cur women in the national cause, called
up Gen. Rosecrans. who narrated very
interesting incident Of female spy, who
came to his headquarters more than a

duty to offer her services to penetrate the
lines Of the enemy and examine its con-
dition, &c., adding that she hoped the
general would allow her permission to 60
upon that Grand. After considerable
importantly she was allowed to 60. and
by virtue of being an actress she succeeded,
although, generally speaking, she was not

long time, there began to be considerable
anxiety for her return, but, although
waiting patiently to see her and learn
her discoveries, she came not Wher the
federal army took possession of Shelby
vile. Tennessee, they found this woman
in prison. condemned to death as spy,
and waiting her fate like patriot and
hero. She had been rescued just in time
to save herlfrom the doom that awaited
her. She was Immediately sent to Nash

beaing her name, and | had an interview
with her." She has been washing in

to raise means to send her to her friends

: He asked the meeting to assist him in
contributing to this poor woman's necessi-
ties that she might pay her board, &C.,
and reach the home of her friends. A
handsome collection was at once raised
and will be given her by the general,

be properly applied, aude to those ministers of
different denominations who, being 10 afHuent cir
cumstances, preach occasionally and from time to
time their ministerial services may be required,
without receiving any compensation therefor. In
analogy to the case of Grdntham, 9 Jones ~, In
which it was decided that under the act of the 18th
Oct. 1862, mechanic was not entitled to exemp-
ton from military service unless he followed a
trade as his regular occupation and employment,
and not when he worked at it only occasionally
and at odd times. 1t may be that such ministers of
religion should not be exempted under the act of
February 1864. Gases of this latter kind we're
probably in the minds of the Bureau of Conscrip-
ton, when they adopted the regulation to which
have referred But it is manifest that this class
of differs essentially from that in which the
petitioner is embraced.
We have in this State an act which requires
that the rites of matrimony shall be. performed by

Of the petitioner derives additional support from
the fact that under the act of Oct. 1862, which
is almost in the precise terms of the last act, no

have heard, ever been enrolled and called into the
military service conscript
