The Opposing Forces Face To Face

The Right IVin, Amiy of the Potomac ) Tlmrsday, June 12, 18C2. 'j Our ten and the 1 1 bel ftircen are now face loacu with each olher, tliepickets not being over a half a aii!e apart. For whnt length of time this state of things wil! r.xi.st without bringini on an eiiD-ao-oment reinriins to bê suen. Ia the next battlo tho right wing wiil uudoubtedly have a liatid, as the bridges fnr crosaing (he river aro eompiëted, and nothing reiiinir.sbut to give the word of comuiand to cross. The rebels arü hard :it work throwing up eartinvorks, and_ cvidontly nterid to inake the batile of Richmond the decisive battle. T'ioy will fiihl us fully prepared for the contest. Last glit the rebels sent two or threo shells iülo Siiihh's encampment, but without i ficetir.g auy dainpgc. Deserters from Itielimond continue to arrivo dail)-, a'l of whom eonfirm the gtateuient recently pubüshed in the Eichmond Dispatch, tliat the rebíl forcé greatly fear our design is to surround them and cut off their supplics. Their stook of subsislenfie is fust diminishing. What sliall we do ? is the question of all classes. The city of Rlehraond is one vast hospital. Xearly every house coutuins more or less of voundod, and the utmost sufferitig prevails, in consequence of the want of faeilities and the proper remedies. If tho rebels meau to fight, circumstances demand that they should fight innuediatcly. The questiou arises, will they commence the attack, or loave that for us to do ? They may possiitly be willing to give us our own 'tiuie, seeiug that their attempt at Fair O;iks endetJ so disastrously to themselvos. It seems ineredible that the Union army can remain within four miles of ltichmond for a rauch longer period without opening the wny to the city. - Something must be done, and somctlnng will bo done, ere many days shall have elapsed.
