ATTACK ON WASHINGTON EXPECTED.
THE REBELS In A TIGHT PLACE.
THEY MUST RETREAT OR FIGHT.
A Battle at Washington their Only Hope
A DISASTROUS DEFEAT IN STORE FOR them.

Special Dtspstch 10 The N. I. Tribune
WASHINGTON, Monday, June 3, 1861.
Tru,tworthy intelligence is to The effect that
the enemy is in motion, and IN attack on our
lines within twenty -four hours is not unlooke,.
for. II is known that the Rebels are in des-
perate situations that the Harper's Ferry troops
ure on the point of being attacked, and Will be
forced, by the cooperating movement OF Gems.
McClernan and Patterson, to retreat. be Gus on
or make a fororn hope OF an attack on th's
city. IL is probable that, if made, 1t Will be on
this side of the Potomac, the foe crossing above
the insrcnchments on Arlington Nights and at
Alexandria, which are too strong to be at
temped. We are ready at all points, vigilant
and sufficient. Col. Burnside ia prepared, with
the Rhode Island Regiment to keep any force
likely to come q. bay for hours, until the arrival
of plenty of assistance.
Notwithstanding the desperate straits Of the
rebels and the strong political advantages of q
brilliant fight, we cannot believe Gen. Lee or
jeff Davis so foolhardy as to venture it with
raw troops in the face of superior numbers.
Neither have they requisite means Of trasPorta-
ton for o body of men large enough to cope
with ours, on any terms. Still, the immense
advantage which the capture of Washington
would give the rebel riugleaders, makes the most
energetic efforts of Government, in the cOncen-
traton Of troops, not only prudent precauton,
but an absolute demand.
There are the most diverse accounts touching
The number Of the Rebel forces at various points
in this vicinity. The Star processes TO have posi-
tive information that the number of Secession
troops at Fairfax Courthouse is 200; at Cen
teryille, coo; at Lees (Fairlax) Station, 800;
az Manassas Junction, from a, 900 to 1000. Some
reports made ct headquarters estimate the mum.
Der Of men ut Fairfax Court House at 200.
Others at not more than company and hall.
Az wide I'm interval in the arithmetic Of persons
direct from other places with respect to those
posted there exists. The ageats of the War De-
partment are little more Trustworthy concerning
numbers than Others.
II is rumored this evening that Harpers Ferry
has been evacuated, and the force hitherto sta
toned there marched southwark as far as Lees
burg. 1t may be true. but l have not traced
the rumor TO any authoritative source.
