Harri.cn's Landing is evacuated with
out struggle, without blow, without
even the loss of single man. The i'm
mense army of the Potomac, officers and
men, bag and baggage, ammunition and
contrabands, are now far away from Har-
rison's Landing, leaving it deserted and
desolate. All agree that the whole affair
was admirably executed.
On Monday last Metals division re-
ceived orders to strike tents, provide six
days rations, and be ready to move at q
moments notice. At 9 o'clock at night
the whole division arrived at the wharf
and embarked quickly on steamers, and
left the landing some time during the
night for Aqua Creek as supposed via
Fort Monroe
An order was issued that no more ves-
sells loaded with supplies should proceed
farther than Fort Monroe, and on W ednes-
day ten days rations were served to the
army which was required to be in readi-
ness to move at an hours notice.
On Thursday the army commenced eva
cuating All the seige guns were re-
moved from the front and safely en-, bar ked
on Thursday and yesterday on board,
barges and schooners. Porter's corps
led the van of the overland portion Of the
army. Thursday night and Friday MORN
ing every tent was struck. Then for the
FIRST time ii was generally known that the
whole army was about evscuating Har-
rison's Landing.
On Thursday night fifty sail vessels left
the different wharves loaded with stores,
and yesterday the remainder of the stores
were placed on boats aud steamers.
All The cavalry that remained before the
final departure Of the land forces acted as
pickcts, and strong rear guard Of infan-
try and artillery to protect the baggage
trains.
The sick and wounded who remained
at the different hospitals were placed on
board the regular steamboat belonging to
the Sanitary Commission Ut the Long
Wharf, and we're among the hrst to move
out in the stream. Contrabands were
shipped on schooners, barges and pon,oon
boats. Gen. Mcclellan and most of his
staff went by land.

Jim Lane - the Rescue.


Brig. Gen. Lane has reached here with
reintorcemenls, rendering the safety Of
this place certain. The gunbos, Werner
is also here which can do valuable service
in case of an attack.
Some of QuantrilPs General Orders
have been found near here. They ask all
persons wishing to escape from being
drafted into the Federal army to join his
corps, where they will End arms aud am
munition to operate against the Federal
troops at every possible point. They also
state that every man liable to be drafted
into the United States army who 10 found
going to any Federal military post, or
any person who is known TO have report
ed to any military post the Whereabouts Of
Southern men, shall be shot wherever
found. Also, any one known to have
paid money to the Federal government TO
exempt him from military duty is liable
TO have his chattel property taken for the
use of the Southern army. These orders
emanated from the commanders of forces
recognized as regular soldiers by the
rebel Secretary Of War.

ropa's news last night.
The Persia, from New York, arrived
at Liverpool on the 9th.
The U. s. steamer Tuscarora arrived
at Kingston on the 9th.
The Times of Saturday has an editorial
expatiating on the diminutive paper cur
rency in America. 10 another article it
reviews the conduct of America in regard
to the commerce of Nassau. l, questions
the policy Of carrying out their powers to
the full extent, and says Lord Palmeston
Is perfectly right in tolerating a claim
which 1t may be hereafter the interest of
his own country to enforce.
1t is stated that Slidell in an interview
with the Emperor. Napoleon, lie urged up
on him the recognition of the Southern
Confedcracy, and Napoleon is said to have
admitted the cogency Of the arguments
held forth by Slidell in favor of such 4
course, but said that the greatest barrier
to the South had been the objection of
England.
Lord Palmerston, ina speech delivered
at Sheffield, a0ain advocated no interfe-
renee in American affairs.
Mr.. Roebuck also made speech on the
same occasion, but took an opposite view
from that of Lord Palmerston, and urged
the claims of the Confederates to be such
rs entitled them to recognition in England.
Another account says that the rebel
ENJOYS at Paris and London had demand
ed the recognition of the Southern Con-
federacy. 1t is said that England refused
the demand, but France had not yet re-
piled.
The Paris Bourse closed very dull on
Saturday Rentes were quoted at 6sf

The Confederate steamers Merrimsc
and $3.50 both succeeded in escaping
FROM the Tuscarora.

1t is stated that Garibaldi refuses to
obey Victor Emmannel's proclamation.
1t is also stated that he held council OF
war on the 4th, Mt which it was determin-
ed to march on Rome, Notwithstanding
circumstances from Turin. Enthusiasm
for Garibaldi in Sicily was tremendous,
and it was reported that he would soon be
at the head Of 5000 men.
