Illinois (Illinois, United States) (search for this): article 2
arrested in Mobile last week for wearing male apparel. The Tribune says: She stated that she had been fighting and travelling under the cognomen of "Charley Green;"that her father and four brothers enlisted in March, 1861, in New Orleans. She joined the Tiger Rifles, Capt. White, and was with that company in the battle of Manassas, where she says she received a wound in her right side. She says, also, that she was in the battles around Richmond and other places, was taken prisoner, paroled in Illinois, and has since been strolling about from company to company, and was never stopped or interrogated before, which is another evidence of the efficient energy displayed by our Provost-Marshal, Major Dennis, who is determined not to allow anybody to pass without "coming to a showing." "Charley Green" was taken in and cared for. Several Louisianian called to see her, and, after questioning her for some time, were fully satisfied that she was not a spy, nor disloyal to the country.

'When did your husband go to Illinois?' 'About three years ago.' 'That was before the war, was it not?' 'Yes.'

Wasn't much acquainted with her husband. --Kansas City is a gay place, and they have queer specimens of humanity down there. The following is from the Journal, about a woman of doubtful loyalty, who was recently before a Yankee Provost Marshal: "She gave as an evidence of her loyalty that her husband had been killed in the 106th Illinois regiment. 'When did your husband go to Illinois?' 'About three years ago.' 'That was before the war, was it not?' 'Yes.'

Dempsey (search for this): article 7
when the Confederate officers, prisoners on board the Maple Leaf, captured that steamer and made their escape to Currituck, in North Carolina. A correspondent of the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal furnishes the following instance of heroism connected with the affair, the hero of which is "a poor old man, bowed down with age and poverty." The writer says: A few days after their escape a squad of Federal cavalry in scouring the country to arrest them, came upon the subject of this notice — Dempsey kight by name — in the highway. A small tin bucket, which the old fisherman was carrying in his hand, attracted their attention. They halted and asked him if he had not been feeding the escaped rebel officers. Too proud to utter a falsehood, he unhesitatingly answered in the affirmative. Whereupon they demanded of him to reveal the place of their concealment, and with threats and blows sought to wrest it from him. But the principle of honor was too strong in the old man's bosom, and to

ch was stronger than his fear of death, the old man replied, that convinced as he was of his approaching and, yet he deemed death preferable to dishonor, and that he was ready to meet his fate. Again, and for the third time, his aged frame quivered in the agonies of death, and when he had ceased to struggle they once more released him. Applying powerful stimulants they succeeded in restoring him, when, with a determination worthy of the elder Brutus, he drew forth a knife and attempted, by cutting his own throat, to free himself of his persecutors. By violence they forced his knife from him, when, by a mighty effort, he dashed the fiends aside and plunged into the boiling surf to drown himself. With boat-hooks they fished him up, and, baffled by his unyielding will, they permitted him to go ashore. This is a true statement of this infamous transaction.--Dempsey Kight still lives and plies his humble calling as a fisherman, and that he is one of God's noblemen none will gainsay.
