ST Louis. March 20.-A correspondent Of
the Republican, writing from the camp near

force is being rapidly forwarded there to deiead
it.
The property amounts, il is said. to several
million dollars Col Hough's First Regimen;

OF Thursday -
Oar fellow townsnen, MeSsrs O. w. Pal

from a trip to Manassas and vicinity. They
brisg some highly important Intelligence ln re
gard TO the movements OF the Grand Army an
iutmation If which has already appeared N
several Journals, aud which are DOW SO tar
consumated that there can be 10 harm 10 max
ing it public On Friday night last Genera
Mcclellan ordered that the main body OF the
troops which participated in the advance to
CentreviIle - including the Twenly-third -
should march at sunrise for Alexandria, where
one hundred and taeeatg tiCs steamers were ID
reaGiness to convey them TO some point, where,
nobody can just now tell This movement
was made on Saturday during one of the Sc
yerest rain storms that ever visited thai sec
ton of Virginia, 10 fact, the rair had so s~ol-
len the smaller streams on the route, that two
or three men aad large number OF horses
were drowned in crossing. Alter fatigung
march the entire force--about 60,OOO men
reached Alexandria, and have doubtless ere
this gone down the Potomac in the feet Of
steamers provided for their transportation
The order for this sudden and unexpected
movement was issued by General Mcclellan
within few hours after his stirring address
to the Army, wherein be uttered thes, signG-
cant wods " The period of inaction has
passed. will row bring you face 10 face

with yours, aud that all do IS to bring You
where know you wish to be-on the decisive
battle field 1t is my business to place you
there" The only theory Of this new move.
ment is, that Mcclellan has determined that
the rebels shall be forced, by q southern flank
movement to give battle before they have al
opportunity Of retreating from Virginia. That
battle will he tue decisive battle and it
must occur without delay. May God defend
the right
