Confederate victories in Louisiana--capture of 1,000 prisoners, &c.

--Official dispatches from Gen. Dick Taylor, dated Alexandria, La., 26th, say he stormed and carried at the point of the bayonet, with unloaded guns, the enemy's position at Berwick's Bay, capturing over 1,000 prisoners, 10 heavy guns, and a large amount of stores. Their loss in killed and wounded is not known. The same dispatch says their position at Thibodaux was also carried, by whom it is not stated, but it is supposed by Gen. Walker.

This gives us command of the Mississippi river above New Orleans, and enables us to cut off Banks's supplies. Lt. Wilson, with a volunteer company, captured Capt. Manners and his entire party of 53 man, after killing four who burned the train of cars at Brookhaven a few days since.
