We have taken pains to gather some par
tenlars concerning the romantic history Of
the celebrated heroine whose name heads this
article, aud who Is TO favor our citizens with
an account Of her remarkable adventures
while acting as a Uuion spy, At Lancaster
Hal Tonight,
AZ the breaking ont Of the war, Miss Cush-
man resided in Louisville, Ky, and being OF
Southern birth was regarded as sympathlzine
with the rebels, although he had never given
the idea encouragement by word or act Pos
sessing rare conversational powers, together
with an attractive personal appearance, being
regarded as one Of the most beautiful women
in Louisville, she was the bright particular
star Of the circle il wh.ch she moved and
drew 70 her side the wealth and fashion OF
the place. While Gen. Rosecrsas vas ia
command Of tie department Of the Cumber-
lnd, some Of the secesh friends Of Miss
CusAman proposed to her that on a certain
public occasion she should propose a toast
complimentary to Jef. Davis and the South
ern Confeieraey. This flct she communicat
ed to the Provost Marshal, who, at the in
stance Of the commanding General called on
her. and after convincing himself that she
was t.oronghly loyal, proposed to her to en-
ter the United States secret service, which
prop sal she accepted. It was then arranged
between her and the commanding General
that on The occasion above referred to, She
should propose tho obnoxious toast; which
she did. The next day, aocordi z to the uu-
Outstanding. she was arrested By the Provost
Marshal, tried and sent across the lines rs a
rebel-sympNhizer. These "high handed out
RACES against female Of course set all Sc
eesh In c0mmotion, but the secret was well
kept aud nos more thaa three or four persons
really knew how "aroci1us" an outrage lad
been committed. The circumstances attend

tine sensibties Of the chivalry lAai they le-
ceived her with open arms and conducted her
at once to The headquarters Of Gen. Bfaxlon
Bragg, then in command Of the rebel forces,
the very place Of all others she most wished
to go. Her Interviews With Bragg and other
prominent rebel officers proved highly advan-
tageons 10 the Union cause. as She was able
20 gain much valuable information which
was adystagsousy used at an Important
time
On one occasion when endeavoring TO reach
the Union lines at or near Franklin, Tenn,
she was stopped by rebel picket and turned
back, fact which was communicated 10 the
rebel commander at once, and as The time and
place were suspicious, she was arrested and
put under guard. An examination was had
but no proof could be found that She was a
spy, aud she was remanded TO the custody of
the guard to await further Developments.
Ale result was that upon close search, proof
was not wanting to show that she was yam

circumstances surrounding her brought on a

she would die and save him the trouble OF

and rescued the heroic spy from her pcsious
position. Upon regaining her strength she
went to Cincinnati where She was first induced
to give public account Of heradyentures. SO
great was the favor gith which she was received
that the indomitable Barnum Immediately dis

BACKING down from 4 Fnlsehood.

Ii is but a short tine since the copperhead
Journals rolled as a sweet morsel under their
tongues the following, which they said was
uttered lay Daniel Webster in his famous "sey-
enth Of March" speech:
al the Internal fanatics and aboiiuouists
ever getthe power into their hands. they will
over ride tie Constitution, set the Supreme
Court at defiance, change aud make laws 10
suit themselves, lay yiohnt hands on those
who differ with them in their opinions or dare
question their fallibility; and Gnally, bankrupt
tae country aud deluge with blood
1t did not require long time for some 10y
al admirer OF the "Great Expounder" 10 ex-
amino that speech, and ascertain that it con
tanned no such language, and nothing analo-
gous TO it, or from which, by any power Of
distortion, it could have been manufactured
OF course the lie was denounced, aud the SLAM
der upon the departed statesman was forced
home upon his calumniators, aud tie wicked
falsehood was burned into their brazan fore
heads.
But the infamous perpetrators Of such an
outrage upon Mr.. Webster's memory, are ac-
tualiy too Infamous to cease their calumnies
even when exposed, and the Boston Courier
-aspawn Of the slim,est reptile ia the gulf
Of perdltion-is guilty OF inreniing another
fllsehood with which 10 cover up the oneaex-
posed. That paper says-and the Argus Of
our city does rot blush to copy il:

TON, communicated 10, about two years ago, 10
the New YORK Express, from which il wss
anxious to giveit definite location than 70
maintain his own accuracy, guessed that it
was from the TLh Of March speech, aud with
out further investigation so set it down.
That is the meaHest sublerfuge we have yet
heard OF. Driven to the wall, the lie actually
nailed to It's face, the Courier tries to back
down by saying the statement was made TO
prieate gentlemen, in pTie0te conversation,
aud Immediately taken down by one Of those
present. Who believesi ii? Not the Courier,
for the writer ofthe paragraph we have cop

qualified ftlsehood, but he has been sufficient
~ adroit in this instance to place it beyond
possible contradiction by keeping his author
ity in obseurity, and making the whole thiag
private transaction.
