Sawyer and Flinn were executed at Richmond, because such exe. cution would be followed by thatof his son, and Capt. Winder, ave are inclined to credit, from the fact that Gen. Lee knows, sach execution. by the rebels of the two ponies By toon is contrary to alt usages and laws , two rebel captains executed by General Burn- side at Johnson’s Island having been arrested immediately back of Newport, Ky., say six to nine miles from Uincinniati, and probably oue hundred and fifty miles from any rebel band, and in a county staunchly loyal, while endeav. oring, under disguise, to enlist for the rebel army. The reputation of Lee would suffer too much if he permitted the raurder of the two Federal officers in retaliation tor two guerrillas executed as spies to take place without his opposition, especially when his immediate con- nections are to suffer from such injustice. NOT TRUE. The reports in circulation that a second draft has been ordered in this District are untrue; nor is such draft in contemplation at present. The board of-enroliment consider, from the experience of the past few days, that they are doing very well, éapecially in the way of sub. stitutes. It is not #elieved, from present indi- cations, that the number who will be exempted on account of disability, erroneolls enrollment, &c., will exceed the fifty per cent. which was added to the quota. Up to the present time there are but few paying their commutation money, most persons preferring to purchase substitutes at less than $300; but the price for substitutes is increasing—to-day the average being $225—and shortly the receiver of comma. tation money expects to have his hands full.

The Navy Department, we may say, has heard nothing of any such affair, and the whole thing is undoubtedly a big canard.

The double track between Trenton and New York will seon be completed, and a large torce is at work between Trenton and Philadelphia. From the latter city southward the track is complete to Newark, and will be speedily finished between Baltimore and Washington, Work is progressing upon the bridge across the Susquehanna, and there isa prospect that adouble track, without any change of cars, will soon be provided between Washington and New York. The companies have ordered thirty new first-class cars for the line.” THE ABSCCIATED PrEss AGENCY.—The Philadelphia Press says that the place vacated asagent for the New York Associated Press by Mr. D.
