ive different engagements. After this battle General Liddell was transferred to the Trans-Mississippi department and assigned to the command of the sub-district of North Louisiana. Here he found as his only military force Col. Isaac F. Harrison's brigade of cavalry, small in numbers and poorly armed, but valiant men. He had also two sections of available artillery. During the Red river campaign he operated first about Campti. During the retreat of the Federal fleet from Boggy bayou to Grand Ecore, he kept the boats continually annoyed by sharpshooters and artillery, and stopped the fleet at Berdelon's Point one day with Fauntleroy's guns. On April 24th, suggesting to General Taylor a movement upon Alexandria, to which the general commanding replied that he intended to drive them in and out of Alexandria, Liddell pushed his little command into Pineville, and attacked the gunboats. Retiring he was attacked but drove the Federal detachment back to Pineville. In August, 1864, he wa

Prepare your command for moving south with as little delay as possible. The smallest Arkansas brigade of infantry with the cavalry under Marmaduke, should be left in Arkansas. Your line of march will be either direct to Shreveport or by Minden to Campti, crossing the river at Grand Ecore. October 11th, Colonel Dobbin reported that he had been driven from Tulip to Dallas county, 80 miles southwest of Little Rock. On October 24th, Marmaduke, with his division, marched upon Pine Bluff, which the enemy had occupied a few days after Steele's entry into Little Rock. Having crossed the Saline, fordable at any point, by a night march from Princeton, he arrived at Pine Bluff on October 25th, and sent a flag to the commander at 9 a. m. demanding surrender. The place was o

of faithful William Vowinkle, of company C, who continued in the discharge of his duties as Orderly. Subsequently, Lieutenant W. Johnson, of company D, Debray's regiment, became Brigade Ordnance Officer; Captain Lewis Maverick and Lieutenant G. I. Sherwood, both of Wood's regiment, were selected, the former to be Brigade Inspector, and the latter to be Second Assistant Adjutant-General, and Surgeon Corley, of Gould's regiment, became Brigade Surgeon. The Federal army, falling back on Grand Ecore, on Red River, at a short distance from Natchitoches, entrenched itself under the protection of its gunboats. Our cavalry following close on its heels, established itself on the surrounding pine hills, and by frequent patrols, in and about Natchitoches, prevented depredations, and, probably saved that old town from the devastation which signalized every step of the retreating Federals. Soon it became apparent that Banks was preparing to move farther down the Red River. The greater par

Among the reinforcements on their way to join Lee are 12,000 new recruits from Mobile. The deserters further state that some days ago seven days rations were issued to Lee's army, and that it was currently believed his intention was to commence a forward movement. The Red river expedition. A telegram from Cairo, dated the 21st instant, says: Advices from Grand Ecore, Red river, to the morning of the 15th, have been received. The battle on the 8th was fought at the Sabine Cross Roads. The rebels were commanded by Gens. Magrude, Holmes, and Taylor, all under Gen Kirby Smith. The rebel loss in the first day's fight is placed at fifteen hundred. The second day's fight was at Pleasant Hill, where, as previously stated, the enemy was most gloriously routed and driven from the field by our forces under Gen. A. J.

Progress of the War. We take from our Northern files and Confederate exchanges the latest intelligence about the progress of the war: The fight in Louisiana. The very latest Northern intelligence published about the recent fight in Louisiana is a telegram dated at Grand Ecore, La, April 11th, and is published in the New York Herald: The advance guard of Gen. Banks's army, comprising two brigades of cavalry, one of infantry and four batteries, was attacked by twenty thousand rebels near Mansfield, fifty miles this side of Shreveport and fifteen miles beyond Pleasant Hill, on Friday last Compelled to yield to superior number, our forces fell back to Gen. Emory's division, of the 19th army corps, which repelled the advance of the enemy and repulsed him with great slaughter. Gen Banks deemed it prudent to fall back to Pleasant Hill, where he could choose his own position, and on Saturday, about 5 P. M, met a renewed attack of the enemy with Emory's and Smith's troo

From Trans Mississippi. Mobile, April 25. --Western dispatches confirm the defeat of Banks on the 14th and 15th at Grand Ecore, losing 4,500 prisoners with their camp equipage.

rebels and held them for about twenty five minutes, when they were forced to retire, which they did slowly, and as night came on the bloody conflict ended. The next evening Gen. A. J. Smith came up with his command and relieved Gen. Franklin, and whipped the rebels badly. Twelve pieces of cannon were recaptured and eight hundred prisoners taken. A letter from another private in the same battery says: Our corps (the 13th) was all cut to pieces, and we fell back to this place, Grand Ecore, five or six miles from the battle field, to organize. We lost twenty four pieces of artillery, all that were in the fight. This letter also says that Gen. Smith captured two thousand prisoners and thirty-six guns in a fight on the 9th. Still another letter says: We get all sorts of reports from the front. The latest is that Gen. Smith whipped the rebels, taking two thousand prisoners and eighteen guns. The expedition is no doubt broken up, and our troops are falling b
