We have had the pleasure of beiog in at tendance upon two meetings of the new Board of Aldarme » since thtir inauguration, and; find them all anxious to dispose of business without the usual adenda of buaoombqspeeches. Having our seat, outside of (he bar amongst the balance of the lobby members, w® have had some little oppoitunry of studying the strength of the new Board. That it has a good share of braiu, none can deny, and a good share of pm* donee snd caution. Prominent amongst its members, are Colonel John Quin, of the sth Ward, and Judge J. J. M -Kendroe of th« Ist Ward ; both of whom have become veterans in the service of the city. The very best uoamsec tary upon their past services is the faot that none can beat them in their Wards. Having a thorough knowledge of the affaiis of the city as well as being largely interested pecuniarily, they are not apt lo go off half oooked, upon any new issues which may spring upon them. The other members of the Board, if wo except the solid captain oi tike Muscogee Railroad, are young members, from the' people, working for the laurel wreath, awaiting the attentive and industrious Aldermen. The King sits quietly listening to thejiparkling discussions, and profound propo sitions from the first, while on his left sits he who will see that all things are done at) Brown . Bat little has his oolhague of the fourth to say hut peering over his spectacles, one ean but ob - serve, that no idle faney can lead him into the general whirlpool of popular clamor. Like other bodies, and along side the veteran ot the fourth aits a Salisbury , net a Lord, but one upon Whose brow, sitsphinnest and even-handed jus tice. No double dealing finds a seat in that head.

ARMY i ©RIUSSFOWDEMrCE OF THE SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN. Sketches »f Office r* of the Army of Tcuueetee. GENERAL BRAGG. Thompson, Ga,, Dec. 36 h. 1863. Taking ifiu Generals in the Artuv of Tennessee in the order of their rank, I would remark that General Braxton Bragg, the late commander-in-chief, was born in the good old State ol North Carolina, about the year 1815, and i® consequently about lorty-eig it years -,f pge. He entered the West Point Academy in 1833, in the same claws with Major General W II T Walker, of Georgia, between whom and himselt j there has ever existed mutual friendship : and confidence The country is familiar with General Bragg’s career in Mexico, and with the distinguished services he rendered during the war with that country as an artillerist. Some time after the war and during Mr Pierce’s administration, he re i signed his commission in the army on ac count of some ruling by Mr Davis, the Secretary of War, and retired to hie plat * tiition m Mississippi. When the present war broke out, it. found | Gen Biagg engaged in ihe peaceful and j enoblmg pursuits of the planter, lie had i married after the •■r-xicau war, and was | the possessor of out o the fluent estates in ihe Southwest. Soon a iter his inaugura tion as President of tbs Provisional Gov ernment, Mr .Davis, overlooking past differ* ences, offered him the commiaHion of Brig adier Gen ral in the Provisional Army, which lie accepted without a moment’a ! hesitation. Tue i~ci here recorded is, creditable nhke to the Pf-aidioit and hie | n6 w Brica.dier, since it shows that neither of the c would allow private feeling to blami in the way of public duty. It prove', moreover, *int the President was not influ- . ! enced by motives oi personal friendship m | his support of General Bragg as the corns i mander of one of our most important ar- I naie-. It will net be inappropriate to add j in this connection, lhat 'he reports perslst | ently circulated to the effect that these two j eminent personages are related to each j oilier by blood “r 'Carriage, is without the j !ea*t foundation in fact. Their relations j are friendly and agreeable, but nothing I more. General Braga was assigned to the com mand of the forces at Pensacola, where he. remained until the Spring o! 1862, and then was order* a to Tennessee, a,.d finally to | Corinth 1 n the great ba tie of Stuloh, ! fought ou the 6 n and 7*h o'; Anni m that ysar, he and Harder 1 and fVik commanded the three lilies wbh which the <,raiy ad vanced to the &?s«gU, and -sch ou* greatly distinguished himseii ou diar field.

Subsequent* it, upon the svseuaiion of Corinth and the of Gr ssra! tfce co**j- For Three Months, SB maud of the army was turned over to Gea Bragg. But it ia not of Gen Bragg’e career so much as of his military character and qual ifications, that I propose to apeak. Look ing at him in this light, therefore, be may be fuliy and correctly described in the five following words: he is simply a soldier.— It is not meant to be asserted that he is not a gentleman of intelligence and culture, of polished manners in general society—for he is all this—but what I mean to affirm is that when he is at the head of an army, his whole being and character seem to be ab sorbed and merged in that ofthe soldier.— He is destitute of diolomacy, and knows neither friends nor toes in the discharge oi his duties. If one oi his officers has bee# taken from civil life where he occupied a lariie space in public estimation, as in th# case of General Breckiruidge, he shows him precisely the same consideration a* he does the least distinguished of his subal terns who has won his way with his sword to the same position—neither more nor less. He expects the one to know his place and obey his orders as implicitly as the other. That this stern military rule is founded in absiract justice, if not in wisdom, no one can deny, and yat, it with his earnest, per* haps austere manners, when occupied with business, has had the effect to render him unpopular with some of "his officers, who, lu their return have innoculated the aubors dinate officers in their respective commands wnh somewhat of their own teehngs and opinions. It is said, but with what truth I am not prepared to decide, that for some* time past Gen B. has been more conciliato ry in his bearing towards persons having business to trausact with him. Be this aa it may, it is certain that he ha 6 never turned aside irom h's duties in the field to court the favor of the public. He is the hardest worker I have met with in the Confederate army. Day and night, in sunshine and is fciorna, in cold weather and in hot, he ie ever at his post; and he allows no pleasure, however tempting, and in no society, how ever charming, to take him away from his duty. He not only works himself, but re quires every one about him to work. Hfe Staff officers, like himself, know not what i| ia to enjoy a day of relaxation. I havo thought that he remains too closely at hid quarters, and that it would be better for hit health and for the good ot the array if he would inspect hia line* oftener and see and judge for himself. Os his capacity fur command I need not atop to speak: the world will judge him by his oam* paigns rather than by anything I might say. As an organiser of forces and an administrative officer, he ranks deservedly high. There are as better soldierg in the whole d®my than his Pe#« sacola troops, of whioh he had the exclusive train ing and disciplining. He possesses unusual quickness and oapaoity of business, and is a man oi ardent patriotism and undoubted cQurage. If he did no: seek death in the iate battle on Mis* sionary Ridge, he was certainly indifferent to it. He is a member of the Episcopal church, and i# privaio life his habits at a as exemplary as those of any Christian gentleman in all the land. Hi§ loss of property has been very heavy, the enemy having taken everything he possessed except hi® land, and duven his wife from her home wlt& only the clothing in which she stood. black eyes, iron gray hair, and heavy eyebrow# that meet above the nose and impart to his fagft an aspect of much austerity. His stern manueis, unsociable habits and de> votion to business, have rendered him uupopd ular with many oi his superior officers, while his negect ot those arts by which ambitious men arc wont to win popular applause, ha® had much to I do m shaping public opinio# against him, in ihat it leit his opponents tre# to say and publish wbat they pleated concern ing hun. As & disciplinarian, be is very rigid, and has probably hal as many executed as any two commanders in the army; and yet he is ta§ more popular with his soldiers than those iut higher positions. Asa strategist and fighter, hit friends may well point to the battle of Cftickav niauga and the ojwraiioa which preceded it; an' 4 ! yet in a contest before the people through the public prints, the most commonplace of bispa* lit leal generals is more thin a match for him. When Hen Bragg was about to relinquish the command of the Army of Tennessee, I calico, as others till to bid him adieu.
