FEMALE SoLDIER.-A smart looking wo-
man, about 30 years of age, q little lame, came
from the west Thursday, went to Bath that
evening, and returned here yesterday. Her
account of herself is rather a romantic one,
but it is vouched for BY documents in her pos
session. - s
Her name is Frances Lawson Clayton, of
st. Paul, Minnesota. She, with her husband,
enlisted, as brothers, at st. Louis, April 1861,
for three months, in the 4th Missouri Heavy
Artillery. They served out their full time
and then enlisted in the 18th Missouri Cavalry
for three years, or during the war. In this
regiment she remained about nineteen months,
and was in sixteen skirmishes and two hard
fought battles-in one of which, the battle of
Shiloh, she was twice wounded. In this bat
tie she killed rebel captain, cutting his head
off with her sabre.
The other battle was that OF Stone River.
Here her husband was killed, and she was
wounded in the knee. Being taken to the
hospital she disclosed her sex, which had never
been suspected. The surgeons thought her
limb mpstbe amputated, but she protested so
strongly against it that other means were
tried, and she saved the limb, with the Attic
ton of stiff knee. She was honorably dis
charged from service by Gen. Rosecrans.
