THE REORGANIZATION OF THE ARsfy.
Your readers have already been advised that
the army OF the Ohio, since its return to or
rather concentration at this point, has been TO
organized into three corps. So many GO affecting
statements have been made relstive 10 the exact
nature of this reorganization, that t seems 20 be
q matter OF some uncertainty who our corps
commanders are. Your intelligent cOrreap9u-
deut, "AmbeT, in recent letter, stated that
General Buell was to remain il this city while
the forces in the field were to be under the in
meeiate contyol of General Thomas This is
evidently an error, as Buell. moved to the front
sOue days sgo, and is now acting as command
1 er-in-chief in the field. Other statements rep
resented that the three grand divisions Of ths
4 army were to be cOInmRnded by Generals Crit
te8den, McCook and Thomas, while still others
assured US that tie third corps was to be led By
I General Gilbert

the Ohio. Indeed, it would be difficult 10 say

awaken the most enthusiasm and inspire our
troops with tue greatest amount OF confidence
and Hooker would give entire satisfaction, snd

the rebels beyond the limits Of Kentucky, and

THE LATEST FROM TIE FRONT.
The telegraph will have advised you, ere this
that the advance of our forces entered the place
at ten O. CLOCK bne same morning. C0l5iletaote
! skirmishing occurred in the vicinity, but with
out producing any importsnt results. The rebels
removed al their stores and trains, and it is said
intend to make a stand few miles further
lalongi bnt this is not probable IL they have
not already selected their YoiIts dappNi and
CONSTRUCTED the necessary defensive works, is is
not likely they viii fnd time to do so now
When they commence to fall back, is IS pretty
safe Co say that They have concluded to abandon
Kentucky, and any resistance they may make
to our advance will only be to protect the main
body of their foTees, while they best safe and
hasty retrest A httie energy now is sll that is
wanted on our part to clear the STATE Of its enc

armies. That energy, | am happy to say, Gan-
