should know something of the capacity of the
hero(?) of Port Hudson. Hence ! have writ
ten the above. We all hope he will yet have
some measure of success up Red River, where
he was few days since so ANONYMOUSLY
drubbed, but we fear he will be obliged to
back down the river, and trust he win be
able TO bring the balance of the army Off in
safety, and shat General GraIls will =" move
on his works" and relieve him from command.
Nmhly, Is saith the preacher, Last but
least" One word for the copperheads. Among
all classes of people here, loyal or secesh, in
the army and navy, or in civil life, they are
'cursed above all CATTLE" despised and spit
upon. These southern marshes praduce. no
horrid reptile so insidious, or venomous and
so dreaded. We had specimen from Wis
eonsin here not long ago, in the shape OF
former copperhead orator from the northern
part of the State. He met an old live slave
holding secesh gentleman here, to whom he
supposed he could utter his favorite senti-
ments in safety, but in offering his budget of
treason was promptly rebuked and "scotch-
ed +" by his more honorable rebel friend. In
fact had flea put in his ear. The last heard
from him he had taken the yellow fever"
in the shape of quadroon girl, and started
for Cuba, proving thereby that "snaix may
:. miscegenate as well as niggers. Bully for
the snaiX."

communication unless | take notion to.

GREAT FIRE AT WILMINGToN.-The Rich

mington has fallen heavily on the blockade
operators. Indeed it may be considered TO
have put an effectual stop to running the block.

curing transportation for cotton will prevent:
for several months the accumulation of suf

is estimated at from s3,ooo,o 900 to So, 100000
