rroS.-There are said 60 be ct this time thou
sands OF deserters from tha Union army in
Canada, and II W judge from representations
made to us, a majority Of them are willing TO
furnish acceptable substitutes to fill their
places II the War Department is willing 70
grant their discharge from service and allow
them to return TO the States and take their
chances in the draft IL is estimated that
there are at least iity thousand deserters from
our army. Supposing one-half or even one
third, should furnish substitutes, would it not
place heavy corps directly in the field? We
gain nothing now by debarring deserters OF
this privilege, while, on the contrary, u IL were
extended them he Union army would be
greatly Increased. Deserters in Canada do us
no good, and by allowing them their discharge
aud their rcturo 10 the States, under tie sub
sttuto process, we would be assured one man,
and the chance Of two by the probable drafting
OF the one furnishing the substitute. The War
Department would do well to sivs this matter

Carolina recently put up Mr. Holden Is their
candidate for Governor, with the declaration
that if elected he should call for the election

OF Withdrawing North Carolina from the con
federacy OF Davis, in view OF treaty OF peace
on her own account.
This was a bold movement. and too full OF
danger to Davis and his confederacy TO be to-
Grated. lie accordingly took The Governors
election into his own hands, aud by terror n
controlled It. Governor Vance, frat elected
as Union conservative, was manipulated aud
frightened TO run against Holden, as The candi-
date OF Davis, and has thus been reelected.
Bot the Ncwbern N. Gu Times says the Holden
men have q majority IN the Legislature, and
that in the extreme western counties Holden
obtained some heavy msiorities; but that their
vote was thrown out on the ground Of disloya-

TERRIBLE TINES EXPECTED AT CHICAGO
We may expect lively times, if not bloodshed,
at the approaching Chicago Convention. The
city is already in turbulent condition, and,
according to the reports in it's newspapers, it
is daily and nightly the scene of personal and
fatal rencontres and riots Of a bloody charac-
ter. The immense mass of people who will
assemble there between the 9th and 29th
| instant, with all tie excited feelings of n
heated political canvass actuating them, will
add intensity to the existing unhealthy feeling,
. and innumerable fights, il not riots, culmi-
mating POSSIBLY in revolutionary movements
Of potent nature, may ensue. Fernando
Wood will be there, with his revolutionary
characteristics, Just as he was at the Charles
ton Convention in 1850. At Charles on he
went. against Douglas, broke up the demo-
cratic party, eiacted Lincoln, and produced
the present gigantic attempt at revolution by
the South. At Chicago he will resume his
evil works, oppose the popular candidate.
whoever he may be-, just as he opposed
Dounlas and, by creating another split among
the democracv, succeed in re-electing Lincoln
for another tern. But there is danger that
his schemes viii not be as tamely submitted
to by the majority of the Chicago Convention
and their friends as they were at Charleston.
The Chicago authorities had, therefore, better
double their police ana call for regiment Of
United States soldiers, to preserve the peace
in the critical days beginning with the 27h,
and ending with the Goth, inclusive, Of the
present month

PEACE PARTY TAcncs.-Mr. A. G. Comstock
publishes a letter in the World yesterday, in
which be denounces the fraud Of the following
notice, published throughout the State:-
The delegation 10 the Chica Conyention appointed by
the great mass Peace Convepton which assembled at
Syracuse August 49, will meet at the Sherman House,
Chicago At eight on saturday, 27th inst. Punctual
&c. oNDERDoNK, Chairman.
sAMuxL I. sUrr. Secretary.
Mr. Comstock asserts, as we proved the other
day, that there were no delegates to Chicago
appointed by the Syracuse Convention. The
resolution authorizing such delegation was
almost unanimously voted down. The Daily
Nesos has deliberately misrepresented these
facts in order to mislead its readers. The
Woods were beaten completely out of sight at
their own mass meeting, just as they always
will be when they allow the people to have q
voice in their own affairs. The Syracuse concern
appointed no Chicago delegates whatever, and
any delegation pretending to come from that
mass meeting will be bogus, as most peace
delegations are.
In the meantime our exposures of the tricks
OF the peace men are having the desired effect
The democratic papers, great and small, are
turning against them. Even the World says
that "if these fellows show themselves at Chi
cago they will be treated as emissaries of Lin
coin, as they are, and will be kicked into the
first gutter" This language is not elegant;
but it shows that our pricking Of the peace
party humbug has not been in vain. Any man
of common sense knows that the Daily Ne,es
would not be allowed to discourage enlist
ments, interfere with recruiting, slander Gene
raj Grant, extol General Lee, and reprint all
the vilest utterances of the rebel press in the
manner it now does daily, If there were not
bargain between Lincoln and the Woods. And
every democrat knows that those Peter Funks
who make bargains with Lincoln and wish to
break up the democratic party can have no
legitimate business at Chicago. The whole
thing is in nutshell and We are glad to see
that the democratic leaders and papers are be-
ginning to comprehend it.
