The army. --Advices received from passengers by the Central train confirm the report which we mentioned yesterday, that the enemy were falling back, and that all their force had been withdrawn from the south side of the Rappahannock.

y of the Government by military force. The quota to be drawn from the 2d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Districts, is 2,050 each, which, it may be remarked, is less than the number previously called for, and even smaller than that claimed by Gov. Seymour to equalize the districts of the State. The Baltimore Gazette, in its summary, says: The undercurrent of opposition to the draft in New York is represented to be intensely bitter, and the New York correspondents of the Philadelphia Press and the Ledger both doubt whether it will be possible to force the unwilling conscripts into the ranks without inaugurating civil war. It is said that Gov. Seymour is inditing a reply to the last letter of President Lincoln; but if the tone of the New York World on the subject of the draft be taken as an indication of the Governor's sentiments, there will be no further opposition manifested on his part. There are those, however, who think differently. They believe that he has assumed a pos

There is not even any picket firing going on. The cavalry make an occasional capture of small squads of the enemy near Falmouth and Stafford Court-House. The rebels have no force north of the Rappahannock. Gen. Lee, however, is said to have recently received fully 30,000 men as reinforcements, and that his army will soon number 150,000 men, including veterans and conscripts. On the contrary, it is stated that no material force has yet reached him from the Southwest, and that his only reinforcements have been small bodies of conscripts. Seward on a pleasure Excursion.

The Agent of the Press Association has published the annexed summary of news from the Baltimore Gazette, of the 15th, and the New York Herald, of the 17th instant: The draft in New York. The Herald, in its "Situation" column, says: It is definitely settled that the draft shall commence in this city on Wednesday next, 19th inst. The Sixth district is fixed upon for the beginning of the draft; and the place of conscription is No. 186, Sixth avenue. General Dix has issued a very forcible address to the citizens of New York, in view of the enforcement of the draft, imploring them to preserve order and offer no resistance. He sets forth the necessity, as well as the legality of the law; reminds the citizens that, in the face of the fact that the accuracy of the enrollment has been impugned, the President has reduced the quota in nearly all the districts. He warns the public, however, that if his suggestions should be disregarded, and the peace be disturbed, ample

ays: A call is out to-day for a mass meeting of citizens of the 19th Ward "to form a regiment of national guards, to be placed at the disposal of the Governor, at the earliest possible moment, either to repel a foreign foe or maintain the rights of the Empire State. An invasion or usurpation would be equally obnoxious; therefore, as we value liberty, so let us be vigilant." The call is signed by Thomas McSpeddon, an ex-Democratic alderman, of the order of Roughs. New York, Aug. 14th--The draft, it is understood, will commence in this city on Monday next.
