New York, April 22. The Herald's New Orleans letter of the 14th inst. says the news to-day from Brashear City is of the utmost importance. The enemy evacuated his works at Centreville last night, but will probably be captured entire, as he is enclosed between Gen. Grover's forces on one side and those of Gen. Emory and Weitzel on the other. He is leaving his guns and ammunition behind him.
The steamer Diana, lately taken from us, will certainly be recaptured, as the U. S. steamer Clifton has removed the obstructions in the river, and is rapidly approaching her.
The ram Queen of the West was recaptured from the enemy in Grand Lake at ten o'clock this morning. Capt. Fuller, her commander, and all her crew and officers, numbering 90 persons, are now prisoners at Berwick Bay. (Boston Herald, April 23, 1863, Pg. 4, Col. 2.)
