NEW I DIRK, June ~. An intelligent Union
refugee furnished the Herald with important and
interesting information of affairs in Richmond,
from which place he made his escape few days
since. He states that since the appointment of
Lee as General-n- Chief nearly the whole army
has been concentrated near Richmond, even re-
calling some regiments sent against Burnside.
The conscription act is rigiGly enforced, con-
scripts being placed in the ranks of old regiments
in the field. jeff. Davis is hated by the army
as stubborn, self willed tyrant, and Beaure-
gard has lost prestige, though they still hold to
tho delusion OF q rebel victory at Shiloh.
! The Southern papers praise the exploits of the
guerllas especially the fact OF their not taking
any prisoners. If these guerillas capture any
Northern troops they are led into the woods, a
few shots are heard and the statement made
that the Yankees were paEoled. There are from
400 to 500 persons In prison in Richmond,
charged with disloyalty to the South. The ne
groes are daily growing more openly insubordl-
nate and the burning Of the city is by some
considered certain. W lille the rebels estimate
their army around Richmond at 100000 men,
it cannot amount to less than $50, 900. This
army, though largely made up of oonscripts, is
we'll disciplined ana effective, and has unbound
ed confidence in Gen. Joseph f. Johnston.
The rebel soldiers still believe that the tide
s will be tnrned against Gen. Mcclellan. and then
the war will be carried across the Potomac into
MARYLAND and the North. The army Of Johns
: ton is constantly receiving achievements, and
he expects to hold our armv IN check until the
s impatience OF England and France in reference
i to southern cotton and tobacco shall result in
It br,noine those nations to the rescue. The reb-
= els still cling to the delusion that their rebel
r armies have only temporarily abandoned snch
places as New Orleans, Norfolk Nashville. and
y Memphis.
