is generally expected that they will endeavor to carry our works by assault to morrow and gobble or cut to pieces our army. We shall be ready for them at daylight, and do not doubt our ability to repulse every effort they may make. Their force is placed at from twenty five to thirty thousand men. General Beauregard commands, and Bush rod Johnson has their left wing. The gunboats under Admiral Lee have been shelling the rebels engaged in building a battery on one of the bluffs of the James river, about a mile and a half from our lines. Thus far they have not succeeded in their efforts to drive them from their work and it is feared that to- morrow they will have their guns in position, commanding the river and of annoyance to our lines. Lieut Col Carpenter, of the 112th New York, has died of his wounds received in the battle of Monday beyond the Halfway House.

Will he follow closely in McClellan's footsteps, and making the York his base, advance directly upon Richmond by the line of the railroad? By pursuing this course he will come full in front upon our system of fortifications, the most tremendous this side of Sebastopol, which even in their imperfect state proved too hard for McClellan. Will he try the James river as a base, leaving Butler on the other side; or will he bring that hero over to this? These are questions which, no doubt, have already suggested themselves to his mind, and which we have just as little doubt he is as unable to answer as we are.

So much for the truth of the New York Herald. It further says, in its
