General Lyon's command sale.

--Colonel Cunningham, of Lyon's command, who reached Selma on the 19th, informs the Rebel that General Lyon's forces are all safe on this side of the Tennessee river. Much anxiety has been felt for the safety of this portion of our army since the retreat of General Hood. It was left on the north side of the Cumberland, and fears were entertained that it would be unable to get out. In the face, however, of innumerable obstacles, General Lyon has succeeded in placing his command where it can re-unite with the army at its leisure. After the retreat of the army commenced, General Lyon made a rapid march in the direction of Louisville, passed in the vicinity of Elizabethtown, crossed the Cumberland near Carthage, and came out by way of Sparts and McMinnville.
