WASHINGTON, June 80.
The TriJune's special says the rebel troops in
Virginia are estimated at 6O,00n, Of which 50,0Oc
are armed and not more than $4,000 can be con-
centrated anywhere. There now $4,000 at
Manassas, and 5000 at Yorktown. Norfolk is re-
garded as impregnable. 1t is said they don't in
tend to make stand at any point, and but a short
one at Manassas. 1t is not their intention to en-
gage in pitched battle, but to haHrass US. Beau

LOUISVILLE, June ~.
Ths Constitution of tho Confederate States is
unpopular in Georgia, because Of the absence of a
declaration making three ftths black 3 basis Of
representation. The Augusta Ohrouicls says with
out such basis the Constitution cannot be rsti-
fed. 1t would be unjust to large part Of the
State, placing tie slaveholding portion
still more in the power Of the counties with few
slaves.
The Charleston Mercury of the 28th has letter
from a reliable gentleman at Manassas saying,
"that with the $4,000 men ut that place, there

ammunition, guns without bsyonets, whole COM
panies without caps, cartridge boxes, tents, etc.

unfortunate. With the promptitude Of our police,

We shall fare badly one day. A great fight is not

At Baltimore Gen. Banks appears to
be putting the traitors through course
of sprouts. First, Marshal Kane was
taken home to Fort McHenry, and now
the entire Board Of Police Commission
ers, with single exception, have gone
the same way. The General has no
idea OF permitting the rebels to get in
ahead of time. Clean work is the only
doctrine that will avail anything there.

Progress OF the Pacific TELEGRAPH.

st. LOUIS, june 80.
W. r. Stebbins, general agent of the Missouri
and Western telegraph line, arrived here from
trip on the Plains this morning. The various
trains sent out BY the telegraph companies arc
progressing satisfactorily The first 200 mile sec
ton, beyond Fort kearney, is being constructed
rapidly. The advance trains of the Paci6: com
pany are probably by this time very near Fort
kearney. Mr.. Stebbins reports having met some
two hundred emigrant wagons, bound for Califor-
mia, and four five hundred going to Pixies Peak,
many Of the latter being freight wagons The
California overland emigration is much larger than
it has been any year since 1851.
Mr. Stebbins also reports having met 200 wag-
ons Of Aormons, and that there are about 5000
Mormons still at Florence, the Mormon town, Just
above Omaha, and good many more are yet to
concentrate there. It is confidently expected that
the telegraph line will be completed to California
by the first of December next.
