THE REBELS.

THE general idea at Washington is, that
the rebels are not at present in condition
to make formidable attack If they had
any..idea ofcrossing the Potomac and threat
ening Washington a week ago, they have
abandoned it. Their efforts now are ap-
parently directed towards establishing their
line of defences from Manassas to the lower
Potomac. The bulk of their army appears
to be deploying in that direction while
they are rapidly increasing the number
and strength of their batteries along the
shore. They have mounted within the
week a strong battery at the mouth of the
Rappahannocil, and additional guns at
cewall's Point. Our forces, 5000 strong at
Newport News, are hourly threatened with
an attack, and are prepared to move inside
of Fortress Monroe at short notice Gican-
tic efforts are making to fill up their ranks.
No longer able to depend on the slow pro-
cess of volunteering they hays commenced
drafting in Virginia.
