THE WAR DT TEXAS AND LOUISI-
BIJMOEED EVACUATION Cr TEXAS.
PORT HUDSON ViREA.TENED BY. GENE
RAL POLK,
The following are extracts from the correspond
ence of the New York ilrorkl:
Nsw OnneAus, April 2.3.—1 t is now an admitted
fact that Texas is being evacuated; the "victory"
on Red River is the assigned cause for it. But an
exerts° is hardly needed for it.- It never paid in
cotton or military results, and its glory has long
since faded away. I announced some time ago
that it would be done,
not from information re
ceived at headquarters, but from the necessity of
the case, which would compel so wasteful, and
transparently useless an exhinition of purposeless
and ineffective demonstration without action to be
abandoned.
A report has reached us here that Lieutenant-
General Polk is at Camp Moore, about ninety
miles from this city, on the line of the Jackson
Railroad, with from fifteen to twenty thousand
men, and that he is to move at once on Port Hud
son, or on Baton Rouge. I would suppose on
Port Hudson. The policy which has dictated this
movement, if it be a real one, is somewhat ques
tionable, unless his forces are wholly such as he
would raise from the classes before mentioned,
and who could not be induced to go to the aid of
Lee or Johnston.
As the confederates seem determined to make
the most serious diversions, both South and West,
against the annihilation with which their favorite
general is threatened in Virginia, I shall not be
much surprised if this report turns out to be true;
but while I think it highly probable that
they may take Port Hudson and its negro
garrison. I feel confluent that General
Cooke will hold Baton Rouge against all
odds. He has a respeetable force.under him, and
the woods have been cut down for five miles
around the city, so that no one can approach with
out coming full in sight, and shell, and schrapnel,
grape, and canister would have an open field be
fore them, from behind intrenchments of the most
elaborate construction. Whatever becomes of
Port Hudson, Baton Rouge ' unless military ne
cessity removes its garrison, is safe.
All of our reports from Red river are not of so
favorable a nature. For instance, we have a cur
rent report that fifteen thousand confederates, with
Magruder at their head, are between Banks and
Alexandria. As I happen to ano yr from quite suf
ficient authority that Magruder is in Galveston, I
am not badly "sold" by this statement; but that
some force of confederates ought by this time to be
taking advantage of Banks' s lowering and lessen.
mg communications with New Orleans is alto
gether probable. They would be greater simple
tons than we have any right to suppose them to be,
if they do not.
[From the N. Y. Tribune, May 2d.)
DEATH OF COMMODORE W. D. PORTER
Commodore William D. Porter died on Sunday
morning at Saint Luke's Hospital; to which place
he was taken three weeks ago. Coral:Emden Porter
was born in Louisiana, was appointed from the
State of Massachusetts, entering the service Jan
uary 1, 1823, saw 15 years sea duty, over 5
years shore - duty, and was 20 years_unempioyed.
He was between 50 and 60 years of age at the
time of his death. A complication of complaints—
among which were the Mississippi fever and
neuralgia of the heart, carried him off. He leaves
a wife who was with him at the time of his death,
one daughter, who is in Richmond, and two sons,
who are in the Confederate service. The deceased
had a broad reputation for courage, having fought
his way from Cairo to New Orleans. The honor of
destroying the rebel ram Arkansas belongs to him.
He was the commander of the iron-clad gunboat
Essex at Fort Henry--a boat which was built
according to his own plan—and he became
noted as the man who had mechanics working at
one end of his vessel while his guns were working
at the other. In the attack on Fort Henry, while
the brave tars on board the Essex stood gallantly at
their guns, a ball from the port flew along the ship,
through the bulkheads, and than crashed through
the middle boiler. Capt. Porter (since promoted to
the post of Commodore) was badly scalded on the
face and bands, but he soon resumed active ser
vice, and has since taken part in most of the stir
ring events on the Mississippi River and its tribu
taries, participating in over 50 engagements. At
the outset of the rebellion his loyalty was doubted,
but he hastened to prove himself a worthy officer
(Pr the Republic. in his death the country has
sustained the loss of a skillful sailor and a brave
and patriotic citizen. His remains will probably
be removed to Philadelphia for interment.

the Constitution Water.
The disease known as FALLING OF THE

ligaments of that organ, and is known by a sense
of heaviness and dragging pains in the back and

There is another class of symptoms arising from
IRRITATION OF THE WOMB, which physi.
Shuns call nervousness. which word covers up
much ignorance, and in nine cases out of ten the
doctor does t otreally know whether the symptoms
are the disease or the disease the symptoms. We

Dr. Wm. IL Gregg—Dear Sir: In February,
iStil, I was afflicted with sugar diabetes, and for
live months I passed more than two gallons of
water in twenty-lour hours. I was obliged to get
up as often as ten or twelve times during the night,
and in Jive months I lost about fifty pounds in
weight. During the month of July, If6l, I pro
cured two bottles of Constitution Water, and in
two days after using it I experienced relief, and
after taking two bottles I was entirely cured; soon
after regaining my usual good health.
Yours truly, J. V. 1.. DEWITT.
BosroN Courtans, N. Y., Dec. 27, 1261.
Wm. H. Gregg oo.—Gents--I freely give you
liberty to make nee of the following Certificate of
the value of . Constitution Water, which I can re
commend-in the highest manner:
ly wife was attacked with pain in the
shoulders, whoie length of the back, and in her
limbs, with Paipstation Qf the heart and irritation
of the Bladder. I called a physician, who at
tended her three months, when he left her worse
than he had found her. I then employed one of
the best physicians I could find, who attended her
for about nine months, and while she was under
nis care ehe did not suffer quite as :much pain.
He finally gave her. up and said, her case was in
curable. "For," said he, ''she *as moil
a conthination of complaints, that medicine given for
one operates against some other of her difficulties."
About this time . she commenced the Ilse of the
CONSTITUTION WJeran, and, to our utter astonish
ment, almost the first nose seemed to have the de
sired effect, and she kept on improving rapidly
under its treatment, and now superintends entirely
her domestic affairs. She has not taken any of the
Corterrrorron WATBS, for about four weeks, and
we are happy to say that it has produced a perma
nent cure: WRI.M. VAN BENSCHOTEN.
Dr. W. H. Gregg—Dear Sir—Having seen your
advertisement of " Cone.titntion Water," tecom.
mended for inflammation of the Kidneys and Irri
tation of the Bladder, haying suffered for the past
three years, and tried the skill of a number of phy
sicians with only temporary relief, I was induced
to try your medicine. I procured one bottle from
your agents at Hartford, Messrs. Lee, Sisson ai
Co., and when I had used half of it, to my sur
prise I found a great change in my health. 'have
used two bottles of it, and am wlinre I never ex
pected to be in my life, well, and in good spirits.
I cannot express my gratitude for it; I feel that it
is all and more than you recommend it to be. May
the blessing of God ever attend you in your labors
of love. Yours, truly,
LEONARD S.-BIGELOW.
THESE ARE FtitTYS ENOUGH.
We presentthe Constitution Water to the riblie
withthe - conviction that it has no equal in reliev
ing the class of diseases for which it has been
found so eminently successful in curing; and we
trust that we shall be rewarded for our ellorts in
placing so valuables remedy in a Win to meet the
