Last words of the condemned soldiers. --Our correspondent has given an account of the execution of Corkeran and O'Brien, shot the other day by order of a court martial. An officer of the regiment to which they belonged, encamped at Camp Florida, Army of the Potomac, sends us the following letter, dictated and signed by them both, previous to their execution: Soldiers: We are standing upon the ere of eternity; in a few short hours we will have learned the hidden mysteries of the un good fight, and our dying prayers are for the triumph of liberty — our glorious country; and that you all. Holy Father, officers, companions, brothers, sister and beloved mother, may meet us in that bright and happy land, where there is no wars, no dying, and no separation. We die trusting in God, and leave our memories with our friends. Do not mangle us, aim at our hearts! Tigers, a last farewell. Dennis Corkeran. Michael O'Brien.
