Letter from an Irish prisoner. --The following letter, written by a prisoner, who was a member of Col. Corcoran's (69th) New York Regiment, to his brother in Augusta, Ga., coincides in sentiment with statements made by other prisoners: New Alms Hospital, Richmond, Va., July 30, 1861 Dear Pat --I wrote you a few lines last week, which a gentleman either posted or took on with him, as he resided near Augusta. I know you were surprised to hear that I was in Richmond, wounded; b by Scott. There were eight regiments on the field whose time was up, but could not get home. But, worse than all, they left the dead and wounded on the field, and never sent a flag of truce in to know how or what would become of us. It is Colonel Corcoran I blame for keeping us. He is now a prisoner here. Many is the heavy curse he got from wounded and dying men. I wish you could send a letter to my wife; poor creature. Probably she thinks me dead. She lives at 212 West 26th street. Direct
