Hevatla Democrat. more correspondent of the New York EveA LoyaL QuakER Woman.—The Baltining Post, writing March 224, says: Just
before the rebels evacuated the village of
Waterford, ear Leesburg, they openly
avowed they would burn it to the ground,
as it was nothing more than a “cursed
Quuker settlement.” A noble hearted Quaker woman, whose husband had been chased
from his bome by the rebels some months
before, besought a gentleman of her faith
to hasten to Colonel Geary’s camp some
eight miles away, and ask him to send a
force to Waterford to prevent the threatened conflagration, He had a fine horse but
. declined the daty, owing to the danger of
getting through the rebel pickets. “Lend
me thy horse, then,’”’ she said. He declined
again. “Then I will steal thy horse’? she
said, “and go myself.’ She forthwith directed a servant to take the horse to a
neighboring wood, to which the “owner
made no resistance, Another servant took
her side saddle to the horse, when the heroine appeared, and mounting the animal,
rode off in open day right through tbe pickets who did not stop her, strange to say.

A Practica Test.—Lord Derby insists
that our blockade is # sham; but the London Times evidently differs, and advises the
following practical test;
If Lord Derby or any mercantile gentieman of his way of thinking bas a mind to
make his fortune at once, he has only to
buy any amount of cotton at New Orleans
at 5da pound, and running the blockade,
sell it in Liverpool at 12d a pound. But if
that cannot be done, the blockade cannot be
