fficer of his rank in the First Division." It will be remembered that the Colonel refused to parade his command on the arrival of the Prince of Wales, for which he was afterwards called before a court-martial, which held many sessions. It was a curious fact that the only accuser on the occasion, U. S. Commissioner Morell and the accused, both held offices under President Buchanan. Col. Morell pressed his charges with remarkable persistency, but at a latter session is appeared that General Sanford had given Colonel Corcoran a verbal promise that he should be excused, which was not afterwards fulfilled.--This and other circumstances led the charge of Colonel Morell to end in smoke and vanish into thin air, and the Irish people were naturally highly elated at the result. The bravery of Colonel Corcoran in the action in which he fell needs no comment, and the formidable fort called after his name attests his profound and practical knowledge of the science of war.

The late Commander of the 68th. --We have been furnished with a "Life of Colonel Michael Corcoran, 69th New York Regiment," published shortly after the battle of Manassas Plains, on the 21st of July, "at 37 Park Row, room 24," in the late "commercial metropolis." We insert it to gratify a curiosity natural among our readers rts off with the assertion that he has been "brutally slain," and ends with the expression of a determination to rescue him "if living," or avenge him "if dead."

Colonel Corcoran entered the Irish constabulary at the age of 19, and continued in that service till he attained his 22d year. He was then stationed at Creeslough, in the county of Donegal, in the North of Ireland — a locality celebrated for its Orange fends and bitter hostility to the Roman Catholic faith, of which Colonel Corcoran was a member.--No locality could have been more favorable to impress a young and ardent mind with hostility to British institutions, as the obsolete privileges and customs of days when the word and not the Gospel was made the means of publishing religion were resumed by the Orangement, on the anniversary of the defeat of papal armies in by-gone centuries — a course which naturally created the most intense hatre

These circumstances, and the sacred aspirations of freedom, led the young Colonel to emigrate to this country in 1849--having witnessed previously the wholesale starvation of his countrymen, and the pitiful subjugation of the whole land after the Revolution of 1848. He entered the employment of John Heeney, of Hiberian Hall, in this city, and on his retirement succeeded him as proprietor of the establishment, which he held until March last. He afterwards joined the 69th Regiment as a private in Company I, Captain John Judge. He was afterwards appointed Orderly, and rose successively to the rank of First Lieutenant and Captain.
