Diana Smith, the heroine of the North-West.--A friend has kindly furnished us with some interesting particulars in the history of this young heroine: She was born and raised in the County of Jackson, Va. Her father is a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was leading a quiet, peaceful, and useful life, until his country was invaded, when he called his countrymen to arms and raised the first company of guerrillas, which he commanded until last fall, when, by fraud and treachery, he was captured, and ever since has been confined in a loathsome dungeon at Camp Chase, Ohio, without hope of delivery, unless our government should interpose and procure his release. Diana, his only daughter, a beautiful girl, has been tenderly raised and well educated. She is also a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has always been regarded as very pious and exemplary. She is descended from a race of unflinching nerve, and satisfied with nothing less than freedom as u

Before divulging his plan of campaign, General Loring (doubtless by the advice of General Lee, who knew the advantages of organization), on the 8th of September issued general orders No. 10, brigading the army of the Northwest as follows: The First brigade, under Brig.-Gen.

S. R. Anderson, to consist of the First, Seventh and Fourteenth Tennessee, Hampden artillery and Alexander's cavalry; the Third brigade, under Brig.-Gen. D. S.

William Gilham, to consist of the Twenty-first Virginia, Sixth North Carolina, First battalion of Confederate States provisiona
A British Monument to "Stone. Wall" Jackson. We see in the English papers that the distinguished gentlemen who head the movement for expressing in a suitable form the admiration in that country for the memory of "Stone wall" Jackson, have nearly completed their plans. A statue in marble, of heroic size, 7 feet in height, by Foley, is to be presented to the native State of Jackson, Virginia, to be placed in the Capitol at Richmond. The statue will rest on a pedestal of granite designed by the same artist, and on one side it is proposed to inscribe that this is a testimony of England's admiration for a truly noble character on the other side Gen. Lee's order of the day, informing the army of its sad loss. It is estimated that the statue, without the pedestal, will cost £500 more. In all, £1,500. The sum is to be raised by subscriptions. The committee which has this matter in hand consists at present of the following names: Sir James Fergusson, M P, Mr. A Beresford Hope, Sir
