Strong lines Of entrenchmenls
have been thrown up, encircling the

The remaining earthworks in the
vicinity of the city are intended more
particularly to repulse Il landing Of
land attack, which could be made at
Portcrville from the Mississippi
Sound, marching thence up the road
to Spring Hill. The entrenchments
are about fifteen miles in length, and
We're built some time ago.

made solid by means of piles and
earth, and on this has been erected

made. Few Of us had any clothes

the dinners served out to us there.
They consisted. generally. Of . csAP
kettle full of rice, another Of Gus
boiled down to half soup consistency
and another filled with pieces If

so dirty and uninviting. that hunger
itself would have paused before eat

eral times to the officer Of the guard
for cups, spoons ard plates. Offering
either to buy the articles If furnished
or pay for their temporary use. Hut
no negotiations could secure them.
In truth even if we had possessed
them, it would have been too repug-
nant to our feelings to join in the
crowd of blacks who elbowed one
another to get to the provisions All
our meals while at Port Hudson we
bought ourselves from the sntler,
who was able to Fl rAish us sardines,
cheese and crackers, on which w
Jared a. sumptuously as the surrouod-
ing circumstances would permit.
About four o'clock in the evening
every other day, Il barrel Of bread.
badly baked in the government ovens
would be wheeled into our yard, as
we called it, and distributed in the
same manner as the other provisions.
This bread. one half loaf for each
person, had to last two day 8, and was
occasionally varied with hard pilot
bread, which was certainly the best
test Of good teeth ever saw.
The summons to leave for New
Orleans was greeted with Joy by the
cotton spectators. and only regretted
by us Confcderates. as breaking up
our plan to escape. Many wer. the
good wishes spoken by our Yankee
comrades, as we fell in ranks, to
march off, while all Of US shook hands

up the river, and then down the bluff
