Generals McClellan and Halleck

The St. Louis Republican, of Tuesday says: “The newspapers have given circulation to reports in relation to these Generals which are utterly untrue, but evidently designed to create misunderstandings and jealousies.  We are authorized by General Halleck to state that he has at all times received the most hearty cooperation from General McClellan, and that in all the military operations in this Department he has had the advice and approval of the General-in-Chief.  The two Generals are in almost constant communication by telegraph.
