wa.s ia motion to form a junction with Gan L&ng-

ultimo, be moved from Rog»rsviiietolieaa station,
but, acting upon a sub-eipient order, made u r«

Kri.'xviile, and, on Wedue(iduy, the 2d instant,
Gen. tlaasom, with his splended fbrcc, wa.s again
at Reau .station,about tony miles from Knoxviile,
and pressing forward. From thisplac*? he dispatch
ed a courier to Geu. Loogstreet, announcing hi?'
proxiuiity and expccted to f’orm the junction on
Friday pight or last Saturday. The announce
ment in th« Northern papers of Gen. Longstreet’s

The ?iegc was certainly progressing at Knox
