The Story of a Female Spy.

An allusion in a speech made at SAM
tary Fair meeting in Cincinnati recently to
the work performed by our women in tie
national cause, called up Gen. Roseorans
who narrated very interesting Incident
OF female spy, who came to his head
quarters more than year ago and sta ed
that she felt it her duty to offer her SER
vices to penetrate the lines of tie enemy
and examine its condition, &c, adding
that she hoped the General would GLOW
her permission to go upon that erran;l.
After considerable importantly she was
allowed to go, and by virtue of being an
actress, she succeeded, although, gefHral-
ly speaking, she was not an actress. After
having been absent long time, there be-
gan to be considerabl anxiety for her re-
turn, but, although waiting patiently to see
her and learn her discoveries, she came
not. When the Federal army took pos
session of Shelbyville, Tennessee, they
found this women in prison, condemned
to death as a spy, and waiting her fate
like a patriot aad hero. She had been
rescued just in time to save her from the
doom that awaited her. She was imme-
diately sent to Nashville, where she was
lying sick for number of months. This
(Monday) morning, said Gen. Rosecrans,

l had an interview with her," She had
been washing in Cincinnati for two weeks,
in order thereby to raise means to send
her friends, now residents of New York
He asked the meeting to assist in contrib
uting to this poor woman's necessities 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.
