Judge Perkins Of Loui.iana mAds in the House Of Rep

sentalon Of the resolutions adopted recently by the
Legislature Of Louisiana. We recommend them TO the
attention of readers They are timely earnest ard
temperate. They certainly make out for Louisiana a
strong case only her claim TO the sympathy,
but likewise her title the admiration Of her sister
StAles The sacrifices sbe has made, the sueTings she
has endured and above all the undiminished faith she
exhibits in spite of Der suerngs aud her sacrifices
told by Judge Perkins in simple but impressive language
Yel, perhaps, these things sufficiently well IN
dsrsood before. Perhaps it not necessary brog
forward the case Of LOUISIANA prominently. All the
States of the Confederaey have suffered in way
ether during this Almost all Of them have expe-
rsnced the bitterness Of invasion and tested the savage
bsrbarity of the war which Is being Waged Viz
gniA and Tennessee Mississippi Arkansas and Missouri,
have been raveIsed and devastated by ruthless hordes
Of invaders yet nowhere has there been any evidence.
except the part Of few renegades and traitors, f

don the Struggle for independence. Nevertheless,

battle ground on which eOntendng armies struggle for

pleasure and delight she knows that she 100 has made
sacrifices and that her people too have sunsred ami she

Misunderstood, and requires no Interpretation.
But, after all there some things rendered clear BY
Jadgo Perkins which bad net been very clear before
add which must tend elevate still farther our aec-
tOn and respect for the people Of State whose sons
have Vaisrsd with their blood the soil Of every other

LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES.

We are indebted TO the courtesy of the Exchange
Bureau for United States papers to the Sd inclusive
We make the following SUMMARY:
5HE RED RIVER EXPEDITION.
The Wa hipgtOn correspondent, of the New York
Times, says:
"a letter received here To-day from Admiral Porter
pronounOes Banks recent expedition disastrous
failure. Besides thirty pieces of artillery, large
quantity Of small arms, several hundred wagons, and
hrst-class gunboat-he Eastpor-nearly four thousand
prisoners have been Lost and ia addition the Paymas-
masters safe coutaioipg million of dol ars in green
backs was captured by The enemy.
The reports in circulation that Gen. Banks Is to be
superseded by Gen. ckles untrue. Gems. Frank
lin and Store; who lie under the imputaon of having
through neglect and caroessness contributed greatly
to the disasters in Louisiana, will be relieved aud prob
ably court msrtisled"
The ste mers Yazoo, Columbia and Nerrimac bring
ing advces from New Orleans to April a. arrived at
New York, on Saturday. The Rebels exhibited dis
position to at ack Gen Banks in his strongly fortified
position the Red River, and the skirmishing which
in progress might at any time grow into baltic
The rumor regarding the occupation of Shreveport by
Gen. Steele has one sddition-that he throwing up
Notifications. The Red River falling but the Mis-
sssippi rising fast General Stone and others of
the staff of Gen. Banks had arrived at Aexa ldra
route to New Orleans Gen. Stone bad been superseded
by Gen. D right A snail Union feet has gone up the
Washita river cavalry expedition had bsen sent out
on the nerth bank Of the Red River near Alexandria
by Gen. Grover. The Rebels continue to annoy vessels
on the Mississippi River at various points from Vicks
burg down. They in some force near Baton Rouge
nearly ell composed OF cavalry.
Adgic.s from Camden Ark, say that Gen. S.eele's
army s there.
Cen Thsyer joined General Steele at Elkn's Ferry,
on the little Missouri River where the rebels were
driven from a line of breastworks Commanding the
river bottom.
The enemy next stood at Prairie dc Anna, which was
fortified With hnc of rihs.pits and epaulments for
guns in barbette mile and a hslf long Gen. Steel,
hanked their position nd Gen. Price skedadled, after
a brisk fight, toward Washington. /.
Other Skrmishes Occurred during the march, but our
total loss was lees than 200.
Price supposed General Seele was going to shreye-
port via Washington, and moved bis command FROM
Cimien to Washington, after the fight at Prairie de
Aona.

Mr.. Salisbury offered the following resolution

respectfully requested, hereafter, to pray and
supplicate Almighty God in our behalf, and not
to lecture Him, informing Him what 10 do, or to
state to Him, under pretence Of prayer, his. the
said Chaplalns opinion in reference 10 His duty
as the Almighty ; and that the said Chaplain be
further requested, as aforesaid, not, under the
form Of prayer, to Lecture the Senate in relation
to the questions before the Senate
The Senate Chaplain, few days ago, prayed
that our legislators might be endowed with more

To a prayer for more brains the Senator would,

Chaplain prays against Slavery, "Amtn" sticks
