The New York Tribune gives the foil,

The New York Tribune gives the follow
ing exhibit of our forces now in the field:
No statement has come from the War De.
partment of the number of our troops in the
field, and the difficulty of compiling such
authentic tables without access to its official
documents has, moreover, hitherto prevented
any one from undertaking the task. The
following compilation, nevertheless, is made
up from a careful perusal of all the messages
or documents of Governors or Adjutant-
Generals of States which have been published
during a month past, go we'll as all letters,
without exception, from army correspond
ents of all the leading newspapers, aud Of the
telegraphic dispatches to the Associated
Press. -......
This statement, accordingly, Of the num-
beT of troops now in the field or in camp or
barracks to be put in the field by the first of
November, is as nearly correct as any thing
unofficial of the kind can possible be made.
We have omitted from this table the District
of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Michigan
California, Oregon and the Territories, be-
cause we have found nothing sufficiently
authentic respecting them. 1t will be OBJ
served that the sixteen free States enumera-
ted below will have three hundred and sixty
two thousand troops ready for the field by
the lst of November. The States above
named would probably raise this aggregate
above four hundred thousand.

Great CRY aud Little Wool

We cautioned our readers last week not to
believe the unconfTmed assertions of Hol-
Inns, or of Bragg, or of the Richmond papers.
AS we more than suspected, Colonel Will
sons Zouaves are not destroyed, the Prebls
is not sunk, our Mississippi feet is not "ruu
on the sands" and the steamer NGshUiLLe,
with two eminent traitors on board, has not
sailed.
The machinery of the Manassas became
deTanged; the regiment which attacked Col
onel Wilson on Santa Rosa Island returned
to the main land" though other troops were
coming to its assistance; the list of rebels
killed and wounded, though already tOler-
ably large, ''is not yet complete;" and alto
eether the two affairs at the Belize and Peu-
sacola do not look like such triumphs as they
were represented
Meantime we notice a remarkably sharp
"Ysnkee trick" attempted by that redoubta-
BILE warrior General Braxton Bragg. He evi
dertly fears Colonel Harvey Brown, the
commaDdant of Fort Pickens, and not with.
out reason. So, TO protect himself from this
dreadful Colonel, General Bragg has con-
ceived the brilliant ideA of establishing a
hospital Immediately in front of his position;
and hoisting the yellow flag, he solemnly
warns Colonel Brown not to violate all the
amenities and proprieties of civilized warfare
by firing on his invalids.
Colonel Brown naturally tells Bragg TO
remove his sick out of the line of Ere, which
the chivalrous Bragg positively refuses to do,
declaring that he will "hold Colonel Brown
responsible before the world for any injury
| to his hospital" And this Undressing
correspondence" Bragg actually permits to
be published in the Pensacola Observer. II
reads like piece out of farce-this Bragg
manifesto. Hereafter we may look to see a
hospital going up before every Confederate
| feld-work or fortifcation, with "notice 10
the enemy p in huge letters on Its front,
warning all colonels aud others in the Union
armies that if they FIRE into this building
they twill he held responsible before the
worldn This new invention In the art el
war should be called "Bragg's Patent Safety
Game. ."--Ns0 York EVening Post.

CONDITION OF BoLIVAR HIGHTs The Phil
adelphis Inquirer of late date has the fol-
lowing statement;
Mrs. Mary Young, a resident for some
years of Bolivar Hights, Virginia, ar
rived here this evening, having left
her home on Saturday. She represents
the condition of matters at the flights as
truly distressing. 1t was a village of some
note, but now there are not more than ten
families there, composed of negroes and Irish.
She has not had any meat to eatfor two weeks
past, and butter and molasses.were not to be
obtained for miles around. ALI the men
we're enlisted in the rebel army, and the Wo.
men are obliged to do the serVile work. One
young man, who died there last Monday,
could not be buried until Friday, and then
the interment was made by the women, in a
garden attached to one of the houses.
After the battle at the Hights, the other
day, fOuro of our wounded, who were left on
the ground, were put TO death by slow and
cruel process, such as stabbing them in
various parts of the body with small PEN
knife. In these acts the rebels were aided
by Presbyterian clergyman of Harper's
Ferry, now residing at Sheppardstown
The rebel force on the occasion, she thinks
was three thousand men. She also says sh,
