Qoncentration of Treom fir the Attack Upon Part Hud- gwn— Prospect of a Speedy Reduction of that Stronghota— Fighting Gotng on Yesterday—Present Condition of the nent has becn concentrated near Baton Rouge, in order to assist in the grand attack apon Pert Hudson. ‘The main body of the army is to-day doubtless between Bayou Sara and the enemy’s works, while the divisions of Gene- rals Augur and Sherman are operating to the south aud east of the great rebel stronghold. I have no doubt in my Own mind that before this letter is laid before the Henaw’s readers Fort Hudson will be occupied by oar forces. Ourattack will be admirably arranged, and the force brought to bear will be fullf adequate to make it in all respects successful. “The generals commanding are all experienced men and soldiers, and they will so push mit- ters that defeat will be impossible. As you may suppose, we areall anxious to hear the result, and other matters are for a time forgotten. Thave just learned that General Augur's division was engaged with the exemy yesterday on the plains, about four miles from the outer works of Port Hudson, and that after a fight of nino hours duration the latter were driven within their intrenchments, having suffered a severe do- feat, and a loss of many killed, wounded ana prisouers. Our forces occupied the ground last night, and have re- Bewed the attack this morning. Our troops are said to have behaved splendiily. Goneral Sherman has moved his division, by means of transports, about fourteen miles up the river, in order to operate directly against the right flank of the enemy. With a soldier like Shorman ‘we may feel the utmost security in regard to the result of his operations, and rest assured that the rebel Gene,al Gardner will have to do his best in order to prevent that Part of bis position from being turned. These attacks are merely a comincacement of the grand affair that is to come off to-morrow or Monday. Genera! Banks, with the main body, is yet to be heard from, and, from whit! can learn of his movements, | deem it an utter imporsi- bility for any of tho enemy’s forces to escape capture or Gestruction. That their heavy guns will be taken is al- most a certainty. Our reported loss in the affair is f’teen killed and about sixty wounded.
