Nashville Union and American., September 12, 1861,

Arrest of a Vivandiere – (Flowery talk about vivandieres in the French army, etc.)

It seems that some of the Louisiana regiments have vivandieres attached to them and their services in Virginia have been spoken of in the highest terms. One of these devoted women named Helen Voskins, of about 20 years, who accompanied her regiment to Virginia, arrived here yesterday. Her hair was plaited, and her jaunty cap, ?Homer pants and close fitting coat rendered her the observed of all observers. Everybody could see that she was a woman and some of our police not being acquainted with such a uniform for the gentler sex, arrested her. She was taken to the station house, the matter explained, and Capt. Klink at once set her at liberty. We are sorry that the lovely vivandiere should have been incommoded, and on the part of our citizens generally beg leave to offer our best apology. – Memphis Avalanche, Sept. 10.
