A gallant feat was performed by the
New York Sixty ninth during the battle
at Bulls Run. They charged rebel BAT
terry, took and held it for more than al
hour before the retreat.
Governor Sprague, Of Rhode Island,
had two horses killed under him during
the action. After the first one was killed,
by his head being shot away 10y cannon
ball, his men gathered around him and
insisted upon his going to the rear. This
he positively refused TO DO, and continued
throughout the engagement at the head
of his brigade, ga!lantly leading them on
and encouraging their efforts.
An additional evidence Of the astonish-
ment of the rebels at the retirement Of our
forces is furnished from the fact that Oh
Monday morning gentleman, in citizens
dress, rode down the road from Centcrviile
TO where the camp Of the First Massachu.

with evident amazement why the camp

The President Compliments the Goth.

The gallant New York 6o,h Regiment,
commanded by Col MICHAEL CoRcoRAN,
and composed entirely of Irshmen, fought
like tigers, and with two or three other
regiments, bore the brunt of the battle
until deserted by their brothers in arms.
After their return to Georgetown, they
were complimented for their bravery in
the following manner:
Washington, July %.
President Lincoln and Secretary Seward
visited the fortifcations on the Virginia
side 20 day, and were received by the gal
liant Goth with the greatest enthusiasm.
The President asked if they intended to
re,cnlist. They replied, yes. if the Pres
ident desired it. He announced emphat~
ically that he did, and wrote them letter
complimenting them on their brave and
heroic conduct, and expressing the hope
that the whole regiment would re-enlist.
This was received with cheers and the
determination expressed to 60 in for the
war, and to stand by the government and
flag forever.
Itshould not be forgotten that the Goth
had only enlisted for three months, and
that their term Of service had really expi>
red before engaging in the recent battle.
Their patriotism ia re enllsting shows tie
falsity Of the charge that the Irish people
were not lovers of the Union and true
friends of the Constitution.
The correspondent Of the New York
World, who was an eye witness of the
sight, speaks as follows of the charge Of
the Goth:
"1t was brave sight-that rush of the
Sixty>nnth into the death struggle -
With such cheers as those which won the
battles in the Peninsula, with quick
step at first, and then double quick and
at last run, they dashed forward ard
along the edge CT the extended forest -
Coats and knapsacks were .hrown TO eth
er side, that nothing might impede their
work, but we knew that no guns would
slip from the hands of those determined
fellows, even if dying agonics were need
ed to close them with firlner grasp =
As tue line swept along, Meagher galloped
towards the head, crying Come on
boys you've got your chance at last -
have no. seen him since, but hear that
he fought magnifcently and is wounded" J"

Ma. CAMERox's report Informs us that
the Government has no use at present for

But already we hear the South talking
ofres0rtipg to CONSUMPTION. The Richmond
Enquirer discussing theweak points in the
military system of the South, says:
t.rhe only way to meet the north with
any prospect of success is to raise regu-
lar army by some means resembling the
CONSUMPTION of all other nations in the
world except England md America.
Before the war began, all sane men be-
lieved they (the north) would compromise
the political quarrel with the south. Few
thought it would last six months. The six
months have gone. The United States
have endured defeat after defeat, made sac
ritice after sacrifice, aud have closed IN un.
successful campaign without the slightest
signs approach to reason. Not
lePs than ave hundred thousand men are
enlisted for an indefinite period
We suppose that we must have one hum
dred thousand, or perhaps two hundred
thousand more men than the rebels hare.
Our soldiers are also enlisted for the war.
Some Of the Southern regiments great
many of them from this State, we know
not how many, are enlisted for only year.
Gov. Pfckens tells US that some Of the
South Carolinians enlisted for only twelve
months. at tho end of the year many.
whose time expire will not re-enlistunless
they are forced TO do SO. The Southern
army must therefore, suffer somewhat MS
ours did when the three months volunteers
returned home, unless CONSUMPTION or
some other measure is adopted TO keep up
the number.
