The following despatch was received this
afternoon at the War Department.
HALLscx's HEADQUARTERS, June 4, 1862.
Hon. E. N. STANTON, Secretary of War;
Gen. Pope, with 10000 men, is thirty miles
youth Of Corinth, pushing the enemy hard. He
already reports 10000 prisoners and dessrters
from the enemy, and $4,000 stand of arms
captured.
Thousands Of the enemy are throwing away
their arms. A farmer says that when Beaure-
gard learned that Colonel Elliott had cut the
railroad on his line of retreat he became frantic,
and told his men to saue themselves the best ,oay
they could.
We have captured nine locomotives and q
number of cars. One of the former is already
repaired and is running to-day. Several more
will be in running order in two or three days.
The result Is all 1 could possibly desire.
