The day for the city election is drawing
near. As yet nc one is agreed on among
the Uaion meu as a candidate for May Or.-
Indeed the matter has hardly been mooted
except among very few We have heard
the names of Messrs. Robert Craugle, L. S.
DelapIain aud Henry K List suggested in
connection with the position. Any one of
those gentlemen would make an excel ent
candidate, aud any one of them could be
elected by large majority.
We speak of the election in general
way to-day because it is time that some
understanding was had. The new system
of voting by ballot insnres Union tri-
umph in the city with the least effort at all
among loyal citizens. That fact was we'll
shown last May. People vote their senti-
ments in this community now, thing they
never used to do.
1t is time that Union men were giving
some attention to the city election.

Is VIEW of the narrow escape of Gen.
A1erili end his comrades from capture
during their recent raid, as we'll as 10 view
of the hardships suffered and the losses
sustained, it may well be doubted whether
the expedition paid in any proper sense of
the word. Hnd he and his men been cap
tured, it is easy to see that it would have
been anything else than paying enter
prise. That they were not captured must
be considered more of alucky chance than
anything else. Great credit is certainly
due the General and his brave followers
for the daring and skill with which they
undertook and carried out the expedition.
At the same time we cannot see the sde.
quate results of such tremendous risk as
they ran and such terrible bardships as
they. endured. The President of the
Virginia and Tennessee road gives no.
tice that the road is again 10 order and
that cara are again running. His card
shows that the damage done to the rebel
connections with Longsireet must have
been very slight. Again, the Richmond
papers assure us that the amount of prop
erty destroyed was far below the amount
reported at Washington. Instead of hun
dreds OF thousands of bushels OF grain, we
have only tens of thousands. Instead OF
thousands of barrels of -four we have only
hundreds. Audiu like manner do the fig
ures dwindle in respect to salt and pork,
aud other property destroyed. We take
the figures reported on both sides with
their proper allowance, aud after adjusting
them on a probable basis, we must con
fess that we do not see any great remuner-
alton from the enterprise.
There is this view, however, to be taken
and OF its value only those in the secret
can judge, viz-tbe temporary stoppage Of
reinforcements to Longstreet both in meu
and supplies the moral effect on the rebel.
generally and on our own people generally;
the diversion from other threatened points
For ourselves we do not incline to any grea
estimate of effects produced in any OF these
respects, but in this we may be mistaken
We look upon the risk run as too great fol
the probable results, certainly too much
for the actual results. Had Gen. Averill'r
command been captured it would hav,
been heavy loss to Gen. Kelly's depart
ment, and would have opened a serious gal
on our frontier to new rebel incursious. :
Such chosen body of meu eau not be ion
minently exposed except for grave consid.
erations.
We make these remarks in no spirit O
misrepresentation Of the most remarkable
raid of the war. We have the highes
appreciation Oft courage, endurance aut
energy of those engaged in it. All homo
to them. But we fear to see such a thing
repeated while the military status remain
as it is. We have now had the wythevIIl,
adventure aud the Salem adveuture-th
former dead failure, and the latter barrer
of any results commensurate with the grea
risk, greatsuHering, and, we may add, very
considerable losses sustained.

WE hear OF the sudden movements of
troops iu ibis Department. 1t is believed
that the rebels design another attempt on
the Baltimore road, probably as set.Off
to the Avestll raid, They were reported
not great way off from certain point at
the close of last week, aud in considerable
force, too. 1t is conjeelured by thOsewhO
ought to know, that the rebels intend to
employ portion OF their leisure time this
winter in demonstrations against the road.
P.S. Our Ielegraphic advices last night
show that our pickets near Winchester
have been driven in. So that the rebels
are that near at least to the Baltimore
road.
