PITTSBURGH : SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 18G4 DEMOCRATIC STA Eli CONVENTION The Democratic State Central Commit tee met at the Merchant's Hotel, in Phila delphia on Thursday last ; 'here was a large attendance, and they appointed Thursday, the 24th day of March, on which to hold their next State Convention ; and the.P.lans designated for holding it is Phil• adelphia. TAX ON WHISKY The increase tax of sixty per cent. per gallon on whisky, prepared by the Com mitte of Ways and Means, in the lower branch of Congress, is not sufficient, in the estimation of the Pittsburgh Gazette. It argues that it ought to be a dollar per gallon at least, because it is "persuaded," it says that, "there is a contribution of from twenty to thirty millions of dollars to the Treasury involved in this question, and every motive of patriotism, as well as morality, calls for such action upon it as will promise the largest amount of reve nue, irrespective, in this case of all other considerations." We would advise the Gazette. not to insist on the rise on whisky, in the name of "morality;" "patriotism" will do better; but loyalty should be substituted for both. The very idea of appealing to the present Congress of Abolition con• tractors, in the name of morality, is the finest bit of irony we have seen for a fort night. Our neighbor's anxiety for the increase, regardless of "all considers bona," is, doubtless, prompted purely by motives of morality, it ought, however, to have some compassion for those of its party in Congress, who are addicted to an excessive use of "corn and rye." Place these stimulating beverages beyond thefts . means, and the sudden transition from habitual drunkenness to inbriety, would cause at least. a hundred cases of manila pota; in the lower house of Con gress, thereby clogging legislation, as effectually, as it is stopped in Harrisburg, by the outrageous end revolutionary con duct oL,,the Abolition Senators. But the Gazette is not serious in ask ing the present Congress to raise the tax on whisky, in the name of morality. Morality in Washington, during the ex istence of the present Abolition Admin istration, is not to be expected. The ex- • ample. of those in power has not only debauched the people in and about Wash ington, but its contaminating influences are felt throughout the land; it must be stopped, else corruption will destroy the country. On next Fourth of March a year, when the Democracy will take charge of our public affairs, there will begin the work of Nations! regeneraliou. We shall then have no such debauchoes as the Chevaliers WYKOFF and FCRNEY stretching their E.“ 3 cracking gar jokes wi _ - These fellows, the RICHARD DAZZLES of Washington society will have to fall back upon their old custom of loafing in restaurants, and put up with the sudden change which will reduce them like Dr 0' GA LLAGRAN, "sunshine and champaigne to clouds and ginger pop." The transi tinn will be inconvenient for those cronies, of honeat ASE; but he, like them, must prepare for the change, and "like well bred dogs walk quietly down stairs, when they see preparations on foot for kicking them into the streets. We shall have no "hops" in the Hest room of the White House; nor shall we permit American gentlemen, of African descent, to lounge about upon the sofas, indulging in tete.a Wes with the Cabinet members "lovely daughters." In a word, we will have no nonsense, bat everything will be conduct ed as it used to be in the better days 01 the Republic. Then will there be blend ed piety and pariotriotism, when even Abolitionists will be admonished and in. diced to forswear even light potations, and to live as Christian gentlemen should. Then we shall have no bastard loyalty and loud mouthed patriotism, no JERRY EWE MiII,PYCKBI,II.Fra and ESId.I4IDAD SLEEKS will be permitted to insult the understand ing of the people by their blatant preten sions; an entire change will take place under Democratic example, when even our brothers of the Gazzette will join in the general acclamation, caused by our coun try being redeemed, regenerated and die enthralled. UNION SENTIMENT SOUTH Every day we see evidences of Union feeling, even in the Gulf States. The edi tor of the Chicago Times, announces that he had, the day previous, a conversation with a gentleman from Georgia, who left Macon, sowte two weeks since, and who is a slave and real estate owner, in that city. He represents the estate{ sentiment of the State as being largely in the majority, and has no doubt that Georgia would return upon the basis of the Constitution and Union. There was a free expression of opinion concerning all questions of government policy. In Northern Geor gia there is a scarcity of provisions though not so great as to produce actual suffering. Manufactured fabrics of various kinds have been quite plentifully supplied by block adeirunnere, and the abundance of Con• federate "greenbacks," compensates, in a large degree, for their depreciation in value. The slaves are as little affected by the emancipation proclamation as they would be by a leaf from a Dutch almanac of the past year, and attribute whatever dimizationof creature comforts they ex. perience to. the advent of "Linkarn.' Such, in brief, lathe "round unvarnished' . _ narrative of oar informant, Mr. Mcßu The Good Queen Queen Victoria had the children of the workmen on the Osborn estate assembled on Christmas, where a Christmas tree, loaded with • presents, was arranged.

Tan. 14, 1864. Editor Rttsburgh Post:—The Senate has made no progress in its effarte to or ganize. Indeed,: it may be said to have ceased to labor for an om/siltation, for the Republicans now . refuse Proceed with the balloting for Bpeak4tr, on the ground that they have one and do not need ano her. It is curious that they did not find this out before they tried to elect a new one. It would be a great misfortune to Loway and MCCANDLESS, and one or two other Republican Senators, to have this contest in the Senate brought to a close. It has enabled them to follow their vulgar in• stincta and pour out the vials of their wrath upon the Democratic members, who are simply standing up courageously for a constitutional principle. The ravings and cevortings of LOWE/ and MCCANDLESS bring to mind the famous fight between two flat-boatmen down along the Missis sippi, which was thus described by the poet of that day: They swore and fit, And gouged and hi', And tumbled iu the mud, Until the ground For ten miles round Was kivered with their blood A novel attempt to effect the result of the contest in the Senate, has come to my knowledge. Some days ago a Democrat is Senator received a letter, purporting to be signed by eight or ten prominent Dem ocrats in his county, advising him to cease his opposition to the Republican candi date for Speaker. The letter informed him that his course was disapproved by his best friends—that in refusing to con cede to the administration the right to or ganize the Senate as they saw fit, he was grazing the edge of treason, and that if he persisted in his conne, he would destroy his prospects for farther political advance ment, &c. Suspecting the genuineness of this epistle, the Senator wrote to two or three of the gentlemen whose names it bore and receiving for answer from them that every name to it was forged. This forgery Is believed to have been concocted in Harrisburg'and consummated with the as istance of abolition scoundrels in the county in which the Senator resides. El. ports will be made to ferret out the "loy• The statement offered in the Senate yesterday by the Democratic members and published in this morning's Patriot and Union, is a complete knock-down to the Republican Senators. It shows beyond controversy, that every day that Mr. PENNY mounts the Speaker's chair, he does so as a usurper, and as a violator of law and of the unbroken precedent of sev.enty years. The statement ends with s removal of the proposition made by Mr. CLYMER on the second day of the Session, that the Republicans shall select the first office in the gift of the Senate and the Democrats the second, and so alternately .hrough the list.' And here theiican Democrats want the Senate orga '4D2c on't ni -TL zea so tat r s ettrarn. SPEECH OF OEN. MEA DE On Thursday evening Gen. Meade was serenaded in Philadelphia by a number of convalescent soldier s, when he addressed them as follows: FELLOW -Eicupass: Those of you wise are from thy Army of the Potomac and from the fielci of Gettysburg need no light [A voice had called for a light that the General might be seen.] lou need no light to recognize me; I am delighted to see you to night. I am gratified to find that you are so far recovered from your wounds as to be able to turn out this in— clement night; but I do not intend to detain you long. I have not much to say. I have just come from the army, where your old comrades in arms are re enlist ing, thus expressing their determination to keep the armor on until this unnatural', auholy, and unjustifiable rebellion is crushed, (cheers), and also expressing the determination not to cease their efforts until the glorious old flag and Comdata- Lion is recognized from one end of the continent to the other. (Cheers.) lam glad to see that you will soon be able to rejoin your comrades in the field. I am obliged to return immediately, and we are making arrangements as soon as the weather will permit, to go at our old work. (Ceeers.) And I want you all back again to assist us, and I want as maples you can get to accompany you. The more man we have, the sooner we shall accomplish the work before us, and so end the rebellion. You know full well that it is only a question of men and time, and we will settle the que , ,tion very ef fectually. (Cheers) Again I thank you for your compliment this evening, and bid you good night.

The Democratic State Convention of New Hampshire was held at Concord on Friday, the Bth instant, to nominate can didates for the offices of Governor of the State and of Railroad Commissioner. Five hundred and thirty five delegates were present from the various towns of the State. Tao Hon. Wm. H. Duncan presided. After the usual preliminary busiuess the Hon. E. W. Harrington wan nominated for Governor, and O. A. J. Vaughn for railroad Commissicaer. The nominations were unanimous. New Hampshire holds its annual elec lions at an earlier period in the year than any other State, viz on the second Tues day in March. The Convention adopted a series o res• olutions, the purport and spirit of which may be learned from the following Resolved, That secession was a crime against the Union, and that we always have hre-i and still are determined to defeat its purpose, and that we have undoubtiug faith that this end may be attained by the adoption of a civil and military policy which looks to the restoration of the Union as the permanent object of the war, Resolved, That the distrust with which taw ard ea 0 ,be mi h macstesik,a has been reg strengthened by the terms cod it , c9 cf the late Presidential message and aecc.mpany• ing proclamation, which we denounce as absurd and unconstitutional in detail. arid barbarous and revolutionary In purpose. Resolved, That we do Lot believe thE.t the interests of either section of the Union, or the white race or the black, demand the immediate and violent abolition of sla very, nor that such a purpose is a neces aarv, proper, or constitutiona object of the war, and that we are opposed to the policy of the Administration as unwise, impolitic, cruel, and. unworthy the sup. port of a civilized and ch - rietian people. Resolved, That we have peen with die trust and alarm the repetted Aincroach menta of the Administration upon the restraints of the Constitution and the rights of the people, and that we believe that the Government is now admioistered with a total disregard of the natural and constitutional rights of the American people. These alarming inroads are seen in the suppression of newspapers, the denial of free speech, the suspension of the habeas corpus, the partition of States; the militaty interference with elections, the imposition of obnoxious oaths as the condition precedent to the exercise of legal rights, and that still greater enormities are foreshadowed in the late Presidential message and the early action of the present Congress. Resolved, That the Administration is not the Government, and that we owe it no allegiance beyond its own allegiance to the Constitution. Resolved, That the freedom of the bal lot must and shall be maintained sacred 'and inviolable; and that we, the Democ racy of New Hampshire, will unite with our brethren of other States, by force of arms, if need be, in resistance to every attempt, from whatever source it may come, to overtara or abridge by menaces or direct interference by military force, the independence and parity of the ballot. box in the ensuing elections, State and National; and to this end we pledge, each to the other and to our brethren of other States, oar lives, fortunes, and sacred honor, being firmly resolved to maintain at all hazards our rights as free and pa triotic citizens of the American Union. Resolved further, That our delegates to the National Democratic Convention to assemble at Philadelphia for the nomina tion of a candidate for the Presidency, be and are requested to present this subject to that body, in order that suitable mess ores may be devised for the protection of the people's rights, and that men in power may be seasonably warned of the guilt and peril of such atrocious treason against the sovereignty and majesty of the people as is involved in the attempt to suppress the freedom of the elective franchise. Resolved, That we would hail with de light any manifestation of a desire on the part of Atte Seceded States to return to the Union, and that in such an event we would cordially and earnestly cooperate with their people in the restoration of peace and union upon the basis of the Constitution; and that we believe it to be the imperative duty of the Administration to proclaim its readiness :or peace upon such conditions, SUSQUEHANNA National Wool Growers' Assooia tion. The annual meeting of this body was held in Columbus, Ohio, on the 6th inst. They recommended a tax of $1 a head on ;logs. The loss of wool growers in Ohio, by the destruction of sheep by dogs, was over two hundred thousand dollars per annum, and the number of dogs is said to be half million. A resolution was adopt• ed in favor of an increased tariff on for eign wool, putting wool growers on the same footing as American manufacturers. What it Eqals. -- The aggregate steam power of Great Brition is set down at 83,686,214 horse. power, or retinal to 400 ,000,000 men. This is the force that is adding to the wealth of modern society in a greater de gree than any power which has existed since the •foundation of the world. The power of steam makes 'produoe wealth representing the labor of a population twenty times that amount. e nien TANOOteA Correepunieut of the World CHATTANOOGA, January 2. A Canard It has been rumored that our cavalry have already reached Montgomery, Ala bami , but this is clearly a canard; but it may be taken as an indication of the di rection that arm of the service will move ere many weeks have passed, if the weather will admit. "The Confederacy is but a shell," said Grierson; and the remark is even more significant now than last Spring. We have now a large force of magnificently sty:aped cavalry, and both Mississippi and Alabama are cleared of rebel troops. Is not a raid on a scale of unusual magnitude, invited by circum stances." Joe Johnston has with him at Dalton all the available troops in the Gulf States, to resist a movement of oar troops, should one occur. Transportation is so difficult that delay would be dangerous, besides, the people are clamorous, lest it be his intention to retreat on Atlanta. That he intended to fight at Dalton he publicly assured the people, but that alone is not sufficient, he must exhibit signs of activ ity, else his boastful language will be sus pected to be mere braggadocio. These things have hastened a concen tration of the rebel armies, and conse quently exposed Alabama to cavalry raids, by which railroads can be destroyed at leisure. Forrest's cavalry in Fast Ten• nessee and North Mississippi amounts to nothing—numbers less than 3,000 men all told. Families Moving North. The women and children are getting away from this section as fast as they can get transportation. Poor half-clad, half starved sufferers I who can measure the tortures they past endure era they reach a land of plenty, and are provided with a comfortable home ? It is hoped that these innocent creatures may find that comfort which is denied them here through the criminal machinations of rebel leaders, Labor is abundant in the North for men, and is amply paid; but how are women and children to subsist, when there are so many thousands of the families of our own soldiers out of em ployment ? Guerrillas About Within the last day or two our pickets have been frequently fired upon by quer rillas, in the direction of Dalton and Cleve land. These miscreants lounge around their homes, near our lines, pretending great devotion to the Un - on and obtaining all the information they can relative to our army, when suddenly they band to gether, make en attack on an exposed picket poet, and then disband and return to their homes before their absence has been made known. This practice, I am inclined to believe, will result. in an order driving cit.i.ions from their homes; and, cf course, under its operation the innocent will softer with the guilty. But bow else can the matter be remedied Shall our soldiers con tinue exposed to these midnight assassin ations '1 But how is a distinction be tween the innocent and the guilty to be reached ' It lea question for the author itee here to determine, whether the sol diers or citizens shall suffer; for my part I see no other solution to the problem, Neither General Grant nor General Thomas, however, are hasty; in whatever they do they will act so as to cause as lit tle inconvenience as possible to innocent parties. But woe to the assassin who falls into the hands of either. Lle will meet the fate his villainy deserves. The Cold Weather. • " iiber thi vietnity yestcr‘2.sy and to day nee Veen Nis cotoell since the winters of 1655-6, the mercury stuudtrg within one degree of zero at daylight yes terday morning, and within four degrees of that point this morning at the ame hour. The details for picket were made as light as practicable, to shield the sol diers; and as they nearly all have warm fire places, they have not sneered so in tensely as they have frequently done on much milder days. Very little snow has yet fallen, not more than enough to give the ground something of a frosty appearance; but this does not arise from the warmth of the atmosphere. Indeed the mercury is far below the point at.,which snow usually falls. The atmos. pfiera is much warmer this afternoon, but there are no indications of any permanent change for the better during some days. Fortunately there is no active campaign ing, and hence the rigors of the season are felt in but a comparatively trifling degree by men reared in a northern clime, and who are fortunately well clad. That the rebels are not so abundantly prepared as ourselves for this sudden and unexpected change is evinced by the fact that nearly all the deserters who arrive within our liree must be furnished with shoes and blankets to prevent suffering. Besides, the Southern people are not, even when blessed with peace and sur rounded with negroes, remarkable for the care with which they provide against the cold. The houses in this vicinity are fair samples of all. Those constructed of logs —at least three -fourths of all—are not even chinked, and the wind blows bleakly through the open spaces ; and the frame and brick tenements are seldom proof against the encroachments of a chilly at. mosphere. They have so little cold wea ther that they never expect it till it comes, and then it is too inclement to supply a remedy. The soldiers in their tents and woodein huts are today enjoying greater comforts than the mass of the women and children in this vicinity. Improvising Steamboats. A short time since I gave yon an ac count of the launching of two steamboats; to-day they are running on the river, car rying supplies. Thia makes five small boats, in good trim, and yet two more are on the stocks at Bridgeport. It is evi fently the determination to be prepared or hot work next Spring. The railroad bridges are progressng slowly. Re• Enlistments. Re enlisting exceeds all the hopes en tertained when the scheme was first broached. 1 believe that if the period was extended to the Ist of March, nine out of every ten would enroll themselves as veterans. It is to be hoped that Con gress will pass a law extending the time, so far as it relates to the re-enlisting of men now actually in the service. The Peace of Europe It is reported that the Emperor Napoleon intends to astonish Europe early in the spring by a reduction of 15,000 men in the strength of the French army, as a pre. liminary to a general European move ment for disarming the Great Powers. It is stated also that, in concert with Eng. land, the Emperor has positively warned Italy not to attempt any aggression upon Austria in Venice. THE following anecdote is from the Columbia South Carolinian: "Two old ladies were recently conversing on the Battle of Chickamauga. Said one: 'I wish, La General Bragg is a Christian man, that he were dead and in heaven; I think it would be a God-send to the Con. federacy.' Why, my dear,' said the other, 'if the General were near the gates of heaver, and invited in, at the critical moment he would fall back.' " GATES—In Louisville, on the luth inst. J. R.
