New YORK. August 30. The Timeys
special Gays General Scott expressed the
opinion to-day that the rebels must make
an attack on our lines, and at an early day.
Information from the rebel army says that
there are large numbers in and about Ma
nassas, scattered on the lines of roads lead
ing to Richmond, and toward Strausburg.
There has been much sickness among these
men, owing to wet weather and deficiency
in clothing and tent equipage.
They are short ofeverything except wheat
-four ard corn, Of which they have an abund-
ance. The men were very restless and there
was no discipline. They we're highly elated
with their SUCCESS at Bull Run, aud so conf
dent of their ability to thrash the Abolition
lists that they imperatively demanded to be
led to Washington. 1t is probable, in obe-
dience to this requirement, that they are
now being paraded along our line
An intercepted letter from Columbus, Ga,
of recent date, shows that the New York
papers were received ut that point, within
| from ten to twelve days after the date of
publication, and further that the rebels are
basing their movements in the lower tier OF
States on the supposed intention of the de
signs of the military authorities here. as
developed by suggestions of the Northern
Press.
Postmaster General Blair and Secretary
Cameron signihed their intention to remove
every person from their Departments against
whom charge of disoyalty may be brought
by the Investigating Committee.
Especial Dispatch to New York Herald
The enemy has not only re-established
their old line of pckets as before the battle
| of Bull Run, but have actually encroached
on the territory formerly held by us, nearly
half a mile nearer our line of Notifications.
They now occupy several important STRAIT
egical points, on which they are throwing
! up Notifications. On Munson's Hill the
| temporary battery of rihed cannon, from
| which, for the last few days, they have kept
up a desultory fire on our troops at Bailey's
| Cross Roads. Along the route referred to
| the enemy has several depots of supplies and
e.enforcements, and at least three new forti
fcations, and probably double that number
concealed and under construction.
The enemy's force at Munsons Hill con-
sisted of seven hundred cavalry, one thou
sand infantry and three pieces of field can
| non.
A gentleman arrived here to-day from
Richmond via Louisville. He has spent sew
eTal weeks in Virginia, and visited the lines
of the rebel army. He estimates the number
now in arms in Virginia at nearly three
hundred thousand, and the force on the Po-
tomac alone at one hundred and eighty
thousand.
Since the 1st of June immense quantities
of arms, purchased in the East, have been
carried into the State through Baltimore,
and their whole army is now well armed.
Manassas Junction has been virtually aban-
doned, there being only guard left there to
look after the guns of the batteries.
The principal body of their forces has been
pushed forward to the upper Potomac, to be
thrown across into Maryland, for which
movement a column of forty thousand is
prepared, with pontoon bridges, upon which
they can cross at any point they find the
least defended.
They are determined to make an attempt
to get Maryland in their possession, and they
! believe that will insure their ultimate pos
session Of Washington and all the immense
! accumulation of supplies here, thus enabling
j them to transfer the war from the Potoma,
,, to the Susquehanna, and secure to them thu
recognition of Europe. This programme
has been decided upon.
