A Female Recruit.—Some stir was caused in camp yesterday by the discovery of a female recruit in the Beloit company. She was unknown to any of the company, and after enlisting did not make her appearance till the company started for Madison.On arriving here her voice and movements led to suspicion, and on being closely questioned, she owned her sex aud was dismissed from camp. She was a German woman, and according to her story a resident of Galena, aud has a husband in the 90th Illinois. Her patriotism outran her discretion. Not even the most patriotic Northern localities have yet sent so many men that it is necessary for the women to turn out.—Madison Journal.
