The New York Troops In Pennsylvania.
We take the following article from the New
York Evening Post, which is first a quotation
from the Christian Chronicle, and then a comment
and a denial on the part of the Post:
A SLANDER. UPON THE SEVENTY-FIRST REGIMENT.
A correspondent of a religions paper in Phila.
delphia, called the Christian Chronicle, writing
from near Harrisburg while the New York
troops were in that vicinity, makes an indecent
allusion to our Seventy-first regiment, as fol
lows:
"A few days ago a party of men of the Sev
eaty-flist New York regiment entered the house
of a neighboring farmer, and after having been
very hospitably entertained they entered the
cellar of their host and removed the spigots
from two barrels, one of linseed oil and the
other of cider; then they upset several stands
of milk, and thus flooded the cellar of the
people at whose hands they had been so kindly
treated. Not satisfied with this, they went up
stake, cut open the feather beds and scattered
the contents over the floor. In short, they de
stroyed everything they could lay hands upon.
The colonel himself, of the same regiment,,
alter ordering his men to load his horse with
chickens stolen from the same farmer, rode off
without even as much as thanking the man
whose property he had taken. This is only one
out of numberless instances. These men on
only remain thirty days, and freely state that
they did not come down to fight."
It is not necessary to state that these accusa
tions are totally false. Those who know the
character of the members of the Seventy-firat
end of ColonelTrafford, know that they would
not be guilty of conduct so disgraceful. It is
inexcusable that our gallant volunteers, to
whom the State of Pennsylvania is so much
indebted, should be thus grossly slandered, and
that by a professedly religions journal.
—lt is reasonable to suppose that the
correspondent of the Christian Chronicle can
sustain his own statements , and therefore we
will not tricuble ourselves concerning his
verity. Bat for the information of the New
York Evening Post, which • seems to think
that the New York troops who came to Penn
sylvania to save the. Empire State from inva
sion, mid d le actually to defend the people of
the Key ne St. hat these troops haveheen
"grossly elan' • to correct this impres
sion on the ,we call attention
to the facts wh 1 , re relate.
Just before certain of the New York troops
left the Cumberland Valley, (whether they_
were those composing the Seventy. first regi
ment or not, we do 'not pretend to . . state,) a
farmer was directed to convey a certain box,
left at his house by some of the troops in ques
tion, to the 'nearest railroad station, for the
purpose of placing the same in charge of
Adams Express, to be transported to New
York. As the coat of conveying the box to the
depot had not been provided for, and as thoye
who left the box had also left behind • unliqui
dated, a large bill of indebtedness, it VMS not
removed. In several days after the troupe
had left for New .fork, ti efarmer in question
received an unsigned note with a dollar bill
enclosed, requesting him at mice to forward
the box in question. The whole proceedings'
were so strange, that the suapipions of the
honest people rending in the neighborhood
.
were aroused, and a proper officer procured,
who opened the box to inspect its contents.
An examination revealed the folio wing articles:
Three photographs, fancy cases and very e.x.
pensive ; 1 set furs, cost $3O ; 2 silk veils ; 1
crape veil ; silk dress . ; 8 - c Altars, finely
worked, ladies'; 1 table cloth, finel.2 razors ;

1 copper kettle ; 3 books, fancy bound ; 3 pair

drew coat ; 1 over coat; 2 blankets; 2 common
coats; 1 waistcoat ; 1 shirt ; 3 linen sheets ;
pillow slips, spoons, knives and forks, hair
brushes and c mho.
It is scarcely necessary for us to comment on
the rascality which this transaction reveals, nor
are we going beyond the truth when we state,
that theruffianism, vandalism, theft and black
guardienrof some of the New York troops, while.
they were in the Cumberland Valley, have a
terror for the people in that region which no
act or attribute of the rebels can possibly in
spire among the same men. We do not pretend
to insist that all the New York troops sent into
Pennsylvania conducted themeelves meanly, hut
we doassert and claim that the unrestrained and
unrebakedlso• tar as the officers.of the men in

A GREAT DOCTMENT.
Daniel O'Connell's Famous Letter to the
Irish Repeal Association of Cincinnati.
[We continue, to day, the great anti-slavery
protest of Ireland, (torn the pen of Daniel (Y.-
ONS.
Counel, but the crowded state of our columns
compels us to defer the conclusion of it until
iRTIN,
COURT,
W !
to-morrow.--E.D . . Tu.]
We next refer to your declaration that the
two races, viz: the black and white, cannot ex
ist, on equal terms, under your Government
and your institutions. This is an extraordinary
assertion to be made at the present day. You
allude, indeed, to Antigua and Bermudas.. But
we will take you to where the experiment has
been successfully made upon a large scale-.-
namely, to Jamaica.
There the two races are on a perfect Equality
n point of law. The law does not recognize
he slightest distinction between the races. You
have borrowed the far greater part of your ad •
dress& om the cant phraseology which the
Wes:. Indian slave-owners, and especially those
of Jamaica, made ILEO of before emancipation.
They used to assert, as you do now, that aboli
tion meant destruction; that to give freedom to
the negro would be to pronounce the assassina-
tion of the whites; that the negro as soon as free,
wou'd massacre their former own ers, and destroy
their wives and families. In short, your proph-
ecies of the destructive effects of emancipation
are but falot and foolish echoes of the pi ophetic
apprehensions of the British slave.owners.—
They might, perhaps, have believed their own
assertions, because the emancipation of the
negroes was then an untried experiment. But
you—you are deprived of any excuse for the re
assertion Cif a disproved calumny. The eman
cipation has taken place—the compensalion
given by England was not given to the negroes,
who were the only persons that deserved corn-
pensation. It .was given to the so-called "own
ers " It was an additional wrong—an addi
tional cause of irritation to the negroes, but
gracious Heaven I how nobly did that good
arid kindly race—the negroes —falsify the
caluMinons apprehensions of their task masters!
Was there one single murder consequent on the
emancipation ? Was there one riot—one tu
mult—even one assault? Was there one single
white person injured - either in person or pro-
perty ? Was there any. property spoiled or laid
waste? The proportion of negroes in Jamaica
to white men is as 800 to 60, or 80 per cent.
Yet the most perfect tranquility has followed
the emancipation. Ths criminal courts are
almost unemployed; nine•tenths of the jails are
empty and open ; universal tronquility reigns.
Although the landed proprietors have made use
of the harshest landlord power to exact the
hardest terms by way of 'rent from the negroes,
and have also endeav - ored to extort from him
the largest possible quantity of labor for the
smallest wages, yet the kindly negro race have
not retailiated by one single act of• violence or
of 'vengeance ; the two races exist together upon
equal terms under the British Government and
under British institutions.
Or shah you say that the British Govern
ment and British institutiona are preferable to
yours? The vain and vaporing spirit of mis
taken Republicanism will not permit you to
avow the British superiority. You are boand,
however reluctantly, to admit that Superiority,
or else to admit the falsity of your own asser
tions. Nothing can, in truth, be more ludi;
crone than your declaration in favor cf slavery.
It, however, sometimes rises to the very border,
of blasphemy. Your words are, "God forbid'
that we should advocate 'human bondage -in
any shape.' "
,Oh 1 shame upon yon! How can you take
the name of the All Good Creator thus in
vain ? What are you doing ? Is not the
entire of your address an advocacy of human
bondage?
Another piece of sillines3. You allege that
it is the Abolitionists who make the slave
restless with,his condition, and that they scat.
ter the seeds of discontent. How can you treat
us with such contempt' as to use assertions of
that kind in your address? How can you think
we could be so devoid of intollect as tO.holievit
the liver° would not know, * the miseries of
slavery, which be feels every hour of the
four•and•twenty, unless he were told by some
Abolitionist, that slavery was a miserable
condition?
There is nothing that makes us think so badly
of you as your strain of ribaldry in attacking
the Abolitionists. •
The desire to procure abolition is, in itself, a
virtue and deserves our love for its charitable
dispo.ition, as it does respect and veneration for
its courage under unfavorable circumstances.
Instead of the ribaldry of your attack upon the-
Alxilitionists, you ought to respect and counte
nance them. If they err by excessive zeal, they
en in a righteous and a holy cause. You would
do well to check their errors and mitigate their
zeal within the bounds of strict ptopriety. - But
if : you had the genuine feelings Of Irishmen,
you never would confound their errors with
their virtues. In truth, we much fear, or
rather we should candidly say, we readily be
lieve that you attribute to them imagivary er
rors for no other reason than that they really
possess one brilliant virtue—namely, the love
of human freedom in intense perfection. :
Again, we have to remark that you exagge
rate exceedingly when you•state .that there are
fifteen millions of the white population in
America whose security and happiness are con
nected with the maintenance of the system of
negro slavery. On the contrary, the system of
slavery inflicts nothing but mischief upon the
far greater part of the inhabitants of America.
The only ; places in which individual interest is
connected with slavery are the slaveholding
States. Now, in these States, almost without
an exception, (if indeed; there beany exeeptiorr,)?
the people of color greatly, exceed: the whites;
and thus,.even if an iujury were torbe inflicted
on the whites by depriving them of:their slaved,
the advantages would be most abundantly corm-.
ter balanced, and compensate& for .by.the infi
nitely greater number. of ;persons who. would
thus be restored to thegreatest of humau bles
sings--personal _ This 'the old Bentha
mite maxim of "doing .the greatest possible
good to the;greatest possible.number" would be
amply carried out into effect by the emancipa
tion of the negroes._ .
You charge the Abolitionists; its With a crime,
that they encouraged ' a negrO, flyingfrom`Ken
tacky, to steal a horse from an 'inhabitant of',
Ohio, in order:to - aid necessary; to make
his esaape. •We are' n0t,..-u Phu 'full`reflection;

querable loathing is to find that in your Address
you ~p eak of man being the property of man—
of ;aye hotuan being the property of anoth
er, with as little doubt, hesitation or repug
nmce, as if you were speaking of the
beasts of the field. It is this that fills us
with utter astonishment. It is this that
wakes (16 disclaim you as countrymen. We
cannot bring curselves to believe that you
breathed your natal air in Ire:and—lreland, the
first of all the nations on the earth that abol
ished the dealing in slices. The slave trade of
that day was, curiously enough, a slave tradelo
British youths—lreland, that never was stained
with negro slave trading—lreland, that never
committed an offence against the men of color
—lreland, that never fitted out a single vessel
for the traffic in blood on the African coast.
It is to be sure afflicting and heart-rending
to ns to think that so many of the Irish in
America should be so degenerate as to be among
the worst enemies of the people of color. Alas '
alas ! we have that fact placed beyond a doubt
by the indisputable testimony of Lord Morpeth.
This is a foul blot that we would fain wipe off
the 'scutcheon of expatriated Irishmen.
Have you enough of the genuine Irishman
left among you to ask what it is that we require
you to do? It is this?
First—We call upon you, in the sacred name
of humanity, never again to volunteer in be
half of the oppressor ; nor even for any self in
terest to v ndicate the Mewls crime of personal
slavery.
Secondly—We ask you to assist in every way
you can in promoting the education of the free
men of color, and in discountenancing the
foolish feeling of selfithnt ss—of that criminal
selfishness which makes the white man treat
the man of color as a degraded or inferior
being.
Thhdly—We ask you to assist in obtaining
for the free men et color the full benefit of all
the rights and franchises of -a freeman in what
ever State he may inhabit.
Fourthly—We ask you to exert yourselves in
endeavoring to procure for the man of color, in
every case, the benefit of a trial by jury ; and
especially where a man insisting.that he is a
freeman is claimed to be a slave.
Fifthly—We ask you to exert yourselves in
every possible way to induce slave owners to
emancipate as. many slaves as possible. The
Quakers of America have several societies for
this purpose. Why should not the Irish
tate them in that virtue.
Sixthly—We ask you to exert yourselves in
all the ways you possibly, can to put an end to
the internal slave trade of the States. The
breeding of slaves for sale is, probably, the most
immoral and debasing. practice ever known in
the world. It is a crime of the most hideous
kind, and if there were no other crime commit
ted by the Americans, this alone would place'
the advocates, suppoFters and practisers of
American slavery in the lowest grade of crimi-'
nals. •
Seventhly—We ask you to use every exertion
fb you power to procure the abolition of slavery
by the Congress in the District of Columbia.
E , ghthly—We ask you to use your best ex
()Along to compel the Congress to receive and
read the petitions of the wretched negroes; and,
above all, the petitions of their white advocates.
Ninthly—We asky ou never to cease your
efforts until the crime of which Lard Morpeth
hai accused the Irish in America, of "being
'the worst enemies of the men of color," shall
be atoned for and blotted out and effaced for
ever.
You wilt ask how you can do all those things?
;You have already answered that question your
-
.selves ; for you have said that public opinion is
the law of America. Contribute then, each of,
you, in his sphad, to. make up that public'
'opinion. Where you have the electoral fran- '
chise, give your vote to none but those who will
assist you in so holy a struggle.
Under a popular government, the man who 1
has right, and reason, and justice, and charity,
and Christianity itself on bis side, has great in
struments of legislation and legal power. He
has the elements about him of the greatest
utility ; and even if he should not succeed, he
can have the heart soothing consolation of
having endeavored to rdo great and good
actions. He can enjoy, even in defeat, the
Sweet comfort of having endeavored to promote
benevolence and charity.
It is no excuse to allege that the Congress is
restricted from emancipating the slaves by one
general law. Each particular slave State has
that power within its own precincts ; and there
le every reason to be convinced that Maryland
and Virglitirewenid have followed the example
Of New York, and long ago abolished slavery,
but for the diabolical practice of "raising," as
you call it, &Aires for the southern market of
pestilence and death.
Irishmen and the sons of Irishmen have, many
of them, risen to high Ilietinction and power
in America. Why should not Irishmen and
the sons of Irishmen write their names in the
brightest pages of the chapter of humanity
and benevolence, in American story.
Irishmen ! Our chairmait f venturet to think,
and we agree with him, that, he has claims on
the attention of 'Admen in every quarter of
the globe. The Scotch and French philoso
phers have proved by many years of experi
ment that the Itishm,an stands first among the
races of man in his physical and bodily powers.
America and Europe bear testimony to the 'in
tellectual Capacity Of Irishmen. Lord Morpeth
has demonstrated in the British. Parliament
the superior morality of the humbler classes of
Irish in 'all social and family relations. The
; religious fidelity of the.lrish nation is blazoned
.in glorious and proverbial certainty, and
splendor: - •

VILIAT ME THREE HUNDRED FOUND PARROTT 13 EX
PICTED TO DO
From the Washington Republican.
The breaching power of the 10 inch 300
pounder Parrott rifled gun, now about to be
used against the blink walls of Fort Sumter,
will be best understood by comparing it with
the ordinary 24 pounder siege gun, which was
the largest gun employed for breaching fortifi
cations during the Italian war.
A 24 pounder round shot, which starts with
a velocity of 1,625 feet per second, strikes an
object at the distance of 3,500 yards, with a
velocity of about 800 feet per second.
The 10-inch rifle 300 pound eh t has an initial
velocity of 1,111 feet, and his afterward a re
maining velocity of 700 feet per second, at a
distance of 8,500 yards.
From well known mechanical laws, the re
sistance which these projectiles are capable of
overcoming is equal to 33,750 pounds and
1,914,150 pounds, raised one foot in a second
respectively. Making allowances for the dif
ference of the diameters of these projectiles, it
will be found that their penetrating power will
be as 1 to 19.6.
The penetration of the 24 pounder shot at
8,600 yards, in brick work, is 62 inches. The
penetration of the 10 inch projectile will there
fore be between six and seven feetinto the same
material.
To use a more familiar illustration, the
power of the 10-inch rifle shot at the diatance
o? 8,600 yards, may be said to be equal to that
of the united blows of 200 sledge hammers,
weighing 100 pounds each, falling from a
height of ten feet, and acting upon a drill ten
inches in diameter.
