The Armies on the Potomee, According to the most reliable aecounts, the hostile armies now feeing each vtber on the Potomac, aumber not tess then 200,000 men each. George Wilkes, iu etetter to the Union, gives the number of Federal truops at 250.000, but in this estimate be probably includes the troops a Fortress Mouroe, at Baltimore, sud other places, which could not be brought inte aetion in case a graud battle is fought ia the ueighborhoud of Washington, The available force at the disporal of each of the oppor ing commanders will probably not vary far from 200,000 men, and it is bardly probable that two such immense armies wil! be kept idle for any great length of time. We canuot of course form any opinion as to tae precixe time a battle may be fought, or the exact lwoulity that may be selected ; bat we may look for a general engagement before many weeks somewhere between Lresturg and Aquila creek, which will be decivive one way or the other, If the rebels are defeated and their army dirorganized, they would not be able to offer any further resistance of a formidable character tou the Government ; but on the cther hand, should they gain a decided victory, it would give them such credit and importance that they would eventually succeed in di-rapting the nation, The war may go on for years, and the Gevernment may be able to retain what are now known as the border Staten; but if the first campaign closes with a brilliant vietory for the Confederater, the chances are a hundred to one that the Gulf States will never again be brought under the Federal rule. cisco, He is } anh collect and receipt for een ae st ae: 1 EO ENR THURSDAY BVENENG, OCT. 31, 1861.
