An Irish Regiment.

--We learn that Major Cavanaugh, of New Orleans, has arrived in this city, for the purpose of offering to the Secretary of War the services of a regiment, to be composed entirely of Irishmen. He says it will be the desire of his comrades, should the regiment be accepted, to be placed directly in front of the boasted 69th Irish regiment of New York, whenever the line of battle is drawn, so as to show them the difference between those who are fighting on the one side as mere mercenaries, and on the other for their firesides and their liberties.--Montgomery Advertiser.
