The country through which we passed had' not
before been penetrated by our troops, • and its atter
desolation and destitution were now fully ascsr •
tained." ' On the whole route there are only three or
four honses,and the occupants of these had no pro
visions but bacon and corn. Therefore both, mea
and horses suffered for the want of forage and ra
tions, being tumble to depend oa the country , for
supplies.Ma first payment in United States pos
tal currencywas made to some of the inhabitants
of the piney:wood region on this expedition, who
i/fiad never seen that currency before. Col. Robin
son's emninand was within forty five miles of
Texas, twenty-live miles from Fort Jessup, and
twenty-eight miles from Natchitoches. Three or
four rebel couriers were captared and 'disposed of
as prisoners of war.
Beaching Cane river again on Thursday morn
ing, after a halt of - three hours, we again ad
vanced, to evertalo the main body of Oen. Lee's
cavalry division, which had moved the day pre
vious, and occupied the city of Natchitoches about
two o'clock Thor iday afternoon.
The advance, led by Col. Dudley, consisted or
the 4th brigade of cavalry, and pustted the halting
enemy with vigor, killing and wounding many,
and capturing about thirty prisoners and five offi
cers. Capt. Todd, a cousin of Mrs Abraham Lin
coln, having become disgusted with the rebel ser
vice, disbanded his company and came within our
ines, - dagek to take the oath—thif iron-clad oath of
allegiance to "good old Uncle Sam."
At about dark the enemy made, a stand a mile
west of the town, having posted themselves inn
naturally strong position. They were finally dis
lodged by the Fourteenth New York cavalry,
Major Bastford commanding, with a slight - lois on
our side, but greater loss on the part of the enemy.
The wounded on, our side were Lieutenant 1r wru
and a private of the 2d Illinois cavalry, in the arm
and thigh, not severely. •
Eariy,this morning , +eneral Lee's cavalry. divi
sion advanced from. Natchitoches ant the 14th
Ne w York cavalry, Major dassford, being in the
advanceof Col. Lucas - s brigade, skirmished with
the rebele, seven miles. The enemy made a stand
eight times; but they could not withstand the ad
vance of the gallant 14th with drawn sabres.
At Crump' s Corner, or Crump' s' Hill, twenty-
two miles from. Natchitoches, where roads diverge
in two directions—to Manny and to Pleasant Hill
—the Main body of the 14th New York remained at
the junction of the roads; but Major Bassford sent
a squadron up the Manny road four miles, tee re.
bels skirmishing while they were retreating. One
company ofthe 16th Indiana mounted infantry ac
companiedthis squadron. .
rer,After this column had been drawn in, the enemy
opened from the Manny road with three, guns of
the Valverde Texas battery, and from the Pleaaant
Hill road with three guns of the same battery.
Rawles's battery came up, was plaiedin position
at the forks of the road and assailed the enemy
with showers of grape and canister, silencing
their batteries and compelling De Bray's' regiment
of Texas cavalry to retreat in great confusion.
They were immediately followed up by the re
mainder Of Colonel Lucas's brigade and driven
five miles on the Manny road, skirmishing briskly
till nearly night.
Colonel Dudley's brigade Caine.up and -ad
vaneed form miles on the. Pleasant Hill road, main:
tabling - a lively skirmish, and driving the enemy
before him.
Six horses of the 14th New York cavalry were
killed in the skirmishing ufi the road to this point.
Major Bassfora'S loss was one wounded. 001.
Dudley's loss was two slightly wounded of tae
2cl Illinois cavalry.
The forces engaged against us were the sth and
7th Texas. cavalry regiments,. De. Bray's Texas
cavab y regiment, the 2d and 4th Loiisiana cavalry
- regiments, and the Valverde Texas battery.
Mouton's rebel brigade of infantry, with one.
battery, was encamped about four miles from here
last night, and Walker's division of rebel infantry,
with twenty pieces of artillery, was encamped at
the same place the night before.
The rebels are 'concentrating at Pleasant - SW,
about twelve miles from here, where it is expected
they will make a vigorous stand, and that there
will be a heavy battle
There has been probably about seventy-five mil
lions or dollars' worth of cotton burned between
this point: and - Alexandria. It is alleged that the
order for .burning it, was elven after the seizure
and confiscation of cotton by the gunboat fleet, and
that none:would have been burned had it not been
for that seizure as it was understood that General
Banks - encouraged the purchase of and payment
for it. .• .
Many of the citizens had invested all their means
in cotton, and speculators from New Orleans who
had got into the rebel lines had purchased large
amounts of cotton, which they had paid for, and
have lost entirely. The largest lot burned was
four, hundred bales.
Fourteen hundred barrels of corn were burned
in one lot, one thousand in another, and other
large lots, to prevent its falling into our hands.
Natchitoches has about two thousand inhabi
tants. General Lee established a strong patrol,
and there were no depredations on property there.
The number of prisoners captured by our forces
o day was sixty, besides which three wounded
rebels have been brought in.
Our losses were one private of the 14th New York
Cavalry, one of the 2d Louisiana Cavalry, two of
he 2d Illinois Cavalry, one of the 16th Indiana
Cavalry, wounded; the last named , mortally, the
- others slightly.
The gunboats arrived at a point of the Red river
four miles from Natchitoches this morning, and it
IS probable that Gen. Banks has arrived there' by
this time on a transport. Gen. Franklin coin.
mends the land forces until the arrival of General
Banks.
ALEXANDRIA., LA., April 3, 1864.—This town
. and neighborhood have been very quiet since the
arrival of Gen. Banks. ' The enemy has retreated
Wherever we have advanced, and it is doubtful if
he will show fight at all.
We had an election yesterday for delegates to re
present Rapides parish. Over three hundred votes
were cast. Union meetings have already been held
in the town, and refugees are coming into our Fines
daily for the piirpose of renewing their connection
with the old government. Three prominent men
in this part of the country—E. R. Brissot, Lewis
Sexanda and John E. E. e—have taken the Pre
sident's oath. Their names were signed to the

request all our citizens, - and 'patriotic persons else
whete, having fine Works of art in their possession,
to forward, without delay, a memorandum of their
in-ended contribn ions, to John Sartain, Esq.,
the Secretary of the Committee, 72S Sansom street.
The works of art thus solicited comprise oil
paintings, water-color drawings, marbles, bronzes
and original models in clay or plaster, or other
material. In the collection of water-color draw
ergs alone it is the hope of the Committee to pre
sent a very full and brilliant exhibition. as we are
known to have in our city .a very large number-of
such drawings, which it is hoped wilt be gene
rously placed at the disposal of.the committee by
the owners.
A Gallery will be erected on Logan Square of
such 'material as will ensure the safety of the
pictures placed in it. Di order to make proper
arrangements for the reception and disposition of
the various works of art contributed, the Com
mittee must have early knowledge of their approx
imate number and character. -
It is the desire of the Committee to make the
Gallery of the Fine Arts 'one of the most marked
features of the great Central Fair, and the public
is, therefore, earnestly appealed to to till, by their
generous contributions of pictures and other works
of art, a Gallery of larger dimensions, it -is be
lieved, than any ever erected in this country. The
Committee hope to make our exhibitions in every
respect one of great attraction and interest.
Although circulars have been largely sent to
persons known to possess works of art, and many
responses have been received; this method of at
tracting public attention is used as a reminder to
all, and particularly to those who may not have
received circulars, of the needs, hopes and desires

COMMITTEE ON BOOTS, -SHOES AND
LEATHER.
We, the undersigned, in making an appeal to all
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers and Dealers, for
contributions in material or money to the Great
Central Fair, to be held early in June, feel that it
is only necessary to allude to the wants of the
Sanitary Commission in order to secure your
generous and hearty co-operation. The sufferings
of our gallant soldiers in the field will in all pro-
bability be greatly increased during the coming
summer campaign, and will demand the most
energetic and unceasing efforts on the part of those
whose privilege it is to live under a Government
so nobly sustained.
Let each one, then, do his or her part richt
generously, and by liberal donations not only
show a deep gratitude for so man's past blessings
in the security of life, home and property, but
help to make this Department of the Fair one of
the most profitable as well as useful.
Personal applications will be made as early as
possible by the Committee, and it is earnestly
hoped that they will meet with a cordial response.
It is requested that all contributions stall be
accompanied by an invoice of the goods, in order
that they may be promptly acknowledged. Goods
ofall kinds should be sent to Mr. A. R McHenry,

Many more Stations needed to meet the wantsof

The United States Christian Commission has
seized the present golden opportunity of rest for
the Army to extend its work for the good of the
Soldiers.
STATIONS have been multiplied, each with its
chapel and store tents, free- writing tables, and
clothing, comforts and reading matter for gra
tuitous distribution.
VOLUNTARY DELEGATES, in numbers
greater than ever before, have been sent to preach
the Gospel at the stations and in regiments, bat
teries and camps without Chaplains, distribute
reading matter and stores, sad labor for the good
of the Soldiers.
A PERMANENT FIELD AGENCY has been
sufiloiently extended to establish stations and
superintend the work.
THE BLESSING OF GOD rests signally on all
parts of the work. Many thousands have been
cheered, benefited and saved. Still a large part
of the Army remains unreaehed, and doable the
number, both of stations and delegates, are needed
to meet the urgent demand for them.
The Christian Commission offers to the people a
perfectlY reliable and wonderfully economical
channel to reach the entire army in all its various
fields. The money given goes in full measure, in
benefits for body and soul, directly to the Soldiers;
and stores also, immediately from the bands-of
delegates from home, who add words and deeds of
kb dness to the gifts when bestowed.
Let the people give the Money and Stores, and
the work will be dons.
The large corps of Delegates now in the field
will serve as a grand corps 'of relief when the
armies shall move and 'battles be fought, and the
greater their number the more prompt and effec
tive will be the relief they shall render.
Let not the present work languish. Wait not
for the cry of the wounded and dying before pro
viding relief. _
Send now. and Ben c-1 abundantly both money and
stores,. and the soldiers , blessing shall be upon
you. _ _
