The official despatches of General Grant rela” tive to the late battle at Corinth confirm the news which we published yesterday. They are dated from Jackson, Tenn., on Sanday, and repre- sent that, at that time, a large portion of General Rosecrans’ forces had advanced as far as Chevalla, in pursuit of the flying enemy. General Hurlbut was at the Hatchie river, following them with 5,000 men, and General Ord had met them on the south bank of the Hatchie, drove them across the stream, taking two batteries and two hundred prisoners, and obtaining possession of the heights on the other side. Gencral Grant says that as things then looked he could not see any escape for the enemy without losing everything but their small arms. Scouts from General Sigel’s army made a recon- Moissance to Thoroughfare Gap yesterday, and brought in some prisoners, who report that the rebel army is falling back on Richmond, and that General Longstreet has already gone there. There ‘Was another expedition of our scouts to New- market and Gainesville, at which latter place they captured a rebel scouting party of Mississippians under Lieutenant Roberts. We give to-day a full and highly interesting ac- count of all the incidents of the President's visit to General McClellan's army, the grand review of the troops, and his interview with the Commanding General. A visit to the battle field of Antietam is finely described, and will give our readers some vivid conception of the sanguinary nature of that battle. Advices received from Greenville, Missouri, State that the Texan rebel forces under Genera, McBride, 2,000 strong, have been ordered back to ‘Texas in consequence of Union victories gained at Marshal, Texas, and Shreveport, Louisiana. These victories were probably won by the Union troops ‘who were reported as having gone up the Red river from Helena some time since. The rebels in Kentucky seem to be breaking down. They evacuated Frankfort on Saturday, after inaugurating Mr. Richard Hawes Governor. ‘They left their wounded and sick behind them On Suaday the Union pickets were at Hardins- vile, advancing on Frankfort. Our extracts from the Richmond papers to-day are peculiarly interesting, showing the sentiment Of the South concerning the emancipation procla- Mation. The rebel Congress introduced resolu- tions of a very savage retaliatory nature, declaring that after the Ist of January, 1863, all officers and non-commissioned officers found invading the Con- federate States should be treated as criminals, and pot to hard labor until the end of the war, or the repeal of the Confiscation act. All such officers as may command, or train negroes or mulattoes for military service against the Confederacy or incite them to rebel- lion shall suffer death. Other pains and penalties are prescribed for different acts of our officers, and a war of extermination, in which the rules of civilized warfare are to be ignored, is proclaimed. These resolutions were read in the Senate, and not yet voted upon. In the House the spirit Qvinced was still more bitter, Mr. Lyons, of Vir- jinia, imtroducing, @ resolution exhorting 3: people of the Confederacy to kill @rery officer, eoldier and sailor of the enemy found within their borders, unless a regular prisoner of war; declaring that after the Ist of January, 1863, no officer of the enemy ought to be eaptared alive, or if recaptured should be imme- diately hung; and offering a bounty of twenty dol- Jars and an annuity of twenty dollars for life to every slave and free negro who shall, after the Ist of January, 1863, kill one of the enemy, The Virginia Legislature resolved to grant im- munity to any person who may kill any parties found on the sacred soil, armed or unarmed, aiding to carry out the ‘fiendish purposes” of the pro clamation. The Richmond Enquirer and Examiner of Sa- turday prophecy @ general engagement between the two armics immediately. The former says that a large force of our troops is at Martinsburg, with the left extending to Harper's Ferry. Gene- ral Lee, with a strong force, was rapidly moving towards Martinsburg, and there was every proba- dility that a desperate battle was about to be fought. ‘‘Persons of intelligence from Winchester tate that McClellan cannot avoid an engagement unless he withdraws his army across the river— BB move which it is next to impossible for him to , ae he was evidently being urged forward by Yankee administration and the clamors of the )pbolitionists. For him to retreat now, in the face af an enemy who had thrown down the gauntlet ae oo to him, would tend almost as much to demoralize his army as would a defeat." The Eraminer says that we are on the eve of & great battle in the vicinity of the Potomac. It re- ports that the Unionist she Wed Charlestown and then took possession of it, and that our main force has crossed at Harper's Ferry, General Geary occupying Loudon Heights. The Enquirer is prepared for another long cam- paign, and declares that the people and govern- ment of the South “‘are all conscious of the giant preparations which Lincoln is making. His vast drafts of men are not all, His ship- yards are all busy, and gunboats of heavy draught and of light draught, cased in iron armor, and fitted up with all the art of war all the appliances of ingenuity, are being constructed in great numbers.’’ And it continues:—‘‘We must prepare for these gunboats, not by flippantly sneer” ing at gunboat panics—that would be,very unwise; not by timid apprehensious of inability to resist them—that would be very unwise also; but we must prepare defences on our rivers and obstruc- tions in their channels. We must try all the vitues of sharpshooters on the banks, and the sub-aqueou® batteries in the stream."’ MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The General Triennial Episcopal Convention met yesterday—fifth day. The principal subject of de~ bate was on the expulsion of Bishop Leonidas Polk, of the Southern army. After a warm debate the whole subject was referred to the Committee on the Rebellion, consisting of nine members of the Convention. The Board of Aldermen met again yesterday, and by a vote of eleven to five rejected the nomi. nation of John Austin Stevens fo: reet Commis- sioner, which had been sent in by the Mayor. By the Comptroller’s return it appears there was a balance of $6 2 in the treasury on the 4th iast. The Board transacted some routine business, and ‘n adjourned to meet at one o'clock on Wednes- In the Board of Councilmen last evening a resolution was offered that the sum of $500 be appropriated to purchase a sword, sash and belt for Captain John Downey. The resolution was laid over. A special committee was appointed to make a minute survey of the forts protecting the harbor of New York and present a report on that subject to the Board of Councilmen. The resolution to appropriate the sum of $6,500 to defray the expenses incurred by the reception of Brigadier General Corcoran and Captain John Downey was finally adopted. The resolution to make the Staats Zeitung a Corpora- tion paper, notwithstanding the veto of his Honor the Mayor, was again brought up, and, after a lengthy debate, was again laid over. The Board then adjourned until Thursday afternoon next, at five o'clock. The Street Department Investigating Committee held an adjourned meeting at two o'clock yester- day afternoon, to resume the inquiry into the re- moval of Messrs. Knapp and Tappan. Aldermen Chipp and Dayton were examined, but nothing was elicited beyond the fact that they did not vote for the resolutions removing the parties in ques- tion. The committee then adjourned at the call of the chair. . The Tammany Hall and Mozart democratic committees have agreed upon a plan of action for the coming election, on the basis of an equal division of Congressmen and Assemblymen, the odd Assemblyman to be drawn, while of the county offices Mozart takes the Surrogate and Tammany the Supervisor. In the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, the trial of Mrs. Real, charged with the murder of her husband, was set down for to-morrow. Argu- ment was heard on a motion to quash the imdict’ ment in the case of Samuel Hallett, charged with selling forged bonds of the State of Indiana. The Court (Judge Barnard) took the papers, and re- served ita decision as to the points raised. The October term of the Court of General Ses- sions commenced yesterday, Recorder Hoffman presiding. In his charge to the Grand Jury he stated that from time to time he had received communications from citizens of high standing in reference to the freedom sometimes talsen on the public platform and by the public press with the name and reputation of citizens occupying high civil and military positions; but he thought ques- tions of that nature had better be left to the ros- trum, the pulpit and the press, which, together with the good sense of the public, would in time serve to correct abuses of that nature without any interference on the part of the judiciary. Coroner Wildey commenced yesterday an inves- tigation into the circumstances attending the death of John Donnelly, who was killed in an aftray with some negroes on Sunday morning at the corner of Houston street and avenue B. Se- yeral witnesses were examined; but, without con- cluding the case, the inquest was adjourned till this evening. The drafted men in the war of 1812-4 were required to furnish their own guns and equipments and five days provisions. The prices for substitutes then ranged between forty and one hundred dol- lars. The government bounty to recruits for the old regiments and volunteers to all new regiments or- ganized previous to September 15 still continues. According to the City Inspector's report, there were 370 deaths in the city during the past week— adecrease of 40 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 28 less than occurred during the corresponding week last year. The re- capitulation table gives 2 deaths of diseases of the bones, joints, &c.; 65 of the brain and nerves, 4 of the generative organs, 14 of the heart and blood vessels, 126 of the lungs, throat, &c.; 4 of old age, 8 of diseases of the skin and eruptive fevers, 4 premature births, 84 of diseases of the stomach, bowels and other digestive organs; 33 of uncer- tain seat and general fevers, 4 unknown, 6 of diseases of the urinary organs, and 16 from vio- lent causes. There were 248 natives of the United States, 6 of England, 75 of Ireland, 27 of Germany, and the balance of various foreign countries. Stocks were again very active and generally higher yesterday, the principal advance being in Pacific Ma, which rose 43g per cent, and in Illinois Central, which rose 3 per cent, Cumberland also was active, at an advance of 8 per cent. Other railway shares rose 1 a 1}, In the afternoon there was rather a reaction in the Eries, Ilinois Central, New York Central, &c.; but the market siosed very firm at the quotations, Money was in better supply than on Saturday; loans were quoted 4 a 5 per cent. Gold rose to 12334; exchange to 136% a 136. The banks show an increase of $4,896,007 in loans, $738,035 in Specie and $4,652,919 in deposits. ‘The cotton market was quiet yesterday, and sales con- fined to 30€ 0 400 bales, closing nominally at 5éc. a 6c for middling uplands. The flour market was firmer and tolerably active, the ehief demand being from the home trade. Common and medium grades advanced from 5c. a 10c, per barrel. Wheat opened firm, but grew less buoy- aut, and closed at @ decline of about 1c. per bushel, while the market was active at the cencessien, Corn was steady, and prices firm for good sound Western mixed, with sales at 69c, a 60. Pork was more active, and rather firmer, with sales at $f 75 a $11 8714, chiefly at the inside figure, and at $1025 a $10 3714 for prime. Lard was active and firm at 9%¢. a 10c. Sugars were firm, with sales of 800 hhds, and 3,000 bags. Coffee ad- vanced full 1¢, a 2e. per Ib., while the market was quite active. The sales embraced several cargoes, comprising bout 13,500 bags of Rio, about 6,500 of which were mado at p. t. A portion, it was said, was bought on account of 1» agent of the French government for the army in Vexico, The remainder was sold within the range of 20\ec.a ye. Freighte were rather firmer, while eu gigements were made to a moderate extent. NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1662. The Prestdent’s Visit te General McCle!- lan’s Army—The Impending and Final Campaign. President Lincoln's late visit to the army of General MoClellan is an incident the import- ance of which, we are entirely confident, will soon be made manifest in the grandest military movements and Union victories. It was neither holiday recreation nor idle curiosity that took the President on this excursion, but the all- absorbing business of this war. His mission was to see for himself the condition and strength of McClellan’s army, and its efficiency for the immediate resumption of active opera- tions. Having satisfied himself upon these points, and having freely instructed General McClellan in regard to the new campaign about to be inaugurated, and the part therein which he is expected to perform, the President has returned to the White House, and General McClellan will promptly proceed to execute the important task assigned him. With his army reinvigorated by this late in- terval of pleasant weather and much needed rest, and immensely strengthened by reinforce- ments, and amply supplied with subsistence and munitions of war, General McClellan may be expested at any moment to advance upon the enemy. We may safely promise, too, that if, with his hastily collected, severely taxed, rapidly marched and much inferior forces in point of numbers, he was still able to beat, to put to flight and drive out of Maryland the vast and insolent rebel army of General Lee, the remains of that army will soon be driven from the Shenandoah valley, from the country east of the Blue Ridge, from Richmond and out of Virginia into the woods of North Carolina. We have absolute confidence in these results; for while the army of Lee, defeated, cut up, demoralized, in rags and upon half rations, is much weaker now in every respect than it was when it entered Maryland, the army of General McClellan, in every way, is immensely stronger than it was at Antietam. From Manassas across to Winchester the rebel recruiting sergeants have been scouring the country aad running down their conscripts like rabbits and foxes; but these reinforcements will not save the army of Lee. It will surely be beaten, captured, dispersed or driven out of Virginia. At the same time the army of General Buell, in Kentucky, is encompassing that of the re- doubtable Bragg; and, looking simply at the question of numbers, there can be no question of the result. The rebels will be expelled from Kentucky, and they must consider well their line of retreat, or in their flight they will be intercepted by the victorious army of Gene- ral Grant. Nor have we any doubt that Hind- man, Rains and Company, who are threatening to march upon St. Lou's with a rebel column of forty thousand men, will be driven out of Mis- souri and Arkansas before Christmas. In a word, 80 complete and so overwhelming are the Union armies which are now moving against the rebels, from the Potomac to the west side of the Mississippi, that we may expect this rebellion to be crushed and the war virtu- ally ended before the expiration of the present year. Such are doubtless the hopes and calculations of President Lincoln. He has every reason to expect that within sixty days the armed forces of the rebellion will be* swept from Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, and that then the cotton States, with our victorious armies enter- ing their northern counties, and with our iron- clad gunboats invading them from the seaboard, will make a virtue of necessity, and surrender to the Union to escape the perils of a sweeping emancipation of their slaves. This is the end de- sired and contemplated by President Lincoln’s late proclamation—the salvation of our revolt- ed States, and not their destruction—the resto- ration of the Union, and not the bloody over- throw of Southern slavery. s Our vindictive and remorseless abolition dis-' organizers have their fears, too, that this war may be pushed so far that the cotton States, to save their local institutions, may submit and be restored to the Union, and that thus the eman- cipation proclamation, having served its pur- pose as a military act, may become a dead letter before the time appointed for its enforcement. Under these apprebensions, our abolition leaders, managers and orgaus have been lately doing their utmost to displace our principal generals and to create dissensions between them. But they have failed not only in regard to General Buell, but in all their de- vices against General McClellan and General Halleck. Each of these officers stands to-day higher in the confidence of the President than ever heretofore, and all are working in perfect accord with each other. Best of all, having discovered from experience that the discordant Presidential elements and cliques identified with his present Cabinet are not to be trusted, President Lincoln himself is now the administration. He judges for himself, acts upon his own counsels, and is conducting the war in every department as a unit, and with the great end in view of saving our rebellious States by speedily convincing them of the ruin- ous consequences of further resistance. Thus, sustaining the steadfast patriotism, consistency and sound discretion of President Lincoln, we predict that the Ist of January, so far from in- augurating an abolition crusade, will proclaim the suspension of that military measure of last resort, in view of the substantial suppression of the rebellion. Tue Two Canpipates vor State Governor.— Both these gentlemen go earnestly for the war, and in that respect they stand upon the same footing. Personally we prefer Wadsworth to Seymour. We think he is more outspoken and more direct in his views than his opponent, who seeks to attain his object by indirection. Bat Wadsworth’s ideas about slavery are fanatical and absurd. He thinks the abolition of slavery would put down the rebellion. Nothing can be farther from common sense. It would, as Mr. Lincoln declared, have no more effect upon the rebellion than the Pope’s bull against the comet. Mr. Wadsworth says that the proclamation will not produce servile insurrection. Consequently it cannot give any aid in putting down the rebel- lion. The rebellion must be first put down before the government has any power to dispose of slavery in the rebellious States; and after the insurrection is put down the government will have nothing further to do with the business, ‘We will then have a constitution, and that will settle it. Till the rebellion is crushed by the sword it is idle to talk of what is to be done with slavery. Let us do one thing ot a time. Mr. Wadsworth has discovered that by preventing the slaves from working for the rebels we will use them up. Very true, pro- vided we can prevent them. But to do so we tquat first conquer the rebels, Mr. Wadsworth evidently puts the wagon before the horses. A still more palpable blunder is made by the candidate of the radicals when he contends that “a great increase of trade to the Northern States and to the whole commercial world, and a vast increase in the production of the great Southern staples,” would result from emanci- pation. It is just the reverse. It would cause a vast decrease in both; for if the negroes would not work at all, if they were emancipated, Southern staples would be fearfully reduced, and the trade to the Northern States and to the whole commereial world would almost cease to exist. Emancipation would be destructive to the blacks, to South and North, and to the rest of mankind. Wadsworth’s visionary ideas are quite in keeping with the sentiments of the faction to which he belongs. Wapsworty’s LerrerR or AccePrance.—The letter of Gen. Wadsworth to the Hon. Henry J. Raymond, President of the Republican State Nominating Convention, was published in our columns yesterday, and is a very good letter of acceptance. "It presents no particular point worthy of criticism, except that its political economy is altogether mistaken. Gen. Wads- worth thinks, for instance, that freeing all the negroes in the South would cheapen cotton ; when the experience of emancipation in the West Indies has shown conclusively that free negroes in a warm climate will not work except to gain enough food and clothing to supply their physical wants. This is a mere specula- tive and theoretical matter, however, as all the negroes in the South are not likely to be freed, at least in this generation. In regard to the,war, Gen. Wadsworth’s ideas, as expressed in this letter, coincide with our own, as repeatedly expressed in the HEral.p Like us, he understands “ that the election will turn upon the necessity of sustaining our na” tional government in its efforts to uphold itself and maintain its territoral integrity, and especi ally upon the proclamation of the President issued to that end.” Certainly this war is for the maintenance and integrity of the Union and certainly the President’s proclamation is a military measure designed to assist us in con- cluding the war. Every loyal democrat under- stands that; Gov. Seymour stands upon pre- cisely that platform. It is only Greeley and his radicals who believe that the war is for abolition, and that, therefore, the proclamation has concluded the war, and all we have to do is to rest on our arms and wait for the Ist of January. Again, we agree cordially with Gen. Wads- worth when he says:—“This great domain, from the lakes to the gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, one country, governed by one idea— freedom—is yet destined to dictate terms, if need be, to the world in arms, and I hold that man to be a traitor and a coward who, under any defeats, any pressure of adversity however great, any calamities however dire, would give up oneacre of it.” Gov. Seymour and every other loyal democrat heartily endorse that, because it is true, and because it is a very severe cut at poor Greeley and his radicals, who have been and are now willing to let the cotton States go if slavery will go with them, and who are trying to block the wheels of the war until the Ist of January, careless what becomes of the Union so that the negro is freed. Traitors and cowards, are they? We thank thee, Wads- worth, for giving us that word. All loyal de- mocrats, like Wadsworth and Seymour, are for a vigorous war, to be victoriously ended before the 1st of January, careless what becomes of slavery so that they save the Union. They, therefore, are heroes and patriots. Unfortunately, General Wadsworth has at- tached himself to the radicals, and must be bound by their principles; otherwise, judging from this letter, he would have made a ve tolerable sort of a candidate. He but repeal our praises when he says that “it will long be remembered, to the great honor of the mer- chants, bankers and manufacturers of the North, that,giving the lie to the calumnies of slavebreeding aristocrats, who charge them with being degraded and controlled by the petty profits of traflic, they have met the nu- merous sacrifices of this great struggle with a cheerfulness and promptness of which history furnishes no parallel.” But most of these finan- cial men who have so generously, liberally and patriotically contributed to carry on this war are democrats ; and these very gentlemen whom Wadsworth eulogizes he will be com- pelled to arrest, proscribe and subject to the confiscation of their remaining property if he be elected Governor; because the radicals say that all the democratic merchants, bankers and manufacturers are traitors, and insist that all democrats should be regarded and treated as traitors. General Wadsworth could not resist the radical pressure if he were Governor, but would succumb to it, as higher officials have done, and send to prison the very democrats with whom he now agrees, and whom he now (before election) so warmly praises, That would be a very sad thing for General Wads- worth, as well as for the democrats. Let us save him from it by not electing him. Tue Orveans Dysasry ww tue Fretp—We publish in another column a letter from the Count de Paris, in reference to the campaign on the Potomac, in which he took an active part with General McClellan. It is evident that the young Count is now in another field—a candi- date for the throne of France—and that he is likely to give Louis Napoleon more trouble than even Garibaldi. The Italian complica- tions are not yet disposed of, and the grandson of Louis Philippe is watching and waiting for his opportunity. He has had a year of experi- ence in a tremendous war, and that will fit him to take part in whatever struggle the revolu- tionary elements now existing in France and throughout Europe may present to his hopes. ‘That he has identified himself with our republi- can institutions is a feather in his cap. So let the Napoleon dynasty look out! Have tae Army a Riout To Vote In THE Cowie Exectioy ?=There is a strong feeling in the army that the soldiers have a right to vote in the ensuing. election. They naturally ask, why shonld they be deprived of their votes for their patriotic devotion in fighting the battles of the Union, while men at home, who would not risk their lives in the cause, may, by their votes, overthrow the very principles for which the patriot soldiers are shedding their blood? The State Legislatures ought to have given the necessary authority. In the Southern States the soldiers have been permitted to vote at the elections. Why notin the North? If the con- stitution ought to be suspended for anything, it is in this case, and some provision ought to be made whereby our troops may vote upon the vital questions now pending, which affect the @eatinias of the country. Tuvrtow Waxp Asour ro Savr Ur Sior.— It is said that Thurlow Weed, having been completely defeated by Greeley in the nomin'e- tion of Wadsworth, intends to shut up shop, and the political firm of Seward, Weed and Company will then retire from business. Thur- tow Weed has aecumulated about three hun- dred thousand dollars by lobbying, by five per cent commissions and by political brokerage generally, and will relinquish his connection with the Albany Evening Journal and come down to New York to try his band at stock speculations in Wall street. Mr. Weed had much better invest his money safely, buy a cot- tage in the country, turn rural philosopher, raise his own cucumbers and cabbages, keep a cow and a few pigs, write letters to the agri- cultural papers, go to bed early, rise at cock- crow, drink water with a little milk in it, live long and die happy. Sharp as he is, he will be only a country boy in comparison with our Wall street financiers, if he tries his luck here, and they will cheat him out of his little savings, take a lien on his life insurance policy, and send hinr back to Albany broken in fortune and in hope. Rural felicity is the thing for Thurlow Weed now. 3 This shutting up shop is not to relieve poor Greeley of all embarrassment, however, nor does it secure to him the undisputed control of the republican party in this State. Mr. Charles A. Dana, poor Greeley’s former associate on the Tribune, will purchase Mr. Weed’s interest, and take his place on the Albany Evening Journal. It will be remembered that Mr. Dana, after be- ing the managing editor of the Zribune under Greeley for many years, was unceremoniously kicked off because he would not consent to go into the gun contract and gun making business to which the Tribune was prostituted by Greeley, Snow, Almy and the oiher members of the associatidn. It is not likely that Dana has either forgotten or forgiven the hypocritical conduct of poor Greeley in voting for his ex- pulsion, while vowing to him the most ardent friendship, confidence and esteem; and it is more than likely that Dana will use his intimate knowledge of Greeley’s habits, conduct, in- trigues and hypocricies to give point and piquancy to the Evening Journal. Wilkeson played this same game when he left Thurlow Weed, joined the Tribune corps and became the Artful Dodger of Jew Fagin Greeley; and as Greeley approved of Wilkeson’s proceedings he can hardly object to Dana’s revelations. No ohe, unless it be ourself, knows Greeley better than Dana does, and he can endorse everything we have ever said of the Spruce street philoso- pher. The quarrel will be a very pretty one when it is once fairly begun, and probably be- fore it is concluded Dana and Greeley, like the Kilkenny cats, will completely destroy each other. Givinc Alp anp Comrort To THE Exemy.— The organs of Wadsworth and the radicals in this city are at length compelled to admit that Seymour is not a traitor; but they say that they “have aright to hold his supporters re- sponsible for the tendency and effect of their political action,” and that they intend to exer- cise it; for that “in heart” the Seymour men are “both rebels and traitors.” The democrats and other conservatives who are supporters of Seymour probably number 300,000. As they are rebels and traitors, they ought to be every man arrested and thrown into the various pri- sons, and the worst of them hanged, before they do any more mischief. If they are left at large they may elect Seymour, and that, it is con- tended, will “give aid and comfort to the re- jon.” By all means let them be disposed of before they make the rebellion successful. We had supposed that the democrats of this city gave two-thirds of the money that afforded aid and comfort to the government in the be- of this struggle, and that two-thirds of the troops from this State fighting in the army are democrats. Are they too traitors? We pause for a reply. POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. Massachusetts People’s Convention. This Convention, which seems to have met with un. bounded favor from the conservative elements of all parties in Massachusetts, will be held to-day in Faneui Hall, Boston, It will be decidedly a people’s gathering, composed of delegates who are disposed to throw off the trammels of party and place the old political leaders, who have heretofore controlled the avenues to office and power, in the rear ranks. Of course the biind followers of Governor Andrew and Sonator Sumner have opposed the movement in every possible way, because they saw in it the utter destruction of their future hopes; but the people have moved stoadily on in the undertaking, and to-day we hope to see the consummation of their designs Conventions To-Morrow. The Massachusetts democrats will go over the old routine of a State Convention to-morrow at Worcester: and the Democratic State Convention of Michigan wilt also be held to-morrow at Detroit. City Politics. THE DEMOCRATIC UNION IN THE CIfY—MEETING OF THE JOINT COMMITTEE OF TAMMANY AND MOZART HALLS, BTC. ‘The joint committee of the Tammany and Mozart par ties held a meeting at the Old Wigwam yesterday after- noon to arrange the terms of the proposed fusion on the county ticket to be voted for at the next election. The proceedings were conducted in a most friendly and geod humored spirit; but it does not seem quite such an easy task to arrive at a satisfactory agreement. Tho proposition of Mozart Hall was an equal division of the Congressmen and blymen—the odd Assembly nomination to be dotermiined by lot—and either the Surrogate or Supervisor. Tammany flall was understood to offer four Congressmen and eight of the Assemblymen to Mozart in return for the Supervisor and Surrogate. plans wore discussed very. warmly, and dnally it ‘was agreed to divide the ticket as follows:— Mozart Hail. Tammany Hail. Three Congressmen. Seven Aseemblymen. Nyman to be drawn for. Supervisor. THE TAMMANY SOCIETY Also held @ meeting last night, but did not transact any business of importance or of any interest to the public. RICHARD ©'GORMAN FOR CORPORATION COUNSEL. A meeting of the friends of Mr. Richard u'Gorman was held yesterday at Dodworth’s Hall, Broadway, with a view to press his namo for Corporation Counsel of this city, The attendance was quite large and respectable. It is thought that Mr. O’Gorman would reeeive the nomina- tion of all parties, except the republican, perhaps, as he is greatly esteemed and liked. Mr. John Kern was called to the chair, and Messrs, M. J. O'Donnel) and P. O'Shea acted as secretaries, Speeches were made by Judge O'Connor, Capt.

OUR SPECIAL ARMY CORRESPONDENCE, Asaoguakrers ARMY OF THR PoTOMAC, Oct, 2, 1862 } OF MARYLAND AND LOUDON HKIGETS. President Ijiccoin having arrived at Harper's Ferry yos- terday afternoon, and reviewed the troops on Bolwar Heights, under General Sumner, aud visited the ruins of the bridges and buildings destroyed at Harper's Ferry, passed the night with General Sumner, at his headquar- ters on the Heights of Bolivar. This morning he preceeded to review the troops on Loudon and on Mary- jand Heights, in that vicinity. Immediately after breakfast, the President, on horseback, accompanied by Major General Sumner, Brigadier Genorals Hancoek, Howard, Meagher and Gorman, with their respective staffs, and the gentlemen who composed the Presidential party, loft the headquarters of the corps on Bolivar, and rode down to Harper's Ferry, on their way to Loudon Heights, across the Shenandoah. Every one in town was out to see the President and party as they passed. Crossing the Shenandoab river on a pontoon bridge, the cavalcade commenced the difficult ascent of Loudon Heights. The road, which was full of stones and rocks, led along and up the side of the mountain parallel with the river for a considerable distance, and then bore off to the left through tbe dense woods away to the high- est summit. Up the horses tugged and toiled, over the étones and rocks. Atone point during the ascent one of the regiments of the division which holds the Heights was drawn up in line where the road turned to tho left. The soldiors presented arms as the President passed. ‘When the Presidential party reached the summit the troops were found drawn up in line awaiting his arrival. General Augers’ old division, now com- manded by General Geary, was formed in one Jong single line of battle on the hill. General Geary, who was wounded some time ago, returned yesterday and took command of the division. He 1s still compelled to carry his arm in asling. He received the President just as Mr, Lincoin reached the summit, and immediately conducted him along the division tine. The drums were beat and bugles sounded, the ensigus dipped their colors and the troops presented arms, At the same time a light howit- zer battery fired the Presidential salute of twenty-one guns. The President and party rode through the smoke, which completely eavoloped them for a while, in pass- ing to the further end of the division line, Loud and repeated cheers were given for the President as he rode along the line again on his return. This division formed part of General Banks’ old command. The troops were stationed on a point from which they could view the scene of their long and faithful service. They have been operating for the most part in the Shenandoah val- ley, except during the time when they joined in the brief campaign about Manassas under Pope, and participated ia the battle of Antietam ander McClellan. It was painfully suggestive to see that fine command drawn up in line of battic. The men were in excetlent spirits and presented a dno appearance, but the regi ments were greatly reduced in numbers. Some of the brigadier generais had been stricken down at the head of their brigades, most of the colonels were either killed og wounded—I saw only one or two colonels in the whole command—and many of the captains and licutenants had likewise fallen in battle, while hupdreds and thousands of privates originally on the muster rolls were not now to be found in the ranks. They, too, bad been stricken down during different engagements with the enemy. A major now commanas a brigade, many regiments are in charge of captains, some under lieutenants, while sergeants and corporals command the remnants of companies. And yet the remaining men looked splendid, aud were in excellen spirits. Pte President was highly pleased to find the soldiers in such a comfortable condition. He said be had not ex: pested to see them looking so well. Atter he had passed atong the line the second time the regiments returned to their tents and the President and party, joined by Gen- erals Geary and Green, began the descent of the mountain. Reaching ihe foot in safety they recrossed the pontoon bridge to Harper's Ferry. Passing through the town again the company attracted as much attention as before. Without delay they pro- ceeded to the pontoon bridge over the Potomac, uear the railroad bridge, which the robels had destroyed. The Presidential party presented a very ploturesque appear- ance while crossing the river oD that splendid pontoon beidge. Having safely landed on this side the President lod the party up the Maryland Heights. The fog had pre- vented the siznals being seen on the mountain in the morning, and the messenger which was subse- quently sent did not reach the headqnarters on the heights in time with the orders for the troops to prepare for re- view, so that the visit of the President tuck them com pletely by surprise, AS.s0on as the President appeared, Rowever. the division under General Gordun was hasty formed at different points on the mountain. Ove of the batteries, planted #0 as to command Loudon Heights, from which we had just descended, apened a sudden fre, and beiched forth the Presidential salute. The reverbe- rations of the beavy guns went rolling beyond the moun- tain summits. The resident rode past the battery, and the men presented sabres. Thence he weut to the other points on the heights, where soldiers were stationed, and ‘while he rode in front of the lines, with hat in hand, the troops loudly cheered him as before. He had inspected the troops, and was on his way down the mountain whea oo ona Repel vases coming up, when an interchange of civillt 5 On arriving at the bridge again at Harper's Ferry the President and party remained a while awaiting the arrival of bis age and the ambulances to con- vey them to MeClelian’s headquarters, eight or tem miles distant.
