MeleHan’s masterly retreat to James river— ‘he glorious ‘of Forts St. Philip aud Jackson by Parragut,and the splendid cam; ‘of Grant in - sippi,are the most noteworthy. To this list must be adaed ~ march of Burnside from Crab Orchard to Knoxville. Burnside, on he bas twice told us since his arrival, has desired to ‘oad an army to our deliverance from the mo- ment that be took command of the Department of the Ohio. Many things beyond his control delayed the expedition beyond the spring and carly sum- mor. In the first place his were @epondent «on Rosecrans, The army of the rebellion mast. have lis alteution telly occupied before any army, ‘0 matter hew lar, cold venture through the defiles @& the mountains, Rosecrans, it wili be remembered, wes farfrom being at Chattanooga as late as June last, Bragg was then endeavoring to make tho fight to save the southern railrond as near to Murfreesboro as possi. ole; bet the wiley Rosey, by flank movements, wes so constantly putting Bragg in a position where he must fight on at least equal terms, that the latter was at teat obliged to fail back within bis defences at Chattanoo- ope, Rosecrans following closely on his heels. Middle Ten- nesses was cleared of the enemy, nad the way at last open for the advance of Burnside. ‘Daring this time Burnside had not been idie, His army had been concentrated at the southerly verminus of the Kentucky Kuiiroad, and fitted out especially for forced marches and hard fighting. ‘All superilufties were cast @side. but every necessary for a mountiin campaign was wecured with wonderful foresight. Large droves of pack muks were secured and loaded with the eseeatiais of the commissary department; great numbers ‘of wagons were prepared to follow the army as closely a possible. A portion of the army was mounted on & rses picked for endurance to form the adyanes. The “troops of tho Twenty-third Army Corps, Major General Harientl commanding, ied the advance of this grand army % detiverance. A large part ot the cavairy of this corps hed but just returned from the pursuit and captare of Morgan and bis Dand in Ohio when the order for tiris advance was reovived. The alncrity and enthusiasm which (he men havesexbibited om this rapid march is Deyoud al praise, amd reflects great credit on the organ)- ey on, ‘With an army thorougbly orgavized and equipped for the work betare him, Burnside leit Crab Orchard on tho Btet of Aug st. about the same time Hartsuff com- menoed the onward movement from Somerset with the infantry portion of the army and with artillery.

The McKeom Organisation at Work— The Nominating Conventions Called The Proposed Union Between Tam- many and Mozart—Movements of the Republican Candidates, dc. 8 we stated @ day or two since, the McKeon organiza- tion has commenced its work for nominating a ticket to be supported at the coming election, That organization held a meeting on the evening of October 6 at the Sinclair House, and has issued a call for the different conven- tions, Delegates aro to be elected this week. The Judi- clary Convention; to nominate candidates for those posi- tions to bo filled this fall, la to meet at the Sinclair House on Monday evening, October 12. The County Cone vention, to nominate candidates for Supervisor and Re- gieter, will meet at the same place on Tuesday evening, Ootoder 13. ‘The delegates elected to nominate candidates for Sena- tor will meet on the evening ot October 14 at the follow- ing places:— Fourth district—Fifth Ward Hotel. Fifth disirict—Tenth Ward Hotel, corner of Broome and Forsyth streets. Sixth district—At Jackson Ball, corner of Greenwich avenue and Thirtcenth street, Seventh district—Corner of Forty-second street am leer tnig morning in the ‘Third avenue. ‘This will doubtless be the first tieket in the field. The Managers of this faction boast that ithey will nomi- nate @ strong and able ticket. The sub-committees on the part of Tammany and Mo- zart have had a meeting. No union has been agreed ‘Upon, as reported in some quarters, but simply a com- mittee appointed to draft a series of resolutions to report at the next mecting as a basis of union between tho two Organizations. Whether this will result in a union re. mains yet to be seen. It will no doubt depend entirely upon the platform. Asother delegation has loft this city for Albany to ‘urge the Governor to remove the Police Commissioners atonce, The democratic cliques appear to have a great deal of trouble with their Governor, Some of these gen- tlemen asserted before they left that they would not re- turn uatil the Police Commissioners aro removed. From ‘the best information that we can obtain, if they hold out to-that pledge they will have something of » board bil) to pay at Albany bofore they return. ‘Since the election of the delegates to the nominating conventions the plans of that party are becoming better Known. As far as the Judges are concermed, they wil favor the re-election of many of the present incum- Dents, but will nominate a straight county ticket for Supervisor and Register. The Fourth and Fifth Senatorial district, they seem generally to takefbut little interest in, feeting that they have very little chance in either district. In the Sixth district Henry J. Ray- mond is being pushed very hard. It is expected that this ‘wi meet with a bitter opposition from Greeley, Opdyke and Company; but the friends of Raymond expect to overcome that and draw Jargely from the other side by the weakness of the democratic nominees. In the Seventh district one portion of the party is pressing the name of William R. Stewart, and the other urges non-action until the democracy make their pomination, and then to take up a strong war demo- crat. How this will fually terminate we are unabie to say; nor have we any positive information whether Mr. Stewart will permit bis name to be used in connection with that office. As far as the Assembly nominations are concerned, from present indications it is a mere squabble between a lot of candidates as yet. It will no doubt be several days before it takes any reliable form. ‘The list of candidates still increases. William B. Quinn, a lawyer, doing business at 935 Broadway, is a candidate for Assembly in the Twelfth Assembly district, on the Mozart side. ° W. 8. Yaid, Deputy Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, and School Inspector in tho Twenty-firat}ward, is a candi- date for Assembly in the Fifteenth district. The Union candidate for Police’ Justice im the First die- trict Is Luther Horton, instead of Hunter, as formerly stated. Horatio N. Parker is a candidate for Police Justice in the Fourth district. He im at present one of the officials messengers, we believe, to the Boaad of Aldenmea. ‘Gharles McNeil! has been nomimated by the demeoracy of the Second Assembly distriet ef Quecas county, and placed on @ platform in epposition to the Long Island Rau- Toad and the legisintien whic® that poad fs aniaing for. ‘Dhe@emecratte State Central Committee, we onzrer ror Sota ‘MBAS AT TIS TEE—TOE a — bt ‘NT PARWS OF DHE STATE, ‘Bee Democrat State Contra!
