A correspondent who accompanied Gen
eral Banks army on the occasion of its
occupation of Alexandria, Louisiana
shows what hard scraping the seceshers
had in order to live:
aArtioles Of domestic consumption are
enormously high here, and how poor
man lived at all it is impossible for me to
divine. Supper for three, on the night Of
our arrival, was $40, and all the three got
was corn bread, ham and eggs. Breakfast
and lodging, "a; breakfast alone, $3.50.

Mr.. Elliott of this city, who has had con-
siderable association with Mr.. Greenwood
and others, who are building monitors and
other iron-clads for the Government, has
made a model Of novel hsrbor battery
which he calls q war turtle,oEhich is enti-
tied to the attention Of those who believe
in iron-clad floating batteries for harbOr
defense. If the Government wants hoat-
ing batteries, which for iron armor give
up sea-worthiness and speed, there is a
more economical plan than the monitors,
which are as costly as frigates. The econ
omy, and greater degree Of proteotion,
and entire security for the motive power
are what Mr.. Elliotfs plan aims at.-CiH-
