Yankee Trophies Recovered.

--The New Orleans Era, in alluding to the recent battle in Louisiana, gives the following:

Col. Brisbin, of Gen. Lee's staff, had his horse's head blown off, while riding across the field, by a shell, and would have been taken had not some of the men pulled him out. He succeeded in capturing a rebel horse and leaving the field on its back. Col. Brisbin lost in his truck, in the baggage train, the sash taken from Gen. Barksdale on the field at Gettysburg, which had been made a present to him, and Gen. Villepigue's sabre, taken from him in Virginia.
