termiued to put a stop 70 the imposition. They ne

Mr.. Derby, some time aso, gave no
tice that the time had expired in
which applications for the admission
of articles to the Exhibition would be
received; but owing to the vast num-
Der of individuals, representing all

to send articles, it has been found
necessary to extend the time in order
that the applications should all be
properly and justly disposed of.
The Mercury will sail on Thursday
next with her cargo, which will be
consigned to n NJ. Beckwith, United

picked up the passengers and crew Of
the ship William Nelson, which yes
sci, it will be remembered, was buried

No other vessel will be sent by the
General Agent after the departure of
the Mercury. Articles intended for
the Exposition, subsequent to that
time, must be sent by steamer or by
ship, under the direction of the parties
who send them Persons forwarding
articles to the Exposition are directed
to take particular care to send to the
General Agent notices of shipments,
with the shipping receipts, and de-
tailed list of the contents of each box
or package. In all cases where boxes
are used, they should be put together
with screws, so that they may be taken
apart without injury, stored during
the time of the Exhibition. and be |
ready for use after the same is closed.
If from whatever cause any successful |
applicant should be unable to forward |
his articles, he must notify the Gen
eral Agent at once, so that the same !
may be withdrawn from the catalogue
which is now being printed.

A FEMALE CAvALRYMAN.- Mrs.
Francis f. Sigel is now in Washing
ton, applying at the pay department.
for back pay for services in the West
ern armies as cavalryman. She
says she enlisted in 1861, with her
husband "a John Cleyton,) in the
18th Missouri cavalry, ana fought
for two years as cav;lrymtu in our
armies. She fought under Grant,
Sheridan, and Rosecraps. She was
III the battles Of Shiloh or Pittsburc
Landing and Stone River, and at the
latter battle her husband was killed
and she severely wounded. Her sex
thus became known and she was dis
charged the service She has mar
RED since, and is now endcavoring to
get the pay due her when discharged;
but there is no law which would au-
thorlzc her payment, females not be-
ing recognized by any as soldiers.
Mrs. SiSels appearance and man
hers cannot be said to be verv pre-
possessing. She has evidently seen
hard service in camp or elsewhere,
and has contracted all the rude airs.
attitudes and manners of a man. She
wears scotchcap, cooked on one
side of her head, chews tobacco,
smokes, and swears like Il very troop
er, Us she claims to be. She is ac-
companied by her present husband.
Both are very poor, and have been
compelled to sleep in the station
house every night they have been in
Washington. Altogether, Mrs. Sigel,
who bears traces of having once been
IN better condition-once even good
looking-presents q sad illustration
of the effects of woman stepping
out of her natural sphere, to enter
upon career entirely foreign to the
design of her creation. a friend
asks: "Would she not be valuable
subject for the study of the advocate
of what is called 'Woman's Rights?'
