June 16. Commences with pleasant weather, and the bombardment of Port Hudson still going on—enemy not deigning to make any reply; at ten A. M. received some fresh beef on board from shore, for ship’s company. Gunboat Estrella, and steamers Louisiana Belle and Bee, got under way and started up the river—destination, Bayou Sara. Saw a fire in the vicinity of the upper batteries at Port Hudson. Steamer Bee came down the river, during the afternoon, with despatches; at three P. M. heavy squalls of wind and rain. Between the hours of six and eight o’clock, received provisions from lower fleet, overland.
