The Late Col. muIiigan.

James A. Mulligan was born In Utica, New
York, In 1920. Giving evidence Of a vigorous
intellect, he was placed in the University Of 81,
Mary's OF the Lake, at Chicago, Amer gradu,
ating he accompanied Mr.. Stevens, the traveller,
to Central America, encountering perils and
adventures admirably suited to his romantic
temperament.
on his return home TO Chicago he began the
study of law with Mr.. Goodrich, completing
his cours in the office Of Mr.. Isaac N. Arnold,
now Representative In Congress. His fondnesS
for the law, however, was greatly affected by
his taste for literature. He became editor OF
the TaJki In 1854, but soon entered upon prac-
tice.
In 1857 he received an appointment to the
Department OF the Interior; but being q sup.
porter Of Mr.. Douglas, he resigned, deeming II
inconsistent to hold office under his adverse.
rles.
When the rebellion broke out he organized
an Irish regiment, but was given only a subor-
din tie positonj and the Government deeming
the supply Of volunteers too great 1t was not
accepted. Mr.. Douglas gave him letter to
Secretary Cameron, who gave him authority 70
raise regiment, which went into service.
His capture at Lexington, Missouri, by 10, ,00C
rebels under Price, is matter Of history. He
had three regiments only In his command, and
he'd the town six days, till he had neither food,
water nor ammunition. He refused parole,
but was exchanged in November, 1851. His
return to Chicago was the occasion for a re-
ceptlon Of the most cordial and affectionate
character.
He was now offered the rank Of a brlgadleI
general, but declined. Resuming the com
mand of his old regiment, he spent the winter
In guard duty at Camp Douglas. In the spring
he was ordered TO West Virginia. His life
there was one Of dangerous enterprise; he was
depended upon as much as If he had been a
major general.
He met his death at the head OF his com.
mand. He received two mortal wounds, and
was found on the field by the rebels, several
hours afterwsfd. ne fingered two days. The
ished in the same action. Mrs. Mulligan, who
had accompanies him to v est Virginia, made
her way into the rebel lines, and obtaining his
body, returned with 1t to Chicago. Thus has
fallen one OF the most promislng and efficient
officers In the service. d.

MsssrS. Editors baltimore dmerican:
Our town has again been visited by the
rebel raiders. On Friday afternoon last, about
two O'Clock, rebel cavalry, over two hundred
In number, entered the town by the Williams
port pike, the forces Of Gen. Averill having
gone In pursuit OF theraiders at Chambersburg.
The rebels burned nine cars with Government
stores at the depot, after helping themselves
to such Of the contents as they wished 10 carry
OF. They broke open the hat stores OF Messrs.
Rouskulp and Updegraf, and the atores of
Messrs. Bowman and Winters, confectioners.
They also released from jail Kimmer, impris-
oned for the murder Of Wright, at Harrisburg
about two weeks since, he going off with them.
The ehivalry have quite q free way OF supplying
themselves, as an incident will illustrate. A
number Of citizens were congregated on .
street corner, when burly freebooter rode mp
and asked which one had the largest hat, and
after suiting himself, rode OF, With q
chuckle Of satisfaction. Other parties received
similar attentions. The rebels left about Z
O'Clock, returning towards Williamsport
Their commander was a Capt. Adreon.
