ton Of an attack by Gen. Mcclellan. Johnston was
AT Centreville.
Beauregard was stationed at Fairfax Depot on
the right of Braddocks Road and also busy pre-
pairing for the anticipated attack The combined
forces Of Johnston and Beauregard were estimated
to not exceed 100000 fighting men, but Ie-enforco-
men,s were expected from Richmond. Their srtil-
lery amounted to 200 pieces, mostly indinerently
manned, with horses Of very inferior quality.
The troops, with the exception Of those from the
cotton States, wero poorly clad, and many were al
mosi barefooted The commifsira department was
deficient In the means Of transportation.
Tho Virginia trooIs were much dispirited and as
serted, in many instances, that when their present
term Of service expired they would not reenlis,
under any consideration. Eleven desertions came
within the informsrts knowledge on ons night.

REBEL REPORTS ABOUT RUNNING THE
BLOCKADE

To me Editor Of The ~ " Tribune.
Sir: One Of the principal objects Of the rebels at
present being to convince Europe of the iDefciency
Of our blockade, we must expect, in the absence Of
fact, they will resort TO their well-known habit Of
lying in the most emphatic manner. This OF course,
We cannot help, but must soy have been surprised
that loyal papers should assist ia giving currency to
such malignant fasehoods as the statement in last
Fridays TRIBUNE, that AS vessels had run the
blockade since May. But il seems the only thing
necessary to give currency to the most outrageous
lie, is TO get some agent Of the Associated Press
TO send it over the wires. But would like toinqure
if we have any evidence that the Bermuda has en-
tered Savannah IL SO, let us have the facts, and
not merely believe it because set of miserable trail
tors say 10. And also if we have any evidence that
