said to have realized much larger sum Of
money. The report that the parties are nego-

pellei to encounter at some point on the
route to Richmond, General Lee himself,
self, o. at all events, that dashing Artillery
Officer: so well known to the frequenters OF
Newport, John Bankhead Magruder.
Tie defense of the York River will pro-
bablv-be entrusted to General Beauregard,
who Eill enter upon the duty con amore. -
In th! opinion of Major Anderson, Beaure-
gard is soldier of infinite resources, and
equalto almost any emergency.
Nc, it is readily to be inferred from
Gen. sScott's well known caution that he
weaii not dream of making movement
upon Richmond, by the three routes above
described, with less than $4,000 troops
90, Go for the Valley route, 20, 900 for the
Ale. .ndra route, and at least 10, 900 for
Yorklsivcr An additional force of at least
5,O0Ae en- would be required to hold Briga'
dier General Rugglcs.( late of Massachusetts,
in check, at Fredericksburg-making 55.'
900 n all To keep 50, 900 in the field
and 20 900 more for the defense of Washing
ton, or total of 65 900, would require the
enlis.ment of at least 10000 men-for ou
of elry regiment, 200 are usually on the
sick list For interesting details on this
poins the curious reader is referred to Glib
bon'a delightful Memoir Of his own Life
for. Gibbon was soldier as well as histo
rian, and by his actual experience Of caml
life among the British Volunteers in th'
county of Kent, derived much valuable in
formation which he turned to good accoun
in Lss Decline and Fall of the Roman En-
pirez
Let us suppose that these 90, 900 men ar
actually mustered in, armed and equipped
and that they advance on Richmond, an
after at least three pitched battle, to sa
nothing of minor skirmishes, succeed il
reaching it-what then ? It will be tim
enough to answer this question on the At
of Jlly."

THE INVASION OF VIRGINIA.

A correspondent of the New York Er-
press gives the following in relation to the
invasion Of Virginia by the forces of the
United States -
"What, then, is likely to be the issue of
the threatened invasion of Virginia by the
U. S. Government To be efectual at all,
this invasion must be made from three
points viz, from Alexandria via Culpeper
and Greenville to Richmond, overland -
From the Chesapeake via the York River
to the same city, and from Harper's Ferry
or the Point Of Rocks. up the Valley Of
Virginia to Staunton, Charlottesville and
Lynchburg the force thus employed to CO.
operate, as circumstances may require, with
the other invasions Of the grand army.
To oppose such invading forces, Gen.
Lee, as have the best reasons for believing
will place troops at West Point on the York
River, 27 miles below Richmond, with large
