinary means of commu-
nlcatien available in, such cases. Love
IN the very young is too delicate
plant for contact with the coarseness of
the world. Thus, though by giving
dollar to the servant girl, Alexander
might, NO doubt, have conveyed let
ter to his innamorata, and ascertained
her name and every particular, it nev-
er entered his dreamy and ardent i'm
agination to adopt so very simple and
gross an expedient.
On the other hand, he was delighted
at the invention of means of com
municatioY which required no oAf-
c a1n1. ni.,.@a So5 Il Is ~ las.1 ! 2f
pissed presdnt-the Jfshing-rod.
At that moment, Alexander would
not have given the fshing-rod for all
the guns 10 the world.
Now the street in which Alexander
lived was highly respectable street,
but rather narrow. [ shall not more
mlnutely describe it, because I do not
/ wish to. shock its highly respectable
inhabitants by describing the sort of
goings-on to which their street is sub
ject. Many profound matter of fact
persons engaged in the importing of
hardware, and other profoundly matter
OF fact businesses, reside in tnat street
and who knows what effect the idea of
romantic proceedings in their neighbor-
hood might have on the minds of
these worthy traders!
Alexander having conceived his plan,
lost no time in putting it into execu,,
ton. The letter was written, attached
to the line by the hook, and dangling
fcem the rod ont of the window In a
few seconds. By the aid of a chair
back, the rod was fixed at an angle, and
enc swing of the line by Alexander's
dextcrous hand, landed hook and let
ter in the apartment of the unknown
, beauty.
/ The result was that the young cir
: hastily uohooked the letter, closed hel
| blinds and disappeared from Alexan-
| der's,view for that night, leaving MIN
+ prey to cruel doubts and perplexitie,
, which rendered sleep impossible.
$ However, on the following night, b,
4 perceived that the blinds were onI,
: partially closed, and by the aid of the
:, invaluable tisbing-rod, sent second
:. letter, full OF. young passionate protes
t tstions, winding up with these words
e For PHYS sake, if you would saw
r. my life, send me line in reply
Y "P. 81 will threw the line acros
e again, with something attached to it t

e This something was a small dacuer

FROM YESTERDAYS MISSISSIppIAN.
Yankee Cavalry al Brookha,cn.

About mid day yesterday some thirty
or forty OF the Yankee cavars dashed
into Brookhaven. burnt up eight cars.
and left 10 an eastern direction. This
was. perhaps. half the number Of cars
which were below Jackson. and will very
materially interfere with the limited
means Of transportation between Brook
haven and Jackson.
The Federals only stayed 90 minutes.
and did no damage to the track or place.
Heavy firing was heard all day yes
terday in the direction Of vicksburg.
II was thought By many TO be nearer
Jackson. but we presume the heavy re-
ports were made by The siege guns
around our gallant Gibraltar.
EE~ The bombsrdment Of vicksburg
continues without abatement. On Tues
day night the firing was very rapid.
EF The reported assault upon vicks-
burg lost Saturday. and the heavy loss Of
The enemy, has not been confirmed By
our later advices. 1t is probable there
was no such assault, as reported.
EF- The Little Rock True Democrat
publishes a dispatch on the 10th confirm.
ing the defeat Of the Federsls at Milliken's
Bend with 4 loss Of three thousand men
ard immense stores.
SKiRMtsH AT RrcnMosp. LA.---We
learn that slight skirmish between =
small body Of our forces and the enemy
took place at Richmond. La. but without
any material results. We have heard
none Of the particulars.
EF-The Yankee thieves around vicks-
burg take great comfort in the fact that
everything wiIhins thirty miles Of their
encampment has been Destroyed. This
we think . very poor return for the loss
Of SO. 900 men.
EF- Adyces from vicksburg. Of 4
