Pope did not "push hard" upon me with 40,000 men, thirty miles from Corinth, on the 4th inst., for my troops occupied a defensive line in rear of "Twenty Mile Creek," less than 25 miles from Corinth, until the 8th inst., when the want of good water induced me to retire at my leisure to a better position; moreover, if Gen. Pope had attempted, at any time during the retreat from Corinth, to push hard upon me, I would have given him such a lesson as would have cheeked his ardor; but he was careful to advance on after my troops had retired from each successive position.

Major General Halleck must be a very credulous man indeed to believe the absurd story of "that farmer," He ought to know that the burning of two or more cars on a railroad is not sufficient to make "Beauregard frantic" and ridiculous! especially when I expected every moment to hear of the capture of his marauding party, whose departure from Farmington had been communicated to me the day before, and I had given in consequence all necessary orders; but a part of my forces passed Booneville an hour before the arrival of Col. Elliott's command, and the other part arrived just in time to drive it away and liberate the convalescents captured; unfortunately, however, not in time to save four of the sickle, who were barbarously consumed in the station-house!

Beauregard. to which brief allusion has been made through the medium of the telegraph. It will be seen that the opinion heretofore expressed with regard to the falsity of Gen. Haileck's dispatches, is fully sustained by this straight-forward statement: Headq'rs Western Department, June 17th, 1862. Gentlemen: My attention has just been called to the following dispatch (published in your issue of yesterday) of Major-General Halleck, commanding enemy's forces, which, coming from such a source, is most remarkable in one respect — that it contains as many misrepresentations as lines: Washington, June 4. 1862.--The following dispatch was received this afternoon at the War Department: Halleck's Headquarters, June 4, 1862.
