Hudson had supplies for not over week,
OF fortnight at the outside, and that
their force did not'exceed. all told, $4,000
men. In the light of these several state
ments il is by no means unreasonable to
suppose that the movement OF Gen. Banks
contemplated as its final result co-opera-
ton with the feet in an attack on Port
Hudson.
But should the ultimate object of this
expedition beAhe cutting off the rebel sup
plies by way Of Red River. there would
seem to be no reason to doubt the accom-
plishment of that end. The rebel force
does not appear to have been able. at any
point, to stand before the twenty-five tho u
sand men in Banks command and, driven
from their fortified positions, it is not like
ly that IN the open country beyond they
could offer any effectual resistance to his
advance. Once upon the Red River the
rebel granary would practically be in our
position, and the enemy both at Vicksburg
and Port Hudson woull be inevitably sub
jected to most unpleasant consequences. if
not indeed to the necessity of abandoning
their most i'm portant strongholds.
The parish of ST. Landry. of which Gen.
Banks was, at last accounts. in possession
is one of the largest in Louisiana. having
population of some twenty-thres thousand,
of whom twelve thousand are slaves

cotton can be raised cheaper by hired
