onward following the Rail road, and to.
night fuds the head ofHancock's column at
Bowling Green, 10 miles south of FEEDER

following some general line, and are now
passing the point at which this dispatch is
dated. You will observe from these iDdi-

this moment head across the Ny, where
one of our columns is moving mile south

point the stream Ia crossed by Guinea's
