4 W0Mam Who WoulAn't treak.--About
one o'clock yesterday morning, as watehman
Fabian Hicks was going his rounds, he dis
covered sitting ON the side Of the basin, at
the foot of 9h street a young, neatly crossed,
and toicrably good looking girl Her feet
were hanging over the Wall, and she was
gazing abstractcdly into the water, as if
meditating self destruction. Taking hold
Of her she was gently led away in half un-
she was asked by the watchmaa some ques
tions as to her situation, the only reply to
which being food Of tears, as If she was iu
the greatest agony Of mind. The balance
OF the night she spert in the watch house,
aud when called before the Mayor yesterday
morning several of the police stated that,
although every means had baen adopted to
mako her speak, yet their efforts had been
entirely ffuitless. On searching her person
there was found passport permitting Miss
u. Bayue" to go to Raleigh N. c., which
she had obtained the evening before. 1t was
stated that this mysterious woman arrived
in Richmond some week or ten days ago,
since which time she has been seen in differ
ent parts Of the city. Her representations
at the passport office were that she had o
brother living in Raleigh, whittier she wished
to return, but that as she was entirely with
out money she was unable to do 50. The
clerks employed therein, on learning these
facts, very humanely and ga;lantly raised
parse for her and gave her passport but, as
the sequel has shown, she tailed to leave the
city, ard by her silence her history is eti;.
envaloped in mystery. She renamed during
the session of the Court with her head hung
down, her hat drawn over her face, and oc-
casionally trembling from head to foot as il
suffering the deepest distress. Her apparel
consisted of a neat calico dress, black straw
hat, and had ON her left arm plain gold
bracelet. The Mayor committed her to the
"best quarters" at the city Jail till something
can be found out about her.

Hi, Krce''eney Jos Bro,rn, Governor of Ga:
Sir-I have the honor to acknowledge your iet,er
enclosing resolution of the General Assembly Of
Georgia. recommending that no obstacle be inter
posed to the c0nscrtptOn under recent laws of the
Confederate Congress Of such persons as had been
enrolled under the State laws, and desiring that the
Secretary o! War Of the Confederate states be re
quested to exOneiate from any penalties imposed
by the Confederate law on such persons enrolled
as had failed to comply with the call for enrolment
under the Confederate law within the specified
time
While will not disguise tie feeling that even
or ater satisfaction wOuli have been experienced
from the cordial approval by your General Assem-
bly, Of the wisdom Of the Confederate law, yet it is
gratifying TO have the evidence afforded by the
solution Of he Assembly, of the spirit of harmoni-
Gus cooperation and patriotic zeal that animated
their deliberation; take pleasure in responding
to their request that, reference the tOnscTipt
Bureau. which is charged with the executio Oi
the Confederate law. l arn informed tha, no mea
surcs have been taken which yet have imposed
penalties on those enrolled under the late law and
that opportunity has been and will be afforded to all
such to report themselves volunteer before they
will be subjected to the prescribed penalties.
lshOuid add the additional pleasure have found
In the assurance that your own original objections
TO he Confederate law will be reliHquished in de-
terence to the decision of your Assembly, and MY
hope that spirit of wise cancellation ard fOrbear
ance will always avoid q c0nflict much to be
deprecated between Confederate and State autho.-
tiles. Very respectfully yours
JAS. A. S.DD0N, See'y of War.
