New YoRK, Sept. l2.
The T'ibune's Matamoras correspondent,
says: The aid wanted by the chiefs of the
Liberal party is legion Of about 10, 900 men
in order to force all leaders to obey the regu
lar Generals and to take and hold some cen
tral point. In my conversation with Trevine
Dillon and others, they dwell upon these two
points.
The liberal forces are now split up into
small bodies, each body operating in a State
When two or three of these bodies unite 4
French force is sent against them. Owing tt
the quality OF the latter, the result of nearly
every fight is in their favor.
A column of 10000 men entering the coun
try now would find the Imperial forces IN
small bodies, all over vast extent of terrific
ry, and would be able to beat these parties in
detail, and drive them from the point they
nold, with the loss of war material
TO raise legion of 10000, one million
OF dollars is necessary to begin with and this
is the great want at present. If this sum be
raised there would be sufficient to arm and
feed the legion until some point in the coun.
try, such as Matamoras, could be taken, and
and few millions raised by reouisition.
A commissioner is at this moment in
Brownsville, with instructions from St. Loda
de Iexana, minister of foreign affairs. to
raise loan of one million Of dollars. then to
raise legion, buy SO many stand of rifles. 50
many rounds of ammunition, six batteries oI
rihed guns, so many rounds of shot and
shell, &c. But the commissioner canno,
raise the loan, and will not do the rest with
out the funds-it would be folly
The facts are these, there lie to be no war
at present IN favor of Nexico-fhe order to
Gen. Sheridan shows that.
lhe Liberal party want private aid from
the United States, and is lost without it. II
100000 to 10000 men can be raised for the
party, 1t may regain power.
The Herdfds Vera Cruz correspondent TO
the lst says the lmperialists were in state OF
intense excitement and joy over The official an
nouncement by Mayor Boysuth, of two Impe.
mai triumphs 1t seems that the rumor which
we nave so often previously had of the fight
OF Juarez and the taking of the Cap,tal by
Maximilian S troops. has at last proven true.
hey entered ON the 10Th of August. The
other lmperiai victory was the occupation of
the @ town OF Herinosiie, place of less than
s,ooo inhabitants, which the Republicans had
previously evacuated. The affair, though OF
no grea, importance, was being made much
OF IN celebrations and iiuminatioDs by the
Imperialists. and special steamer had been

affair is insignificant compared with the sue
cess of the Liberals at Lehuacan.

men OF the city, and that number is rapiaIy
decreasing, owing to the efforts of the Fteed-
men s Bureau to provide all eolored citizens

Lieut.. Clark. of Gen. Howard staff. has
just returned from Harper Ferry, whittier he
was recently sent for the purpose of investi-
eating Freedmen's S affairs in that vicinity, and
reports very eneoaragingly of their prcsen,
