for an Election Of Delegates.


for Election Of Delegates.
New ORLEANS, March II.
There is considerable stir and activity in
military matters in this department at present.
Gen. Banks is on the eve of departure for
Western Louisiana. His objective point is
probably Alexandria. A fleet of Admiral
Porter's gunboats has already started for that
place. 1t is expected that rather formidable
works of defense will be encountered by the
iron-clads one of which is the newly launched
Ozark, between the mouth of the Red river
and Alexandria.
jacksonville, small town on Lake Pom
chartain, has been evacuated. Extensive forts
were thrown up on the land side. The object
sought by occupying the place was to open
communication with Baton Rouge. Gen.
Growers whole force has been ordered to con-
centrate at the latter place.
1t is believed that some sort of an under
standing has been entered into between Gen.
Banks and Gen. Steele, by which Western
Louisiana and Southern Arkansas are to be
cleared Of rebels,
An order has just been issued for Gen.
Banks to hold an election for delegates to a
constitutional convention on the 2Sth. The
convention meets In New Orleans on the 9th
of April. There are to be $50 delegates
chosen on a white basis. New Orleans will
have 63 members.

which they had been hunting conscripts.
Thirty negroes captured by the rebels from a
plantations near Fat Pike, were retaken. On
the 9th there was not an armed rebel within
80 miles of jacksonville. except probably a
few stragglers. A number of rebel soldiers,
paroled at Vicksburg and Port. Hudson, who
were endeavoring to avoid the rebel conscrip-
ton, were brought in. Large quantities of
cotton was discovered in the country through
which our forces passed. The sentiment of
the people was Enthusiastically Union.
A portions OF the Sd Maryland consists of
400 formerly rebel soldiers from Fort Della
ware, who took the oath of allegiance and en-
listed. There have been no assertions from

my crossed Morton's Ford and drove in the

pulsed and forced to recross the river. The

reports OF the firing heard at Dumfreys.
There are other indications of rebel demon

Stuart is massing cavalry at Charlottesville,
