The southern correspondent of the London Times, in describing the battle of Fredericksburg, pays a glowing and graceful tribute to the gallantry and action of the Irish brigade under Gen. Meagher; saying that the forefathers of the men never displayed “more undaunted courage at Fontenoy, Albuera or Waterloo,” than they did, and that “the race which has gained glory on a thousand battlefileds never more richly deserved it than at the foot of Marye’s Hieghts on the 13th of Dec. 1682.”
