There are a good many. All reports agree in that. How many have moved up, I do not know, but a great many troops have been seen this afternoon moving out of the entrenchments at Fredericksburg to the right, and still a heavy force in the heights.

I have no doubt they are prepared for a [sic] returned this afternoon, and says Hill was over there with between 20. 000 and 30. 000 men, and had sixty pieces of artillery at Hamilton's Crossing yesterday.

General HANCOCK:

The stores here are being shipped rapidly. I think everything will be afloat before morning, excepting the rolling-stock of the railroad, which will take about forty hours.

Everything is taken from the different stations along the railroad, excepting some hospital property, now being sent in.
