Dects to have hi. position SO fortified as to be
able to bid defiance to the enemy in any shape f,
they might choose to come,
Gen. Casey has arrived en- route Tor " ASH
ington. An army letter to the Herald says:
Rebel prisoners say that long before the eSac-
uation Of Corinth, troops from Beauregard's
army began to arrive at Richmond and con. r.
tlpued to arrive steadily until that event took III
place, By which time Sc, 600 had arrived, and tt
that subsequent to the eyacuation IS 800 Hlore 81
arrived from Corinth, and those Is, 600 are the q
flour Of Beau1egard's army; me whole s,3l nun. n
oOO, 600. General Lee has the chief command, | II
and Generals Bcauregard, Johnston and Jack 81
son werc commanders Of the corps under
him. {
n regard to the report Of Gen. Jacksou's /
death, they speak in such I nauner as leads | t
nc to think It is mere ruse. ! lnter from /
what these officers say that the eight forts or
eafthwo1k6 on the north and east OF Klcn- s
mond are not Of any great strenggta They
rely mainly for the defense Of the city upon
Fort Darling, the obstructions and batteries
in the James River, and upon the !, fighting ,g Of
inpossibility for the Union army to take
Richmond either by land or water-on land.
On account Of the number Of troops, and By
water on account Of the defenses ofthe James
! River. Of the latter, Fort Darling is only one.
| Besides this fort, three batteries have also
| been erected, mounted with heayy guns aud
casemated for the protection Of the gunners.
| There are also two submerged iron batteries, |
urcted with the iron batteries by wires, and
so arranged as to explode at any desired i'll
| slant.
As regards The obstructions sunk and |
| driven into the brd Of the river, they are snch
that it will require such T. vast amount OF
time and labor to remove them taat II
can never bc done under the ire OF Their
guns, and no vessel can pass While they rc-
| mau.''
