New YORK, Aug. 19.-T1fibuue's let.
ter. ]--Harrison's Landing is evacuated
without struggle, without a:blow, with.
out even the loss of single man. The
immense army of the Potomac, officers and
men, baggage, stores, tents, horses, ammu-
milton and contrabands are now far away
from Harrison's Landing, leaving it deserted
and desolate. All agree that the whole
affair was admirably executed on Monday
last.
McCall's division received orders to strike
tents provide six days rations, and be ready
to move at moments notice. At O'Clock
at night the whole division arrived at the
wharf, embarked quickly on steamers, and
left the landing sometime during the night
for Aqua creek, as was supposed.
AT Fortress Monroe orders were given
that no more vessels loaded with supplies
should proceed further than Fortress Mon
roe, and Wednesday ten days rations were
served to the army, which was required to
be in readiness to move at an hours notice.
Thursday the army commenced evacua.
ting. All the seige guns were removed
from the front, and safely embarked on
board barges and schooners. Porterss
corps led the van of the overland portion of
the army Thursday night.
Friday morning every tent was struck,
and then for the first time was it generally
known that the whole army was about
evacuating HarrisOn's Landing.
Thursday night fifty sail vessels left the
different wharves, loaded with stores, and
yesterday the remainder of the stores were
placed on boats and steamers.
All the cavalry that remained before the
final departure of the land forces, acted as
pickets, and strong rear guard Of infantry
and artillery was placed to protect the bag
gage trains. The sick and wounded who
remained at the different hospitals, were
placed on board the regular steamboats, be
longing to the sanitary commission at Long
Wharf, and were among the first to move
out into the stream. Contrabands were
shipped on schooners and barges and pom.

his staff went by land.
