Activity in the GuIr, department.

New ORLEANS, March 12,--There Is con-
siderable stir and activity In military mat
ters here. Gen. Banks Is on the eve of his
departure for Washita. Louisiana. His OBJ
jective point Is probably Alexandria. A
fleet of Admiral POrter's gunboats has al
r ady started for that place. 1t is expected
that rather formidable works of defense
will be encountered by the ironclads, one
'Of which Is the newly anchored Ozark. be-
tween the mouth Of Red river and Alexan-
dria. Gen. Lees cavalry left this city about
n week ago. Their destination is supposed
to be westward. Madisonville, small town
on Lake Ponchartrain, opposite New Or
leans, has been evacuated. It was occupied
by our forces under General Grover on the
18th of January, and extensive fortifca-
tions thrown up on the land side.
The works were left intact, but add moth
ing to the strength of the place for the reb-
els, as It Is easily approached by water. The
object In occupying the place was to open
communication with Baton Rouge. Gen.
Growers whole force has been ordered to
concentrate at the latter place. 1t is be-
lieved some sort of an understanding has
been entered upon between Gen. Banks and
Steele, by which western Louisiana and
southern Arkansas, are to be cleared of
rebel troops. a5sis asI4 elct.I.t
: An order has just been issued by Gen.
Banks to hold an election for delegates to
the Constitutional Convention ON the 18th.
The Convention meets In New Orleans on
the 9th of April. There are to be one
hundred and fifty delegates chosen on the
white basis, as per census of 1860. New
Orleans will have sixty-three members.

Another Sensntion.

New YORK, March ia Washington
letter to the Tribune gives the following
account of plan submitted by Col. Nor
grare to the rebel War Department in No
vember: One hundred and fifty picked
men were to go secretly North, and take
quarters in Washington, Georgetown, Bal
timore and Alexandria, SO as to be able to
communicate daily with each other, and
upon day fixed by their leader, were to
assemble in Washington for the purpose of
making the seizure; the President it is
claimed, could be easily seized at quiet
hour at the White House, or in going to or
returning from church, or on some other
favorable occasion, and thrust into car
riage and driven off; the carriage was to
be Joined few miles out of the city by
twenty-five or thirty armed men ON horse
back. .s1sI ~ rtrr
1t was proposed to drive to Indian Point
about 25 miles south of Washington, two or
three relays of fleet horses being stationed
on the way, where a boat was to be in wait
ing to cross the river and land the captive
few miles south of Occoquan, when it
would be an easy matter for his captors to
work theirway with him through the woods
by night into the rebel lines. TO prevent,
pursuit every bridge between Washington
and the Point were to be destroyed.

the reported hanging of several companies

FIRE.-About nine o'clock last evening a
fire broke out in stable situated at
the southeast corner of Tod barracks.
Its origin we are unable to state. The
wind was blowing pretty strong at the
time in an easterly direction. The stable
was consumed, and Government horse or
two in it. A dry.house near, belonging to
the c. & X. R. R., some eighty or one hun
dred feet long, caught fire from the stable
and was burned, together with most of its
contents, including large amount of lum-
Der, car-springs, etc.
The fire was communicated to one or two
other smaller buildings, in the immediate
vicinity, which were also destroyed. The
Fire Department was promptly on hand.
Its main exertions were directed to saving
the railroad workshops and the barracks
from taking fire. In this it was successful.
We have no reliable estimate of the loss
sustained, but it was probably several
thousand dollars. .,. ,.,i
