BEFORE CORINTH, May 25 – A reconnoitering party from Pope’s command had a skirmish yesterday, resulting in a complete rout of three rebel regiments, with a loss of their knapsacks, blankets and haversacks and several killed and wounded, and six taken prisoners. The regiments fled in confusion across the creek. Our loss is four wounded.
