7, via Summit, May 19th. --The news from Alexandria is up to-day before yesterday. Banks has been there fourteen days, cut off from all communication. It is supposed that he will attempt to cut his way through by way of Marksville. A large flotilla of gunboats went up Red River yesterday morning. Heavy firing was soon after heard in the direction of our batteries in Fort De Russey. The result is not known. Steele has retreated with the remnant of his army to Little Rock, pursued by Price and Marmsduke. Col. Scott attacked the transport Mississippi yesterday opposite the mouth of Red River, striking her twelve times. A gunboat was shelling our forces at the time.--The damage done is unknown, but there was great confusion on board. A cavalry dash was made on Sunday into a plantation adjoining Port Hudson, capturing a stockade fort garrisoned by negroes. Sixty-five mules, some horses and clothes were captured, a mill burnt, and twenty of the garrison killed.
