nder Brigadier-General Alfred Mouton from crossing, a day or two after his engagement with General Weitzel, on Bayou Lafourche, at Texana: The Confederates crossed the bay to the Berwick side at the extremity of the Opelousas railroad, and marched up to a point fourteen miles above the bay, and there obstructed the bayou. They had destroyed the railroad bridge at Bayou Boeuf, some eight miles below Brashear City. Colonel Thomas, of the Eighth Vermont regiment, is now repairing it. From Thibodeaux to Brashear City it is twenty-nine miles. One portion of General Weitzel's corps d'armee is at Tigerville, half way between these two points, and as soon as the communications are established, he will be able to throw his forces in a few hours on any point he wishes. We know that the Bayou Teche falls into the Atchafalaya very near Berwick's Bay, and by this bayou you pentrate through all the parts of Attakapas. Opelousas, Vermillionville, St. Martinsville and Franklin are on its banks.

ppi, opposite New Orleans, for the west, crossed Bayou Lafourche a little below the village of Thibodeaux, and terminated at that time at the little town of Brashear City. This town, situated on the ook possession of the whole course of Bayou Lafourche without striking a blow; and on reaching Thibodeaux, he pushed as far as Brashear City, which he found abandoned. The railroad, which had not beetroops with him, had been obliged to abandon Brashear City, and had taken a strong position at Thibodeaux and at the railway bridge on Bayou Lafourche. The Confederates had taken advantage of this tore protected by bales of cotton, had full control of the river above this point. Weitzel left Thibodeaux on the 11th of January, 1863, with his brigade for Brashear City, where he overtook a naval dibstacle placed in the vicinity of the fort; the expedition returned to Brashear, and thence to Thibodeaux. We shall see this same Bayou Teche becoming the object of another and more important campaig

ke, and on the other side, as far as the eye could reach, toward the shore of the Gulf of Mexico, this town seemed to be protected against any sudden attack. A few small posts were écheloned along the New Orleans railroad, the Bayou Lafourche, Thibodeaux, and Lafourche. Finally, at Donaldsonville, a point where this bayou emerges from the Mississippi, a fort had been constructed along the edge of the river, which was in charge of Major Bullen, Of the Twenty-eighth Maine.—Ed. an intelligent, captured a detachment of invalids and destroyed three small Federal transports. At Bayou Coula, on the 10th, he recaptured, to use his own expression, about one thousand stolen negroes. On the 20th, avoiding Donaldsonville, he passed through Thibodeaux, which had been abandoned by the enemy; then he continued his march along the right bank of Bayou Lafourche in order to reach Terrebonne and destroy the railroad at this point, the only line of retreat for the garrison of Brashear City.

The enemy in Caillou Island. --We copy the following from the Lafourche (Thibodaux, La.) Union, of the 23d ult.: Not more than a fortnight ago. Mr. Douglas, who keeps the lighthouse on Timballer island, reported, it is said, that he had seen two or three war vessels standing off in the direction of what is generally known among our fishermen as the Belle Pass. The news comes to he this week that a number of Lincolnites have landed on Caillou island, killing cattle and committing other depressions. For some weeks past no one has resided on the island--Mr. Faugi, who has had charge of the property on the island, having, for prudential reasons, deemed it best to put into practice the saying that "discretion is the better part of valor," and migrated with his family to the mainland. The number of cattle roaming about Caillou Island was large, and owned by the Thibodanx family and Judge Barras, who have summer residences on the island.

w tribe passed through here yesterday on the way to visit the Great Father at Richmond. Grant has established a garrison of about 3,000 men at Natchez. Wirt Adams's scouts bring intelligence that Banks attacked Dick Taylor at Donaldsonville on the 23d ult, and was defeated, with a loss of 6,000, including 4,000 prisoners; and that Taylor's and Magruder's forces have since united on the Teche river, which, if true, will enable Taylor to place in position the seige guns captured at Thibodaux, and blockade the river below. [Second Despatch] Morton, Aug. 3 --The latest advices from the Mississippi river represent the river as swarming with gunboats and transports above Vicksburg. Eight gunboats and ten transports were counted between Vicksburg and Natchez last Friday. This does not prevent communication with the trans Mississippi Department. Accounts from that side are cheering, but contraband. The enemy have placed a garrison of 2,500 men at New Carthage. L
