The announcement in the Associated Press dis
patches Of the Goth that Gen. Buel's entire army
corps is moving into East Tennessee, is at variance
with its real present dsposion. Ten days ago,
stated that the army OF toe Ohio woud be employed
during tho next weeks in occupying holding
and putting into running order the line Of the Men,
phis and Charleston Railrosd-Gen. Hallecks new
base of opera,ions-from the Alabama State line TO

eyen,s il Eastern Virginia might possibly result 10
diversion Of the corps to more easterly lati'

movements in direct support of the army Of the Pc

but glance at the map, to convince that the with
drawal of Geo. Barhs army from Nogthern Ala
