titer Gen. Coicoran was horn in Sligo,
Ireland, in the year 1822, and is now
forty years of age. His father, Thomas
Corcoran, was au officer in the British
army, and saw service in the West In
dies. On the mother's side he is de
scended from the Earl of Lncan. After
receiving a fair English -education and
attaining his nineteenth year, he entered
the Irish constabulary force, performing
the duties of that office in Creeslough,
County Donegal. In 1848, the same•
love of liberty and hatred of tyranny
that makes him a patriot here, made him
a rebel in Ireland. In August, 1849, be
resigbed his commission, emigrated to
this country, and immediately found em
ployment in New York city.
Cr The last news from Washington
gives encouraging hopes that'draftirig
will not be general in the loyal States.
]lopes are even entertained that both
quotas will be filled without any draft
ing,; but this can bcarcely be anticipa•
ted, as some districts in nearly all States
and counties, where" little or nothing
has been done in supplying volunteers
for the war, drafting will certainly take
place. And so it should. Every por
tion of a State— every county and every
ward, borough, or townibip should be
made to furnish its full quota. This will
be only fair and just, and all will then
equally feel that they bah done their
duty to their country.
far ThEre will be no draft in Ver
mont, all the troops for both quotas be.
log now enlisted. This is the first State
in the Union which has shown this
prompt compliance with the' orders of
the Government. Massachusetts, they
may, will also meet both quotas without
draft. So will Michigan and probably
Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky. Ex
tend the time a little, say ten to fifteen
days, and it is hoped and believed that
every State will thus loyally come up to
the measure of its duty.
CZ" Col. Fierce (Brigadier General
Pierce, of Big Bethel notoriety,) passed
through Philadelphia, on his return 'to
hid regiment in McClellan's army. In
the seven days fight he .lost his right
arm, fighting at the head of his regiment,
and now returns to share its dangers in
the fights soon to come off. After the
Big Bethel affair, he returned to his-na
tive State, determined to retrieve his
wounded honor, even if he had to enlist
as a private; and nobly has he kept his
resolution.

Code Napoleon declares that marriage
is a purely civil compact, and under this
law the decision is made. The civil

manded that General Hunter should pur
sue this course. Under a regimental or
ganization for three months, these ne
groes have been drilling, performing use
ful fatigue duty, but have not received a
cent pay. Seeing their fellows employ
ed as servants for officers and as labor
ers in the quartermaster and commissary
departments, obtaining good wages with
out being subject to restraints insepara
ble from camp life, these black soldiers
have lately shown some dissatisfaction,
and clamored for justice. Gen. Hunter,
always quick to redress grievances, at
once disbanded the regiment. lie
had repeatedly appealed to the War
Department in behalf of thesepatriotic
freedmen, and bad tacitly, if not express
ly, received the sanction to keep the
organization in existenee, as the sending
down of uniforms, auountrements, and
arms for it fully proves. But Congress
adjourned, making no provisions for pay

under the circumstances, no alternative
than the one which was adopted."
