ISOLETTE, THE FEMALE SPY.
A STORY OF CHARLESTON AND THE WAL
By J. Witherspoon Erwin.


In the issue of the Yorkville Enquirer for the
4th OF June. will be commenced the publication
of the above thrilling and interesting novelette,,
written expressly for its columns. BY one Of the
most popular authors OF this State The princi>
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 which occurred in that locality during
the late war.
Ore of the most painful circumstances connect
ed with the heroic drfeEce of Char'e ton, during
its three years OF siege, is to be fluid in the fact
that during all this time, there were Iersous in
the city. sin high life" who were engaged as
spies ia sending information to the besiegers.
Drawings Of the tOrtiacatious were furnished,
weak points noted. and the movement Of troops
indicated as soon as begun, and the heef notified
OF the time Of arrival and departure of blockade
running vessels. so cautious y did these ennis
s2ries Of the enemy conduct tseir wcrk, that for
long time the skill OF the most lament detec-
tives was baffled in their endeavorS to break up
the Illicit correspondence. Titest spies were the
source Of extreme annoyance to the Command
ers in Charleston, and the information they were
eua led TO furnish, often thwar ed their best MAJ
tured designs upon the enemy. AS a proof OF
tn completeness of this conspiracy, it may be
remarked, that the daily paper> OF the city were
frequently read on board the blockade feet, the
SANE day Of their pubcatou.
he author Of 1Soette or the Female Spy"
has taken the principal characters and incidents
in this affair, ard under assumed names, has pre-.
sented them in the form OF thrilling. and we'll
written romance, historic and imaginative. The
crcumsta ncps OF the story are derailed a. begin
ming Oh James Island and in connection with
some of the South Carolina Regiments stationed
there. After many thrilling adventuas in
which the female spy" figures largely, the he
roes of the plot follow their regiment to Vir-
nia. before the walls of Petersbur. The sur
render Of General Lees Army n 1865, finds
them again among the Santee hills, where the
narrative closes.

MY Acre.

I,had al acre fenced around
A little modest piece of ground
NY father gave me, and l ...aoe
Shift, day by day, with plough and spade
Wosking while others danced and played
To cultivate my acre.
,1sowed my seed-a.little store;
So little but had no more.
-'This is not borrowed, ''nt-my own,"
i said, land, when the hours were flown,
TIE harvest will be mine alone
The grain reaped on my acre"
Then came the snow, and Winters cold !;
Toe stormy ,wiadS like cannon rolled,
For: four long years and in that blast,
That iron hail that huctled past,
The stoutest trees fell thick and fast
-.-~~t Around my little acre.
But nothing harmed it. Spring-time came:
On every side, like yellow fame,
sB!azed buttercnps; and early buds
Made pictures in the laughing woods;
BirGs sang, heard the noise oi<acods
Around my smiling acre.
The rich rode by in ch riots fine,
Going-wAR not ?-to drink their wine.
"What HARM" said, Sin being gay,
In laughing the br ght hours away?
III idle thus, perchance, some day,
When have reaped my acre."
A blushins girl and boy passed by;
That picture made me smile and Sigh!
81 have no time to love-" said,
"But some day may find maid !;
Who knowss Perhaps too may wed,
And live here on my acre."
Then come good friends with covert smile,
They leaned upon my fence the while,
And laughed: Your land is worthless
friend;
Long since exhausted! To no end
Above this barren soil you bend,
: = The poor soil OF this acre!"
Ismiled, and hoped on as b fore,
My good friends Sneered, and said no more;
Looking upon me with di>daiu.
But soon my little field OF grain
Laughed in the flashing Summer rain
Falling upon ny.acre.
I reaped-and now my grain is bread;
! and my household all are fed!
I have enough, and those who eat
Ny bread declare it Eight and sweet
Ny modest bread made of the wheat
Cut trem my little acre.
IT'S not ambrosia. Few indeed
Know where to knd that costly seed.
Shakespeare and Dante knew-but I?
All, well.a-day! the years fit by,
- cannot 6nd it, and l sigh
ToiliSg upon nay acre.
I sigh-then smile. Why should l pine
Because my grain is not divine
pass. Who but the higher powers
Harness their names to all the hours
They speak-the earth is bright with
s1'7-~ flowers
Il till, with pain, my acre.
. Alas! I am so little Yet
y Above me, too, the rainbow set
In Heaven bends. The winds sing clear,
: Clouds float, birds twitter through the
: air9
For me, no less, the Spring is here
Laughing above my acre.
And evermore the sun and rain
Bring me my little crop OF grain,
Or more or less, as Heaven sends.
, Lowe no saan-have faithful friends:
More lone to whom my whole life tends,
< Queen Of my royal acre!
Come, friend! my door is open wide;
Here is niy hand and heart My pride
Is that earn the bread eat
! That oRly at His holy feet
kaeel, whose 81 lie like sunshine sweet,
= Lights up my little acre.

THE ATTEMPT TO COERCE SENA
TOR HENDERSON.

Senator Henderson was before a
committee of the House of Represen-
tatives on the Goth inst, TO testify in
regard to the alleged efforts of Mis-
souri, Congressman to influence his
vote in favor of conviction of the
President.
The testimony included detailed
history of what transpired between
the Missouri Congressman and the
Senator, the principle features of
which have. already been given to
the public. In addition to this mat
ter, the committee questioned Mr..
Henderson about the alleged promises
of the President to reorganiZc his
Cabipct. After stating that he had
heard of proposed changes IN the
heads of departments forabout year,
and had recently heard something OF
the same purport, and had expressed
the wish and had hoped that such
changes would be made, i'm order 10
secure confidence in the iudicious ac-
ton hereafter Senator Henderson re-
marked:
"Now, gentleman, have answered
these questions, but deny your right
10 go into such investigation, and |
desire your clerk 10 record my protest
against this Examination
The protest was accordingly recOr-
ded by the Clerk, and thereupon a
discussion arose upon the protest be-
tween the members of the committee,
n majority of whom decided that the
objection was well taken. The clerk
was then directed to expunge that
part of the record relative to the Cab
met changes,

THE Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald makes the fol-
lowing sweeping charges against tho
Radical Congress-. The Herald man
must certainly know what he is talk
ing about:
The furious assaults upon Trumbull,
Fessenden, Grimes, Fowler, Hender--
son and the like, charging them with
corruption and bribery, have provoked
great indignation in all circles, and
will undoubtedly end in mighty re-
action, which must sweep the Jaco-
bins out of power.
Since the foundation Of the Gov
ernmef1t there never was a Congress
so destitute of honesty and so shame
less in its corruption as the present
one. No bill Is offered containing
any pecuniary interest that is not
pounced upon by vultures and made
to pay toll to members and newspa-
pers in the Radical "rfng." The
Common Council of New York has
become q respectable body by com
parison with Radical leaders on ac-
count of their suspicious character.
These Radicals speak openly of the
prices at which they are valued and
of the fortunes made by individuals.
The whole thing is monstrous and re-
voting to the last degree, and Is a
part of the decentralization produced
by the war.

Governor of Tennessee.

The WaTenton, Virginia, Sentinel
gives the scallawags the following
dose. 1t is severe language, but who
can gainsay its justness:
"Among " all the loathsoine crea-
lures which God has created, there Is
none half so debased as the Southern
born Radical of the white race. He
is renegade to his race, his country,
his home and his family--the dupe
and the tool of the Adventures and
carpet -baggers who come South to as
sist i'm the maintenance of Radical
supremacy through the blood of our
men, the virtue of our women, the
safety OF our homes and the prosper
ity of the entire land should be
sacrificed. Can imagination paint
any object more unnatural than q
Southern white man acting as the
tool and accomplice Of these adven-
turers? What language can describe
the utter degradation of that South
ern man, who prostitutes himself as
vile catamite TO an Enprincipled;
mercenary carpet-bagger? The rela-
ton is as foul and unnatural as sod
omy! We blush TO own that, per-
haps, this county holds dozen Of such
unnatural wretchcs.n
