THE REBEL ARMY.

We snve ihe following Information az to the
rebel ermy on the Rappahaonock:
Our informant, a man Of good judgment, and
who saw the enemy's forces cross from the Rap
idan TO the Rsppshannock, estimates that the
whole Confederate army opposed TO Pope is under
100000. He was surprised, however, by the ex.
tent Of their artillery and transportation and the
gsneral good condition Of the troops.
Our informant overheard the Confederate Of
fcers expressing much vexation that Pope escaped
them They said that but for fGrne nisunder-
standing shout orders they would have nabbed
him, and that they osEht or Sunday to Aare been
-ehers they tcere on Tuesday,. Pope's activity In
evsding them caused their plan to turn out fall
We anaIly.
In The opinion Of our informant, Jackson has
quietly slipped away TO some new field Of opera
lions, and the demonstrations made by the Con-
federates along the Rappahannock within the last
few days have been mere feints to &" amuse' Us
while he steals OF to strike an unexpected blow
There has been no firing since Saturday night,
wien there was some cannonsding between Sigel
and the enemy at w atefloc, on the Rappahan-
neck, near the White Sulphur Springs Since
then the enemy has been suspiciouslv quiet, and
are quite evidently at some new scheme Of mis-
chief.
The Confederate cavalry, In their late dash
within our lincF, stopped at the Warren Green
Hotel, In WarentoD, and took tea, registering
-teir names, &c with cool iInpudcnce, on Thurs
day evening, while on their way 70 Catlett's Sta
tcn. They were enthusiastically received In
'7arIe1ioa by the dlsloyal portion Of the citizens
: leg reiUIned by the same route, carrying with
them some 800 horfes and q number Of prisoners

u Greeley, who is evidently a. tickled
CO, with two tails, with the idea Of being en-.
gag,d In a controversy with the President Of the
United States, has q reply to President Lincoln's

Arguments, but In less offensive terms, and signs

the twenty millions" doubtless feeling little
ashamed of the ridiculous arrogance Of his pre-

SUSPEND OPINIoN.-The special DISPATCHES
to the Chicago Tribune which so SANDER tire e
regiments OF Ohio Iroops-and VIII oh dis.
patches are used second hand by paper of
this city as original-are not entitled TO the
least particle OF credence The bravery of
Ohio troops should not be laid under suspi.
cion from SANDERS of sensation correspond.
ent who is hired to laud Illinois troops and
tradueS all others. Since writing the above
we notice that the correspondent of the Gin
cmnati l INES denies the charge against Ohio
troops in toto. He says
The facts in the case are as follows :-"The
53d ONO, in common with the 48th, 10Th, 72d
ard 51th, occupied the main centre, almost
fronting the road to Corinth. Skirting all
their camps was deep ravine, the banks OF
which were covered with a dense growth of
scrub oak. From this the enemy suddenly
appeare in vast numbers immediately in the
camps OF our forces AT the time OF the at
TACK many OF the men were cooking their
breakfasts, and none Of them were ut all in
expectation OF the arrival of the foe. 1t was
at this time, when other regiments made an
effort to get into line and return the fire of the
enemy, that it was said on the field that the
nifty third had retired to the second line of our
forces without discharging their guns No
other charge was made against them Than is
embodied in these words. All of the above
named regiments were forced to seek posi-
ton on the second line, making either more
or less resistance as they did so, their efforts
being altogether controlled by the time afford
cd them IN the suddenness OF the attack to
seize Their arms and get into line"
