attached to it thsn was at first supposed. Ii
the War Department the officials are very

standing the efforts Of the Department {,
keep as Glie5 as possible the extent Of til;

the United States, l. Is known that the Sec
rotary of War has received dispatches iron
General Mcdowell, IN which lie shows ta9
the ii.ibGstgIs are stronger than was at frs
supposed, and that it j. estimated that fullJ
> 90 armed men constitute The party at tn
present time. Mcdowell has about J. 90
available uen. consisting Of parts ot Nv
companies of the First and Sixth Cavalry
Eighth Infantry and Fourth Artillery. Th

fully three d lays for Mcdowell to concentrat
