A lady,

of romantic turn, who was arrested the other day in Lynchburg, the Republican of that place says, was sent down to Richmond day before yesterday as a suspicious character. She had on a man's apparel, and represented that she was on her way to fight the battles of the South, and had chosen this disguise as appropriate to the battle-field; that she had been twice married; and that her real name was Keith, though she had registered her name at a hotel as ‘"Lieut. Buford."’ Her dashing manners, fine appearance, gay uniform, and perfect physique, had caused her to be ‘"the observed of all observers"’ even before her arrest. She must now be in Richmond, though we, claiming to be an industrious quidnunc, have not heard of her arrival here.
