IN obstru tim the ma cll rr O r. r,oI,s into the
interior OF tI'c State, should such Il measure bc
adopted. From this mountain the cncll.ys line
OF plckctS stretch along, in northwcscrly d.

Aion. the route referred to the enemy have
several dcpo's of supplies and rcnforccmcnts.
at least three new Notifications, and probably
double that number concealed and under con-
strncton
From personal reconnaissance, made by our
special correspondent, of the cncmys force at
Munsons HUI, he discovered that it consisted of
seven hundred cavalry one thousand infantry,
and three pieces Of field cannon. OF all these
Confederate movements General Mcclellan is
fully apprised, and he will, no doubt, when the
proper time arrives, pay Iris respects to tho
enemy.
From Special Dispatch of Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Position of the Confederates
Washington, dug. 29.-It is more than likely
that In the course Of the next two DAYS there
Will be some important military movements i'm
the immediate vicinity of Washington. 1t will
be interesting, therefore, to know the exact po-
sltlon of the enemy's forces. With the aid of
the maps of the vicinity of Washington hereto
fore published in the Inquirer, the reader will /,
be able to follow our description. 1t must be
borne in mind that it is now. five weeks since
the defeat of our army at Bull Run; that that
defeat has had the effect of an electric shock
throughout the whole South that it has reused
the enthusiasm Of the South to higher pitch
than ever; that, during the last five weeks,
troops have been pouring into Virginia from all
the other Southern States; that the Coufcdcratcs
have now IN arms, according to their own &C
counts, forces distributed about as follows:
-, No. Of Men.
Beauregard's Forces west of Washington so 900
Johnson's forces, at and near Leesburg, 10000
Magruder's forces, at Aqua Creek and
Fredericksburg, 10000
At batteries on Potomac, York James and ~. .
RappahannoCk rivers, 70 600
At yorktown, 1900
At Norfolk and Portsmouth, 10000
At Richmond, 5000
Forces of Generals Lee and Floyd, in
Western Virginia, $4,000
AT Lynchburg Camp of Instruction), 10000
Total, 23o, 900
The disposition of the forces in the immediate
vicinity of Washington is apparently in the form
of crescent, the horns resting near the Chain
Bridge and Shooters Hill, and the crescent near
Balls and Baley's Cross Roads. There arc
strong detachments at Falls Church, at Vienna,
at Fairfax at Centreville, and at Germantown.
The great Parrott gun, captured by the enemy
at Bull Run, has been brought up by them to
Baileys Cross Roads, and was placed in posi-
ton there yesterday, behind their Entertainments.
1t is not believed, however, that these prepara-
tons indicate any design of an immediate attack
on washington, but only closer approach toit
on an sides' IN order to be ready Tor an attack
II that measure is hnally decided on.
