of our army, as the shamrock to Ireland or rose and thistle of the British Empire. Here comes the First Division, that of Richardson and Caldwell and Barlow and Miles; but at its head to-day we see not Miles, for he is just before ordered to Fortress Monroe to guard Jeff Davis and his friends,--President Andy Johnson declaring he wanted there a man who would not let his prisoners escape. So Ramsay of New Jersey is in command on this proud day. Its brigades are led by McDougal, Fraser, Nugent, and Mulholland-whereby you see the shamrock and thistle are not wanting even in our field. These are the men we saw at the sunken road at Antietam, the stone wall at Fredericksburg, the wheat-field at Gettysburg, the bloody angle at Spottsylvania, the swirling fight at Farmville, and in the pressing pursuit along the Appomattox before which Lee was forced to face to the rear and answer Grant's first summons to surrender. We know them well. So it seems do these thousands around. These

d twenty of the Forty-fourth regiment, and four hundred and thirty of the Seventh about one mile upon the left fork. About the time of marching from Loup Creek, however, I had directed, as he had ordered me, about one thousand men from these last three regiments, to occupy Cassidy's Mills, about six miles up from the left fork toward this place, and the remainder, being part of the Thirty-seventh regiment, to endeavor to reach me at Cotton Hill by a march to the left of Cassidy's Mills by Nugent's. On the morning of the 12th, in accordance with the directions given, with the first-named force, and four mounted howitzers, and two rifled six-pounders, we moved up the left bank of the Kanawha, four miles from the mouth of Loup Creek to Gauley Falls; thence to the right, some five miles over Cotton Hill to Herschberger's by three P. M., where at Laurel Creek we met the advance pickets of the enemy in force, as it was ascertained afterwards, in a most strong position, prepared with ab

Speech of Judge C. P. Daly, on the presentation of flags to the sixty-ninth regiment N. Y. S. V., Nov. 18, 1861. Col. Nugent: I am requested by this lady beside me, Mrs. Chaflin, the daughter of an Irishman, and the wife of an officer in the regular army of the United States, and by the ladies associated with her, to offer to not by adopting its name, but by proving hereafter, by their discipline and by their deeds, that they are worthy to bear it. (Enthusiastic plaudits.) You, too, Col. Nugent, have your own responsibility. You bear the name of that gallant Col. Nugent, who, at the head of the Irish horse at the battle of Spires, broke the compact inCol. Nugent, who, at the head of the Irish horse at the battle of Spires, broke the compact infantry of the Prince of Hesse, and decided the fortune of the day. The Irish soldier has been distinguished by military critics for his recognition of the necessity of implicit military obedience, for the cheerfulness with which he endures the privations and hardships incident to a military life, and for his daring impetuosity in b

he people's voice of thunder! We'll plant that flag, Where no hand can drag Its immortal folds asunder! We must keep that flag where it e'er has stood, In front of the free, the wise, and the good; Then hurrah, hurrah! For the Flag of the Union! We must keep that flag, &c. We'll raise that starry banner, boys-- Hurrah, hurrah! We'll raise that starry banner, boys, On field, fort, mast, and steeple! And fight and fall, At our country's call, By the glorious flag of the people! In God, the just, We place our trust, To defend the flag of the people. The effect of some fourteen hundred voices thundering forth the refrain, was one of the most exciting and inspiriting we have ever witnessed. At the close the utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and three cheers for John Savage were given. Lieut.-Col. Nugent, Lieut. E. K. Butler, and Father T. J. Mooney, the popular chaplain of the Sixty-ninth, by song and sentiment contributed to the enjoyment of the occasion.--National Intelligencer, June 1.

While the officers of the association were changed from time to time on account of the removal from the city, or other unavoidable reasons, the organization continued to grow, and was chartered under the laws of the State on March 17, 1887. An executive committee, consisting of Mrs. C. E. Hooker, Mrs. W. W. Stone, Mrs. Nugent, and Mrs. Dunning, was appointed, and under their legal charter, new officers, with Mrs. Sallie B. Morgan as president; Mrs. C. C. Campbell, vice-president; Mrs. W. W. Stone, treasurer; all the other former officers being re-elected, except that Miss Kate Power took the place of Miss Andrews, removed from the city.

tration to repeal the American tax. In the course of a long debate, Pitt entered most unexpectedly, having arrived in town that morning. The adherents of the late ministry took great offence at the tenderness of expression respecting America. Nugent, particularly, insisted that the honor and dignity of the kingdom obliged them to compel the execution of the Stamp Act, except the right was acknowledged, and the repeal solicited as a favor.

r and strength of argument, and commended itself to the good sense and generous feeling of the independent members of the house. I shudder at the motion, cried the aged General Howard, while the crowded house listened as if awed into silence; I hope it will not succeed, lest I should be ordered to execute it. Before I would imbrue my hands in the blood of my countrymen, who are contending for English liberty, I would, if ordered, draw my sword, but would sooner sheathe it in my own body. Nugent argued that giving way would infuse the spirit of resistance into the Irish. Charles Townshend, boasting that he had not yet declared as to whether he should vote for or against the repeal, seizing the safe opportunity of winning an advantage over Grenville, praised the general purport of his proposal, and yet censured him vehemently for anticipating the decision of the house. Grenville remained obdurate, and denounced curses on the ministers who should sacrifice the sovereignty of Great B

Grammer had said, and not a few expressed themselves in favor of hanging him on the spot. To avoid difficulty Grammer was taken to jail. He was examined yesterday afternoon at the jail, by justice Donn, who afterward transmitted a copy of the testimony to Col. Mansfield. From other sources, generally Northern, we gather the following: A man known as Thomas Ryan was arrested early on Saturday morning last, about three miles from Georgetown College, by the Federal troops under Col. Nugent, on suspicion of being a spy. He is from New York, and when arrested was armed. The Washington Republican says he was taken to the guard-house at the College and heavily ironed. On Saturday afternoon, as the Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment were being reviewed, on Pennsylvania Avenue, Mr. Christopher Grammer was, according to the Republican, heard to utter some language of a treasonable character near by. The soldiers immediately took him in charge, and quite an excitement was raised, many
