Excerpt from Life of Pauline Cushman: The Celebrated Union Spy and Scout; Comprising Her Early History, Her Entry Into the Secret Service of the Army of the Cumberland, and Exciting Adventures With the Rebel Chieftains and Others While Within the Enemy's Lines All the oflicials and soldiers of the army of the Southwest are enthusiastically fond of the Scout of the Cumberland their dear Major Cushman-as they delight in calling her. She is emphatically the Daughter of the Regiment, and no knight in the days of chivalry ever believed more firmly in the charms of the lady whose colors he wore, and in whose honor he was ready to Shiver a thousand Iances, than the rank and file of that army, in the courage, the heroism, and devotion to the old flag, of her whose history we now relate. The details are given, as they were gathered, from her memo randa, and from the lips of the subject herself; and while in some minor matters the author has gleaned his information from other sources, the mam facts of the narrative are solemn truths, as received from her, and which Miss Cushman avers she at least can never forget. If the public are as deeply in' teref'ed in its perusal, as has been the author in its prepara tia \e feels that his labors will not have been in vain.
