Port Hudson Besieged by Banks.
NEw YoRK1- June 8 BY the steamer

Orleans this forenoon, we have the follow
4 ing news;
Seventy-fve prisoners arrived at New
Orleans on the 26th, from Baton Rouge,
among them Ex-Goy. Robert Wickliffe,
who was captured near Port Hudson
The Era of the 9th has the following:
Banks moved down Red River with his
army and crossed to Bayou Sara, thence to
Port Hudson, where hesunited his forces
with Augurs.
The gunboats under Farragut were to
go to Port Hudson on the Gath.
The mortar feet opened FIRE on Port
Hudson on the night of the Gath, silenciug
several Of the enemy's guns. Port Hud-
son is now, therefore, closely besieged and
hemmed in, and the fall of this stronghold
will be speedy, even should Gen. Banke
not order an assault of the works. Col.
Grierson is cooperating with Banks.
The garrison of Port Hudson is estima-
ted at about 10000, scantily supplied with
provisions. -...Irr -, - -. r..-.
The reported rebel iron-clnd raid from
Mobile and capture of two of our sEips-of-
war proves to be canard.

HaHTHE INCOME TAx-The Commits
siouer of Internal Revenue has decided
that the profits of manufacturer from his
business are not exempt from the income
tax in consequence of having paid the ex-
else tax upon articles manufactured by him.
A merchants return of income should COW
er the business of the year 1862, excluding
previous years. Uncolleoted accounts must
be estimated. Old debts considered hope
less, if paid within the time covered by the
return of income, must be included in the
tax. Debts considered lost at the en.i of
the year 1862, due to the business of the
year, may DO deducted. Interest is con-
sidered income only when paid, unlessitis
collectable, and remains unpaid by con-
sent of parties. Inceme derived from coal
mines must be returnable, though the tax
has not been paid in coal produced. Con-
tingent funds of manufacturing corpora
tons made up during 1862, and not dis.
tributed, should not be returned as income
of the stockholders. Every member of
limited partnership, making no dividend or
division of profits until the expiration of
the partnership, must return his share of
the profits arising from the business in
1862, as if the division of profits had beGn
made. Firmsas such will not make returns.
Charitable, literary and scientific institu-
tions are wholly exempted from the income
tax, These decisions are highly important
in their character, and will, as far as they
go, assist each individual in making out
his return properly, though there are mum.
bers of questions yet arising under th law
which require early official Interpretation
aud announcement.

BB-DEArH OF JonN MoCuLIocH Rso /

Ba%DRATH OF JoHN MoCULLocH, ESQ
I'VE have already announced the death
of John McCulloch. Esq, which took place
on Friday last. On Tuesday last the fol.
lowing proceedings were had in the ,Coun.
ty Court - 81
WHEREAS, Sincethe last meeting of this
Court, John McCulloch, Esq, for many
years its faithful and efficient Clerk has
departed this life. ReSolved therefore,
That the following minutes be entered up
| on the records: So
That this Court has learned with deep
regret and sorrow of the demise of John
slcCulloch, Esq, for tue last thirty years
the Clerk of this Court, the duties of
which office he has discharged with faith
tnl diligence, in courteous manner and
in an upright spirit
ResoEUed, That in his death this Court
has lost a most valued officer and the menu
bora of the bar q respected associate, en-
deared to them by many long years of of
hcial intercourse; and these resolutions are
now offered and recorded as testimonial
of their sincere aud high regard for his
memory.
ResolUed, That o copy of these resolu.
tons, with the sympathies of the Court,
be rendered to his bereaved family in their
afHiction, and that as further token of
respect this Court do now adjourn.
Asindicated above, Mr.. McCulloch oc-
cupied the position of County Clerk for
more than thirty-one years. Hewas never
opposed for the position but once, being
permitted to occupy the place by singu-
larry unanimous consent of the people of
the county. In the fuluess of time, ftly
closing life of usefulness and honor, he
has gone to his last home. During all this
long period his official station brought
him into daily Communication with his
fellow men, in the discharge of duties as
onerous as they were important, but SO
blameless was his life, SO earnest and
faithful his devotion to duty, and SO guile
less hts heart, that he commanded from all
the well earned tribute OF praise and com.
His life and the existence of
the ancient tribunal of which he was the
Clerk, have by n striking coincidence, c!o-
sed together, leaving US the hope and faith
that tho excellencios of each will survive
under other forms.

IR:-Amidst successes 1 regret to re-
port any losses, but we cannot expect, to
conquer a place like this without some
loss. At the earnest request of Generals
Grant and Sherman 1 sent the Cincinnati
to entilade some rifle pits which barred the
progress of the lett wing of our army.
Gen. Sherman supposed the enemy had
removed his heavy guns to the rear of the
city. On the contrary he seemed to have
planted more on the water side than usual.
The Cincinnati was sunk and went down
IN shoal water with her flag flying The
enemy still continued to fire upon her, but
the flag was not hauled down. Twenty
live men were killed and wounded and is
are missing. The latter are supposed to
be drowned. The vessel can be raised.
The pilot was killed early in the action,
