Bombardment of Port Hudson.graphic description of the Engagement.
It is rarely the public have an opportunity to get a correct idea of the manner of bombarding our forts on the Mississippi.
The Port Hudson (La) correspondent of the Jackson Appeal gives a most graphic description of the bombardment of that place on the 14th inst. The bombarding fleet consisted of the steam sloops Hartford, 10 guns; Monongahela, 16; Richmond, 26; Mississippi, 12; gunboats Kinnes, 5 guns, and Tennessee. 5 guns.
Shortly before midnight the boats, having formed the line-of-battle as described, their decks cleared for action, and the men at their quarters, the Hartford led the way and the others promptly followed her direction.
At the moment of their discovery a rocket was to be sent up from the Admiral's flag-ship, as the signal for the Essex and her accompanying mortar boats, which were concealed around a point in the river, to commence the work.
Our men were all at their guns.
