Lee’s movements. ‘Thoy (theeecesh) claim that Leo’s army now pumbers over one hundred thousand men, notwithstanding the large numbers ho bas spared to reinforce Charleston; that the rebel conscription and Jeff. Davis’ proclamation have had the desired effect in replenishing the rebel ranks; that ‘the French army from Mexico will soon have possession of ‘Texas, while a French fleet will drive the Union vessels from the Miastesippi and Gulf coast, thus opening all the extreme Southern ports to foreign trade, Lee is to ve ‘ground agaih by the way of Strasburg with a part of his force, cross the mountain, at Thoroughiare, Ashby’s and ‘Manassas gaps, and fall upon our rear and flank, while ‘the rest are to move on us by the way of the Rappahan- wock river, Leo's apparent retrograde movement to wards Richmond js only ® cover for his rea) designs.
