THE OLD GUARD.
Thoireader in perusing the letter of the
gallant - General Meagher, published in
yesterday!s .Post, could not but be struck
by the following paragraph, reterring-to
his Brigade, justly denominated the "Old
Guard" of the Army of the Potomac.—
Alluding to its worn and decimated con
dition he remarks :
' "These facts I represented as clearly and forci
bly as was in power, in a memorial to the Secre
tary of War, in which memorial I prayed that a
brigade which had rendered such service, and in
curred such distressing Mates, should be tempo
rarily relieved trom duty in the field, so as to give
it time and. opportunity to renew itself in some
measure. This memorial was in vain. It never
even was acknowledged."
Whatever contention there may be abou
the services and prowess of other divi
jsions of the army, there is none in rMation
to the New Yerk Irish Brigade. From
?; , ,the first battle of Bull Run, all through
the wtr in Eastern Virginia, they have
been the admired of all admirers of all
that is terrible and effective in warfare.
The desperate valor of the Sixty-Ninth,
. at Ball Run, partially relieved the disgraCe
of that fatal disaster. At SontliMountain.
and Antietam they were in the thickest of
the fight ; and never was greeting more
cordial, or triumph more glorious than
theirs, when they Mingled their tears atd
salutations with their noble compatriots
in arms, after victory had crowned their
efforts in these two bloody and obstinate
engagements. And yet, the dull ear of
the War Department was insensible to
their cry for relief, that they might recruit
their wasted energies and their decimina
ted ranks. Their appeal was not .oven
acknowledged! The Irish Brigade is now
a thing of the past, when . the. War Depart.
ment might'have it still in the field, capa
ble of making these infuriated charges,
which gave it such vast and just renown.
Gen. Meagher, like Gen. Shields is, we
apprehend more of a soldier than a poli
tician. Shields after whipping t e great
Stonewall Jackson at Winchester, made
a speech in Philadelphia, in which he
criticised the. War Department. After
that speech he was relieved of his com
mand. Meagher after the battle of An
tietam spoke in New York in a similar
strain, which will acconnt for the conduct
of the War Department in his case also.—
Had these Generale played the toady, like
John C. Knox did, and denounced Gen.
McClellan and eulogised our War Minister
theic desires and Communications would
have received the proper attention. Their

road to attention and preferment. Shields
is in inglorious retirement on the Pacific
coast; Meagher has resigned because his
Brigade is gasi4 while the politic courtier,
Knox. is luxuriating in a pleasant govern
ment sinecure, in the attractive city of
Philadelphia.
HE CAN'T ENDURE IT.
President Linzoln is aid to be weary o
the constant and persistent nonsense of
his court journals, in regard to their pre
dictious about the
,army under General
Hooker. These papers. by their assumed
superior knowledge of the plans of the
Administration, raise, by ,their oracular
utterances, the expectations of the people,
only to - : increase their despondency by a
knowledge of subsequent facts. No won
r that. the President is growing tired of
this incessent deception.
As soon as Hooker was prepared to
cross the Rappahannock, the New York
Times, the pet 'of Mr. Seward, profoundly
remarked : -
.. ,
.
"The gigantic task - whieh Gen.' Ifoo'ter has
given. himself to do, embraces. nothing less than
the destrnetioia of the rebel:twiny and the capture
of Richmond The - former-piimarlly, boever,
for he knows well that the real rebel capital (or
• bead place' as the etymology of, the world ier.
.plies) is the headquarters of the army , in the n eld.
But he means to take Richmond also ;•• and he has
--mode-hie•-arrangemende to do eo." •
The Timei in this mannerplaced Public
expectation on tip-toe ; and now, after
trifling- so shamefully with its readers, it.
i 3 just as inflated with Administration
secrets as before.
But the 'Blues must pale before the
genius of. the' Philadelphia Press ; we
mean Occasional, who is the gallant-For
ney himself. In his last letter from Watili;.
ington - that profound toady demonstrates
that the destruction of Lee's army andthe

ney -
" In this' last eamiiiiign Gen.-Hooker bas ex
hibited, a genius which his warmest friends have
hardly dared to claim: the power to grasp every
situation. as if by intuition, and to meet the
emergency ort the , instant. The inspiration that
cheated the return to the North bank of the Rap

the re ults of that movement are ful.y.known.

he ought to make them compare notes
fore commenting upon important army
movements. One says the purpose of
Hooker was to destroy the rebel army amid
capture , Richmond; the other declaresthat

the gnat Napoleon. We might go farther
and state that each an inspiration never

"secret oath bound associations," plot

alluded to. They did investigate and dis;

the U. S. District Attorney's attention was
directed to the subject, and yet, after all
this the Dispatch has now the brazen ef
frontery to repeat the accusation. Re
sorting to palpable, transparent and explo

That stately journal; the New York
Evening Post, in what purports to be a
complimentary notice of Stonewall Jack•
son, cruelly remarks : '
" Jackson on the rebel side, like Butler nuours,
has made more reputation than any otter person
engaged in the war, and his name. worshipped

has, won the respect of his adversaries, and is

Correspondence of the Post.
H~RRISRC'RO, May 13th, ]863
Col: Clarke's regiment is still at Camp
Curtin, waiting to be paid off and muster
ed out. Several other regiments have ar
rived, and the discipline of the camp be
ing very lax, Harrisburg is swarming with
soldiers. Many of them are enjoying them
selves in a very rational manner, while
others are imbibing liquid "creature com
forts" too freely for their own good. An
drew McClain, of Allegheny city, belong
ing to Col. Clarke's regiment, was acci
dentally killed on the railroad last night.
I have not learned how the accident hap
pened, bat presume the deceased was re
turning to camp from town, and in the
darknees mistook the railroad for the
street, and was overtaken by a train.
Among other regiments at the camp,
there is one from Lancaster, of which Dr.
Wm. C. Love, of Franklin county, is
Surgeon. The doctor formerly practiced
medicine at Greensburg, and I believe he
has several brothers and other relations at
Pittsburgh. He had the misfortune to
rose his horse and equipments in the late
battle near Fredericksburg, but was for
tunate enough to escape unhurt himself.
He describes the battle as a most sublime
ly awful scene—one calculated to give the
beholder a tolerably fair conception of

The Harrisburg Telegraph this morning
openly calls upon the soldiers here to mob
the office of the Patriot and UnioiPbe
cause the latter copied from a New York
paper a brief paragraph alleging that Gen.
Hooker was drunk during his late battle.
A great mistake, I have no doubt. It is
not at all likely that the soldiers will take
the advice of the Telegraph, and it will be
well for the proprietor of that paper if
they do not; for if the Patriot office should
be mobbed at the instance of the Tele
graph, you may rely on it that George
Berger, who looks like a fat pig freshly
scalded and scraped,will be strung np like
one by the heels on a greasy gammon
stick. The Democracy of Pennsylvania
have borne patiently just as much lawless
Violence as they intend to bear.
George Berger, who owns this cutthroat
abolition disunion Telegraph, is Postmas
ter. It is a sad commentary on the de
generaey of our public men, that law
defying miscreants can openly incite to
riot and murder, in the capital of the
State of Pennsylvania, and yet continue
to hold office. The first Washington

The telegraph is playing thimblerig
with us in regard to the movements of
Gen.' Hooker. "Non we see him" on the
south side of the Rappahannock, and
"now we don't ;" and tot oie of us can
tell where the old joker is. The enthnsi•
astic admirers of "fighting Joe" are some
what cut down by the announcement that
Gen. Halleck is going to join the army of
the Potomac and personally assist Hook
er to command it. Halleck has probably
been studying the darkey's directions for
putting on' a coat.: " Feet insert de ,left
hand"; den insert de righ hand •, den gib
one general conwolshun." Halleck first
inserted_ bis left hand . ( Burnside )-at Fred
trinksbrirg ; then he inserted his right
hand (Hooker) at. Chancellorville; and
now he', is
,going down himself to 'try the
effect of a "general convulsion."

The Attack on Charleston.
The English journals and speakers, who
comment on the affair before Charleston,
mistake the nature of the operations, and
some of them represent it as, to use the
sounding phrase of the London Times,
"a catastrophe more signal than any re
verse the North -has yet sustained,' If
such words mean anything, they mean that
we suffered at Chareston a loss in men or
material unequalled in any *Mons con
test ; and if English readers would once
compare the facts—that we lost but two or
three lives and a single ship—with the col
' bring given to the affair by the Times,
they would see that the comments of that
unscrupulous journal are not to be trusted.
The attack upon Charleston, as it was
called, was in fact, as has been abundant
ly shown, an.experiment t with forces al
most untried, •.to ascertain whether iron
ships could really withstand fortifications
long enoug to batter them down, and
whether our Monitors were stout enough
to face the Blakeley and Whitworth guns
which the rebels obtained from England,
and without which they could not, we now
know, have held their ground against the
Monitors at all. It was a trial to see if it
was possible to capture a city by machin
ery; something akin to the famous expert ,
met of Archimedes—the Ericsson of that
day—when he attempted to destroy the
fleet of Marceline with immense burning
glasses. Both experiments were tried in
the hope of saving life in an attack ; and
it was not unnatural that our naval ottieere,
having at their command a fleet of ships
reported shot proof, should ask to make
such an experiment. The Monitors could
I, not hear the fire and retired, though with
alight injury, and with scarcely a life lost.
To call that " a catastrophe more signal
than any reverse the North has yet sus
tained," is simply nonsenss.
We are not of those who believe that
the capture and occupation of Charleston
would be a great benefit at this ..atage of
the war; but if anything of this Rind has
been intended, there would of course be a
combined movement of land and naval
forces,and a regular investment by which,
the soldiers, having secured a lodgement
as was easily in their power at that time,
the redaction of Fort Sumter would have
become as certain as that of Fort Pulaski
was when our batteries were once placed.
This, the obvious and safe course, was not
pursued, simply because the navy desired
to try an important and even necessary
experiment, which, if it had resulted as
many hoped, would have made a tedious
investment and bloody assault unnecessary.
Out of that terrible quarter,of an hour
before Sumter our naval: officers brought
away much precious knowledge and espe•
r:euce, and no one who wishes well to our
navy will regret the trial.

The kttaek on Sumpter.
The Chaplain of the 115th regiment of
New York State volunteers, writing over
his own name from Hilton Head, in de
fence of General Hunter, whose action in
the Charleston affair has been censured,
tells the following story:
"Soon after the attack on Fort Sump:
ter had commenced, and when promising
favorable results, a despatch arrived from
Washington, ordering a delay in the at
tack on Charleston, and that three of the
the Monitors be sent to the reliif of Admir
al Farragut at Vicksburg. This order
was sent with the supposition that the at
tack on Charleston had not commenced.
On the arrival of the order,
a council of
naval officers was held. Some of them
were in favor of continuing the attack, but
Admiral Dupont decided in the negative.
He reasoned thus: If I should continue
the attack contrary to . orders, and should
succeed, the Government might sustain
me. If I should make a failure. and lose

already commenced, and that it would go
out to the country as a failure, another
order came for the immediate renewal of
the attack.
IN a cave, on the banks of the river
Charente, in France, in the department of
Vienna, M. Joy has discovered a con
glomerate of a receat geological forma
tion, which contains, among the pebbles
and natural cement which compose it, a
considerable quantity of objects worked
by the hand of man, in flint or bone, such
as knives and arrow-heads. On a frag
ment of polished bone, broken out of the
mass, he has found designs of two quadru
peds in profile; they appear to be deer.—
This is certainly the most ancient speci
men of design yet found in Gaul, and if
we may judge by the very crude nature of
the instruments found in the same place,
and by the absence of metal in any form
in the conglomerate, it may be attributed
to the very first Age, of civilization. All
these "specimens have been deposited in
the museum at Cluny.
SCGACI in plants is analogous to fat in an
imals ; as if it was the end a plant had in
view by its vitality to produce and lay up
in store within itself sugar. Hence, the
subserviency of plants to man in this case
is self-evident. Nearly every flower cup
contains a minute portion of sugar, which,
being gathered by bees, we are familiar
with as honey, the peculiar flavor of which
depenes upon the blossoms it is taken from.
Grapes are so full of sugar that, when
dried, white crystals of it are found within
the fruit, which may be seen when raisins
are cut open.
The editor of the Nashville Union saw

NEW YORK, May 14.—Advices from
Puebla via Havana to the 21st ult., state
that the French were repulsed on the 13th
in an attack on the convents of St. Augus
tine, Carmen Mercer.
On the 14th a battle occurred at Atlixi
co between part of Comonfort's forces
and the French. Both parties claim ein
em, but the chiV design of Comfort, to
dislodge the French from Atlixico,• was
not attained.
Reports had reached Vera Cruz that
the French were driven trom Fort San
Jauvier and the Hill of San Juan to their
former position at A malican. The French
account disagrees with this, and reports
the capture of the Church of Carmen.—
There is little change in the situation since
the first of Anril. General O. Heroen,
with fifteen hundred Mexican cavalry, had
?nade a sortie from Puebla to attack the
French supply train on the road from
Oriziba.
The French in Vera Cruz had 'great
fears that a million of dollars, with a large
amount of ammunition about to leave for
Puebla, would not arrive.
Gen. Comfort had been reinforced by
seven thousand men from the City of
Mexico.
