A correspondent of morning paper writing
from Bolivar Heights, the 23d, states that more
than half the army is now under the command
OF Maj Gen. Burnside. The current belief that
when the army of the Potomac moves it will be

Burnside and the other by Mcclellan, one to
take the enemy in front and the other on
the flank. is probably only an inference drawn
from this arrangement.

Va, the 2lst, states that Gen. Devens, with his
brigade, crossed the Potomac this morning at

distance off by the remaining Brigade of Cen
