in the meantime, and will commence running thro'
trains to Memphis, we suppose, in few days.

FROM GEN. BANKS COLUMN.

SANDY Hook, August
Gen. Stone has been assigned to a separate COM
mand to be stationed at the Point of Rocks, where,
it is presumed the COnfederates intend ultimately
to establish strong battery, to intercept the trans
portaton of supplies and troops from Baltimore and
the lower Potomac.
Col. Hamilton, Of the Sd Wisconsin, has been ap-
pointed to the command of the Sd Brigade of this
division, in place Of General Stone transferred to
the Point of Rocks
The report of Yesterday purporting that two
rebel regiments with six guns approaching
from LeeSburg towards the Point of Rocks is dis
credited That point is now guarded by the 2Sth
New York, Col Donneliy, strengthened by d.
sscon 81 gna opposite the Point of
Rocks through which the enemy must pass to at
tack us there, is thoroughly secuted day and
night.
Two gentlemen of the Sanitary Commission have
been here several days, and have examined some of
the camps. Among those examined they speak in
particular commendation of the sanitary and police
regulations of the Sd Wiscnnsin's camp as an ex-
ample of neatness and discipline. They will visit
the 18th Massachusetts and perhaps others to-day.
The Medical PuryeyOr's Department has been re-
moved from Hagerstown to Frederick, aud orders
have been issued for the removal of the general
hospital to the same place; the latter will be loca-
ted at the old State Barracks, built by the English
in l775, which still in good condition, delight
fully situated on high ground, on the southern
limits OF the city, with an abundance of excellent
water.
Last evening Major Doubeday's siege battery
was tried upon the Loudoun Heights Shot and
shells were thrown entirely over the summit from
the smooth-hore guns. while Eagle Rex, flint
pinnacle of the mountain, was sIccessivey struck
and shattered by the percussion shells of the rifed
guns The estimated range of the latter shots is
IA miles
Col Mann's I'd Pennsylvania Reserve now pro-
Dises to become verv efficient. General satisfac-
ti"n exists since the reception of the new muskes
and better quality of food Additional clothing
and shoes are now on the way from Pennsylvania
for this regiment
Col. Porter, U. S. A, is Acting Adjutant of the
Division, in place of Capt. Robert Williams, who
is expected to return from Washington to day.
Reconnossances by the engineer staff daily
kept up. Weak points are streng gthened by addi-
tional forces.
The Point of Rocks prisoners are still in custody,
although great efforts being made to get them
released. But Gen. Banks is determined to ferret
out the truth OF all the statements bearing upon
their case.
Rumors as TO the m ovements of the enemy in this
vicinity plenty, but unreliable.

Springfield ON Monday at noon furnishes the fol-
lowing information in regard to Gen. l. yon's move
ments:
General Lyon with his force had fallen back on
Springfield, having reached there on Monday
morning. and was preparing for vigorous defence.
The Couleaerates were advancing b. four dif-
ferent roads. Their advance bad been ascertained
to be from ten to fifteen miles distant. General
Lyon had called out twenty-five hundred Home
Guard from the country around Springfield to aid
him. 1t expected that the enemy would make
immediate attack, from the fact that their COM
mssariat is in a miserable condition, being obliged
to depend on forced contributions for temporary
supplies.
1t was generally remarked in Springfield that
General Lyon seemed rerfectly confident of
cess in case of attack. He bad no ntrench-
ments but depended upon his splendid artillery in
the open field. Fifty wagons filed with provis-
ions bad reached him.
General Pope's Military District has been ex-
