Especial Dispatch 10 the Chicago Tribnne.1
WAsu1saTox, October 12th, 1851.
Mis- schieycus consequences flow from the
exaggerated estimate prevalent among the
people Of the number Of the Potomac army.
General Mcclellan has not two hundred and
6'ty or even two hundred thousand available
troops. We hare no right to be more specific.
There is probably, also, some tendency to ex-
aggeratiou among the rebels, who=e force
all accounts Of prisoners, deserte1s, and
regrcts represent as very large-much larger
thin ours.
The policy Of Gen. Mcclellan for cautious
AID gradual advance, Is the true one. The
line Ct hills occupied within the last ten days
have been strongly fortified. There will be no
second faDiEg bzck to Washington.
