IS0LETTE, THE FEMALE SPY.
4 STORY OF CHARLESTON AND THE WAR.
, Hy J. Witherspoon Erwin.

=. In the issue Of the Yorkville Enquirer for the
4tll OF June. will be commenced the publication
of the above thrilling and interesting nouVeiette,
written expressly tor its columns. by one OF the
most popular authors of this State The prluci>
pal scenes of this story are laid in Charleston
and vicinity, and the story cannot fail to prove
interesting to all who are familiar with the
events winch occurred in that locality during
the late war.
One of the rrost painful circumstances connect
ed with the heroic defence Of Charlie ton. during
its three years OF SIEGE is to be found i'll the fact
that during all this time, there were persons in
the city, sin high lite,n who were engaged as
spies in seDning information to the besiegers.
Drawings of the fOrtiitcations were furaiShed :,
weak points noted. aud the movement Of troops
indicated as soon as begun, and the fleet notified
OF the time Of arrival and departure of blockade
running vessels. SO cautiously did these ennis
saries ofti,e enemy conduct their work, that for
a long time the skill of the most eminent dete:-
tives was baf1ed IN their endeayors to break up
the Illicit correspondence. These spies were the
source OF extreme annoyance to the Command.
ers in Charleston, and the information they were
ena led to furnish, often thwar ed their best mas
tured designs upon the enemy. AS proof or
the completeness of this conspiracy, 1t may be
remarked. that the, daily papers of the city were
frequently read on board the blockade fleet, the
same day of their publication. =,
The author of "Isolette. or the Female Spy"
has taken the principal characters and incidents
in this af.ir aud under assumed names, has pre-.
sentpd them in the form of thrilling, and we'll
written romance, historic and imaginative The
circumstances ofthe story are detailed a. begin
ming o., James Island and in connection with
some of the South Carolina Regiments stationed
there. After many thrilling, adventures in
which tine female spy" figures largely, the he
roes of the plot follow their regiment to Viz
e mia. before the walls of Petersburg. The sur
render of General Lees Army in 1855, finds
them again among the Santee hills, where the
narrative CLOSES. -.

How that Calf Got Through

The proprietor OF a lanyard ~ad-
iaeeHt to s. certain town IN Vir-
gfniaa concluded to build a stand,
or store, on one of the main
streets, for the purpose of vending
his leather, buying raw hides and
tie like. After completing his
buifding, he began to. consider
what kind ola sign 1t would be
Bssttoput up forthe purpose Of
attracting attention to his new es-
tablishnent; and for days and
weeks he was sorely puzzled on
the subject: Several devices were
adopted, and, on further .consid-
Grafton, rejected. At last a hap
py idea, struck him BE bored
an augar hole through the door
post and stuck. a calf's tail into it,
With the bushy end Haunting out
After a while, he" noticed a
grave looking parsonage standing
rear the door, with, spectaeles- Oh,
gazing intently on the sign. And
there he continued to stand ga
zing. and gazing until the -curiosi-
tyIo the tanner was greatly :ex-
cited in turn: He stepped out
and addressed the individual:
'aeood morning" said he. :
