OUR TROOPS 1N ICENUTIOSY.
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.

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. Bat, fortunately,
the ism depends upon a different tribunal.

POTTER'S REPORT.
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-•

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

has long been contemplated.

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.
