| w0man,s Adventures In the re.
bel Army.

A Savannah paper gives the following
account of woman who served as
lieutenant in the rebel army during the
war
"Mrs. Loretta ]. DeCaulp, well known
as Lieut., I. Buford, OF the Confederate
States army Is now temporarily In this
city, and residing At the Pulaski House,
but will soon leave for Charleston. Her
object here is to collect subscriptions for
three forthcoming works which she is
preparing, entitled The Cruise of the
Shenandoah, or the last of the Conleder
acy;' The History of the Southern Con-
federacy, including Personal Adventures
of the Authorrss; and 'BuEord's Poems.
&C. At the commencement of the war
she devoted her property and her perso-
nal exertions to the Confederate cause,
and in male disguise raised a company in
Texas, which she commanded at Manas-
sas. She was afterwards connected
with cavalry company at the West.
She was three years in active service,
and was three times wounded and once
taken prisoner. She was also for about
a year in the rebel government service
North, ana III Europe.
The following is from the Atlanta IN
tellgmeer::
Mrs. DBCAULP: 1t was in 1863 we
first met in this city this second Joan Of
Arc. She was then attired in the garb
OF an officer and was introduced to US as
Lieut. Buford, in the Confederate ser
vice, There are many now in this city
who will remember this heroine, and
her marriage with her late husband, Mr.
DeCaulp, a soldier in the same service,
since deceased We had lost sight of
and knowledge of the whereabouts of
this daring and romantic girl, until a
few days ago, when we saw in one Of
our southern exchanges a compliments
ry notice OF her and of her return to the
South. OF this fact we had ocular de-
monstratiOn on yesterday, for while we
were engaged, scissors in hand, clipping
from our exchanges there entered into
our sanctum an elegantly-dressed lady,
still in the bloom of youth, and beauti-
ful to behold, whom we soon recognized
as the veritable Lieutenant Buford, now
a widow, her husband having died
shortly after her alliance with him. Mrs.
Loretta j. DeCaulp, for that is the lady's
name in full, informs us that she sur
rendered herself a prisoner to the autho,
rites in Washington City, and was
treated with great kindness. She has
been a great traveller, having visited
Europe twice, Canada also, and on each
occasion in the Confederate service. She
is now engaged in writing her history
in which will be embraced of course the
dangers through which she has passed
in the tented and on the battle field; on
the high seas, and amid the crowded CT,
ties of Europe; at Nassau, and in run
ming the blockade; and for the publica
ton Of which she solicits subscribers
and contributions"

BILLS OF STATE BANKs.-An item has
been circulating in some of our exchan-
ges to the effect that the Boston banks
will refuse to receive all old State Bank
bills after the first of July next, and
that no country bank will take them tits
own issues excepted) after June 25th.
This item was printed in our columns
yesterday-but we learn that it is erro-
neous. The National Bank of Redemp-
tion at Boston has notified the Bank of
Rutland that its bills will be received
and redeemed after the 1st of July, as
before; and the inference is very natu-
rally drawn that other country banks"
will in like manner be accommodated.
The Bank of Rutland will continue to
receive it's bills and transact business
generally after July 1st, as now and
heretofore.

AN AFFECTING LETTRR.-The New
York Legislature, last session, passed a
law prohibiting the free pass system on
railroads in that State. By provision
of the law all passes were taken up on
and after the 1st of May.
The editor Of a Fort Wayne paper had
his pass taken up on the New York Gen.
trail railroad the other day, and by spec
ial request of the conductor, stopped
over" at Utica. He addressed the fol-
lowing affecting letter to his spouse
"UTIcA, n. T., May Is, '66, ,
Blue Lyon Tavern.
Dear Wye: Sell my t'other clothes for
what they will bring, and remit at once.
Had my linen buster for supper, and my
spare shirt will have to go for lodging.
May be able to make light breakfast
on German silver comb and pair OF
shears that CHANGED to have with me.
Don't know when l shall get home. It
will depend a good deal on the walking.
Don't marry for few months; there is
a bare possibility Of my getting back.

The Origin of the Term Fenian.
STATEMENT BY THE c. 0. I. R.

STATEMENT BY THE G. o. l. Il.
The term "Fenian" not being gener-
ally understood, gentleman of Gin
cinnati sent the following epistle to
Chief Organizer Stephens in regard to
the matter:
CINCINNATI, May Is.
James Stephens, Esq, Nea0 York.
DEAR SIR-I shall feel greatly obliged
if you will inform me in regard to the
origin of the term "Fenian." l have
failed to obtain a satisfactory explana-
tion from intelligent Irishmen here, and
therefore take the liberty of addressing
you, Very truly yours,
H. H. SMITH,
Box 2132.
In reply to the foregoing, Mr. Steph-
ems dictated the following answer to be
returned:
METRoP0LITAN HOTEL, }
New York, May Goth, 1866. :
Il. II. Smith, Esq.
My DEAR SIR am instructed by Mr..
Stephens to acknowledge the receipt Of
your letter dated Cincinnati, 18th inst,
iDquiring as to the origin Of the term Fe-
MAN.
Mr.. Stephens desires me to express his
establishment that you should fail to be
satisfied on that subject by intelligent
Irishmen Of Cincinnati. He is aware
that many erroneous statements have
gone to the public in relation to the ORR
gin Of the term Fenian, and approves
your laudable desire to be informed
thereon.
Every student of Irish history will
recollect that a chieftain existed in Ire
land, just anterior to the Christian era,
named Fian McC0M The parsonage was
the commander Of the Feonin Erin, or
Irish militia, at period when Ireland
was nation, and the people protected
themselves against the entertainments Of
all invaders.
AS the present organization is institu-
ted for the same purpose, after the for
eign robbers shall have been expelled the
name of Fenian was adopted for the
branch Of the Brotherhood in the United
States.
subscribe myself,
Your obedient servant
WIN. G. HALHIN.

(From the BrattlebOro PhwniXD
Our Next Representative.

The time draws near when the Citi,
zens OF the Second Congressional Dis.
trict will be called upon To elect Rep
resentative to Congress to take the place
now so ably filled by Mr.. Morrill,. Our
readers are aware that since our cOnneC-
ted with the Phoenix, we have been in
favor of continuing in Office those who
have done good aud faithful service TO
their constituents and the public. Mr..
Morrill, has been in Congress nearly
twelve years, and how satisfactorily and
how well he has discharged the duties
of his Office the whole country knows,
By his untiring industry patient re-
searches, and answering fidelity TO the
public welfare he has won an honorable
name, great respect and wide spread In
fluence He now stands in the front
rank OF our ablest men in the House OF
Representatives. And the rank he now
holds, and the influence he now eXerts,
he would be able to retain for an indeh
mite period If he were willing still lon
ger to serve his State and the country in
his present capacity. From what We
see in some Of the papers, and from
what we occasionally hear said, We
judge it is taken for granted that Mr..
Morrill, is not to he candidate again
for the House Of Representatives. But
we nave seen no definite statement of
that kind in print, sanctioned by him.
Mr.. Morrill, has never signitied to us
anything Of the kind. We are not au-
thOrized to say that he will not be can
didate again and we are certainly at
liberty to suppose that he will consent
to be if his constituents earnestly de-
sire it. There are several reasons why
it is desirable for the District to COntin
ue him in his present place, and if
agreeable to him to remain. In the first
place he would do his country eminent
service there, perhaps more important
service than he could do in any other sit
uation. In the second place he would
sustain the reputation of Vermont in
the House, and do her more valuable
service than we could expect another
and less experienced man could be
able to do. And thirdly, it would save
US the undesirable labor of selecting and
choosing another man for the place. If
Mr.. Morrill, should positively decline
longer TO be a member of the House,
there would naturally b. good deal OF
strife and wire pulling about his sue
cessOr, which would hr chiefly of a per.
SOnAl or local character. and the Rrpnb-
liCan party of the District would be in
danger of being split up into factions,
which we should he glad to avoid.
While it. he would consent to 20 a. Rep

The CHOLERA. - Notwithstanding
there was abundant warning Of the last
importations of cholera from Liverpool,
the. health officers at New York have
made no adequate preparation for it.
There is no place where the we'll passen-
gers can be landed, and no quarters for
the sick, save the ship Falcon, which
was half filed with convalescents from
the cholera ship Virginia when the
Union arrived. The board Of health
charge this state of things upon the in
humanity Of the Jersey people and the
islanders, who will not allow quarantine
buildings to be erected, or well passen-
gers to land on New Jersey soil, Staten
Island or Long Island. The United
States government does not feel justified
in Selling any property for quarantine
purposes, and so the old slip.shod way
continues.

DRoWNED.-A little son Of Mr., Mitchell
January Of Vergennes, aged about nine
years, was drowned on Tuesday last,
just below the falls in Otter Greek, while
fishing, near the old forge. When found,
about an hour after, the little fellows
fish line was found to be broken, part of
it having been wound around his wrist.
The inference is that he caught large
fish, and in trying to secure it fell into
the water, This is the second son Mr..
January has lost by drowning. So says
the Tsrln0nter.

IMPORTANT DEoIsIoN.-Judge Nelson,
in the United States Court of New York,
has recently decided that the trial of a
civilian by military commission, under
certain circumstances shown in the case
of James Egan, farmer in South Caro-
lima, sentenced for life Imprisonment for
murder, was illegal. The trial took
place on November 90 1864, and SEN
tence was given in the following month
both under martial law. The decision
Of Judge Nelson was in effect that the
establishment Of provisional govern
ment in South Carolina seven months
before Egan's trial restored civil govern
ment to the people Of that State, and
gave them their full constitutional rights
and privileges as a government, subvert-
ing the principle of martial law previ-
ously in operation. The decision that
the trial and sentence were illegal cor
responds with that given in the Indiana
cases,
