IMPORTANT ORDlR.-Gen. Baker has issued
An order, embodying the many orders from
the War Department, concerning officers and
soldiers absent without leave, which will be
found to be of considerable interest to this
class of delinquents. The orders are render
ed necessary by the continued absence OF .
large number of officers and soldiers from
their respective regiments. The only excuses
allowed for leaves Of absence are order OF
leave of the War Department, disability
from wounds received in the service, and dis
ability from disease. But any officer or pri'
vate, whose health permits him to visit water
ing places, or places Of amusement, or make
social visits, or walk about the town, city OF
neighborhood in which he may be, will be
considered ct for duty. The United States
Marshals, the mayor and chief Of the police Of
any city, the sheriff Of the respective ooun'
ties, postmasters and Justices of the Peace,
are authorized to act as special provost mar
shals, and arrest these deserters.

NEW YORK, April I.
The steamer Eastern Queen, IRON New Or
leans 10Th ult., via Key West LIST inst, has ar
rived. She brings about sixty soldiers from
Gen. Banks department.
Capt Collins reports that while at Fort
Phillip. Southwest Pass, he was boarded by a
United States boarding officer, who reported
having received a telegram from New Orleans,
stating that the rebels had begun TO eyacuate
Port Hudson.
A scouting party of thirteen rebels had been
captured near Baton Rouge.
Col. Dudleys brigade had made an expedi-
ton 10 point on the west side OF the Misss-
sippi. half way between Port Hudson aud
Point Coupee, and burned the rebel steamer
Hope with 600 barrels of molasses, and at the
Hermitage destroyed 1900 barrels of molasses,
a rebel machine shop, and a granary contain
ing $4,000 bushels of corn, besides several
buildings, including the post-office.
An expedition 10 Ponchatoula and Pass
Manchec was completely successful. The
troops consisted of the 9th Michigan, a battal-
ion of the l65th New York, and parts of the
nth New York and oath Maine regiments,
with two pieces of artillery, manned by men
from the 9th Connecticut. The gunboat Bar
ataria and the yacht Corypheus accompanied
them. Ponchatoula was occupied after some
skirmishing with the rebel cavalry, 800 strong,
and the railroad bridge two miles beyond was
destroyed after the rebels had been driven
from it by detachment of the 9th Michigan.
The bridge was 500 feet long. A large amount
Of -four, tobacco and other stores fell into our
hands. Our forces now occupy Ponchatoula,
Springfield and Pass Manchec, and the rebel
cavalry is said to be so hedged in that escape
is difficult. Three cotton laden schooners
were captured near Ponchatoua.
Collector Ballett had 3. .oended all trans
portation permits above Kew Orleans unless
a military necessity until otherwise ordered.
This has been necessary to prevent attempted
frauds
Texas advices through rebel sources say
that Magruder has issued an order granting
all persons permission to transport cotton to
the Mexican frontier. He says ii is impossi-
BILE to sustain his army without purchasing
with cotton supplies brought from foreign
countries.

sE-A ballot, in all respects similar to the
Republican Union ballot, excepting that 1t
bore the name of Darius II. Ingraham for
Municipal Judge, was circulated In the various
wards yesterday. Some few of them were de-
posted before the bogus ticket was dscov-
cred. 1t was then kicked overheard without
much ceremony. Mr.. Kingsbury's majority
was reduced some few votes by this unscrup-
ulous way of electoneering. We do not know
who got up the ticket; but we do know that
they were not printed at the office where the
regular ticket was printed.

From Port Royal-The Attack on Charleston
Delayed by Storm-Cole's Island in
Possession of Federal Troops.

NEW loRk, April I.
The Hilton Head correspondent of the
Tribune, under date of March 81, states that
rough weather is now the only obstacle to the
immediate consummation of the aggressive
plans of Gen. Hunter and Admiral Du Pont.
We confidently look for the sailing OF the last
OF the iron-clads remaining in port and the
feet of transports for the point of attack in
the course of the next three days at iarthest
Several OF the surf boats, prepared for the
expedition, were wrecked by the storm on the
beach last night. Their loss, however, will
not result In any detention. Gen. Hunters
flag ship will be the Ben. Deford The adrni-
raj will have the Wabash here, and personally
direct the movements of the iron-cads from
the Ironsides.
The correspondent Of the Herald writing
from Coles Island, S. C., nine miles from
Charleston, 18th ult, states that the Tooth n.
