Named Entity Results, Thomas F. Meagher

Capt. Thomas F. Meagher, we are credibly informed, has undergone a complete conversion. A gentleman who has been upon a visit to Rio, happened to be in Washington on the memorable 21st, and conversed with a Roman Catholic clergyman, who had then just parted with Mr. Meagher. The latter is represented as stating that he had never seen nor heard of such determined bravery — nor did he believe it was equalled in history — as that manifested by the Southern troops. They were evidently actuMr. Meagher. The latter is represented as stating that he had never seen nor heard of such determined bravery — nor did he believe it was equalled in history — as that manifested by the Southern troops. They were evidently actuated by a love of liberty, felt that they were defending their liberties, deserved liberty, and rather than fight again against them, he would volunteer in their cause. Our informant states, in addition, that the telegram which represents the Sixty-ninth Regiment as ready and willing to re-enlist, is totally false. Of all the "Grand Army," this regiment bore itself the most gallantly at Manassas; but it is satisfied. Its members have been shamefully mislead and deluded, and they return home

Capt. Meager. --A Washington letter says: Mr. Thomas F. Meagher, who was in the fight on Sunday last, yesterday told one of the priests here that he would never again take up arms against the South; that God were on their side, and that if he fought again it would be for them. The same writer adds: There is evidently a very great change in the Catholic Irish who have enlisted. Many of them declare that they were induced to enlist by the representation that their churches had been burned down in the South, and that all the Sisters of Charity had been turned out of the Convents, which had been converted into barracks. They are amazed to find the statement so utterly false, and to learn how many of their countrymen are enlisted on the side of the South.
