u Teche, and sending another column, Col. James P. Major's Texas cavalry brigade, composed of the regiments of Joseph Phillips, W. P. Lane, B. W. Stone and C. L. Pyron, to cover the movement by a daring dash along the Mississippi down from Port Hudson. On the 18th Phillips made a dash into Plaquemine, took 87 prisoners and burned three steamers; and on the 20th Lane captured Thibodeaux, with 140 prisoners. On the 21st Pyron's regiment, 206 strong, attacked a force of 1,000 Federals at Lafourche crossing, and had won victory by an assault of unparalleled daring when Federal reinforcements compelled his withdrawal. Major then proceeded to Bayou Boeuf and took position to attack the Federal works. Gen. Tom Green, meanwhile, with his brigade, including the Fifth Texas, E. Waller's battalion, Fourth and Seventh, and Baylor's regiments, and the Valverde and Nichols' batteries, invested Brashear City, a party of picked men, under the gallant Maj. Sherod Hunter, turning the works. Hunter

he centre of Federal establishments in that district. Protected by a gunboat and a large fortification mounted with heavy guns on the side of Atchafalaya, covered at the north and south by marshes which extended on one side to the lake, and on the other side, as far as the eye could reach, toward the shore of the Gulf of Mexico, this town seemed to be protected against any sudden attack. A few small posts were écheloned along the New Orleans railroad, the Bayou Lafourche, Thibodeaux, and Lafourche. Finally, at Donaldsonville, a point where this bayou emerges from the Mississippi, a fort had been constructed along the edge of the river, which was in charge of Major Bullen, Of the Twenty-eighth Maine.—Ed. an intelligent, energetic officer, with two hundred and twenty-five men. At the news of Taylor's return to Alexandria and Opelousas, <*>Texans, most of whom had left him, hastened to join his force again. These daring partisans were admirable soldiers for such an expedition a

Louisiana Legislature. New Orleans, Dec. 13. --On Wednesday, in the House of Representatives the Committee reported unfavorably on Mr. McFee's bill for the confiscation of goods from the North. When the Mississippi resolutions came up, Convention of the two Houses was held, and in eloquent address was delivered by Mr. Lutams, the Commissioner from Mississippi. Many ladies were present, and great interest prevailed. Mr. Bark, of LaFourche, offered a resolution for Commissioners to visit all the Southern States, on which a long debate occurred. Mr. McFee offered a resolution, directing the purchase of arms in foreign countries, in preference to the North. Randall Hunt, of New Orleans, made an eloquent speech on the Convention bill, which passed without amendment. After appropriate resolutions of thanks, and for communication with other States, the Legislature adjourned.

nd of hope over the solemn hour of the great anniversary which the nation this day celebrates. The capture of Brashear city La.--a garrison goes and up — all of banks's heavy baggage lost. A letter to the New York World, dated New Orleans, June 26th, confirms the capture by the Confederates of Brashear City, La., and the large amount of stores there, and also the garrison. The correspondent says: The force at Brashear expected an attack, but they looked for the advance from Lafourche, and were fairly surprised — literally, as well as in a military sense — when at daylight Tuesday morning two batteries, planted the night previous, opened upon them from Berwick City, opposite, and not an hour after came crashing through the woods a mixed mass of horse and footmen. There were not more than six hundred of them, and they were a p Monton's force from the west bank of tche. They crossed on rafts and flat- boats, landing on the south bank of Lake Patondre, charged into town, <

who shall in any way offend against the orders on this subject. E. E. Lee, General. The situation in Louisiana--the Federal Despatch of Henrico the State cotton cotton. A letter from New Orleans, dated the 26th ult., to the New York World, seems to despair of the Yankees holding Louisiana, or even New Orleans. Gen. Enory is in command of the city Five gunboats and an armed storeship are flying on the river. It says: The Confederates occupy the entire State west of Lafourche Crossing and north of the Opelousas Railroad. The situation is more interesting and critical than it has been at any time since April 25th, 1862, when Farragut, with his fleet, appeared before New Orleans and demanded the unconditional surrender of the city. These things cannot but be disheartening to those Northern editors who have published so glowing accounts of the immense quantity of cotton and sugar which must necessarily come into market after the advance through the rich Attakanas cou
