Robert Nugent, the Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General of this city. The troops were under command of Captain Watkins, and numbered about one hundred men. It was currently reported that the great through which had burned up the Marshal's quarters in Third Avenue had taken possession of the arsenal. The rumor, however, was unfounded. In some streets through which the regulars passed the seemed to anticipate that they came to enforce the draft. Small groups of women and men, in Wooster and other streets on their line of march, hooted and cursed at them, while some exclaimed: "You can't take our husbands." The movement of the regulars was kept secret by officers and men. The guide, Dr. White, U. S. A., and Capt. Watkins, refused to reveal their destination. At a quarter past 4 o'clock a crowd of about three thousand persons, who were being rapidly reinforced from almost every direction, marched down 5th avenue, and then crossed over East 31st street toward the 7th ave

to say that the dispatch from our special correspondent, which we printed yesterday afternoon, announcing the escape of the rebel army across the Potomac, is confirmed by the official bulletin of Gen. Meade. The only loss attending the movement was of a brigade of infantry, fifteen hundred strong, two guns, two caissons, two battle flags, and a number of small arms. Everything else Gen. Lee has succeeded in placing beyond the Potomac, and he thus not merely carries off the spoils of his Pennsylvania invasion, but the laurels of the campaign, subsequent to his defeat at Gettysburg, belong also to him. We do not suppose that Gen. Meade has not pressed the pursuit with all the energy and determination which the condition of his army admitted. It may well be that the terrible conflicts at Gettysburg seriously shattered his forces, and that he delayed his final attack in the hope to strengthen himself sufficiently to make it irresistible. Until further advised, we forbear criticis

e now, and I will see to your rights. Wait until my Adjutant returns from Washington, and you shall be satisfied. Listen to me and see that no harm is done to either persons or property, but retire peaceably. [Cheers]--Some of the crowd here shouted, "Send away those bayonets," referring to a company of soldiers who were drawn up in front or the City Hall; but the Governor declined to interfere with the military and showing in the crowd, retired Mr. E. O. Barrio of Brooklyn, formally of Tennessee, then himself, and asked the crowd to disperse and await the reply from Washington, which he was certain would come by telegraph this afternoon, and which he knew would be that no draft would take place. [Cries of "Send there soldiers away, then we'll go."] Upon the suggestion of some person Mr. Perrin told the crowd that the soldiers present were subject to the command of Gov. Seymour, and could not go unless he ordered them away. The speaker then retired, as did also the crowd, after

When the mob was passing down Second avenue somebody in the Armory fired on them from a window. They then fired and destroyed the building.

ing this rushed in, and taking hold of an officer who was near, struck him with paving stones, iron bars, and everything else within their reach. The poor fellow ran across the street, pursued by the mob, when a ball was fired at him, striking him in the back of the head. The man finally got into a brick yard, where a number of females beset him and abused him, until he dropped down exhausted, and could only be rescued by the united efforts of several gentlemen, who took him to St. Luke's Hospital. The greatest excitement prevailed at this time, and the most fierce of all were the women, who, with crowbars, clubs, shovels, and other implements of destruction, were running about calling on the men to die at home. Some person here advised the crowds to go round Lexington avenue and look for the police there. But only a few went up, who, on the corner of 42d street and Lexington avenue, came across a police officer, whose head was beaten to a jelly, but he got off and escap

Immediately after, Capt., Manierre, Provost Marshal of the Eighth District, adjourned the drawing of the names in that district, the wheels containing the ballots, and the lists and papers belonging to the officer were conveyed to the Twenty-ninth Precinct Station-house for safe keeping, as an attack on the officers was anticipated.

He said be had lately addressed them at a meeting at the Cooper Institute, where he told them Mr. Lincoln wanted to tear the hard working man from his family and send him to the war. He denounced Mr. Lincoln for his Conscription bill; which was in favor of the rich and against the poor man. He called him as Nero and a Caligula for such a measure. Had the country not given to this war plenty of men? Were they more liberal in supplying men and money in the time of their revolutionary fathers, or in the war with England in than in the present unhappy struggled Certainly not,--He then advised the people to organize resist the dratt, and appoint their leader, and, if necessary, he would be their leader.
