Seven DAYS ago the Rebels under Breckenridge
made reconnaissance on Baton Rouge, with force
Of two regiments and two pieces of artillery. They
were discovered from orr lookout, which commands
svew Of about six miles, and when they arrived

esuaed them 10 skedaddle. In one heap, where a
Shell exploded the Union soldiers found seven dead
Rebels.
Our troops then went on board the transports

force At that place the houses in front of the forth
fes,ions have been burned so as to command clear
