professors, weary of making dictionaries,
came out to join in it, and we all, at school,
used to take the bat, put spittle on one side
of it, and then throw it up to see who should

man in our armies. She fought under Grant
Sheridan, and Rosecrans. She was in the
battle of Shiloh or Pittsburg Landing and
Stone River, and at TIE latter battle her hus

Her sex thus became known and she was

since, and is now endeavoring to get the pay
due her when discharged; but there is no
law which would authorize her payment,
females not being recognized by any as SOL
diers.
Mrs. Sigel's appearance and manners can
not be said to be very prepossessing. She
has evidently seen hard service in camp as
elsewhere, and has contracted all the rude
airs, attitude, and manners of man. She

The Duke of Cumberland and the Press
Gang.

Abuses having crept into the English navy
during the last century, particularly in the
impress service, the Duke of Cumberland re-
solved to march into the truth of what had
been reported. Accordingly, one morning,
he went with an officer of rank, both dressed
as common sailors, to Mapping, where, en-
tering the public house, they desired the
landlady TO furnish them with a private
room, stating they had heard since they came
on shore, that the press was very hot. The
treacherous hostess took their money with a
low courtsey, and retired but Immediately
sent for press gang, and related the whole
story, observing, withal, that one of the men
was 90 fat he was scarcely worth taking
The gang burst into the room and after a
well-feigned resistance. the duke and his
friend suffered themselves to be dragged on
board the tender where they were roughly
interrogated and reprimanded for daring to
resist bis maiesty's officers. The duke re-
piled, and inyeighed against them in sharp
terms for using men so cruelty; upon which
he and his companion were ordered below
With this order the duke refused to comply ;
on whicn the captain of the tender exas
perated at his frmness, said he should soon
know who he was, and ordered them to De
stripped and flogged. The duke exclaimed
:. strip me if you dare |" This was not to
be endured. The captain struck his royal
highness with cane, which was sign for
his men to strip their victim by force but,
on taking off his blue jacket they perceived
the star. The tables were now turned. The
duke declared himself, and the whole party
+, i on their knees imploring forgiveness
His royal highness ordered the captain to
be secured, while he went below, where a
dreadful scene of savage barbarity presented
itself. Some were bleeding from the repeat
ed lashes they had received, and others were
gasping for life from want of air. The Duke
Immediately returned to town, and laid the
whole case before the Admiralty. His
representations, happily. had good effect.

his regiment marched to put down the re.
belion they carried with Them an eagle Who
in the cloud and dust Of battle hovered over
them, and that is the way in which he got
the name of "Spread Eag'e!' Every
one who heard him at the Flat supposed hon
estly that he had been 20 the war and smeIt

talked about that Eagle. But Norton's
speech was all Inauguration and an imposi-
