HARPER's FERRY, Va., Saturday, Aug. 23, 1862.
A few days since two females dressed in soldiers' clothing, who claimed to have been with BANKS' army for seven months, were drummed out of one of the companies here and sent to their homes in Maryland. They had succeeded in transforming themselves in manner as well as in attire, having exchanged all those habits which render female character attractive, for the coarseness and vulgarity which are too frequently found in the opposite sex.

A female soldier Boy.
--A young woman, apparently about 17 years of age, strived in military apparel, was arrested in this city Tuesday, and lodged in jail until same satisfactory information in regard to her can be obtained. She says that she is a married woman, that she is from Mississippi, and was with a company stationed near Charleston; and that, having list her dresses, she was unable to procure any other clothing than the she was attired-- Augusta Constitutional at, May 7th.

Another Female soldier.
--The Rome (Ga) Courier says that one day last week a pretty little Georgia girl, dressed up in neatly-fitting male habiliments, applied to a Lieutenant of General Gist's command, at Rome, to be enrolled and mustered into the Confederate service. Her request was complied with, and she was about to be sent out to camp, when some one, suspicious of her sex, suggested that little ruffled petticoats and a more feminine occupation than that of the manual of the piece would be more appropriate. She was accordingly sent before Gen. Gist, to whom she confessed her sex, said she was from Gainesville, Ga., and that she had the consent of her parents to disguise herself in male attire and enter the army and revenge the death of her brother, who, poor fellow, was killed in Virginia.--She was sent to Atlanta under escort, but has since made her escape.

A female sailor.
-- A Romantic Story.--A young person in sailor's attire was brought before Justices 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 Delancey, 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 Thursdayevening, 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.

Another disaster — a sad Romance.
The Knoxville (Tenn.)Register, of the 28th ult., says:
An accident occurred on Wednesday evening, on the E. T. & Ga Railroad, by which several persons were injured--one fatally.--The train which was bringing the 23d Alabama regiment to this city, ran off the track a few miles this side of Cleveland, wrecking the train badly. A girl, in uniform, who was with the soldiers without revealing her sex, but who did not belong to this regiment, was sitting on the platform of one of the cars, and had her legs so badly crushed that stipulation was necessary, and both were taken off, but without swell; and death put an end to her suffering at night. She gave her name as Lilly White, and told a sad story of woman's wrongs. She had misguided herself in male attire, and joined this regiment with the expectation of finding her deceiver, who is in the army, and avenging her shame.

A number of prisoners were captured, and among them a woman dressed in male attire, who states that she has been in the Army of Northern Virginia for three years, serving in a battery.
