THE YAZ0O PASS EXPEDITION. i The Rebel Works—The Attack upon Fort | Pemberton, i} The correspondent of the New York Herald fives Gn interesting account of the progress of | the Yazoo Pass expedition and the attack upon | Fort Pemberton. | Cuxtis’ Plantation, (Ten Miles above | Greenwood,) March 11.—We arrived at tais | point about nine o'clock this morning. Here we are ten miles above Greenwood aud but two | anda half miles from the Rebel works. Just below our position the river turns to the east- i ward, and after describing a wide horseshoe | bend again resumes its southerly course ata | pore nearly south of this. The neck formed | this bend or rather the *ase of the penin- | sula, is something less than a mile across. Directly in this neck the Rebels have thrown | up their fortifications. Tnese are not so formi- dable in themselves us mizht be supposed. They consist of a single line of breastworks composed | ot cotton bales and earth, facing westerly, and | flanked on the righthy quite a heavy battery | fronting the river and mounting three siege i ins. Besides these they seem to haye seyeral | Small field pieces in position. Directly on the | right flank of this line of defense they have | constructed araft cflogs asa blockade of the river to prevent our boats trom running by their batteries. The ground upon which thes» works are buiitis as high as any to be found in this re- gion. It is probable elevated above any possi- bie overflow ; but with the river as high as it is at present it is but two or three feet above the water level. Directly ig front of their line of breastworks there is quite a deep slough, extending across the neck, and admirably serving the purpose of the ditch usually dug around fortifications. This slough is close to the base of their werks at the upper end, tut gradsally recedes from them until at the lower end it is several hun- dred feet removed. Still beyond this slough there is an almostimpenetrabie and very exten- sive canebrake, with a deep forest reaching far back into the country. About six miles below this fortification, and directly in the are of the bend, is the confluence of the Yallasusha and | Tallahatchie rivers, and from that point down to the Mississippi the joint stream takes the | name of the Yazooriver. The litde village or settlement of Le Flor lies directly atthe janc- tion cf the two streams. Greenwood lies upon the Yazoo, four miles below. Working parties of soldiers, detailed from the 33d Missouri and some other regiments of Gen- eral Fisk’s brigade, were at work ali last nigat throwing up a battery facing the enemy’ posi- tion. The location of this battery is within a quarter of a mile of the Rebel fortificrtions, and stands just within the edge of the timber | on the west of Clayton's slongh, haying a per- | fect range directly up the neck on which the | enemy stand, and sweeping their entire line. It | is built of two tiers of cotton bales, covered on the outside with earth. A single thirty-pound Parrot rifle, taken from the gunboat Rattler, Was mounted in this work, anda temporary magazine well stocked with ammunition, so that at daylicht this morning the battery was in complete readiness tor work.

This tire quickly drew the Rebel fire from the land bat- tery, which was left to the tender mercies of half 2 dozen small pieces pl the Rebel fortifications. | Allow me here to digress to say that from the most reliable information yet received at headquarters of this expedition, the enemy’ fort mounts but fite guns of any pre sions, These are a rifled sixty-four pounder, (an old thirty-two pounder aliered:) one thirty pounder Parott, (said to fh and three twenty-four pound Dahlgren sides these, however, they pro’ full field bat which is used when and how it may be most convenient. These guns are mounied behind ap tiers of cotton b with eight feet of wall is nosmall matter. We have tried to-day most desperately to re- Guce this fortification. We bstve brought out heaviest artillery to bear upon it at a close range, and have kept it at play ss long asit Was possible todo so: still we have made but aslight impression. To be sure we compelled | them to stop firing. We poured such an inces- | santand deadly fire into the embrasures im | which their guns are located that their gunners could not stand it: b tthe tort Kolds out. | We fired the last shot: indeed, we fired tor | three hours after the enemy had ceased. Yet no one supposes they have given up the con- test. They are plucky, and will tight to the last. Some ot our officers fancy we have dis- abled some of their guns; but there is no evi- dence of this further than their silence. My | Own opinion is that their silence is a deep game. They discovered defects in the location | of their guns, and wish to remedy them The Chillicothe was under fire to-day a little over an hour anda half. not with- drawn until long after theenemy ceased firing, and then only because her store of ammunition was about expended, requiring a replenish- ment of her magazne. The rebels singled her outas their principal target, and they peppered | her well. She was siruck to-day thirty-four | times. Herstorm roof and wheel-house were | riddled and badly cutup. Her launch was all steve to pieces. Her ensign was four times shot through, and her pennant was shot away. Her massive iron plating was indented all over her front where balls had struck her. Yet she | withstood the terrible ordeal, and is to-night as good tor a fight as she was this morning. The Baron DeKalb was the unlucky vessel to-day, and considering the length of time she was engaged, she got off very lizhtly. After the Chillicothe withdrew the DeKalb was ordered to remain and continue firing until dark. She did so, firing once every twenty minutes, but getting no response after the main engagement closed. She received about a dozen shots during the action, at least three of which were very severe blows. We shall give the Rebels another trial to-mor- row, when [hope to beable to report more satisfactory results. I have already said the position is a formidable one. It i8 more than that, it isan unapproachable one. We can’t getatthem. If we could we should have been able half a dozen times to-day to drive them out by storm. Butinfantry can do nothing in the water, and this fortification is completely sur- | rounded by water. The Rebels call their position Fort Green- wood. Isuppose, therefore, that history will record this as the battle of Fort Greenwood. eed in pesition on the outside To penetrate such a FROM FORTRESS MONROE. Affairs in the Rebel States.
