Of Port Hudson.
left Baton Rouge for Por. Hudson, May

IN season to open on the enemy that attacked
Maj. Gen. Augur's division. Ga The 23i
joined Gen. Shermans pad division, and ar
rived within mile of the enemy's works on
the 2ith. The 2jtA-M Monday night was
ordered by Gen, Sherman to take one section
through the woods in front oil and within
two-thuds of a mile Of the rebel batteries,
witt instructions to open fire, test their ar
ullery and keep them awake at their guns,
which did, and the rebels opened at intervals
a well directed fire in return. Al day break
my gunners could see their object, and fired
with periec' accuracy, when the enemy open
ed two heavy batteries upon us, doing con-
siderable damage. During the duel | had
four men wounded, two horses wounded, and
two carriages disabled We kept steady
fire on the batteries until afternoon, when
ordered up another section to reinforce, and
sent the right section, Lieut.. Rice, more to
the right on the Port Hudson Road. Dur
ing the night kept the enemy up with Welt
directed FIRE, and in the morning Lieut. Rice
moved still closer, aud the whole battery o ,len-
ed on fortyfo FOUNDER rife aud silenced
it. Lieut. Rice's section then joined the 9TH
er sections and kept up steady fire until
one o'clock, when by order Of General Sher-
man | advanced in line with the slorming
party up to within four hundred yards Of the
parapet and opened on the batteries, which
the infantry charged. My instructions were
if possible to draw the enemy's fire from the
infantry, and from the whlsting in the air
partially succeeded. The infantry were re-
pulsed and formed in rear of the battery, and
all retired to the old position, the First Yer

Naebcrn. A. g., dug. 3.--The al of Vicks-

The recent proclamation Of jeff. Davis,
calling upon all to take up arms is exciting
great anxiety throughout the state Thous-

the people, in order that North Carolina may
be able to return to the Union, is the DAHL
duplication of the citizens from all parts Of
tho State, who sincerely peace and protec-
ton. II this step is taken at once, and an
additional Union force sent here. the rebellion
in Virginia and North Carolina will end in
thirty days.

August 4th, 1868.
DEAR JOURNAL: Again have the pleas
ure of announcing to you the fact. that dur
ing the past two months, in oar march from
Fredericksburg, Va, to Hagarsiown Md, in
pursuit Of Gen. Lee and his army, we have
had the hardest time, and met With the great
est success in crushing the rebellion, that we
have ever had since we enlisted. The battle
at Gettysburg was a severe and heart-rouding
time to mourning friends as our good, fear
less, brave boys we're slain by hundreds upon
that feld--but we come far sholt Of loosing
az many as was lost on the rebel side. II
must have been a terrible sight to many OF
the citizens 20 have seen the rebel dead, as
they lay piled up in heaps, all over that scene
OF action; but to us, who have followed them
month after month, and year after year, il was
cheering sight; we only wish it was manly,
and an order Of the Government not to re-
spect a flag Of truce, for then we would have
had nearly the entire rebel army stretched
upon the field Of blood
On our route from Gettysburg to Maryland
we drove them swiftly before us, and several
times came so close upon the rear guard of
the enemy as to FIRE upon them, and were
perfectly successful in every point In short,
we drove the whole force to a small space of
earth between the Potomac and Funkstown,
where we had him completely bayed, and
would IN all probablit, have forced surten-
uef next morning. hau NOV me s.hng snpPeo

we're glad TO find that his retreat was so has-

C. II. Wright, Of Pownal, recently caught

My doctrine is that the States as States,
have no right to oppose the execution Of the
powers which the general government asserts.
Any State has undoubtedly the right to ex-
press its opinions in the form of resolution,
or otherwise, and to proceed, by constitutions
al means, to redress any real or imaginary
grievance but it has no right to withhold
its military aid when called upon by the high
authorities Of the general government much
less so obstruct the execution OF law regu-
larry passed. To suppose the existence Of
such an alarming right, is to suppose, il not
dlsunion itself, such a state of disorder and
confusion, or must inevitably lead to it,

IRON SHIrBrILDlHG on TIE MERsEr.-
less than twenty-thrce vessels of various sizes,
not including gnnboats for the Emperor of
China, and the frigate for the English Gov
ernment at Brkcnhcad An improvement in
the building of ships has lately been intro
duced, and tho reports from the experimental
vessels are very satisfactory indeed. We re-
fer to the building of vessels Of steel. 1t
gives ships double the strength Of iron with
plates Just one half the thickness. thus allow
ing them to carry cargo on considerably
less draft of water; it is also stronger than
iron, and being of such light substance the
vessels can be built with finer lines. So salts
factory have the experiments been that keel
has been laid down to build ship Of 1000
tons for Messrs. G.. S. Lemon &; Co., to trade
between this port and the East Indies. The
steel fleet are the steamers Banshee and
Phantom (the latter now loading ut this port
for Nassau) and the schooner Domitila, now
on her way to the Sandwich Islands. Mr.
| Laird has also on hand the two gunboats for
| the Emperor of China, but about whose ulti.
| mate destination so much has been said
They are in very forward state, and their
launch may soon be looked for. Some of the
! plates used are five inch ones, and are bent to
the requisite angle by hydraulic power. The
vessels are beautiful specimens of naval archi
lecture, and very strong, built in Mr.. Laird's
we'll known style, and will certainly add eff
eiently to fleet in either the China or Con-
| federate waters. From these it will be seen
that the trade is at present unusually brisk
and will bear favorable comparison with any
other part of the gdom.-[ Liverpool Jour
