He was cordially received by Smith, who tried to interest him in the businSmith, who tried to interest him in the business of running off negro children from Nashville, to be sold south. Newcomer declined entering upon it; but Smith insisted, and gave him a letter of introduction to his right bower, in Nashville, who proved to be a Dr. Hudson, a man of wealth, who Smith insisted, and gave him a letter of introduction to his right bower, in Nashville, who proved to be a Dr. Hudson, a man of wealth, who professed to be a Union man, but had long been considered suspicious. The Chief of Police, Colonel Truesdail, desired him now to spend some time in Nashville in developing the case of Dr. Hudson, but he deemed it necessary first, to return to Wheele, he returned the next morning, and immediately entered upon the work of following up the Hudson case. Delivering Prior Smith's letter of introduction, he very soon gained the full confidence of Dr. Hudson and his wife, and found them ready to do

lfil the duty which she felt she owed to its gallant defenders. From the first she had wielded her eloquent pen in its behalf, and early in the spring of 1862, she determined to consecrate herself to the work of caring specially for the sick and wounded soldiers. Her first experiences of hospital life were in the Baltimore hospitals, where she contracted the measles, and was sick for some time. Thence she went to Lexington, Ky., when it was in the possession of the rebel General E. Kirby Smith. Her loyalty blazed out even while under the sway of the rebels. Thence she went to St. Louis) where, after some time spent in the hospitals, she proceeded down the river in a hospital steamer to bring up the sick and wounded soldiers from Vicksburg and other points. After two of these trips, in which she went beyond her strength in her zeal for the poor suffering soldiers, she returned to St. Louis, to endeavor to recover her health, sadly impaired by her labors, and would visit the hosp

Doctor Smith, the surgeon-in-chief, wishes to see you for a moment in his quarters, said a messenger coming in at the instant. Very good. Well, Spaddon, I'll hear your story another time-to-night, perhaps. Nurse, give him this as before; he's doing very well. And I left him. When I came to Spaddon that night, I found him with a slight fever; which, upon inquiry, I conjectured to have been produced by mental excitement on the subject of his wife-catching story. He had become very anxious to t
