NEW YORK, Oct. 20.
The Tribune correspondent at Warren's
station the 9th, says: -1t a15g -l
This morning the entire army is in mo-
ton with six days rations aud ammunition
for any emergency. The movement is p
left flank, and on the extreme left Gregg's
cavalry is swinging around towards the
South Side Railroad and the Appomattox.
Tnen comes the eth corps in martial ar
ray, the LIST division tapping the cavalry
with their rattling artillery, and the other
divisions extending to Ethe 9th Corps,
upon the third and right divisions of which
IS upon pivot, the volving line is turning,
while the two divisions of the second corps
are keeping time with the movement as g
reserve. alvl
The immediate objective point of the
movement is the South Side Railroad and
the AppotomRx River, in q circle of an eX-
isting fortified line. -.... --..a ...--.
Our line being once extended to the river,
with this natural barrier between ours
and the main rebel army, it viii be very
easy matter, as viii be seen by reference to
the map, to keep the Danville Railroad, on
the South side Of the Appomattox, con-
stantly cut BY cavalry.
1t is impossible to foresee at what point
the movement viii stop, but do not think
that this plan is to extend the movement
particularly at this time, further than to
the AppotOmRx. Then the Danville Rail-
road South of the APpomsttox will natur-
ally be the next objective point.
General Grant has just arrived from City
Point, with four orderlies and two days's
rations of sandwiches, &c. he yesterday
sent all the body guard of cavalry to join
Greggs cavalry on the extreme LETT.
Skirmishing has already commenced, as

Point. q. s.r -tf .. ...-r..-.-
