QrNcr, Sept. 26, 1861.
The Irish Brigade is yet the chief
feature Of our quiet city, it's mem-
bers being seen mostly everywhere, and
under all sorts Of conditions. The war-worn
boys are making the best of their circum-
Etances, which ere lees cheerlesa than would at
first be supposed in view of the fact that they
are without money and short Of clothing.
Citizens all feel that they have been hard at
work for the country, freely exposing them
Etlye5 to dangers andsacrlfices, without as yet
cent Of reward from Government, and this
ftct secures them kin1resa and Iberality in
all quarters.
Gel. Msrstali's men complain even more
than the Irish. They have received nothing
from the Goysrnmsnt but two shirts, their
torfe equipments, with sabres, and TWO CID
fashioned horse piatols-Do rcvol7ezs-no car
b:nes-no unifurns-no money. They have
b;en in camp AID in the service three OF four
n.e1ths, while maly reg iments not in the ser
vice fortnight are handsomely equipped snd
armed. It must be confessed that tlIls is dis
agreeable usage, ard hardly fair. Why should
MT regiments be uniformed and equipped in
tic order in which they are 1sised, instead Of
baying the first last and the last first? Red
t1pe can tell, IL any body.
As tc the discredtable steries shout Col.

n.auincus than is agreeable to hear concern.

regiment fIem Douglas county:
Col Philips, Of the Second Regiment, lrist
Brigade, is hare, trying to induce the lti5h t
