Notes of the War. A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, who left Island No. 10 on the evening of the 19th ult., the fifth day of the bombardment, writes as follows: The bombardment of Island no.10. For reasons which it would not be proper to make public, I think Gen. Trudeau, who has command of the artillery, aided by Gen. Marsh Walker, of the infantry, will be able to hold the position for some time, despite the circumstances operating against them. In the meantime, it is to be hoped that the new gunboats from your city will be of some service, and that finally, Beauregard and Bragg having routed Buell, Johnston may be enabled-to regain Nashville, and Forts Henry and Donelson, and Polk Columbus and Hickman. This done, the enemy's gunboats will have to cease their bombardment of the island, or render themselves liable to be out off.

he Federal army are now drawing their rations. He says, further, that he cut a canal six miles long around the island from above, four miles of which was through a heavy forest, and sawed off the trees four feet under water.

Colonel Baker's, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Col. Clark's Tennessee. Col. Marsh Walker's Arkansas, 40th Confederate regiment. Col. Smith's Arkansas. Col. Terry's battalion, Arkansas. The total number taken is not far from eighteen hundred. He describes our guns as being but indifferently spiked; but we may say the same of Yankee work in this respect. Modern appliances for the removal of spikes are so ingenious that a single night or day will suffice to withdraw any number, and this fact is therefore no reasonable indication of carelessness or ignoran
