STRENGTH OF REBEL ARMIES.
REBELS ArRIgRMsND DlsPIRITsD,
Their l.sbGity 10 Ass~-ss the oRs.save.

A very intelligent young man,a refugee from
RichmouA, VITO hss been thsre through all the
war, and who only succeeded In making his
escape last Monday, has arrived here and COM
municated to the military authorities some In
portant intelligence touching the rebel armies.
In regard to the strength Of their armies, he
says that there lie much misapprehension at the
North. He claims to have good authority for
stating that the strength Of Lees army previ-
Gus to the sending Of the two corps TO reinforce
Bragg did not exceed 6O,000 efficient troops
that Bragg, with these reinforcements had not
over 1000 men, and that he only managed TO
defeat Rosecraus by surprise and attacking
his isolated columns.
He further states that the story Of reinforce
ments having been sent 70 General Lee from
Charleston and elsewhere, IL totally incorrect
That there have been no troops sent to Lee, ex'
cept In the way Of deserters and conscripts
that none Nave returned from Bragg's army
| ind to such straits have the rebel authorities
been reduced, that they are even forcing into
the ranks those persons who have provided
substitutes.
| There was general feeling Of despondenc,
In Richmond, and the fact was freely admitted
that their armies were none Of them suficientl!
strong to assume offensive operations with any
prospect OF success; and that the want Of mel
prevented Bragg from following up his success
and prevents him now from attacking the Fed
eral army at Chattanooga.-Bdh. American.

There are many rumors In circulation con-
csrning the charges preferred against General
Rosecrans, and they are printed as such. Re
sponsible papers, in such case, should avoid
mere rxuors, and state Jaets. On Tuesesy last
weststed . fact concerning Gen. Rosecrans that
should be suficient Of itself to warrant the
present action Of the Government In his case,
namely: that before reiniorce,nents reached
him he advanced from the works Of Chatta-

If the reports published In this city to-day,
sbout Gen. Rosrrrans' conduct In that battle,
are true, he exhibited the greatest degree Of
cowardice. But upon the basis that we do not
believe Gen. Rosecrsns to be coward, 1t fol.
lows thst we do not believe the reports referred
to. We must be In possession of stronger evi
dence than we have yet seen, to make US be

with frequent and rapturous applause.
