The Draft.

Thosc who ere attempting to run away
from home to avoid the draft, leaving their
families to he supported by the public, por-
haps, before the coming winter is over, may
rest satisfied that they will never be called to
face the enemy. If copardice is prompting
their conduct, we think we may relieve their
fears by promising that before those who are
drafted shall be called to take the field, the
leaders Of the rebellion ,ciH be found skedad-
dling 10 distant nations, and the rank and file
permitted 10 lay dorm their arms and return
to tier homes wiser and we hope better men !!

The losses are very heavy on both sides,
not less than from two to three thous-
and, killed, wounded and missing, on
each side. Some prisoners were taken
by both armies.
Both Jackson aud Ewcll were present
in the battle Reinforcements under
Gen. A. p. Hill to the amount of 49,
900 men reached the rebels last night
at about the same time ours arrived.
Skirmishing in front is going on this
morning, but the troops on both sides
are SO much exhausted by fatigue and
intense heat that no serious encounter
is expected to-day.
OUR TROOPS HOLD THEIR POSITION.
NEW YORK, August 1.-THE Herald's
special report says that Jackson and
Ewell had from forty to fifty thousand
troops, and that our troops hold their
position.
General Crawford's Brigade was in
the advance.
