Gen. Lees position it is now supposed is
in the valley between the Blue Ridge and
Bull Run mountains, his centre being
last week ct or near Thoror ghlare Gap.
Hooker lies between him and Washington
NEAR Centreville in position to give the rebels
battle should they come down this side of the
Bull Run mountain in his front. or should
they advance up the valley towards Leesburg,
either u fall on their rear o., TO swing his
army round still keeping between them and
Washington. Long5treet's division Of Lees
army was said to he advancing towards
Leesburg and \. P Hil's division towards
Dumfries, pro- ably from Culreper. If cor
rectly reported this would indicate that the
rebels propose to try the tactics Of our gene
rails and attack Hooker ar three points at
once. But little is Pos'rCe'y known or
stated, however about the position or move
ments Of either army. Evidently there will
he a collision before long. after which it is
to be hoped the ANXIOUS public will be per
mitted to hear something about the results.
The Herald's Baltimore correspondent AYERS
ION the best authority that all the move
ments of the rebels into Pennsylvania and
around Harper's Ferry are but feints, intend
ed if possible to draw the Federal forces as
far that way az possible, when Lee will push
across the Potomac few miles above Wash
ington and attack the city from the northern
side. He will no doubt do Just that thing #
he can, but we think Hooker and the Army of
the Potomac viii prove a lion in his path. \
very little while will determine the matter.

The CHARLESTON BLOCKADE. The follow
ing extract Of letter shows that the squad
ron of Charleston Is making blockade run
ming a hazardous business
Perhaps it may be gratifying To know
what the .quadron of Charleston have done
in the past month and it may serve 10 con-
vince many who doubt the efficiency Of the
blockade, that it has done a good work.
During the month. four vessels attempting o.
run out have been captured. three steamers
sunk and two turned hack. One of tLc
prizes was taken hy the Powhattan, one by
the FLAG. and two hv the Canandai- qua. One
steamer was sunk by the Housatonic. one by
the Wissihickon. and one by the Stettin,
which also turned back two that had already
crossed the bar. and as the Gen. llavelpck
one dark night ran past her. shot away her
smoke stack. killing three men and wound
IN two more, and. as the southern papers
say. materially iniurinS her This little
steamer has been particularly fortunate in
taking prizes, and annoying the enemy. The
General Hayelock. it l. stated, II is the only
vessel that has successfully passed the block
AIDE thi, month The-e facts show that the
greatest vigilance is kept up That a vessel
viii occasionally PASS them must ne booked
for a. a matter Of course but that a good

There is good deal of fault found with
Gen. Milroy for not longer defending himself
at Winchester, where he had l0, 600 men he
hind Entertainments against the rebels Is 900
If the fortifcatiOns are 50 placed that heights
around command them, as is intimated by
some, perhaps Gen Milroy Is not to be blam-
cd so much as those who put forts in so indie
fensible spot. The heavy loss which Gen.
Milroy reported of over 1000, is reduced to
about 200, 100 having come in who had
been surrounded and cut of on the march.
but escaped by side road.
\ Lieutenant of battery engaged at
Winchester says that when the order to spike
the guns and evacuate was given, there were
but twenty rounds of ammunition left, and
no chance to get more. 1t argues lack of
foresight in the commander that so important
a place should have only ammunition for
one day's engagement.
