Woman's Devitton.
At an entertainment jecently given
in Concord, N. C, one of the scenes
illustrated woman's devotion. De
sciplive of the scene the Charlotte
News relates, the follovirjg incident:
A Winchester girl, after one of the
many battles that took place near
there, hearing that er lover had
heen wounded and left on the field to
die, went alone to find him As
night came on she was veary and sad
to discover no trace of fcim; at length
she heard a voice at hr feet asking
in God's nme for a drink of water.
She stooped and raised t rebel soldier
and reach d a canteen near to give
him the refreshing draught. As she
did so a Yankee surgeon galloped by
to whom she appealed for aid. He
sftid the wound had ceased to bleed,
but remarked, ''When you put him
down it will start afresh and he will
soon bleed to death. I must fly for
the enemy are upon as." Did she
lay him down ? And did he die?
Yo ;i who have known and proved a
Southern won, at 's devotion will not
be surprised at the sequel. All night
amid the dead and dying, with no
witness but God and the angels who
must have hovered near them, she
supported the unknown and uncon
scioua soldier until morning dawned
and brought relief. The soldier was
Randolph Rid?ely, of Marylaud, and
the noble woman Miss Russell, of
Virginia.-
There are now a smaller number of
convicts in the penitentiary than for
several years past. We presume this
is accounted for from the fact that
many of the counties send their con
victs to work on the public roads
under the provisions of the law au
thorizing them to do so. It may be,
however, that crime is on the de
crease. Frankfurt Sausage, arrived today.
