were Catholics, and young Father Ire
land was the most popular man of the
corps. He preached to the boys before
and after the battle, and 7 have heard
1t said that the men would drop their
cards and leave their games at any
time to hear one of his sermons. He
was not, however, contented with
preaching. At times he went into bat
tie and fought with the men. This was
the case at Corinth. The late John
Atkins, editor Of the Rocky Mountain
News, who was in the fight, once told
the story: ut was in the midst Of that
battle. The famous Texas brigade had
made their desperate charge. The Con-
federates had succeeded in penetrating
the Union lines. They had captured
some Of the batteries and were pouring
into the streets of Corinth. The gap
in the lines was widening. More SOL
dlers were rushing through. 1t looked
as though the Confederates would soon
attack Rosecrans' army In the rear,
when the Fifth Minnesota regiment
was ordered to the rescue to close the
gap. They attempted to do so. They
threw themselves like a whirlwind upon
the enemy. With shot and bayonet
they rushed upon the advancing mass,
pressing 1t back inch by inch until at
last they retook the batteries which
had been lost and almost succeeded in
re-establishing the line at the point
where it had been broken. Just at this
