What the N. Y. 69th Regiment Thinks of Southerners.—The officers and men of the 69th, with whom our reporter (says the New York Express) has freely conversed, unanimously state that Col. Corcoran is now a prisoner in the hands of the enemy: but that he has and will continue to receive the respect and attention of his captors. The reports in relation to the barbarous acts of the Southern soldier, are discredited among the 69th, who think that if the soldiers of the secession had committed such acts, they would be rebuked by their officers when the fact came to their knowledge. The Sixty-ninth speaks with respect of the enemy's bravery, and that they would take and respect the prisoners who fell into their hands. At the same time none of them appear to doubt. As the troops had ample opportunities to escape service through the woods without doing so, they think that they must have voluntarily enlisted or were contented with the service. At the same time they discredit the report that they were intoxicated, as inconsistent with their bravery.
