The forces for this movement are nearly all concentrated at the point whence it is intended to move against the adversary, and in a few days the whole command will probably be on the march westward.

Davis's brigade was reported to be crossing the Osage river on Wednesday, and a portion of it was expected to arrive at Lebanon on Thursday. Two of Major Wright's scouts report that Price had made a speech to his troops, telling them they were surrounded, that they must fight or surrender, and that they all danded to fight.
