For the places Of Breckenridge and Powell late sena

Nathaniel Wolfe, Esq Hon. James Guthrie James Speed,
Joshua Bell and Luccn Anderson Of the First district
The merits Of these gentlemen have been discussed by the
papersndsod, they newspaper nominations, except
IN the latter case and II Is mot improbable that Mr. Crit
tonden win appear prominently before the Legislature.
II thought that John J. Crttenden vice Rrecknrdgs,
and James Guthrie, vice Powell, win be the SUCCESSFUL
ticket before the Iegslature. In the frat dslrchs

The forces Of the Union army are advancing the wings
contracting and narrowing and the lines becoming more
distinct The left wing under General Thomas has been
materially advanced while the right wing under General
Crtenden has neared the column Of the force under the
