ora correspondent at Oakland, Glib
son county. desires us TO do justice to
the Directors Of the Straight Line Rail-
road by correcting . statement made by
us some days ago. that the lands Of the
road in Owen and Morgan counties were
sold by order Of the Directors. He says
the Directors never ordered the sales Of
those lands, and the sale was made by
tie contractors without the sanction oil
the Directors. We know nothing Of the
facts. but we are persuaded that the gen.
tlemen who made the sale would NOT
undertake to pass the title Glands, which
they had not full power to sell. Then
personal liability in an act Of that kind
is . guarantee Of their right to act.

Mr.. Meogher in his speech at the ST.
Potricks day dinner in New York, told the
following:
Paddy Shannon was bugler in the sItb
regiment-the Paugh Ballaghs-and with
that regiment, under the command of Sir
Hugh Cough, served all through the PENN.
suar campaign. n.--Whcn the campaign was
over Paddy had nothing left him but the re-
collections OF it. His only solace was the
| notice taken oil hun IN the canteen. 1t is no
wonder. then, he became u conyivial soul.
From the bottle he soon found his way TO the
halberts.
The regiment was paradcd. the proceeding
fead, and Paddy tied up. The signal was
! given Tor the drummers to begin, when Paddy
Shannon exclaimed
'Listen now, Sir Hugh. Do you mean to
say you are going to fog me just recolect
who it was sounded the charge at Boressa,
when you took the Only French eagle ever
taken. Wasn't Paddy Shannon? Little |
thought that day it would come to this; and
| the regiment so proud of that same eagle on
the cOlors."
Take him down." said Sir Hugh, ard
Paddy escaped unpunished

Paddy found himself placed il similar cir.

I've few words to say, Sir Hugh"
The eagle won't save you this time, SIR"
at is the eagle indeed then | wasn't
going to say anything about that same, though
you are aud ought to be proud Of it, But |
was just going 10 ask if it wasn't Paddy
Shannon who, when the breach at Tarifa was
stormed by 2200O French, and only STth TO
defend it, if it wasn't Paddy Shannon who
struck up Garrytown, to glory. boys, and
you, Sir Hugh, have got the same two tawers
and breach between them upon your coat of
arms in testimony thereof"
Take him down." said the Colonel, aud
Paddy was again unscathed
Paddy, however, had a long list of services
to get through, and good deal of whiskey,
and ere another two months be was again
tlt d up, the sentence read, and an assurance
from Sir Hugh Cough that nothing again
would make him relent. Paddy tried the
eagle-it was no use. He appealed to Sir
Hughs pride and the breach Of Tarifa with
out any avail.
And is it me-" at last he broke cut. "that
You are going to fog :? ask you, Sir Hugh
Cough, before the whole regiment. you know
it we'll if it wasn't Paddy Shannon who
picked up the French Field Marshals staff
at the battle of Nittoria that the Duke Of
wellington sent to the Prince Regent, and
for which he got that letter that will be long
and that made him a Field
Marshal into the bargain The Prince Re-
gent said, You've sent me the STAFF of a

Take him down." said Sir Hugh. and
again Paddy was forgiven.
