Opinion of an enemy.
--Michael Corcoran; late commander of the famous New York 69th Regiment, (now a resident of this city,) is reported on the authority of a correspondent of a Southern paper, to have said in reference to the battle of Manassas Plains, on the 21st of July: "That the rapid concentration of troops against our left swelled the attacking force to 37,000 or 38,000 men by eleven o'clock, and at one P. M., McDowell and Scott felt confident of victory; that this huge army consisted of the flower of the Federal army, and if every Southern soldier had not been a hero, a dreadful defeat would have been given us. That their loss must be appalling; that the blow will so effectually disorganize their army, which was dissatisfied and shattered before, that they cannot, if they would, again assume the offensive; that Beauregard and Johnston are among the first commanders of the age, and their army, whilst fighting in the defence, must always prove invincible."
