evening In readiness TO progress on 10 the city
Of Charleston, so far as outward. Indications
are concerned, and the weather, aftor four days
Of heavy storm and rain, is moet favorable for
the work,
Admiral Dupont will also start to-day for the
same destination, on tho James Adger, which

win go into the engagement on board the Iron
sides. s
How long We viii walt In the North Edlsto,
Is not known, though our stay there will
propably be short. II is also not known
whether the attack will be made by day or
by night. We will now have hne moonlight

Thus, on entering, the feet, after running the
gauntlet Of all these shore batleries, will ultl-
mately come in range Of Fort Sumter. On ap-
preaching Fort Sumter there Will ee a con-
centration Of fire upon them, such As has never
before occurred In naval history. The guns Of

able to concentrate their fire on them At one and
the same moment, throwing weight Of metal

We have since learned that 1t was the noble

THE REBELS EvACUATING PORT
HUDSON.
SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONS IN CEN
BANKS DEPARTMENT.

New YORK, April THE steamer Eastern
Queen has arrived, from New Orleans on the
29th Of March, via Key West ON the lst Of April.
. Capt. Collins reports that while at Fort St.
Philip, Southwest Pass, he was boarded by a
United States boarding officer, who reported
having received a telegram from New Orleans,
stating that the rebels had begun TO evacuate
Port Hudson.
On the 2Sth a scouting party of thirteen rebels
was captured near Baton Rouge.
Col. Dudley's brigade had made an exped-
tion to point on the west side Of the Miss!s-
sippi, half way between Port Hudson and Point
Coupe. They burned the rebel steamer Hope,
with six hundred barrels of molasses on board
of her, and at Hermitage Landing DESTROYED
sixteen hundred barrels Of molassos, a rebel
machine shop, and a granary contalning fifteen
thousand bushels OF corn, besides several build
inss, including the post office.
Our expedition to Ponchatoula and Pass
Marche was completely successful. The troops
consisted Of the Sixth Michigan, a battalion Of
the One Hundred and sixty-fifth New York,
and part Of the One Hundred and Seventy
seventh New York and Seventy fourth Maine,
with pieces Of artillery, manned by men from
the Ninth Connecticut.
The gunboat Barratara and yacht Corypheus
accompanied them. POnchatOula was oCcu-
pied after q skirmish with the rebel cavalry,
800 strong, and the railroad bridge two miles
beyondwas destroyed after the rebels had been
driven from 1t by a detachment Of the Sixth
Michigan. The bridge was five hundred feet
long. large amount Of -four, tobacco, and
other stores, fell into our hands.
Our forces occupy Ponchatoula, Pass Marche,
and Springfield, and the rebel cavalry are said
to be so hedged in that escape is dihieult.
Three cotton-laden schoonerB were captured
near Ponchatoula.
Collector Bullltt had suspended all transpor-
tatiOn permits above New Orleans, unless mill
tary necessity require such transportation.
This has been deemed necessary to prevent at
tempted frauds.
Texas adyices through rebel sources say that
Magruder has issued orders granting all per.
sons permission to transport cotton to the
Mexican frontier. He says it is impossible to
sustain the army without purchasing, with cot.
ton, supplies brought from foreign countries.

been burned by the Union forces under Col
Rust in return for an attempt of the rebels to

SIT Is believed that tho rebels have agents
throughout the whole Of the State Of Sinoloa,
purchasing mules and blankets for the rebel
army. Great numbers Of mules have already
been sent ftom that and other Mexican States
into Texas, and six hundred thousand pairs oi
blankets, II Is said, have been already contract
cd for. The Mexican Government has been
notified Of these matters, and is about to take
active measures 10 stop this trafiic-nOt solely
on account Of its known sympathy with the

way to the invading French at Vera Cruz.
SIT Is positively asserted in circles supposed
to be well posted that within ninety days-per-
haps thirty-the French flag In Sonora and the
American flag In Lower California will stimuli
taneously be hoisted. Intrigues 10 that effect
are most certainly in progress. 1t is said that
the authorities Of Sonora are willing for the
French to take possession; but that those OF
Lower California are opposed TO coming In
under that flag, an territory or colony, and
prefer the American,

commons. 1t is not at all improbable that
such an attempt will be made, but II 1t should
