FURTHER FROM PORT HUDSON
GREAT STRENGTH OF THAT POINT
GEN. MAGRCDER FORTIFYING FRANKLIN
TO DEFEND THAT PLACE If PORT
HUDSON Is TAKEN

NEW YORK, June 27.-Col. Curing saws that
Port Hudson is one of the strongest places in
the world. He describes the works as follows:
First. An abattis of felled trees for at least
one hundred yards. then a ditch forty-three
feet wide, with from four to six feet of water
in it; then glacis twenty feet high, sloping
gradually to the parapet, which is protection
for sharpshooters. Behind this, say one nun
dred yards, is another line of works. on which
heavy and field artillery is mounted.
The correspondent of the Herald don't think
it will be taken except by starving out the gar
rison.
A hundred and fifty of the Metropolitan cav
airy were captured by the enemy, two miles
from Banks headquarters, without firing q
gun, or drawing sabre.
The steamers Anglo American and Sykes
have been captured by guerillas at Plaguemine
The crews were taken prisoners, and the boats
destroyed.
There is no doubt but that Magruder is in
the Attakapas country, with twenty thousand
men, destroying all the property that comes in
his way.
He is also terrifying at Franklin, to defend
that county should Port Hudson fall.

suoyed the bridge over the Tensas, short dis
lance from the head of Lake Providence. The
rebels opened on him with a 6-pounder, dam
aging our forces at first considerably, bat his
men succeeded in silencing the gun and pre-
venting the rebels from crossing; also pouring
in terrible fire of musketry upon them as
they pressed up to the river. Thinking our
force larger than it was, the enemy retreated,
with heavy loss.
On the same day Gen. Mower marched on
Richmond from Sherman's Landing with his
brigade of infantry and Taylor's old Chicago
battery, under command of Capt. Barrett. On
reaching the Tensas, he met the rebel pickets
and drove them in The rebels burned the
bridges, and undertook to make stand. Capt.
Barrett opened fire, well supported by infantry.
Such was the combined shower of shell and
bullets that, though fighting well, they were
obliged to fall back with what cavalry force
they had. Gen. Mower then pursued the fly.
ing enemy, succeeding IN capturing forty-two
prisoners.
The affair was perfected with signal vigor
and promptness. Our troops, in their impetu-
osity and daring overcoming the disparity in
numbers on the part OF the enemy. 1t is likely,
from indications, that the entire force OF Gen.
Dick Taylor, who, by the way, is 8 son OF old
lack, has skedaddled to the Red river country.

Gen. Ewell issued a supplementary order in

and proceeded toward Richmond, La.
Al the forks of the road, within three miles of
Richmond, l met Gen. Mowry's command, and
we proceeded forward together, my forces
being in the advance. We met the enemy about
mile from town, who opened upon our ad-
vance line of skirmishers from behind hedges
and trees and gullies, but they fled before our
advance, and took shelter behind the levee on

artillery very vigorously for time. Sson it
slackened, and finally ceased altogether; and

He had destroyed the bridge over the BAYOU
to prevent our following. We found three of

about sixty stand of small arms. The enemy
was commanded by Maj. Gen. Walker-was a
part OF Kirby Smiths command, and consisted
of two brigades, containing seven regiments
a.! 90 strong. with six pieces of artillery.
They retreated towards Delhi, where Gen
McCulloch is said TO be posted with a com.
mand about equal in strength to the one we
encountered.
This was the same force that attacked the
negro regiment at Milllgen's Bend a week be-
fore, and was repulsed.
Our entire loss was three men wounded-one
