PORT HUDSON is a small village on the East Bank OF
the Mississippi fifteen miles above Baton Rouge. 1t is
strong against an attack whether from the land or from
the river. The Gazetteer puts it at twenty-five miles
above Baton Rouge. Population about three hundred.
1t is the terminus OF railroad. 1t is two hundred
miles from Vicksburg and the two points being in our
possession prevent the enemy having the use of that
length of the river while at the time opportu-
nifty is afforded the Coniederacy for keeping up the COM
unication between its States East of the Mississippi
and the States West Of that river.

Soldiers of the A,my of Tennessee:
our gallant deeds have won the admiration OF your
General your Government and your country. For my
SELF thank YOU ard am proud of You-for them ten
der you the gratitude and praise you have so noby
won.
In campaign of less than one month, in the face of
winter your achievements have been unparalleled. You
have captured than ten thousand prisoners taken
preserved thirty pieces of artillery and thou
sand small arms in addition to many thousand destroy
ed You have besides captured eight hundred wagons,
chiefly with supplies, which have been destroyed or
brought safely to your lines and in pitched battles you
have driven the enemy before you, infctipg loss at
least thr to greater than you have sustained
In retiring to stronger position without molesta-
ton from superior force you have left him barren
field in which to bury his hosts of slain and to rally and
recuperate bis shattered ranks Cut of from his Gov
eminent both by rail and telegraph and deprived of
supplies by the Interruption of his communications we
shall yet teach him lesson for the rashness of
penetrating country hostile to bis cause Whilst
the infantry and artillery defy him in front, our irwin
chile cavalry will assa him in flank and rear until
goad him to another advance only to meet another sig
nal defeat.
Your General depores, In common with you the loss
of your gallant comrades who have fallen in our recent
conflicts. Let their memories be- enshrlned 10 your
hearts, as they will be tenlery cherlshed oy their
countrymen Let be yours to avenge their fate and
urondiy ~ emnote tbe;, deeds. Remember that YOUR
face is to the foe and that you rests the defence of
all that is dear to freemen
Soldiers the proudtst rejection Of your Generals
life is to be known as the commander OF an army 20
brave and invincible you have proven He asks no
HIGHER boon than to lead such men to victory To share
their trials and to stand or fall with them will be the
crown of his ambition.

THE RUSSIAN REPLIEs.-The Paris cor
respondent Of the London Times writes a.
follows, under date Of September geo:
The French papers are rather sore on the
subject Of the Russian reply. and their only
consolation seems to be that the rebuff has
been received in good company. The au-
swer to England, they point out, is almost
identical with that addressed to France. The
Government press is reserved upon the top
ic; that Of the opposition grumbles and al
most storms. "Russias' answer to France
is but fresh insult" says the Opi.ioS Nd'
sionalc. 1T scents like dream when one
reads such defiance thrown in the teeth Of
the Government which made war In the
Crimea and in italy" The coincidence Of the
replies with the Cars letters to General
Mouravieif and Annenkoff il, of course, made
the most of. and, indeed. it would have been
wise Of Russia to have avoided it. The
France, which. throughout the whole discus
sion has been mo1srats and conciliatory. de-.
clares, that "the Russian reply to tbe West
ern Powers is conceived in terms which rem
der any present attempt at Cancellation im-
possible" W ~s"., lar. 80 ..Tlf ..r

BY John q. SAKE.

Old TINE and young LOVE-, ON morning in May,
Glanced to meet by . river in halcy0n weather
Aud agreeing, for once, (tis fable you'll say)
In the same little boat took . voyage together rs
Strong, steady and patient, Time pulled At his oar,
But LovB--who was thinking Of Pleasure on shore
Complained that his boatman was wretchedly slow.
But TINE, the old sailor. expeA At his trade,
And knowing the leagues that remained TO be done,
Content with the regular speed thit he made,
Tussed away At his oar and kept steadily on.
Love, always impatient Of doubt or delay,
Now sighed for the aid Of the favoring gales,
And scOlded at Tine in the sauciest way,
For not having furnished the shallOp with sails.
But TINE, as serene as q calender saint,
(Whatever the greybeard was thinking upon)
All deaf to the voice Of the yonker's complaint,
Tugged away At his car and kept steadily on.
Love vexed at the heart, only clamorcd the more,
And cried, "By the gods In what country or cline
Was ever u lubbcr who handled an oar, -.
In so laxy fashion as old Father TINE"
But TINE only smiled in a CYNICAL way,
('Tis often the mode with your elderly Don)
As one who know more than he cares to Displays
And still at his oar pulled steadily on.
Grown calmor, at last the exuberant boy
Enlivens the minutes with snatches Of rhyme;
Ihe voyage, AZ length, ne 0eYins TO ENJOY,
And soon has forgotten the presence Of TINE!
But TINE, the severe, egotistical elf
Since the day that his travels he entered upon,
Has ne'cr for moment forgotten himself,
But tugs at his oar and keeps steadily ON.
Awaking once more, LOVE sees with sigh
That the River Of Life will be presently passed,
And now he breaks forth with piteous cry,
20 TINE, gentle Time! you arc rowing too FAST"
But TINE, well.knowing that LOVE will be dead,
Dead-dcad in the boat ERE the voyage is done,
Only, gives him an ominous shake Of the head,
While he tugs ut his oar and keeps steadily on!
