= w. We had every reason to hope that we
would be enabled to get details of the battles of
Mansfield and Pleasant Hill, but we have been
deceived once more. It is therefore impossible
for us to give cur readers what we have not.
The two battles are two confsderate victories;
~shsss assssrea sa aad VI. III hast.
Our troops fought like veterans and whipped the
Yankees most deservedly, The federal loss is
estimated at 1000 in killed and 5000 wounded |;
$500 prisoners, 2l pieces of artillery, 500 wag-
cns and large quantity of small arms. Besides
the above guns, wagons and small arms which
ne hayein our possession, the Yankees have des-
troyed large humber Of wagons, stores, &c.
Our loss is also very severe. considering the
msny able officers who have been killed 1000
killed .iana wounded, and a few hundred prisoners.
The Yankees are now at Alexandria, where
they are invested and dare not venture out. For
the last 1a or 90 days there have been several
heavy skitmishes around Alexandria. in which
we haveinvariably repulsed them into their quar-
tiers and taken some prisoners. 1t is currently
reported that the Federal army is, and has been
ever since the battles, on half rations. Their
communication with New Orleans is intercepted
by our batteries. which have already destroyed
TWO gunboats and five transports, several of the
latter loaded with troops and provisions from
New Orleans.
Iaas very probable that ere this army reaches
the city 1t will have lost over Is 900 men.

D-After forced suspension of two months,
we to-day resume our regular issue. Since our
last numbers great and glorious events have trans
pred in our poor Louisiana, and the invaders
Of our soil have paid dearly their pretentions Of
subjugating our State.
We give elsewhere the details of the success
Of our arms in the Northern portion of Louisiana.
Believing that we are now delivered forever OF
the presence Of Yankees, we will endeavor to
give our readers the most reliable news we can
get, EN- attendant better times

in large stocks of the article last winter, and
so much is now stored away that it is not be.
lieved that ice can reach a very high price
during the coming season The isproductien''
for this market has reached nearly half q mil
lion tons, while the average sales in good
seasons only amount to about two hundred
have their usual supply, and persons who sell
to the trade, but who bought OF these COM
ipanies last year, now have full ice houses of
their own so that by the competition the "in-
dependent" dealers have controlled the price
to Its present low point of two dollars a ton.
This, 1t is stated, does not more than pay ex-
penses; but the ice dealers have the choice OF
selling or letting it melt on their hands. The
retail price is now from one. fourth to one. half
q cent per pound, and probably the rates will
not advance much during the summer, beyond
the latter figure.-N. Y. Times
