A FORWARD MOVEMENT.
Tribune dispatch
Bolivar Heights, Va, Oct. 81.

Bolivar heights, Va, Oct. q.
AS the preliminary account has been
permitted from headquarters there can be
no improperly i'll stating that general
movement had at last commenced. A
portion of General Burnside's troops left
Pleasant Valley yesterday morning and
moved down to Berlin, FIVE miles below
Harper's Ferry. where pontoon bridge
has been thrown across the Potomac.
The remainder, embracing the three corps
under Burnside's command, will speedily
follow. Simultaneously with this the
troops at Sharpsburg, composed of Gen.
Hooker's old corps, now commanded by
Reynolds, and the corps Of Fftz John
Porter are also on the march They
probably encamped last night near the
head of Pleasant Valley ready to follow
Burnside's troops. The elements are un-
propitious.
Until yesterday morning the roads were
dry and in splendid condition for march
ing, but soon after daylight cold driving
rain commenced and has continued with
GU, interruption up to this morning The
roads are already very muddy, and after
being trodden by few thousand infantry
will be almost impossible. The storm is
exceedingly severe on the men.
The evacuation of Winchester by the
rebels and their falling back towards
Staunton is confirmed by several citizens
who came into our lines yesterday.
The small pox has broken out with un
usual violence both among the people OF
Winchester and the troops, and probably
fastened the departure Of the rebels.
The general health of the army is good,
and the number of sick unusually small

WHAT WOULD THE NEeRoEs DO If
FREE THE New Orleans correspondent
of the New York Times has the follow
ing: "One of the most interesting and
significant things in this connection, is the
fact that a few days ago a delegation of
slaves, belonging to Manscfi White, one
of the oldest and wealthiest planters of
the parish of ST. Bernard below the city,
called to see Governor Shepley, and ask
ed, as. citizens, for an audience of the
Governor of the State. The request was
granted, and these men informed the Gen.
that they came for freedom they said their
fellow servants in other places were all
leaving their masters, and that they wish
ed also to improve their condition, but
it was not clear t, them how was the best
way to do SO. They emphaticnlly said.
however, that they did not intend to la
Dor much, if they could help it without
remuneration; and they concluded their
requests and protests by asking, that il
they remained peaceably at home, they
might have fair wages secured to them for
their service. General Shepley treated
the matter with great consideration, and
after comforting with General Butler, per.
mission was granted to these men TO make
terms with their master, who consented
to have partnership in the transaction
and those men have gone to work, not q,
slaves, but as hired men,"
