All Quiet on the Potomac.
ESPECIAL to the Times !

WAsHINcToN, Sept. 28.-Advices received
tonight from correspondent with the army
Of the Potomac, represent ALL quiet up to
this morning.
1t is calculated that the expenditures Of
the Quartermaster's Department for the ifs,
cal year ending June S0th, 1868, will
amount to somewhere in the neighborhood
of $375,OOO,OOO. The opinion of Judge
Lewis is, that the receipts from internal rev.
enue will be more than sufficient to pay the
interest on the public debt.
A few days ago, General Heintzelman,
while riding in the ueighborhood of Seneca
Greek, with portion of his staff, was chas-

capped capture. :.

Potomac have been arrested in this city.
A haul was made yesterday at George

making business of enticing soldiers from
their regiments, clothing them in citizens

The Draft q Failure--AnOther
Draft to be Ordered Immedi.
ately for 100000 men.

New YORK, Sept. 29.-The correspon'
dence of the Post of the 29th says the re
verse in Northern Georgia compels the
government to raise more troops than it
had contemplated. The present draft will
not give the government over 1000 men.
1t is said in some quarters that this is too
high an estimate by $4,000 men. Another
draft will undoubtedly take place very
soon, except in those States which prefer to
raise the full quota by volunteering. The
Western States will raise their quota by
volunteering, as the government offers a
bounty of $780,
The next draft will probably be for 6OO,-
900 men, and the expectation of the gov
ernment under the new instructions is to
obtain one-third of the men drafted as sol
diers.
The two drafts and the volunteering, it
is estimated, will give about 100000 men
by the first ofnext January

INTERNAL REVENUE DEcfsIoN-The Com
missioner of Internal Revenue has decided
relative to licensing wholesale dealers, that
