Mace in pun $ nit of the ship Ashland, which
IS probably loading with guano at George
Islands. She belongs in New Orleans, and
;f captured, will be copfscated The sec
ond mate and Eve men deserted from her al
EIida Island, off the coast of Lower Calf
fornia, and they assert that the Captain Is
Secessionist and treated the Northern men
aboard with savage cruelty.
Soon after the arrival of the clipper ship
Sea Serpent, to-day, the revenue officer selz-
ed twelve thousand dollars worth of tobac-
co consigned 10 Greene, Heath d Allen, on
information that the property belonged 70
Southern owners. On Saturday large lo'
of tobacco which came out on the snip
Sword Fish, to the same companies, was
seized on the same kind of Information.
The reports from the interior show that
the recent appeals to the military spirit OF
the people have not been in vain. At the
rate companies are offered, the FIVE regiments
will soon be filled up. Six companies of in
fanlry that have encamped near San Fran
cisco, being part of the 500 called for SER
vice on the Overland Mail route. have been
sent to Los Angeles. This unsupported
movement coupled with the recent informa-
ton of the sudden departure of troops al
ready in the South for San Barnardinop
would indicate that Gen. Sumner has intel
ligence of recent disunionism among the
Southern sympathisers in that part of the
State, which are hidden from the public al
large. 1t now appears that the entire over
land force is for the present to be stationed
at Los Angeles.

The Tri6une's Washington dispatch says:
ITO my positive knowledge. message was
received last Sunday by lady in Washing
ton. from the Colonel of the Ninth Virgin
ia regiment, now at or near Munson's Hall.
1t appears that tie rebel generals still hold
out the prospect of an attack on Washing
ton to their followers, fearing to acknowl-
edge as yet the abandonment of that, inten-
ton. The Virginia Colonel sent word he
would be in Washington on Sunday next.
and the circumstances forbid the possibility
of his making any such announcement,
without being himself convinced of its
truth This simply shows that officers
of considerable rank in the rebel army are
still made victims of Davis and Beaure-
CARDS receptions.

To GEORGE MCINTOSH,
Operations at the Philadelphia Mint.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
"a small gold coinage having been late
" needed by the Government, the mint,
during the whole of last month, was occu-
pied three days each week coming half and
quarter eagles, tie remaining three days be-
ing employed on double eagles. Now that
the Government demand for small coin is
not so pressing, return has been made en-
tirely in gold coinage to double eagles, In
order to accommodate banks and the bullion
dealers in furnishing gold for the new ma
tional loan subscriptions.
..Three million of dollars of gold bullion
are now in the vaults, which will at once be
coined. The coinage Of one million of dol
lars in double eagles, requires four days.
The entire mint coinage thus far this month
exceeds, in gold, silver and copper, three
millions of dollars.
Each succeeding year exceeds its prede-
cessor in receipt of bullion. The receipts
from California for the twelve months pre-
ceding the first of June last amounted. in
round numbers, to $50, 1000 coo. The
Kansas mines yielded. in that period. ST.

"a very considerable increase, which, it is
thought, will be augmented during lhe com
ing term, notwithstanding the present en-
lstments.
.'Of domestic silver bullion, 100000
was received during the year preceding the
first of June last, of which 100000 was
from the Washoe region, $4,000 from
Lake Superior. S12,O from Arizona, and
ST 900 from North Carolina. The remain

The Richmond Examiner of the 18th

LATEST FROM LANE.


Gen. Lane is schieving a series Of victo-
ries with his little armS in Missouri, which
will have good effect fnnthe Union cause
in that State.
After his victory in Papinsville, already
recorded, he proceeded Immediately to Osee-
ola, in st. Clair county, Mo-, distance OF
twenty miles.
The rebel force there was dislodged, the
town burned to the ground, and the i'm
menss supply train of Rains and Price cap
tured.
This train was between two and three
miles in length, contained all the supplies
and equippage of Rains and Price, and one
hundred thousand dollars in money. This
is the most important success gained for
the Union cause in Missouri, and goes far
to redeem our losses at Lexington. About
dozen of the rebels bit the dust, and Lane
had one man killed and two wounded. He
took about two hundred head of beef cattle,
one hundred head of horses and about eigh-
ty contrabands (negroes) of war, anda larg
amount of lead. He also destroyed large
amount of rebel "rot-gut." Al last ac-
counts he was marching to Kansas City,
and has probably Joined the army there be-
fore this time, which is intended to operate
against Price. Gen. Lane has issued a
proclamation to his men in which be is down

CHICAGO, Sept. %

From reports of some of Col. Mulligan' s
command, who reached this city last nigh bit,
we obtain the following additional particu-
lars: The men left Lexington on Saturday
afternoon. Nearly two hours were occupi-
ed in ferrying them over the river.
Only one commissioned officer, Lieut..
Hollenbirg, escaped.
All accounts agree that the rebel loss in
killed and dangerously wounded was from
900 to 1890.
The Quincy Wing of last night states,
on information of an intelligent member OF
Col Marshall's regiment, that a leading reb-
ell surgeon conceded the loss of 1,130. Our
men lost $50 killed and wounded; some
400 horses of Col. Marshail's regiment were
killed.

New YORK, Sept. &c.


Gen. Fremont, day or two since, made a
requisition of FIVE hundred thousand dol
lars, to be paid Immediately on account of
purchases of ordnance and ordnance stores
in ST. Louis. General Ripley specially re-
ported 10 day on this application:
First. That no authority whatever was
taken in the ordnance bureau for Gen. FIRE.
mont's making the purchases.
Second. That vouchers accompanying
the application. show that excessive prices
were paid for many of the articles. There
is no evidence from Gen. Fremont's com
mand that these arms have undergone in
spection by United States officer, or any
inspection at all. Finally, Gen.
Ripley reports that unless purchases and ex-
penditures like these of Gen. Fremont are
restricted by the War Department, the lib
eral appropriation of Congress will be
wholly insufficient to meet the liabilities that
can be rolled up against the government.
A dispatch went to-day from Secretary
Cameron to the Governor of Iowa, forbid
ding the drafting of troops, and express
ing his unbounde6 confidence in the patri-
otism of the people intimating that The
policy of the War Department wouldbe to
rely on the popular love of freedom and the
military attachment to the Union.
A special dispatch TO the Herald says,
that the pickets along our whole lines are
doubled to night, in order to be fully pre-
pared for any movement that may be at
tempted on the other side.
No passes whatever are to be issued to
morrow to visitors to the other side of the

I learned to-day the confirmation of a
fact which throws some light on the FIRE.
mont affair, and which will go far towards
generating the General, and which ex-
plains why he was unable to send reinforce
ments to Colonel Mulligan.
By the middle of this month Gen. Nc
Clellan had all the troops here that he want
ed, and more than he could possibly use.
Yet about the 18th inst, the War Depart
ment sent orders to General Fremont to
send here Immediately six regiments of III
inois troops, which were at that time at St.
Louis. The regiments had been organized
for some time, and had been long in the
field. and were in all respects the best dis
ciplined and best drilled soldiers under Ere
mont's command. II is useless to deny
that Fremont received the order with sur
prise, and executed it with reluctance but
he ordered 1t Immediately without mo-
ment's hesitation. Gen Mcclellan has no
use for the troops here. and they will have
to be put into camp by themselves, and
Brigadier General appointed for them. Ii
they had been sent up the Missouri river to
LIE xington, Col. Multi gan would never have
surrendered.
