A Federal account of the position of Matters in Banks's army at Baton Rouge. A correspondent of the Boston Evening Journal, writing from Baton Rouge under date of Jan. 28th, gives the annexed account of the position of affairs in Banks's army at that place: Considerable trouble has arisen here on account of the injudiciousness of Col. Daniel, of the Third Native Guards, colored regiment, who placed a negro captain as officer of the day on duty, and put a while man on duty as lieutenant of the guard the same day and in the same camp. Our white troops, when ordered out to salute the colored officer of the day, refused to obey the order, and laid down their arms.--The officers and privates of the 13th Maine regiment would pay no regard to the colored officer, and threatened his life if he attempted to coerce them into obedience. I hear that four officers have sent in their resignations on account of this unpleasant state of affairs. There is no need of appointing negro

hen the double purpose of punishing the enemy and supplying himself with goods and valuables can be accomplished at the same time, the appropriateness and felicity of the proceeding is indescribable. We give one more picture of the Southern homes the vandals are desolating. They had passed Grand Gulf, and were two miles inland. "Gens. Carr and Benton are in the van, and halt, panting with excessive heat, and wearied with want of a night's rest, in front of the magnificent grounds of Mrs. Daniel's estate." A fine place, indeed, for Carr and Benton, who seem to know where to stop! The writer proceeds: The residence, with its cupola, its airy galleries, and well high two score of immense pillars surrounding it on three sides, looks like a temple, from its commanding height. It is the grandest residence I have seen in the South, and one of the grandest in the country. The structure itself cost $80,000. Its interior adornments are correspondingly palatial. The writer's

Capture of Yankee recruiting officers. --Col. Roddy's command last week captured in Tennessee Col. Wm. P. Kendrick, of the 3d Tennessee (Yankee) regiment, and Capt. Daniel E Bonham, of the same regiment, both engaged in recruiting in Tennessee for the Federal. Several privates engaged in the same service were also captured. Col. Kendrick is a native of Tazewell county, Va., and the unworthy son of Rev. W. P. Kendrick, a Methodist minister, who has suffered in property and person for refusing to take the oath to support Lincoln's Government. He has two brothers in the Confederate service, one of whom belonged to the command which captured the renegade. On the 15th of May last Wm F. Corbin and T. J. McGraw, two Confederate soldiers, members of the 4th Kentucky cavalry, were shot dead at Sandusky, Ohio, by order of Gen. Burnside, for recruiting for the Confederate service in Kentucky Comment upon what the fate of Kendrick and Bonham should be is unnecessary; but the following pa
