This lady is described as rather short , of a fair complexion , and healthcomely aspect . Some of her ancestors were
Dutchy , , " Knickerbockers , " perhaps—and she apparently inherits something * of their physique and morale . Her demeanour is perfectly
modest , quiet , and retiring " , and all her conduct _exemplary ; on the battle-field her whole mind is absorbed in an endeavour to
save life . The soldiers of the _brig-ade hold her in the highest respect and esteemand would do anything to shield and to help
her . With this , peculiar and touching example of American heroism we conclude , intending" to return to the subject at

the permanent influence of that noble mind , which ivas so wide and so true—that of a woman whowith scholars , could be
