 BOSTON, Nov. 16.-Adjutant General Dal- ton received letter from Westfeld this morning making inquiry as to the status of a certain Tom Smith, formerly of the Twenty seventh Massachusetts An examination of the records shows that the company roll bore no such name. The letter says a woman un- der the name of Mrs. Kate w. Howe, wife of through the State discoursing eloquently upon the eprodigal son" and getting up G.
 A. R. entertainments under the auspices of the G. A. R. posts, the net proceeds of which
 find their way into Kates pockets. She
 claims to have been in the Union army in
 the late war under the name of Tom Smith
 in Company K, Twenty-seyenth Massaehu-
 sstts volunteers; that she was wounded sev-
 eral times; promoted to bs lieu
 tenant and finally discharged and
 that her maiden name, Kate
 Scott, is written on the back of her discharge
 papers and also that she is the person who
 begged President Lincoln to allow her to
 carry-and she did carry-a pardon or re- prieve from him to the soldier who was sen fenced to be shot while sleeping on his post; that she arrived at the critical moment when the guns were being raised to execute the sentence and was only able to say ''Lincoln -pardon' when she fell from her horse in a swoon, etc., etc. She makes many other claims of heroic conduct, of her education, refinement and the nobility of her character. She is believed to be the woman who was published as a fraud by the National Tribune in the issues of the 10th and 18th ut. and by the press in California, Texas and to some extent in California.
