THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., ‘Written for Tax Evestxo Stan THE IRISH ERIGADE. No. If. (Copyrighted 1886.) It was while Burnside’s army was still oceu- Pying Fredericksburg after the disastrous battle that the memorable banquet of the Irish Brig- ade took piace. It had been planned weeks before, and the brizade sut ‘at Donahue,” @s much an institution as Jack Gossin himself, had gone to Washington to get the materials, in the belief that there would be no more active Operations that year, as the season was so far advanced, and all the usual preparations for a winter camp were well under way. Donahue arrived loaded down with all manner of good things, just in time to see the army on the move Yocross the river. There was noting for him to do but to follow, and, if we were fortunate enough to win a victory, what would be a more Miting time for a banquet? I know it grates barshly upon our modern sense of propriety, ithe idea of men feasting even in the hour of triumph, when so many of their comrades and Meuds lie dead and maimed and suffering Sround them. But war at the best is a barba- yism: and while in the interest ot humanity all should be dove that is possible to alleviate actual suifering, attempts to raise it to the jane of taste and sentimentas arule either ttle it or give a morbid tone which it is especially desirabie to avoid.

It was no funeral pageantry, but the stera reality, re- aninding us that we were in danger at any ino- ment of an attuck which might drive the de- feated army into the river, and convert disas- ‘trous repulse into absolute ruin, Orders came at once, and the “wake,” us it literally was, was over. The winter that followed in the camp near Falmouth was my first winter really in the (eld, for the winter ot 61, passed in the neigh- Dorhood of Washington, presented little of the distinctive character of Actual campaigning. All our amusement was found in thecity. We chad few acquaintances outside of our own or- anization and those that we met casually in ‘ashington.

Then there was John Biake, of the Eighty- ize the comtort and the | J | mule properly persuaded jumps a moderate eighth, during twenty hours of the twenty-four the most quiet, modest, unobtrusive fellow in existence, with a tenor Voice of the purest and Sweetest quatity I ever heard except Mario and Brignoli. In the mild evenings, when we would adjourn from the tent to sit around the cheerful fire which was always burning in de cent weather In front, Blake would, after some coaxing, sing “The Minstrel Knight” as I have never heard it sung since. The tender strain of losing stanza, “I fought and fell for liberty and fame,” remains in my memory almost as fresh as the marvelous voice ringing out from. the donjon tower, “Non ti scordar di me.” An- other of John’s favorites was a fees and dra- matic thing called “The Oid lusketeer,” in ich asurvivor of the Old Guard is telling a child how the Emperor stood— “Tis cry, Vive la France! Brave comrades, advance.” Then turning suddenly from grave to gay, would give “Paddy Whack from Balny\ = with its rollicking chorus of “My rub-e-dub-dub, My rowdedowdow. Ir's then, dear girls, Ul charm ye, And down yell come when I bate the drum, Tosee me fn the army.” Then, as if transformed by the spirit of art and song, be would go on In the most delightful medley,—story, jest, banter a:fd song, the most pungent hits, the slyest croliery, touches of poetry and pathos, all addressed to no one in particular and ending suddenly as a flickering tlame shoots upand expires; the next minute it was only quiet, oy Biake, lieutenant in the Eighty-eighth Regiment. We all believed ‘that he bad a history, and that, perhaps, he had not been unknown to the stage. hatever his past might have been, he has now aplace in the earts of his comrades and among those who freely gave their lives to the land of their adop- tion. “He fell in the Wilderness, Rotlicking Gossin, gentle Blake, and true-hearted, pine Pat Kelly represented the genial side of the Irls| nature, but there was pleuty of salt and pepper, too, in that brigade. ‘rank’ Reynolds, with his caustic, sneering wit and his splendid scholar ship, Was infinitely amusing, but the amuse- Ment was generally at some one’s expense, and there was s vein of insolence running through his humor which was almost intangible, but nevertheless perceptible aud felt keenly.” He loved to assutue a tone of banter toward Gen- eral Meagher’s visitors, especially they hap- peded to be plain men Ge lihived education, which put them at an awkward disadvantage, All this, together with nay tastes and sym- pathies, did not endear him to the brigade, ‘and finally a sarcastic criticism of the Elghty- eighth, instan! vy and pluckily taken up by Major Kavanagh, one of the most gallant _men und one of the quickest to resent a slight ever kuew, led toa challenge from the entire regi- ment. It is due to Frank to say that his cour- age was quite up to his tongne. He reasonably declined to ot the whole regiment, but did fight Pat Kelly, the dead-shot of the brigade, Who only missed him by a hair's-breadth, put- Ung a bullet through his hat. Amid such scenes and with such ecmpanions the winter of 62 passed gutekys and with enjoyment as real and hearttelt as apy 1 ever experienced. The 17th of March, dear to all true Irish hearts, was kept in real old country style. Two steepléchases, a mule race, sack races, climbing the greased pole, and, most delightful of all, eatching the soaped Pig. General Meagher came out as the typical Irish squireen,—green cut-a-way, tall white bat with a deep band, Bediord cords, and white bunting tops. A heavy-bandied, long-lashed hunting whip com- pleted his costume. Gossin was determined there should be no repetition of the Chicka- hominy race, with its brusn hurdles and shal- low ditches. “The hurdles were of green pine logs spiked together from top to bottom, and the ditches about nine feet wide, clean-cut and newly dug, five honest.feet in depth. He rode # gray of the general's, probably the slowest horse on the ground. He was immense in a sulk jacket and imported saddle, sent trom New York expressly for the day. Twenty-one started. Three came in. Six went down in a heap at the first hurdle. Two or three partially Miled the first ditch, and the others were gradu. ally distributed along the course, which, with the slippery mud and ordinary horse flesh, was realy a stiff one.

The brigade bewsboys and Strikers rode the long-eared steeds, ‘stimulated by the assurance of a sub- stantial greenback. But neither Colonel Jim’s sabre nor the prospective shekels couid get those mules to face the ditches. They were forced into them at the sword’s point, and I saw one ditch perfectly fail of mules, protest: ing with the eloquence of their race against the idewotcoming out; but, finally, superhuman appUcations of Colonel Jim’s moral persuader caused two of the most amenable to shin up the opposite bank, and amid the wildest en- thusiasm one, Neddy, ambled in shaking his head and braying vigorously. ‘That greenback Was fairly earn I despair of giving any dea of the chase of the soaped pig; but try to tmagine a large luna- Ue asylum grasping at the thread of oneof Mr. Evarts’ shortest sentences, and you can form & nception.

With ‘the battle of Chanceilorsville my per- sonal intercourse with the brigade almost ceased. I was promoted to a horse battery, and from that time only met them at long intervals, But wherever 1 met them and whenever { heard of them it was always the same, ngbting gallantly, marching uncomplainingly, dying willingly for a country which was to most ouly a foster-nother. Thelr losses at the Wilderness were such thai Major Byron commanded the brigade, captains and lieutenants commanded regiments, and sergeants companies. ‘There was 4 story current in the Second Corps that at one Sunday inspection, at the command, “To the Tear, open order, mareb,” the first sergeant said, “Wily the divil don’t yez step back?” immedi: ately addin tand fast; bedad there’s only ‘one ot yez.” T have endeavored to give a sketch of the brigade, not to write itx history. ‘That has been written in imperishable characters by innumerable deeds of heroism.
