The offers of the commonwealth come alike
to the new recruit, the return veteran, and to
the old soldier still in the field.
The offers of the United States are alike to

500, instead of $500, if they select regi-

Port Hudson.


From a gentleman fully conversant with af.
lars at Port Hudson and in the Department Of
the Cult who arrived here last night from
New Orleans, we learn some interesting facts
OF the situation of Gen. Banks army and its
prospects. Our informant left Port Hudson
late in the evening OF Sunday, the 3lst uitimo.
There had been no fighting of consequence
since the assault OF the '27th, but Gen Banks
had been indastriously and rapidly contracting
his lines, and approaching the Rebel works.
The wings OF our army rested on or very near
the river. both atsye and below, and there was
no possibility of endorsements reaching the
beleagured garrison. Gen. Banks had made
up his mind to take the place, and he had the
men and means to do it, The contest on the
9th was very desperate and very bloody, the
Rebels fighting with the most reckless courage
ana our men being not whit behind in daring
and pluck.
Our informant corroborates the good ac
counts heretofore given of the conduct of the
colored soldiers These sable warriors nro-
voked the most frenzied hatred on the other
side, and the rebels bent all their energies to
their annihilation. And since the fight they
nave missed no chance to kill negro pickets
In one instance they pounced upon single
black sentry, captured and forthwith hung
him. The bloody instruction was quickly i'm
proved, for almost within the hour some ne
groes got hold OF rebel picket and swung him
up In full sight OF their murdered companion.
All the stories about Kirby Smith coming to
the relief of Port Hudson are probably erro.
neous. Smith is no doubt in Texas some where,
OF possibly In western Louisiana: certainly
nowhere near Port Hudson, nor could he get
across if he were opposite.
Colonel Grierson is ssslashing round" as the
HOosiers say, and was at last accounts IN be.

railroads, destroying bridges, hunting for Con.

orally. 1t was understood that Joe Johnston
was at jackson on the 27th, but had no force
worth bringing asaii,st Grant We regret to
learn that General Shc man, wounded at Port
Hudson, is hardly expected to live The
weather is terribly hot. and the place very dry
and dusty.

FROM GEN. R0sEcRANS. ARMY,


An;ofHcial dispatch received here yesterday
from MAYOR Ger. Roseerans, dated Murfrees-
tcro. June ., says: 49,.
Lasteventng q dispatch from Col J. D. Baird,
commanding post. at Fraaklin, Tenn, was
recefxed, as follows: . &
1--WE men cams into camp about dark
dressed in onr uniforms, with orse eauipm en;s
TO corsee pond. sayirg that they We're Col. Anton,
inspector general, and Mai. Dunlap, assistant
having an order from Adjutant Gen. Townsend
and your order to inspect outpos;s, but their
conduct was SO singular that we arrested them,
and they insisted that it was very important
that they should 90 to Nashville tonight"
Col Baird asked if there were aav such per-
sons in the army, and If so, their description.
l replied at once that they wereprobabiy spies,
and directed him TO order q court-martial. and
1t they proved to be spies, to execute them i'm
mediately, which was done. They were tried,
condemned to be hung, and the sentence was
carried into execution before ten o'clock this
morning.
On being discovered, they confessed that they
were officers in the Confederate army. One
was a Colonel, named Lawrence w. Orton,
formerly W. Orton Williams. One claims to
be first cousin OF Robert E. Lee, and is said
to have been chief Of artillery on Gen. Bragg's
staff, and formerly to have been on Gen. SCOTS
staff, of the I'd Regular Cavalry.

the force with Pegram, new said to be at Mon.
