The LADY MAJoR.-In the long list OF
noble and devoted women, who, in she dark
hour in our National history, have made
themselves immortal by their heroic bravery,
nohe have won more enduring fame than
Miss Major Pauline Cushman, the celebrated
Union scout and spy, whose brilliant but peri
lous exploits in the southwest have made her
name familiar to our readers. Miss Cushman
entered the United States secret service al
the instance Of Gen. j. A. Garfield, and for a
while was quite successful, making repeated
trips within the rebel lines and as reward
for her valor received the appointment Of
Major. Finally, being suspected, she was ar
rested, tried as spy and condemned to be
hung, but owing to severe Illness, which her
trials had brought upon her, the execution
was postponed until, as Gen. Bragg said, they
could hang her decently. The delay saved
here, FOR Gen. Rosecrans learning her where
abouts and the danger surrounding her, sent
raiding party TO her rescue and she was saved
from an ignominous death upon a rebe scat
fold
An invitation having been extended to Miss
Cushman to visit Portland, she has consented
and named next Monday evening, Aug. 10th
when she will relate the history Of her peri
lous adventures, Lancaster Hall having been
secured for that purpose.
