To rzR EpIroRs OF TEE LEADER The con-

RELY upon rumOrs, however, the rebel lines
are gradually nearing our own. Pablo e1'
pectatiOn points confidently to = great battle
almost Immediately, and as It Is well known
here that the co~uspirasors are In absolute
! need of eommissary stOres-to so great an e1-
tent indeed that & meeting is strongly threat
sued by the half starved soldiery-it Is
believed that their desperate situation viii
tarce them into q collision. The number
of troops at the immediate disposal Of Beau
reqard.no at Manassas Junction, is variously
estimated ct from 5000 to $4,000. The
truths probably nearer the latter thar the
former figure. Our own force in Washing
ton and Its neighbOrhood, so disposed that
Il could be made available In the event OF a
great engagement cannot be less taan $4,000
we'll drilled and efficiently armed troOPs-in'
GLIDING a full regiment of cavalry and two
batteries Of light artillery.
It has transpired here that the disuniOnists
had decided upon attacking Washington at
daybreak this Saturday morning. As they
have not done 50, the probability is that the
attack will be made within a day or two
Fortunately our defences are Of the strongest
character, and I think that little if any
t dangers to the capital need be apprehendeC
II as the issue Of an assault.

deserves the earnest admiration ofhis country
le men, Andrew Johnson is the man. No
P should we forget the many other brsv
sr spirits who have labored with him-if ther
n IS no other reward for them, they will 9

IN William D. Gala her Of Kentucky, hs
It. been appointed Coll, Tor If the Port OF Ne
ifs Orleans. Mr.. GallagIg viii leave this cit
i, on Monday morning ext o join our forc'
at Cairo-though d. not think bis presenC
there will indicate an immediate progressive
nj movement. Nevertheless, his appointmel
l. is significant of the design Of the Governmel
:. ment TO re-assert It's authority in the lengl
and breadth Of the land. The appointmeI
is also an eminently proper one-Mr. Ga
il laeher being Of true blood Of Kentucky,
,r, true disciple of her patriotic citizens OF pa
years.
There is q great deal ofindignation amor
az, our army officers here at the restoration
ns. the traitor Major Emory, of Maryland, to u
isl regular service. The act Is not fully undo
stood; although 1t Is known that Mr.. Lincol
dictated the appointment. 1t is gratfyil
70 know that the Senate will have sn G
OF portunity of showing its disapproval OF su
i, n a glarinR Yrong-and We doubt they will
It.
Jas. E. Harvey, the traitor diplomat
ur- seems decided, is not to be recalled. One
the members OF the Cabinet indeed says Il
nth Mr.. Harvey has "don ne nothing which q

help our loyalty if such is the fact.
o. The members of both House are beginni
be to flock hither. The speakership and Gle

animating topics OF talk with respect TO
organization. Col. Frank Blair, or Grow
MY Pa, will undoubtedly be chosen for
Ill former, while it seems probable thatthe che

most likely be chosen, from many patric
considerations. A. +
