The red river Expedition.

[official Dispatch.]

Mobile, March 31, 1864.
To Gen. S. Cooper.
New Orleans papers of the 24th inst, state that an engagement on Bayon Rapides, above Alexandria, on the 21st inst., resulted in the capture of two hundred and ten Confederate prisoners, four pieces of artillery, with caissons, and a large number of horses and mules.

The whole force of the enemy appears to be concentrated on this invasion.
