THE REBELS At MANASSAS.
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND sraoua.
10000 CAVALRY. 100 CANNON.

Special Dspsch to The N Y Tribune from an Occasional
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, March 9, 1862
The following statement Of the strength and
disposition of tho Rebel forces opposed to the
Union army of tho Potomac, I have tho best
reason for saying, was perfectly accurate -four
days ago. Changes have very probably oc.
CURED since; but tho main facts must still
correspond with the figures which / proceed
to give you.
At Centreville. which is now the strong
point Of tho Rebels, there are 5000 infantry,
II, 900 cavalry, and l2O pieces Of cannon, light
and heavy.
Behind tho batteries, along the Potomac,
there arc from 1900 to $1,000 men.
At Gum Spring, between Leesburg and
Centrevile, there are three regiments of in.
fantry, with q squadron of cavalry.
At Leesburg. there are three regiments Of
infantry, one battery, aud 400 cavalry.
At . point five miles south Of Brentsyille,
that is to say, some ten miles south of Manas.
sas, there is one brigade Of infantry Of $500
men.
These forces do not include any part Of
Jsckson's army forming the Rebel left wing
against which Gen. Banks is operating.
At Manassas there is not single full regi
ment, whole companies. and even regiments
having gone homo on furloughs Of ton, twenty
and thirty days.
All of tho troops from South Carolina, NORTH
Carolina, Tennessee and Louisiana, have gone
home within the past two or three weeks
Very few of the men whose term OF service
has expired are re-enlisting.

royal lady, the office in the Cars ministry
might prove a stumbling block.
Prince Augusta of Scheswig- HOlstein, born
February 81, 1874, the eldest daughter OF
Prince Frederick of Schleswig- Holstein Son
derburg-G lucksburg, stands sixth on the list
The princess is known to be very amlable and
of charming manners; but her father, unfor-
tunately, is mixed up greatly in that never
ending still-beginning Schleswig Holstein en-
broglio, over which the Teutonic nightmares
have been lowering these thirty years ana
longer With Ireland on our heads and the
spirit-rappings of the ghostly eastern ques-
ton the Scheswig-Holstein connection GER
tainly appears undesirable.
THE DESTINED CoNsORT.
There then remains only one more candidate
to complete the list of the sacred seven prin-
cesses. This last royal lady is the one whom
rumor points out as the destined consort of
our future king, princess Alexander of Den
mark. Her royal highness was born Decem-
Der LIST, 1874, and is the second child and eld-
est daughter of prince Christian of Schleswig
Holstein, heir eXpectant to the throne of
Denmark and of princess Louise of Hesse-
Cassel. She is described as very accomplish
ed as well as gifted with no inconsiderable
share of physical beauty, standing second
only in the latter respect to the far-famed
princess OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. The
union seems desirable in all respects, except
the one that prince Christian is as deeply in
volved in the Schleswig- Holstein maze as his
elder brother Frederick. He has shown,
however, either more wisdom or more ambi-
ton by taking the Danish side, and as recon-
pense was elected in 1853 to be the successor
of king Frederick VII. The friends of
prince Christian assert that he is aiming at
something far higher than even the throne of
Denmark, and that it is not unlikely he will
one day bear on his brow the title crown of
new empire of Scandinavia.
But these are matters not needed to recon-
mend fair princess Alexandra to the notice of
the British public, though the rumor of her
selection as the bride of the prince of Wales
has already put the diplomacy Of one half of
Europe in movement, created immense ex-
element at Berlin and st. Petersburg, and
caused panic among the Jews at Hamburg;
who have been specializing in Schleswig-Hol-
stein scrip. Here we only ask that our flu
ture queen should be Protestant, her hus-
bands own free choice, and not entangled
with burdensome political obligations-and
all these recommendations, with beauty SUI
peradded, seem to meet in the princess.
