Roods were purchased at Tlckuor q Co's.,
and Parsons l. Co.'S, of this city, but they
have been sent off.
It is proper here to state that Mrs. Beat
tie, when she fret represented herself as
the wife of Major Wolf, said that she was
living with family at Pilot Knob named
Foster, and that she received a message
from General Sterling Price, at Msrias Des
CyRnas, saying that If Wolf was sparedS
the murderer of Major Wilson would be
forthcoming. It should also be stated that
few days before the day fixed for execu-
tiou, Colonel Darr received the following
cowardly anonymous communication
I'D. Sr. LOUIS, November 8.
Ma. DARR-I see by the papers that you
have Issued an order to this effect: that
Msior Wolf is to be shot in retaliation for
Major Wilson, whom you suppose to have
been shot by the OOnfederates, without
any good cause. Now, sir, you have no
evidence that said Wilson was killed by
any Confederate force, as the bodies were
found separated. Admit that he was shot
by them, it was done ina fair Sight, If done
at all. Now, sir, let me warn you that If
Wolf is shot, your life will pay for his, as
certain as there is God in Heaven, and
you will die by my hands, by means best
known to myself-so help me God
ST. LoUIsIAN.
Neither the promise nor the threat were
made good, for inquiry proved that no such
family as that described Mrs. Wolf alias
Beattie, ever lived at Pilot Knob, and the
dates proved that Price and all attached to
him were driven far below Marias Des
Oygnas days before the message was said
to have been sent from that place.
It has since been sseertatned that MRS.

teuSively as rebel agent and spy. She
made her headquarters, at fashionable
rebel milliner,s on Fifth street, and through
her assistance supplied rebel ladies South
with fnery.s The milliner is in ono OF the
female military prisons here, and Is await
ing trial before military commission.
When the officers went to her establish
ment to inquire for Mrs. Besttie, she LED
most flagrantly; but when she discovered
that they were already we'll posted, she
became furious, sWore like a trooper and
abused the officers like fish. h.wite. The

of smuggling and spying, by rebel women
in this city, which has been successfully
conducted for over two years, and already

not interfere. AZ

She came up the river about year ago,
in company with q long haired Southern
doctor, who pretended to have just met
her on the boat, and to have been smitten
with her charms. She then told that she
had married rather romantiCly Captain
in the Southern army, but had separated
from him and was on her way to Paris,
to acquire the French language, and all
the other polite accomplishments of the
gentler sex. She has undOubtly NUNS
Der of accomplices and hackers in this
city, and her case will prove of intense
as much on account of the star
ling character of the operations she had
been engaged, in, asfor the internal plots
involved for the destruction of Govern
ment property, and the treachery and
of sO-called respectable society
in st. Louis.
Mrs. Beattie is very refractory, all
though held in irons at the Gratiot Street
Prison, and defes the military authorities,
hell and the devil to do, in her own Ian
yuage, "their d-ndest!" of which more
