THE 'UNION STATE COIMENTION.
-LATER FROM NEW ORLEANS.
NEW YORK, April 28.—The steamer„Ame
rica from New Orleans has arrived with dates
to the 19th.
The Era of the 19th contains late news from
Gen. Banks' army, `"An expedition under Gen.
Kirby Smith which with a portion of Admiral
Porter's fleet went up the river previous to the
three days battles, safely returned on thb , lBth.
The greater portion of the rebel army is at
Mansfield, and on the river opposite that place
At Conshatta Shute the rebel force was sta
tioned, which had about' 14 guns in a battery
along the river bank. The gunboats in return
ing were obliged to run the gauntlet of these
guns.
In the fighting which followed their attempt
to pass the rebels they were compelled to fall
back from . the river, giving the transports a
clear passage. The boats suffered very
little, some splintered wood work being
all the damage they sustained.
As soon as this expedition arrived at Grand
Ecore, preparations were at once made for an
advance of the army.
We have good reasons for believing that
Gen. Banks is- again on the way to Shreve
port..
A portion of our army is hi:town to have ler
Grand Ecore, moving out towards the rebel po
sition.
The return of the fleet from above furnished
the army with a full supply of ammunition, the
lack of which was the principal cause of its re
turn to Grand Ecore and the delay at that
point.
The men had entirely recovered from, the
fatigues incident to their late marches and
severe fighting, and were in good condition to
strike a telling blow upon the enemies of the
Union.
A battery had been planted at Compti, a few
miles from Grand Ecore, 'in consequence of
which Gen. Kirby Smith burned the town.
The . eaptain of the Idispatch boat Diligent
was killed in running the batteries of Conshatta
Shute.
The steamer Polar Star, with nearly 400
Confederate prisoners on board, passed this
place under a flag of truce.
The boat was stopped by Capts. Fanntleroy
and Ayres, belonging to the rebel Gen. Tur
ci
chin's staff; but was afterwards allowed to pro
ceed, the instructions under which the com
manding officer were acting having been ap
proved by Gen. Taylor previously.
It being not possible to carry out the pro
visions of the, cartel at present, the prisoners
were brought to this city.
General Mower's division is still at Alexan
dria and will probably be able to protect the
people from-the incursions of the guerilla and
raiding parties.
We shall remain in daily expectation of
hearing that Gen. Banks and his gallant army
have again met the enemy, and that the over
throw of the rebel domination in Louisiana is
entirely accomplished.
The New Orleans Erd says the transport
steamer Black Hawk arrived there from Grand
Ecore last night.
On returning to that place, after bringing a
number of wounded to this city, the boat was
ordered to proceed several miles further up the
Red River, and endeavor to pull out of rather
an unpleasant situation the gunboat Eastport,
which bad been hard aground - for several days
on a sand-bar.
She failed to get the Eastport off the bar and
started to return, liut had scarcely got away
from- the protection of her guns, when the
rebel riflemen opened on her from the bank.
The rebels-numbered several hundred and
their firing was very rapid; but by putting on
all the steam that could ))e raised, the Black
Hawk succeeded in escaping , from the enemy's
clutches.
There were a number of civilians and thet
crew on board, about a dozen of whom' were
slightly wounded, but none seriously. We
believe - that there were no soldiers on board.
But for the fact that the rebels fired very
high, many more casualties would in all proba
wety have occurred, as the passengers and crew
re huddled together pretty closely on the
lower deck.
NEW ORLEANS, April 27.—The cotton mar
ket yesterday was brighter,"the advance since
Thursday being Ito 2 cent. Sale of 1000 bales
at 78 cents for middling. Sugar higher with

DFATRITCTION OF NORM CAROLINA SALT
WORKS.
W/.sursoxox, April 28.—The Navy Depart
ment has received a•communication from Rear
Admiral Lee, in which he says : “The state'-'
ments of refugees received onboard the Niphon
.on the 7th inst. indicating that the extensive
and valuable State salt works in that vicinity,
were weakly defended and might be destroyed,
I directed Capt. Sands to organize a boat ex
pedition, tinder the command of Acting 'Vol
unteer Lieut. Breck, to effect this importan
object.
ccl am happy to inform the Department of the
complete success of the expedition, which re
sulted in the destruction of one large steam
pump with boilers and engine attached, seven.
Ecore
large boilers, about 2CO salt pans, the large
vats, reservoirs and out buildings of the estab
lishment. A largo windmill, fifty or sixty Go
vernment furnaces and boilers were blown. to
fragments with 80-pounder shell.
cgOne hundred and sixty conscripts were cap
tured, of whom but fifty could be brought off
in boats. Complete order and discipline was
observed, - much to the credit of the officers and
men engaged. The work was well and quickly
done and the vigilance of the military force
close by completely eluded.

SHARP FIGHT NEAR CHATTANOOGA.
CHATTAkOOSA., April 2G.—On the morning
of the 28d of April the rebels made an attack
upon our pickets on Nickajack . Trace, near
Leet's farm, with both infantry and cavalry.
The infantry came over Taylor's Ridge. The
cavalry came from South Valley, and attacked
simultaneously seven points picketted by the
52d Illinois. Our men attempted to fall back
and failed. The infantry barred the way. .r
They then tried to cut their way out, but of
.sixty-four men, thirty-four, fighting bravely,
escaped. Not a man came back to camp but
on orders, however.
Five of our men were killed, four mortally
wounded, three severely, and nineteen missing.
Lieutenant Scoulles was wounded and taken
prisoner. The rebel loss is as severe as ours,
if not greater.
Several of our men were killed by the enemy
after surrendering. Some of the wounded
were butchered is they lay on the field. The
r ebels in the whole affair were guilty of shock
ing barbarity. • .

TO-DAY'S CONGRESSIONAL PRO
CEEDINGS.
Progress of the Tai Bill.
All the Amendments Acted on in
Committee.
uxviarra CONOREIM--FDIST UNION
WASHINGTON, bill
28.
SENATE.—Mr. Male called up toe bill granting
en honorable discharge of coal-heavers and fire
men-from the navy, which was passed.
Alto, the bill for the relief of tne clerics at the
Kittery and Philadelphia Navy Yard's, which was
passed.
Also, for the classification•of the clerks of pay
masters in the navy, and for the graduation of
their pay, 'which was passed.
Mr. Ten Eyck (N. J.) called up the Senate bill
to change -and define the eastern and western
boundaries of the Judicial districts of Virginia and
for other purposes. It was passed: -
Mr. Fessenden (Me. }reported from the Finance
Committee, the House joint resolution increasing
temporarily the duties on foreign imports fifty per
. cent. , with an amendment substituting 33,4' instead
of 50 per cent., and also exempting goods in bond
and transit.
Rorks. —The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the :State of the Union, to consider the
Internal Revenue bill.
Mr. Hasson (Iowa) offered a substitute for the
151st section, which was adopted, providing that
it shall not be lawful to record any instrument,
document or paper, unless the proper stamp shall
be affixed, and the record on which the proper
stamp is not fixed, shall be utterly void, and shall
not be used as evidence.
[The section stricken out proposed a penalty of
ssu for the failure to affix the stamp
Mr. Farnsworth (IL.) offered a proposition that
every person, banking institution and association,
issuing notes, bills, or other obligations as money,
unless authorized by act of Congress, shall pay
'one-fourth of one per cent, each month on the
notes and obligations so issued.
He said hisobject was to compel the State Banks
to withdraw their circulation, and to impose the
tax not only on the money issued during each
month, bat the notes still out.
The West do not want the shinplasters and rotten
issues of New England and New York banks. Six
months was too long a time to allow the with.
drawal of such notes, and he should like to see
this done in one month.
Mr. Kerman (N. Y.) remarked that the gentle
man had at the outset declared his intention to
st ppress the State banks, The people of;he
States, through their Legislatures; have a right to
create such banks, and there is no power here to
suppress them.
The gen tlernaii knew that the people of the West
can have banks or not as they see fit. Theirlegis
laturye are the proper bodies to carry out the will
of the people. They had no right to come here
throne h their representatives and suppress the
banks ol other States where the people are well
satisfied with them. New York has good banks.
The proposition would do ranch: mischief and
certainly would not strengthen the credit of the
country.
Mr. Morrill (VL ) regretted the gentleman (Mr.
Farnsworth) should have , appealed to.the West
for votes. We are here, he said,as the repre-senta
tives of the United States of America and not the
representatives of the West alone.
We are sent here to act for all the people and not
fcr any particular part. It was stated in a Wes
tern paper that he (Mr Morrill) was,Morrill, o!
Vermont ; and the President of a WildrUat Bank at
Chelsea, in that State.
Now he never was the president of a bank. The
bill, without the slnendmente, proposed to tax all
banks in a legilima.e way. This was not a ques
tion of ihe - enpprmeion of State banks
If th a amendment be adopted it would retard
the progress of •he bill not only here. buc in the
othc r brawl, of Mud recs.
- - -
Mr. (Upson (N.Y. ) was eorry the amendmen
bad been offered and that the gentleman had
spoken of the banking institutions of New York as
rotten, when it was enough to say, atone time, no
institutions were sounder or more satisfactory, and
there was no Setter system than that of New York.
The general government has had to copy from
Be them to give character to its own scheme.
oppolled the amendment because Congress
has no power to destroy these State institutions.
It bad been decided by the Supreme Cohrt of the
United States that they are lawful Institutions,
and Congr ess has ng power to forbid their. ores
than. • This amendates t, if carried, may defeat the
Mr. Price (lova) expressed Lis astonishment
that this amendment had been introduced. It
would, if adopted, raise a stornt of
.excitement
which the House would be unable to meet. The
object of taxation was that the burdens should fall
t goal os all.
All the amendments to the Tax bill were acted
on by the Committee of the Whole; and reported
to the How e.
The Committee having risen, the House then
proceeded to the consideration of the Tax bill.
