[Correspondence of the St. Louis Republican
.]
GRAND ECORB, April 13.—The grand expedi
tion up Red River, which' promised such benefi
cial reeults, has met with an nnexpected and dis
atirons check.
On the Gib. of April the Union army, under com
mand of Major• General Franklin, moved from
Nachnoches (pronounced Nackitosh) lower-is
Shreveport Nachitoches is• !cur miles from Red
river, the nearest point on the river being Grand
Ecore, the place trout which this letter is dated
The road from Nachitocins is through a dense
forest- of pine woods, the surface of the
country being broken and hilly. There are but
few plantations opened, and nothing - upon which
to subsist an army. On Thursday night,
the Sth, the army camped at Pleasant:M.ll,a smal
town in the pine woods, about thirty miles north.
east of Nachit. &hes, on the road to Shreveport.
The wagon road leaves the river to the right some
rift( en or twenty miles, rendering the co-opera
tion of the gunboats impos.iole. Before encamp.
fug at Pleasant Hill, there 'lves a sharp cavalry
skirmish, about two miles beyond that place, r".
suiting in no important advantage to either side.
The cavalry encamped about seven miles it ad
vance of the main army. Next morning (Friday
the sth) the army started towards Mansfield, a
distance of ses enteen miles from Pleasant
Hill. About noon, while the enemy was la line
of march, arrived at the front, at a small bayou,
whi re a:bridge was being built. Gen. Banks at
once assumed command of the army in the field.
There was almost constant skirmishing all the
way from Pleasant Hill to the place where the
battle afterwards occurred. When Gen. Banks
arrived at the Bayou, the 19th Army Corps were
several miles in the rear, the .13th Army Corps
were crossing the newly constructed bridge, and
General Lee's cavalry, about five thousand men,
some three miles in advance, together with
Nims's celebrated battery, the Chicago - Mercan
tile battery, let Indiana, and battery G, of the
regular army. The 4th division,l3th Army Corps,
under command of Gen. Ransom' were hurried
forward as a support to the cavalry. About three
o'clock P. M., when within two miles of Diana
field, the advance army consisting of the cavalry,
artillery and 4th di visiou, 13th Army (Jostle, above
mentioned, while marching through a dense pine
forrest, there being thick undergrowth of pines on
either side of the road, were attacked by the rebels
in great force, on both flanks and in the front. The
engagement soon became general, the rebels and s
denly opening with artillery and musketry, charg
ing cur surpiied and panic striken columns with
terrific yells, evinciug a daring and'determination
worthy cf a better cause. Gen. Banks and Gen."
Franklin hurried to the front, and
.were in the
thickest of the fight. The artillery was • speedily
put in position at the extreme front, and for a
while did excellent service. Finding the front,
rather too dangerous for Major-Generals Banks
and Franklin returned to the rear of the wagon
train, just in time> to save themselves from cap
ture, as the rebels pressed upon both sides of oar
army "with crushing effect. A ball passed through.
Gen. Banks's hat Everything was soon in the
wildest contusion,. the wagon train, being In the
rear and in a narrow road, atsempted to turn round
to fall back, and completely blocked up,the, way,
cutting offahe advance both from a way of retreat,
and from reinforcements. The rebels nad formed
in the shape of an isosceles triangle, leaving the
base open, and at, the apex planting their
artillery. Our advance marched direly into the
triangle; laving the two wings of the rebel forces,
on either side of them. These wings were speed. ;
ily connected, compelling our forces to retreat or
surrender. The batteries above mentioned, Con-
EIS ing of twenty pieces in all, were now captured,
together with nearly all the officers and men. The
Chicago Mercantile Battery was captured entire,
and I am informed that all her officers and men fell
Into the hands of the enemy. The 4th divisiqn.,
13th army corps, b 2,5.00 men, undo: Gen. Ranso
and Gen. Lee's cavalry, about 3.000 - strong, and
the batteries above mentioned, were the forces in
advance of the wagon train. These forces fought
desperately for a while, but gave way, under su
perior numbers of the rebels; and retreated in great
precipitation. The scene of this retreat beggars all
description. General Franklin said of it "Bull
Run was not a circumstance in comparison."
General Ransom was wounded in the knee, but
rode off the field before he was compelled, ins
loss of blood, to dismount. Captain Dickey, of
Gen. Ransom's staff, Was shot through the
head and killed instantly. His body was left on
the field. The position of the wagon train in the
narrow road, was the great • blunder oupf `the affair.
The rear was comletel blked ,

reambering in all 4,00 men, whenthe fight begin,
sustained a less irti proportion' to the number
engaged, which is perhaps witbout a parallel in
the history of this terrible war. The 130th Illinois,

,The retreating column fell back some four or five

battle of Mansfield.
The star d was made by the 19th Army Corps,.
which remained on the field until midnight, when
P fell back to Pleasant Hill, a distance of about
twelve miles, arriving there - about daylight
Saturday morning. gen. Lee'secavalry and the
13th Army Corps. continued their precipitate re
treat from the battle-field to Pleasant Hill.
Saturday morning, -Gen. Banks ordered a retreat
of the whole army to Grand Ecore. The wagon
trains and the heavy artillery, guarded by the ne
gro regiments, took the ad vance,_ les ving Pleasant
Hill early in tbemorning. Itrequired nearly all day
to get the immense train in motion, the advance be
ing at least fifteen miles distant before the rear get
fairly started.
About five o'clock P. 111. , just as the wagon
train of Gen. Batiks , s army had ail got in motion,
the rebels attacked our army in great force. Our-
forces were posted so as:to effectually rover ourre
treat. tbe rightresting abont a hstirmile need:tweet
of the town of Pleasant Hill, the centre about a
half mile to the west, and the left stilt farther west,
about a half mile in the woods. The 16th Army
Corps, commanded by General A. J. Smith, oc
cupied the right up to the centre, and the
19th Army Corps, under General Franklin, the
left up to the centre. The reserves were posted
about a half mile in the rear. The forces support
ing the 16th Army Corps were the 49th Illinois,
commanded by Major Thomas W. Morgan; teeth
New York, commanded by Colonel Waller; Seth
Indiara; commended by Colonel Murray, and the
Zell Illinois. I have no list of, the regiments sup
poring the 19th Army Corps.- The rebels muter
Kirby Smith attacked our whole front in great
force, and after a half hour of terrible Lighting;
with musketry and field artillery, onr, forces
fell bark -on the reserve line, a- distance of
about a half mile. The-. enemy pursued with
great rapy, fighting all the way, and doing
tonsideratdo damage._ For a time all seemed
lost, l - but the present aor "the Westefu troops in
spired confidence in the whole army. When the
rebels-approached _the Imes of the 'reserve force
our army was brought into excellent position, and
he fighting again be came terrific. The Western boys
ttrew their hats in the air, and raised-a yell, which
was beard above the roar of arttilereeatiel the rattle
of musketry. That tremendous yell wasinore terri.
ble tem the rebels tenth the thundering'. peahr of can
non. Otago( the prisoners alterwards remarked that
when they hemp that alio ut,the word passed ronne;
...There are the Western boys.we - w.ll - cateh h--I
now." In a store time their column began to
waver.
Gen. A J. Smith ordered a charge along the
whole line. The order was qu!ckly obeyed. An
t they shout was ratted from our boys. Gener4
Mem er advaLcedi to the front, and hat the charge
in petite, riding through the thickest of the light,
cttering his men on. The rebels could stand no
longer. They broke and ran in great confusion,
throwing away their guns, end givinz up the day.
They were hotly pursued by our forces, who
reseed them closely, and inilicted terrible blows
upon them. The repulse' of the rebels was
crushing, and attended with immense loss Whole
columns were mowed down, tinder the galling fire
..flom the Western army. They were driven about
two miles, into the we e ds. losing about one thou
eat d men, who were captured, besides a large
number of killed amid wounded.
Dering the battle the 49th Illinois (Col. W. H.
Ilforrit on' s old regiment) under command of Major
Morgan, charged upon a rebel battery with deter
mined bravery, and captured two pieces of artil
lery and a large nnmber of prisoners. Adjutant.
Denten, of the 117th Illinois, reported this 'act to
General Banks. The General replied: ~P res.nt
my compliments to hlajer Morgan and -his regi.
men t, and tell bin that I will ever remember them
for their gallantry." -
The rebel prisoners claim to have had twenty
five thousand men engaged on Saturday, bat I
doubt whether half that number were present.
The rebel General Parsons and - Mouton are re.
porn d killed.
Our army remained on the field until daylight
Sunday morning, when the retreat to Grand Eeere
NT tt, commenced.
The rebel killed and wounded were left on the
field. Our wounded were taken to houses en
_Pleasant Hill, and there were placed - in ambu
lances and wagons and broneht on to Grand
Ecore, except about twenty-ilve, who were badly
wounded and left at Pleasant Hill, in care of two
burgeons. - Our dead were left on the field, but it
is reported that they were afterwards buried by the
cavalry.
Our killed and wounded daring the second day s
battle, will, perhapS, amount to fifteen hundred.
That of the rebels is at least double that amount.
The lath and 19th army corps were the on' y forces
engaged in this fight on our side.
In our retreat to Grand Ecore a distance of
thirty-file miles from Pleasant Hill , , we were not
molested in the least. By hi onday evening (the
I lth) the whole army was at Grand Ecore,. on Red
river.-
There is great diseet'sfaction expressed on all
aides, at the Generalship diepiztyed by General
Banks. He has lost the confidence of the entire
army. The prig ates are ridiculing him. Officers
are not loudly but deeply cursing hue, and-civil
ians are unanimous in condemnation of the corn
mending, General. The Friday's battle was
brought on contrary to General Franklin's;dans.
And - both General Franklin and Ggiteral
Ransom prot• sted against having the cavalry
so far in advance of the main
err y. General Banks hurried on, supposing that I
-there was no danger, bet the sad defeat at Mansfield
is the result. After General Banks left Grand I
Ecore, be- wrote back to General Grover. at Alex
andria, saying;.'We hope to meet the enemy
e this side of Shreveport." His hope has been
more than realized. The troops are calling for Gen.
Sherman. They say if Sherman had been in com
mand they would now be in Shreveport, instead of at
Grand Ecore. Gen. Banks has been engineering
his department more to further his President:ale,
aspirations than anything else. But if the Balti
more Convention were composed of the Army of
- the Gulf, his 'chances would be hopeless -He
would riot get enough votss to save him from that
unimportant list put' down as' "scattering."
P e reonally, General Banks is a perfect gentlemen.
I have no prejudice against him, for he has inva
riably treated me 'with kindness and.consideration
But the truth must be told. As a military man he
is, as the vernacu'ar has it, "played out."
General A. J. Smith protested against the re
treat from Pleasant Hill. He wanted to pursue
the rebels on Sunday on his own hook instead of
falling back, but General Banks Was firm and
ordered all the forces to return General Smith is
very popular with the army, and every time he
_makes his appearance he is cheered with great en
thusiasm. ant considered one of the ablest Gen
erals of the army. .
It is difficult to dete:rniine at this time what will
be the result of this expedition. It wui take some
time to - reorganize before an advance can be re
tamed: lithe river continues to fall, navigation
above Alexandria will beeitfficult, if not impossi
ble. In that event Alexandria will necessarily

from the various branches of female industry, in
order to form one grand Union: Letters were
read from a number o.f.—sewing women, whim
showed the small pittance they received for their
labors from the contractors. One letter read showed
that a poor woman, by her hard labor, could only
make SI 80 per week. A. resolution was then
