New YORK, Sept. l2-The Tribune's Mata-
moras correspondent says. the aid wanted by
the chiefs of the Liberal party is a legion extra
ordinary of about 10, 900 men, in order to force
all leaders to obey the regular generals, and to
take and hold some point as a centre of union.
In my conversation with Trevida Delon and
Others they dwell upon these two points. The
Liberal forces are now split up into small bod
les, each operating in a State IF two or three
of these bodies unite, French force is sent
against them, and owing to the quality of the
latter, the result of nearly every fight is in their
favor
A column of 10, 600 men entering this coun-
try now would find the Imperial force in small
bodies all over vast extent of territory and
would be able to beat these bodies in detail
and drive them IN great haste from the points
they hold, with the loss OF war material. To
raise a legiou of 10, 900 men, ore million Of dol
lars is necessary to begin with, and this is the
great want at present. If that sum could be
raised there would be means to arm, clothe and
feed the legion until some points in this coun-
try (such as at Matamoras) could be taken and
a few million of dollars raised by requisition
A commissioner is, at this moment, in Browns
vile with instructions from St. Loda de Tex
ada Minister Of Foreign affairs, to raise Il loan
of 81 900, 900; then to raise legion, buy so
| many stand Of rifles, so many rou2ds of am
munition, six batteries Of rifle guns, so many
| rounds of shot ard shell, &c.
| But this commissioner can't raise the loan,
and will not do the rest with no funds, as it
would be folly. The facts are these There
is to be no war at present in favor Of Mexico.
The order to Gen. Sheridan shows that the
Liberal party wants private aid Of the United
States, and is lost without it. If 10, 600 to
| 10000 men can be raised for the party it may
| regain favor.
The Hera1d's Vera Cruz correspondent to
the lst, says the Imperialists were in state
of intense excitement and joy over the official
announcement by Marshal Biosalo of two I'M
| perial triumphs. 1t seems that the rumor
which we have SO often previously had Of the
flight of Jurez and the taking of his capital by
| Maximillan's troops, has at last proved true,
| they entered on the 18th of August. The
other imperial victory was the occupation Of
the town of Horneasella, place of less than
nine thousand inhabitants, which the Repub-
licans had previously evacuated, The affair
| throughout is of great Importance. ..-.
| A special steamer had been dispatched from
Vera Cruz for France to convey the intelligence
| to that Government of the success of the I'M
/ peralsts. t..ss-
And yet this affair is insignificant compared
with the success of the Liberals at Schu5acan.
The Tribune's Washington special says that
only one hundred and thirty partial .ratiOns are
issued to destitute freedmen of this city, ard
the number is rapidly decreasing, owing to
the efforts of the Freedmens Bureau to pro-
vide all colored citizens of this class witt self
sustaining employment.9
Lieutenant Clark of Gen. Iowari's staff has
just returned from Harpers Ferry whittier he
was recently sent for the purpose OF investiga-
ting the freedmen's affairs in that vicinity, and
reports very encouragingy Of their present ana
| prospective condition He represents, now
ever, the demoniacal spirit of guerrllas OF

at Sandy Hook, on the Maryland side Of the
river None ofour men have as yet been in
Jured although several narrow escapes have
occurred. Guards have been stationed on the
Virginia side ofthe river which will probably
prevent recurrence of these outrages.
The Secretary Of War issued instructions to
the commanding Generals of the Departments
OF North Carolina, Virginia Florida, Texas
and Arkansas, directing them to immediately
muster out Of service all organizations OF col
ored troops, which were enlisted in the Nor
thern States, and are now serving in their re
