with IN augmented force is moving in that direc-
ton. and will cross the river to attack Washing
ton on the north side. if not prevented. Gen.
Meade is massing his forces in that direction, and
a battle NAV be expected within "a hours. but
no apprehensions are entertained TO the result.
Gov. Solomon of Wisconsin is here. and hiss
succeeded in having the quota of volunteers
credited TO his State in the drSft that is TO be
made
1t has been concluded that the draft shall be
carried out in the Western States, but each one
is to be credited with its supply of volunteers,
and the draft is 10 he made accordingly
The sudden movement of our army has shut

them.
