IS0LETFE, THE FEMALE SPY.
4 STORY OF CHARLESTON AND THE WAR.
By J. Witherspoon Erwin.

In the issue of the Yorkvile 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
ard 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.
One of the most painful circumstances connect
eli with the heroic defence Of Charlie ton. during
its three years Of SIEGE is to be fund in the fact
that during all this time, there were persons in
the city, Sin high life" who were engaged as
spies in sending information to the besiegers
Drawings Of the tOrtijcations were furnished, ,
weak points noted, aud the movement of troops
indicated as soon as begun and the feet notified
of the time ofarrival and departure of blockade
running vessels. SO cautiously did these ennis
saries of the enemy. Conduct their work, that for
a long time the skill of the most eminent detec-
tives was baff1ed in their endeavors 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
eua led to furnish, often thwar ed their best MAJ
tured designs upon the euemy. AS proof OF
the completeness Of this conspiracy. 1t may De
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 s'lsolette. or the Female Spy"
has taken the principal characters and incidents
in this affair, and under assumed names, has pre-.
sented them in the fern OF thrilling and we'll
written romance, historic and Imaginative. The
circumstances of the story are detailed a. begin
ming on James Island and in connection with
some of the South Carolina Regiments stationed
there. After many thrilling. adventures in
which the female spy" figures largely, the he
roes of the plot follow their regiment to Vir-
9 nia before the walls of PETERSBURG. The sur
FENDER of General Lees Army in 1855, finds
them again among the Ssntee hills, where the
narrative closes.

story complete. should send in their subscriptions
