We copy the following from the Alexan-
dria Democrat:
During the investigation Of city cases be-
fore Judge Schooner, recently, tall specl-
men of the denli- blOhde, clad in ualmpeaCh-
able black and with countenance beaming
with smiles, appeared in the lobby. This lady
is historical character, having served over
two wears in the Federal army during the
war-ffteen months as private in the Illinois
cavalry, and over three months teamster
in the noted Lead Mine regiment, which was
raised in Washburne's district, from the
counties of Joe Davies and Carroll. She was
at the siege of Corinth, and was on duty
during most of the campaign against Elcks-
burg.
Al Lookout mountain she formed one OF
q party of eighteen selected to make scout
and report the position OF General Bragg
forces. She was an dttIcte of General
Biair's Seventeenth Corps during most OF
the campaign of the Army of Tennessee,
and did good service in the accommodating
operations around the Chattahoochie river.
at which time she was connected with Gen
eral Davis Fourteenth Corps.
The girl, who is now twenty-five years OF
age, but who looks much youngsr, went
through her army life under the ccgnomen
of "Solder Tom," by which name she viii
be recognized by many who served IN the
department of the West.
Her business in the police court was III the
capacity of a witness in the case OF couTte-
san named Julia Roberts, who pleaded
guilty to charge Of disturbing the peace at
Mozart Hall, q few nights ago, and Was nned
