CAIRO, Illinois, June 8.
From a Federal officer who was up Red
River at the time of the evacuation Of Alex
andria by our forces,I gather some inter.
estiag facts. From the time Of the retreat
of the army from Pleasant Hill, the feeling
against Gen. Banks had been continually
increasing. Every day added new and more
aggravating causes for distrust and dissat
isfaction in reference to the management of
affairs. While waiting at Alexandria to
get the gunboats over the falls, there were
the most serious apprehensions in reference
to the sufficiency of supplies, both for the
men and the animals. To make the matter
worse General Banks issued an order giving
to General cClernard's command, which
was camped north of Bayou Rapides, as
the outer guard, all the oats and hay, or
nearly all there was on hand, leaving other
commands entirely destitute of forage
This caused no little dissatisfaction among
the men. And to aggravate the matter
still more just as McClernard got his forage
out to his camps the rebels made dash on
him, compelling him to make precipitate
retreat across the bayou, and to destroy or
leave in the hands of the enemy all the
forage, camp equipage, etc. A part was
destroyed, but it is said Dick Taylor got
the larger portion. The indignation and
dissatisfaction of the soldiers were now
beyond all bounds. Complete demoraliza-
tion seemed almost inevitable. Other
orders of General Banks were frequently
treated with contempt by subordinates, and
men openly declared their intention to paw
no attention to any orders emanating from
the commanding General.
When the gunboats were ell over the falls
and the order for evacuation was promulua.
ted, and the army nearly all on the march
some of our soldiers, both white and black,
as if by general understanding, set fire to
the city in nearly every part, almost sim
ultaneously. The flames spread rapidly
increased by heavy wind Most Of the
houses were Of wooden structure, and were
soon devoured BY the flames. Alexandra
was town of between four and Eve thou
sand inhabitants. ALI that part of the civ
north of the railroad was swept from the
face of the earth In . few hours, not a
building being left. About nine tenths of
the town was consumed, comprising all the
business part and all the fne residences, !

j. Madison Wells, the Lieut.. Governor OF
T Louisiana elected with Hahn, by, General
Bans orders was not spared. He had been
q Unishist from the beginning. He had a
splen1id residence in Alexandra, well and
{i6hlT fuf 6fshsd 1t which his own and his
1STS km1ly Iesided. His son was absent
r. INsk 0flesns, attending the Constitu<
ions Conssntioa, Of which he was MEM
ber. IN ! ID which he voted for abolition
and ell the ultra measures. But that did
net secure his family the protection OF 4he
government. All was burned. Thousands
of men, women and children, were in few
sh6rthours driven from comfortable homes
into the streets. Their shelter, their pro-
visions, their beds were all consumed. In
their extremity, which our own cuipabiiity
had brought about, the Commanding Gen
eraI timed his back upon them. He did
Dot ps1hsps lsugh at their calamity, nor
mock when their fear came but doubtless
regarded it, the dawn of political mel
Ienium. The march OF the army from Alex
andria to Fort De Russey was lighted up
With the flames Of burning buildings
Thus has Gen. Banks become the " liberia
tor of Louisiana"
When the army arrived at Simmisport
tho feeling against Banks was perfectly nm
| controliable. he was absolutely afraid to
appear in the presence of the men lest he
might be assasinated. Hetook refuge in
iron clad gunboat As the boat lay in the
Atchafalaya river, the soldiers would cry
out aloud for Banks to put his head above
the decks, declaring, with curses, that they
would put ball through it. When Gen.
Candy arrived, he made speech to the
| men, and told them that hereafter he would
command, snd that no more such fatal ex.
psditions should be gotten up. A long cry
arose from the men: "We want to see
Gen. Banks punished, We want to see him
hung" and many such expressions Gen.
Candy said that he had reported Banks to
the authorities at Washington, and had no
doubt that he would be dealt with as his
conduct deserved. The soldiers were furi-
Gus, and would have mobbed Banks if he
had made his appearance, Many declared
they would do no more service until Banks
was punished. Gen. Candy told them that
hereafter they were under his command,
and appealed to the men to return to duty
ard obey his orders. Thus ended the Red
River expeditions fit sequel to scheme

For the DAILY heglster)
I have lust read the Administration Plat
form, and it is the funniest thing of the
kind ever did read. Only to think of the
Shoddy Convention talking about maintain
ing the paramount authority Of the Con
stitution". and their speaking of Lincoln's
devotion to the Constitution, and in the
same sentence approving of the emancips-
tion proclamation Are they fools, or do
they think the people are fools and blind
But the funniest thing of ell is their say
ing that slavery was the cause Of the war.
This is virtually admitting that the rebel
lion commenced in the North. 1t cannot be
denied that if slavery had been let alone
there would have been no war. once
heard of a monomaniac, or fanatic, who set
fire to his barn to destroy the rats, and said
it was the fault of the rats that the barn
was destroyed.
With the fanatics all love of country, and
every sentiment Of patriotism is lost in the
one idea Of abolishing slavery; and for
this purpose they brought on the war;

and are literally resisting it "tooth and

quite number Of discussions and violent
contentious took plsce between the pas
sengers on the one part and drivers and
conductors on the other part. More than
dozen times the services of the police
were invoked for the purpose Of prevent
ing the most serious consequences. Cars
were frequently stopped ten, twenty, and
even forty-6ve minutes, on their way up
and down in consequence Of the refusal Of
passengers to pay moro than the old fare,
and the resulting scufles with conductors,
who IN many cases attempted TO expel pas.
sengers. In some instances they called
the police to their aid, Superintendent,
Kennedy having decided that the police
could not refuse to assist when called
upon, on the ground that the companies
have the government Of their cars till the
Courts take it from them. In view ol
these troubles, the railroad companiel
have decided to sell tickets at the old
rates of fare, with the addition OF the
government tax of two and = half pei
cent. Where passengers neglect to pro.
vide themselves with tickets they will BE-
required to pay the addition of one cenl
to the old rates Of fare.
