We have Port Hudson dates to the

tirely invested the position, resting bis two
wings on the river above and below the
Folt.
Our gunboats were bombarding the for
lifcations from the river, and Gen. Banks
was laundering with his artillery in The
rear. The rebel garrison is said TO be / s,
600 stro' 6, and was enti,ely hemmed ii
with no chance Of escape. Gen. Banks ha;
built two lines Of decentralization to pro
tect bis rear, and was in excellent spirits
and hopeful of entire success.
On the 9th, after a furious canonade,
the rebels offered to surrender It they
could be allowed 10 march out with the
honors Of war.
Gen. Banks desired unconditional sur
render. Subsequently he sent a flag OF
truce rerewing bis demand, while the enc

GEN. Burn.ide's New Order-ne Dennes MS
Policy.

Cincinnati, June 3.
Gen. Burnside has issued General Order
No. 90 to-day, which is pretty lengthy.
1t directs that Gen. McLean, Provost Mar
shall General, shall at once institute an IN
vestgat.6n into the case Of all citizens now
confined in this department, and in all such
cases as do not clearly show premedltased
disIoyalty on the pat Of the accused, Or
when a desire is manifested 10 atone for
past faults by future good conduct, the
prisoners will be released on taking the
oath Of allegiance and giving bonds for a
strict Observance hereof.
The General Commanding is convinced
that a large majority Of the men arrested
have been n1isIed hy dishonest and design
ing politicians. and he prefers TO strike at
the source Of the e0a. and allow those who
have been led astray to retura to their 10y
atty and allegiance, if they have seen the
folly and sin Of opposing the Government.
The order then speaks of ts4 duty Of
every man in this crisis. where the Govern
ment is striving to suppress the rebellion,
and says the necessity demand a sacrifice
from every one.
The General argues that in yielding up
civil rights to save this country, the party
so doing is none the less citizen. The
country requires no physical sacrifice, no
personal hardships, bat simply that he
shall initiate The example Of the soldiers
in the field, so far rs TO abate somawbat OF
that freedom Of speech which they give up
entirely that freedom Of discussion and
criticism achieh IS proper ipthe politician
and the Journalist IN time Of peace
becomes rank treason aghea IL tends 10
peaken The confidence Of the soldier ia
his officers and his gogenmeat. And
when this insidious treason, striking at the
very root Of that Military Power which is
for the time beirg, the country's protection,
makes its appearance, it is the bounden du-
4 " Of the Commanding General TO expel il
from his lines, with heavier hand than
lie would drive from his camp the william
who would scatter material poison, that
would eneryale and decimate his soldiers
The General Commanding desires to again
call the attention eff all officers, Provost
Marshals and others IN authority, to the
necessity Of great care in the making o.
arrests, which should, in all instances. be
founded on full aflidayits sustaining distinct
charges except when the exigences OF the
case demand instant action.

10 the Editor ofthe Neao York Herald:
Sal happened to be IN the vicinity
of the peace meeting on Monday evening,
and listened for few minutes t. the pro-
ceedipgs at Stand No. 2. During the prog
gess Of the meeting an old gentleman was
introduced, whose name | did not learn.
His speech was short, and too good to be
kept from the people. | give it to you
word for wor,', for it was short and point
ed. He commenced:
"Fellow democrats: | am not John
Brown-I am hot Horace Greeley aim
not Wendell Phillips am not Benne't q
The HERALD am not Abraham Lincoln
- am 4 demccrat--.a Iife-long democrat.
| never voted for any one but democrat.
Abraham Lincoln did not commence this
Kisses mixed with applause.) South
Carolina commenced the war by attacking
Fort Sumpter ("Put him down.")
Amid great confusion the old man rails
cd bis voice and continued, 81 came here
to night through an invitation OF posters all
over the city as friend Of free speech"
(.Away with him p and in rough man
ner the old man was dragged from the
rostrum.)
If that was not a traitors meeting
around that stand, | would like to know
what one is !?

RB Speaking oflhe precise time when the
war ceased to be conducted "solely to put
down The reJelli D." the Madison Patriot
says "that it happened somewhere in the
interim Of three days prior . issuing the
Emancipation Proclamation" This fixes
the date about the Goth Of September last.
Up to that time the Patriot says the dem.
ocratic party was unit for the war. Net,
on the Sd Of that month appeared the Ry-
an address denouncing the Administration
and denouncing the war as "an abolition
war "waged for the niger and mot for
the union" In Congress every democratic
member belonging to The copperhead per-
suasion voted from the first against all war
measures, whether for raising iDen or mon
ey to carry on the war. The naked truth
is, the democratic party never has been a
unit for the war; large numbers fthe mas
sos Of tbft party have supported the war
from the first, but Of the leaders about all
think more Of 'the Niger as be was than
for the constitution and country. The
Madison Patriot wilfuIly falsifes its party
and panders to the slaveocracy justas much
snce the war as it did before.

process he has found to succeed for this
purpose. He states that sulpbate Of cop
per affords no protection whatever against
the action Of the salt water and marine in
sects. The Belgian Government now re-
Guirs that all the wood sleepers used in
the State railways should be crecsoted
