dry officers Of Meaghcr's brigade having
!
sent in their resignation on tho account
of the removal of Gen. Mcclellan, Gen.
Mengher declines to accept them, and
in doing SO promulgates patriotic order,
lie says that such designations show a
spirit which has been the great error of
tho Irish people--blind and passionate
adherence to a leader, instead of prin-
ciple. Now, when great battle inn
pends, to resign Il post is equivalent to
desertion in The face ofthe enemy. No
such record Of disgrace should stain the
history of the Irish Brigade. For him
self, the General declares, fit be Gcd's
purpose, he win stand by the brigade as
long as fifty men remain to uphold the
flag.

soldiers by bloody tracks left by bare
footed men. They say they ure badly
treated, Seven hundred men lately threw
down their arms and refused to 90 any
further. The Government had not kept
fuith with them, and they revolted."
