COL, SLACK'S PATIOTIC Re-
SP0NSE,
Especial Dispstcht to the Chicago Tribune

Gen Pope and staff arrived on the evening
# the 10th from Corinth. As we have intimat-
d heretofore in our dispatches, it turns out
hat the statemt ut that 10000 prisoners were
:apturcd by Gen. Pope is nothing hut an ele-
rant fiction Oh the part Of Gen. Ha1leck, or
made under mistaken idea as to hcts. a |
ew prisoners, probably 300, were captured,
5ut nothing like the number stated.
MEMPHIS, June 1854 N. I
There is 10 news yet from down the river,
10 boat having arrived from that vicinity. The /
eisy was rather active yesterday, the leyee
crowded with people. There was q number !
Of arrivals from the north Of steamers loaded |
With provisions and dry goods, boots,
shoee, etc. |
Several capitalists from above also are pres
ent, preparing to enter into business here.
Memphis is to be the grand centre Of bu5l-
ness, military and financial, for some time to
come.
A great sensation was created here by re-
mort OF the rebels that Gen. Mcclellan has met
with defeat before Richmond. The 4ua-
lancte believes the story. It emanated from
Grenada
L letter from that centre OF rebeldom and
bogus dispatches announces that Bcauresard's
army is il most excellent order as regards
health, morals and equipment, and that all ru-
mors about its disorganizations are ridicu-
lousy false and absurd.
The following is Col. Slack's reply to the
Mayor:
