As laaticipated would be the case, the long expected attack upoa Port Hudson commenced yesterday, aud last bight and this morning it was continued, the advantage Deing with us, although it bas been one of, if not the Dloodiest battle, that has yet Deen fought on this conti. nent. As I have before stated, the position was closely invested some days since, our right resting on Thomp son’s bayou, and the left on Springfield’s landing. I was uncertain as to what course General Banks would pursve to reduce this stronghold. I hardly thought he would attempt to carry the immensely strong works by storm, seeing bow much life it would cost; but, knowing that his time was limited, he has determined upon that course, not caring to compel « surrender by starvation, or by the regular approaches of an engineer. Our itce of investment was as follows:—The extreme right was comm ndod by Gen. Weitzel, with his own and the division of Gen. Emory ; the right centre by Gen. Grover ; the let-centre by Gev. Augur, and the extremo loft by Gen. J. W. Sherman—our artillery brigade being under command of Gen. Arnold. The defeuces of Port Hudson on the land face consist of several tives of iu treechments and rife pits, wih an abbatie of heavy trees felled in every direction. It is ope of the strongest positions in the world, and to asswuit it in the face of the terribie fire of artillery snd musketry to whick an tacking force would be exposed, seemed about im possible, with any hope of success, It has been cum menced, hqwever, and carried on thus far with success, Dut with terrible slaughter, Woe are expecting moinon tarily to bear that it has fallen, for if it cont ten thouraud men, General Banks, and the gallant officers and mon of bis command, will never rest now that they hove com. menced, unti the Stars and Stripes wave over the strong bold of the rebels, Tho assault has been made with an parailed fary ; no men im the world ever fought with wore bravery of determination then our giorivus volun | teors, but the defenes bas been excellent, as the result of the firet day's Aghting will show. ‘The number and calibre of the guns in the rebel bat tories f.ciug the river is yet to be determined, acd aino | | | their force iweide Lhe works, but we bave good reason for saying to-day that they bave joant twelve Unowsand men. The artiliery force of our army te very large, and many of the guns aro of very beavy calibre, and, under the able direction of Geveral Arnold, they have done mest e‘erent rervice. AM of the Commanding General's plans having been per- fected, it wan determined to feel the evemy at once. Ac. cordingly the attack was ordered for yesterday morning. It was arranged with Admiral Farragut that the attack should be general, by land and water at the same time, and signals were cetabiiahed between the ariny and nivy im order to prevent the abot and shell from our ships be. ing thrown over the enemy and inte the lines of our at tack ing force. | Although our men haa endured the fatignes of dattie and hard marching in tne recent campaign “on the Teche, they forgot it all when they found themselves in front of Port Hadsen and knew it waa to be attacked. They were in high epirite aa the time drew nigh, aod became impa tient for the moment to arrive when the order ‘' forward” should be given. All thought of the uncertainty of bat. te neemed to have vanished; every one seemed to think be would prove a hero, and felt certain that promotion | would follow the battle of 10 morrow.

WITERL/® ATRACK OW THR ENEMY'D LAPT. ‘The plan appears to have been to carry the enemy's Positions on the right and left fret, and this work conse- quently deveived upon the divisions of Generals Weitzel and Shermam, It was not long alter the advance was sounded (hat our troops mot these of the enemy, and it 800m became evidons that every foot of ground we gained wae to bo fought for with determination. The fight soon commouved along the entiro live. On the right tho sharp rattle of muskotry and roar of artillery gave n0- tico that Weitzel was at work, and as it tn- Cronsed in intensity % becamo evidert that he was bay- ing no boy’s play; and he had not. Every inch was dis- pooted, the evemy fought with tbe ferocity of demons ; bat it was t De purpose, our boys drove them alowiy but steadily, using o.ubbed muskets and bayoacts when they could not load, It was soon app nt that whatever ele would be dono by the army, Weitzel was bound to win ; his column could not be caccked, although suffering great- ly; the enemy went duwn before them as grass before the seythe of the mower, aud, although tho work was to- di us and bivoay, no oue faltered, General Weitzel, keep ing bis mon well ia hand for tho last rush, put them ut the enemy's works oo the river side, and they went op with a will, making the air resound with their shouts. Horo the fight became murderous, it was hand to hand and breast to breast, the bayonet doing tho main part of the work. The rebels could not stand it, however, and were compolied to fall back. Our poople | preased them close, allowing no spaco to be created be- twoen the attacked and the attacker, and finally drove ‘them into and then out of the celebrated six gun batiory ‘that did such terrible execution upom the steamer Mis- siseippl the night abe was destroyed, Here was groat point gaiced—a point that wecoult use to advantage Against the other works of tho enemy. Aud it did not take long for the quick eyo of Weitzel to vce all this and profit by it. As soon as practicable the guns wore shifted and put to work, and were busy at last accounts in throwing sbot and sboll into and against the position of their late owners, This was docidedly tho most brilliant and successful part of the day’s work ; not that tho men fought any better, or showed more doter- mivation than those on other parts of the field, but it was the greatest point gained, and proved what could do when resolved to accomplish certain ends. Ry this opora- tion the enemy’s left was turned, and im a munner to pro- vent tho lost ground being recovered. The battery cap- | tured was the most annoying of any of the line, for it raked completely the channel way of the river, SURRMAN'S ATTACK UPON THI RNEMY’S RGHT, No more desperate fighting has ever taken pliaco than Of the division of General herman yesterday in the at- tack upon the right of the enemy's position, Our men faced the storm of Wron and lead that was hurled against thom as if it had always been their business to do so. They moved steadily forward under the most inurderous fire of shot, sbell, grape, canistor and musketry, with a steadiness that was surprising. When Ciudad Roderixo was storined, the flowor of the English army wan selected for the “forlorn hope,” but they, veterans as they were, | never moved with firmer step or more solid column | than did the Second division of the Nineteenth army corre in the attack of yesterday upon the right of the cnemy's position with 9 impetuous charge. The Sixth Michigan and the Ono Hundred and Twenty eighth New York carried the onemy’s works at the point of the bayo- net, but they were compelled to give way, fur the enemy had massed bis troops here, and it became necessary for our glorious follows to fall back before overwhelming numbers. Not much ground was lost however, we only failed to maiutain our position wuhia the main works. ‘The Second regiment Souisiana Native Guard, Colonel Neilson, wer: this charge; they went on in the ad vance,and when they came out six out of nine hun dred men could pot be accounted for. It ia sald on every side that they fought with the desperation of tigers. One ogro was Observed witb a rebel svldier in his graap,toar- ing the flesh from his face with his teeth, other weapons having failed him. There are other incidents connected ‘with the conduct of this regiment that have raised them very much in my opicion as avidiers, After Airing one volley they did sot deign to load again, but went iu with bayonets, and wherever they had a chance it was ai! ap ‘with the rebels. Although we gained much ground, and hold it, still the principal object of this attack was pot ac. complished, namely, getting possession of end holding the batteries on the enemy's right. It was owing to some misunderstanding. The charge cost us heavily in killed aod wounded. Geoeral Sherman led the attack in person, and fell severely wounded in the log.

REINVOR KMENTS. v4 Hoavy reinforcements are being sent up the river to- ight, which will ;roatly add to iho stret of the army before Port Hudson, and much more than cover the lose sustained yesterday.

At seven o'clock last eventig it wan raging along the ertire line with intense fury, and was going on this morning, Despatches received this @ftornoon at four o'clock soy that our position was etl) fwproving, with every prospet of success. OUR ARTILLERY, Our artillery, of which we have a yory large and offec- tive force, was eplendidly sorved, and did m st terrbie execution. Genoral Arnold is deserving of the highest praiso for tho adinirable condition of this arm of the ser vice in thiedepartment., Our shot and shell feli in a con- ‘tincona stream upon the enemy; they were compelled to take shelter from our deluge of ton, twenty and thirty. pounder projectiles and the sharpnell and canister. THE RNKMY'S LOEB, ‘We have no means of uscortaining**the loss of the ene- My; it bas no doubt, however, been frightiul. Masacd as they wore to resist our advance, they were mowed down im boaps. The ground was literally covered with their dying and dead. Ido not think they have lost as many 4 ourselves, but it has been greater in proportion, @onsidering how they were covered from the severity of ‘our fire. ‘Tum MGwT OF TO-DAY. We have no dofinite information regarding to-day's operations. The news has been held back until the field fa wou or lost. The fighting bas,no doubt, beon as s0- vere as yesterday, but we are entirely without details. Jam inclined to think the enemy are almost driven to the ‘wall, aud must surrender or go into the river very soon. We may be iu Port Hu. son to-night, but if we are tho authorities keep the information wonderfully quict. ‘They tell nothing, and will permit nothing to go to North ern papers in advance of information to the War De- partment. J could and would have sent all the above information by telegraph to the South West Pars thix morning in time for te Columbia before she crossed the bar, but the obliging superintendent of the military telegraph, Captain Buckley, would not allow the Northern peopla to receive any informition ahead of the War Department, conse. quently the Hnnanp readers did not receive the news a8 arly as they should by at least two days, THR NAVAL ATRACK. Tt must not be suppowed that wmic the army was doing all this desperate fighting on shore, tho navy was idie, on the contrary, the gallant admiral was at work with the outire squadron both above and below. The bum. more moved their position much nearer the evemia works and kept up @ continuous fire of thirteen inch shell. The Hartford and Albatross engaged the uppor batteries, and whon General Weitzel captured the atx battery before referred to, they moved furthe supported him by attacking the next below; Admiral Farragut, in the Monongahela, followed by the Rich mond, Genesseo and Erseox, engayed the lower works, «and © & most effective manner. ‘The Movomgahela was worked to the admiration of evory ope The fire of the enemy upon the ships was compara tively light, they directed St principally at the Menon- grhela, but failed to hit her. The Richmond was equally fortanate, and there was not @ casualty to record tu the fleet up to nix o'clock inst evening.

The squadron mananvered tu front of the works and Gred with the greatest deliverativnn, doing ‘an immense amount of damage, and continuing the work, until by signal, they ceased firing on account of our sbel's going over among our own poople.

The Ailies at “eban topol bombarded for months and months froin batteries | constructed by all tho science that military engineering could bring to bear, and with guos of the heaviest calibre, before the assault wae attempted; bat here we have a case of line after line of intrenchmeuts being carried by troops that have not, in @ majority of casos, been one year io the Seid. The old soldiers of the Army of the Potomac cannot do better than we have dune hore with nine months mev. ‘The lower battery at Port Hudson bad been abandoned some days since aud the heavy guns spiked, as the poni- tion war too much exposed to the fire of our mortars and the broadsides of the heavy ships.
