The RebeI Ann I'd YorIZtoTn,


The Rebel Army at Y0rkEOWn,
The correspondent Of the New York
World writes: aiE.t aH13E
It is now ssosrtained beyond doubt that
the rebel forces are under the command Of
Generals johnson, Lee and Magruder,
whose combined strength must be between
one hundred and twenty and one hundred
and fifty thousand men. The disposition
Of this force probably is as follows.
Gen. Joseph E. johnson commands the
centre, defending the approach to Rich
mond with sixty thousand men; Gen. J.
Bankhesd MsgrUd ef the right wing, fac.
ing the FeOr and IL .lrenched at Yorktown,
with fifty thousand, while Gen. Robert Lee,
with 9 force Of fOl 'ty or fifty thousand on
the left wing, protI cts sD attempt to enter
Richmond By q faE X movement on the ex-
IRENE left. II this be the disposition Of
their forces, the de velopment Of General

Gen. J. D. Cox is winning golden opin-
ions from his countrymen by his gallan-
try on the field, andby the admirable dis
cipline and efficiency of the soldiers I'M
der his command.
The Cleveland Leader says:
Gen. Cox's Kanawha veterans are the
subject of especial encomium on all
hands, for their determined and unfiinch-
ing eallantry before the enemy in Mary
land, In the series of battles which have
taken place during the last ten daysthey
had their full share 10 do. and most he
r~oicaIly did they do it. Six Ohio regl-
ments are embraced in the division-the
IIth, 18th. 23d. 2Sth, 3lst and Seth.
The correspondent of the \. Y Tri-
bune, who was present on the field at the
late desperate battle of Antietam, and
was an eye witness of that which he de-
scribes, says
The first Provisional Brigade, Of Cox's
division. Gel. Z. P. Scammon, were about
the first that met the enemy. As our
men advanced the enemy charged upon
them. They were two brigades of North
Carolina troops. Our men stood firm to
receive them; but the enemy halted be-
fore the lines of bavonets and seemed IN
certain what to do. Our soldiers were
now ordered to charge the rebels. and
epringing forward, large numbers of the
enemy were bayoneted, and, unable 10
stand the rushing charge, fell back IN
---EFz- fTs-z,.. lafs s-oe rr1rnnn and
sixteen prisoners captured in this, one Of
the most brilliant charges ever made.
The position which Gen'l. Cox and his
division held so longin the Kanawha val
ley, although one in which there were
few laureis TO be won, and which
was exceedingly irksome both to General
Cox and the soldiers under his command
has proved to be a very important one,
and more dangerous than it was supposed
to be during the latter part of It's oc-
cupency by Gen. Cox's troops. All
seemed quiet in the Kanawha, and Gen.
Cox with the greater portion of his COM
mand, was ordered TO the Potomac to join
McCleIlan's army, but scarcely had the
las; echoes of the tramp Of his soldiers
died away among the hills of the Kama
wha, before the rebels appeared in force,
attacked the feS scattered troops station
ed at different points along The valley,
drove all. before them, captured many
prisoner, took an immense quantity OF
stores, ammunition, arms, wagons, &c,
and possessed themselves Of the long COW
etel salt works. The Importance of the
position, and the fact that Gen. Cox and
his forces were Of the highest value 10 the
country while defending the Kanhawa, IS
new evident TO all, and those who once
sneered at his apparent inaction, may
make q note of the present state of things,

Louisville Menaced by Bragg.

The telegraph Of Tuesday morning
brings "a the stirring intelligence that
General Bragg, with probably his entire
command is rapidly pressing forward to
Louisville, and was on Monday afternoon
within forty-eight hours march Of that
city. lie had notified the military au-
lhorities there TO remove the women and
children, SO that there can be no doubt
of his approach and bat little Of his in
t~ent;ons. General Buell., with probably
the greater portion al his command, IS
said to be only a few hours march behind
him. In the meantime, General Nelson
is making eyery possible effort for defense
and the military authorities are confident
offs favorable result. What the force Is
at Louisville we are unable 10 say but II
most be considerable, composed mainly
of Chic and Indiana troops. With Buell.
close in his rear, and L sufficient force at
Louisville, we shall be surprised # Bragg
Is not utterly discounted.

From what I have seen Of artillery

one hundred years hence, what will be
