March says :-"For some time past it has
been observed that from this port, and
also from Cork, there has been consid-
cradle, or rather, indeed, large emigra-
ton of strong, active young men, chiefly
Irish, for New York. The extent to which
this draft has been and still is carried,
gives rise to suspicion that these young
men are in reality recruits for the Federal
army. This superstition is further coun-

"A letter from the 49th New York reg
iment adds one to the many romantic in
cidents of similar nature connected with
the presen. war. A few days since cor
poral in the Goth New York regiment, the
camp of which adjoins that of the 10th,
was taken sick and had to be placed in the
regimental hospital, where, in the course
of attendance upon the sick soldier, it was
discovered that a female form had been
under his corporals jacket and
trousers. The woman had been with the
regiment since it first entered the field
