TIE IRISH BRIGADE.

A. citizen who remained here during the
occupation Of the. enemy, gave me some
interesting facts concerning Meagher and
his brigade. Meagher had his headquar-
ters in a:srnall wood house near the river,
and gave his men the full run Of the town.
They employed their leisure in breaking
open: shops and storehouses, andrummaging
for whiskey, which they found in sufficient
quantities to keep them constantly drunk.
When the brigade was drawn up on the
morning of the 18th, Meagher, just previ-
Gus to the rally from the town to attack our
position, addressed his men 10 forid high
talutin speech. He told them the hill
( (Marye's) had to be stormed, and that they
were the boys to do it; reminded them Of
the gallant deeds Of the sons Of Erin on all
the celebrated battle fields, from Waterloo
to Williamsburg S1and wound up with a
glorious apostrophe to tho Star -Spaugled
Banner, which with the whiskey they had
drank almost carried the brigade off Of their
legs. They responded with three 5ells,
and, the word being given, rushed TO the
charge. In the course Of half an hourthey
re.entered the town, broken, scattered and
whipped. The, Confederate bullets had
knocked all the whiskey and enthusiasm
ont Of them together, =. 4;
BATTLE FIELD PLUNDERERs. s., ~
4 During yesterday and to-day I have seen
a deal of battle field pluudering. As I
write there are upwards ofa thousand men
picking about the fields in front of Matye's
.hliill, where the dead are lying BY hundreds,
but they are merely the cleaners; the har-i
vest was gathered yesterday evening BY our
picket regiments, who were'the first on the.
ground after the enemy ceased Smelling -
Battle field plundererssm may be divided into
three classes, according to the date Of their
arrival. The irst upon the field run hastily;
iaiang from corpse te corpse, inyetting the
pockets, and keeping an eye to. watches aud
jswelry; the next class are content with
;canteens, boots, great coats and pants the,
Iastare the cleaners, who have to put up
with under clothing. These are still at
work, even while the burial party are per;
forming the last Offices for the. dead. It is
curious to see with what uonchalence they
examine mans undershirt or drawers and,
upon finding it to suit their tastes, proceed
5tostrip him of It,, The artillery being al
Ways 10 The rear Of the infantry, get very
little Of the. valuable plunder. When the
infantry return to camp they sell By auction
such ftheir booty as they have no imnedi:;
ate use for, The .auctioneer stands on q
stump and cries, the bids with almost as
much earnustpess .as ., regular Richmoud
crier does sprained mule at the horse aue-i
ton on Council Chamber Hill. -.
In my previous letter omitted to state
that several intelligent prisoners informed
me that aBurnside's statement that he
spent the whole day Of the battle on this
side of the river is all a lie," They say he.
did not come over at all during the fight.

Loss Of the Enemy.

The Richmond Examiner learns that an
official letter was received yesterday at the
War Department from General Lee, in
which he makes an estimate Of the eleny's
loss. He declares that from the statements
of ."tntelligent" prisoners, the loss Of the
enemy was about nineteen thousand and
that citizens of Fredericksburg stated that
the. Yankee, loss was ten thousand. Gen,
lee then proceeds to give his opinion, after
q careful survey of the battle field, which
is that the loss of the enemy is nearer the
estimate made by his prisoners, viz: mine
teen thousand, than that Of the citizens Of
Fredericksburg.
The Richmond Ratg states that the enc
Asy's loss in the battle must have been ter
rib.y severe. As late as Tuesday four hun.
:dred and fifty dead bodies lay in heaps 10
the smalh6eld where Gobb's and Kershaw's
forces were engaged, and this after two
thirds Of the original number In that single
field had been buried. A gentleman who
has been on most okthe bloody fields Of the
war says he never before witnessed such
shocking spectacle as was here presented.
The Eaqairer says: a"The information
which reaches us continues TO attest the
great severity of the enemy's loss"
The Washington Chronicle, of the 10th,
has been received in Richmond. 1t con-
taios the following dispatch from General
Burnside to Lincoln: ~ s.-' a.T'G
