His very serene highness Prince Major-General Polignac, commanded the rebels, and he was evidently burning to distinguish his new born titles with deeds worthy their exalted quality. Brigadier-General Mower received his Highness with befitting honors, and after one of the most brilliant affairs of the war — the whole engagement lasting scarcely beyond an hour's time — despatched his Eminence back to those who sent him, with a loss in killedwhich deserve mention is a charge by the Twenty-sixth New York battery at the engagement of Avoyelles Prairie.
