Senatorial district of Connecticut, gives an account of the measures resorted to, to avoid the draft: To the Editors of the Evening Post: I see by an article in your paper, (August 13,) that three individuals from Danbury had cut off each a fore-finger, to evade the draft. There is a mistake in one particular. These persons were not from Danbury, but from New-Fairfield, an adjoining town. Instead of three there were five, besides some have had all their teeth extracted for the same purpose. There is no trick or dishonest device to which they have not resorted to escape helping to maintain the best Government under heaven. I find men can be loyal — yes, very loyal, vociferously loyal — when it costs nothing; but when the hour of trial comes they show the white feather, and like miserable cowards as they are, resort to the meanest acts possible to escape.

Without a struggle, without a blow, without even the loss of a single man, the immense army of the Potomac, officers and men, bag and baggage, stores, tents, horses, ammunition, and contrabands, are now far away from Harrison's Landing, leaving it a deserted and desolate plain. For several days this important movement has been going on. Ten days ago, when on the way from Fortress Monroe to Harrison's Landing, in the mail-boat John A. Warner, I was convinced that the evacuation had already commenced, from the fact that steamer after steamer, and vessel after vessel, passed us steaming or sailing in the direction of Fortress Monroe, laden heavily with horses and stores. All agree that the whole affair had been admirably well planned and executed. For a wonder, every body did not know every thing that was to take place before an order was given, and f
