The Democratic meeting held on Tues day evening having called primary meet ings for Saturday evening, we trast that there will be a good turn out in the several ward 3, and that we may have a full con vention. Nominations are to be made for Mayor, Controller and .Treasurer. In casting about for candidates for these re sponsible places, we trQßt that the conven tion may select the very beat men in our party. Because the Abolitionists, with all their power, and their presumed ability to elect their candidates, select as their can didates fourth rate men, it is no reason why we should do so. Let us set them an example in this, and show that if we have not the nambers to succeed at the polls, we have, at least, a sense of propriety sufficient to select good candidates. Nor should any gentleman, no matter how im portant, reluße to let his name be used in this connection. The fact of a convention, representing thousands of intelligent voters, placing one of their fellow-citizens in nomination for an important public trust, is m itself a compliment which should gratify his feeling. Let us have good candidates, at all events; whether they be elected is quite another question. 24. 1863, We were not only pleased but astonish ed with yesterday’s issue of the Pittsburgh Gazette , it contained nothing, editorially, of the WTongs it.flicted upon the negro, but it devoted a few lines to the benefit of the white men in the army. This looks like improvement in onr fanatical contem porary, and we, accordingly, congratulate it upon its lucid interval. Oar neighbor bus been tardy however in approachic' the subject. We directed its attention 1 the small pay of cur soldiers BQver times,, but not until yesterday did it g expression in favor of increasing tl compensation. Better late than ne /f, however; our contemporary has at length spoken in favor v.f increasing the pay of our gallant Union defenders, and we are glad of it, it sentibly and jaßtly observes: “The present remuneration of soldiers, as a contemporary remarks, is by no meaDS adequate to their expenses, to say nothing of their valuable services—and when WAgas, generally throughout the country are being increased, their claims should not certainly be disregarded. Thousands of our soldiers have large fam ilies depending almost entirely upon them tor their daily sustenance, and after the earn reserved for the excess of clothing,- over that allowed each year, is deducted from a soldier’s pay, the amount which he is enabled to remit home is very small, this necessarily entailing suffering and want upon his Wife and children. ’ ‘ We recollect not loDg ago, of nlladicg to the fact of some of our Boldisrs' fami lies being in straightened circumstances; at which the Gazette became quite bois terous io its denunciations of what it termed copperhead falsehood?.

Alabama Arkansas .. Florida Georgia .... Louisiana Mississippi Tennessee North Carolina Texas . . Virginia and South Carolina ore not included in this list, because the former - is not mentioned in the proclamation and the latter never cast 3 presidtmiri votes, except by her legislature. No donbt an effort will soon be made to reorganize the state governments in Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee, pud as military governors are not particular, in case there are not a sufficient number of bona fide voters, onough loyal soldiers can be supplied to make up the deficiency. It ought to be an easy matter to raise 4,000 loyal voters in Louisiana, 6,000 in Arkan sas, and 1-5,000 in Tennessee, If Mobile should be captured during the present winter, enongh of Mississippi might fall into our possession to include 7,000 loyt' voters, and if General Bakes keeps ahead at his present rate Texas with 6,000 votes is not an impossibility before the coming summer. The New York World , in one of its usually able articles, discussing the pro ceedings of a tew peace Democrats in Con- gress, remarks that " they must know that the Democratio party can not electa resi dent upon (heir platform.” If their object were to prolong the war or another ioar jeers, they coaid not more effeetnally contribnte to its attain ment. If they could bring the Democratic party to their views, they wonld be the most nsefnl allies of the abolitionists. They will go on in spite of anything the peace Democrats can do; and the practical question for them to decide is whether they prefer a war eondncted by a party that will respect the Constitntion, to a war eondncted by a party that makes the war a pretext for violating its most sacred pro visions ; whether they prefer an adminis tration that will treat the rbeels with jas tice and magnanimity when once they are anbdned, to an administration that will not stop short of wholesale confiscation universal abolition, and negro equality’ By acting with their Democratic breth ren, they have a reasonable chance of see ing the abolitionists foiled and ousted ■ bat ll the Democratic party should adopt the peace platform wa should have the war doubled in duration and aggravated by all the abolition atrocities. It cannot be possible that the peace Democrats wish to create a diversion in favor of the abo litionists, and thus aid them in electing the next President. But this is the plain tendency of their course, whatever may be its invention.” English Estimate of the Chatta nooga Victory. Prom tHe London Times, Dec, 7.

Whatever reasons may have compelled Gen. Bragg to aban don the heights, the movement was not forced pa him by the fighting, bat pre pared and partially executed before it be* gan. General Grant himself speaks of the ac-ticn in tjie cunonßly qualified terms so often employed by the federal com* manders. He ‘ does not consider himself premature in announcing” a victory. He rather claims than asserts it. But the result can hardly be disputed. Bragg baa given up an advantageous position, and this reverse is the penalty the confed erates pay for missing the opportunity pre sented to them after the battle of Chicka maaga. The defeat of the federate was total, yet not decisive, and time h&B re covered for the beaten army ail it lost. Though the Government of the Confed eracy dot-e Dot appoint, reappoint and dismiss its generate so lightly as the cabi net of Washington, the Southern armies judge their commanders very much by results and their own opinion of the persona! qualities of their superior officers. The last letters of our cor respondent at Gen. Bragg’s headquarters described a state of feeling in the south* ern camp that had seriously shaken the confidence ot officers and men in their chief. He was not “popular,” nor had he authority enough to repress the jeal ousies that existed between the subordinate commanders. Tbe discipline of the west ern army was in eveiy respect inferior to that of the Army of Virginia, unJter General Lee. The deterioration, moral and material, had commenced before the battle of Chickamaugo. The credit of that victory was given to General Long street, who- had been detached by Lee with a reinforcement. That the rout ol the federate, which equaled the panic ''d disorder of Bull Run, was not follow ■q at Longstreette earnest request - increased the discontent ot the ate troops, and rendered Bragg opoputer than ever. Soldiers free o their lives, but feel acutely when a mander throws them away. Discon- >t thus created is the severest trial de discipline of an army. The feeling that existed before the battle of Chicka mauga has rankled and deepened through tbe period of forced inaction in front of a beaten enemy. Our correspondent Uft the southern camp with the most unfavorable impres sions, au<l a strong conviction that the re lations between the army and its ccmman der had demoralized the whole tore**. He predicted that Bragg would find his posi tion untenable unless he fought another battle, while he doubted the possibility of a commander eo little assured of hearty support making tbe bold movement the circumstances required. His prediction has been fully vended. Bragg has given up the ground gained by one of the most sanguinary engagements of the war. If he retires a few miles further to the south, he must re-cross the frontier of Tenocspee into Georgia. Bjth sides have been re ceiving reinforcements during the last Bix weeks though no authentic Bta’ement of the numerical s'ivogih of tbe two armieß hftß appeared. The southern army, how ever, seem? to b c en for some time fatally weakened by distrust and dislike of its commander. The moralt of the troops cf all rantc was t-hakeD, and even if they escape a decisive defeat in the field, it is probable that for the confeder ates the auiumn campaign in tb£ West will prove disastrous. ye&ri ar.d months Funeral from tho nvilooeci-f h> parents u ■Jatsiani on Phurstsy rnornitr. at 10 oV ock, t< proceed to the CemeM-ry.
