THE BOYS OF OLD ERIN. iy at Home in = Fight or a Frolic — Thrilling Experiences and Amusing Incidents. (Copyrighted, 1886.} The Irish Brigade ot the Army of the Potomac grew out of the Sixty-ninth Regiment, which had been organized and maintained aa an Irish Tegiment. It did gallant service at the first battle of Bull Run, and the experiment of ap- pealing to national feeling and maintaining an orginazation which should attract Irishmen to its ranks, was wisely resolved upon. It was a spasm of good sense in the midst of the political methods that too often misdirected and misapplied the resources which patriotism lavishly poured out. In the work of reeruiting the brigade two men were especially — useful,—Archbishop Hughes and General Thomas Francis Meagher. ‘The first was the highest type that we have seen fn America of the clerical statesman, the embodiment of the intellectual subtlety, the profound knowledge of mankind, and the wise adaptation of means to ends which have perfected in the Catholic church the ablest or- kanization that the world has seen. He was thoroughly and widely patriotic, and his elo- quence, bis wise counsels, and his personal in- fluence were all given freely to the cause of national organization. GENERAL MEAGHER was at that time the most popular and repre- sentative Irishman In America, The traditions of his eloquent words in the cause of Young Ireland, of his sufferings In the ill-fated rising of 48, of the commutation of his sentence, to- gether with Mitchell end Smith O’Brien, to penal servitude, and of his romantic escape ‘were rife at every Irish fireside. His eloquence was simply a marvel, and a marvel that did not diminish by repetition. Without the slight- est warning or opportunity for preparation, he would pour out apparently an inexhaustible flood of glowing deseription, of fervid appeal, of rich and poetic metaphor, lighted up by that peculiarly pungent wit aud slyly mischievous Ramior found in. perfection in the Celtle race. And the extraordinary part of it was that he ever revised or corrected. His longest sen- vences would be as deftly rounded, and his most luxuriant imagery as technically accurate, as if he had sat down to write an essay. The orig- inal brigade consisted of the Sixty-third, Sixty- ninth, and Eighty-elghth Regimentsof the New York Volunteers, The Sixty-ninth and Elghty- eighth probably took their numbers from the corresponding regiments in the British army the Faugh-a-Ballahs and the famous Connaught Rangers. During the Peninsula campaign the Twenty-cighth Massachusetts (Irish), com- manded by Colonel Byrne, a ifeutenant in the | Firth United States Cavalry, and the One Hun- dred and Sixteenth Pennsylvania were added. THE 5 YS START WELI. My first recoliection of the brigade was at the crossing of alittle stream about knee deep Ueutenant at that time in the regular service. His appearance without a saddie and with @ watering-bridle among these fox-hunting Irish- men was calculated to raise a doubt as to his sanity; but those of us who knew him were ware that when he curled those long legs of his around a horse, the latter might as well try to cast his skin. The course was marked by guidons to be kept on the right hand, and was About three-quarters of a milein circumference, At the word a fair start was effected. The gray mare bolted at the word, and Morris being un- able to control her with a watering-bridie, she ran Into the woods. Frank Reynolds, with @ Jockey’s eye for a turn, hugged the second fl ‘so closely that he got into swampy ground an the chestnut sank almost to his shoulders. He made one or two desperate efforts, but was in too far, and ended by rolling on Reynolds, whose accurate get-yp was sadly rehed. The filly knocked over the hurdle: i the ditenes in her stride, and galloped in toi an easy winner of the first heat. Morris, though distanced, got permission to start for the fun of the thing. Profiting by his mis- hap, he had exchanged the watering-bridle for a curb, but still clung to his blanket. The heat resulted in a beautiful finish between him and } Cavanagh. It wasa gallant sight to see this boy, who ‘had never ridden a race in his life, | leading the veteran steeple-chaser a length over all the obstacles to the last diteh. Just as the gray mare gathered, some Irishmien seated on the ground jumped up to cheer. The mare, frightened, baiked, and Morris having no stir: | rups, was thrown Up on her neck. He recovered himself neatly, and made the mare take a | standing jump, 'but {t was too late. The Bull | Run mare close up came with arush and won | almost on the post. Just as the race was fin- | ished, from the beit of woods bordering both banks of the Chickahominy came the faint rattle of musketry, presently punctuated by the deep explosion ‘of artillery, until itswelled into the deep roar of # hard fight. STIRRING SCENES. An aide-de-camp rode up and ordered us all atonce toour commands. That was the battle of Seven Pines, and while on one bank of the river we were riding races, on the other Casey’ men were vainly trying to stem the flerce rust. of Jobnston’s battalions. All that night Sum- ners corps worked like beavers in the mud and Water to make a corduroy bridge to repiace the one which the rise in the river had swept away and by daylight the greater part of the Firs! Divison were across the river. We were hurried to the front, and about eleven o'clock found ourselves on’ the tleld of Fair Oaks. the | tune the battery got up, the hottest kind of a | fight was going on. I aiterwards heard the in- ain, | cessant roil of musketry at the Wilderness and | 4 at Spottsylvania, but nothstanding this was in, first. serious batile, I still believe that while it | lasted the firing at Fair Oaks was unsurpassed | in the campaigns of Virginia. ‘The battery was hot actively engaged until the close of Ul fight,—and then one section was sent forward to shell the retreating enemy, but was held. in | readiness about half a mile in Tear of the actual | Scene of conflict, which was hidden from view | by a thick but narrow belt of woods. | We could follow the tluctuating fortunes of | the day by the way the fire advanced and re- | tired, accompanied by the solid cheers of our of sfield-marshal, He wasan excellent tac- tician,—much better than Meagher, whose chief value’ was in his fame and eloquence,—and could ina moment assume command, wield it with a clear eye and sufe grasp. Pat Kelly was the mast quiet, gentle, Kindly soul In exi< once, loved for his sweet and genial traits. A: @ this modest nature was fired by the most croc courage and inspired by a single-hearted patriotism and devotion to duty that modestly recalled that noblest Roman, General George H. Thomas, Lieutenant-Colonol Jim Kelly, of the Sixty- third, belonged to the combative type of Irish- man of which Cavanagh was so good an ex- ample; one of the men with so many and such sharply-defined angles that it 1s not easy to avoid running into some one of them. Rather narrow and obstinate at times, but frank and warm-hearted, with a courage conspicuous among this eminently brave race. At Antietam he was shot through both cheeks, making a ghastly wound; but still, with his speech so chocked that he could not articulate, he tried to command, until Meagher positively ordered him off the field, ‘The Sixty-third was a small regiment, but not a whit belimd the others save in strength. At the close of the Seven Days’ Retreat occurred a little incident which fastened the brigade to General Summer's heart with hooks of steel. Some muskets were ofcourse lost and thrown away on that pro- longed retreat, but astonishingly ‘ew, all things considered, Every case that cume to General umner’s Hotice angered him beyond bounds, When one morning an officer of the Eighty- eighth came to him with a requisition tor quite « number of muskets, Sumner -broke out violently, denounced bitterly men who would lose or abandon their arms, and ended by say- ing, “You shall not have ‘those muskets, sir. Til'take them all away from you and make your men dig trenches. Such men are not fit to carry arms.”* ‘The officer listened calmly to this tirade, and then said, “You're mistaken there, general. We've not'lost them nor thrown them away.” “Where are they, then?” said Sumner. ‘Outside, sir. “[ thought maybe you'd be wanting to see them.” The general went out, and found apile of muskets with cracked and splintered stocks, bent barrels, and twisted bayonets. ‘How is this?” said he.

When McClellan was finally ready to move, | it was found that the enemy had abandoned | their works at Manassas, and we were pushed | forward on their retreating tracks. While riding through their abandoned camps, two of | us, both youngsters, and about equally green, | caime across a most curious figure, an old man, with long white hairand a patriarchal although | sadly unkempt beard. He was dressed in a| nondeseript coat which looked as it it had be- gun life blue, then decided to be green, and | finally bit upon @ dirty drab. He nodded and | rode by. We wondered who or what he couid be. The more we thought about him the more suspicious he seemed, and we fi that he must be a sort of rebel Rip . who had waked up to find his friends gone and his foes In possession, and was making the best ot his waySouth. We felt proud of our acute- ness, and only regretted that we had let him | ket such a start that it was impracticable to ar- rest him, or at any rate, to satisfy our susp cions. A day or two after we met our old revel riding along with General Meagher, chatting iost amicably, and that it was Dr. Larry Rey holds, of the Sixty-third, familiarly and tondiy known as old Larry, poet of no mean perforr ance, steeped to the eyes in Irish lore, honest as @ looking-glass, with the heart of a child and the grow] of a mastiff,—a Celtle Diogenes. His namesake and antithesis, Dr. Frank Reynolds, of the Elghty-eighth, afterwards medical dire tor of the brigade, was an Irishman with En: lsh proclivities, ‘a brilliant surgeon, a capital jockey and a fascinating companion, when a halfveiled insoiencs of manner could be kept so bounds. He rode # three-quarter-bred chest- nut, which he had bullied a timid old citizen fats selling to him at his own price, and trim, sportsman-like figure could be citea seen on the march, occasionally cutting off a mile of riding by taking “Bully for You,” over a Vir- xinia rail-tence in a manner that surprised and delighted us. = During the siege of Yorktown we were en- | camped very near the brigade and begun to make many acquaintances.

HOGAN'S IMMORTAL BATTERY ceased toexist as an organization. It was broken up, and one section attached to each of the other taree batteries of the division, Pettiv’s, | Frank’s and ours. I am not sufe what was | done with Hogan, I think he remained with | the brigade in some nominal capacity tor a while, but finally disappeared from view in a cloud of official disapprobation of his habit of selling government horses and failing to satis- faetorily account for them. Lieutenants Korty and 0’ Donohue both did gallant service. The former being appointed ordnance officer of the division, filled the post with zeal and marked ability until his death at Gettysburg. The lat- ter was attached for some months to our bat- tery, and fell most gallantly at Chancellors- ville. In charge of the detachment assigned to us was an oldsergeant, Henessey, who had been in the British service, as brave a soldier as ever stepped, straight and well set up, with a formal courtesy that nothing could affect. During the hottest part of our artillery duel at White Oak Swamp with three of the enemy's batteries, Henessey approached me, and, drawing himself up, gave the old B: salute in @ manner | which would have won a reeail from any gal- | lery in any American theater, He reported that his piece was so hot that he hesitated to putin a cartridge. I told him to cease firing | and sponge with water. He gave another lute, and, facing about with rigid precisi went back tocommand his gun in his wont gallant style. ‘A REGIMENTAL DUEL, An interesting episode in the history of the brigade was the encounter at Malvern Hill, in the dusk of the evening, between the Eighty eighth Kegimentand the well-known Louisiana Th as a battalion from New Orleans, com- manded bythe famous Colonel Wheat, was called. They were the desperadoes ot the South ern service, and, meeting the Irishmen unex- pectedly at ciose quarters, fought with their nives and pistols. The’ Irishmen, ignoring their bayonets, which they had not tie to fix, clubbed their muskets, trae Donnybrook Fair style, and so in the dark and thick timber the savage grapple wenton. In the thickest of the melee, & gigantic member of the Eigity-eighth espied a mounted officer cheering ou tie Tigers. Striding up to him, he grasped him by the throat with bis enormous hand, and with the exclamation, “Come out of that, ye spalpeen!” fairly dragged him trom his horséand captared im. “we gave them ‘a VERITABLE IRISH HEROES. It was in this battle that very young man by the name of Donovan, afterwards a captain in the Forty-second Veteran Reserve Infantry, was wounded in such a manner as to Involve the loss of an eye and captured.
