federates retreating before Pope's advance, were nearly all overtaken and captured at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 8th; and about the same time the cavalry under Colonel W. L. Elliott took possession of the enemy's deserted works on the Tennessee shore. The result of General Pope's operations in connection with the services of the Carondelet below Island Number10 was the capture of three generals (including General W. W.
