A NEW VERSION OF ARNoLD's TREASON


In his address TO the last graduating
class of the Military Academy at West
Point, Pref. Coppee told anew, and with
interesting details not generally known,
the history of hrnold's attempted surrender
of The fort at West Point, to the British.
10 the Revolutionary war, as follows: On the
22d of February, 1880, Gen. Arnold ire
turned from his interview with Major An.
DIRE at and near the house OF Joshua Hett
Smith, to his quarters at Beverly, and then
made all the preliminary arrangements for
the surrender oI this post, but without, as
lar as known, taking any one into his con-
tideuce. On the 24th the British were TO
come up the river aud take West Point.
This was we'll timed, as Washington was
not expected TO return from Hartford uutil
the 26th. Must unexpectedly, however, he
changed his plans, and returned through
Duchess County to Fishkill on The 24th.
He stayed that night with the French En-
bsssador, who was there, and in happy ig.
norance OF the snaky treason whose final
Gull was being wound, he took saddle be-
lore the dawn of the 34th, in order to reach
General arnold's headquarters in time TO
breakfast with the General and Mrs. Ar.
mold, and then to. inspect the works at West
Point. Someisodiers had gune before with
Wsshington's baggage. to announce his pur.
pnse to Arnold but as he approached Ar
nold's house, he turned of toward thelriser.
Lafayette, who was riding with him, ex-
claimed: h" General, ihat.is the wrong wayE
you know Mrs. Arnold is waiting Tor U.s."
Washington replied 10 pleasant way, "All
the young men are in love with Mrs. Ar
mold" and he added" Go and take your
breakfast, aud tell Mrs. Arnuld not TO wait
for me that will be there By and By"
Sa the staff went TO Arnoid's house aud
took breakfast, the'coun.enance OF the hast,
cold biooded as was,the man. being unable
20 conceal his secret trouble and misgiv-
ings. While at breakfast. Lieutenant Al
len Of Arnold's command, came 10 with a
letter. II was from below. lie tore Il
open expecting to road news Of the enemy's
movements up the river. Horror and a..
tonishmeut The tidings were from Major
Jameson, that Major Andre was in his
hands, q prisoner and q spy. Leapng from
his seat, he announced TO his guests that an
urgent message called lor his presence at
West Point; and he left as a message,
should Gen. Washington arrive before his
return, he would return as soon as possible.
lie then went 10 his wife's room aud seat
for her. In lev words he announced the
necessity of going at once to the British
lines. leaving her 10 swoon on the aoor.

he rushed out, mounted one OF the horses Of
Washington's cayalcade in waiting at the
door, galloped down . steep pathway TO
beverly dock, got in his six cared barge,
and ordered the boatmen to pull with a will
for Teller's Point. promising them an extra
ration in rum and reward in money and
telling them that he was hurrying that he
might transact his business there and &c !.

neared the Vulture man of war, he spread
his white handkerchief as flag Of truce,
and reached the British ship traitor in

could not fail. II was race for life and
he won il. Just after ArnoId's flight.
Washington arrived at Beverly. On being
told that Arnold had gone to West Point,
he took hasty breakfast, and hurried over
10 meet him there. AS the boat approach
ed the landing, Washington was surprised
TO find that there was no salute, and no
guard turned out TO receive him. Indeed
the commanding officer, Colonel Lamb, Of
the artillery, was leisurely strolling down
the path as the barge landed. Confused
when he saw the General in Chief, he
stammered out: i" Had I any idea your
Excellency was coming. would have gi.
ven you proper reception" "Sir," ex-
claimed Washington, is not Gen. Arnold
here?' "No, sir, he has not been here
these two days, and have not heard from
him in that time" Astonished, aud recur-
ring 10 his old suspicious, Washington in-
spected the works, and returned ab1ut noon
to Arnold's house. There Hamilton met
him with the proofs Of the treason, all the
papers taken out Of Andres boots which
had by this time arrived. The messenger
had arrived just four hours after Arnoid's
escape. Looking around him, he turned to
Knox and Lafayette, and said in solemn
almost heart-broken manner: &" Whom can

The Vallejo Recorder publishes the man.
woman story given in this paper about a
week since, and adds the following:
Parties in Vallejo can vouch for the main
facts of the above strange story, tough as
they seem. Ellen Burnham was the daugh-
ter OF DIR. Burnham, of Lawrence, New York.
In 1855, the Doctor moved with his family TO
Chicago, where he established drug store,
and where his daughter, a handsome and &C.
complished young lady. taught music In
1860, Ellen Burnham was married to Mr..
Powell, and the husband and wife lived hap
PLY together for two years, but the state
meut that Mrs. Ellen Powell became a
mother is incorrect. Mr.. and Mrs. Powell
went to Washington in 1862, where from the
dainty whiskers and manly voice, a detective
took her for a rebel spy in female disguise,
and caused her and her husband to be arrest.

commission declared Mrs Ellen Powell more
man than woman. In her dilemma, she tel

lhed her as his daughter, and being Union
ist, procured the release Of his daughter and
her husband. Upon the advice of her father
and q council of physicians. Mr.. and Mrs.
Powell separated. Ellen divested herself of
female attire and sent her wardrobe home to
her mother dressed in mems clothes

when time had assured the natural distress of
a sensitive mind, and habituated him to the
astonishing change, Edgar went back to
Chicago, and became a clerk in his fathers
drug store, where he is well known as an
active and intelligent man. He married an
accomplished young lady, and in due time
became father. This is indeed strange
story, but it is we'll authenticated. There are
other instances of this kind on record. A
young lady in the State of Maine was the
subject Of like freak of nature. She was
obedient to the laws of the female sex, until
she was about sixteen years of age when the
voice, the beard and other indications of
manhood, admonshed her that male attire
