The War in the Southwest.

Port Hudson, March 5, (via Mobile, March 6.)

--Intelligence, reliable, and of the greatest importance, has been received from the front. The preparations being made by Banks army point unmistakably to an early advance. Seventeen mortar boats, the sloop-of-war Mississippi, and the gunboat Essex, are now anchored at Baton Rouge.--Banks force is fully 30,000. Ambulances and litters are being prepared. The opinion of military men is that this point will be attacked within a few days. The utmost confidence prevails among both officers and men in our ability to defeat the enemy. The report that our pickets had been driven in is unfounded, but an immediate advance is anticipated. The latest information confirms the disffection in the Abolition flanks. It is reported that Banks is opposed to the attack, but has orders from the War Department.
