brave mary owens.

An undaunted and brave woman. indeed
was Mary Owens, Of Pennsylvania. She ac-
COmpanied, says correspondent OF the Phil
adelphth Press, her husband to the army and
fought by his side until he fell mortally
wounded. Then she quit the army and re-
turned home In full uniform to tell her friends
and neighbours Of her strange experience for
a woman, and Of her sufferings and devotion
to her countrys flag. she was In the army
over eighteen months, and during that time
took part In three severe battles. In the first
engagement she was wounded by a ball In the
face, and fell on the field. In her third battle
she was again hit, this time Ia the arm. Her
wounds required her to be taken to the hos
pttAl, where her true sex was discovered and
the circumstances Of her being In the ranks
made known. She had enlisted In the town
Of Danville, MOntour county, Pa, under the
name OF John Evans. 1t appears that her
father was opposed to her marrying her
violence Ii she did not give him up. The
brave girl, n, thing daunted, married Owens
secretly, and then donnad the blue and went
with him to the war. Her husband was with
her In the same company, and so heroically
did Mary endure the hardships OF camp and
the dangers Of the field that no one suspected
her Sex until she was wounded. She saw her
husband fall dead by her side, and then re-
turned home wounded and q widow. She
was young, rather pretty, and slight In form.
This brave woman was OF Welsh parentage,
but a genuine Yankee In pluck and spirit. OF
course, she was for long time heroine in
the neighborhood where she lived. doubt II
any woman Ia America ever had q more ro-
mantle career than brave and plucky Mary
Owens.

Moro Favorable Advices from Gen. Hatch.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Secretary ScEurz
has received TIVE dispatches from Gen. Hatch,
written at Cline's ranch on the 18th and
3Oth. One informs the Secretary for the
first time that among the Indians Who Of
fered to surrender on the 18th inst, but
whose surrender was not received, were
Douglass, the hostiles' chief, and several
other principals in the Meeker massacre.
The last sentence of the other dispatch
seems to indicate that after Gen. Hatch re-
fused to receive the surrender of these In
dams, they were permitted to 60 to the
lower Grande river to hunt for game, and
that they are not likely to be found again
for q month. Secretary Schurz entertalns
considerable doubt as to this being the real
meaning of the dispatch as sent. and has tel
eeraphed for explicit information. Cine's
ranch is ten miles nearer than Los Pinos to
the White River agency and twenty-five
miles nearer Lake City. 1t is inferred that
Gen. Hatch and party DO not consider
themselves in danger, and these dispatches
do not express any apprehension of that
kind.
