APArRrorIC WOMAN.

There is at present at the United States
Military Hospital on the Heights, where
she has been detailed as nurse by the In
spector General, woman who has done
good service in the cause of the Union
Mrs Thompson, the lady in question, is
an East Tennesseean, whose husband, at
the commencement of the war, fled to the
mountains with other Union refugees, and
eventually made his way into Kentucky,
where he joined the First Tennessee Union
Cavalry. He was commissioned and sent
back to East Tennessee to gather refugee
recruits and pilot them across the noun
tains into Kentucky. Mrs. Thompson,
who had remained at home. acted in con-
cert with her husband, and by their joint
endeavors nine hundred men were added
TO the Union army. He was captured
twice by the rebels, and was condemned
to be hung, but succeeded in making his
escape. When on recruiting service he
fell into the hands of bushwhackers, and
was murdered by them in April last.
Before and since the death of her hus-
band, Mrs. Thompson acted as Union
spy, giving valuable information to the
Union armies, and carrying over five hun
dred dispatches through the rebel lines to
the Union forces. Mrs. Thompson was
living near Greenville, Tenn, when John
Morgan was stopping at the house of Mrs.
Williams. On learning the fact of the
noted horse thief's presence, she wrote and
sent through the rebel lines dispatch to
the Union forces, which led to the death of
Morgan.
She has been arrested by the rebels
nine times, and, after the death of Morgan,
would have been hung but for her re-
capture by the Union forces. She then
removed to Nashville, but concluded to
come North and seek livelihood and pro-
lection for herself and her two children,
among those for whom she had suffered
so much, and for whom her husband gave
his life. She brought with her incontest-
ible proofs ofthe truth of her story, among
others letter endorsing her, from Cover
nor Andy johnson, himself The Hospital
authorities here speak in high terms of
her.
A number of gentlemen of this city,
who are anxious that she shall receive
material aid for herself and children, pro-
pose giving her a Benefit on Tuesday
evening next at the Academy of Music, the
use of which has been generously given
by the agent Mrs. Thompson will, on
that occasion, give an accout of her own
history and adventures, and describe the
perils and suferings of the Union people
of East Tennessee during the rebel rule.
As she is wopan of intelligence and ex-
perience, her account cannot fail to be
deeply interesting We hope that the
Union loving people of Cleveland, who
have in times past expressed so much
sympathy for the prosecuted and suffering
people of East Tennessee, viii turn out in
force at the Academy of Music on Tues
day evening, and give this patriotic Ten
nessee woman a substantial benefit

Gov. BrOugh and the Cleveland Boys.

The correspondent of the Cincinnati,
Gazette, writing from Columbus, Jan.
oath, gives the following scene:
Sunday evening, while the Governor
was sitting in his Office, he was startled by
the most deafening shouts in the Hail.
This was soon accounted for by the sud-
den appearance of deputation of Uncle
Sans boys, in blue, who most uncermon-
iously announced that they were of the
12ist Ohio, on their way to rejoin Sher-
man, and that as they were citizens of
Cleveland, they wished to be sent around
that way so as to have day at home. AS
the authority was with their officer and
not with the Governor, and as their of
fcers had already taken French leave, they
then demanded furlough for a day.
But, this too, was out of his power, which
the boys heard with perfect complaisance.
But the Governor got his reward for this
interruption. He drew the boys out, and
they conrersed freely of their Generals and
the situation, commenting shrewdly on the
latter, and in a way that might not prove
improbable to President Lincoln.
They complained because they did not
get to 90 with Sherman through Georgia.
'tBut you were permitted to whip Hood, y
said the Governor. ''Yes we did give him
a id good thrashing, but yet wanted to
90 with Sherman" What do you boys
think of Pap Thomas!" inquired bis Ex-
cellency. ''Well, we think" said one who
had not spoken heretofore, 'fhat next to
Uncle Bill he is the d---dest best man on
the face of the earth.
The Governor then told them of the
peace movements on foot, SO much talked
of and written about; that the rebels, fear
ing that they could not preserve the insti-
tuition OF slavery any other way, were now
talking of making terms 'tDamn the
terms" shouted they, with more energy
than regard for language or morals. ave
don't want any peace until we whip them
into submission. We've got SO far in this
matter now that we don't want to be inter
fered with, and we hope old Sherman
won't let Mr.. Lincoln do any such thing.
Just let old Sherman go ahead, and he'll
whip a peace out of them that'll be o.
some account"
'aBut you don't want all the niggert
down South set free, do you !" suggested
the Governor.
eyes we do, again shouted the boys il
chorus; 1--WE would set every nigger free
and if necessary, put those id dirt-eat
ing whites in their places. But, Governor,
coming Persistentiy back to the first pro
position, 1--WE can't have any such peace
and we wish you'd tell Uncle Abe SO fol
us" The Governor promisiog to remem
Der what they had said, the boys started
of, but had proceeded but few steps be
fore they returned, and again besough
the Governor to write to the Presiden
and tell him not to interfere with Sherman
but to give him and them a chance t.
finish whipping the id rebels into
peace.
The Governor again giving them kline
answer, they then went away shouting 70
their hero, apparently having forgotten tn
MISSION on which they came.

AMEAsuRE OE Iusr1cE.

The Ohio House has passed the bill
''To secure from sale, by incorporate and
intoxicated husbands, such personal pro-
perty as may be exempt from execution" !"
The following are the important sections
of the bill:
SECTION l. Be It enacted, ETC., That no
married man who is habitually intemper-
ate or who, at the time is manifestly intoxi-
Gated, shall while so Incorporate or so in
toxicated, sell, dispose of, or in any manner
part with any personal property, which is
now or may hereafter be exempt from
sale upon execution, without having first
obtained the consent of his wife thereto.
SECTION 2. If any married man, while
incorporate or intoxicated, as aforesaid,
shall violate the provisions of the foregoing
section, his wife may in her own name,
commence and prosecute to final judg-
ment and execution, a civil action for the
recovery of such property, or its value in
money!

Blockade Runners and their Flags.

a Fort Fisher letter of Jan. goth states
that the navy have. made magnificent
haul The night of the 18th three block
ade runners were captured off Cape Fear
Inlet, and the night of the 18th another.
The writer says:
Two of the steamers have just come in
and anchored under the guns of the navy
opposite Battery Buchanan. They are
iron steamers of the largest and swiftest
class of blockade runners, very long and
sharp, with low houses forward and aft
scarcely higher than the rail Like all the
rest, they are painted light lead color, or
light blue. They have each two raking
smokepipes painted white and set fore and
aft; low paddle boxes with wheels of small
diameter, but making up in power by the
application of the patent feathering floats,
which, | think, is the invention of an
American mechanic. They are deeply
loaded, and one has the Confederate States
flag floating (not proudly at the main,
with modest flag a6oce ii, having large
number of white stars in blue hatfield,
and longitudinal stripes of white and red.
1t looks well. The other vessel has the
British flag flying from a short raking flag
staff at the tafrail, and the Stars and
Stripes at the main.
They are both probably full of choice
English goods, with neutral powder and
arms for rebel consumption.
