Of infantry coming along the road, the lieu.

Springfield on Monday, at noon, furnishes the
folio wing information in regard to Gen. Lyons s
movements;
Gen. Lyon, with bis forces, had fallen back
on Springfield, having marched there on Mon.
day morning, and was preparing for vigorous
defence. The rebels were advancing BY four
different roads. Their advance had been as.
certained to be from ten to fifteen miles dis.
tant.
Gen. Lyon had called out twenty-five hundred
Home Guards from the country around Spring.
field to aid him. 1t was expected that the
enemy would make an immediate attack from
the fact that their commissariat is in despe.
rate condition, being obliged to depend on
forced contributions for temporary supplies.
It was generally remarked in Springfield that
Gen. Lyon seemed perfectly confident of suo-
cess in case of an attack. He had no entrench.
ments, but depended upon his splendid artil.
: lery in the open field. Fifty wagons, filed with
provisions, had reached him.
