Last week, in St. Antoine, an event of a most horrible and distressing character oc eurred in the household of a man named Magliore Giard.

There are, as I learn, about forty thousand Irishmen in the Southern army ; but they are dis- | tributed, as they ought to be, through all regiments and all arms of the serviee, and have never been tormed inte an Irish brigade. They do not pre- tend te tight this American quarrel as Jrishmen; nor do they deseerate the name or prostrate the flag of Jreland at all. As for the Northern Lrish, who seem to have got themselves persuaded that | the enfrsuchisemont of Ireland is somehow te | result from the subjugation of the South, and that | the repeal of ene Union ju er depends ou the entoreement of another Union in America, our triends here de not well understand the process ot reasoning Which leads te that conclusion ; ner de 1.
