HALE & SONS Nov. 16, NORA 11 McCARTEY. A REMINISCE.NCE OF THE MlSSOl Hl CAMPAIGN. louring the stay of Col. Jones iu Nashville, we had the pleasure of many fireside talks with him upon affairs in the West, which he discusses with ready frankness, interspersed with many anecdotes and illustnitions. These stories have led us to believe that, thus far, Missouri has the better ot other seats of hostility for the real romance of war. Most assuredly the light there has been waged with fiercer earnest than almost anywhere else. The remote geography of the country, the rough unhewn character of the people, the inten sity and ferocity of the passions excited, and the general nature of the complicity reduced to a war fare essentially ^artizan and frontier, give to its progre.ss a wild aspect, peculiarly iusceptible to deeds, and suggestive of thoughts, of romantic interest. None ot these struck us more forcibly than the story of Norah McCartcy. ’ She lived in the interior of Missouri—a little, [ pretty, black-eyed girl with a soul as huge aa a ! mountain, and a form as frail as a fairy’s, and the j courage and pluck of a buccaneer into the bargain. 1 tier father was an old man—a secessionist. She » had but a single brother, just growing from boy- I hood to youthhood, but sickly and lamed. The family had lived in Kansas during the troubles of’57, when Norah was a mere girl of fourteen, or thereabouts. But even then her beauty, wit and devil-may-care spirit were known far and wide; and many were the stories told along the border ot her sayings and doing. Not long after the Federals came into her neigh borhood, and after they had forced her father to take the oath, which he did partly because he wa.s a very old man, unable to take the field, and hoped thereby to save the security of his house hold, and partly because he could not help him self; not long after these two important events in the history of our heroine, a body of men march ed up one evening, whilst she was on a visit to a neighbor’s, and arrested her sickly, weak brother, bearing him off to Leavenworth (^ity, where he was lodged in the military guard-house. It was nearly night before Norah reached home. When she did so, and discovered the outrage which had been perpetrated and the grief of her old father, her rage knew no bounds. Although the mists were tailing, and the night was closing in, dark and dreary, .she ordered her horse to be re saddled, put on a thick surtuut, belted a sash round her waist, and, sticking a pair of ivory handled pistols in her bosom, started off after the soldiers. The post was many miles distant. But that she did not regard. Over hill, through marsh, under cover of the darkness, she gallopped on to the headquarters of the enemy. At last the call of a sentry brought her to a stand, with a hoarse— “Who goes therey” “No matter,” she replied, “I wish to see Ool. Prince, your commanding officer, *nd instantly, too.” Somewhat awed by the presence of a young fe male on horseback at tihat late hour, and perhaps *truck by her imperious tone of command, the Yankee guaid, without hesitation, conducted her into the fortifications, and thence to the quarters of the Colonel commanding, with whom she was left alone. * “Well, madam,” tjuoth the Yankee officer, with bland politeness, “to what have I the honor of this visit?” “Is this Col. Prince?” replied the brave girl, quietly. “It is, and yourself:''’ “No matter. 1 have come here to inquire whether you have a lad by the name of McCsfrtey a prisoner?” “There is such a prisoner?” “May 1 ask, for why?” “Certainly, tor being suspected of treasonable connection with tha enemy.” “ Treasonable, connection with the enemy I W'hy, the boy is sick and lame. He is besides my brother, and I have come to ask his immedi ate release.” The Yankee officer opened his eyes; was sorry he coulJ not comply with the reijuest of so win ning a suppliant; and must really beg her to de sist and leave the fortress. “1 dKnhind his releahe,” cried she, in reply. “That you cannot have,” returned he; “the boy is a rebel and a traitor, and unles.^ you retire Mad am, I shall be forced to arrest you on a similar suspicion.” “SuspieionI I am a rebel and a traitor, too, if you \vi.>;h. Young McCarty is my brother, and I don’t leave this tent until he goes with me. Or-* der his instant release, or” here she drew one of the aforesaid ivory-handles out of her bo.«om and leveled the umzzle of it directly at him, “I will put an ounce ot lead in your brain before you can call a single sentry to your relief.” A picture thatl There stood the heroic girl; eyes flashing fire, cheek glowing with earnest will, lips firmly set with resolution, and hand out-stretched with a loaded pi^?tol ready to send the contents through the now thoroughly frightened, startled, aghast soldier, who cowered, like blank paper before flames, under her burning stare. “(juickl” she repeated, “order his release, or you die.” It wa.s too much. Prince could not stand it. He bade her lower her infernal weapon for God’s sake, and the boy should be forthwith liberated. “Give the order fir.-.t,” she rcjilied unmoved. And the order was -ivoii; the lad was brought out; and drawing his arm in hers, the gallant sis ter marched out of the place, with one hand grasp ing one o.*’ Iii^, and the other hold of her trusty ivoiy-hanule. She mountci her horse, bade him* get up behind, and rode oft, reaching hoftie with out accident before midnisjrht. Now that is a fact stranger than fiction, which shows what sort of metal is in our women of the much abused and traduced nineteenth century. JSushril/e Banner. E. J. HALE & SONS.
