ner in which it was conducted, the perfect suc-
cess which attended it at every step, the rapid
ity with which it was executed, or the impor-
tance of the objects achieved. The enemy
had boasted that he was nvincible, and had
even promised his soldiers that he would lead
them into New Orleans within two weeks, BY
a series of accidents, he had obtained several
gunboats from us, and had built others, so
that he appeared upon the waters of Western
Louisiana with formidable fleet. He had
constructed Notifications behind which he con-
fdently awaited the approach of our troops.
Gen. Banks took command and direction of
the important movement in person, and by
his presence in the field and his ceaseless Wig
lance wrought out the results for which he
looked in manner that will give him a high
rank as military commander. The enemy
was driven whenever he attempted to make a
stand his gunboats were destroyed, his trans
ports seized or burned ;-two thousand prison.
ers were captured; there was no relaxation of
the pursuit until the enemy was scattered, and
for all practical purposes utterly destroyed.
The whole country, in fact, was hopelessly lost
to the enemy as our triumphant column pushed
on, successful at every step.
By this brief and brilliant campaign the Gen.
has restored the authority of the Union i'm the
richest and most important portion of Louisi-
ana. The possessions Of the rebels i'm our
State are reduced to very narrow limits, and it
will not be long before the hated ensign of
treason will nowhere float within our borders.
The great source of the enemys supplies has
been cut off, and the rebel States west have
been separated from those in the east.
1t is cheering and delightful thought, that
all this rich country, SO recently restored to
to the Union by our arms, will be henceforth
and forever free under the PROCLAMATION of Pre-
sident Lincoln. The free labor experiment in
this department, SO eminently successful has
proven the advantage of free labor, and solved
the problem of slavery in Louisiana. What
ever discouragements our planters may tenn
porarily experience, we look forward to
glorious future for our State. The rebellion ID
now all but crushed withinits limits, and hund-
reds who have served in the armies of the
traitors, are ioyfully copeipg back to renew
their allegiance to the n Hey never should
have deserted. The people welcome the ban
ner under which they were born, and under
which they will die. The fetters fall from'the
limbs of every slave: the advance of the Union
army brings the long-expected day of deliver
ance, and the Improbable and clumsy system
Of slave labor will be superseded by the wiser,
better and more civilized system OF free labor
Louisiana, indeed has been carried through an
ordeal of fire and blood by the infamous treas
on OF her former leaders, but she will come out
of it rid fan evil that has rested upon her like
an incubus. and when the Union is fully restor-
ed she will find in hernew and free institutions
the elements of prosperity that could never
have been achieved under the old
