FROM THE FRONT

The mail steamer Daniel Webster, Captain
Charles Deering, from City Point, arrived here
this morning at a quarter past nine o'clock, an
hour behind her usual time, having been de-
layed by the rough weather on the bay. She
brought mp the army mails and about 40 dis
charged soldiers The Webster brings no news
but reports all quiet up to 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, with the exception Of an occasional
artillery duel, since the engagement of Friday
night last
In that fight we captured 90 prisoners, and
killed considerable number of the enemy.
Our own loss was only Is killed, wounded and
missing, including three officers We still
hold the skirmish line captured from them on
Friday night, and the enemy has shown no
disposition to make another contest tor 1t.
Eight rebel deserters from Hills corps came
up on the Webster. The recent order Of General
Grant, offering protection to desertors from the
rebel army, and promising to furnish them
with employment out of the reach of the Con.
federate authorities, has had a desirable effect,
and squads Of them come in daily. The rebel
officers experience great difficulty in keeping
their men upon picket posts, for they generally
embrace this opportunity to desert.

NEAR PETEREBURa, VA, Sept. lo.-The
days past has scarcely been heard at any por-
ton OF our line, is again growing familiar.
The rebel entrenched picket line makes an
abutment of some 400 yards in length, and that
distance has been considerably further ad !.
vanced, SO that the adjacent portions OF their
line on either side this abutment extended along
the crest of hill From this position the
rebel pickets could look composedly down and
watch our movements and operations in our
to occupy this crest Withou molestadon ever
since our line was first established there.
Gen. Mott, some days ago, came to the con-
cluslon that so good post OF observ atlon ought
to be wrested from them.
Last night he determined to carry the plan
into effect, and Gen. De Treaubriand, COM
handing the First Brigade OF his division,
was entrusted with the Management OF the
movement.
Dividing the force into two columns, he ad.
vanced each OF them by the flank from two
different points, striking the Rebel line at the
extreme ends Of the abutting section that was
10 be taken.
Each column filed along the rife pits until
the two met, and closing in upon the Rebel
pickets took them all prisoners before they u.s.
pecfed that any thing was wrong
Our men, SITTER taking the Rebel rtne. PITS, I'M.
mediately turned them, with the face towards
the enemy. and tonight they Will, doubtless.
be connected with, and made part and parcel
Of our own line.
The Rebel Lteutenant captured said that had
they been expecting an attack they could ha We
resisted three lines OF hattie. which IL. no doubt
the truth, and the officers engaged In the move.
ment deserve great credit for the secreoy And
rapidity with which it was executed.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12-The America, from
Southampton on the 3lst, has arrived.
The Frankfort stock market was glutted with
American securities and parcels by the last
steamer, sold at two per cent. reduction.
Up to the present time, the conference on
Danish affairs is occupied solely with the ter
ritorial question. The Prussia Zeituug says
there will be no withdrawal OF troops from
Jutland before a definite conclusion of peace.
The return of all the Prussian troops from the
duchles is, therefore, far less to be expected.
Arrests continue in Trieste, and in Venetia,
the police have discovered arms, ammunitions,
&c.
The London Times says, the news from
America, though indecisiye, continues to be
most interesting. The vigor with which this
years campaign has been conducted appears
to spread like confiagration over the vast
theatre OF operations, and the struggle is sus-
tanned hey ond precedent at each point of in
terest Astonishing as it is, 1t seems that Gen.
Grants efforts are not yet exhausted. Nonum-
Der Of reverses seem sufficient to check this
pertinacious General.
Speaking Of the doings of the ram Tennessee,
the Times says:
oThe ram Tenness ee is said to have engaged
the whole Federal fleet, which consisted Of Is
frigates and monitors, for an hour and half,
surrendering at last only when disabled In her
rudder, and IN danger Of being run down by the
"combined movement" II this be true, 1t is
one Of the most gallant actions Of the war, and
we shall look with great interest for descrip-
ton of the vessel which could achieve such q
result The account Of the loss on both sides
makes the action appear still more extraordi-
nary"

FISANcIAL.-The New York Post of Tues
day evening says:
The sensation rumors that Mr. Fessenden has
decided TO place another Government loan on
me market Immediately are without; fouuda.
ion. We are authorized TO say that at present
NO new loan Will be offered
.ns price OF gold fell this morning lower

ident W INC ies'
Gold opened at 22s and sold down To a,aD.
afterwards reaching to 2l7K and closing at
2l7k. Exchange is dull at 169 for specis
apprehension Of difficulty in meeting the M w'
ments on account Of the new loan, and the
scarcity Of greenbacks in consequen of the
drain 70 the West for the moving Of the crons
are the principal causes to which the acti yitv
10 ascribed. II 10 also rum0red that a new
Government loan will be almost immediatelv
put ON the market. This false rumor has bsen
industriously circulated by the bears.
The Commercial Advertiser says:
The stock market opened with very unset
tied feeling, induced partially by the sIrong
downward tendency OF the gold market, and
partially BY the temporary stringency OF money
connected with the first pay ments on account
OF the new lean. The bears" seized the op.
portupity for throwing large amounts OF stock
upon the market In excess Of what the " bulls
were prepared TO carry, and the result was q
decline Of Ka3X upon railroads.
Governments hardly hold the impro vement
of Saturday.

report that the Secretary OF the Treasury has
