The advance movement of Gen. Nc
Doweli's division has commenced. Yes
terday afternoon the columns as preyioas-
iy arranged. moved to their advanced
pickets, and IN the evening pressed forward
toward Fairfax Court House. Col. Lewis
Blanker. of the New York German skir-
mishers. commanding the first brigade of
Gen. Niles (fifth) division, led the van
guard OF the whole column. The force
put IN motion numbered numbered SO, 600
men by actual count of regiments. Gen.

my at 3! o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The
brigade assigned to Col. Burnside. of r,
l.. went over the Long Bridge a. 4 O'Clock
the same afternoon and struck the road
for Fairfax. The 9th New York. Col.
Slocum. went over an hour later, and fol.
lowed in the same direction, These move

and had wonderful effect upon the sick
list. 1t has nearly clearned out the hos.
pitals.
1t was believed that the army would hale
for the night this side of Fairfax, and press
forward upon the enemy at early dawn
Speculations were rife whether the rebel
force at Fairfax would show fight or beat
q hasty retreat. There were nine repi,
ments at the Court House.
The Washington Republican of this morn.
ing. says tho general movement was in ths
direction of Fairfax. which is no great dis.
tance from the right of Gen. McDowelrs
line. though fourteen miles from the ex,
treme right.
A dispatch to the New York Tribune.
speaking of the movement, says: It is
believed that the design of our Generals is
TO avoid Manassas junction, and if possi-
pie. circumvent it. A positive intention
IS, however. to allow no delays, bnt to
push vigorously south and fight their way
to Richmond. 1t is also supposed that
the movement to this important point will
not be direct. but by flank. and that our
columns will pass around the city and an
prosch it from the south, after cutting of
all communication.
