 ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. G0.-Few moi dents broke the ominous quiet in the Central Railroad strike. In obedience to the wishes of the people the company has wholly withdrawn the Pinkertons from its cars, and as predicted by the Chief of Police, this has apparently set tied all the trouble. There seems to be every reason to believe from this that had the Pinkertons never been brought here to this peaceful city there never would have been trouble. The men are now quartered in their oars and are not seen except occasionally in the freight yards.
 It is understood that for the better protection of the railroad, and as an earnest Of his promise to preserve the peace and property if the Pinkertons were withdrawn, Chief Willard will secure the appointment of fifty special policeman at once to serve in addition to his regular force of patrolmen.
