CHerald's Dispatch.

The entire army is moving this morn.
inc. and before this can reach you we
shall have had fight, unless the enemy
shall have taken the hint and moved to-
wards Richmond. / never saw an army

Another Army Of the Potomac dispatch
of the 26th, states the army moved at
daylight. The rebels have only strong
picket force, with some artillery, below
MitcbelPs Ford. Their lines extend
along the south bank Of the river from
the vicinity of Whites Ford to Mole Run,
where it bends to the south, following
the west bank of Mole Run, which is
strongly fortified. At the ford below Mole
Run they merely have small attachments
of troops with artillery. to prevent our
scouting parties from crossing; but it 's
possible, since the publication of General
Meade's plan of movements, and the con-
sequent suspension Of movements, tina,
they have strengthened these points. and
will make desperate effort to hold them
A battle is expected at Germamia Ford
or Jacobs Mills, perhaps at both. The
corps of A. p Hill has the left of the
rebel line, and that of Ewell the right.
HilPs corps was reviewed BY jeff Da.
Wis in person on Tuesday, and Ewell's or
yesterday.
Information is received of a positive
nature that the rebel General Posey dice
from wounds received in the battle o
Brs,ow Station. s
Ewell has been absent from his corps
for some time from sickness, and il il
reported in rebel lines to-day that he alst
is dead. BARLEY is commanding his corp'
temporarily.
On Monday Gen. Gregg moved his di
vision Of cavalry, according to ORDER
issued the evening previous. He crossed
the Rapidan at Ellis Ford with his Who'll
command, capturing few prisoners, ant
driving the rebel pickets back with SOM
loss. When he had perfected his cross
ing, he received countermanding orders
and was obliged to re-cross to this side o
the river.
Another dispatch to the Herald, of tn
same date, says at Manassas artillery fir
ing was heard during the morning, whicl
appeared to be in the direction of one o
the fords on the Rapidan. There is som,
mud, which, to limited extent, impede
the progress Of artillery and supply trains
but the roads are corduroyed, and moth
ing has been stuck thus far. 1t is tn
first time for long period that the Arm.
of the Potomac has cut itself loose frou
supply stations and moved with its suppl
trains laden for long march. Never ha
it been in a condition to Eovc with s
great celebrity as now. Every pound Q
baggage and camp equipage, no. necessar
for daily use, has been sent to the rear :
The weather is magnificent. The las
supplies for the present, on the line Q
the Orange and Alexandra Railroad, wer
issued to the army last night, and earl
this morning depot commissaries an
quartermasters, with all their tents an
camp equipage, we're sent to Alexandra
