TIE OPELoUsAs CoUNTRY.-This region, the
scene of Gen. Banks late successful operations
lies West Of the Mississippi, to the southwark
Of Port IIudson. Franklin, the chief place in
the lower part of the country, is l44 miles
West Of New Orleans, in a rich planting section.
1t is port Of entry and a great sugar mart.
The number Of steamboats, and gunboats destroy
ed at the place by the rebels indicates its impor
lance in navigation. Opeousas is OF miles
northwest OF New Orleans. and contains a col
lege and about 5000 inhabitants. The country
which lies between these two places has been Of
great value to the rebels, in afordipg supplies
Of food and salt, and its occupation by our forces
will be severely felt.
Our news by way of New Orleans did not
come down to Gen. Banks attack on Opelousas
but dispatch from Memphis, about eight days
later, leaves no doubt that he had been 81 cess
full. His forces were then said to be at Point
Coupee, on the Mississippi, about twelve miles
ab0Ue Port Hudson If this be correct, the on,
~ inference is that Gen. Banks had entirely
cleared out the Opelousas country, and taken a
large part OF his forces around Port Hudson, On
the Louisiana side, and was ready to Cooperate
with the gunboats and transports which had
run the Vicksburg batteries, thus efacting
preliminary Junction of our forces on the Miss
lseppi, and making a substantial beginning in
the work OF opening the river Boston Journal. !

NEW YORK, April 16.
Advices from Suffolk, Virginia, to the
l4th, state that our pickets were driven in
on the morning Of the 18th. Skirmishing
ensued in sight OF our breastworks. The
enemy we're erecting Notifications on the
left bank of the Nansemond river, four
miles from Suffolk Seven of our gun
boats shelled the rebels, compelling them
to abandon them and the signal tower on
the Petersburg Railroad. Another skir-
mish in the afternoon eDsued. We drove
the enemy to the woods. All houses af-
fording positions for rebel sharpshoOters
have been destroyed.
During the night we erected new forti-
6eations, and on the morning of the 14th,
the gunboats shelled the woods wherever
the enemy was likely to be.
Rebel deserters report the capture Of
the whole garrison at Washington N. c.,
numbering 1000 The report is disbe-
lieyed.
A deserter also reported that the rebels
in front Of Suffolk numbered 5000, with
eighty pieces of artillery.
On the morning Of the 14th rebel artil-
lery opened from the direction Of Somer-
town. Our forts responded and the enemy
changed position. The firing lasted an
hour, when the rebels fell back mile, but
again advanced, and firing on both sides

WASHINGTON, April IL

WASHINGTON, April 10.
Special to the Tribune
The case of the anglo-rebel steamer Pc
terhof continues to engage the adminis-
tration as well as diplomatic circles here.
1t is understood that Lord Lyons has re-
quested that the British mail found ON
board be returned to him unopened, and
that the State Department are ready to ac-
cede to his wishes. Secretary Welles is of
the opinion that whatever the abstract
right and wrong Of the question may be,
the District Court which has case before
it for adjudication can alone decide, the
statute being peremptOry that all papers
and writings found on board Of captured
vessels shall be transmitted unopened to
the Court before which such vessel is pro-
ceeded against. Judge Belts last week. in
vited Mr.. Fishsbald, British Consul, to be
present while the mail was being opened,
bat he did not appear. The Judge would
then have proceeded to open the mail, as
we are informed but for the reception of
kilograms from Washington.
The presence of force of rebels at Rec
tOrtOWn, Middlebury and below that re-
gion is known here.
The rumor started here that there had
been skirmishing at Fairfax Court House
is not true.
