B Fiandreau, of the Eighth Louisiana regiment (for- merly of New ‘ochello, N. ¥.), swam across the river yesterday, and surreudored himself to the pickets of the Yrooklyn Fourteenth regiment. He enlisted in the Eighth Louisiana on June 19, 1861, and has participated in seven- tron engagements, ¥OOD AND CLOTHING. Mr. Flandreau represents that the rations of the army consist of one pound of flour and half a pound of bacon daily, though it bas been only a quarter pound of the latter. Their shoes are chiefly imported from England, and the supply is quite ample. Most of the troops have ery comfortable clothing. STRENGTH OF LENS ARMY. From what he can learn, he thinks there are 130,000 men in the rebel Army of the Rappahannock. The men and officers are quite confident of suceess, provided we do not take Vicksburg. If that point is wrested from the rebels, they admit that iv diminishes thetr strength aud renders their cause almost hopeless. it is claimed by the rebels that the battle with General Hooker was the most complete victory that the South has had during the war. ut notwithstanding this they wore not in 60 good spirits after as before the battle. PREPARING YOR AN ADVANOR. Since as well as before the battle of Chancellorsville the rebol army has been reducing its transportation and send- tng extra baggage wo the rear. As Mr. Flapdreau ex- presses it, they seem to be making the same preparations 5 were made before the advance into Maryland jast year. : Acts Passe@ banat at Rebel Congress. s ‘ Opole, by the.

Canada is in the midst of a genera) election for repre- sentatives. There 1s, however, no excitement over it, and apparently the whole interest is confined to the can- didates and those who look for places. Outside of their immediate circles the questions of tbe canvass are not sub- jects of conversation.

There are se disputes Spout seats. Every passenger may bave an average of about twelve for his own personal use. Since I crosued the Suspension Bridge I have not seen a car anywhere near full, I have ridden on a train of three cars with.less than twenty persons on the whole train, This was on the Great Western Raflroad.

There were present, counting jockeys, stableboys, trackmen, ticket takers, barkeepers and gamblers, about one hundred persons. Thus it would seem that the Cavadian of this present month of May, 1863, doesn’t go to the races—doesn't bother about the elections—doesn’t travel in the cars, and has pleaty of silver. Happy man!
