YRoX PORT HUDSON.

The Herald" of the 9th, publishes some
very interesting news from Port Hudson, re-
ceived byffhc Creole frorg,New Orleans, which
arrived fs@@s yesterday.
A second assault upon Port Hudson was
made by tho Union troops on the l4th inst,
and they were again disastrously rcpulsed-
The loss of field officers was very large in kill
cd and wounded, amounting to no Jess than
five Colonels. Our troops, though repulsed,
fought bravely. 1t seems evident tlat Gen.
Banks has not force enough to accomplish
what ho so darinngly attempts, and it is to be
hoped that he will be speedily reinforced from
assault would be made on the 10Th. Our cor
respondent on the field states that Col. Dudley
has volunteered, and was to lead ''forlorn
hope" or storming column of four thousand
men, all picked volunteers The result Of this
attack remains to be known.

RAIDS IN MISSISSIPPI

BRooKHAvES, June 24.-Rumors reached

takes $4,000 men TO accomplish it.

ton, if we ere determined to cow the Gov
ernnrent into not enforcing il, or allow others
to cow it: if We will insist in prating about the
State militia, and rely on Gubernatorial energy
and enthusiasm, we must be content with
defeats and pauics, and make up our minds
for a final and irretrierable breakdown. All
the thirty days men that Gov. Seymour, or
Parker, or Curtin can call into the field for the
next ten years, will do no more toward
putting down the rebellion or ending the war
in any way but by disgracefnl peace, than
the explosion Of tire-crackers If people are
not satisfied Of this now, they never will be
satisfied, and we solemnly call upon the Gov
ernment to apply to the national courage and
determination, the supreme and final test Of
raising, by draft, for the war, as many men rs
it needs. To delay it one minute longer is
worse than weakness, and if the country will
not submit TO this, it will prove. beyond all
question, that it is sick of fighting, and is for
peace On any terms und whenever this is
proven, the Administration will bc bound to
let it have its way, and wallow in the mire.

FREDERICK, Nd, June 24.-Gencrals Lee
and Longstrcet were both, Mt Winchester on
Friday last with 100000 men. They intend to
cross the Potomac in two days.
Large rebel trains, wagons, provisions tents,
etc., were moving North through Hagerstown,

strong, left Hagerstown on Tuesday for Cham
bcrsburS.
Gen. Johnston's rebel division, twelve thou
sand strong, with thirteen pieces Of artillery,

half Of this force was at Boonsboro' ON Mon
day and left on Tuesday for the North. The
other half went to Williamsport.

blown up by the rebels, and the bridges over
Black creek, Sleepy creek, Sir Johns run,

STARTLING RuNoR OF LEES PROXIMITY TO WASH

WASHINGTON, June 25-S j. M.-Thcrc arc
strong indicatipns tonight that Fes has 1T
only achieved the grand project. of massi:ess
his strength on this side Of the Potomac, but
that he is actually within short. distance of
Washington, having moved considerable force
from Shephcrdstowna and Antctam fords down
the tow-path of the canal, or else along the
inner roads from Boonsboro' and Middleton.
to the vicinity of Poolcsvilc, Nashville and
Rockville. From these points he has direct
access to the rear of Washington, and can, by
an expert movement, destroy the railroad be-
tween the capital and Annapolis Junction, un-
less he should underatc the force which it is
thought has been concentrated to oppose him
in this design. 4 prominent transportation
company is to-day refusing to receive vaiua-
bic articles for shipment between Baltimore
and Washington. If the enemy has gained a
position Of so much Importance upon 1lookers
rear there is cause for apprehension concern
ing the safety Of Tylcrs force which has been
holding Maryland Heights. Although it is
hardly probable that Tyler has been captured,
it is possible that his communication with the
Army of the Potomac in Virginia, and with
the force under Gen. Schcnck have been bro
ken. a flank movement on the part Of Gen.
Hooker across the three lower fords may re-
suit disastrously for the enemy by isoating
his right from his new base Of operations upon
the upper Potomac. Whatever truth there
may be in the report of Lees proximity to
Washington, there is still opportunity for re-
| pclling his further advance

stood to belong to EwclI, did not pass through
the place until that night. This force was
estimated to be from 10000 to 25,00U strong.
The troops did very little damage besides

somewhere between Winchester and Martins
burg, moving towards the river. To-day we
have no doubt that the whole OF EwelPs col
umn is in Pennsylvania not far from Cham
borsburg.
The gentleman who saw Ewcl's troops says
they had with them q very large number of
wagons. From this fact it is inferred that
they intend to gather all the supplies they
can find. So far aS General Iluukcr's position
is concerned it is sufficient 70 say that lie is
