Northern papers have come to hand giving accounts of the fight at Port Hudson on May twenty-seventh, and the part the negro regiments took in it. The description given in the Times of the thirteenth of June is in the main correct. The correspondent of that joPort Hudson on May twenty-seventh, and the part the negro regiments took in it. The description given in the Times of the thirteenth of June is in the main correct. The correspondent of that journal should have stated that some of the line officers of the First Native Guards are colored, instead of saying the field officers are black — the officers composider arrest. The Second regiment Louisiana Native Guards has never been near Port Hudson. The colored regimerits in the fight spoken of were the First and Third reg work, when the command was given for them to leave Baton Rouge and march to Port Hudson. The regiment (the First) broke out in cheers for General Butler and Coloneconfidence. The unflinching courage of the black soldier, as displayed at Port Hudson, shows that we may depend upon him to do his part in the present contest.

Finding themselves thus over-powered, about two hundred of the negro troops rushed to the siege-guns, jumped headlong over the walls, and were saved. Now to show how utterly false in every particular the statements of the correspondent of the Express are, I will say that the Second Louisiana black troops are on Ship Island, and their commander, Colonel Daniels, is or has recently been in New-Orleans under arrest. The Second regiment Louisiana Native Guards has never been near Port Hudson.

Any one can imagine the joy of the colored soldiers, after months of drudgery, building forts, repairing bridges, cleansing sinks for white regiments, carrying baggage for white officers, and all sorts of dirty work, when the command was given for them to leave Baton Rouge and march to Port Hudson. The regiment (the First) broke out in cheers for General Butler and Colonel Stafford, and marched off singing the song, John Brown. The correspondent of the Times has told how these colored soldiers fought on the twenty-seventh, and I need not repeat the story here. The unflinching courage shown on that day has been exhibited nearly every day since, for they have had frequent skirmishes with the rebels, and in every instance the latter have been driven back with loss.

ho had annoyed our soldiers very much. The rebels were put to flight and driven into their works, with a loss of two killed, and two or three wounded; our loss was the same. The rebels left behind them their supper, canteens, blankets, etc. Our boys were much joyed with their success; and it may be added that they have been constantly advancing on the rebel works, and have never given up an inch of ground that they have once gained. All honor to our brave colored soldiers! General Banks has spoken in the highest terms of the fighting qualities of the negro soldiers, and it is probable that they will no longer be kept in the background for want of his confidence. The unflinching courage of the black soldier, as displayed at Port Hudson, shows that we may depend upon him to do his part in the present contest. The siege is progressing favorably, and will soon end in success to our arms. J. T. Paine, Surgeon-in-charge First and Third Infantry U. S. Volunteers, Corps d'afrlque.
