From washington.

The intelligent correspondent of the Chicago
Tunes writes as follows from Washington under
date of the 18th, in regard 70 the strength Of the
Confederate army upon the Potomac and designs
of Gen. BEAUREGARD and tlenecessity ofrestoring
the Union feeling at the South:
The Southern military leaders are impressed
with the belief that il is no part of Gen. McClel
lan's plan to have a great and decisive battle
fought in the neighborhoOd of W Washington. They
have somehow got the impression that, in Gen.
McClelIans opinion, a battle near Washington
would involve too great risk to the safety of the
Federal capital, and that il is his policy u attack
them at other points, and at so many other points
all at the same time that they will have TO with
draw good portion of their army from MaIlas
sas Holding these views, they are determined
that one great battle shall take place near Wash
ington, and that part of Beauregard's army OF
the Potomac shall be withdrawn until such bat
tie has been fought / believe, however, that
when the great advance does take place there viii
be as hard blows given and taken at CenterviIle
as at any other point. The idea that any portion
of Beanregard's army of the Potomac has been
or will be Withdrawn for the defence Of any other
point, is entirely fallacOus and is not entertained
at all i'm web informed military circles here. IL
is the opinion of the best Informed military men
here that the CoBfederatearmy of the Potomac
Is quite as strong numerlcZ-fE as ours, that their
arms and clothing are good ours and their
officers rs experienced. The result OF the bat
tie, then, when it is fought, may well be
watched with the most intense interest. Per
haps it is not too much to say that il viii de-
eide the fate of the war.
You aware how uBmindful both houses Of
Congress have been, up 10 this time, of the only
object they ought b have before them, namely:
the providing of means 20 carry ON the war; and
that the time Of Congress is wasted in frivolous
chatter about every other subject under heaven
Ii is now that Illinois misses her great departed
Senator Were he now alive, he would ask why
il is that Congress is doing nothing 20 encourage
the Union feeling in the Southern States. He
would show that our fleets and our armies may
conquer and subjugate the Southern States but
that it Is a revival of Union sentiments At the
South thar alone can restore 20 US our country as
il was. He would expose the designs Of the Abo-
litionists. who wish TO conquer the South only TO
