The resignation of our beloved chief, General Meagher, has been ac- cepted, and with bim go our hearts, our hopes and our in- sptration. The history of the Irish Brigade of the United States Army is closed. While we feel glad that our brave chief retires with a pure and noble record, thero is an aching void in our hearts; a sad sense of neglect, if not of wrong, done to us and our living comrades; of Phare esis ere wards the memory of our pobie, immortal dead, whose bones lie on every battle fleld from Yorktown to the last and most fatal dys at Chancellorsville.
