The corps T. d17he5 Of McCook aud Cristenden
are now moving through this city on forced
march to Stanford, and, as natural conse-
Quence. the streets present brilliant and
lively appearance. Gen. Gilbert moved to-
wards Lancaster, and is to be there tonight if
the crossing Of Dicks River is not held By the
enemy. Oftlfs latter alternative there Is but
little probability. as i is apparent to all civil
ianE, if Eot to strategic generals, that Bragg is
Fastening from the State as rapidly as posi-
bic. This General Buell. may have concluded
to be the case, but he has only just arrived at
it, ard row begins to see thenecesslty of long
and rapid marches. To-day our troops will
have moved twenty miles. But Bragg is far
ahead, ard is reported this morning as having
entered Oak Orchard, twenty miles from this
point, and passed on towards Mount Vernon.
