ARMY BUDGET.
ANoruup pArR1or1o FoRrIeNrn.

Baron D'Reifenborg, of Belgium, has ten
dered his military services to the Govern
ment H II
The animals used by the army at Wash
ington consume FIVE hundred tuns of prov
ender per month.
General Burns has been placed in COM
mand of Colonel Bakers Brigade. This
was done at the suggestion of General Nc
Clellan.
The Secretary of State has refused to
pay the back salary Of the rebel ]. Helm,
late United States Consul at Havana. Serves
him right.
The houses recently occupied by Sena-
tors Douglas, Rice and Breckenridge, at
Washington, have been hired for hospital
purposes, at cost of $1,000 year.
THE REBEL FORCES.
We append an estimate of the rebel forces
now in the field, made by the Baltimore cor.
respondent of the New York Herald. We
consider the estimate much too high. For
instance, he puts Price and McCulloch's force
in Missouri at 10000. The last dispatch says
their combined army is 30 900, and there are
not probably $4,000 more in the State. We
have no idea that there are 10000 rebel
troops in the neiehborhood Of Norfolk, nor
that there are so many in Kentucky as ap'
pears by the following figures. Still, the
CORES pondent is evidently in command of
peculiar sources of information, and we think
his estimate is the general rebel estimate,
