The news from the Army of the Potomac up to seven o'clock yesterday evening shots that it has completely severed its connection with Washing- ton and is now advancing, with a new basis of sup- plies to rest upon. No news of a serious battle The cannonading heard in the front was probably nothing more than outpost It was reported in Washington that on Friday morning our cavalry pushed for- ward as far aq Locust Grove, four miles south of Germanna Ford, where they met the advance of the rebel cavalry, and the latter were driven across Russell creek, and afterwards across Mill run, two miles from the grove. A body of rebel in- fantry was posted betyeen that point and Orange Court House, and the whole rebel force moved off in the direction of the latter place, which is nearly twelve miles to thesouthward. The map which we give to-day will show the fords and the routes by which Gencral Meade’s army crossed the Rapidan. The report of Quartermaster General Meigs of the late grand battle near Chattanooga shows that’ it was a surprise sprung upon the enemy, our troops moving upon Missionary Ridge in such per- foct order that the rebels had no suspicion of an attack, but regarded the movement as a dress parade of our troops. The details of the fight are most satisfactorily given by General Meigs, who declares that so well directed and so well ordered a battle has not taken place during the war. has reached us. skirmishing. Our last reports from General Burnside are to the 25th. He then still held Knoxville, and was in a position to do so for ten days to come. The victory at Chattanooga has no doubt relieved him ere this from much golicitude as to the security of his position. By the arrival of the mail steamship Goorge Washington from New Orleans, with dates to the 2ist, we have some interesting news relative to the inovements of Gen. Banks’ forces in Texas, which our «special correspondent gives in full. Corpus was captured on the 15th inst. by Gene- rals Banks and Dana, who marched upon that place from Brownsville.

The demolition of Bragg’s army gives General Grant the absolute control of all the Southern States between Virginia and Louisiana. The only armed force of any consequence now remalning to Jeff. Davis and his disjointed confederacy is the army of Gen. Lee; and if Lee has resdlved to risk the for- tunes of his master upon a general engage- meat he will, we think, inevitably be cut to pieces, Taking counsel of Bragg’s disastrous rout, we apprehend that Davis has already or- dered his faithful Virginian to return with his chopfallen veterans to Richmond with as little fighting and as rapidly as possible. The late rains have doubtless rendered the common roads along the Rapidan {mpassable for artil- lery; and thus while Gen. Meade may lose seve- ral days in waiting for a “drying wind, his ad- versary, by the Gordonsville Railroad, may se- cure a safe retreat to the rebel capital. Should Lee thus escape to the shelter of the Richmond fortifications the question recurs; will he remain there to stand the trial of a siege, or will his army be assigned to the melancholy duty of guarding the flight of Mahomet and bis movables to some safer refuge further South- ward! Raleigh, N.C.—if the people of that State could be relied upon—would be a safe temporary shelter for the rebel junta. Thecity has an extensive corn producing country behind it, and its bacon is not yet quite exhausted. Columbus, S. C., is in a beautiful elevated situ- ation; but the surrounding country is taxed to its capabilities to support the army of Beaure- gard and the city of Charleston. Atlanta, Ga., is the focus of an extensive system of railroads, is in the heart of a fertile region, and is a place hardly second in importance to Richmond, with its military factories and foundries; but At- lanta is too near the terrible army of Grant for even a temporary refuge to Davis. Where he is to go with his rebel scrip in leaving Richmond we cannot divine, while in remain- ing there he courts the penalty vf starvation or capture. He may possibly, bag and baggage, scrip and scrippage, abandon Richmond to the “Yankees,” and make a bold push to run the blockade at Wilmington for the congenial re- bel port of Nassau. Let our venerable friend, Secretary Welles, be on the qui vive. The great fact with which we have to deal is that a mortal blow has at length been given to the rebellion. It cannot possibly recover from the disastrous defeat of Bragg. It is a de- feat which will knock down rebel scrip to three cents for a dollar bill; for this paper, be- fore this crushing rebel reverse, was quoted at about eight cents for a dollar in Charleston, where they most religiously believe in it. It is a defeat which, in precipitating the collapse.of the rebel paper money system, will create uni- versal confusion, demoralization, distrust and disgust throughout the rebellious States, The time, in fact, has come when an encouraging proclamation to the people of those States from President Lincoln will unquestionably, we think, create a decisive popular revolution against the stranded confederacy of Davis, and in favor of a restoration of the good old Union throughout the length and breadth of the South. We would respectfully submit to President Lincoin, therefore, the propriety and expe- dionoy of issuing a proclamation to the people | of the States still involved in the rebellion, em- bracing a liberal amnesty and the concession of the State rights embodied in the federal consti- tution, as the generous conditions of immediate e@ubmission. Thus the Union may be entirely re-established within six months; while, if the people directly concerned are permitted to re- main under the conviction that the wan is to be prosecuted until Southera slavery shall be-ex- tinguished, they may prolong their resistance until the struggle is aggravated to a war of ex- termination between the white and black races of the cotton growing section. For the sake of the Union and of peace, and from every con- sideration of economy and sound policy, we appeal to President Lincoln to issue the procla- mation suggested, inviting the Southern people concerned to abandon the rebellious confede- racy, which has reduced them to the verge of absolute ruin, and to return to their alle- giance to the Union. Suotcrat Orricers.—The Police and Civil Jus- tice controversy is about the most muddled of any contests in this canvass. There are several candidates in the field who will discharge the duties of those offices with credit to themselves and the city if elected. We have for a long time had but little confidence in the system of electing Judicial officegs, and have advocated the return to the appointing power as the only way to prevent the complete debasement of the Judiciary. But the specimens that Presi- dent Lincoln has recently given us by appoint- ing Mr. Birdsall United States Judge for South Carolina, and Gen. Busteed to the same posi- tion for Alabama, has destroyed all cunfidence in the syatem of appointing Judges. It ig no better than the elective system, which places such men as McCann on the Judicial bench. We trust, however, that the result of the elec- tion on Tuesday next, ia regard to Police and Civil Justices, will show that the best candi- dates in the field can be elected, and thus prove that there is still a hope in the elective plan. As matters now stand, we cannot see any dif- ference in either the ree or appointing system. Look vo Your Scnoor Tioxets.—Should the educa nai department of this city be placed in the Lands of worthy and roliable citizens, or roing politicians and evil men, is one of tho mot important questions for the people of this metropolis to ide on Tuesday next. Will the voters at- this duty at the polls, a» they are in rand morally bound to dot The future of city depends more upon the result of on of school officers than most of thy our citizens may imagine, There is no excuse that can be offered by cur busi- hess mea and taxpayers that will justify them in neglecting duis important duty, There are, as we have repeatedly good and w pan stated, several en nominated for these po- sitions. It onl fins to be seen whether the voters ia the several wards will ascertain who they are, and cast their votes for them, or Allowgscheming and designing men to have | mattersall their own way. As @ samplo of those nominated who are worthy of the posi- | tion, and will make good and celiicient Commissioners if elected, we may men tion ex-Sherif James C. Willett, of the Twelfth ward, and W. B. Spaulding, of the Sixteenth ward. If men of their character * and standing can be elected in every ward there will be but little chanoe for those who are try- ing to make our school system contribute to their nofarious schomes succeeding in their plana. Can we hope that the returns of the election will enable us to announce that a great triumph has been achieved in the choice of school officers’ Voters of this city, dll rests in your hands. Tho prosperity or the further legeneracy of the education of our youth is entrusted to you. Let no excuse, ery for party or regularity deter you from discharging your duty as mea worthy of the trust. Grand Ground and Lofty Te ‘Pambiing in the Political Ring. The present political contest is an extremely curious affair. We do not remomber anything more funny in many a long day. Here we have poor Greeley, a ringleader in half a dozen lobby and political rings, objecting to Mr. Boole because he is said to have had something to do with the Aldermanic Ring. Upon the same principle Greeley ought to set to work to abolish the planet Saturn, because that has several rings. Again, we have the McKeon squad objecting to Boole because they think he was born in Nova Scotia, when most of the McKeonites first saw the light on the other side of the water, and are not half so good Ameri- cans as Boole, who was at least born on the American eontinent. The idea of theollowers of McKeon turning Know Nothings is ox- tremely preposterous. Then we have Greeley and Raymond, and Bryant, and several other such fellows, admitting that Mr. Boole is able, competent, intelligent and all that, and yet op- posing his election, as if New York did not want an able, competent and intelligent Mayer. It is indeed astonishing, if consistency be a jewel, that our politicians do not wear more of this sort of jewelry in these times of plentiful greenbacks and abundant diamonds. ‘ We can find no more appropriate compari- son for the editorial commentators upon the Mayoralty election than that of performing clowns in a circus ring. Sitting upon one of the front benches, a quiet but not inattentive spectator, and, as usual, the observed ‘of all observers, we watch with mingled amuse- ment and surprise the ludicrous antics of our contemporaries, and listen with the same medley of feeling to the queer speeches and sayings in which they indulge. Poor Greeley turns a handspring into the ring, cocks his white hat on the back part of his head, shows his thin legs through his black tights, and then begins his performance. First he stands on his head and declares that Boole will win. Then he puts his toe in his mouth, throws a back som- mersanlt, winks his left eye and asserts that Blunt is the man for his money. Then he rolls himself up like a ball; ties his legs in abow-knot over his back, sticks his head out of this atrange- ly confused mass, puts his fingers to his nose, and informs us that, on the whole, he prefers Gunther, but that either Boole or Blunt will be elected, and that Boole will probably be success- ful. The effect is certainly very amusing dnd the applause is immense. Still we really think that such a performance is very undignified for a person of Greeley’s years. Why should he ex- hibit himself in publio in a tight fitting dress, in which all the imperfections of form are distifictly visible, from the big bump of self- conceit on the top of his head to those bad corns on his toes, ypon which we have so often trod? Why showld he exhibit the defermities of his mind and heart in the same way? We blush for poor Greeley while we laugh at him; for our modesty is as great as our sense of the ridiculous. , But what shall we say of the double act of Raymond and Ben. Wood, who are clowns of about equal calibre, and therefore appear to- gether? The Little Villain is as active asa young monkey, and uses his feet as quickly as he did when he ran away from the imaginary Austrians at Solferino and the mythical Black Horse cavalry at Manassas. He is dressed in a suit of motley, kindly furnished by contribu- tions from Wall street brokers. Ben. Wood, on the contrary, is ‘rather stiff in his joints and weak in the knees, having been eonsiderably injured by several bad falls during the recent elections. He wears his customary suit of solemn white, and presents quite a ghastly and ghostly appearance. Before the act begins Ben Wood takes a dice box from his pocket and invites attention to the little joker. He also attempts to deliver a speech about lotte- ries, written for hffh by one of his hirelings. The bell rings in the middle of one of the best sentences, and the tricks commence. At once, to the intense amazement of all present, Ray- mond picks up Wood and swallows him bodily, declaring, as he does this wonderful feat, that Guuther is out of the contest, and that Boole will certainly be elected unless Gunther can draw away a few votes and thus elect Blunt. This said and done, the adroit Little Villain turns himself inside out, thus releasing Wood from his peculiarly perplexing predicament, and shows that he is stuffed full of Wall street dinners, railroad stock and gas. Then Wood begins a complicated series of runs, jumps, twists and rolls, during which he constantly ejaculates “Peace.” The ring master then in- terferes and asks Raymond if be is in favor of Boole for Mayor. ” Raymond cuts a caper, slaps his pockets, puts out bis tongue and nods as- sent. The same question is then asked of Wood, who eagerly ejaculates the query, “Has Boole a peace mark on his left arm?” Mr. A. Oakey Hall, who is in the ring watching Greeley, replies, “No; but his voice is still for war.” Wood at once expresses bis satisfaction and retires, arm in arm with Raymond, ¢heering for Mr. Boole. The great scene betweep the poet Bryant, of the Post, and the Man in the Iron Maak, who edits the World, concludes the entertainment. This is exceedingly solemn and affecting. Both are long winded and long worded talkers, and they go to work with terrible delibera- tion. Bryant advances slowly, selects his ground, feels that it is soft, in case of an accident, and then mixes poetry, politics and play in the following style:—“So live that, when thy summons comes tg vote (flipjack) with th’ innumerable that moves (sommersault) unto the polling place, where each shall take (dou- ble ehuftle) his turn to put bis ballot in the box (hand-spring), thou go not, like the Southern slave at night (Juba), scourged to his cabio, but, sustained and soothed (back sommersault) by an unfaltering trust, approachethe poll (grapevine twist) like one that goes into Mes- chutl’s saloon (curious contortions) and calls | for codfish cakes and coffee hot.” (A bow.) Before the audience can recover from this mys- torious address the Man in the Iron Mask comes forward and announces shat his mask is made | of Central Railroad iron, and that he fs in favor | of Boole. Quickly divesting bimaelf of his |} outside democratic coat, be shows that he has a greenback goat under that, a shoddy vous under | \} 10—John Lalor. that, an india rubber coat under that, a repub- lican,coat under that, and a clergyman’s coat under all. This perfgctly original plan, as he explains, obviates all ngcoasity of t your coat, although it sometimes betes) too warm to be comfortable, In the midst of these remarks we rise and leave the olroys. We do not even care to stay to seg the grand denoue- ment next Tuesday, when all these clowns will stand, hatin hand, begging Mayor Boole for favors en the score tliat their curious ¢ricks and contortions aided in electing him. For the re- publican clowns especially we have a senti- ment very like contempt. They are perpetual- ly railing against undue devotion to party and in favor of independence in politics, and yet, when they know that Boole fs the best man in the field, they dare not support him openly and honestly for fear of the party whip. A murrain on such editorial scamps! They disgrace the profession to which they belong. CITY POLITICS. List of Candidates for Mayor, Aldermen, Coun- cilmen, Judges and School Officers, Bey ‘ke ee As only two days intervene between this afd olection time, we give our customary list of candidates put for- ward by the various parties for Mayor, Aldermeh, Coun- ¢ilmen, Civil Justices, Police Justices and school officers. In several districts the partis have been split up into ‘such inflnitessimal fractions that we have boenjunable to ascortain, with any degree of correctness, who are the genuine candidates, and who are mercly the bogus ones. Uur list 1s, therefore, necessarily imperfect,’ and we only give such names as are known to have been really put in nomination for offices. In the Secona Aldermanic district, Measrs. Morgan Jones and Wm. Walsh both claim the Tammany and Mo- zart nominations. Mr. Jonés, it is said, obtained the en- dorsement of the Sixth ward dolégations, and Mr. Walsh's friends assert that the Fourth ward ations bolted and put him (Walsb) in nomigation on a split ticket. The Contest in the district appears to be most exciting be- tween the partisans of the rival candidates. In the Fourteenth Aldermanic district Mr. Richard O’Brien and Mr. James Irvitig are having a contest somo- what like%hat of Walsh and Jones in the Second district. Mr. O’Brien has received the Tammany nomination, and claims also to have won the Mozart endorsement. Irving, on the other hand, professes to have beaten O’Brien in the Mozart Convention by a majority of votes, and is run+ ning as the regular candidate, The citizens’ party of the district, composed of such men as Moses Taylor, N. L. McCready and Robert L. Cutting, have nominated O’Brien and signed a card recommendipg him as an honest and incorruptible man. The police authorities anticipate warm work in this distfict on election day. In several of the J ygictal districts tho parties are split up into countless fragments, cach with its separate can- didate, a0 that the electors aro perfectly puzzied to know who to vote for. ‘The following list of candidates will exhibit at a glance the manner in which the tickets have been divided and subdivided:— 14—R! febura O’Brien. 16—Terence Farfe; y.

A meeting was held in the Cooper Institute last night for the purpose of ratifying the nomination of Mr. C.

ILLNESS OF THR PRESIDENT. ‘Ths President re yesterday prohibited by bis physi- cian from regelving visitors, or even holding interviews with the members of his Cabinet. His health is to day, however, much improved, and it is expected he will soon be able to resume bis official duties, In the meantime, to enable bim to prepare his Messago, until after the meoting of Congress all visitors will bo excluded from the White House. THE ANNUAL DEPARTMENT REPORTS TO CONGRESS., All the bureau reports in the various departments have ‘been sent in except that of Commerce and Navigation, of which the report due last year is just finished, The re- ports of the Secretaries, except those of the War and Treasury , will probably be sent to the President on Mon- day or Tuesday. Mr. Chase bes been shut our from visi. tors of every description to day, in order to complete his report. PROPOSED IMOREAGR OF THR BKCISR TAX ON DIS- TILLED SPIRITS. The Commiesioner of Internal Revenue has cosclufed to recommend in his report to the Secretary of the Trea- sury a large inerease in the excise tax on distilled spirits, the present tax being considered absurdly low as com pared with that levied by other governments. While to England it yields twenty per centum aod upwards of the gross internal revenue of tbat country, in our own it yields lees than ten per centum. As it is deemod necossary to increase taxation to make the law moet the expectations of Congress, (bore is n0 article on which it can bo better levied than on this; therefore the Commissioner will ask that the tax be increased to fifty or sixty cents, probably to the latter sum. SUPPLIKG DESPATONED TO THB RICHMOND PRISONERS, ‘Tho Sanitary Commission bave to-day despatched from Baltimore auotbor large invoice of clothing aud supplics for the Union prisoners in Richmond.
