Rebel prisoners state that long before the evac-
uation of Corinth. troops from Beturegard's army
began to arrive at Richmond, and continued to
arrive steadily till the event took place, by which
time 30 900 had arrived, and subsequent TO the
evacuation, % 900 more had arrived from Cor
NTH, and those 5000 are the flower of Beaure-
CARDS army.
The whole number of troops at Richmond
amounts to fully 100000 Gen. Lee has chief
command, and Beauregard, Johnston and Jack
son were commanders of corps under him.
! / am led To believe that the report of Jack
son death is a mere ruse.
| infer from what these officers say that the
eight forts or earthworks OH the north and east
of Richmond are not OF any great strength.
They rely mainly for the defense of the city upon
| Fort Darling the Instructions and batte les in
James river, and upon the lighting OF their men.
They declare that il is an utter impossibility Tor
| the Union army to take Richmond, either by land
or water-by land on account OF the number ci
troops and 10y water on account of the defenses
of james river OF the latter Fort Darling is
| only one Besides this fort three iron batteries
have also been erected mounted with heavy guns
and casemated for the protection OF the gunners.
| There are also two submerged iron batteries,
each one containing five tons OF powder, con
nected with the iron land batteries by wires, and
SO arranged rs TO explode at any desired instant.
As regards the distractions sunk aud driven INTO
the bed OF the river, they are such that It will
require vast amount OF time and labor to re-
move; that it can never be done under the fire
OF their guns, and no vessel pass while they
! remain.
