When a foreign state sends a regiment abroad a 2b De e m is sang in every cathedral,and tbe event is made one of proud rejoicing and satisfaction. It Is natural for a people to glorify in their mil itary strength,and therefore it does not seem out of place for foreign but also for the American states, to boast of their strength in arms and to point with proud confidence to their power for defence. But in this particular there is some thing peculiar in the character of Pennsylvania. While the progress of regiments from other States have been one grand triumphal march to the capital, we have been sending brigades abroad, as noiselessly as men ever proceeded to any solemn duty. We have them in Maryland, in Virginia, in North Carolina, on the Chess , peke Bay, on the Potomac, and to-day we print a report of the Commissioners appointed to visit our troops in Kentucky. While our brave men are thus encamped in Kentucky, it was both right and proper that their small est wants should be looked after, and that every effort should be made not only to ascertain their military discipline lad condition, but also to discover, if possible, their situation in every respect relating to their comfort and their physical health. The report of the Commissioners appointed for this pur pose, will be found highly satisfactory on all these particulars. Our troops in Kentucky are in every respect equal to the task assigned to them, and have perhaps the proudest duty to perform of all the labor imposed upon any of thetroops fighting beneath the Stars and Stripes, that of defending the firesides and homes of men who have heretofore born a high reputa tion 'ft:a : chivalry and patriotism—of defending Ilpritscky againet Kentuckians! 'We bespeak for this report an extensive pe rusal, as one of the most interesting chapters in the, history of Pennsylvania's connection with the rebellion.. 7HE VOICE OF IRELAND Among all the people of the world, with genius radiant and impulsive, and with valor ' 4 l2Lat haltbAhrt attested on the hardest fought battle fields of Europe, the Irish people have snitered 4 rattre, and most preserved their own yam:mai_ identity, while in the clutches of a govignment that has crushed innocence and oppressed weakness whenever its purpose of money dr power justified the proceeding. Irish valor his gilded the British escutcheon with its brightest glory. Irish eloquence has given England a name and a fame throughout the civilised world. In the great contest which is now waging between the exercise of the legiti imate power in a free government and dominion of the violence of rebellion, the Irish people are Wig aroused not only to expressions of sympa thy for an ancient friend and relative, but they are nursing' their ancient hatred of wrong by boldly opposing the presumption of the English government, in seeking a pretext'to interfere in the domestic relations of the government of the United States. Ireland is on the side of yirpulloa, and therefore opposed to British diplo macy—and when that diplomacy seeks to em *oil Great Britain and the United States, the British ministry mist look elsewhere than in Ireland for men to sustain their wrongs. Al ' ready have the Irish people entered their pro tot against all British interference in the quarrels of the American people, unless it be the interference and sympathy which that and ail other governments owe our own, to prevent the violent destruction of institutions in which are centred the hopes of religion, humanity and peace throughout the world. However much the British aristocracy may sympathize with an effort to destroy free government, the British throne rests on what is called constitutional Bburty, and when the Federal constitution is obliterated, the boasted Magna Charta of Eng land may be the next to fall and be destroyed by the Brune ruthless hand of oppression. We mist cherish this sympathy of the Irish peoplafar the cause of constitutional liberty on this hemisphere. It will eventually be the means of checking the fell spirit of English des- potlam, so long disguised under English hypo crisy, simply because the government of Great Britain dare not trust her armies, when com ::, posed of Irishmen, in a conflict with the people of this country. Tai pickets of McGall's division have been 'driven in at Drainesville, the very some of the r • late victory, the extemy having promptly reoc- copied the ground with a whole division of ~.*Reteen regiments, while our Generalsallowed , Aard's brigade to retreat back to the quarters of „IlikCail's division. rota MMUS of the Legialittare of Marybuid -- hista m o p* tint no quorum being present . eillift they adjoiill4 u n til fi r ,14 ELANGING-A CONTRAST. Every Union man in Tennessee or Kentucky, who has endeavored to stay the progress of rebellion by burning railroad bridges or destroy ing post roads, has been, when captured by the rebel authorities, immediately hung. The poor privilege of trial by jury —the right of a de fence, or`even the Christian custom of giving a man time for preparation before execution took place, was in no instance accorded to the Union men thus taken prisoners. They were hung without the process of a trial, judge or jury— strung up on the nearest limb, or choked in the most convenient fence corner, so anxious and thirsty are the leaders of this wicked rebellion for the blood of any man who adores his country and is willing to peril life in its defence. Not only those thus surprised in destroying bridges, that treason may be pre vented from spreading, are thus destroyed, but every man in the rebel states who has any con nection with the national government, either by allegiance in his feeling or sentiments, is similarly treated, if his guilt is the least appar ent, or if the smallest excuse is offered for the treatment. This is the mode in which. the re bels carry on this warfare against the legitimate government of the land. This is the treatment they deal out to loyal men. They have no com promise to offer In set= for the compromise which their sympathisers in the North are con stantly clamoring shall be tendered to them, but conducting this war on the basis on which rests their barbaric institutions, they are de termined to be as sparing of mercy to northern men as they are deficient in the exercise of the same quality to the race over whom they profess to exercise a patriarchal control and guardianship. The policy of the government, in contrast with the action of the rebels, presents some strange and incomprehensible features, when we closely regard the treatment of the prisonerri held by both parties concerned in this fight.— When the bridge burners along the Northern Central Railroad were pursued or arrested in the state of Maryland, there were loyal men in that and this state, who could not restrain their in dignation at the course of the government in intimating that the Maryland traitors and incen diaries, deserved death. When the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was torn up for miles by the rebels—and when Western Virginia was one grand scene of coufiagration caused by the torch in the hands of traitors, not a single in cendiary suffered, not an individual execution was made. The culprits, if they did not openly defy the law, put it to shame andridicule, when arrested, by swearing allegiance to its authority.- This was all the punishment meted out to traitor incendiaries, when detected and captured either by the civil or the military authority of the land. To swear an incendiary to allegiance was equal to a resolve to conduct the war for the vindication of the federal authority without impairing the influence or diminishing the strength of the cause of rebellion. This policy of tampering with traitors .by hes itating to carry on avigorous war for their pun ishment and extermination, may save blociished but we doubt if it will save the country. It may be prudent not to endanger the loyel men of the south, by refusing to retaliate on rebels the extremes which they perpetrate on the loy al men of all sections when they fall intp their hands, but we question whether the end will establish the good influence which such a course is calculated to wield over the maddened masses of the slave states. No party of rebels were ever brought back to allegiance with Mild persuasions or by compromises. Such acts are always received as evidence of cowardice if not actual inability to cope with such enemies, and therefore the longer the government postpones the terrible means necessary to crush rebellion, the stronger rebellion will become and the more terrible in the end, will be the means requiied for its complete overthrow and destruction.— The men who suppose that they can compromise with this rebellion, will next suggest the exter mination of rattlesnakes from the rebel states with the tickling process of a rye straw. One is as possible as the other, and the longer we practice the leniency presented in the contrast between the treatment of rebels and loyal bridge burners, the longer we postpone the end of rebellion and the more terrible we make its results. The Chicago hone says it has information from Washington, coming through half a dozen independent sources, which leads it to believe that the publication of the Report of Hon. J. E. Potter, of Wisconsin, Chairman of the House committee appointed to inquire into the loyalty of the employees of the Government, in the Departments at Washington, 'will raise an out cry in the north which nothing but the quick institution of a thorough reform can silence.— If we are not mistaken, it will state facts that will challenge the amazement of the country, so seriously do they reflect upon - the crwelew nees, or something worse, of those whom the people have entrusted with power. The publi cation of the document itself is, we learn, only delayed by new evidence of disloyalty in per sons that thus far have avoided suspicion which the Committee is engaged in sifting. The re port will show that the reason why the enemy is always posted in regard to the movements of our armies, in advance often of officers to whom the execution of these movements is entrusted, is found in the fact that the Departments are even at this day full of the malignant, and of course, active enemies of our Government and our cause ; and that no plan can be so secretly matured that it can escape the vigilance of the servants oft the Southern Confederacy who are taking their daily bread from the Treasury of the United States. TES ENGLISH Puss continues to fan the flames of war. If its utterances were to be taken as conclusive of the intentions of the British Government, a declaration of war might be looked for at any moment.

MEI From Gen. Banks' Division. CAMP 01 OBSERVATION, 106th RIGIMEMT, Nitsa POOLIeviLLS, MD. December 24th, 1861. "What beautiful weather !" has been the ex clamation of many hundreds in this vicinity for the last fifteen days. The fact is we have had May weather for some time, and we are not in the least sorry for it. But j?eanty of the weather cannot lure us into the belief that it will continue thus all winter ; in fact the "natives" predict that we will have to pay dearly for our present immunity from cold, and we are busily engaged in making preparations' accordingly. Early in the fall, the boys had built what is commonly termed California stoves, but the arrival of our new Sibly, tents, day before yesterday-threw the mud stoves into the shade. The officers are building log cabins for their comfort, and seem to enjoy them as much as some of them did their four story "marble fronts" in Philadelphia. When we shall have completed our city of log cabins and Sibleys, we Aral' have as romantic a spot as ever greeted the eye of an enuthusitust. Our camp is situated three miles from Praileaville, and four from Edwards Ferry, on a beautiful slo;e, surrounded by woods, while afar off the moun tains looming up their heavy heads to the sky make a picture worthy of the painter's pencil. You may talk of the grandeur and magnificence Of your cities, but give me life in the coun try. When you are in the city, you are in the narrow contracted bounds of a city, but when you are in the country you are in the boundless space of the world. Everything moves more freely, you breath purer air and feel a better man. But we are not surrounded by mountains alone. This is a land abounding not in milk and honey, but in rebels and niggers, the glit ter of fifty thousand bayonets scarcely represses their open animosity, while it is plainly to be seen that they, cherish any but friendly feelings for ns. The negroes, however, differ materially from their masters. They welcome our advent, because, as they say, their masters do not treat them as harshly now as formerly. Negro corn hiedrings are one of the institutions of this coun try. Every evening there is one, and many a soldier 'violates the rules of camp by "slipping the guard" and attending them. Frequently their mirthis seriously disturbed by the abrupt entrance of a patrol, then instead of the dance the guard-house awaits them. The voices of the darkies singing can be heard by the weary sentinel as he walks his beat, and as they strike up some favorite melody, it quickens the blood in his veins, and he too would risk the guard house for participation in their joys. We can buy almost anything we want from our slave-driving neighbors, by paying two and sometimes three prices for it. Turkeys for Christmas dinner will cost from $1 to $2 50 each; butter 50 cents per pound ; ham 26 ; eggs 60 cents a dozen ; and almost ovary thing In pro portion. . They tell us that slaverY exists in Maryland only in its mildest form ; in fact that the con dition of the Maryland slave might be envied by our Northern poor. lam no Abolitionist...l used to say I never was and never will be one. 71ince I have seen so much of slavery, I don't know about the latter clause. Riding in the carriage of one of our wealthy neighbors for which I paid $l6O for seven miles, I was sur prised and disgusted with his conversation. " Oar slaves, ear," he remarked in a striking ly shrill soprano voice, "our slaves are much better kept in Maryland than they are further South. We give them hominy, bacon and corn bread to eat ; some, in fact, give them Wheat bread to eat ; but that is too expensive, yon know. Sheep media too good for niggers, ha I ha! ha! We have got to lick them sometimes though ; yes, we have got to lick them some times, but it 'kinder goes 'gin the grain. I never do it, no, I ; I send my °miser to do it. Yet they are happy ; they are happy, air." I ventured to ask him if they genii their negoes to.school, "La me 1" and he burnt chit laughing at my ignorance. " Why, no-o-oldr, theyare smart enough without it, sir. Laming makes a nigger smart, sir ; it does so: But some of them pick up a little , hunk' anyhow and I always find they are the hardest to man age." Such is the apeech of one of their intelli gent whites, and from it I could not discover the , divinity of slavery,, unless they worship the Goddess of Ignorance. Much has been said about the return of fugi tives to their owners in this division. No par ticular case has come under MY notice, but a certain brigadier is much in favor with these nabobs, and I have no doubt not without rea son. For my part I cordially endorsellerieral Jim Lane's sentiments—" The object of this war is to crush rebellion; let Slavery take care of itself." I spoke of the glitter of 'fifty thousand bayo nets. I have not seen an estimate of the strength of Gen. Banks, but it cannot be far short of that. bur brigtele is encamped nearly opposite Leesburg and the monotony of picket life is varied by frequent convemationt with the rebel pickets, The river is all that separates the pickets and although the diStanoe is not too great for an exchange of shots, yet the pickets are on the friendliest of terms. Every person , seems to be surprised at the number of men Pennsylvania has sent into the.3ervioesurtmany even doubt it Last Monday one of their pickets called over to this aide, " What regiment do you belong to." The reply was "106th Penneylvania."— "In a pig's eye," chemically 'responded the re bel, "you can't come that over me. I am the the 54th Mississippi, and • rl! be cursed if yoq can go much higher than that." Their pickets . say that they are well fed, but complained of their clothing. Their; underclothes , are of an inferior quality, and overcoats are-out of the question. One of our pickets was offered a twenty dollar gold piece. Great activity Pre vails along their %me, we are informed that they are in daily on of an, attack from us. If we do a them it will not be at Ball's Bluff, nor will ikbek.Ball's Bluff affair, They are erecting a arnalliort, and surely made a judicious seleetion, of a site. It completely commands the passage of the river at Edward's or Conrad's Ferry, Our artillery occasionally amuse themselves;l4:'tiwiwing, a few; shells into it, but they work principally 'upon it at night. The health Of our regiment is excellent; It' is in service over four months, and there as no t boon a single death and comparatively lit ile sickness. Gen. Burns is an active, energetic, officer, and his brigade% point of military dik: , cipliiM will rank with any, in, the army. We have frequent brigade arith, the sightof which any day would draw out foni or five thouund spectators; here you see,' only two or three squint-eyed individuals with 'baskets on their arms, who while talking about southern gener-• crafty, and selling pies, three unties in diameter at a quarter apiece.

Thence he intended marching into Arisonia to drive off the rebels, and he having a sufficient force there can be no doubt of his success, ' The Legislature met on the 2d. Gov! Con nelly, in his message, recommends active meas ures with reference , to the.

The Indians for the greater pelt are peaceable and friendly to the Government. Judge A.my, on his way hither, passed on the Big Bend of the Arkansas camps of the confed erated tribes of the Plains, consisting of about 6,000 Arapahoes, Kiowas, Camanches, Chrien nes and Prairie Apaches. They desired him to say when he reached Washington, that they would fight for the great father and the defence of the Union. Gov. Connelly has recommended to the Leg islative Assembly the repeal of the slave code, enacted two years ago, and from the time of public feeling, an act for that purpose will be passed. Kit Carson is now a Colonel in command of a regiment of mounted Bangers south of the Rio Grande; making his headquarters at Albuquer que. Judge Amy has succeeded him as Indian Agent, and is so operating with him, using the Indians as an escort. As the Union forces ad vance South, the rebels retreat. FROM FORTRESS MONROE.

The Government Stables Destroyed. TWo HUNDRED HOBBES BURNT Our Pickets near DrainesviDe Driven In A fire broke out about 10 o'clock last 'night In the Government stables near the Observato ry. They .contained over six hundred horses, between one hundred and fifty and two huu dredof which perished. Of a train of one hun dred and two houres,ibelonging to a Massachu setts regiment, only eleven were, it is said, saved. Some of the unbinds were so shockingly burnt that it was judged humane to shoot them in oader to relieve them-from their suffering.. It is supposel that the conflagration resulted from mrelessness. So rapidly were the flames communicated to' the various racks, which were filled with hay, that the horses in the ' stalls were nearly all at the same time suffocated.— The scene was most sickening and offensive.— The remainder of the horses, not immediately near the fire, were either setloose or broke their fastenings, and wildly ran in different direc tions. They were pursued by squads of cavalry with a view to their capture. large quantity of Harness; and a' house occupied as a residence by the teamsters, were also destroyed. This large kiss affords an "additional 'argument for the employment of steam fire engines, Which has long been contemplated.

WASHINGTON, DEC. 27 South FOURISS MOMS, Dec. 26 WAHHINGTON, Dec.,26 Colonising the Contrabands Prominent members of Congress are consid ering a new proposition for the solution of the "contraband" question, in order to avoid the expense of supporting crowds of slaves in idle nessand to furnish the American mills with cotton. They take the ground that the Indian, Territory west of Louisiana and Arkansas was ceded to the United States by treaty and on certain conditions. Without provocation they have violated tho treaties and levied war on the United States, thus rendering the treaties null and void. The counties thus reverting to the government embraces the valleys of the Red, Arkansas and other rivers, and contains about 20,000,000 acres of cotton land, of unsurpassed fertility, capable of producing about 15,000,000 bales of cotton per annum. ' It is, propeted to apply the principle of Ben ton's F! ride armed occupation act, and send all contrabands to this Territory, and appren tice them to tl.,e settlers , upon these cotton lands, leaving the question of their final dispo- sition to be settled by Congress at the close of the war; all contrabands, as fast as they come into camp, t be promptly forwarded thither. The country is approached from St. Louis, through Springfield, a distance of three hun dred miles. The remainder of the railroad from Rolla, through Springfield to Fort Smith, can be completed in twelve months. It is said that the plantations of the Choctaws and Chickasaws alone could fully supply the Ameri can mills even the first year of the experiment. As A Brox of better times in Kentucky, Mr. Wm. S. l3alley,who formerly published an anti slavery daily and weekbt.paper at Newport, opposite Cincinnati, apd sustained himself for years, mid threats; abuses, mobs, penury and trials of the most depressing kind—being final ly driven away by a furious pro-slavery mob, his family abused, property destroped, &c.— has resumed publication in that dly. %fr.
