Gen. Pope has SEM to Gen. Halleck
an official report OF his campaign IN
Virginia. He informs Gen. Halleck,l in
this report, that Halleck was appoints
cd to the chief command to secur
prompt cooperation between the Ar
nv Of the Potomac and the Army OF
Virginia. This cooperation, Pope
saws, he offered to Gen Mcclellan in a
letter, to which the latter replied in gem
eral terms proposing nothing towards
the accomplishment of the purpose L
had suggested to him." He says that
the battle of Cheat Mountain was
fought by General Banks, by advan-
cling from a strong position to which
he had been ordered; that the battle
was fought at a time and place against
his wishes; that the men under Gen.
Banks behaved CALAMITY, but that the
battle was not decisive, and 80 far ID"
terfered with Pope's plans. Pope
goes on to claim that he would have
entirely cut off Stonewall Jackson's
retreat, had not Fitz John Porter failed
him at a critical juncture. In conclu-
sion he says: "l am gratiied TO know
that my conduct in that campaign,
every detail of which was communl>
Gated day by day to the General>in>
Chief, was fully approved by him, and
by the Government; and lnOw gladly
submit the subject to the judgment Of
the country.

J. Sandstreet, recently captured by

of much talent. He stated to>day to
several persons that the watchword Of
the rebel States was conquer or die;"
that the last chance ofreunion was de-
stroyed; and that the recent speech Of
JEFF. Davis was heartily indorsed.-
While he did not attempt to conceal
the deficiency of clothing and equip
ments among the rebel forces, he con-
soled himself with the pious belief that
Providence, who fed the Children OF
Iseral with mama, would furnish food
and clothing. The negroes, he says,
never were so subservient as now, ow>
ing to the strict police measures that
had been adopted, and to the circuia-
ton of accounts of returned contra-
bands, who told fearful stories of the
cruelmaUner inwhich the Yankees had
treated them.
