From Louisiana.

Port Eudson, April 9.
--All quiet here. The enemy's fleet above and below have disappeared. The former are above Bayon Sara.

Forty exchanged and paroled prisoners from New Orleans arrived here yesterday.

The troops are in excellent spirits, and vigilantly watching for four of the Yankee vessels.

Some excitement was caused last night by a log on fire which floated down the river.

A skiff with negroes, attempting to pass the batteries, was captured this morning.

Money Miss., April 9.--Reliable information from St. Joseph's, La., states that Harrison's pickets have been skirmishing with the enemy.

Three flats, loaded with Yankees, came down the Tensas yesterday.

Harrison's pickets captured a negro bearing dispatches from the lower to the upper fleet. The nature of the communication has not been made public. The negro was hung to-day.

The enemy has been reinforced with three regiments.
