There is occasional skirmishiBg going on

New York, June 19-ref1geeis from Rich
moud direct states that the rebels estimated
their army Of Richmond at $50. .000; that it
cannot amount to less than $50 600; that
though largely made up Of conscrfpts, it Is
well disciplined and effective, and has un-

great and substantial triumph. With these

| Manassas was accepted as splendid military
operation, notwithstanding the lass which 1t

the yalne of two millions OF dollars.
Tie rcbels still incline to the da11sion that
their rebel armies have only temporarily aban-
doned such places as New Orleans, Norfolk,

nond. The rebel leaders are fully aware,
bowcge1, that all their deceptions Of military
strategy will be exposed with the loss Of Rich

Of their followers.

city he saw some Notwithstanding boxes
and packages for transportation, marked
