The Topography around Washington Po sition of the Confederate Forces, j We are indebted to the Richmond Examiner tor tse following description of the position of the Confederate forces, at Munson's Hill and other prominent points in the vicinity, copied by that jjaper from the New York Post : - - : - . : j ' mcs son's HILL. ' ! ' v. Muns ol Hill is naturally a strong position, and Is especially so for the rebels, who are at that poirt, only four miles distant from the railway leading straight fo Manassas Junction and Richmond. Munson's Hill is about three and a half miles, as the Crow flies, from Fort Corcoran and Arlington House. It is four andja half miles from the Long Bridge due west and not - more than three from Fort Albany. So far as an at tack upon our fortifications is concerned, the occupa tion of Munson's Hill is of uo importance. Itis utter ly impossible for them to bombard Forts Corcoran 4r Albany from M unsou's Hill with any effect. So faf, but two guns are mounted on the hil, and the fortifi cations are simple breastworks thrvvn up on the to of the hill. The guns re not heavy, and the works upon the hill do not yet indicate anything more seri ous than the entrenchments which were dug at Fair fax Court-House and Gentreville, previous to the ad vance of theTFederal army at Stone Bridge. Future movements may quickly change the aspect of affairs, but at present there is certainly no good evidence that Beauregard intends to attack our lines of fortification. Several rebel regiments occupied Hunter's chapel nigh! before last, and are still along the creek of thatnamd, but this of itself is not a threatening movement. j THE CHAIN BRIDGE AND THE UPPER POTOMAC. The country along the Potomac from Alexandria to the Chain Bridge is not near. so favorable for the rebS els as that around Gentreville, Bull Ram and Manasj sas. The Chain Bridge is about five miles nortwest of Washington, and the Virginia shore of the river ther is hilly, forming a kind of rocky bluff all the way down to Washington anil for a distance above the bridge Tb$ hills can he easily held by good troops against an apj proaching enemy. .The same is true all the way down to and lelov Arlington. The ground is high, and th chain of hills forms a natural line of defence. As thej forests have been cut down, our artillery can have .1 full sweip at any attacking columns'. The country is full of ravines just hack of the river; but there are nqj nhices of the kind not commanded "bv our suns. Oil l - w- o -i the other hand, there is a deep' ravine back of Muiih son's Hill by which our troops, if tliy see i nt, might at-? tai k it in' the rear. THE COUNTRY BEYOND ARLINGTON. Such is the topography of the c mntry hack of Ar4 lingtou, thaf if the entire rebel army should entrench itself in front ot our lines it would, be much easier to take them by storm to conquer them here than at Bull Run or Manassas. We have nothiug to fear, tlien,' at this moment' from the rebels if it he true, which isj very doubtful, that they are entrenching themselves, permanently and with fcheir whole force within a few miles of Washington. They are by no means in so strong a jtositiou here as they would lie further! away. " j THE POSITON OF ALEXANDRIA. ; The position of Alexandria is such that the reikis; can lave little hope of taking it.-' Hunting Creek pro- tects the. lower portion of the town; -so that no Hank movement can be made upon it. The hills hack ofcj Alexandria are high, and can easily be held in protec tion of the town, and even if thev were not held, our vessels of war in the riv'cr could at once make Alex- j audria uutenable. ' OTHEK PLACES INs VIRGINIA. Arlington Heights are directly opposite Georgetown, nearly two miles back from the Potomac. Roach's Spring is alout two miles distant, southwest of the Long Bridge, a little . from the road to Fairfax Court House. Arlington House is about five miles lio.rth or northeast of Alexandria. Falls Church is a httle village six miles straight west of Georgetown. ' Bailey's Cross Roads is a point five miles duo west of the Long 'Bridge, and the road fr m .the bridge whiclK leads directly past Bailey's is tlie road to Fairfax Court House. The last mimed. place is eighteen miles from Washington and' fourteen from Alexandria. i THE WEST SIDE OF TJ1I-! Pi .TO MAC. This side of the river we have the heights of George town, which command Arlington itself. and which, in the event of disaster, might be occupied to worry the eneiny'aOross the river. North and northeast of the city there are hills which command all the roads lead ing into Washington. These hills are distant two or three mile, some of them four and five milrs, and make it comparatively, easy to surround the capital with a net-work of fortifications. The eastern branch of the Potomac flows down n the east from Bladensburg, and forms a sort of protection on that side. The capital is -an amphitheatre it is surrounded by a chain of hills which are from three to five miles distant from the capital buildings. "' THE ENEMY'S FORCES. .Very little is known hereof the Confederate en campments. The main force at Munson's Hill is sup posed to be behind it, as not more than a regiment, or at the utmost two regiments, have been seen on parade. Gen. Boiiham is at Vienna with a brigade of South Carolina regiments, and sends' out a-force daily to watch the operations of the Federal forces near Chain Bridge, hut so far remains on the defensive; A Spanish General's View of the Union Army Interesting Letter of Gen. Lana, Written after a Visit to our Army of the Potomac. Translated from the Diaro de la JIarina, of Havana, for the New York llerald. Washington, July, 31, 1861. You' will be surprised on seeing my letter dated fn m this city, since, perhaps, you supposed; I' was already in Madrid. It would have been so had it not happened that I found, on my arrival at New York, that the famous steamship Great Eastern Was expect ed, a circumstance which created in me a hope of ma ing my trip to Liverpool in that colossus. In the meantime, in order to make the most of my time, I visited Saratoga, where I learned the news of the bat tle of Bull Run, and since the Great Eastern does not sail from Quebec till the 6th' of August, I felt a curi osity to see what was going on, now that these people appear to be fighting in earnest ; and at one bound 'I planted myself in the capital of the old Union. Her Catholic Majesty's Minister, Sr! Tassara re ceived me very well, and did everything in his power to post, me as fully as possible in regard to the mili tary and political state of this country, from which information I believe I have formed' a sufficiently ac curate idea. of the actual situation, although herea- Uouts tliey arc as silent as the dead on certain matters and bave very little news of what is taking place on tne oiuer sine oi tne rotomac. It is necessary to see this place to be convinced of wnat is occurring and to form an idea of what kind of aitair an army is composed of; men withoyt any military habits, and led by officers chiefs and gene rals who are for the most part devoid of the knowl edge necessary. Excepting the war material in the transportation department, such as wagons, gun-carriages, ambulances, &c, &c, which is magnificent, all else is a confusion of ill-clad men without any milita ry instruction, and what is worse, without trying to acquire it, according to appearances, since during the time I remained tjiere I have seen them passMays and nights in the camps without doing auything with the exception of battalion drill for a short while in the morning and again.in the evening. As far as I have been able to observe, they have no large' fields for manoeuvring or target exercies,; which surprises me, since I know the fondness they have for it in thiscouutry. Nothing impresses you that there are seventy thousand men in the neighborhood preparing for war. Silence and tranquility reign in the city and camps, neither more nor less than if everything were in a normal state. ; For all I have searched, I have not succeeded in finding either cavalry or artillery, j True, the latter they abandoned on the Bull Run field of battle, and the former they have never had except in compara tively insignificant -number. What they have is draught cattle such as I have never seen anywhere ; tho harness and gun-carriages are ! magnificent, all bran new, since they lost those they previously had in the battle, and that too; in great numbers, as every - To day I saw more than a thousand most beautiful mules, as go-xl as the best which are bred in the pas tures of La Mancha (New Castile.) All of them were destine for dranght service in th army they had just come from Kentucky. Certainly all that money can procure is had here in abundance, but there are things which cannot be improvised. Hence it is that according to fny opinion, these gentry will be beaten as often as they go into battle, at least for the present. Nothing of all that is saii by the , Southern papers on the Tesult of the battle is exaggerated. Here it is known perfectly tvell thutthe federalists, beside hav ing runaway hehtef skelter, hist abimt 19,000 muskets seventy odd cannon all their wagons and provis ions, field tr.ins, tents and a greater part of their knapsacks It is only Necessary to take a peep at an encampment to notice that not one of these latter is to be seen. The soldiers use no more clothing! nor uni form than what we understand by barrack dress, and their clothes are so clumsily worn, dirty and motly that it is necessary to see to believe. Beards and long hair are also very much in fashion. Prouder if they imagine the enemy will be frightened by show ing them dishevelled heads and dirty, hairy faces. I would require to write many pages to relate some of the mn:h which ,is seen about here in these days of the remarkable and strange. But I can neither spare sufficient time for that, nor would, you have patience to read it. . . j By the time 3'ou receive this letter it is very proba ble the scene may have been transferred' more to the northward. I believe if the Southerners avail them selves duly of the time and circumstances they will very soon oblige their enemies to evacuate Harpet's .Ferry, offer battle to the corps of Federal troops marching through Western Virginia, and also present themselves at Baltimore, threatening the j forces in possession thcrcL In that case the army which is here encamped will have to ..retreat to Philadelphia, and then Virginia and Maryland will remain in the power of the Southern Confederates. I am thoroughly con vinced that this: must happen very soon. f" j I endeavored in vain to get a glimpse of the South ern troops, and convinced myself that it was useless to attempt it. Their pickets allow no one to pass, not even the country people in which case to ipenetrate the country it would be necessary to take a great round, for which I have not sufficient time. To-morrow I start for New York, and after resting there a day will make an excursion to Niagara to see the bridge which the English have, built over the river St. Lawrence (?), proceeding on the 5t bee to embark for Europe on the 6th. i toQue- From the Richmond Examiner. The Natural Philosophy of Poultices. -Slippery-elm bark is needed in large quantity for poultices. Let it be provided in -advance and contri buted for the service of our camps by those who find the tree in their neighlorhood. We subjoin a good receipe for its preparation as a poultice:. Take of the bark, ground into flour, three-fourths ; of ground flax seed; one-fourth ; knead into a moderaieiy stiff poul tice with hot milk and water ; let the vessel in which it is mixed stand liti hot, water half an hour, to prevent its lumping. Spread this upon a cloth, about half an inch thick; then keep adding water, little by little, and working'it iii, until the surface is quite soft. If it js to be applied over a bruised surface, drop on it a little arnica oil ; if oyer a suppurating surface, ue marigold water in mixing the poultice. Tints con structed, it is soft and soothing where applied to the inflamed surface, while its outer portion being firmer, prevents the poultice from slipping down to the inosr dependent part, as it will do if it is all made thin, of ten leavfng the most dependent part exposed, or ele so thinly covered j that it soon becomes dry. j It also remains of a more- uniform thickness, and thus we have a moreeven temperature a"- d moisture., and a complete shield from the action of the air. j Proper support to the atlected part is rendered the metre ne cessary by the weight of a poultice. When practica ble, it is well to interpose a bit of open lace between the poulttce and the Wound. Otherwise, so mijch the more care is needed not to keep it on too long. In removing poultices, loosen one end, then avert and draw carefully backwards. ' When suppuration ne e'esifates frequent removal, pour, from time to time, the medicated liquid, adopted for dresAig, under one edge of the ponlfie. j Another plant very common with us, and which makes a good, poult ice, is the althea. The gren root bruised and boiled in. milk has been recommended as. a preventive f gangrene; The bark, leaf and flower j are all mucilaginous. . - j. I Whether the althea or the el ret poult ice bp employ- led, if gangrene be; imminent, or the surface be foul K-lf ia .i.! ... .. ! . jana smugmy. .tnis; and tlie poultice as welt, may be powdered with cinchona bark alternately 'vith diar jcoal. (animal charcoal is most esteemed,) which ab j sophs the sulphuretted hydrog n. Another valuable jantiseptic is pyroligneous aci-l, to be add d; to the (water of the poultice.
