Doc. 131.-operations in Alabama. General Halleck's despatch. Halleck's headquarters, June 4. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: General Pope, with forty thousand men, is thirty miles south of Florence, pushing the enemy hard. He already reports ten thousand prisoners and deserters from the enemy, and fifteen thousand stand of arms captured. Thousands of the enemy are throwing away their arms. A farmer says that, when Beauregard learned that Colonel Elliott had cut the railroad on his line of retreat, he became frantic, and told his men to save themselves the best way they could. We captured nine locomotives and a number of cars. One of the former is already repaired, and is running today. Several more will be in running order in a few days. The result is all that I could possibly desire. H. W. Halleck, Major-General Commanding.
