CANDIDATES ron CoNGREss-Many OF the Con.
gressional conventions 10 this city appear to
have considerable trouble in making their
nominations. In several districts the nomiaa-
tons still hang fire, while In two or three
instances those who have been placed in the
field are only for temporary purposes. II is
intended, at no distant day, to withdraw them
and nominate some one else in their place.
The Developments, however, have pretty well
established the fact that the general sentiment
of the city is opposed TO the reelection OF any
Of the present representatives from this city.
Their Jiasco during the last session has caused
the people generally to look upon them as
failures Of the worst kind. We trust that oil
parties will follow this up by presenting men
for the suffrsges Of the people in every way
qualified and worthy to represent the city.
We want no sticks to disgrace this metropolis
in Congress during revolutionary times like
the present We want men who can not only
speak but comprehend the vast interests Of
this commercial metropolis.

HoNoRING THE PATRIors.-The democracy Of
the Fifth Congressional district in this State
have nominated Gen. Nelson Taylor, one Of the
officers Of Sicklcs' division for Congress. lie
has rendered valuable service TO the country
when it was Of practical value. The same
party have nominated Col. Andrew J. McNe.t
in the Twenty-seventh district-an officer who
has tested his vaor in every battle with Gen.
Sherman, from Chattanooga to Atlanta, losing
an arm at the latter place. In the Twenty
ninth district the democracy have nominated
the gallant Col. James Mcclellan Willet., who
sealed his patriotism in some of the first battles
around Richmond under Graut receiving
severe woand at Coal Harbor. Several other
soldiers, many Of them crippled while in the
front ranks Of the battle have been nominated
for Assembly and county officers by the same
party in different sections OF the State. The
republicans have nominated COL John H.
Ketcham, who is now serving with General
Sherman in Georgia, for Congress. in the
Twelfth district, and Col. Theodore 3. Gates in
the Thirteenth Congressional district. Thus
we find the gallant and patriotic men who have
left their homes and friends, taken their lives in
tier own hands and placed them upon the altar
OF their country, remembered aud honored at
home They have wrestled with the enemies
OF their country when the battle ragged the
fercest aud steel met steel. The people will
rejoice to see them thus remembered. Let the
citizens when they come to the ballot box vote
to give them the seat Of hon or-thcy have
earned it.

TIE PA:,,sAN Press AND THE Two DurcH-
MEN.-Thc revolutionary partisan journals of
this city devoted considerable space yesterday
to two garrulous documents. The republican
side dlshcd up wordy speech of General
Carl Schurz, the hero Of the runaway troops at
Charlottesville under Hooker The speech is
regular TRADE ABOUT the negro. Scburz
proved himself all absorbed about the Niger
a person would think that he never thought OF
anything else; that he sleeps with the nigger,
eats with the niger, has niger dreams, ngger
appetite, niger tastes, niger affinity, and is
colored all over. with the nigger. This is
probably what allied him when he skcdaddled
at Charlottesville. The other side spread out
with great gusto long wnded manifesto from
August Belmont. This apostle of the Chicago
Convention sees in tho suppression Of an un-
Leard of paper in Baltimore by the blockhead
general in command there, also in the test oath
OF Johnson, the dandy of Tennessee, who as
pires to the Vice Presidency, sufficient canse
Ior the people to inaugurate a revolution as

TIE DEsERrIoN IN TUE REBEL ARMY JEFF.
Davis, in his late speech at Macon, complained
that two-thrds Of his army were absent from
duty, and many Of them without leave. No
doubt this is true, and the main reason for this
temporary If not absolute desertion may be set
down to disafTection to the rebel cause and
despair OF its success. But we have clue to
another reason for the unauthorized absence
Of the rebel soldiers, furnished by an or
der from Gen. Hood on struggling, In which
he states that fully two.thirds Of the men
who abandoned him on his march from At
lanta did SO not from fatigue by marching,
but for the purpose Of robbing their rebel
friends--farmers and others--as they went
along; in short, to get something to eat The
fact is that In the absence Of an efficient COM
mssarlat the rebel soldiers, not only in Hoods
army, but all over the South, are compelled to
provide for themselves or starvs. So disor.
ganzed and demoralizod have they become
