upon those who had taken part in the

learn that by a decree promulgated
on the last anniversary of the capture
of Koine, King Humbert has granted
a free pardon to all those condemned
for a year or less, while those sen-
tenced to longer terms of imprison-

to three years at hard labor. At the

One of the women who distinguished
herself nobly in the solrliring of the
army was Mrs. Annie Etheridge^of
W isconsin, who waa ia the second bat-
tle of Bull Run, and had public recog-
nition from Gen. Kearney of her serv-
ices. HU death prevented her promo-
tion. She was often under fire. An
officer was once shot down by her
side, and once, when a rebel officer
was captured, Mrs. Etheridge oscorted
him to the rear by the general’s com-
mand. At Hpottsylvania Heights,when
the soldiers were retreating, she
remonstrated with them, and brought
them hack, altogether proving herself
a daring soldier. Hhe received a gov-
ernment appointment after the war.
Mine. Turcliln. another woman of high
birth, fought on the Union side. Hhe
was the di-ughter of a Russian officer,
born in a Russian camp, and was the
wife of Col. Turchln of nn Illinois
regiment. During an illness of her hus-
band she took command of the regi-
ment and proved herself an intrepid
lender.
Neither did these woven go unre-
warded. There was Major Paulina
Cushman, who, unlike Mme Turchln
and Mrs. Etheridge, wore mili-
tary trousers as well as coat.

Miss Cushman was employed by Gen.

the Cumberland army. Major Cmth-
