"NoT DEAD YET."--Two rather singular cases
of remarkable escape from a living burial are
related as having occurred to the battle of Fair
Oaks. The body of colonel was found on the
field and brought in. Arrangements were made
for enbamng it. The process includes the use
of galvanism. The shock was given. To the
astonishment of all the colonel rose and walked
forth. The other case was also that of colonel
who was found among the dead on the field. In
Difference to his rank, he was brought to the
hospital and laid among the dead. His friends
prepared to give him decent burial and were
about carrying the body out when the colonel
rolled over and, in tones more like those of
man drunk than dead, called out, "Ben, John,
where is my whisky fask?"

,spupLIsHEp EVERY SATURDAY MORNING,
az g. DUNHAM-
An IrlsI,manss Letter.

Tho following rhymed letter was written by
son of Erin in the 25th Massachusetts, regi-
ont in Gen Burnside's expedition. Though
- noetry is unpretending and rude, there is a
Elm Of humor running throug h the piece which
axes it interesting:
This letter will tell you, dear Kitty,
That was not kilt in the fight
!" Nv mind is uneasy by dreaming
Of YOU and the childers all night.
Isend you but twenty dollars,
dreamed thatyo wanted some things;
can't keep cent in my pocket
Because you know money has wings.
Some do not send home any money,
Because they went down in the strife;
If you have dollar to spare,
Do give it to Micky B-'s wife.
You'll read all our loss in the papers,
The death of the brayest Of men;
tell YOU we fought great battle.
And 'walloped' the rebels again.
We gave them on Roanoke Island
A drubbing they will not forget;
We captured two thousand FIVE hundred,
And have not got done with them yet.
We paid them visit at Newbern-
hearty reception we got;
And two or three times in the scrimmage
Methought was in a tight spot.
We sormed strong battery and took it,
Led on by our Captain O'Neil,
Not liking cold steelin their bodies
The chivalry gave US leg bail.
Their forty-fve cannon they left US
Pell NELL they abandoned their post;
They fired the old town in three places
Determined to give US roast.
They thought to make Newbern like Mos
cow,
Their chieftain another Koutousoff,
Each rebel, so spiteful, SO revengeful,
Was willing TO bite his own nose off,
The negroes are watching our motions
Whenever we're out on parade,
If they had Toussaint to lead them
How soon would they come to our aid
If once they should rally for freedom
The South to their sorrow might find
The blacks in their madness could battle
The North and the rebels combined.
Provided bv nature with mourning,
They'd walk in funral procession.
Well give them grand invitation
To come to the wake of secession.

INCREASED EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND TO
AMER1cA.-In the Cork Examiner we find the
following interesting item from Killarney
correspondent:
Within the limits of the county of Kerry the
rush to America is very much on the increase.
On Wednesday morning the nine o'clock train
from Killarney conveyed away larger number
than remember leaving for long time. The
number of emigrants, aud the scene witnessed
at the station, brought to the recollection Of
many the departures during the memorable
famine years. The class Of persons now leav-
ing this part of the country, seeking for home
n new world, is composed not entirely Of
farm servants, but of farmers, tradesmen, Ia
bores and house servants, who cannot procure
a decent living in the land Of their birth.
have INQUIRED into the cause Of this increased
emigration of farmers, and from all can learn,
have come to the conclusion that it is attrib-
utable to the determination in the midland,
where the small farmers, who were dependent
on their crops, were evicted from their holdings
for non-payment of rent. Asregards the 9TH
er class Of persons-I mean artisans and such
like-the cause of their emigration arises from
the impossibility of being able to obtain en-
ployment at even inadequate wages. 1t is i'm.
possible to expect that the farmer or tradesman
win remain in this country under suca circuA-
staaeee.

In BAD FIx.-The Pittsburgh Gazette Of
the 10Th tells the following incident which oc.
Cured to one of Mulligan's 'bould brigadiers:'
'One of Colonel Mulligans brave Irish boys
visited Wheeling while the regiment was de-
tanned near that place by the late railroad ac-
cident. Passing through the streets he was
accostea by an Irish woman, leading little
boy. He recognized in her an old lover whom
he had 'skedaddled' from in New York, and
who introduced to him the little boy as his own
darling son. He started off at double quick,
but she caught him by his coat tail and detain-
ed him till he pulled out ten n-dollar Treasury
note, when she suffered him to depart. She
tried to look him up afterwards, but he could
not be found and would doubtless rather en-
counter the most savage rebel than his old
flame and her darling son. .....s
