Colonel Corcoran.--The Richmond Dispatch remarks :--We hear of but one account, with few exceptions, from all the prisoners taken by our men everywhere, and that is that they came here without any intention of fighting the South, but were compelled to unite in the invading movement, and that if they were home they would never be caught in such a scrape again. The last assertion may be true, but not a word of the rest. The circumstances under which they left the North are known to the Southught in such a scrape again. The last assertion may be true, but not a word of the rest. The circumstances under which they left the North are known to the South as well as to themselves; and their very name and organization, volunteers, contradict every word they utter. We confess we have more respect for the most impudent among them--Colonel Corcoran, for example, who, we understand, says: I went into the business with my whole soul, and I wouldn't take my parole if they'd give it to me.

When Col. Corcoran, while a prisoner at Richmond, Va., was told that he was to be hung if one of the privateers on trial at the North was selected for punishment by death, he said: Well, sir, I am ready; when I engaged in this war I made up my mind to sacrifice my life, if necessary, in defence of that flag under which I have lived and gained an honorable position. --Buffalo Courier, Dec. 9. Norfolk, Nov. 18, 1861. the news of the arrival in Hampton Roads of Ministers Slidell and Mason, also their secretaries, in the United States frigate San Jacinto excited considerable interest here on Saturday night and yesterday. It is stated by a gentleman from Old Point that six shots were fired between the two vessels. It is also reported that the papers of the Ministers were not taken, and that the ladies connected with the party were allowed to proceed on the voyage.--Richmond Dispatch.
