Another Female soldier.
--The
Rome (Ga)
Courier says that one day last week a pretty little
Georgia girl, dressed up in neatly-fitting male habiliments, applied to a Lieutenant of
General Gist's command, at
Rome, to be enrolled and mustered into the
Confederate service.
Her request was complied with, and she was about to be sent out to camp, when some one, suspicious of her sex, suggested that little ruffled petticoats and a more feminine occupation than that of the manual of the piece would be more appropriate.
She was accordingly sent before
Gen. Gist, to whom she confessed her sex, said she was from
Gainesville, Ga., and that she had the consent of her parents to disguise herself in male attire and enter the army and revenge the death of her brother, who, poor fellow, was killed in
Virginia.--She was sent to
Atlanta under escort, but has since made her escape.
