ST. PATRICK'S DAY
Today is the anniversary of Ireland's
.pion Saint; he who in the early part
- orthe fourth century converted the pea
pie of Ireland to Christianity. Soon
OW that the Emerald Isle became a
legit of learning, from whose schools
Rogland't ripest scholars received their
Itiumiug, among whom was Alfred the
reat.
To Ireland our government and peo-
lie owe many detts or gratitude, which
Ole have partially cancelled by incorpor-
Ming millions of her children among
Ourselves. Nor have they shown them
saes unworthy of the high trust con-
Ned to them. During our struggle for
nilependenoe—it is asserted by an Amer
historian—there was not a single
Irishman who proved recreant to our
Olathe. In the war of 1812 both up-
CU sea and land, they proved themselve-
equally loyal; and in the present lamen
-lutbhs-conflictin which our government
is struggling to maintain itself against
11 ellion , tbeii have proved themselves
asitedi as steel. From the gallant arid
impetuous charge of toe Irish regiments
liatsigarder at Bull Run, to the equally
untrepki and daring onslaughts at Fort
Donelson, the Irish-Americans have
ahown themselves true to their allegiance
L' and to our cause. Never was greeting
mare cordial,-or triumph more glorious
than theirs, when they mingled their
taam and salutations with their no
: - Wu compatriots in arms, when the
bugle sounded their triumph on the oc-
Old= referred to. Our present hope is
that another anniversary will not come
_upon ms.and see oar Union still divided
and belligerent.
JThe GAZITTE etpresses surprise
at our 'occasional exposition of what it
styles "ench eminent Douglas Democrats
as Forney and Hickman," but its want
ofoomprehension, in this particular, is
easily accounted for. No one but a pow
litioarpedlar would be so ,shameless as
to classify the two privateers alluded to,
among the followers of the lamented
Douglas. That statesman was never
ambiguous; he never masked, nor did he
countenance "the winding and stealing
into place," which has marked the con
*Mt of Hickman and Forney..lf Judge
Douglas' teachings be held responsible
for the political deceit and treachery of
the demagogues mentioned, it is a most
striblitg illustration of Mark Anthony's
position, that "the evil that men do
lives after them." A fellow detected in
the dark, with a lamb upon his shoulder
for which he never paid, would not be
more audacious than the two adventure
em alluded to claiming to be Douglas
Democrats. They and their treachery,
are entirely too acceptable to the prolli
-gate wing of the Abolitionists; they are
entirely too deep in Abolition secrets
and plottings against the restoration of
the Union, to be permitted to mingle
with the followers of the departed Doug
las, who at the present serious period of
our nation's existence, constitute its sole
breakwater, seeking to save the country
Rout open rebellion in the South, and
from secret treachery by the agitators of
the North. It is an unpardonable elan
tboof the dead patriot to say that such
vilepeliticians as Hickman and Forney
are the exponents of his principles and
teachings.
gar Gen. Fremont, according to the
Taismix, is quite a lion since his recent
. 11tOintment to the command of the
sc gattntainDepartment." He is literally
overrun with admiring visitors to con
' ghibilite him upon his restoration to
etiraftryice. The General's capture of
that woolly horse, on the Rocky Moun
tains, when he was bounding from rock
to rook and from cliff to cliff, clearing
forty Met at least at a leap, did not give
him greater celebrity as pt dashing ad
'llititnret, than has his recent defeat of
the Sidra, as evidenced in his late spa
polntment. If, after he reaches the
monntain, on which he is expected to
Vl' oommand, he could manage to run
deem another quadruped, we suspect
that all opposition to him for the next
Pinddenoy would be immediately with-
dbtswn. In the meantime, an admiring

We are entirely satisfied with the re

ICLE having copied an account of the
late unfortunate skirmish near Occaquan,
which reflected upon the conduct of a
fellow townsman, who was in command
at the tame, we deem it but just to pub
lish a statement written by an impartial
witness to the affair. From this it will
appear that Lieut. Col. Morgan was en
tirely without blame, and that the result
was one of those unfortunate accidents
of war which no human foresight could
have prevented.
A gentleman in this city, whose son is
a Captain in the 63d, and who returned
from Wasl ington since the skirmish,
has stated on the authority of several
officers of the regiment, that the charges
which were copied in the CHRONICLE
against the commander of our party were
an unmitigated slander, and false in ev
ery particular A private letter from
a member of tht reconnoitering party
not only confirms the following state
ment but declares that nothing but the
coolness and presence of mind of Lieut.
Col. Morgan saved the whole detach
ment from destruction.

instead of waiting for the facts, gave pub
licity to the statement of an anonymous
scribbler, who wrote from barroom gos
sip, gathered far from the scene of the
encounter. The credit of our city, as
well as the unblemished character of
the officer concerned, should have
prompted its editor to refrain from pub•

on one of our well known citizens:
[Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Volkstols:t
CAMP JOHNSON, NEAR ALEXANDRIA,
March 10, 1862
The Volkablait has just reached me,
which gives intelligence of the death of
Capt. Chapman and Quartermaster Lysle.
I have been sick for several days, other
wise I would before this have made you
acquainted with the circumstances of the
affair. On Monday, March Bd, we march,
ed out on picket duty, and the various
companies divided themselves along the
whole ]foe which extends from Aquantico
creak, by Pohick Church, to within about
four miles of Colchester, From thence
our Regiment united with the picket lin- s
of another ; two regiments being ordered
then at the same time for this service.
This time it was the Mozart Regiment of
New York which was out with us Pohick
Church served us for Headquarters. From
these pickets a detachment of es ldiers from
the different companies, besides commis
sioned and non-commissioned officers, is
usually sent out every night, whose duty
it is to discover the neighborhood of the
enemy's out.poste and their strength, to
seize any spies who might be wandering
about; and, as is sometimes the case, should
our scouting party meet a similar one, a
skirmish essues. On the night of the 4th
and 6th such a reconnoitering party of
fifty went out under the command of Derr!.
Col. Morgan, of Pittsburgh, in which
were Captain Chapman and Quartermaster
Lysle; and on the msrning of the b.h it
marched forth in the darkness, led by a
guide named Williams, towards the direc
tion of the Occoquan. By the advice of
the guide, a halt was made after a march
of three miles through the thick woods.
and the men were ordered along the road
behind the bushes, where they laid in am
bush, cocked their rifles, and so waited fsr
the enemy who, according to Williams,
must come along one of these roads After
the lapse of about half an hour our men
heard a detachment of soldiers draw near,
who, however, passed along another side
road from that on which we were expect
ing the rebels, weich turns in on the
country road and qulte close to us, without
our being able to recognize the uniforms
in the darkness Morgan, thinking it was
the scouting party of the Mozart regiment,
which should then be cuming home, in
order t, avoid any noise, did not stop
them, and so the detachment of twenty
men passed by. After some tune it became
apparent that it was a body of the sot
called Texan Rangers, asd our detach.
relent started to follow them. The psrty
of the enemy had in the meantime got a
considerable start, and anticipating an at
tack, hid themselves in the bashes.
As our men approached their ambuscade
Capt Chapman and Lysle were about two
hundred yards in advance, when shots
were heard—Chapman, Lysle, and a sots
Bier fell instantly, another was shot
through the arm, which had since then to
be amputated. Our men returned the tire
and rushed with a loud hazes, with fixed
bayonets on them. The rebels ran leaving
bloodsstained footmarks along the paths,
with which they were well acquainted,
and oar men were compelled by the dark,
ness to give up the pursuit.
The ball struck Capt. Chapman under
the left eye, passed throt s gh the head end
came oht through the collar of hie military
coat; he fell instantly dead. Chapman
was in the three months' campaign ; all
his company loved him ; and he was also
known in the regiment as one of the best
officers. Lysle was shot through the mus- '
cies of the left arm; from thence the ball,
passing through the lungs, the heart, ins
deed, through his whole breast, oame out
on the left side ; he lived abo .t ten min
utes after. As Quartermaster, Lytle was
both punctual and honest, and continually
cared for the regiment,so that we much tee
gret his loss. The soldier, named Moore,
from Franklin, Pa., received his shot in
the breast, and in about twenty-five mins
sites his life had fled The two officers
were sent in metallic coffins to Pittsburgh,
after the corps of officers,together with the
companies to which they belonged,with the
zegemental band at their head, escorted
their remains to Alexandria. Private
Moore was buried here with military hon •
ors, after word having been cent, to his re
lations, and no answer having been re'.
ceived.
Morgan is much depressed by this mib.
hap, and every one sympathizes with him,
as the Whole regiment well appreciates his
kindness of heart, his military coolness
and knowledge, as well as his impartiality.
He was, and is still the favorite of the
whole regiment. Some Judge hardly of
it, bat had it been a party of the Mozart
regiment, and Morgan had given the coma
mend to ere, a bloody affair would have
occurred, which would always have press,
ed heavily on our regiment. Have pa.,

JOHN NZDOLPHIIIANTI,
The Washington correspontlent of the
Republican New York TIMES write 4, as
follows, and we commend it to all die
snarling old women in the country, in
cluding the editors of the GAZETTE :
"It was doubtless the desire of Jeff.
Davis, as it was his intention, to risk an,
other battle on his Potomac line of de
fenses. Hence, Centreville was formida•
bly fortified last fall, and its pits and bat•
teries filled with a reasoned, brave and
strong army. If we had advanced in Dd•
comber, we should have met a bloody re.
sistatc , :; and if we had succeeded in driving
the rebels from their position at Centre
ville, they would have fallen hack upon
Manassas and compelled us to tight anoth
er sanguinary batt.e. There is no doubt
wh,tever that Jeff. Davis desired, above
all things earthly, an advance by General
McClellan in midwinter, upon his ;waded
places, while he had a powerful and corl
dent army to meet the assault. But Gen.
McClellan followed that always safe and
winning rule in war, "Never make the
IllOVe that the enemy wishes you to make,"
By delaying, the rebel army was permitted
to dissolve. The enlistments of their men
expir( d and no per.ussions, no promises
could Induce them to ro enlist. Day:B la

The Radicals cu the Erostdont.
The Washngton correepond.)nt the
New Times, of haturday, says that
a caucus of Republican Senators war, held
at the Capito: to consider the resolution
onitained in the Preii.ient'a special mss.
sage, which passed the House a day or two
since. There is some opposition to this
mefsage among the radical wing of the
party, who do not hesitate to avow their
sentiments, add 'old that slavery ought to
be abolished, without any compensation to
the masters
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
IMQCIRER gives the following clever
sketch of 'Manassas:
"About noon Generale McClellan and
McDowell, with their stairs, and 20)00
cavalry for en escort, came up and took
the road to Manassas. We fell in with
them and followed nu down to Manna«
Ms. All along to the left of the road
was one continuous string of huts, tents
and forts, all empty now—not a human
being or animal t.howed themselves—
not a sound save the clatter of the hor
ses' hoofs, the shrill tones of the bugles,
or the loud orders of the officers.

Orleans, and three SDuth Carolina rtgi•

The plains rf Nl:3!ltiaSaF are really what
their name The time w. , s when
there were which t h=tructed the
range cf vrien, but they ate as gore now;
for miles around we have an unbroken
view. 01 th -, hills around are the temps
still left, and a column of smoke away off
to the right hnlicated that Msnassaa was
on fire. Our cas airy had gone there dur
ing Mond-.y right, and found the rear of
the enemy stilt there; but they were firing
the remaining property.
-The eight, of the Junction cannot be
portrayed; the large machine elo.,pe, the
station housca, the commissa:y and guar,
ternott-ter store•housee, all in ashes. On
the track stood the wreck of a locomotive,
arid not far down the remains of four
freight cars which had been burned; t l the
right 500 barrels of ti..ur had been stove in,
and 200 barrels of vinegar and molasses
had bean ailowed to try experiments to
chemical combinations. S.me fifty bar
rels of pork and beef had been scattered
around in the mud, and a few hundred
yards down the track a dense cloud of
smoke was arising from the remains of a
factory which had been used for rendering
up tallow and boiling bones Ahout
thousand good hides were stretched in a
field close by, upon stakes, and remain um,
injured.
Leaving the juncti: n, wo e:l rode up to
the Bull Run battle field. The different
positions occupied by the different forces
were explained by General McDowell.
They are the same now as when we stood
there on that memorable Sabbath. AU
was quiet through that now, peaceful dale
The roar of the murderous artillery, the
flash of the musketry, end the groans of
the wounded and dying seemed to be still
ringing in our ears ; but the chirping of
the tree frogs, or a solitary bird perched
upon a sheltered bush, was all that really
broke the stillness.
As we halted for a moment wo noticed
on the hilltops a number of empty Mats ;
along the ravines were the strong natural
defenses so lately garrisoned by the rebel
hordes ; but they have all gone now. Near
the field where Col. Cameron fell are long
and broad trenches, only distinguished as
graves by the new made earth, on which
the grass this lest summer has refused to
grow. The hillside where Schenck led his
division under the murderous fire, the ra
vine where the rebel cavalry outflanked
the little old negro hut and other
inee they used as hospitals, are still there;
the blood stained floor covered with dirt.
The stone bridge has been blown up, and
is now a beep of ruins.
The rebel army of the Potomac, from all
appearances, has been at times strong in
number and well entrenched. They may
have had one hundred and fifty thousand
men, but we much doubt If they have
had over one hundred and ten or one har.
dred and twenty thousand. Whether they
could have been cut off last fall or this
winter, or could have been driven from
Manassas in confusion at any time, is not
for us to de2.ide. Such as they were they
have gone hence. Contrabands coming in
tell us that they said they will make a
stand at Warrenton for the present, but
will not fight this:side of Gord, , nsville, and
will force us to come to their mountain
fastnesses to meet them.
