---.-- --

Although the last tidings from America,
brought yesterday to our shores by the Nova
Scotia, add but scantily to our previous know-
ledge of the course of the war, they possess
a peculiar value, inasmuch as they rectify our last
fragments of information. The accounts brought to
us by the preceding packet appear, after this revi-
sion, to have been in one or two particulars very
considerably exaggerated. The Confederates who
have actually crossed the Potomac, it seems, num-
ber no more than a few thousand men altogether.
Along the banks of that river, however, in readi-
ness to follow their commands
on the shortest
notice, loitered the rest of
the Southern
soldiers making up the sum total of the
grand army, under the banners of LEE. That army
as a whole is estimated, moreover, we now learn, at
an aggregate of from 80,000 to 100,000 men. Sup-
posing which estimate to be correct, the numbers,
it is observable, are slightly in excess of these
pertaining to the Federal army under Roolitit.
Very slightly, however, if at all, can it, be in excess
of the Federals under HOOKER seeing that
General LEE has refrained hitherto from assailing
his antagonist, or from (as yet) croesing the Potomac.
A portion of his troops, LEE has sent across it is true
but only a portion, as already remarked, numbering a
very few thousand. These, when the last advices
left, were still in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
They are there manifestly enough less for purposes
of reconnoitring than either as an advanced guard or
as a decoy. Probably the next intelligence received
from that part of the seat of war will clearly
enough indicate the purpose of General LEE in de-
ciding upon this partial and apparently as yet
merely episodical movement. Hagerstown, although
hitherto the onlyplace on the left side of the Potomac,
occupied by the Confederate troops, the comparative
few of them at least thrown across it north of
Washington, certainly appears to have been occu-
pied in something like earnest, stores having been
transported thither in abundance ! Hagerstown
had been constituted, iu point of fact, the head-
quarters of the expeditionary force in Maryland,
whence it might venture at pleasure upon future

raids into Pennsylvania.
A confident statement meanwhile appears to have
been put forth through the New Tea: Tribune to
the ['Tea that General LEE had moved his
main army in fo:ce upon Centreville, there
defeating the Federala under HOOKER, and
defeating them so completely that, according to the
corroborated account of .11ANHATTAN, "HOOKER
[meaning his immediate entourage, we presume]
had been cut to pieces, and his army captured."
Rather a confused, almost we had said a contradic-
t°
17, Way of putting it. But, even when expressed
thus
ninBeBlY. MANHATTAN'S statement is so e-1-
ceedingly Positive 0? its kind, that it surely must
