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. The letter says:

hey exploded one by one, adding to the novel grand our of the sight. When the burning Mississippi reached the point where the mortar boats and other craft lay, she created a perfect panic among them. Probably, from the fear of her magazine exploding among them they speedily cast loose from their moorings and run before her, not making their appearance again until near the hour of noon to day. The light of the burning wreck could be seen steadily increasing its distance for two hours and a half. At five minutes past five o'clock, when the Mississippi was probably within five miles of Baton Rouge, a sudden glare lit up the whole sky. The cause was known to be the explosion of the magazine. After a considerable interval of time a long rumbling sound brought final proof that the Mississippi one of the finest vessels of the United States, which had earned an historic fame before the commencement of the present war, as the flag-ship of the Japan expedition, was a thing of the past.

$150; pantaloons $75 to $80. New York politics — another fusion party. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger writes: It may be of some interest to the student of New York politics, at a distance, to know that a programme for the construction of a new Conservative (or fusion) party has been formally agreed to by a number of prominent Republicans on the one Band, and Democrats on the other. The object is to leave out in the cold all radical Republicans like Horace Greeley, and all radical peace men like Fernando and Benj. Wood. With a machine thus constituted, it is thought there will be no difficulty in hitching it on to the Administration, or hitching the Administration on to it, and thus systematically prepare the way for the next Presidential campaign. Prosper M. Wetmore, Chas. Gould, Mayor Opdylce, (Republicans,) with James T Bracy and John Van Buren, (Democrats,) are among the gentlemen most conspicuous in the movement. This organization bids fai

The recent gobbling up of some two thousand of Gen. Rosecrans's command by Van-Dora is as yet unavenged. At last accounts a battle was imminent--one of the most do operate of the war — but from Gen.

Hooker's army we hear that all is in readiness, for an advance, but which of course may not take place for a couple of weeks yet — all depending upon the weather. The recent cavalry fight in the direction of Culpeper was a gallant affair, but it obviously was not as complete a success as it was designed to be. There has been fighting on the Blackwater, but as nothing has come over the wires in reference to it we judge the news cannot be good. It must also be admitted that the preliminary movement
