The Washington correspondent OF the New
York World puts down our forces as follows:

am not we'll informed as to the second and
third divisions of the above aggregate, but sup
pose they are not materially wrong. But let
me append my regular weekly report Of the
troops In this vicinity, showing the correctness
of the first and most important statement:
And now for the grand column across the
river. During the week four regiments Of vol.
unteers, five companies of infantry, regulars,
and Grifin's and Shermans batteries, have
been transferred from Gen. Mans6eld's to Gen.
McDowell's command, increasing the strength
of the latter about as rapidly as the former Is
reinforced from the North. All the telegraph.
ic stories you hear about troops sent over the
river at the rate Of 10000 per night, are fabri-
cations. You may positively rely on this week
ly report. Il Is evident that o contingent
guard Of about 30 900 men is to be maintained
in this city. ,,.n .ts.t :.
But the troops already across the river, and
ready for instant advance, are located as fol
lowe, the precise encampment of each regiment

This statement Is exactly correct. 1t is un
doubtedly true that we are on the eve Of q par
tial adyaace; but the loaded sensation dispatch
published Saturday In New York paper, pro.
fessing to give an account of the division Of
our columns, the assignment Of commands,
time Of movement, etc., Is nothing but guess
work. Any one can see, at moments glance,
that the various regiments must march In three
divisions-by the three roads leading to the in
tefior--in order to combine at all, but no one
knows when, or under whose command. the
march will commence. .t,.- ~
he I again repeat my belief that, when We do
move, We shall 60 no farther than Fairfax or
Manassas Junction, until Patterson's column
closes In on our right, and McClellan's (per.
haps) has crossed the mountains. The truth of
the matter is that, the rebels are knoDn to be
sending Tsinfcresmshfs to General johnson as
rapidly as, the Manassas cars win convey them,
with the view of making q successful stand
against Patterson, and Gen. Johnson is falling
back to meet the needed sueeor. The limited ad.
vance which Gen. McDowell's division will
make may be considered more in the light Of
"a jint to distraet and divide the enenys strenSth
than as regular movement Of the federal ar
my "into the bowels of the laud.'' ,-e ~
