FROM RED RIVER.

GRAND ECoRE, La, April 16.
As yoWhave already learned, the army of
General Banks, advancing on Shreveport,
was repulsed at Sabine Crossroads, three
miles southeast from Mansfield, OIL the Sth
inst. The enemy was not in superior force,
but the National army was beaten in detail
and forced to retreat. We lost in killed.
wounded and missing about 1,500. The enc
my's loss in killed and wounded was not
less than ours, but we only captured from
them about fifty prisoners.
Retiring that night to Pleasant Hill, we
fought on the 9th, at the latter place, one of
the fiercest battles of the war. Gen. Frank
lin declares that, in all his experience, he
never saw fiercer fighting. In our last
charge the rebel right was crushed and
driven back for mile with fearful slaugh-
ter. We held possession of the battlefield
at night, and the next morning our rear
guard, the 14th New York cavalry, under
Major Bassford, rode over the field, while
our infantry was retiring towards the point.
Major Bassford describes the field as strewn
with the enemy's dead. 1t is understood
that they admit loss of 5000. We cap
tured AT prisoners-making an aggregate
of 200 captured since the campaign opened
at Fort de Russey.
In the meantime, in anticipation of sue
cessful campaign to Shreveport, our trans
ports and light draught gunboats had
moved up the river about ninety miles
above Grand Ecore. Our army being re-
pulsed and the river falling rapidly, the
fleet was instantly endangered. The rebels
saw their advantage. Gen. Green, with
two brigades of his Texas cavalry, moved
over from Mansfield to the river, and at
tackled the fleet on the 10th. In the most
reckless manner, instead of attacking the
defenseless transports, he charged across an
open field upon the gunboats, and was in
stantly met by shower Of shells. He gave
the order to retire, and was himself Just
leaving the field, when portion of one of
our shells struck him in the head and killed
him instantly. The rebels feel his loss
deeply, as he was probably the best officer
they had. =, ls...l
But our fotilla had another gauntlet to
run--Riddell's brigade, on the north side Of
the river with two pieces of artillery.
stationed near Compile. For two days our
gunboats and such soldiers as Ne had on
the transports fought theirway down, over
shoals and around sharp bends. At last
