Finally they are dangerous men in any mmentty: a8 much so as the leaders of the late riot in New -York, and should, with equal propriety, have received a ticket of leave at the same time with the registered enemies. It is upon the representations of such men that Messrs.

They bad, during the occupancy of the place, fortified the mouth of Bayou Chene, some distance below, on the Atchafalaya river, and also had built some formi- dabie works at or pear Berwick City. When they were seized with the panic that caused their sudden evacua- tion they destroyed the gun carriages, but left the guns on the fortifications behind them. They are now in strong force at Camp Becsland, where the first fight of the Attakapas campaign occurred, and have fortified it in a manner to render our advance upon the position a very ticklish operation. Generals Taylor, Green and Mouton are in command of the rebel forces. ‘When two regiments of General Weitzel’s command reached Brashear they found nothing in the way of provisions, Four gunboats ‘are now there, which, with the troops, will be able to hold the position against any force that may attempt an attack.
