There is reason to believe that some of
these estimates are too high. We do not
believe Bragg's army numbers fifty thou
sand, unless Johnson's twenty thousand
are included. We doubt il Bsauregard
has thirty thousand, or Holmes aud Price
fifteen thousand. However, be they
more or less, the forces of the latter add
really no strength to the insurgent gov
eminent at Richmond, being cut off by
the Mississippi from any cooperation
with its main armies.
But, let us grant that the total strength
of the rebel armies at the present time is
100000. Richmond journals estimate
that, under the recent proclamation Of
JEFF. Davis, lsvying the CONSUMPTION en-
nlasse upon the white male population, be.
tween the ages OF Is and As, one hundred
thousand men will be added to their ar.
mics in the field. A more careful calcu.
lation, publised q few days since in the
New York World, fixes the number tina,
may be added as follows:
