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.

But if that cannot be done, the blockade cannot be 80 utterly ineffective.” Cariboo,—A correspondent of the Mari-. posa Gazette, writing from Phillips’ Flat, .
