Port IIudSon.

Port Hudson is about twentv.fye
miles above Baton Rouge, on tho east
side of the Mississippi River. 1t isa
point where a bend forms almost a right
angle, thus completely commanding tho
river both ways. Ga the north, for A
distance of eight miles, il is protected
by an impossible swamp, which is
bounded on the side nearest Port Hud-
son, by Thompson's Cree, k. the either
bank of which is a precipitous blutr,
crowned by an intrenched q abAtlis. This
abatlis extends from the river eastward,
till 1t joins a series Of intrenchmenta.
nine or tea miles in extent sweeping TO
the south in n semi circle ull they rest
upon the river on the crest of range of
hills. The country in the rear is rolling.
and possesses many natural advantages
in favor of the enemy. Between Baton
Rouge and Port Hudson 10 a long stretch
OF territory difficult of access at all
times, being covered by dense woods and
underground, and abouuding in bayous
and marshes. The place both by nature
and art, is unquestionably one of great
strength. The Southern people in the
vicinity call it their Gibraltar, and pro-
less to believe il TO be impregnable.
The water defenses Of Port Hudson
are said TO consist of eight batteries
numbering between twenty and thirty
guns. One of these batteries is stationed
on bluff eighty feet high. Another is
planted just below the mouth of Thomp-
sons Creek. The most Of the guns are
2Ps, 32's and 42's, but there are one or
two l2O-pounders. The land deGenses
were chiefly built after the advance of
the Federal forces TO Baton Rouge Thev
mount in all some some thirty or forty
guns, some Of them of heavy caliber.
and in addition TO these there are at
least four field batteries which can be
readily moved to any part of the works.
The position seems TO be entirely inclos-
ed in series of Notifications of the
most elaborate and formidable character
but whether there are any interior
lines remains TO be revealed The prob
ability, however, is that the rebels would
scarcely rely on a single line, and that
the exterior intrenchments include sew
eral others, as was found to be the case
at Nicksburg. Indeed, the general plan
OF the defenses at Port Hudson appears
to be the same as at the point last men
toned, the only deviations being such
as required by the variations in the sur
face of the country.
Port Hudson District is commanded
by the able Maj Gen. Franklin Gardner,
a veteran soldier and an able officer, who
was assigned to duty there on the 9th
of December last.
The post of the troops were until re-

lhe Earthquake at Rhodes and It's
Fatal Results.


A correspondent Of the Paris Temps
gives the following particulars of the
earthquake at Rhodes, already reported
"On the 22d of April we felt the shock
of an earthquake such as had never been
felt here before. Not single building
in Rhodes or in the villages has escaped
uninjured. The great tower of st. Michael

the Grand Masters, recently converted
into a prison. The walls of the town
are more or less damaged, besides all the
churches. AT TriRnda only a dozen
houses are left standing Twelve otner
villages have been completely DESTROYED.

persons killed, and an immense number
wounded Ot the villages, Massari has

PkOGRESS OF " RADICALIsM'' IN
NIESSOURE,
From the st. Louis romocrat.



True Words for Once.
"Things are fast righting themselves
in this State. The counsels of cool, dis
passionate, patriotic men are beginning
TO be heard, and those who have sought
to prolong this civil war; and to intro
duce a kind Of strife from the effect of
which no man is safe, but from which
they hope for profit in some shape, may
as well stand from under."
So says the Missouri Republican. We
agree with it precisely. "Things" are
indeed, "righting themselves in this
State" and that very rapidly. Look for
the proof to the election of Drake by
three thousand majority in st. Louis, of
Walker in the extreme southwest, of
Lindenbower in the Springfield district,
of McLane in the Cape Girardeau dis
trict, of Clark in the Dade county dis
trict-all immediate Emancipationists
and thorough radicals, where little over
two years ago secessionists were chosen
and to the vote of Charlton county, the
home of Sterling Price, giving Winslow,
a radical man, majority over all com
petitors. These are unmistakable evil
dences that a great political revolution
is going on in this State, and that the
right side is rapidly coming uppermost.
The people are taking matters into their
own hands, and the old conservative poll
ticians who have so long led them in
darkness, are one by one being consigned
to the shades.
A large stakeholder in Platte county
thus writes to the editor Of the Weston
Sentinel. He says:
"PLATTE COUNTY, May 4, 1868.
"Dcar Sir approve the course of your
paper We must have emancipation, in
some shape, before we can have peace in
Missouri. l am willing to sell my ne
groes at once to the Government, or to
fall in with gradual emancipation. We
have labored long to promote the public
interests and prosperity of our our coun-
try; but it is lost labor, while the tive
elements, Border Ruflianism and Seces-
sionism, remain to destroy the country !;
and these cannot be put down while
slavery has a permanent footing. By its
gradual extinction we shall take position
with the great States of Ohio and llli-
nois in the race OF progress, whose COM
mon interests, allied with ours, and in
unity with all the great States of the VAL
ley of the Mississippi, will insure per-
petual peace and prosperity"
A STAKEHOLDER in St. Joseph county, Mo-,
recently advertised his last "nigger,' a
mulatto girl, who fled to Kansas. He Of
fered zone cent reward, and no thanks" "
but be thanked God, who had heard his
prayer, and had taken all his chattels to
free soil.
Now, matters are rapidly taking the
same course in Maryland, and we see not
few like signs in Kentucky. As to Ten
nessee, her destiny is not TO be doubted,
for a moment by any shrewd observer.
She is certain to be free State, and that
very soon. This being the case, what
sense is there in railing at the hundreds
of Shareholders of Davidson county, as a
"pack of Aboitionists," because they
have declared that this State ought to
take prompt measures for disencumbering
herself of a dying system?

One of the members Of the 15t Kansas
regiment, sergeant, died in the hospi-
tai at Lake Providence, La, some few
weeks ago. After death his comrades
discovered that their companion, by the
side of whom they had marched and
fought for almost two years, was a wo-
man. She was of rather more than ave-
rage size for a woman, with rather
strongly marked features, so that with
the aid of mans attire she had quite a
masculine look She was in the battle
of Springfield, where General Lyon was
killed, and fought in a dozen battles and
skirmishes, She always sustained an
eKcelle mt reputation, both as a man and
q soldier, was brave as a lion in battle,
and never flinched from any duty or
hardships that fell to her lot She must
have been very shrewd to have lived in
the regiment so long, and preserved her
secret so we'll.
