BOLIVAR HEIaHrs, Va, Oct 27-As the pre-
liminsry account has been permitted from head
quarters, there can be no impropriety in stating
that general movement has at last been made
A portion of Gen. Burnside's troops left Pleasant
Valley yesterday morning, and moved down to
Berlin, five miles below Harpers Ferry, where 1
pontoon bridge has been thrown across the Po-
tomac, the remainder, embracing the three corps
under Burnside's command, will speedily follow.
simultaneously with this, the troops at Sharps-
burgh, composed of Hooker's old corps, now
commanded by Reynolds, and the corps of Fits
John Porter, are also on the march. They prob.
ably encsmped last night near the head of Pleas
ant Valley, ready to follow Burnside's troops.
The elements are unpropitious. Until yester-
day morning, the roads were dry and in splendid
condition for marching, but coon after day light
a cold driving rain commenced and has contin-
ned without intermission up to this morning
Tue roads are, already muddy, and after being
treaded by few thousand infantry, will be all
almost inpassabe. The storm is exceedingly
severe on the men. ~
