POSITIONS AND DESIGNS. Wasbno-
ton correspondent Of the New York Times e;ves
the following: Reliable information Shove
that Gen. Longstreet has reinforced the army
now collected at Petersburg, near Richmond
with at least one division Of the veteran troons
recently in Mcclellan front Gen, Longstreet
will have command Of the army now MOVING
from Petersburg to the attack Of Suffolk, with
the ultimate intention Of recapturing Norfolk,
Prominent sympathizers in this city, who have
been uniformly well posted, assert that Gen,
Lee has accomplished everything for which his
recent campaign was undertaken, and that his
army will risk no general engagement on this
side Of Richmond. They have now collected
and sent to the great granaries south of the
Rappahannock all the vast cereal and other
productions of the Virginian yalleys-their
pork and beef are in great part cured with
the salt obtained in the Kanawha Salines and
elsewhere; and thus munitioned, they will re-
tire leisurey, as the Federal army advances,
through country stripped Of all food and sup-
plies.
Maj. Gen Dix was here On Thursday, and
returned Friday evening to his command He
is strong in the belief that Longstreet's army
at Petersburg is merely the vanguard CT an
immense attack to be made upon his lines, at
Yorktown and Fortress Monroe lie considers
that tn capture Of Suffolk, even with Norfolk
thrown in, would not justify SUCH immense
preparations as have been making at Peters
burg. His impression seems TO be chat while
Gen. Lee is amusing Mcclellan by SINAI! rear
guard, spread over a large surface Of country
in the region Of Winchester, the main bulk Of
the army is being withdrawn cow: the 'alley

Of then marching against Fortress Monroe
