Late and important Northern news. We are under obligations to George Moore, Esq., for a copy of the N. Y. Herald of Saturday, the 6th inst., containing some highly interesting news, a summary of which we lay before our readers. The steamship Morning Star, which left New Orleans on the 29th ult., brings an account of the first day's fighting at Port Hudson. Banks commanded in person, and the fight was still going on at the time of the departure of the Morning Star. The attack commenced on the 27th, and the Herald's correspondent says it has been "one of, if not the bloodiest battle, that has yet been fought on this continent." The Confederate force within the works is estimated at from ten to twelve thousand, and the assault is represented by the Yankee letter writer as having been attended with "terrific slaughter." The attack was made by land and water, Farragut's fleet bombarding the town while Banks's columns endeavored to storm our fortifications. The leading atta

om Cincinnati, reports Joe Johnston as advancing in force on Memphis. An immense meeting of the "peace democrats" was held on the 3d in New York. The Herald says it numbered over thirty thousand people, and the New York democracy, under Fernando Wood, "have declared en masse in favor of a "vigorous prosecution of peace," an armistice, and separate conventions of the loyal and rebel States," and predicts that this peace platform "will be that of all the democracy, and that with it they wil considerations. The new President, whatever might have been his antecedents or opinions, will, upon assuming office, be compelled to suspend the operations of the war, proclaim an armistice, and propose a Convention of all the States." Fernando Wood had a long interview with Lincoln at Washington on the 5th inst. Two large brick buildings, corner of Washington and Wide water streets, in Norfolk, Va. were destroyed by fire on the 4th. Henry Winter Davis was nominated in Baltimor

Gen. Hooker has been to Washington to consult with Lincoln upon the propriety the correspondents say of giving him (Hooker) the control of the army without referring to Washington for plans. For criticism on his handling of the army at Chancellorsville, Hooker had tabooed the New York Herald, and 7,000 copies of that paper were seized and burnt at Aquia Creek. The restriction was afterwards removed. The Herald says: "The platform of the Democracy in the Presidential campaign of 1864 will be peace, and what is more the candidate will be elected, no matter who he is the principle controlling a

When the Lyon left, at midnight, a conflagration was going on in the city. Some supposed our shells had set the buildings on fire, while others conjectured that the rebels were destroying their supplies, preparatory to surrendering. Gen. Grant's numbers and position would be absolutely impregnable in a few days. Particulars cannot be given, but they are of a most cheering character. Chicago, June 5.--A special dispatch from the rear of Vicksburg, dated May 31st, says: The bombain sufficient force to attack us. Philadelphia, June 5.--A special dispatch from Cincinnati to-day to the Bulletin, but entirely discredited by that paper, says: "A report is current to-day that Gen. Joe Johnston instead of marching on Grant's rear to relieve Pemberton is advancing on Memphis. The report comes in various shapes, and is somewhat credited." Francis M.

ented by the Yankee letter writer as having been attended with "terrific slaughter." The attack was made by land and water, Farragut's fleet bombarding the town while Banks's columns endeavored to storm our fortifications. The leading attack was headed by Sherman, who was vigorously repulsed, and had to retire with enormous loss. A negro regiment, which was put in advance, (a cute Yankee trick,) lost 600 men out of 900. Sherman lost his leg, General Neal Dow was also wounded, and Colonels Clarke, Cowles, and Smith were killed. The 6th Michigan and 128th New York each lost about half their men, and the other regiments suffered severely. The Herald's correspondent says the Yankee loss, in killed and wounded, will reach at least three thousand. So much for the beginning of the fight. With regard to the second day's fight he says: "We have no definite information regarding to-day's operations. The news has been held back until the field is won or lost." This sounds very ominou
