HAVANA, Aug. lS.-The only news from
Mexico is a letter from Matamoras, of the 25lh
ult., which presents the state of affairs In that
country as being by no means as uufavorable
for Juarez as Maximilian's organs have lately
tried to make the world believe. Tue state.
ment that Uraga had deserted Juarez and sub
miued to the Emperor, are again reiuted in
this letter, which contains a paragraph from
letter from Uraga himself Maximiliap, even
by the showing of the EaGJeue and other Off
cial organs, finds many unexpected difficulties.
1t complains of the want of assistance and CO.
operation from the influential citizens, who
heretofore were opposed IN Juarez, but they do
not seem 10 like MaXimilian any better. We
are told that the clergy are very much opposed
TO this civilizitioni they expected to get back
their property, but Msximilian, Almonte IL
Co., want II themselves.

The BRIG VISION AT SEA.-On Sunday, June
26, the miniature brig Vision, the smallest
craft that has ever yet attempted to cross the
Atlantic, departed from the Battery, at New
York, direct for Liverpool. She sailed out in
gallant style, with colors flying, manned by a
crew consisting of John q. Donovan and his
dog Toby, and one man, named Williams, from
Rhode Island. Her departure was witnessed
BY q large number Of people, who remained
despite the intense heat, until the vessel be-
came a speck on the water.

A WORD TO CoPPERHEADs The traitors of
the South dive away all the Union citizens,
and the cOpperheads of the North cry out, BE
hold united peopls!" The loyal people of the
North not only permit all the disunlon citizens
to remHin and work for the traitors, but they
allow the traitors Of tho South TO come to the
North for residence, adding their influence 10
the opposition, and the copperheads exclaim,
Behold divided Nortb!' Even some Union
citizens among us feel discouraged In view of
the fact that we are divided and they are united.
Such persons are short-sighted for, had we
pursued the Southern method, we should have
united North, and, probably, also a South
united with Us In a common Uulon. The loyal
people are constantly being insultGd for the
privileges they have extended to the enemies of
the Union. "We are a divided North" Who
divided II! You, miscreants, who should be
grateful for the freedom and security that you
have been permitted TO enjoy. Suppose you
had been driven South, where you belOng, you
would have been dragged into the rebel army
and made food for our powder. You now pro-
pose bloody resistance TO certain measures of
the Government, which you yourselves have
made necessary and thus 1t is that the serpent
We have warmed into life is preparing TO sting
us for our kindness!

CArRo, Aug. 24.-The Balidin says that the
rebel force that entered Memphis on Sunday
morning, consisted Of nine regiments Of
cavalry and four guns, under Forrest In per.
son. Only half Of the command entered the
city, the remainder stopping outside to pre-.
vent their retreat being cut of. They cap.
tured about two hundred and ffty prisoners,
mostly one hundred days men, many Of whom
escaped, and others were murdered.
The rebels fred on the patients In the hos.
pitfalls, and shot several sick soldiers, and cap
tured others.
Those who were unable to keep up with the
cavalry were killed.
But for the prompt action Of the Sth Iowa
regiment, prisoners In the Irving prison might
have been released and the Bulletin office
| sacked.
The rebels suddenly left tho city about six
O'Clock, followed by q considerable force OF
our troops, and fight occurred near the lanes,
lasting two hours, In which they were severely
punished and driven of. 1twas here that Coils,
starr and Kendrlck were wounded In coming
through the lanes.
The rebels captured two guns and portion
Of the 9TH Wisconsin battery, and number oi
one hundred days men, but were obliged to
abandon the guns In their retreat. After the
retreat Forrest sent flag of truce, asking au
exchange of prisoners, which was denied.
Lieut. Harrington, Sd United States artillery,
was killed; Maj. Lansing, 4th colored artillery,
and Lieut.. kinsey, member OF Gen. Wash.

August %, 1864. !
No engagement has taken place since Sun
day. As was stated in yesterdays dispatch,
the enemy has fallen back to their lines, two
miles from Petersburg, where they are seen
buslly erecting strong works, similar to those
we first encountered on our arrival here. They
are laboring night and day, with large num-
Der OF men, as though they were afraid Of an
attack before they get them completed.
Their main line runs near and west of the
lead works to the southside railroad, which ia
said to be strongly defended. Their picket iIue
extends nearly mile south Of their works
with videttes thrown out near the Davis house,

claim that they have taken 5000 prisoners.

In the 9th corps the casualties are about
three hundred, which will make q total loss of
four thousand two hundred and nfty.fve in
these commands since THursday last. No
doubt many reported missing will yet turn up,
as some OF our men have bad habit, after a
little reverse, of struggling to the rear. OF
this loss, Gen. Crawford's division sustains the
greatest proportion, he having lost about two
thousand, mostly prisoners.
Col. Tildep. who wss missing shortly after
the battle of Friday, Is safe. He was taken
prisoner, and with Others conveyed to Peters
burg, but during the excitement of loading
them on the cars he managed to elude the vivi.
lance of the guard, and ran into some bushes,
where he lay concealed till chance gave him an
opportunity TO get away, and he came into our
lines on Monday uniojured.
AUGUsr 2i.-Gen. Warren advanced his line
over a mile along the railroad, towards Peters.
burg, yesterday, the rebel pickets falling back
before his skirmshers.
The lst division OF the I'd corps were en-
gagged yesterday all day in tearing up and
burning the railroad as far as Reams' station
and beyond, a distance of about three miles,
while that portion over which the 9TH advanced
was also completely destroyed.
All Is quiet on the lines this morning. except
the usual picket firing.
Nine deserters came in last night, and also
a plumber OF contrabands. Most Uf the former
express their willingness 10 take the oath of
allegiance.

the track between Petersburg and Weldon.
The ties, rails, bridges, culverts, etc., will be

done the Weldon road will ESQ to speak) be a

Meanwhile our forces are demonstrating on

however, an opportunity of showing his con-
