Correspondence of the State Journal.
L. 5. STEAMER MOUND CIrY,"l
Miss. SQUADRON, April %.
My last was written l believe some ten
days since, and have not a very long budget
of news for you this time. We left Grand
Ecore for down the river little more than a
week since, and after humping over many
snags and getting fast on many sand-bar,
we have at length reached the Falls of Red
River, where all further progress is stopped
for the present.
The transports are all safe, although every
one Of them have been fired into and more
or less killed and wounded.
The rebels attacked the ironclad monitors
with musketry, displaying the greatest fool
hardness. As matter of course they were
repulsed with great slaughter by those eleven
inch shrapnel and grape shot. The feet
has saved all the transports, which is some
thing, for if they had not been protected
they would have most assuredly fallen into
the enemy's hands, some of them narrowly
escaping as it was.
The Eastport was the first boat to start
down the river. She got aground and laid
miles below she struck a snag, which sunk
her in few moments. This was one of the
finest vessels in the service, was Just off the
docks at Cairo and had as yet never fred her
guns. Her career has been singularly unfor-
tunate. She was captured from the rebels in
the Cumberland river and made in to a gum
boat. On her first trip she got on a bar at
Helena and broke her back. She was taken
to Cairo, and after about eight months of la
Dor bestowed on her, she came out first
rate gunboat and ram and was the only one
that went above the falls of Red River
Hopes are entertained of her being raised
The steamers Champion and Champion No. 5,
each carrying mammoth Wellington pump,
have gone up to her and the last report is
that she has been raised thirty inches Her
armament will be saved.
There has been singular fatality connected
with all the gunboats taken from the enemy.
The Little Rebel is too small for much service
in the Mississippi and draws too much water
to enter a smaller stream. The Gen. Bragg
is constantly needing repairs. The Gen. Price
in sinking the Cdnestoga destroyed better
boat than she ever was. The Sumter was
burned at Bayou Sara, and now the PASSPORT
has sunk twice.
There is not over three feet of water over
the falls at this point, and we do not expect
to get over until the June rise, and it is ex-
tremely,doubtful whether we do then or not,
as this river is very uncertain during the sum-
mer season. If we should not get over then
we can consider ourselves laid up until next
November. The ironclads which were left
below have gone into the Mississippi. The
weather is delightful and the trees are filed
with foliage, but the dreary monotony of a
summer spent here is anything but agreeable
to any of US.
There is some sickness in the feet, but
principally diarrhea, and no epidemic pre-
walls. j. B. A.

BATON ROUGE, La, April "a, 1864.
This regiment having been transferred to
cavalry after serving as infantry upwards of
two years, required two new companies, let
tered L and M. Orders for the organization
of said companies were issued by the Gov
ernor of your State, some months since, and
they are now organized-one of them on
having already arrived here, and the other
being on the way. Yesterdays morning re-
port showed that our regiment numbered
200 men all told, exclusive ofthe new COM
panies. About 200 of the number will be
mustered out of the service on the I'd of July
next, but it is expected that enough new re-
cruits will be obtained before that time, to
offset that number, and the regiment will be
1900 strong, to do battle for another three
years.
Since the late battles up Red River, of
whiclrI spoke in my last, no movements have
taken place, but everything remains as before
reported. Some fault is found by military
men in this department with Banks tactics
during the recent fights 1t is still an open
question which side received the severest pun
ishment
In the Louisiana State Constitutional Con-
vention which is now in session at New Or
leans, the following resolution was introduce
ed on the 2lst inst. by Mr. Gorlinski:
Whereas, On the evacuation of Baton Rouge, af-
ter the ever-m emorable battle of the 5th day of
August, 1862, Col. Paine, of the 4th Wisconsin
Volunteers, then commanding the post of Baton
Rouge, crowned his heroic deeds of that day by
act which has secured to the use of this Conven-
ton and the State, valuable public library, to-
gether with Thorpe's great painting of Gen. Zacha-
ry Taylor and other paintings, which now adorn
the hall of this Convention, and also saved Hiram
Powers statue of Washington, which is said now
to be in the Patent Office at the national capital

bic State property.

rE- In the Louisiana State Convention,
on the 9th ultimo, two reports were read
from Ihe Committee on Emancipation. The
first, signed by all the members except Mr..
Abel, declares slavery and involuntary servi-
tude, except as punishment for crime, forever
abolished in the State; wipes out the black
code provides the same system of penal law
for blacks and whites, and provides that ne
gro minors shall be subject to the same rules
as white ones in regard TO apprenticeship.
Mr.. Abe II on his own behalf, read minority
report, objecting to the deprivation of the
masters right to his slave by the Convention,
as fragrant injustice, robbing him of vest
ed right, and as injurious to the best interests
of the negro, who would become idle and
vicious if not compelled to labor The Era

Mai. Gen. John Sedgwiek.

The severest loss to our Potomac Army
since the movement commenced ON Tuesday
of last week, is the death of Major Gen. John
Sedgwck, commander of the 9th Army
Corps He fell on Monday, while gloriously
fighting at the head of his command. Gen.
Sedgwick was born in Connecticut, we think
in 1916. He graduated at West Point IN
1887, and was appointed I'd Lieutenant of the
I'd artillery. In 1889 he was promoted to
lst Lieutenaney: brevetted Captain for gal
lantry at Contreras and Cherubusco, where he
had command of company. He was highly
distinguished for his conduct in the battles of
Moline del Rey and Chapultepec, and and at
tack on the San Cosme gate, where he was
again in command of his company, and for
his gallantry in these engagements was bre-
vetted Major. He was commissioned Cap
tain in lS49, and in March, 1885, promoted to
be Major in the LIST cavalry. On the 25th of
April, 1861, he was appointed Colonel of the
4th cavalry, and in August 3lst, Brigadier
General of volunteers. He was assigned to
Gen. Stones command on the upper Potomac,
when that officer was arrested in February,
1862, and during the Chickahominy campaign
he had division in Gen. Summers (2d) army
corps He was commissioned Major Gen.
eral of volunteers July 4, 1862.
At the battle of Antietam Gen. Sedgwick
was seriously WOUNDED ana carried OH the
field. On his recovery in Dec, 1862. he was
assigned to the command of the 9th army
corps (Burnside's.) At the first battle of Fred
ericksburg, under Burnside, he commanded
the 9th and bore a most conspicuous and
gallant part in that unfortunate contest; and
at the battle at Charlottesville, under Hook
err, his gallantry and daring were even more
conspicuous than at Fredericksburg. When
Gen. Grants pek command of the Potomac
army, andsehmlges we're made in the various
corps, Gen. Sc dgTisk was assignedlto the 9Th,
and was in coIhR{and of it when he fell.
Gen. Sedgwick was never married. A
plain, unassuming gentleman, little above
the ordinary height, there was something
about the man that inspired confidence and
respect A thorough soldier, proved in a
hundred battles, he was beloved as every true
soldier is sure to be, by his men who have
seen his courage, and felt the impulse of his
calm and clear orders in dire emergencies.
In his habits in camp he was as simple and
transformations as Gen. Grant He never
claimed or received privileges there above
those of a common soldier. His tent was al
ways on the extreme point, and in the crisis
of an engagement, always in the hottest of the
fight. Gen. Sedgwick was brave soldier,
noble gentleman, true-hearted patriot, an
honest man.

Pen cannot convey an idea of the gallantry
which our troops exhibited inlyesterday's en-
gagement. officers and men concur in the
opinion that the musketry fire was even
heavier, except occasional intervals of Is or
20 minutes, than at the battle Of Antietam
The rebels in their Characteristic manner,
charging with demoniac yells, were each time
calamity met, and in every assault but one
hurled back beyond their original lines.
At AZ p. M, the enemy massing once more
charged upon the position along the Brock
road, which we had been forced to retire at
noon and with such overwhelming violence
that they penetrated our lines at the inter
section Of the road mentioned and the pike
leading to Orange Court House, and planted
color on the work. For moment, the safety
of the corps was in imminent danger; many
of our men, demoralized, were hurrying down
the pike toward the rear, and the Rebels,
yelling like so many demons, seemed conf
dent of success.
At this critical juncture Col. Carroll, whose
brigade had been sent for, came up on the
pike from its position on the right of the
pike, and facing his command into line
charged the enemy, driving him back in a
rout to the woods beyond the road. In his
dispatches to Gen. Meade, Gen. Hancock ac-
credited Col Carroll with saving his own
corps, and perhaps the whole army from dis
sster. 7. G. g.

Who SAVED KENTUCKY-It was reserved
for rebel and traitor to pay involuntarily
the highest tribute of praise which has ever
loved HENRY CLAY. POLLARD, Of Richmond,
in his smart reckless, lying Southern History
of the War, says:
"The persistent adhesion of a largeportion
of the Kentucky people to the northern
cause must be attributed to permanent causes;
and among these were, first, an essential un-
soundness on the slavery question, under the
influences of the peculiar philosophy of Hen
ny Clay, who, like every great man, left an
impress upon his State which it renamed for
future even more than contemporary genera

THE THIRTY-SIxTH AT CHICAGO.-Wedles-
day mornings Tribune, thus speaks of the
passage of the seth Regiment through that
city:
About nine o'clock last evening the Both
Wisconsin infantry, new regiment lately
raised in that State, arrived at the Rest on
their way to the front, under the command of
Colonel f. A. Haskell. The regiment num-
bered about $50 men, and presented splen-
did appearance. Wisconsin has ever re-
sponded nobly to the calls made upon her to
furnish men to quell this unrighteous rebel
lion. Her blood has been split like water
upon numberless battlefelds, and now that a
further demand is made, she freely supplies
fresh men, though now her sons meet the reb-
els at every point. The regiment has heavy
work before it, for it is assigned to Gen. Han
cocks command in the I'd Division of the
Army of the Potomac. The boys start full
of energy and are determined to conquer or
die. They fight in the haliest of all earthly
causes, on the side of freedom, and may the
God of Freedom grant them speedily decisive
victories. After supper at the Rest the regi-
ment left for the front via Washington.
