clearly demonstrates from a thirty years’ success
ful practice, that the alarming consequences of

at once simple, certain and effectual, by means of
which every sufferer, no matter what Lis condition

Gen. Sherman was put through a
course of questioning in /Washington
on the 12th instant, touching the burn
ing of Columbia, which appears to have
irritated him very considerably, and to
have elicited facts which are highly
discreditable to him as the commander
of the army which made the rad
through Georg : a and South Carolina.
The iVashfKgfoft 'correspbiident of the
Louisville Courier Journal furnishes the
following synopsis of the facts drawn

.A. Stnijje Story-
An exchange gives a long account of
one Henrietta Robinson, who ahout
twenty y« nrs ago wasacetised ot poßom
ins; a irnin ami woman in Troy. ,Vew
York, and was convict, and and smtencid
t dentil; but the sentence was com
muted to imprisonment for life. She was
styled at the time the ‘Veiled Murder
ess,* as she kept herself closely veiled jn
court and prison, and would neither
show her tuceorgive any account of htr
sell or fa ily.
She has now been eighteen years in
Sing Situ;, and generally enjoys good
health, and spirits, and preserves her
good looks. She was a veiy handsome
woman w hen she went to prison, and
was supposed to belong to some log .
family either in or Ireland.
She has never yet breathed a w r I in
regaid to her family which had r ached
j the p iblic. She is called -Mrs. Robin
son’ by the other convicts, who one and
all entertain lot her the dee pest respect.
Having been uniformly exemplary in
conduct, she has been granted mu' v tri
| lling privileges l ot allowed to ordinary
prisoners.
Her cell is a curiosity in its way. Ii
j is repiesented to be a miniatii e conser
vatory, embracing some rare floral col
, lections. It is also embellished with
I many other evidences of relined tiste
and culture. Hie is now more conimu
' iiicative to the chaplain of the prison
tli.ui any one else mi l t iw.ird him she
oecusiona 11 v throws off a portion of liei
reserve. It is even supuosed she has
i made so ne important communications
to him under the seal of seetesy, and he
statics that before manv mouths have
passed tiiere possibly inuv lie more dis
closures given to the public in regard
to her ease, which will present her in
a dilfcr. tit light than that in which
sbe Inis hereto'ore stood, /'his chaplain
who »»ten led In V'trial, has always ex
pressed a belief in her entire innocence
ot tlic I earl til crime for which she was
convicted.
