PHILADELPHIA NOV. o. ne w aknihR-
ton Star says last night the advance Of
the Army of the Potomac, under Burn
side, Fitz John Porter, and others, doubt
less bivouacked upon the line of the
Alexandria and Winchester turnpike;
from Uppervillc three miles in front, or
below Ashby's Gap down TO Middleburg,
. distance Of ten miles.
Their cavalry must have halted for the
night very near il not on the line Of the
Manassas Gap Railroad, somewhere be-
tween Front Royal and Thouroughfaie
Gap "
The force Of Sigel, which took up the
line of march early yesterday, must have
advanced upon the line of the same Rail-
road to Thoroughfare Gap ere night-fall
il not beyond that point while another
division ct the army in front of Wash
ington, under Sickles, at the same time
was doubtless advancing in the rear Of
Sigel, and at night within supporting
distance of him. Such, we Judge from
our knowledge Of the country roads, &c,
to have necessarily been the movements
east of the Blue Ridge yesterday.
The march of Sickles' division yester-
day before Alexandria almost TO the ex-
IRENE front reflects great credit on it.
Up to 2:30 p. NJ. to-day we have not
been able to learn that the enemy had
appeared in front of Sigeps command in
any force. We would have learned the
facts, had the enemy ventured an attack
on our forces in that quarter this morn
ing. ggN vT vi rWnr ~
We think it now clear that Lees flank
hiss been turned.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3,--It is said to-
night in military circles that Col. Cares

10 Gen. Buell.,
The entire army has been paid TO the

Of August, The reason for non-paymen.
Of the remainder is owing to the Treasury
Department being unable to honor the
requisition of the pay department, the
bounty and advance pay TO the new levies
having been first paid, and this transact
ton requiring all the available funds.
Governor Curtin is here to confer with
the President upon important military
affairs connected with Pennsylvania.
