The late Battles above New Orleans.

From an interesting letter IN the Boston Jour
nal, we clip the following items relative to the
recent movements in Gen. Banks army
About three miles above the city of Berwick
the enemy's fire first opened upon our vanguard.
The firing was with artillery, and did little, if
any mischief. Our advance scouts returned the
compliment, and the rebels skedaddled, hanging
upon our advance, however, and amusing our
boys by their bad practice. There was skirmish.
ing with the enemy periodically until our troops
reached the field in front of the rebel ~fortiica-
tons, above what is called Biceland. Here our
line of battle was formed, and the hot work
commenced. The line was composed eff the Sth
Vermont(on the right ia New York, 18th New
York, Tooth New York, 18th Connecticut, Balm
BRIDGES Battery and Oarruth's 9th Mass. on the
right and left TANKS. A few stray shots were
fired from the opposite shore of the Teche, but
the 18th New York Battery soon stopped their
sport by sending them over a few shells. When
our artillery first spoke the rebel guns on the
earthworks growled back their defiance, and for
som time a brisk fire was kept up by Carruth's
and Bainbridge's Batteries and the 18th New
York against the rebel earthworks which extern
ded for a mile at least each side Of the bayous,
which were considered ~impregnable. The Diana
at this time had come down from above, and
her firing added to the universal din.
This artillery duel was kept up till night,
when both armies ceased their firing, and our
forces fell back out of the enemy range.
The next morning early the battle again COM
menced. The Diana again came down to the
rebels aid and the Clifton fortunately came to
ours. The whole army was engaged to-day
with a slight reserve, and the fighting lasted all
day long. The heaviest loss was on our right.
A flank movement was ordered under the lead
of Col. Gooding of the Mass. 3lst, acting Brig
adler. The 3lst Mass, (under Lieut.. Col. Rod
man, Col. Ingrabam, acting Brigadier,) and the
l56th New York, comprised this party. They
crossed the Bayou, and advanced, often to their
waist through the mud, in order to gain the left
extreme OF the enemy's works, at our right.
Under this fire, all the troops behaved man
fully, Lieut.. Col. Rodman winning especial

praise. This fight on both sides of the Teche was
worthy Of the brayest veterans. Gen. Banks In
person superlntended every movement, riding
with the utmost nOnChaldnce on his horse IN the
shower of shot and shell. The battle was only
closed with the day, In the morning, the enc
nv had skedaddled from all their works, leaving
only stacks of mangled corpses to man their guns.
Gen. Weitzel started in pursuit, but got only
occasional volleys from his rear guard. When
he reached Franklin the enemy were well out OF
the place and the Diana in ruins. Here he
formed the junction with Gen. Growers army,
and with as little delay as possible, pushed on
in the direction of Newtown or New Iberia.
Some four hundred prisoners were taken by
Gen. Weitzel on his expedition, and nearly q
hundred by Gen. Grover. Most OF these have
been sent TO New Orleans. Among them were
Capt. Jewett, 10th New York, and Lieut. Allen,
of Gen. Weitzel's staff, who were taken on board
of the Diana by the rebels as they were making
a reconnaissance with a company OF men by
Gen. Weitzel's order. Both were wounded,
and escaped from the fact of their being on
board the Corney with the rebel wounded.
When the Diana was blown up it is reported
that two transport is were blown up, and all that
saved the Corney from a like destruction, was
the precious cargo On board.
1t has been ascertained from reliable sources,
that the rebel army was composed of the follow
ing troops The 18th, 5th, and 9TH Texas
mounted rifles, the 28th Louisiana (the d" Cres-
ent " regiment, of Shiloh memory the 18th
Louisiana, Foumet's Clack's Valleys, and the
Arizona battali0ns and Valvert's Semmes' the
Pelican and St. Mary's batteries. The rebel
loss in killed and wounded approximates to our
own,w while we have from various sources, taken
over a regiment OF prisoners, some of them 9TH.
GERS Of high rank, including one Brigadier Cen
eraI.
At the present writing our army has reached
New Iberia, having experienced little oppo-
%sition, the enemy fleeing as our army advanced.
The result is glorious. We have opened to
trade, and to the healthy growth of the Union
sentiment, of one of the finest tracts of land the
deadly upas of secession ever overshadowed. The
best plantations IN this State are in this dis
trict, and the people are intelligent, kind, and
hnmane, and the indications are, would about
all become unequivOcal Unionists it the degra-
ding rebel influence can be kept from them.
The cause of the Union we have not for a long
time seen in so hopeful a condition as here and
now, and in the enemy's own country. Take
heart, men of the North Give the good cause
your prayers, women of the North Have faith
equal to a grain of mustard seed, and the cause
is ours, the victory Is ours, and the result will
be the worlds jubilee.

From the HeFAld's correspondence,
witten al headquarters Of Gen. Banks,
Texas, the following details Of the Texas
expedition are compiled: On the morning
Of the 30th, a heavy norther WAS ex-
perienced, raging about IL hours, during
which the steamer Union and two
sohooners went down. The steamer
Zephyr had her machinery broken, and
was taken in tow by the gunboat 0wasco.
The whole feet. withthe exception Of
the Union and two schooners, arrived at
rendezvous on the Sd. The first landing
was made at Brazos Island on the I'd.
The 10th Maine, Col. Dryer, started
for Boca Ohica, took possession of the
pass, and encamped on the Sd. After q
reconnaissance of the mouth Of the Rio
GrAnde, q landing was effected on the
Texas shore. A high surf was running,
and four boats were capsized and seven
soldiers and two sailors drowned One of
the boats after returning from landing
her men, succeeded in picking up large
number of those in the water, and, the
Mexican shore being much nearer than
the other, they started for it, but the
Mexicans would not allow them TO land,
and the boat was compelled to cross the
river to the Texas side. During the
whole time not an armed rebel was seen.
The same correspondent says he oonnt-
ed 81 blockade runners in the Mexican
waters.
On the appearance of the feet off the
Texas shore, series of fires were seen
all along the coast by the rebels.
On the I'd boat was picked up con-
tanning two deserters from Texas caval-
ry, who stated that three rebel regiments
had been lately sent from the Rio Grande
TO Galveston and Sabine Pass, and q regi-
ment of cavalry had been sent to HOus-
ton, where Magruder is said to be. Most
of the rebel army is said to be scattered
at different points.

The Louisville Journal on Saturday
last made another exhibition of its ma
licious hatred of Gov. johnson. 1t is
not singular that the renegade New Eng
lander should hate the worthy Union
leader of Tennessee, and endeavor to
throw obstacles in the way of his sue
cossful administration Of the civil affairs
of the State. Gov johnson never hest
tated at any time as to his duty as an
American citizen to rebuke the traitors
who had conspired against the Govern
ment, and to support the Government in
its efforts to suppress the rebellion and
punish the leaders. He has acted upon
the principle that treason must be made
odious and traitors punished" Unless
this is done he knows, and the Journal
man knows, that although the rebellion
may be pressed to the wall and die out,
the spirit which gave it birth will re-
main, and become an active element in
the political controversies of the people,
and ultimately precipitAte the nation
into another and more desperate civil
war. Gov. johnson would avoid this
inevitable result of the shortsighted poll
oy of faint-hearted conservatism. He
would take advantage of the present re-
bellion to crush forever the insolent and
domineering spirit which, while it lives,
will permit the country to have no rest
no permanent peace.
On the other hand, the renegade Prem
tioe dallied with the traitors and con-
spirators in the outset of the rebellion
denounced the first proclamation calling
for 10000 volunteers-and has, on every
occasion since, whenever he thought he
could make point, assaulted the Admin
istration and endeavored to bring it into
disrepute with the people--and it is a
matter of doubt to this day, whether he
really wishes the Success of the Union
or rebel armies. A sOrdid wretch, whose
fingers are ever ready to clutch the gold
of any purchaser, it is believed chat his
apparent leaning to the side of his coun-
try, is for no other reason than that he
may obtain fat contracts, and thus put
money in HIS purse. he has Glove and
