WASHINGTON, Dec. pa special dispatch TO
the Herald says:
Ii is stated To day in financial circles that the
Secretary of the Treasury had consented TO the
further issue OF 5000. 00U 900 Treasury notes.
This would carry the circulating medium from
1877 900 900. the amount estimated on the first
oil November by Secretary Chase, TO S577 900,
900; but the latter amount may he reduced BY
the withdrawal of bank notes from circulation,
under Mr.. Cbase's policy OF taxing bank notes.
The Herald saws, relating To the raid. that Va
rious efforts have been made to cut them off. and
IL i believed that a force winch has been sent
out from Fairfax Court House, under Colonel
Wyndham, will bc successful.
Although Wyndham's horses are much latigued
from a previous eflert TO overtake the raiders,
they are certainly in better condition than
the rebels. who have been making this forced
night and day march for two whole DAYS and
nights.
Its not likely that the Army OF the Potomac
will long remain lille.
Rumors are current to day that Stonewall
Jackson had made an attack upon Slge!'s corps
in the vicinity OF Stafford Court House, and
after the repul>e of jackson he had drawn a pOr-
ton of SigeI's force into an ambuscade aud cap
tured = large number OF prisoners
There il reason 10 believe this repor, 10 he a
pure fabrication, as no information of such an
engagement has been received here ia ANY official
quarter.
