A Young Man Detected In Female
Guise.


About two months ago, q young
girl of pleasing looks and address
came here from New York City. At
first she did duty rs hotel waiter, and
afterwards, through some means or
other, got situation at the Varieties,
where she presided over the cigar
stand. There her good looks and
winning ways obtained her numerous
customers, and she drove q brisk
business. In many cases her fasci.
mated patrons refused to take any
change, and thus "AIiss Addie"-for
that was her name-throve apace in
her own right, and managed to pick
up any amount of pin money. Ad-
dies admirers, from the first, were
numerous; but eventually they began
to beseige her in droves, so that often
the cigar stand would "draw" better
than the stage itself. She was an
accomplished coquette, and thus had
Il smile for each and every one of the
crazy crew at her feet. Her smiles
were by no means confined to the
young, for gray hairs were found
worshiping at her shrine as often as
the fair locks of youth. Among those
who wooed her were old bachelors
and Young America, and men of fam.
lily, and widowers, and brainless fops,
and boys whose chins had not even
made the acquaintance of down.
And the attentions to which she was
treated were by no means confined to
the wordy class. No indeed: sub
stantials in abundance fell to her lot,
Old Mr.. So and So gave her a new
silk dress, and cold bach" So and
So presented her with several dozen
pairs of pocket handkerchieis, and
Fast Mr.. So and So sent her two
pairs of silk CATERS, and few pairs
of Alexander's best, while Master So
and So gave her an order for q new
bonnet. Then, too, scarcely day
passed that she was not taken out to
ride behind pair of fast nags, with
all the usual accessories Of ice cream,
Strawberries and cream, Roman
punch, &c.
Ihus things went on--from the
time of her appearance at the Var
ieties--in this roseate way until few
days ago, when the astounding dis.
covery was made that Miss Addie"
was man! or course the manager
and her crowd of admirers were both
astounded, and inclined to doubt
their senses; but in spite of all it turn
ed out that she was not woman, but
that he was man.
The young man stated that for
fourteen years he had worn the garb
or g woman, in which guise his far
and pleasing looks had materially as
sisted him. In fact, he looks as
much like a woman when in male at
tire as when dressed in bonnet and
gown. In New York he played the
part of q "pretty waiter girl at y
Broadway Varieties, remaining there
till waiter girls were "crushed," when
he came hither.
Since the discovery of his ruse he
has gone upon the stage. and appears
each evening ut the Varieties, in
i'part first

Gen. Woods, in his speech to the
Union State Convention, said:
"To-day we are able to stamp with
falsehood the assertion that the four
years of war for the Union have
proved failure"
Gen. Woods is a Democrat who at
the time the Chicago Convention
enunciated the lie of which Vallan-
digham was the author, that the war
was failure, was in the field, fight
ing the enemies of his country.
General Woods is the Democrat

WASHINGTON'S DYING WORDS.
When George Washington bequeathed
to his heirs the sword he had worn in
the War of Liberty, he charged them,
"Never to take it from the scabbard but
in self-defence, or in defence of their
country and her freedom; but that when
it should thus be drawn, they should
never sheath it nor ever give it up, but
prefer falling with it in their hands to
the REIMBURSEMENT thereof" words,
says an eminent Englishman, the majesty
and simple eloquence of which are not
surpassed in the oratory of Athens and
Rome.
Let every soldier of the Confederacy
engrave those last words of Washington
upon his heart. Let them be inscribed
in letters of gold upon the capitol OF
every Confederate State. Let the pulpit
proclaim them; let the mother learn
them to her children; let them be en-
blazoned on every banner; ring in
every trumpet call, and flash from every
sword

hshed slavery in the United States: We
could laugh at their folly, if gratitude
for the service they have rendered US did
not forbid US to treat our benefactors
with irreverence. Why did they not
abolish it in Daho.ney? Why do they
not command the sea to stand still, and
say to the ocean, Thus far shalt thou
come, and no furthcr2" Our very slaves
will teach them to respect their rights
Let them make good their laws by deeds
instead Of words. We are going to re~
sist them henceforth as one man, and to
defend our hearthstones and our lives as
men do who have no hope but in God
and in their own right arms. The
"moral strength" Of the Confederacy is
this day restored as by miracle. Laus

institutions, the integrity of our SOL
diers. We ask no more for peace, nor
do we expect it, nor will we have it
whilst the foet of Yankee soldier pol
lutes this soil, or hostile Yankee flag is
unfurled on this continent.

STOPPING BR1cANDAsE.-Very sum.
mary measures haze been taken in con-
nection with band of outlaws that, for
some time, have had their headquarters
in the notorious locality of Shifett's hol-
low, in Albemarle county, Virginia,
under the Blue Ridge. They have com:
misted great mshy outragcs and depre-
dations on the people of that neishbor-
hood. They were deserters from the
army, and the proceedings against them
were doubtless under military authority.
Two Of these men we're capthred about
. week since. A few days since they
were taken out of Jail, by order Of Major
Mason, and carried back to Shidetts

The United States AsMy and Navy
Gazette, in the article transferred to our
issue Of Saturday, adults that the anx-
iety for speedy termination Of the war
is great in the North as we'll as in the
South, and that it is upon the breaking
down of "the will, the moral strength"
of the Confcderacy, and not upon simple
force of arms, that the United States
hopes to conquer peace.
Those concessions are made, be it
remembered, in the face of those sue
cesses which have caused such croaking
and despondency among the nervous and
dyspeptr of our own people, after the
defeat of Hood, the capture of Savan-
nah, the triumph, by overwhelming odds,
at Fort Fisher. These temporary advan-
tages have not extinguished in Yankee
minds memories Of Bull Run, the two
battles of Manassas, the defeat Of Nc
Clellan, the defeat of Burnside, the de-
feat of Hooker, the defeat upon defeat
of Grant, who started from the Rapid Ann
for Richmond nearly year ago with
the largest army the United States ever
has raised, or ever will raise, and has not
got here yet. The conquest of such .
nation by force Of arms, even the United
States military leaders see to be impos-
sible, unless the great heart Of the cour-
try gives way, and our own traitor doubts
and fears deliver up the keys Of the cita-
del.
We have never been of those who de.
MED the Yankees the qualities of cour-
age and soldiership. We conceded them
those common capacities Of all .male
animals before the war, but we have
seen nothing in the war which gives us
any new light on the subject. They
have everywhere fought us at odds O
two or three to one, and often been de-
feated even with such odds in their favor
We need not even assume, what we be-
lieve, that the South are . more military
people than the Yankees, or any othel
race Of men. We attribute our success
under the favor Of Divine Providence
to the "moral strength" Of . people
fighting on their own soil, and for Their
own tireaideA, against that "moral weak
i6ess" Of invaders and aggrsssors which
no ordinary prepouderanee Of number'
/ can make strong. With those conditions
| in our favor, the United States may wag,
this warfare till the crack Of doom, ani
The Confedsracy can never he conquered

q we have one word to sAy = u croak''
ers Of the Con6sderacy: II yed want to
give up the contest, meet likt men, in
public assemblies, and say .; but do
not paralyze tho army with .gsse long
faces and deep groans ,.Desaee come
from your. comfortable dws1ln9 we'll
spread boards and lnxuriots 6s and
chant lamentations to those hopsh Il be-
goes who stand in your front, and have
endured in your defence such perils and
privations as have rarely fallen to tn lot
Of humanity since the beginning Of the
world. Do not compel them to stald
fire in the rear more 'pertinacfoSS sUd
harassing than the fire in the front. Do
not forever damp with your dismal breath
the silver shields of knighthood, flashing
SO gloriously in the sunlight aud reflect
ing ever the bold hneaments of hope and
honor. Go home and go to bed, and
dream of subjugation, and die, if you
will but do not be the death of your
country.
The Army Of General Lee, We are told,
was never stronger, physically and mo:
rally, than at this very hour. Its nerves
are Of iron; its spirit is lofty and re-
solved it halls with raptures the eleva-
ton Of its commander to the supreme
control of military movements as the
harbinger Of new and brilliant career
of success and glory. The causes of
dissatisfaction that have hitherto existed
in the internal conduct of affairs are "a.
pidly disappearing. The right man will
be everywhere put in the right place.
Every element of strength in the country
will be developed and judiciously han
died. Other nations have seen darker
days: Rome, Greece, the Netherlands,
our own forefathers Of '76; France,
when Carnot became War Minister
England, when Mr.. Pitt took the helm,
and caused reeling vessel to feel al
once the land OF mighty master, and
ride the opposing pillows IN security and
triumph. 1t is the province Of such
/ spirits " from the nettle, Danger, to PLUCK
the flower, Safety" Providence raises
up the man for the time, and q man fo1
this occasion, we believe, has been raiset
up in Robert E. Leo, the Washington o
the second American Revolution, upol
whom, from the beginning, all thought
full eyes have been fixed as the futur'
Deliverer of his country.
OF one thing we are certain, the mora
strength of Virginia is as steadfast and
| immovable as her own Blue Ridge. Sht
did not seek this quarrel; she avoided il
by every honorable means of concilia-
ton, by counsels of moderation, by Offers
of peace. But having taken her ground
she is going to maintain it. She may b'
overwhelmed by brute force; she ma!
be subjugated, confiscated, exterminated
but she will never be traitor to herself
Her "moral strength" cannot be broken
and in that "moral strength" she vii
vet prevail. She has no dream Q
sheathing the sword Of Washington
whilst tho feot of an invading soldie
pollutes her soil. Believing, hoping
daring, she will fight on to the end
calmly, valiantly, confidingly, trustin>
in Providence to yindicate the Right
and true to herself her country and he
God.
