PORT HUDSON.

The news from Port Hudson is discOuraging,
if true, but it comes wholly from the Rebel
papers aud is not TO be credited TIL confirmed
by more Trustworthy accounts. The first dis
patch, printed in the Richmond papers of the
10th, announced that Admiral Farregut had
attacked Port Hudson and been repulsed that
the Mississippi was burned, and Farragut's
flagship, the Hartford, disabled. No land
forces were concerned in the attack.
The Richmond Wing of the 18th Processes TO
give further details. II represents the bonn
bardment as having begun at . o'clock on the
nth, and that at midnight Admiral Farragut
attempted to pass the Rebel batteries, under
cover Of darkness. One gunbOat succeeded IN
getting through. The Mississippi. as by the
previous Dispatch was burned to tho waters
edge in front of tho batteries; another large
vessel was completely riddled, a third badly
crippled, and the rest driven back.
If we suppose this account to have any basis
in fact it will not do TO accept tho whole OF
it without question. The burning Of tho Ms.
sSsppi is an occurrence about which the
Rebels could not well have been mistaken. 1t is
either true, or invented outright. But the
rest of tho stof may BIO easily credited to the
same imaginative powers which sunk and dis
persed tho whole Of the Charleston blockading
fleet. How was anybody on shore in tho dark
to know that vessel, mile or two away,
was completely riddled, or another crippled Z

THE REPORTED CAPTURE OF THE
CITY OF MEXICO.

Richmond papers contain rumor that the
French have succeeded in capturing the City
Of Mexico. No details whatever are given, but
the authority Of The Gairesion Ne,os, of tho I'd
inst, is odduced, which states that the report
has been obtained from an official letter of the
French Consul at MatamOrGs.
If the date OF the Galveston paper ia given
correctly, It ia almost impossible that the news
should be true. Gen. Forey did not leave
Orizaba until Feb. %. 1t was asserted that only
from 5000 to 10000 of his troops would in
vest Puebla, and that the rest would march d.
recily upon the City Of Mexico; but that with
in seven days From Feb. 23d to March 2d), the
army should have reached Mexico, that the city,
notwithstanding its strong Notifications. should
have fallen without defense, and that the
news Of the capture should have Travelled
over the long distance from Mexico to Matamo.
ras is if at oil possible, at least 70 the highest
degree improbable. The news therefore needs
further confirmation.
II is to be remembered that on several previous
occasions false reports concerning the Mexican
war have been received, which apparently
came from Trustworthy sources. Thus, in
tho beginning of the war, a defeat of the
French at the National Bridge was an
nounced, and some time ago the capture of
Puebla by the French seemed to rest upon 80
good an authority that even the Paris MoH,.eHr
considered it to be true. Both statements turned
out 10 be false, and this, We believe, will
be the case with the news of the capture of
tho City of Mexico, which now comes to us
through O similar channel

deed.
Now if this is standing for "tho enforce.
ment of the laws" there is not felon on
earth who may not claim to be law-abldlng,
model citizen. Anybody will obey the laws if
YOU will have them from day to day altered to
suit him. But "tho enforcement of the laws"
against everybody else but Shareholders is to-
tally different from this.
Doubtless, Seymour, Toucey, and nearly
every other Copperhead in the Free States, are
for something which they call the Union. But
they cannot be for the Constitution; for that
expressly commands obedience to tho laws;
and they cannot BIO for the enforcement of
the laws" for that is the whole matter now
in controversy between the Nation and the
Rebels. Let the Laws of the Union be en-
forced, and the Rebellion falls dead on the in
slant. He who is for "the enforcement of the
laws" is inevitably the enemy OF whatever forc.
bly, resists such enforcement. Buchanan and
Toucey preserved what they called Peace for
the three last months of their shameful rule by
the simple e1pedient Of not enforcing the laws,
and not allowing those to enforce them who
would gladly have done 80. TOucey scattered
the Union fleets in order that the means OF
enforcing the laws should not at the outset be
within the reach OF the succeeding Admnistra-
ton. When Mr. Lincoln came into power
the laws of the Union were not and for months
had not been enforced throughout large por-
ton of the cOuntry-On the contrary, they we're
systematically resisted and dehed. The mo-
ment he began to enforce the laws against
their ostentatious violators-nay: the moment
he quietly said, 1.-THE laws must be enforced:
have taken a solemn oath, and cannot Tor
swear myself: Let the furnishing garrison OF
Fort Sumter be provisioned," the Rebel cannon
opened, and the country was plunged into
War.
"The enforcement of the laws ia the one
vital point on which Col. Seymour and bis op
moments are at odds. They cay that the law'
Of the Union must, to the extent OF our aollity
be enforced throughout the coun'ry-that th'
President has no discretion in the premises
but must do his sworn duty. Seymour boId'
that the laws must be enforced against fugitive
slaves and their abettors, but not against Rebe

The Yozoo Expedition seems to be,by no
means so far advanced as previous accounts
have represented it. Special dispatches from
Memphis announce that Rebel battery was
encountered at the junction of the fallaousha
and Talahatchie Riyers-no doubt the sans
which was heard of some time ago, aud WHICH
is mentioned in Richmond papers as Fort fem'
berton. Only a small part Of the tlees seems
TO have been engaged, the rest, we suppose
being still behind. The fight was severe one
lastlpg oil day, and resulting in check to inc
progress of the fleet till tho remainder should
come up.
There are reports Of other Notifications be-
side those previously known to exist. IL I"
probable that the delays which the Expedition
has experienced have enabled the Rebels 70

ones on the banks of the Yazoo, and this heSs may

the Rebel accounts, there il any plausible evil
dence.
Surprising so much to DO true, it is probable
that Admiral Farragut found the Rebel de-
lenses too strongly situated to DO successfully
attacked from below, and undertook here the
same plan which at New.Orleans resulted in
brilliant success. The absence of cooperation by
the land forces is conclusive on the point that
this was not the deliberate, determined, gen
eraI assault which the Rebels would make it.
But if the Union fleet has tried " pass the
batteries and failed, the repulse is very likely
serious one. Such an attempt would neither
have been made nor abandoned without good
reasons. les failure may imperil the present
success Of the expedition
We print on the first page q map of Port
Hudson and its dclenccs, which is more com
plete than has yet been published, and shows
clearly enough the immense strength OF the po-
siton. There are no Notifications more formi-
dable to fleet of gunboats than heavy bate
ries on high bluffs. Fort Darling on the James
River, which proved mpregnablc to our iron
clads, was similarly situated. AT Port hudson
the course of the river is such that their bat
teries,, if once passed, might be successfully
attacked in the rear; but it is not easy to see
how they could be reduced by direct fire in
front. unless by help Of cooperating forces on
shore.
Accounts of this engagement ought speedily
to reach US by way Of Memphis and CAIRO.
We await them with deepest interest.
