MEMPHIS, TENN., January 11, 1863-3:30 p.m.

Major-General H. W. HALLECK, General-in-Chief.

General McClernand has fallen back to White River and gone on a wild-goose chase to the Post of Arkansas. I am ready to reinforce, but must await further information before knowing what to do.

U. S. GRANT,
Major-General, Commanding.
