for Matamoras with cargoes, and intended

All communication in that direction is

Cortinas declares he will defend MatG-
moras against the French, but as c city

Cortinas to hold it.
Cortinas demands of the merchants of
Matamoras, loan of 10000 in specie
which they refused.
Messrs Zunn and Hurd, acting British
and Prussian Consuls, have been thrown
into prison together with other for resist
ing this demand for money.

no resistance, but left for Chichushua.

FROM WILMINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II.
Gen. Spinner, the United States Treasu-
rer yesterday received letter, of which
the following is a copy:
Please put into the Treasury the enclos-
ed six dollars, the excess paid me as a wit
ness at a court-msrtial jim a neighboring
city, The Acting Quartermaster, know
ing the fact that I had come and was
about to return the same day, made out an
account for me, which he said WAS correct,
and usually paying for an addi-
tional day for coming and another
for going. This sum, in itself, is no object to
the Treasury, but if it be the means of
drawing the attention of the government,
to the like abuses in this department of
the public service, it may save hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Among the successful bids for the new
loan, there were two amt in the aggregate
to over six million, at from 3374 to 375
pemium, and another for 81, 100000 at from
3O7 to 1871 premium.
A party of citizens of NewYork subscrib-
ed together for $4,000, offering 10 per cent
premium-the highest rates of all.
1t will be interesting TO bidders to learn
that the bonds in payment of the loan will
be ready for delivery al the Treasury De-
partment tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Such prompt delivery is unprecedented,
and is due to the arrangements made by
Secretary Fessenden and Assistant Secre-
tsry Harrington.
Previous to the opening of the propo-
sails, the blanks having been printed and
otherwise prepared, so as to require only
the .ignature of the proper officer. The
adjustment of the bids, with view to the
award, was not completed until II o'clock
last night.

About midnight, when all was quiet, the
division was formed in line of battle, and
the picket line being reinforced, was or
dered to advance.
The rebels were evidently not prepared
for any such movement, as they were COM
pletely taken by surprise, and nearly the
entire line captured. They made every
effort to retake the lost ground, but did not
succeed
Our men now occupy the line, and are
securely entrenched.
We took about one hundred prisoners,
while our own loss was very light.
Desultory firing has been kept up in that
vicinity all the morning, and the enemy
evidently feel sore at being so taken by
surprise. Some of them called out TO our
men, saying, that was a cussed mean
Yankee trick, anyhow, but we will pay you
up for it before long.

NEW York, Sept. 10.
The HeTalds City Point correspondent
of the Sth, says:
Deserters and prisoners brought in
within day or two, stats that Gen. Lee
has removed his headquarters from Rich
mOnd to the neighborhood of Ream's Sta
tim on the Weldon Railroad, with the
avowed intention of giving battle If this
proves true, we are probably on the eve of
another terrific contest. Our preparation
for offence and defence are admirable. Lee
will have to elect between allowing us to
retain the occupation of the Weldon Rail-
road or attacking our entrenehed posi-
tions.
The HeraLds Fifth corps correspondence,
dated on the 9Th says:
Yesterday morning at O'Clock, the reb-
els made an attack on one of the advance
picket posts of the Fifth Corps, driving
them upon the line, wounding and eaptur-
ing eleven.
The Heralfs Ninth corps correspondence,
dated on the 7th says:
Gen. Grant visited General Wileox's
front line to-day viewing the recently con
structed works.
A branch railroad to City Point will be
in operation in few DAYS to every point
OF the line, dispensing with the heretofore
difficult transportation of stores over the
lengthy, tortuous and high roads. The
feature of this new road is that it runs up
hill and down, without any reference to
the time honored requirements of grading.
The road is now in operation to the Jeru-
salem Plank Road
The Trib1e1es Harper's Ferry special of
the 9th, says
Our cavalry have been engaged almost
constantly skirmishing with the enemys
pickets, driving them in wherever they are
unsupported by infantry, and retiring
whenever found too many for US.
Early manifests no further symptoms of
desire to attack US in force, but on the
contrary seems Onl " anxious to retire with
the least annoyance.
1t is stated that Averill, in falling back
from the vicinity of Martinsburg, was less
fortunate than was asserted yesterday, but
nothing like disaster or serious injury be-
fel him.
The warm days and cold nights begin to
tell on our men, inducing chills and fever
to considerable extent.
The Worlds Washington special, dated
l1:3O last night, says it was rumored in
tha' city thar Mobile had fallen. The in
formation is said to have been obtained
from rebel deserters, who say that Dog
River Bar was passed by the Mobile feet,
and after terrible shelling the city was
surrendered, the troops having retired to
the interior.
A special dispatch to the World, dated
Washington 9th saws. TntelliOenee from
the front and the Shenandoah Valley
seems to lead to the conclusion that Early's
forces must be reinforcing Lee. 1t is quite
certain Lee is massing reinforcement in
front of the Weldon railroad, believed to
be from Early's commond.
A reconnaissance toward the Shenan-
doah from this vicinity failed to find the
enemy in large force.
