The SECRET OF BANKS ExPEDITIoN.-The
New Orleans correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, says that notwithstanding the Sc
crecy that had attended the movements of the
(Banks) expedition, Gov Shcpey assured him
that he knew, through secession sources, three
weeks ago, that Banks was to supercede Butler
The secret was secret only with loyal men. 1t
is also stated that on the occupation of Baton
Rouge by the troops under Gen. Grover he was
told by several citizens that they knew two weeks
before the expedition sailed from New York that
it was bound for New Orleans, and that DISPOSE
tons had been made accordingly. Orders came
to them in relation to the change, from Rich
mond, where the whole scheme was understood
weeks before it was known elsewhere

FORT MACON.

At latest accounts General Burnside
who had captured the port Of Beaufort,
n. c., had not yet obtained possession Of
Fort Macon, which was garrisoned BY ;
force of FIVE hundred rebels. This fort is
situated on bluff on Bogaes Bank, .
mile and three quarters from Beaufort,
commanding tho entrance to the harbor,
and having full sweep over the main
channel. Opposite the fort is Shackel-
ford Bank, one mile and half across.
Fort Macon is hexagonai in fern. with
tive tiers of guns--one in casemated bomb
proof, and the other Gen barbette." It's
armament consists Of twenty 32-poundsrs,
thirty 24-pounders, three field pieces for
aankipg defense, and thirty five howiuers
and noFtars Of varying ~calsbrs. Five
hundred men constitute full garrison.
Fort Macon cost the Government in
its construction $3.50 600, and the value
of the armament is $4,000. The ma
sonry and iron work were much out Of
repair when the fort was seized By the
rebels, which was on the Cd of january
of last year, BY order Of Governor Ellis
A great deal of labor has, however, been
expended upon the works since that time,
to complete its defense. Fort Macon will
be taken BY siege. Communications have
already been entirely cut off, by land and
water, and the garrison must, sooner OF.
later. surrender.

IF We were mistaken in saying tha,
supplies for the Hospital had been car
ried away by the 18th regiment. We
are assured that they took nothing but
what properly belonged to them, and
we're very particular in not taking any
thing that belonged to the Hospital.
The present scarcity is owing in great
measure to the fact that large part oil
the articles contributed for the Hospital
last fall and winter, were sent off 10 Iowa
regiments, under the impression that nc
more troops would rendezvous here, and
therefore, that those articles would no. be

Mr.. Mallory, in opposing the amend

said by the friends of the institution, that
such tax would be grossly unjust, and
by the par excellence enemies Of slavery
that the imposition of such tax would
admit property in man. He denied the
soundness Of both proportions.
