A variety of food was set before him, but he persistently refused everything excepting a mere taste of roast apple ; He was falling very rapidly, 'and on Christmas morning a physician was called in to see him. The doctor gave it as his opiuion that death would ensue in forty-eight hours, if he couuuueu to reiuse nourisnmeni. j About noon on" Christmas he was prevailed npon to take a little gruel, , the physicians pro hibiting him from taking anything but very weak diet, and that in the smallest quantity at. a time. If be continues to eat he will soon regain his 'health, but if 1he should take another notion arid abstain for a few days longer, he wil not receive the offices of an executioner." His death warrant had not been received, but it was signed by the government several days, since.

Tbe Fortifications at Port Hudson. A Baton Hviuge correspondent of the Boston Traveller, sayat, J '".""f: :':' Information has been received, that tne farmers in this vicinityi a Clinton and other places be tween here and Port Hudson, are building fortifi ? .C ll -w A Anfii1 tKat vlenretinni At n1 CAilUIlO Ul till IV1UU9 OlUUUVi Wiou uiauwiv npon the roads, and many of them have loop boles made in their houses and barns to aid in rebulling any attempt to advance npon Port Hud son..which i twentv-two miles from here, The rebel force at the latter place is variously estlmat- ed from eight to fifteen thousand, and some of their best fighting material is concentrated there. The earthworks erected by the planters and their slaves are supplied with light field pieces, and it is leportcd that for two miles around Por$ Hud son the roads are undermined With powder and torpedoes ? The rebels believe this place, like ajll others we have captured, to - be impregnable, either from river or land attack, and they place great reliance on Its- strength" in preventing .our river fleet moving on V lcusourg. i ney nave oue immense run mounted on one of their' bstterifer which bas never been fired, and which they fear to lire least it should explode. This monster they prefer to keep, muzzled till oar fleet ap proaches. . . . --'.'ii . . The secessionists who fled from Baton Rouge npon the news of our approach, are at work with the inhabitants of Clinton and Jackson, building earthworks. , On the river the rebels have batter ies five miles long, lo defend Port Hudson. AH accounts seem te wairant the general belief that a desperate battle will be fpbgbt at this point. The billy situation of 4hk country around Port Hudson gives to it on rivalled advantages in the shape of natural fortifications. Notwithstanding all this, though I dislike to prognosticate, npon such uncertain events, yet I feel convinced, from the nature and' extent of the - preparation that are now being made, that a Union defeat here is impossible. It may be a dear, bought victory, but it cannot, under the guidance of such tried and skilful. leaders, result iu anything but a victory.
