Col. Cnrcoran.

We clip the following notice Of this Castle
Pincl:ncy prisoner from the Richmond Dis
patch:
"The Mem York E'sning Past reconm nds
tic nomination Of Col Corcoran for sheriff
oi that city, and anticipates the objection
that the colonel is under lock and key, by the
Characteristic hnaat that there are men enough
WHO will vote fer him to release him from his
confinement and bring him back TO New
York. This is continuance Of inc Con to
Richmond" hurrah, which, since the battle OF
Manassas, has disgustcd all mankind.
Col. Cocoran is not likely soon to act as
sheriff of New York. He has, however, one
qualification wlic!. the Ersning Post has
omitted To mcmtion The absurd creature, as
stupid as he is sullen, who affected such in
tense Irish feeling that he would not cal! out

The intense modification and rage Of tie reg
u!ar officers o! tie Old army, that they arc
compelled to recc",Iizs such creatures as Ger.
