FROM POIvr
-. Nru VopR-L

The Tribune says:
From gentleman fully conversant with
affairs at Port Hudson, and in the Depart
ment of the Gulf, who arrived here last
night from New Orleans, we learn some
interesting facts of the situation Of Banks
army and its prospects. ...-...
Our informant left Port Hudson late on
the evening Of Sunday, the 81st ult. There
the assault of the 27th but General Banks
had been industriously and rapidly con-
tracing his lines, aud approaching the
rebel works. The wings Of our army rest
ed on or very near the river, both above
and below, and there was no possibility Of
reinforcements reaching the beleaguered
garrison. Banks had made up his mind to
take he'plaee, and had men and means to
do it.
The contest of the 9th was very desper-
ate and very bloody, the rebels fighting
with most reckless courage, and our men
being not whit behind in daring and
pluck.
Our informant corroborates the good
accounts heretofore given Of the conduct
of colored soldiers. These sable warriors
provoked a most frenzied hatred on the
other side, and the rebels bent all their
energies to their annihilatiOn, and since
the fight they have missed no chance to
kill negro pickets.
In one instance they pounced upon
single black sentry, captured and forth
with hung him. The bloody instruction
quickly improved, for almost within an
hour some negroes got hold of a rebel
picket and swung him up in full sight of
their murdered companion.
The stories about Kirby Smith coming to
the relief of Port Hudson is probably er-
roneous.
Smith is no doubt in Texas somewhere,
or possibly in Western Louisiana. He is
certainly nowhere near Port Hudson, nor
could he get across if he we're opposite.
Colonel Griersonis slashing around, and
was, at last accounts, up between Port
Hudson and Vicksburg, tearing up rail
roads destroying bridges, hunting for
Confederate stores, and canvsssing the
pLat5 generally.
It is understood that Joe Johnston was
at Jackson on the oath, but had no force
worth bringing against Grant.
We regret to learn that General Sher-
man, who was wounded at Port Hudson,
is hardly expected to live.
The weather is terribly hot, and the
place is very dry and dusty.

man stationed on the hills. On this sid,
the skirmishers held the line of Deep Rur
and Bowling Green road, while the enemy
are In plain sight about one-fourth of :
mile further on. A number of large bod.
les Of their troops are in sight. About one
mile directly in front Of our position. and
on the crest Of hill, is battery in siebt.
but this is all we can see. There is abun,
dant evidence, however, that the enemy il
closely watching our movements, evidently
hoping we may continue our advance and
meet hm on his chosen ground. I can
say that depends altogether on circum-
stances.
Our troops lay on their arms in the omen
PLAIN covered by several batteries Of those
heTce brass NapOleOns. They are in ex-
eellent spirits.
A large detail OF men was TODAY en-
gagged in destroying she enemy's rife pits
on the bank of the river near where We
crossed. bitches are being filed up. and
banks leveled of, thus restoring the 1ronnJ
to Its former level surface, and depriving
the enemy of the immediate use of MS
lefense, and facilitating the passage of our
troops over the ground. -

Condition Of Rosecrap,, Armv.


The editor of the Louisville Journal has
recently visited the Army of the Cumber-
land, and says that the numerous -onoarnP
ments are the neatest the handsomest the
healthiest and the ncst comfortable ever
seen in this or any country, and the troops
exhibit discipline that would have done
honor to the veterans of Napoleon or We'll
lington. The soldiers are evidently burn
ing with noble and enthusi site desire to
meet the enemy and put an end to the war
by one grand and crushing blow, but they
have learned to repress all expressions and
feelings Of discomfort, satisfied that their
action is under the control Of brave and
patriotic men who are entitled in all things
10 their utmost confidence.

1.-TWO PICTURES; or, What we Think Of
ourselves, and What the World Thinks of
U.s." By NJ. ]. Mcintosh, author of " TWo
Lives" ," I" Charms and Counter Charms" &C.,
&c. To our lady readers the author is an
old one. She has written much in the senti-
mental moral style, and has become very IA
vOrably known thereby. The present novel
would interest any one, and would pay for
the perusaI. We have many good authors in
our American field nowadays not
SO many positive ones, such as make strong
deep mark on the public mind, but that we
cannot expect of every book, or of even every
other book that we read. Let US, therefore,
give credit for anything good that we see,
and do justice to the ninety who are
not Thackerays or TrOllopes, while we may
rss0rva -nnr special affections for the one who
is a star Of the first magnitude.
