Z SITUATION.
We to-day publish further particulars relative to
the recent battle at Cedar Mountain. Among
other things it will be remarked that the rebels
have begged permission to bury their dead left on
the field plainly showing that they did not gain
victory. The resume Of the operations OF the
Army OF Virginia since the commenc cment Of the
month will be found very interesting, as also the
sketches Of some of the officers who have suffered
from tie conflict.
Later news shows plainly that the rebels have
retreated, and that General Pope has taken posses.
sion of the ground formerly held by them.
The non-connection Of the trains south Of Balti-
more last evening prevented the arrival of our
special messenger from the scene of the recent
conflict under General Pope. We are therefore
compelled to omit the full description of the bat
tle, usually furnished by our special war cores.
pondents, until tomorrow.
The tidings from Northern Missouri are more
flat,ering to the Union forces. Colonel McNiel is

have deserted him and to have become scattered,
several falling into the hands of our troops.
General Morgan, Governor OF the State Of New
York, has announced tie quota OF the State for
the draft call to be 50 7o5, of which 25ls forms
the portion allotted TO the city and county Of New
York. General Buckingham, Assistant Adjutant
General, has officially stated that whatever volun-
teer force above its ratable proportion shall be
offered BY State, any time before the draft is &C.
tually made, would be accepted by the War De.
partment and credited upon the draft as a proper.
tiopable reduction" With regard to county or
district proportions, the State Executive alone can
act. The same General calls upon the various
Governors to enroll the militia Immediately.
Another order that recruits for old regi.
ments will be counted as part Of the new levy,
and the State credited Herewith. The Judge Ad.
vocate's order viii also repay careful perusal.
Recruiting for the volunteer call appears to be
very brisk At oswego it appears that fine men
have TO be refused, as the regiments are full. In
Kentucky the militia and cavalry are already en-
rolled.
