RIcnnoyD, Oct. 23.-An intelligent gen
tleinan just from Washington says, the
Lincoln forces in Maryland, Virginia and
the District OF Columbia, amount to fully
100000, well equipped with the exception
of cavalry, with is much inferior to the
Confederate cavalr=. Several gentlemen
engaged in and witnesses of the battle near
Lcesburg, on Monday, says, the rout and
panic of the tederals exceed that Of Man
nssas plGins. When the federals took to
the river their heads were almost as thick
as u swarm OF blacksbirds, and it is impos-
sible to describe the scene, or estimate the
number drowned. hundreds were shot
while swimming and struggling in the wa
ter. Many left clothing ofall kinds-mnny
drowned each other. Most ofour wounded
will be brought to Richmond to morrow,
and nearly all the prisoners are expected
here in day or two.

They are well disposed of and are fine look

Cogswell, old army officers.
