A Female Soldier.--Among the strange, heroic, and self-sacrificing acts of women in this struggle for our independence, we have heard of none which exceeds the bravery displayed and hardships endured by the subject of this notice, Mrs. Amy Clarke. Mrs. Clarke volunteered with her husband as a private, fought through the battles of Shiloh, where Mr. Clarke was killed--she performing the rites of burial with her own hands. She then continued with Bragg's army in Kentucky, fighting in the ranks as a common soldier, until she was twice wounded--once in the ankle and then in the breast, when she fell a prisoner into the hands of the Yankees. Her sex was discovered by the Federals, and he was regularly paroled as a prisoner of war, but they did not permit her to return until she had donned female apparel. Mrs. C. was in our city on Sunday last, en route for Bragg's command.

A Female Sailor—A Romantic Story.
A young person in sailor’s attire was brought before Justice Osborne, at the Tombs, last Friday, on a charge of being a female in male attire. The prisoner at once confessed that the suspicions against her were well founded, and stated that her name was Bridget Delacry, that she was about sixteen years of age, and that her parents resided in the county of Clare, Ireland. About three years since, she said she had formed an attachment for a young sailor who had been visiting her father’s house in Ireland, and had promised to marry him, but her parents would not consent. She then purchased a sailor’s garb and shipped on board a vessel bound for this country, in the hope of discovering her affianced lover; but she was not successful. Having acquired a taste for a seafaring life, however, she continued to retain her male attire, and made three more voyages to this city—no one suspecting that the stout, hardy looking sailor was a female. Her sex was not discovered until Thursday evening, when, during a trifling dispute which occurred between her and one of her comrades, her vest was torn open and the secret which she had so well preserved was disclosed. Bridget is now incarcerated in the Tombs; but as no charge of disorderly conduct is brought against her, she will probably be released as soon as she can obtain female attire. She is a strong, hardy looking girl, but appears to feel keenly the unpleasant situation in which she has placed herself.—N. Y. Com.

A Faithful Dog.
The widow of Lieut. Pfeff, of Illinois, was enabled to find her husband's grave at Pittsburg Landing by seeing a dog which had accompanied the Lieutenant to the war. The dog approached her with the most intense manifestations of joy, and immediately indicated to her, as well as he was able, his desire that she should follow him. She did so, and he led the way to a distant part of the field, and stopped before a single grave. She caused it to be opened and there found the body of her dead husband. It appears from the statement of some of the soldiers that at the time Lieut. Pfeff fell the dog was by his side, and there remained, licking his wounds, until he was taken from the field and buried. He then took his station by the grave, and nothing could induce him to abandon it but for a sufficient length of time each day to satisfy his hunger, until, by some means, he was made aware of the presence of his mistress. Thus had he watched for twelve days by the grave of his slain master.
Note. If looking for info on this man the spelling will be ( Pfaff ), although I looked in the Illinois regiment and there were some Lieut. Pfaff’s but I couldn't find any killed at Pittsburg Landing .

Gettysburg Compiler - January 12, 1863.
Singular Fidelity of a Dog on the Battle-Field.
On Monday last, as Hon. John Covode, in company with a number of officers, was passing over the battle-field beyond Fredericksburg, their attention was called to a small dog lying by a corpse. Mr. Covode halted a few minutes to see if life was extinct. Raising the coat from the man's face, he found him dead.
The dog, looking wistfully up, ran to the dead man's face and kissed his silent lips. Such devotion in a small dog was so singular that Mr. Covode examined some papers upon the body, and found it to be that of Sergeant W. H. Brown, Company C, Ninety-first Pennsylvania.
The dog was shivering with the cold, but refused to leave his master's body, and as the coat was thrown over his face again he seemed very uneasy, and tried to get under it to the man's face. He had, it seems, followed the regiment into battle, and stuck to his master, and when he fell remained with him, refusing to leave him or to eat anything.
As the party returned an ambulance was carrying the corpse to a little grove of trees for interment, and the little dog following, the only mourner at that funeral, as the hero's comrades had been called to some other point.
Note. William H. Brown, Sergeant mustered in September 13, 1861, for 3, years. Died of wounds received at Fredericksburg,Va., December 13, 1862.

Miner's Journal - June 14, 1864.
The killed and wounded of our regiments in the Late Battles - the 96th, 48th, 50th and other regiments in which they are gallant souls from Schuylkill County, have undoubtedly suffered in the battles of the week in Virginia, and the anxiety to hear from them, is intense in this community. We were in hopes that we would be able to furnish this week, some intelligence of the casualties, but what we have received so far is meager. We learn from a letter in yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer dated 'Spottsylvania Court House May 11' that in the terrible battle of Tuesday last, May Levi Huber of the 96th Regiment was seriously wounded. His many friends trust that it will not preclude his recovery, for he is a gallant officer and an estimable citizen.
The only names wounded that we have seen published in the daily papers up to yesterday are as follows:
96th Regiment, P.V.
