Through means of t umorous Union sympathisers, onr officers .in Richmond were kept thoroughly versed? in all facts known to.the public there, and through casual remarks of rebel officers oould f.rm satisfactory conclusions. Jaokson’s army has been immensely reinforced lately, and now numbers probably 150,000 men. ' A demolition of Pope is? confidently counted on; and a subsequent attack on Washington and a march into "Maryland are con sidered' a certainty. ‘ Troops have lately poured through Biohmond in surprising numbers. Oyer forty thousand men passed through there, towards Gordonsville, stnoe .the. .sth instant, from Georgia and Mississippi alone, One pieces of artillery were -sent in that direction on Monday night. About 150,000 men are now around and in Richmond; 350,000 men, at least, are in Virginia alone, with from 2 to 300,000 in other por tions of the South. An additional draft of 150,- ? 000 is soon expected to be raised. These men are by no means all disciplined, but are splendid and hardy fighting material., ' Tsey do not qlways make an attaek in good order, but come plunging. along in: enormous masses upon batteries, regard less of gaps opened in their ranks by storms of shot, and often gain their point through sheer, force of numbers and dead weight. ' Jackson left the Peninsula for the Shenandoah Valley on the night of 10th July. .The returned offioers, from their, windows in the liibbey prison, bed good opportunities for. seeing all troops that went in Jaokson’s direction; and also for noticing the materials sent for the construction of the new Merrimab. Her deck plating is nearly all in posi tion, and she is to be ready in ten days for opera-; Rons, with her armament on board. The other two Iron-plated vessels are small,"and in a state of great incipience. They need net excite -present apprehension. ...- Confederate soldiers, as has been hitherto repre sented are. without almost invariably found either without uniforms or very completely equipped.- They arrive in Biohmond from conscription, with' their ordinary clothes, and a blanket. If they have a musket,"they bring it;' if not, one of some kind is found for them,' together with a cartridge bos, and they are ready. Discipline is slaok in many regiments, and soldiers often do not salnto officers. This, however, is not exacted. They will fight ; when needed, and obey orderswlth docility in bat tle. They are banded together firmly in a common' cause, that.of gaining a separation from the North, and perpetuating slavery. They know what they fight for, and are determined. We fight merely to retain them in our grasp, and not against their ini quitous traiiio in human beings. We have bat half a cause, and onr arms will be paralyzed,,tiU we have a whole one. Thus it has been, and thus it will be, till the North has the nobleness, yet merely to fight for itself, but' for others, for the degraded, the humble, and ‘the oppressed. Longstreet, D. Hi Hill, Ewell, and Branch, are' witH Jackson. It is to be hoped that Pope will be a matoh for them, ; and that onr soldiers will bo nerved with the doable ory of Union and Freedom for all !..... Richmond fafrrs. Oar Imprisoned officers engaged In MoClellan’s late retreat, bare been repeatedly surprised by the. truthful description in the Richmond papers, of the notions In which they •were'seyerally concerned, and give the rebels eredij for a candor which their past gasoonadlng'haß not warranted. , . fobt hAKtwu. y , ; This powerful fortification is known In the rebel army as “Drury’s Bluff,” so called from a Major Drury, who was in command of it while attached by the Monitor and Galena. Thei rebels are puislod to knotr why wehave given it the above name. THB FOURTH HEW JERSEY. Certain officers of this regiment criticise severely the’ judgment and ability of Col. .Simpson, their commander; and both they, and many of the men, are highly indignant at the hasty and needless sur render of the regiment. Colonel Simpson was a captain in the topographical engineer corps at the opening of the war, and was;, totally .unaccustomed to manoeuvring men; .and, moreover, though .his bravery is undoubted, his want of presence of mind and ether qualities of a : leader are glaring. Having, been in the, regular army, it was,thought necessary to give huh l a command, and his men were oonse quently ' sufferers.'jgThe Due de Chartres, as aid Ito General McClellan, Informed him that the enemy were fl&nkißg our forces on the left. Instead of charging, he ordered his men to lie down, till the enemy surrounded and took them. By awkward conduct he is said, also, to hare caused 'the loss of the 11th Pen nsylvania Regiment. I give these atatemeats as delivered to mo. SECESSION AFFAIRS. In addition to several pro-slavery “ I.ain’t fight ln’ for niggers” individuals among the lateprison ers, were two avowed Secessionists; a major and a captain, both of-the regular army. Both thought the South could never be aonquered, both thought the North had better let her go, and one, the major, said that if the President had enforced General Hunter’s late proclamation, he would have re signed, and raised a regiment among Northern men, to aid the South. The great majority of the pri soners had become anti-slavery men, and on the delivery of an anti-slavery speeoh one day by Ma jor Birney, of the 4th New Jersey; received him with immense applause. ' The two Secession prison ers left the room during the discourse. The Seces sionist major, moreover, one day on being asked why he fought in the ■Pnlpn',service with his prin ciples, replied that if he had enough'to live on, without his commission, he would not be,in “the thing.” NORTHERN MONEY brings BO to 100 per eent. premium at times over Confederate money in Riohmond.

We expeot to keep moving, ourselves, and tohelpto remove ; some of the obstacles that lie between this and Richmond. The entlr 6-Corps dLAryiee are now in light marching order, the sur plus baggage has been stored or expressed North, and hereafter not army tents Are to be transported. The men will carry with'them an oil-cloth blanket, which forms a shelter tent, and four of these joined together, made an excellent cover for four men. To oap the olimax, the division is under orders to march at three hours! notice. Short, quick, heavy blows, by appearances, are to be struck, and when once commenced, will be Continued, until , the Old Dominion is forever.freed from the footsteps of the oppressor. If tho loyal men of the North hasten the enlist ments!,* fill up the regiments, and send thereinforoe ments speedily, the end of.the rebellion is not as far distant’ as some would suppose it to be. Leave the old regiments to be filled up to their full standard. Leave tbo new ones to do the garrison duty until properly disciplined, and the, result will ba’inafew , words, “ Crush them to the wall.’! The means are at hand, supply them —“ reinforcements.” ' One great source of hindrance to recruiting is, that al most every man who enlists, or speaks of enlisting, must be promised a position before he will be mus tered in. All want to be offioers, and it’s a little, as the boy said’, “ There’s where the devil lays,” when daddy Was under jbe load of hay." You askaman to enlist, and the answer is, “What position will, you givo mo?” This state of affairs; must :cease, and that very shortly, or some who are now expect ing to sport the bars will be directed by President Lincoln to' step up to the' captain’s office, and," thenceforth, they will rank as high privates in the rear rank. . i'i.'i To prevent accidents, a system-of signals is in use in all of the regiments of this division; The. flag is. used by day and the, signal? cartridge by night., Should the weather be foggy, other means are used to discern friend from foe, and, in the. hands of experienced operators, no: mistake';can possibly occnr.

Regardless of hie enemies, Go.yernor'Johnson has pursued a course', necessarily resulting in’ the triumph of a sentiment which will produce the most intense gratification among all who love, the country and cherish institutions. , At' pre sent, the Union people of Shis oity' may well feel proud. . A great change has taken place, in Nash ville'since the first of July. Loyal people now hold up their heads, while disloyal citizens antici pate, if not absolutely'.realize, a sneaking ex istence! ■. " , ,■ For four months the Governor endeavored'to create a reunion by acts of a'semi.-conciliatijig : nature! Hi was moat lenient, indeed', toward’a ~ certain class, consisting .of professional, men and mechanics, who had in momtn'e of delusion en listed in the rebel cause, while suohleading, wicked men as Harding, Overton,' and others, he made feel the judgment ef an outraged Government. But a large number of the people ef'Nashville, who, it was supposed, would immediately renounce their bad faith and return to their allegiance, took advantage of the leniency and oharity of the mili tary Governor of Tennessee,-and committed, if pos sible, baser acts than ever, and diligently toiled to prevent the co-operation of a few good men with.the military authorities . In this 'category i may name newspaper men; doctarSjof .divinity, law, and me-. dicine; merchants, manufacturers, and mechanics; and a: dirty crowd of dotostable politicians, who were, filling their pockets by pressing young men.; into the ranks of the rebel army. This crowd, as I remarked above, for four months empioyed all means to thwart any anticipated success of the State officers. .. But suddenly they have been- brought up with a round turn. All of the prominent ministers of the gospel, who have preached treason from the pulpit, have been placed in confinement; many, of the'me dical fraternity hare been imprisoned for tho same crime; no lawyer is permitted to practice unless he subscribes to. the. oath of allegianoe; merchants, manufacturers, andmechanics must, to eDjoy un conditioned facilities' for trade,- acknowledge their allegiance, and give bonds for the faithful perform anee of their duties as honest citizens, and the small' fry traders about town, who are utterly worthless— financially, socially, < morally,; intellectually, and., religiously—areabmpelled to abstain from uttering' sentiments of treasonable construction; while mostof the newspaper phalanx who werein the employ of the traitors have sunk into a* miserable ‘obscurity. 1 I have faithfully, watched the acts of the Governor and their-infiuencetupon the people, and it Is with unbounded pleasure I am enabled to inform you that tb e Union cause in Davidsoh county Is approxi mating a right standard Of things, and Governor Johnson cannot , bo too highly appreciated for this brilliant.state of affairs. * ...

But Governor Johnson grants ino such favors. Some of his female visitors* leave him in a very 'indignant manner, and are* foolish ehohgh. tnthmk‘he Is hurt by it.' ,As re-- gards their disfoyalty, itis chiefly confined to brain less young ladies, just commencing to wear'long' dresses, who think they are fully developed in'all ; particulars in consequence; and who know no more about the antecedents of the rebellion than a jaok ass does about the reciprocity treaty. This Class of demireps, however, give the Governor no trouble. 'He, like all men ©f sense, knows that ribbons and nonsense are woman’s prerogative. : As an assistantin the performance of the onerous duties of the; Governor, Col. William A.

It is a notorious fact that .many of our. officers take great . pleasure in running around' .with noted Seoeseionists.

At the different periods of their enlistment the prospectß of the army of the Con federacy were darkened and being overshadowed by a aeries of mishaps, blunders, and military misadventures. The cause so dear to every true andbrave Southron was, to all outwsrxl appearances, waning, and needed renewed energies'and unmistakable popular manifestations of per sonal bravery and individual sacrifices. The Cali for fresh troops, increased energies, and re doubled exertions, was promptly responded to by yonr petitioners, as volunteers in the army, of the Confederate ‘States. At that critical juncture of the affsira-of the country, neither ypur petitioners nor the public had any idea.of the passage of Act.
