From WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-Guerrillas still
lnfest the southern bank of the Potomac,

from Cattletts to Bristol Station.
The Treasury of the United States has
recently received additional evidence that
the two million dollars for the pay of Gen.
Grants army was actually on board the
steamer Ruth at the time of the fire. Much
of the money has been recovered in a
charred condition, and Commission has
been appointed to extend the search for
the portion still missing.
Since the contagration at Lawrence,
Kansas, eight or nine packages of notes
have been sent to the Treasury to be ex-
changed. They had been subjected to the
fire but were not injured beyond Identified
ton. The chemicals employed on these
notes form coating which affords partial
protection from fire.
1t has been aScertained that of the so
cent postage currency there are nine diff
ferent counterfeits; of the 25 and los, two
each, and of the SIS, one.
The present postage currency is coming
into the Treasury at the rate of $50, per
day, and about 81, OO0, 900 of the $40, OOO, 900
issued has already been received. The so
and % cent notes will be Withdrawn, and
the new and improved issues will soon be-
gin to take their place. The withdrawal of
the and 10 cent notes will be gradual.

What the World Saws.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2l.-The World says
edtorially that private advices represent
considerable feeling in New Orleans on the
intervention question, especially among
feeling has been much stimulated by the
latest mails from the North. 1t was known
to the French Consul at New Orleans, and
others, that the French people occupied
Matamoras with 900 or 5000 men within
few days past. o.
A collision was anticipated between the
French and Federal gunboats at the mouth
of the Rio Grande, on some matter connec-
ted with cotton and Confederate supplies.
The feeling in regard to Intervention was
recently indicated by an advance of five
per cent. in Confederate bonds.

Another account of the Battle.

The Star and National Republican,, in
their late editorials Of this afternoon, have
accounts evidently derived from official
sources: the larger one from the Evening
Star is as follows;
On Saturday the 10Th, demonstration
was made by the Rebels in strong force,
which appears to have been repealed by
the force of Gen. Thomas, with the advan-
| tage on the Federal side. On Sunday an
engagement commenced late in the morn
ing. The first gun was fired at 9 o'clock in
the morning, but no considerable firing
| took place until 10 o'clock. Previously to
| 10 O'Clock Gen. RosecranS rode the whole
length of the line.
Soon after the battle commenced, Gen.
Thomas, who held the left, began to call
for reinforcements. About12 O'clock word
came that he had been forced to retire.
The second line of reinforcements were
then sent to him, and McCook's whole
force, which was on the right, and as a re-
serve on the centre, was sent to him. Gen.
Wood, of Crittenden's corps, and Van
Cleve, who held the front centre, were al
so ordered to the left, where the firing of
cannonade showed that the enemy's force
was massed.
These places were filed by Davis and
Sheridan, of McCook's corps, but hardly
had these divisions taken their places in
the line, when the rebel fire, which had
slackened, burst out in immense volleys
ON the centre. This lasted about twenty
minutes, and then Van Cleve, on the right,
was seen to give way, but in tolerable or
der, soon after which, the lines of Reynolds
and Davis were in disorder, borne down
by the enemy's columns, which are said to
have consisted of Folks corps. These two
divisions were the only ones thrown into
much disorder. Those of Negley and Van
Cleve were thrown into confusion, but soon
rallied and held their places, the first on
the left and the second on the right Of Gen.
Thomas corps. Davis and Sheridan, late
in the day, succeeded in rallying about
5000 of their forces and Joined Thomas.
Gen. Thomas, finding himself cnt of from
the right, brought his division into posi-
ton for independent fighting; his line as

NEW YORK, Sept. l9.-The steamer Nc

sented the flag, speeches we're made by of

Amovement of the army of the Potomac
has commenced, as far as to send forward
Buford's cavalry across the Rapidan, the
crossing was effected without opposition.
It is prophesied that but feeble force of
rebels intervenes between Meade and
Richmond. Commanders who have doubt
ed the accumulated evidence of many de-
tachments sent from Lees army South
ward, now seem inclined to admit the fact
since the news of the Chattanooga battle.
Rosecrans is fighting the whole Southern
COnfederacy.
A gentleman who left Falmouth few
days ago reports that there was no rebel
force in or near Fredericksburg, and but
few pickets were to be see. The same par
ty says that there is only one brigade as
low down as Germania, lon the Rapidan.-
There is only one squad of rebel troops
now north of the Rappahannock and east
of Orange & Alexandria Railroad.
The Herdld's Washington special says
that nothing has been talked or thought of
in Washington to-day, except the fate of
Rosecrans' army. It has been officially
ascertained that he has fallen back to Chat
tanooga to await the arrival Of Burnside's
forces, which were yesterday, within thirty
miles, and expected to be up with him to-
day, when a forward movement would be
promptly made on the lines of the enemy
at Pigeon mountains. The utmost conf
dence is felt here, that upon the junction of
Burnside with Rosecrans, the enemy would
be badly beaten and compelled to fall back
on Rome or Atlanta.
In the meantime much solicitude is ex-
pressed in regard to the movement of Gen.
Meade, to take advantage of the depletion
of the rebel army in Virginia.

from Gen. Rosecrans' army this morning.

10 the late battles of Gen. Rosecrans, all of
whlch are, however, dissipated by the last

to fall back upon Chattanooga, which he
