Discovery Of Female Soldiers In the Union
ARMY.

Miss Lizzie Maria Compton was ar.
rested by the Provost Guard of Bards.
town, Kentucky, last week, discovered
to be pretty young lady of some sixteen
summers, and sent to Louisville She
had been encamped with her regiment,
the llth Kentucky cavalry, of which SD g
had been a member for several months
past. Her history, during the past eigh-
teen months, is strange and romantic.
She has served in seven different resi,
ments, and participated in several bat
ties. At fredericksburg she was severe
ly wounded, but recovered, and followed
the fortunes Of war, which cast her from
tho Army OF the Potomac to ,be Army
Of the Cumberland. She fought in the
battle at Green River Bridge on the 4th
of July last, and received wound which
disabled her for short time. She has
been discovered and mustered out of the
service seven or eight times, but imme
diately re.enlisted in another regiment
She states that her home is in London.
Canada West, and that her parents are
now living in that place. This young
girl has served a term Of eighteen months
in the army, and, were it not that she
breads the annoyance Of being detected
and mustered out, she would enter the
service again.
The Richmond Erumiaer has :he fol
lowing account Of the discovery of a f.
male soldier, member of the 18th Maine
r2g'nent, III prison at Richmond:
Yesterday rather prepossessing-
'"ght"- Lass was discovered on Belle Isle,
disguised, among the prisoners of war
there. She gave Der real name as Mary
Jane johnson, belonging to the 10Th
Maine reg iment, aud had been prisoner
some time She gave as an excuse for
adopting her soldier to-gery, that she
was following her lover to shield and pre-
tect him when in danger He had been
killed in battle, and now she would have
no objection to return to the more peace
full sphere for which nature, by her sex.
had better fitted her. The heroine of a
novel yet to be written in Yankeedom
was considerably sunburned and rough
ened by the hardships she had eucoun,
tered, but still retained marks Of some
womanly comeliness, which would b,
heightened by a calico frock and crino
line. Upon the discovery of her sex
Miss johnson was removed from Bell
Isle, and Is now confined at Castle Thun
der. She will probably go North by tn
next flag OF truce. She is about nine
