Show Washington-, May 10. There are now such large numbers, of troops in forco hsith In Virginia am) Maryland, Mary-land, that with the aid of telegraphs, I railroads, und steamers, a blow may be j struck ou either hand at tdinost any hour, jbut no formal engagement can take place I for a long time, unless the federal troops j shall march upon Richmond. Rut in that 'direction wo hear that General Lee i I throwing up batteries at Fredericksburg, (Oil the line of railroad from Aquia creek,) uud a column advancing upoil Richmond would probably have to encounter Ilefd-1 Ilefd-1 work on the line of the Rappahannock, and the tributary of York river iu front cf that city.. Bonaparte never failed to ; use the shovel np to the latest moment ! possible before an engagement in whieh inn important point might be one for ' desperate struggle. I Republican Congressmen say that the reason of the late hurrying np of troops I to this point from the North, was beciuso j Gen. Scott found that troops were con-iceiitruiiiig con-iceiitruiiiig iu Virginia much faster thau I lie had anticipated. j The troops hero arc going rapidly into 1 camp upon the hih grounds iu flank and I rear of the city, but there are no indications indica-tions that flchl-u oiks arc to be thrown up thereon, as has been suggested in the New Voik administration papers. The command com-mand of the Potomac precludes the necce-Mly necce-Mly of such f.teps at present. A part of the military programme of the federal government is to have scveuty-1 scveuty-1 two thousand troojri 111 or ueur (hh city I by the fourth Thursday of this mouth. From the uoticts of mil.tury movements i which appear in the Northern papers, it lis evident that uch a cumber, now when communications are opened, can bu easily brought here. It is probably tho purpose to leave a poniou ol these troops lu the city, and employ the rest elsewhere should ; thero be any occasion for it.
