u the holy church. / nodcsd great many Irishmen
ia tie Federal army, end presum.ng they Catholics
it il 4 mystery to me how they reconcile such
d ct with their faith.
The Irish Catholics who volunteered 90 EealOasly IN
the Yankee service well served. Their masters do
right to insult their religion before their faces, and
see no reason Why they should employ the Irish
soldiers themselves wreck the churches Of their
religion.
