Female Soldiers.

\ girl in the uniform of the United States

night, on charge Of vagrancy. She called
herself Sophia Thompson, and said she had
served three years in the j9ih o. Y. |. She
was before the Police Court Monday morning
ut which time her case was taken under advise

Davidson, was presented, who enlisted in the
Veteran Army Corps. after showing his dis
charge which stated that the bearer had also
served three years in the 59th 0. VI Dur
ing the examination 1t was discovered that
the would-be soldier was of the female sex,
and that her father had been killed at her side
at Chckamauga The descriptive roll seemed
to have been made for her, and so far as could
be learned there was no reason why she
should not join the Hancock Corps, save the
unfortunate fact that she was a woman. 1t
is somewhat extraordinary that two females
should have passed thus far though the war,
i'll the Same regiment, without detection and
still more singular that both detections should
take place on the same day. These girls
were Is and 20 years ofage. and one of them
was quite good-looking, with large gray eyes,
light hair, worn after the fashion for males,
with figure 100 delicate for man. and a
face too much brazen for woman. Grant
ing their story to be true as. far as sold the

heroines to enlist, and kept them so long in
the army, would doubtless prove quite inter,
