PITTSBURGH:
W.6I4.ESDAY MORNING, Allti CST 17, InBl
GEN. McCLELLAN.
'he mime of ill used Molt um did
not sound more terrible in the ears
usurper BOLLINGIIROI•ZV., than does th:d
or Gen. MCCLELLAN in those of the lead
ing Abolitionists; this is particularly the
case since the monster demonstration
the other evening, la New York. The
Tribune, the ablest of the radical press,
toimented itself for several days to
*mitten the force of that demonstration.
Its most specious sophistry to this end
is contained in an article of which the
following is a specimen; it says:
`But no candle INIPCLELLANITE Will deny that
Lee's generatihip has. done! more for McCielloh
than McClellan's own. We appeal to every can
did observer for the truth and pertinence of
our averment. that Union Jaunt-es and Union
discouragement are the chief grounds of hope for
'McClellan's success. Here is a Union Ueneral,
aspiring to be President of the Union, who is

his own achievements, but on that of his an •

Thiele plausible enough, but it will not
damage McCrirtadat in the estimation
of any one who will take the trouble to
sift it. If, after the Administration had
dismissed MCCLELLAN ,(after he had
whipped LEE at Antietam) his succes
sor had done as well, he would of course
have been partially forgotten_ But look
at the facts. From the day of McCLEL-

tion, therefore, entrusted with the lives
and means of our people which we must
hold to a responsibility, and not Gen.
LEE. MCCLELLAN is the only General
who from the commencement of hostili
ties seems to have had any idea of the
magnitude of the struggle; the people
feel this, and the continued failure of
the Administration, since his retirement
from the army, of course render him
more attractive than if his successor had
done something surpassing his achieve
ments. It is not the "country's ruin"
therefore, but the Administration hav

so strong in the affections of the people.

prove the correctness of its views:
"On Saturday morning a girl aged about HiX

Pittsburgh is perhaps the most prosper.
ous community in the West; and in such
cities, the abandoned who are starved
out of comparatively poverty stricken
places, always settle. Besides in some
loialities, Chicago for instance, the au
thorities drive their abandoned females
from their midst, and this is one reason
why our city, at present, is so overrun
with them. A remedy for this terrible
and Increasing evil is the next impor
tant consideration. The Commercial
very properly suggests that:
"If we would save our city from becoming
such a pest house of vice and crime as Chicago,
the influence of our Christian people must be
'exerted'in our own behalf."
This fs a good and radical suggestion

will not cure the disease complained of;
but Christian teaching may If it will
not reclaim the already fallen, it will at
least save the rising generation. In
Chicago, cases of suicide have occured,
committed by unfortunate women, whom

What should be done to reform this

clergymen of the country to devote as
much of their time to the instruction of

for the past ten years, to the cause of the
imaginary woes of the Southern ne

to the political agitation of the times,

The 900-Pounder Armstrong Gun.
The London Times says: Some most
curious experiments were made at 5.110t2
iillrryneSS during Monday and Tuesday,
with "Big Will," the 6011 pounder of Sir
William Armstrong, Its calibre is 131
inches, its greatest external diameter 4
feet 51 inches, its total length 14 feet
inches, and its weight upward of 22
tons. The first rounds were fired to test
the volacity of the shot on leaving the
gun, and its volac ty on striking the tar
get at 1,500 yards. For this practice, it
was laid at three degrees elevation, and,
when tired, the noise was less painful
than that of the 100 pounder; but the
shock of the explosion was very great,
and became distressing to those who
were obliged to stand near.
The enormous bulk of the projectile
made it perfectly easy to trace its pro
gress from the muzile of the gun to its
park, arid nothing could more striking
ly demonstrate the accuracy of the piece
or the care with which it was laid than
watching the huge shot rising with a
long wavering roar high into the air as
it culminated and then began its down
ward flight till it struck full on the little
black spot at which it was aimed, and
then ricocheting on, bound after bound,
till its course was lost in a long thick
trail, half sand, half water. Three
rounds were fired at this elevation to
ti. , st accuracy. Its mean error in range.
—that is to say, the difference between
the shot which fell nearest and that
which fell furthest—was only 16} yards,
while the average of the error from the
true line of fire was 1 foot 9 inches.
In all 47 rounds were fired on Mon
day, which, with the rounds previously
discharged at proof and against iron tar
gets, made a total of 74 shots. The guns
showed signs of wear. There seems
however, not the slightest reason to
doubt that the piece will bear easily all
the rounds, 250 in number, with which
the committee intend to test it. Com
paring the performance of the fOO
- for accuracy with the perform
ance of the French, the Scott, and the
Lancaster guns, which are now compe
ting at Shoebury, the 600 pounder has
on the whole a clear gain at 5 degrees
and 10 degrees of elevation. On Tues
day, the experiments were con
tinupd for velocity, which was
testdd at 120 feet from the muzzle of the
gun, at 530 yards and at 1,000 yards. At
the muzzle it was 1,240 feet per second;
at 500 yards it had diminished to 1,172
feet; at 1,000 yards it was 1,122 feet, cor
responding with the velocities up to
1,500 yards, which were taken some
time ago. It hail been said this gun
would take so long a time in loading as
to diminish its value as an engine of
war.
oe Congress of the United States
and the President concurred in asking
the people to pray on Past Day that we
as a nation may not he destroyed by an
"obstinate adhesion to our councils
which may be in conflict with His eter
nal purposes."
This is an extraordinarypetition. We
think nothing of the kind was ever pro
posed before. It has some peculiar Sig
niticance to which we would do well to
give heed. Doubtless nations, like in
dividuals, suffer from a blind adhesion
to their fixed opinions, when reason,
circumstances, and duty demand their
change, It is hard to acknowledge that
we are wrong, and hard to admit that we
were mistalam, if we were even honest
in our intentions : And now that we
are praying over the great questions of
war and Union, reunion and peace, we
are in danger of being obstinate in our
adherence to what in our excitement we
had regarded as indispensable. The
President and Congress ask us to pray
that God would not suffer us to be de
stroyed by this obstinacy; that is, that
we may not perish by adhering to our
own opinions, when by timely yielding
to the opinions of those that are wiser
and better than we are the country may
be saved with Union and peace. If
there is any meaning in the President's
request, it is this that we have indicat
ed. And we regard the suggestions as
one of incalculable value at this mo
ment. The day of prayer is gone, but
not the time of prayer. That is always
present. And this petition, "save us
from ourselves" is never out of place

three years ago, were fed by planters on

the condition of these niggers it has cost
the United States about five thousand

Banishment for Disloyal Practices!
The Times newspaper has at last had
its eyes opened to see how illegal, im
politic, and useless were the sentence of
the military court, and the approval of
President Lincoln, which condemned
Mr. Vallandigham to banishment from
the loyal States for imputed words of
assumed disloyalty. In an article of
sharp rebuke of the orders of, Genera ls. Hunter and Payne, which expelled to
Dixie or Canada certain citizens of Ken
tucky and Maryland, whose conduct
was unsatisfactory to those Generals, the
Tillte4 says:
Banishment, even as a military pun
ishment, resolves itsely practically intu
it confession by those that employ it,
that the persons subjected to it are not
citizens, but aliens. Foreigners who be
come nuicences—without committing
any positive breach of public law—may
he ordered to leave the country. It is a
wholesome right which every civilized
Strap reserves to itself. But the citizens
of this republic can only tie so treated
ho accepting the very doctrine that
Davis and his minions proclaim—that
the United States no longer constitute
one, but two countries.
This much as to the law of the Val
landigham trial and sentence. In res
pect to its impolicy, the same journal
adds:
It seems to take a class of military
officers a long time to comprehend that
it is their business, nut to establish a
complicated line of policy in dealing
with rebels, but to get at them and thrash
them, such of them, at least, as have
arms in their hands. If their is a class
—as no doubt there is, and a very large
class--in the border States thst cannot
be dealt with as open enemies, they can,
at least, be put under restraints which
will prevent them from doing serious
mischief. To banish them either to Dix
ie or to Canada dbes not prevent their
doing mischief. On the contrary, it
gives many of them an opportunity for
doing vastly more harm to the national
cause than the worst of them could do
at home.
While we deplore the partisan preju
dice which prevented our neighbor from
condemning at the time, and as it de
served, the military arrest, trial, and
sentence of Mr. Vallandigham, we can
but welcome even this death-bed repent.

Barbarous Outrage.,
Since writing the article in our first
edition concerning the "branding of
white men" at the Provost Marshal's
office in Tarrytown, we have been vis
ited by one of the young men on whom
this infamous outrage has been perpe
trated. His name Is Theo. Lewis, a res
ident of Staten Island. He states that
he desired to enter the army as a volun
teer, and for that purpose presented
himself at the office of the Provost 31.:;r
-shall at Tarrytown. He was examined
by the surgeon, who, having rejected
him without giving his reasons for so
doing, branded him upon the back, in:-
printing an X between the shoulders
with caustic. We have seen the mark
made,.so inhumanly by the officers, and
can vouch for the facts. Another young
man named Jesse Davenport had to
submit to the same brutal outrage. We
hope the military authonties will at once
investigate the matter, and punish the
surgeon of the above districts in such a
manner as will deter other subordinate
officials from committing such inhuman
acts. We cannot believe that orders
have been issued front headquarters,
ordering Provost Marshal's and their
surgeons to brand human beings the
same as army horses, and look, there
fore to General Dix or General Hays for
an explanation of this abominable prac
tice, which is degrading to the service
and outraging civilization.—N. Y. E.
