Port Hudson Letter

Just received a copy of a letter from W.W. Stewart to his father I.W. Stewart from Port Hudson March 31 1863. In the letter he mentions a recent gunboat fight, federal troops heading for Camp Moore, the 6th Miss. arriving and five regiments heading to Camp Moore area. He also mentions Uncle Ben's boys as being well (probably in 6th Miss.) and His brother Ben Stewart in another unit, possibly cavalry.

Can't get into the soldiers and sailors system to dig out the possibilities. Can somebody help? The Stewart's lived north of Hattiesburg , but I can't remember the county.
