4 letter from General Halleck to Secretary

which contains some of the reasons, no doubt,

with clothing, provisions, &C., and all his re-
questions complied with; and that, therefore,
Gen. McClellan's complaint Of the want OF
supplies, preventing him from moving, is
groundless-that he failed to move on, Tor

Important from EEaiIcck's az

Majo General Pope's Division has ac-
compIlshcd very important movement.
He has succeeded in destroying two brid-
gcs and a considerable amount of track
on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, at a
point called Boonville, twenty miles south
of Corinth. Gen. Pope's Division occ,i-
pied the left of our forces, and his ad-
vance, it appears has reached the vicinity
OF Pennington, which is in the same coun
ty in which Corinth is located, being
about fifteen miles from Corinth in a
south oaStdirection. On the 81 inst. he
sent strong reconnaissance towards Far
mington, where they found the enemy
/, 800 strong with four pieces of artillery,
occupying strong position near the
town. Our forces advanced to the as
saut and carried the position, after some
sharp fighting The enemy left thirty
dead upon the field, also tents and bag
gage. They fled in confusion, pursued
by our cavalry. Regiments of our cav
airy were sent to Boonville and destroy
ed two bridges on the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad, which crossed tributary of
Tombigbec river. This mocvment will
prevent retreat of the rebels from Cor
inth, by way of the Mobile ds Ohio Rail-
road.
On the same day an Artillery recon-
noisance from Pope's forces went to
Glendale, eight miles east OF Corinth and
destroyed two tressell bridges on the
Memphis IL Charleston Railroad, which
cross an upper branch on the Hatchco
river. 1t was a splendid days work.
The only railroad retreat now left Gen.
Beauregard is the road to Memphis. A
fight or surrender of the entire rebel ar
my cannot be deferred. We don't be.
lleve they will get away from Corinth
so successfully as their brethren in arms
did at Yorktown. The work is progress
ing most satisfactorily.

From Yorktown.

NEw lonK May g. Times special from
Yorktown: \
The retreat of the rebels appears to
have been proci ptate. They commenced
to dismount and carry their guns to vii:
liamsburg four days ago. Wagons have
been engaged in transporting their ammu-
Eitions, provisions and camp cquippuge
for over week past. Their sick and
wounded, numbering $500. were sent to
Richmond ten days ago. The rebel sol
diers and negroes were at work on their
entrenchments until o'clock this morn
ing, when their rear guard was ordered to
cease and take up their march to Will
liamsburg. Ten thousand rebels were
sent from Winnie's Mill to reinforce an
army sent from Richmond to oppose Me
Dowell's advance Thursday week. No
great battle is expected at Williamsburg,
as the rebel troops, particularly those
under Magruder, have mutineed on sew
eral occasions. Within two weeks !, 1000
of his men threatened to lay down their
arms, unless they received food and clo-
thing.
Three rebel Lieutenants, two Sergeants
and twenty men were captured the other
side of Yorktown and brought in. Since
the ID over 70 deserters have come in.
and they report their army thoroughly
disheartened and dem oraized The hon
or of first entering the enemy's main
works belongs to the I'D n. Y. The
Texas Rangers left as our force were ad-
vancing. a large force of the enemy are
reported captured four miles beyond
