abundant over great extent of the coun>

was opened unusually early, and sanguine

General Buell's Farewell to the Army
a Of the Ohio.
HEADQUARTERS Army OF THE OHIo,l
LOUISVILLE, KY., Oct 30, 1862. {


LOUISVILLE, RI, Oct 30, 1862 {
General Orders No. $50.
In obedience TO orders from the Head
quarters of the Army, Major General
Buell. relinquishes the command Of the
Dictrict and Army Of the Ohio to Major
General w. S. ROsecrans.
1t is impossible fer the General, with
out feelings of regard and warm inter-
est in their future success, to part with
troops whom he has been the instrument
Of converting for the most part from raw
levies into powerful army, honored by
common consent for its discipline and
efficient organization, for its esprit dc corps
and for victories unqualified by single
reverse, and whose fortunes he has fol-
lowed for twelve month over field OF
operations embracing considerable por-
tions of four States, through difficulties
and dangers which Its fortihide and
courage have mastered without accident
or failure.
II has, recently by a rapid march OF
some Eve hundred miles, with limited
subsistence, often with an inadequate
supply OF water, returned to Kentucky,
and driven from her borders a powerful
army ; aud, having re-established its
communications, is well on its way to
meet the enemy at other points. The
occasion is not convenient for recouniing
IFS services during the past twelve months,
but the army may safely recur TO them
with pride. II anything has not been
accomplished which was practicable
within the sphere OF its duty, the Gen
eral cheerfully holds himself responsible
for the failure.
The General reflects with pride that
the army under his command has, for the
most part, been free from petty jealousies
aud intrigue; that it hasneither INDUCED
in vain boastings nor furnished its high
character by chickering's and low crimina-
tions. IL will enhance his qualification
il il shall carry to 10 new commander
who already has earned its confidence
and respect by distinguished service, The
same noble qualities which have charac-
terized il since its organization. He will
pray that il may be the instrument OF
speedily restoring the Union to its integ
rity; and there is no individual in It's
ranks in whose honor and welfare he will
not feel a special interest.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Of tn. srd inst !
Tue Movements of the Army in
Virginia. Ia


II was supposed that when the Army OF
the Potomac advanced, il would move by
the beaten track of the Shenandoah VAL
ley directly UPON Winchester. This
would have involved movement inde-
pendent Of Sigel's corps, which, while il
protects Washington, holds the country
from the 0ccoquan, on the south, to Aide
on the north, and is, perhaps, by this
time, ia possession of Thoroughfare Gap,
through which the Manassas Gap Rail-
road passes. In case Lee retreAted upon
Gordonsyille, he had open TO him the line
up the Valley via Strasburg and Harris
burg TO Staunton, OF by way of Front
Royal Luray, Madison and Culpepper
If he chose the latter he could move his
entire force, and in passing, fall upon
Sigel and defeat him by mere power of
numbers, while McCle,lan's army was
moving upon his rear in an effort to over
take him.
1t is probable that Lee calculated upon
such movement, from the disposition of
his forces; but instead of advancing
upon Winchester directly up the Valley,
Burnside's corps on the Goth commenced
a movement along the eastern base Of the
Blue Ridge, Pleasanton's cavalry having
first swept over the country, driving in
the enemy's pickets, capturing stragglers,
and discovering the position of the ene-
my. Crossing at Berlin, Burnside, fol-
lowed by StonemAn's and other divi-
sions, moved rapidly southwark TO Hills
boro', and thence to PurcellsviIle, short
distance East of Smokers Gap, with his
advance stretching across the Valley be-
tween the Blue Ridge and Kattochtan
Mountains, so that his pickets joined
those of Sigel at Aide,
This movement accomplished several
desirable ends. Il brings the corps Of
Sigel and Burnside within operating
distance, strengthens the defense of
Washington, and menaces the direct line
Of Lees retreat toward Richmond. 1t
may have more significant meaning, for
DETECTING northward and debouching
through one or more of the Blue Ridge
Gaps into the Shenandoah Valley, Lee
may End himself outaanked on the right.
Our adyices do not indicate which pur-
pose is in view. The lett Of our army is
in position TO do either one or the other
thing; and from the fact that in Wash
ington they were on Saturday and yes
terday expecting intelligence of great
battle, it is probably understood that
Burnside is TO attempt flank movement
by way Of Smokers aud Ashby's Gaps
SigePs corps advancing meantime along
the Manassas Gap Railroad, and south
ward toward Warrenton and the line Of
the Rappahannock These positions Sc
cured, Lee would have but one line Of
retreat open to him, the most circuitous,
by way Of Stanton, A day or two win
probably tell the Story.
