CASE OF Mrs. PATTERSON ALLEH.-A Rich.
mond correspondent of the Augusta Con >titu-
tionalist writes to that Journal that il: the course
of few days the final trial Of Mrs. Patterson
Allen comes on. In retetencc to this famous
case, whicIi has SO long and so sngularly hung
fire, there are not 4 few wonderful stories ahoat
Thus it is said the Government has no Shadow
of'a case, and heartily repcnts- having eter ar
rested Mrs. A. Then, again, it is reported That
an offer was made to the accused of y passport
to 90 North, which she refused, saying she had
no intention Of quitting her home Also, that
on this refusal, it WAS limited nal pros, stontlv
refused, the ground being taken that the Gov.
ernment had arrested her as traitorcs<, and
had so far sullied her good name. an. that she
demanded full and fair trial. and spn, ned ev.
cry oquivoque that. while sparirg the teuder
feeling Of officials, would only restore her to
liberty with cloud upon her reputation.
How far this gossip may be true, it is hard to
say, but the trial comes on and the Government
has fimsy case at the best.
When the army of Gen Lee filed through tic
streets Of Petersburg, much to the rcI,ef Of the
.beleagucred ard hard pressed city, the mer-
chants opened their stores and supplied all who
desired it with tobacco; and the ladies had large
quantities of delicious ice water prepared, and
with their own fair hands presented it to the
thirsty soldiers. Acts of kindness like this are
gratefully remembered by the recipients.
