I5eii lkltlef recently delivered an ad dress in Uottoti for the benefit of the family of a deceased Irish veteran of the late war. Some parts of It were very eloquent, and we reproduce them : On the field of Fontenoy, Lotlis of France, in behalf of his nation, publicly thanked his Irish brigade for the preserva tion of the French army, and ou the field made their commander, Count Lally, a general of France. We are told also that when was leconnted to George of Eng land how the Irishmen fought on the glo rious day against him, the king bitterly cursed the penal laws of Great Britain which had deprived him of such subjects and Mich soldiers. The Roncevallea 1'ass, where fell, before the opposing lance, the harnessed chivalry of Spain, saw no bet ter troops, braver men or truer knights than the young legions of Ireland, who so often by their valor decided the fate of the crown of Ferdinand and Isabella. And in later times I have but to Call up the illustrious name of Marshal O'Donnell, of Spain, to bring a flush to the cheek and a light to the eye of every son and daughter of dear old Erin. I could recount to you many occasions where the valor of the It ish soldier and the skill of the Irish general saved the armies of Britain, but no true Iiishinan will contemplate with joy or sat isfaction the victories of England, even when won by Irish valor, until the heavy hand of her oppression is lifted from the Iiish nation and England does full justice to Ireland. A glowing lefercnce was then made to the fact that the duke of Wellington was of Ii i.h birth, and to the services of Wolf on the plains of Abraham against the French under Montcalm and the assault upon Quebec by Montgomery. The records of the armies of the revolu tion glitter all over with the gallant ex ploits of Irish soldiers, who, Willi the fathers of the tepublic, laid the very found ation of our liberties, and whose deeds and loyal conduct shone out conspicuously in the very darkest days of the revolutionary contest. I need give the names of Sullivan, Stark, M'."eil and M'Claiy. Horn .New Eng land nlutie, to call to mind but examples of their host. In referring t Andrew Jackson, the hero of New Oilcans, as of Irish descent, the speaker said he was not the only instance w here a soldier of Iiish extraction has been called as a civil chief toconduct a great re public in the hour of its greatest civic perils, when a nation calls for A single strong hand In a lilatant land one W ho can rule, and dare not lie. For as such may be named Marshal Maurice Patrick Mac.Mahon, presideutof the Flench republic. (Joining down to tho late civil war the General spoke ofjCoicoran, Meagher, Lalor, Sweeney, Murphy, Minty, Donahe, Gor man, Hennessey, Kearney, Ooherty aud Mulligan. Hirney, Shields, Logan, Geary aud Sheridan, who fought to maintain tho government ; Cleburne, Mc Bride, Mahone, Shields and Cairoll, who fought for ihe "lost cause." All aud each wire coiisj ten ons for gallantly of conduct and biave deeds, and equal loyalty to the flag whose cause he had espoused. Their names will live in history, son"; and story, aud neither Gael nor Saxon" has cause to be other than pioud to hail each and all as country men aud compeers. While these names, so great and illus trious, will maintain so large a place in the history of our country, we must not forget that many nay, most of them won their laurels leading troops made up of oflicers and men of ihe same race as them selves, organized into distinctive bodies, kin. u in our army as the Irish regiments and brigades "d that, much of their suc cess and honor are due to the fact that the men they commanded weie so well fitted by nationality, aptness for discipline, capa bility for taking cue of themselves elastici ty of tenipeianient, c ipacily for endurance, careleHsneivs of d inger, heedlessness of sclf saci ifice. and couiage in battle.th.it they soon became the finest soldiers the woild ever saw. Our own Ninth regiment was thus quick ly enlisted, followed by the Tweuty-eighth Massachusetts. Connecticut sent her Ninth also. Later, Pennsylvania sent her Irish Sixty-ninth regiment; Illinois more ; In diana hers ; Michigan hers ; Delaware hers ; and laler, New Voik added the splendid brigade under General Meagher. Would that the occasion and your time permitted me to follow the variant fortune of this celebrated biigade, always, however, dis tinguished bv steady bravery, whose proud boast it was,' that the same green banner and the same stars and stripes led them to the conflict during the whole war, and al though engaged in every battle of the army of the Potomac the brigade never lost a , , True it is there were also Irish organiza tions in the armies of the Confederates; but this fact only illustrates how loyal and true is the Irishman to the community which gave him protection with liberty, and how thorough and completely he iden tifies himself with its interests ; and though they fought against our flag we can more readily forgive them, for by their side fought many native born officers, educated by the bounty of the government, and who had taken solemn oaths to support it. Be sides, something is to be pardoned our friends of foreign extraction, from the Tact, so long well known to the world, that no true son of Erin ever kept out of a fair fight which was taking place in his prcs- The New York Sixty-ninth, under the gallant and lamented Corcoran, was earliest in the field. Within less than teu dajs from the time of the call of the president, assembled at the first, tap of the drum, a thousand strong, they weie guarding the road that was opened for the troops of the north from Annapolis to Washington. Nor was it tho fault of the gallant Irish men of Massachusetts that their brethren of New York were before them. The state of New Yoik. with cosmopolitan liberality and soldier-like appreciation of their ex cellence for war, had permitted distinctive Irish rganizations in their state militia, while Massachusetts with singular infelici ty, had six yeaiB before, by the governor of a short-lived party, acting under an un wise and unjust prejudice, disbanded the whole of her Irish military organizations against the remonstrances of all far-sighted military men, one of whom he punished, to the extent of his power, for opposing this senseless folly4 But even New York was not without her prejudice against the Irish manj and the Sixty-ninth would have been still earlier in the field, but its colonel was, on his anniversary, under arrest and order for court martial, because, with true Irish love of home and nation, remembering the wrongs of the country of the parentage of , himself and his regiment, he had refused to parade his command and doff the green plume and lower the flag before Prince ! Albert Edward of England on the occasion of his visit to America, as if condoning the many oppressions and flagrant injustices which Irishmen had suffered at the bands of the crowned heads of his family. Colonel Corcoran had also the good for tune to command the only Irish legiment that took part in the first battle of Bull Bun, and after a series of gallant and well sustained charges, made by order of the brigade commander, now the genernl com manding the armies of the United States, upon Mi batteries of the enemy, in which he lost his lieutenant colonel aud 150 of his moil, was personally thanked on the field by General McDowell, who was a spectator of their brave efforts. When the fortune of the day turned against our forces Corcoran' regiment, forming a part of the rearguard of the fly ing troops, left the field in good order, their colors flying, and twice repulsed the charge of the enemy's cavalry, in the latter of which their commauder was wounded, and with twocf his officers, Captain Mclvor and Lieutenant Connolly, and some thirty privates, fell into the hands of the enemy, aud as prisoners of war had the still fur ther honor of being the first recipients of the courtesy of the rebels in Libby prison. What are the peculiar elements of the Irish character which enable them, from general to private, thus to distinguish them selves as soldiers? I have already commented upon and shown devotion to every cause and uder every banner for which they have enlisted, but even this has an added idiosyncrasy. An Irishman always seems to feel, in what ever army he is enlisted, as if iu some way he was fighting the battles of old Ireland, and is always endeavoring to put "the green above the ted," for whether the flag to which ho gives his allegiance bears the red cross of England, the jfeur de-lior the tri-colorof France, the double-headed eagle of Austria, pillars of Spain gorgeous with gold, or the stars and stripes of America, the Irishman always manages, in spite of at my regulations, in spito of rule, to set up the golden harp of Etin, with its green sur roundings, atid follow where that leads the green sham rock of his native hills seems ever present with him. As a rule an Irish regiment never breaks. They al ways stand or retreat together ; therefore they seem to possess naturally the first clement which it is the office of discipline to supply to the army. In speaking of capability for disciplined by no means claim for the Irish soldier the acquisition of exactness in the niinutiio of dress and bearing which is sought to be obtained by the martinet. It is always very difficult fr the Irishman to have eveiy button of his coat, fastened, his belt with the breastplate precisely iu front, or his cap set exact ly squarely upon his head. Nobody can enforce that. The coat will always be open, the belt awry and the cap tilted jauntily sidewise or thrown back ward but still the main rJvyiisites of dis cipline are in him. The irishman can never be made to touch his hat to his of ficer with the courteous flourish of the French soldier or the studied precision of the German ; but he is polite and deferen tial to his officer if he respects him for his justice or conduct, and loves him, and will, when wounded, bear him to a place of safety and comfort and nurse him with the care and tenderness of a brother. Indeed, the Irish soldier seems to scorn all trifling details and irecision of the parade and makes them very frequently the subject of his keenest wit and brilliant repartee. I lemember at one time observing on Ship Island an Irish captain drilling his company, being very proud of them and their movements. Drilling them under the eye of his general, he was very careful that their line should be perfecily straight and their movements very precise. Being iu the exeicise of his command in their deployment as skirmishers the order was given to rally on the reserve, and when they came into line it had not that exact precision that the captain would have liked to exhibit. Hanging his eye along the front he detected one soldier on the left back a half a pace or so from his required posi tion, and calling out to him angrily, "What are you about there, Mike Lee? Dress up on the left !" The order wits probably obeyed, accompanied with a reply in a stage whisper that, sent a titter through the com mand, "Faith, captain, I am as well dress, cd as yerself, barring the sword and sash." Allow me another instance, taken from actual life, which will illustrate precisely my meaning and show you what good sol diers good oiheers may soon make of Irish recruhs. When the New England division was being recruited, organized and disciplined at Camp Chase, near Lowell, Governor Buckingham, of Connecticut, had recruit ed, but not to its full number, the Nmth Connecticut. Owing to the fact that its ranks were not filled its officers could not get their commissions, and the troops could not be mustered into the service of the United States, aud no special authority could be exerted over them, and they re msined near Hartford for weeks, with no employment save that mischief the proverb tells us "the devil delights to iud for idle hands to do." I uspect they had become almost a terror to the staid Connecticut men in their neighborhood. The exuber ance of their spirits must find some vent, and, uncontrolled and undisciplined, they found vent in many a roguish prank, which made them exceedingly undesirable neigh bora ; and although to the New England division but one regiment had been assigned from Connecticut, Governor Buckingham wrote to the general commanding, asking him if he would do him the favor to accept of the Ninth. "Certainly," was the reply, "I will send for them." They came and their ill-neighborhood reputation with them increased, as distance ever magnifies. On arriving at the rendeavous, near Lowell, the city government at once swore in a large force of extra policemen to control them, so ercat was the terror their prepense ex cited. But once in camp, where they were mus tered into the United States service, and obedience, discipline and regularity were the order of the day, there was no further trouble, and the force of policemen was at once disbauded. The lamented Cahill, their colonel, soon made them fine soldiers, and not long afterward they were removed to Ship Island, where, Under the precept and example of General Phelps, with alibis eccentricities one of the best disciplinaians of the army, they became one of the best regiments in the department of the gulf. Upon the occupation of the city of New Orleans the Ninth was encamped in Lafay ette square, in the midst of the fashionable portion of the city, substantially as it would have been in Boston to have encamped them in Chester park. They remained there encamped as a part of the garrison of the town for several months, when it became but just in the judgment of the command er to send them to the front and replace them with regiments that had been worn down by labors before Yicksbtirg and fight ing at Baton Rogue. As the highest evi dence of their discipline and the character they had established for soldierly beat ing, and for propriety 'of conduct, when the or der was promulgated for the removal of the Ninth, to be replaced by another New England regiment, a petition was presented to the commanding general, signed by quite every householder of the dwellings sur rounding the square, praying that the Ninth might be retained there because of their quiet behavior and soldierly conduct, and the safety the inhabitants felt for them selves and families in having them there, expressing a fear that the commanding general could not fill their places with ai: equally acceptable regiment. The general then spoke of the rugged health enjoyed by the Irish soldier, his light heartedness and his fervent religious qualities, giving several amusing and pa thetic instances. Without, intending to institute any com parison between the chaplains of Catholic regiments and those of other denomina tions, I may be permitted to say that the Catholic clergy were fully equal to the duty imposed upon them, and in all their minis trations seemed to show that they strove to do their w hole duty to those whose souls were intrusted to their care rather iu obe dience to the ordinances of the Church of which they were members, than with any regard to army regulations or the authori ty of temporal power. There is no good soldier, no observing officer, no thoughtful man who has seen the effect of the administrations of the Irish Catholic priesthood in the armies of the United States who will not pay them high honor and bear testimony that they were ministers of good, and never of evil. In this connection let me call to mind the services of another organization, laige ly Irish, that aided us during the war, but none of which were ever found against us; being soldiers of the Cross they were en rolled under the banuer of the Prince of peace. Frequently on the battlefield they carried neither'arms of offence nor defence. Wherever the suffering, the wounded or the dying lay, there was their duty, and there they endeavored to soothe the one, bind up and heal the other, and tenderly care for the last with love universal to hu manity ; with patience never faltering; "ith the singledesire todogood to all men. They were found in every hospital doing battle against disease and misery, and iu obedience to the commands of their Master, who said : "As ye do unto the least of these, so also ye do unto Me." Delicately nurtuied, holy women, they passed un harmed through every camp, scattering blessings iu their path, looking for their reward in doing His work and adding to His glory. Uh, it was wonderful to see strong men become as little childieu iu their hands and put off the rough manners, and throw aside the rougher and harsher language of the camp, when these women came near. They brought to the bedside of the wound ed and dying soldier at once the thought of home, the ministrations of religion and such consolation as would seem only could come from the hand of the great Saviour of man kind. Many a mother, many a sister, many a wife owe to tin ir assiduous care a son, a brother, a husband restored to them alive, who would otherwise have filled one of the unknown graves that dot the hills of Vir ginia, the plains of Georgia aud Tennessee and the swamps of Louisiana and Missis sippi. These brave soldiers of the Cross knew no creed, recognized no nationality. Their services were given, like those of their Master, to the human kind. Was tho sufferer before them a private soldier or a commanding general, to them there was uo difference. Confederate or Federal, he was their brother. No bulletin heralded their exploits ; no general order gave them honorable mention by name, no personal fame shall be to any one of them, but to the order, to the faith they possess. To the Church they honor they bring great honor and renown- And iu every Southern prison, on many a battle-field and in every hospital, they weie hailed by all men, wit hour, regard to creed, as well by the infidel as the Christian, as weil by the e lucate I as the icnor.mt, from all whom blessings followed thesi C.ttho'ic women with reverent aud endearing names, as Sisters ot Charity, Angels of Mercy, Daughters of God. After reciting the services of the Massa chusetts Ninth iu glowing terms the Gen eral alluded to the scene at Malvern Hill in I8G2, where Porter's corps was acting as rear guard, as follows : Is it wonderful, then, Ibat men of the same religious faith, with such examples of heroism and self-saorifice before them, went to do battle for their country, re gardless'of pe lis and dangers of the battle field, and met death as calmly as they would lay down to a night's repose, like flowers at set of sun ? The Ninth, with two supporting regi ments, are ordered to take position to hold in check the advancing enemy and gain time for the rest of the army. The Ninth advanced to their position as ordered. By some mistake or misconception of orders the other twoiegimens do not go forward. It is now midday. The advance of Jack son's corps is seen winding out oT the wood which had concualed his brigades, lie turns the head of his column to "sweep away," as he fcees that trreen flg, Which meets his eye as the noonday sun gilds Ihe sunburst. Looking around them the sol diers of the Ninth sou the whole of our army in retreat, and they are left alone, their snpjort not having come up, to stand the shock oT the fighting corps of le's array. Not a long time have they to wait. A volley pours into them from the advanc ing lines of the foe. That terrific yell we know so well follows. To retreat, is cap ture to ourselves, with destruction to our army. To stand as we rc under this plunging flic, will indeed sweep us Lotu With stich a cheer as only Irishmen can give. The foe gives back. That glisten ing line of steel, over which proudly il ats the green (lag of Erin, is too much for him. earth; They Charge! Let us meet the en emy half way ! Forward, now 1 Charge ! He seeks shelter in the wood from whence became. Back, now, the Ninth! Give ground slowly, as if on parade. We must get a poBhion where they cannot flank us, and where, if it is possible, our suppoit may come up. Again the rebels Charge. They think we are retreating, do they? They'll find out! About face, the Ninth ! At them again ! Another sight of the sun- j burst advancing, and they take to the woods again, but our loss of oflicers and men is fearful. Again and again was this repeated, from noon till four o'clock in the afternoon. Our commander now knows that he can rely on 110 support and that the safety of the army depends upon his regi ment alone. It is now four o'clock. The Confederate General Cobb takes the field, with his own legion, at the head of Jack son's column and with hum the Nineteenth North Carolina and the Fourteenth Vir ginia, in the language of Count Est van, a Prussian officer serving on his staff, "foam ing at the month," to see the best tioops of the Confederate army foiled by a single regiment. Cobb drives his brigade for ward to crush that small line of blue over which waves in defiance, tliouch torn with shot and shell, the green flag and the stars and stripes together. lie comes out of the wood with his brigade deployed in two lines. One would think the very appearance of those charging lines of gray would cause the blue to vanish from the field. Our lieutenant colonel, the cool but daring Gniuey, makes the disposition to meet them by a counter charge. 'Steady, now, boys 1" he shouts. "Color bearers, for ward ! Meu, follow your colors !" Now the cheer, and our blue line cuts through the charging column as if it were a Damascus blade of shining steel. The tide of battle is stayed nay, is turned back. But what a loss of our officers aud men ! Our blue line is shorter now as we close up our ranks. The flag of the golden harp is saved, but bathed in the blood of its heroic defenders. O God ! the green is red now, as it will be again anil again before dear old Ireland gets her place ouce moio among the nations of the eaith ! The lecturer here paid an eloquent tribute to the late General Guiuey, whom he described as a patriot, hero, soldier aud lawyer aud one whom his hearers had been called to mourn within a very few days. But there is another country the land of his birth which may well mourn him with more of anguish aud regret for his loss as that country may well grieve over the early loss of inanyanothei young soldier, trained to war in the best of all possible schools that of camp and field in our armies. I have believed, nay, I have learned from more than one gallant young Irish soldier, when I have asked him, "What special inducement had you to en list to fight our battles?" fiom the reply, given with glowing and proud eyes, "Ah," General, there should be some young Irish men somewhere trained up as soldiers to take part in the redemption of the dear tld Ireland, and to restore her to what she once was." We will yet biing her back to self-government, liberty under the law, freedom from oppression, liberality and tol erance 111 religion, industry and prosperity 1 : in Iter labor, culture 111 her schools, pro gress in science and art, until the dear old laud shall be what she once was the home of kings and princes but they shall be princes and kings by the choice of her people. These were the aspirations, I doubt not, which filled the minds and nerved the arms of many a brave young Irishman, who, like our deceased friends, fought fov the Union. Many of them are still alive, ami now ap proaching middle age, with each of whom the fervent prayer to Gd will daily be that the time when he may strike for Ireland, as he has done for America, may co.-ne be fore his arir is palsied by age. A Suisgeon a?p a Put F,sT. A French journal says that a famous French surgeon, lately deceased, who was brusque and 1111 polished, found, on entering his house one ilav, an old priest who had Ueen long wait ing his return. "What do you want of me?" "I want, you to look atthis," meekly replied the priest, taking off an old woolen cravat, which revealed upon the nape of l.is neck a hideous tumor. "You'll have to die with that," coolly remarked the sur geon. "I thank you, doctoi," simply re plied the priest, replacing his cravat, "and am much obliged to you for warning me, for I can prepare myself, as well as my poor parish ioners,Jwho love me very much.' The surgeon, who was never astonished at great things, looked upon the priest, w ho received his death sentence unmoved, with amazement, aud said : "Come to morrow at ei.ht o'clock to the Hotl Dieu, aud ask for me." The prist was prompt. The surgeon procured for hint a special room, and in a monlb the man went out rnred. When leaving he took nut of a s.ck 80 francs in small change. It is all I have to offer yon doctor," he said ; "I came hre on foot from Rouen in order t save this." The doctor looked at the money, smiled, and drew a handful of gold from his pock et, put it in the hag along with the o0 francs saying, "It's for your poor,' and the priest went away. Some years later the surgeon, feeling death to be near, be thought hint tif the priest, and wrote to him. He came at oncel and the surgeon received at his hands the last Consolations of religion.

UtOST OH -AO GHOST The celebrated General, Marshal Snxr, having arrived with a part of Inn army at a village in Germany, where they weie t. pass the night, proposed sleeping himself in an old castle, which had been long neglected, and was believed by all in Ihe neighboi hood to !e haunted by sjectre whose nightly yells were often licaid by those who dwelt beneath its walls. Mai shal Saxe was not the man to bo teiHtied by Pitch iejoits from taking possession of his destined Chamber. He accoidingly went to bed at his usual time, but had tmt been long asleep before he was awakened by the most lion id noise his eats had ever heard, and while he was endeavoring to recollect himself, the dooi of his chamtr opened, and a human figure of very large dimensions appeared at the side of the Wd. The Marshal instantly discharged a pistol at the supposed sjecter, which apeaied to strike it. as it fell on the 11-mm ; be Hit 11 rose from his bed and aimed a blow wtili his saber at the figure, but the blade found a resistance, ami shivered in his hand. At this moment the apparition rirse, and beckoned the Genernl to follow. If e obeyed the summons, and attended him to the end of a long gallery, where a trap-door ojiened and they sunk by some machinery into a cavern, which communicated with a sub terraneous apartment occupied by a band of coiners, one of whom, clad in complete armor, traversed the castle eveiy ntht to deter any person from inhabiting it. Thus it appeared that the steel resisted the ball, and shivered the Marshal's sword, but the villain was kuocked down by ioj force, from which however he quickly recovered. Mar shal Saxe, with his usual presence f mind, told them who he was, and la it! before them the danger of detaining him, when he had a surrounding army who would dig to tho center of the earth to find him ; but at the same time gave them an assurance that, if they would conduct him back to his cham ber, he would never relate the history of that night while he could do them harm. The colneis paid a ready o!edience j his will, and he kept bis word wills them, until subsequent discovery of their conceal ment gave him full liberty to telate this extraoidinary adventuie.
