A SOUTHERN ARCADIA.-From an interest
ing sketch of the Red River expedition pub
lshed in the Red River RoUer, we clip the
following extract in regard to the country be-
tween Fort Scurry and Fort de Russy:
Starting next morning Q1th) at daylight
we marched over a country surprisingly rich
and beautiful, it being for the most part un-
dulating prairie, thickly settled, and appa-
rently highly productive. Evidences of the
the general neglect and unthriftiness so COM
mon with slavery in other portions of the
south where we have marched are here not
frequently seen. The fences are substantial,
the fields clean, the roads in good repair
though the army soon destroy the best Of
country roads. Herds of fat cattle and sheep
were plenty, and the barn-yard family OF
chickens, geese and turkeys were evidently
unacquainted with certain propensities of
Yankee soldiers, from the fact that they had
not learned the art of lodging under the
houses at sight of the blue-coats! The pop
ulation for the most part IS French or Creole,
claiming non-citizenshir, and have taken no
part IN the war. Many of the houses are built
in the fashion of the old French settlements
on the Mississippi, of peaked-roofs and many
gables, and have an air Of antiquity about
them, seen IN the time-Worn timbers and
messy roofs. The slaves universally speak
Creole. In the villages, the tri-eolored flag
of France hung out of windows and nailed to
gate posts as evidences of neutrality. 1t was
a strange sight, and a pleasant one, that of
the people,-men, women and children COM
ing to their garden gates as we marched
through their villages and looking at US as if
they were not frightened out of their wits or
soured with Il-concealed hatred. Negroes
brought out pals of water, and the white
children gleefully ran into our dusty ranks to
play with the soldiers. 1t was Arcadian-
only the ''forest primevar' was lacking.
A SUGAR ITEM.-A Cape Ann paper is re-

The Herald's correspondent gives the
following account Of the struggle for
Taylor's bridge over the North Anna
river:
When my last despatch was written
= considerable force of the enemy were
our passage over the North
Anna.
Gen. Laws division, Longstreet's
corps, were posted in strong earth works
between Long creek and the river, Al d
seemed disposed to held Tsylor's bridge
at all hazard.
They poured storm Of shot and
shell from their batteries wien Gen.
Birney with his division advanced.
Col. Pierce and Egan with their bril-
gades made an assault on the enemy's
works, at 6 p. m. on the 22d. The rife.
men Of the enemy poured deadly fire
into their ranks everywhere, and
they charged on the batteries On the
high ground little to the right Of the
bridge, and secured open space 10 every
direction, tearing up earthworks with
their buzzing misails. Redoubt carried
at ONT Of bayonet, and considerable
number Of rebels killed in the entrebch-
ments, and ITO captured. This assault,
which was made under the immediate
direction Ct Gen. Bcrney, is considered
a very brilliant affair, aud Gen. Hancock
wrote him very congratulatory letter.
The Sd and 5th Michigan, seth and
l24th New York, Goth Pennsylvania,
and 18th Maine suffered more severely
than any other regiments in the divis-
ion. The retcle, when driven from their
redoubt and ri pits, retreated across
the river, many of them swimming the
river, the bridge being TO much crowded
10 admit Of Their crossing with as much
elacrity as desired. An assault on Tay-
lor's brigade, spanning the North Anna
river, was made without loss by the 4th
Maine. The bridge was carried after a
sharp skirmish, aud tho rebels driven
from their positions on the opposite
bank.
AT l p. m. the enemy made scrtie
rom his works and endesvored to re-.
take the bridge, but after spirited tkir-
mish Of 20 minutes were driven back.
AT midnight they made another a..
tack and drove our men from the bridge
and held it some time and made several
attempts to burn it.
The 18th N. Y. heavy artillery come
mp, the enemy were forced to retire, and
the fire extinguished, when We reoccu-
pied the bridge without further trouble
till morning.
At I a. IN. Birney crossed the North
Anna river at the bridge with his divis-
ion, followed by Gibbons division, and
soon after by tho balance of the corps.
Our losses on the 23d and oath do
not exceed 5000 in killed wounded and
missing, while that of,hc enemy amounts
to that killed and wouuded, while We
have 1000 prisoners.
