Int.r.stIng from Port Hudson.

NEW YoRK, June 2S.-we are obliged TO the
Herdld for adviCes from Port Hudson to the
2Oth instant. ..........-r. ... -..
Gen. Banks on the 18th issued a congrOtula-
tory order 20 his troops on their steady advance
upon the enemy's works, stating that he is con-
ndeht OF an immediate and triumphant Issue
Of the conflict. We arc, at all points, upon the
threshold Of his fortilcations. One more adj
vance, and they are ours. He then summons
m organization OF a storming column OF 900
men to vindlcate the flag of the Union and the
memory OF Its defenders who have fallen, prom
islng promotion to the officers, and medals to
the officers and privates.
A letter Of the goth reports no material change
in the position OF affairs. The camp rumors
about assaults by volunteers and Of general at
tacks have proved unfounded. Wearo steadily
advancing on the first parallel, which complete
y cnclrcles the outer rebel breastworlss, and
our skirmishers are behind riae-l'its within
twenty yards Of the rebel intrenchments. There
are nightly sklrmishes without any dehnlte re-
suit. ......, .... ..r.....
Deserters report that consultation Of rebel
officers was held, who unHnimously requested
Gen. Gardner to surrender, He replied that
large reinfOrcements would arrive within
week, and II they would only hold out few
days longer the siege would result favorably to
them.
The disaffected officers returned to their
surrender in a week they would compel him 10
do so. Another deserter reports that the rebels
have but forty head Of cattle left to feed on.
II is reported that quite a number OF women
in Port Hudson were accidentally killed in the
hght Of the IAN. ....... .r.. ...g-..
Battery No. z, which is 10 be mounted with
twelve thirty-two Founders, has been erected,
commanding the entire line Of the enemy's
river works. . ......
Ono heavy shot from the enemy had pierced
the helvy plating OF the Essex. The. gun
which effected this was dismounted by Battery
No. z.
The Citadel on which it Was mounted, II was
expected would soon be reduced. 1t was Tu-
mOrrd and gensEally believed that the assault
to take place on the night of the Goth was to
be led by Gen. GrieTson and Col. Van Patten
Of the One hundred and Sixteenth Nsw York.
The assaulting party will be supported by Gen.
wietzel's old brigade and that of Col Dudley.
A rebel bearer OF dispatches has been captured
with, II is said, dispatches from Johnston, who
promises 70 Tyinforce PoH Hudson and capture
Banks's entire army, II the place hold out till
the following Tuesday. This may be ruse,
however, TO induce Banks 10 make an immedl-
ate assault, that' he may be repulsed or deter
mine his ability to carry the place, and not
await the slow process or starvation which
stares the rebels in the face, r. .-H. ,.-

nsPSlNKING OF TaE STEAMER PR1MA


nBSlsKING OF TIE STEAMER PR1MA
DoSxA-No LIVES Losr-GREAT DEsTRuc.
7rOs OF FLouR.-Early on Saturday morn
ing, between four and Ave o'clock, the fne
steamer Prtma Donna, Captain Scott, ran
upon sunken coal boat, at the head of
Captiua Island, below this city, and sunk
in about fifteen feet water. Mr.. Gus. Cor.
lie, the pilot, notwithstanding the dark
ness, fancied he could discern by the ap.
psarance of the water that there was an
obstruction at the point named bnt the
boat was going OF the rate Of about seven
miles an. hour, and the discovery was
made too late for the boat to be headed of.
When she struck she stopped dead still
and was instantly headed for shore; but
she sunk in about three minutes. The
shock aroused most of the passengers,
about forty in number, and among them
about a dozen women and children
There was not the slightest panic. Aplank
was run out and all were safely conducted
ashore. The fremep were slightly alarmed
and ran away from the boilers, but the
engineer opened the FIRE doors and set her
to blowing of. The yawl was sent around
to pick up any persons who might drop off
in the darkness, and every preCaution was
taken to save life. The unfortunate acci-
dent was taken with great GOODNESS by the
officers, upon whom much credit is reflect
ed. The crew and passengers went to
work and built rousing fire upon the
shore, around which all hands, huddled.
until seven O'Clock In the morning, when
the steamer Nevada came along, picked
the passengers up, and brought them to-
this city. The Prima Donna had on board
o cargo for the Baltimore aud Ohio rail-
road, including twelve hundred barrels of
-four, consigned to Parkersburg, but the
agent at that point being crowded with
freight, sent the boat up to this city. As
this was done at the risk of the road, the
company will have TO bear great proper
ton of the loss. The Prima Donna was
valued at $50, 900, and was only. partially
insured. 1t was pretty generally known
along the river between here and Parkers-
burg that fat boat had SINK in the chan
mel at captiua, but by some unfortunate
neglect the officers of the Prima Donna
were not informed of the fact. It is
thought that the boat can be raised and
repaired. &i
