There figures represent the popular idea at the Nouth ef the strength of their armies; but it fe very pertinent to remark here that shrewd and obnerving Southern men have been known to laugh at their estimates, and intimate they are gross exaggera tions. There are those who should know it, if any do, who say that Jee’s army im Virgiaia has been much over- estimated on both sides, brit moro especially on this, and Insist that, while the total rebel force in Virginin is mot one hundred and fifty thournnd, Lee bar not moro than soventy-five thousand troops ander his iminediato command. Such assertions as these frequently come from sources which should cause grave doubts of tha cor. rectness of the commonly estimated forces of the enemy. but, after all, they may be made on!y with the object of deluding us regarding their real strength. Tho Southern people manifest satisiaction at the pre fent condition of affairs, and appear to be In ao alarm about the future—so say those who have latety beon with hem. They are aware of the disadvantages they fight against; yet the evente of the war haye inspired them with confidence in Jeff, Davis and their generais, and they believe they will succeed. Many men in the #ovth who regardea the prospect at the start as gloomy have now become encouraged, and enter into the war with zeal, = a : wheress they were formerly lukewarm, If we canonly number; but by all accounts they must be twenty or more. | Poi out till spring, then all will be right,’ 14 the ecweors They are located all around the city, and about four | gion of the almost univerral sentiment at the Sonth milos from the suburbs, aud mounted with | ‘tiben,” say they, ‘we will have six hundred and iifty heavy guns, of Buglish make, commanding every ap pronch.

The York River Railroad has been repaired to the White House, and trains occasionally make a trip to that pint. Thie has been done with a yiew to future military opera tions un the peninsula; but no movement has yet been made. Several compauies of cavalry at the White House scout the country between thet point and Williameburg daily, but there is no infantry on the peninsula east of the Chickuhominy, where several battalions have iaicly been building fortideations on the west side, commaudivg the rebuilt ratiroad bridge.
