New YORK, June 10.
A refugee, from Richmond direct, states
that the rebels estimated their army Of Rich
mond at 10000. 1t cannot amount to less
than 100000, and, though largely made up
Of conscrpts, is we'll disciplined and atfec-
tive, and has unfounded confidence in Gen.
10. Johnston and the rebel soldiers still
believe that the tldo will turn against Gen.
Mcclellan, and then war will be carried
across the Potomac into Maryland and the
North. The army Of John ston is consta ntly
receiving reinforcements, and he at least ex-
poets to hold our army in check until the i'm
patience Of England and France in reference
to Southern cotton and tobacco shall result in
bringing those nations 10 the rescue.
The abandonment of Manassas was consid-
cred very serious disaster to the rebel cause,
until Northern organs made it manifest that
Johnston had achieved in that evacuation a
great and substantial triumph. With these
Northern representations the evacuation of
Manassas was accepted as splendid military
operotion, Notwithstanding the loss which it
involves to the rebels of military stores to
the value of $2,000,000.
The rebels still incline to tho delusion that
their rebel armies have only temporarily
abandoned such places as New Orleans, Nor
folk. Nashville and Memphis, until the veil is
lifted from their eyes with our occupation of
Richmond. The rebel leaders are fully aware,
however, that all their deceptions of military
strategy will be exposed with the loss Of Rich
mond, and hence their desperate efforts and
labors to hold it.
They can never explain their retreat from
or defeat at Richmond to the satisfaction OF
their followers This refugee says that be-
fore leaving that city he saw some mysterious
looking boxes and packages for transporta.
ton, marked Tuscaloosa, Ala, via Mont.
gomery," from which it may be inferred that
the rebel leaders, in anticipation of retreat
are sending off some of their government OF
personal valuables TO that out-ofthe-w J
place. -
