An Incident.

During the opening exercises Of the Great
Sanitary Fair at Cincinnati, the Rev. M. p.
Gaddis made an eloquent speech, and closed
bis remarks with an eloquent and happy
tribute to woman and ber work in the good
cause.
This remark called up Gen. Rosecraps.
President. Who narrated q very interesting
Incident OF female spy. WHO camo to his
headquarters more than yoar ago, and
stated that sbo felt it her duty to tho cause
OF her country to offer her services to pen.
citrate the lines of tho enemy and examine
it's condition. &C., and she hoped the Gen.
eral would allow her permission to 90 upon
that errand. After considerable inportu.
nifty she was allowed to go. and BY virtue
OF being an actress, she succeeded, al.
though, generally speaking, sbe was not CO
actress.
After being gone considerable length Of
time, there began to be considerable anxiety
for her return. and, although waiting pa.
ticntly to zoe her and learn her discoveries
she came not. When the Federal army took
possession Of Sbelbyville, Tennessee, they
found this woman in prison, condemned to
death as spy, and awaiting her fate like
patriot and hero. She had been rescued
just in time to save her from the doom
that awaited her. She was Immediately
sent to Nashville. where she was living sick
for number of months. "Tbis (Monday)
morning. said Gen. Rosecrans. II received
card bearing her name, and had an in.
terview with her. She had been washing
in Cincinnati for two weeks, in order to raise
means to take her to her friends, now resi-.
dents of New York. He asked the meeting
to assist him in contributing to this poor
womans necessities that she might pay her
board, DC, and reach the home of her
1 friends. A handsome collection war at
once raised, and would be given her by the
General.

ROBES OF HONOR.

They rise by high horaldic laws,
Who suffer in nations cause;
Exalted not, ne knights arc made,
With courtly oath and accolade.
Not gathered dross, nor ancestry,
Hath gained our peorage its degree
But rank is in its chastened mein
And sombre garb and step serene.
In street and chancel, unaware
How good men weary of their glare
The newly rich, before our gaze,
With broad armorial trappipgs blaze;
Fresh.gilt with fortunes that have growr
While heroes fal! and cop,ives moan,
Their costlest fabrics bear stain
A nations loss hath been their gain.
They pass; they Haunt their little hour
Ofsudden wealth and feeting power
Their scarlet drapories are red
With blood our patriots have shed
Each gem upon their robes appears
The crystal o: a mourner's tears.
But 10. bow grave and patient stand
The truer gentry of the land
No badges OF an old noblesse
Adorn the meekness of their dress
No broiderod scutcheon, worn aflame
With bar and scroll and ancient name,
No ribboned ordors on the breast,
Nor pendant star, nor stately crest
Yet, oil unseen, they bear cross;
A nations gain hath been their loss.
And robes of honor are their moed,
Deep sable, hung with Grape and weed,
Tho right of those ennobled welt
Whcn,sword in hand, their dear ones fell
How, in the mystic dress they wear,
The rude grow fine, the fair more fair
Their skirts with glory's emblems shine
And bodo long pairician line.
See, in our midst. that garb attires
Heroic mothers, childless sires,
Young orphans prattlng near a grave,
And all who mourn the fallen brave.
The silent widow wears her vail;
Aud oft some maiden, calm and pale,
Bends slowly DER q shattered helm,
To rise-a princess of the realm.
They date from many as grand field
AS ever quartered baron's shield;
From days whose legends shall endure
With Cressy and with Agincourt.
They guard, from henceforth Freedom,
throne
lnviolato within their zone; ...
Forever bounded to maintain ..
The laws made holy by their slain.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s, 1853.
Great events, and strange coincidepces
crowd themselves into the life of each pass
ing day. So rapidly Goss one tread in the
receding footsteps of the other, that we
coase to be startled by them as in ordinary Y
times, when tho routine of life is seldom
broken in upon by occurrences of sufficient
moment to become historic.
A few days ago, the GROWING section to
tho Statue of the Goddess of Liberty that
stands upon tho magnificent domo of the
Capitol, was elevated to its place, amid the
cheers of thousands and the roar of glad
artillery. Liberty was thenceforward to
preside owe. the deliberations of the Ameri.
can Congress. No Senator acting for a
State. no Represen tative rejecting the will
of the people who elected him. could ever
aftor 60 up to his seat in the Capitol, without
looking. before he entered il, upon this rep.
resentation of Liberty. standing high over
all, to be seen by all, and looking down
upon all. And no one within those walls
could ever utter aught against Freedom,
save under the constant protest of this pre-
siding Goddess. Yet singular was it that
tho day this figure was placed upon the Cap
itol, was the anniversary OF the death of Old
John Brown. But how changed Slavery
ruled in Washington on the day be hung
on the scaffod. When the Statue of Lib.
erty rose to its place, Freedom had taken
up her home in the District and in Con.
gress. The tainted breath of Slavery had
given place to pure atmosphere. and stiI
the soul of John Brown sis marching on"
One of the most noticeable things in the
present Congress is tho manifestation of
spirit of unsclfsh devotion to the good of
the country. In this respect, it seems to
approach nearer to the legislative assemblies
of our early history, than any of tho Con-
crosses OF late years. There is a stern pur-
pooc w iSo'eet P'o"pt'y uba y, any
mere factious hindrance to legislation. This
was clearly indicated at the election for
Speaker; though, happily, it was not called
into exercise on that occason. Its known
existence, however, probably contributed,
essentially, If not wholly, to the avoidance of
difficulty at that time. The spirit of the
Fathers lives in their sons of to-day and,
though there be no noisy demonstration, it
is clear that the majority of our legislators
have determined, with purpose not to be
overcome. that such legislation shall bo ha d
as will hereafter settle the question, not on.

THE TwRNrY-NINTH KRGIMENT..
IL Reports z57 str0nE---COmpauIes from
OberIin and Dover 90 be Added TO IT,
Talk Of Engaging Leland's Band---Or-
ders for To-day.


Yesterday, according to the orders Of Ad-
iutant General Coven, was, as everybody
knows, the day appointed for the reporting of
the National Guard. II was a busy day,
doubtless, all over the State. Certes, in
Cleveland it formed the theme Of conversa-
ton and speculation everywhere. In spite
of the storm, bIue-costs were thick upon the
streets, and sWarmea in great numbers
around company headquarters. Almost every
business sTm in town felt the effects of the
order very aensibly in the loss Of one or more
of its valued members while some were al
most entirely crippled, losing sU or ne1rly
all Of their members and employees. We
are glad to observe that only very small
proportion of the regiment felt inclined to
procure substitutes, sad many of our leading
business men, whose absence at this time
will seriously affect their business, have
periodically expressed their determination to
share the fortunes of the regiment rather
than procure substitutes. "Honorary mem
bors" who "signed the rolls to help the COM
pany along" or to "oblige the Captain"
were generally quite prompt in answering
the call, but, in cases where theirmemories
proved trsacherous, they were promptly re-
frssbed by a file Of soldiers, who summoned
them peremptorily to their company head
quarters.
According to orders, the companies Of the
2sth reported at ten o'clock yesterday morn
ing, at their various company headquarters,
with full ranks. They met again in the af-
ternoOu, and were then ordered to report
again at eight O'Clock this morning, at which
time they will probably be mustered in.
The destination of the regiment is not yet
definitely known, nor will it be until the
regiment is mustered in. The talk now is
that IT will be sent to Fortress Monroe, and
most of the regiment seem to be pleased with
the idea of going to that point.
The eight companies of the regiment re-
ported yesterday seven hundred and fifty
seven strong. We are informed that the
0berlin and Dover companies will be added
to the regiment. These viii swell its ranks
very nearly to the maximum number.
It is now proposed to engage Jack. Ls-
lands band to accompany the regiment.
We certainly hope that this will be done,
It would be fitting that the best band
of Northern Ohio should accompany
its best regiment to the field, and the
pressncs Of Jack Lelaud's trained musicians
would add greatly to the pleasure and pro-
hciency of the members of the regiment.
The 29th will not leave before Wednesday,
possibly not before the close of the week
Whenever and wherever it goes, the people
of Cleveland will watch its movements, and
note its fortunes with proud and anxious
