From the New York Times, Aug. Is.
We have definite news this morning,
from our correspondents with the Army
Of the Potomac, Of the entire withdraw.
al Of Gen. McClellan's army from its
recent camp at Harrison's Landing.
At the time our letters we're written,
the evacuation was in full progress +;
snd as the time has elapsed within
which the FIRST march Was to be accom-
plished, from the late camp To- The II.
cinity Of Williamsburg, and a. no news
has been had up to tho moment Of the
present writing Of any interference with
Gen. McClellan's movement ON the
part ct the enemy, We may assume that
it has been entirely successful, and that
al possibility Of hostile injury to that
still great army, isolated and ineiec-
tual where it was, is ut an end.

The southern newspapers furnish
very little news respecting Jackson.
They say that Banks was driven back
ivc miles, and that his force was cut
TO pieces.
The number Of officers captured by
jackson is said to be 20, all of whom
have been placed in close confinement,
until MIR. Lincoln is heard from in rela.
ton to the retaliation business.
The number of prisoners captured
at Cumberland Gap by Stevenson il
reported at 5000, which is wide
exaggeration, - there. were not that
many Federal troops there.
The news from East Tennessee is
very megre. All that is said about it
is, that the Gap is in possession Of the
rebels, md that the whole Federal
army there stationed are prisoners.
There is nothing from Buel.
