PORT HUDSON.

Port HndsOn Ia about twenty five miles above
Baton Rouge, on The east side of the Mississippi
II is point where bend forms almost q righl
angle, thus completely commanding the river
both ways. On the north, for a distance of eigh,
miles, il 10 protected by an impossible swamp,
which Ia bounded on the side nearest Port Hud
son by Thompson's creek, the hither bank ol
which is precipitous bluff, crowned by on in
trenched abattis. This abatLis extends from the
river eastward, till Ii joins series of intrench.
monts nine or ten miles ia extent, sweeping to
the south in aem-circle till they rest upon the
river on the Greet of range of high hills. The
country In the rear Is rolling, and possesses many
natural advantages In favor Of the enemy. Be-
tween Baton Rouge and Port Hudson is a long
stretch of territory difficult of access at all
times, being covered by dense woods and under
growth, and abounding In bayous and marshes
Tho place, both by nature and art, is unquestlOn.
ably one of great strength. The southern peo.
pie in the vicinity call il their Gibraltar, and
profess TO believe il to be impregnable.
The water deienses of Port Hudson are said
TO consist of eight batteries numbering between
twenty and thirty guns. One Of these batteries
is stationed Oh bluff eighty feet high. Another
Ia planted just below the mouth Of Thomps0n's
creek. The most oiithe guns are 24's, 32s and
42's, but there are one or two one hundred and
twenty Founders. The land defenses we're
chiefly built after the advance of the Federal
forces to Baton Rouge. They mount In all some
thirty or forty guns, come Of them of heavy
calibre, and 10 addition to these there are at
leAst four field batteries which can be readily
moved to any pert of the works. The position
seems TO be entirely inclosed In q eerles of for
tifcatOns of the most elaborate and formidable
character, but whether there are any interior
lines remains to be revealed. The probability,
how ever, is that the rebels would scarcely rely
on a single line, and that the exterior intrench-
menta include several others, as was found to
be the case at Vicksburg. Indeed, the general
plan of the defenses at Port Hudson appears to
be the same as the point just mentioned, the on
ly deviations being such as required by the
variation in the surface OF the country.
Port Hudson District ia commanded by the
able Major General Franklin Gardner, q vete-
ral soldier and an able officer, who was assigned
to duty there on the 9th of December last. A
portion of his staff is as follows:
Lieut.. ALICE Dupre, Abide Camp; Lieut.. T.
F. Wilson, A. A. G.; Capt. J. M. Spratley, A.
z. NJ; Caft. John ]. Wheadon, A. G. s., and
Lieut. r. M. Rogers, Ordnance officer.
The troops of the post were until recently, if
they are, not now under command of General
Beal.
