NEW YOEE, Sept. 26.-Hie Herald's
Washington special says: The act of
Congress authorizing the 10.40 loan,
fixed tho limit at 8200,000,000; but
the Secretary of tlie Treasury, finding
that it interfered with the taking of 5
per cent, loan, discontinued it, when
$173,000,000 were taken. There is a
growing probability that the remain?
ing 27,000,000 will shortly-be put
upon the market.
.Mexican Affair*.
NEW YORK, September 28.-From
Mexico we have advices of continued
fighting and uncertainty. The city
of Matamoras is fairly beseiged by
the Liberals, under Gen. Escobodo.
There is a garrison of eighteen hun?
dred men in the city, and the attack?
ing force consists of twenty-five hun?
dred or three thousand men. exclusive
of Corrina's predatory bands. Ef?
ficiently handled, the Imperial troops
should suffice to hold< the city, but
the .Inarists think so meanly ol' Mejia,
tue .encrai in command, that they
assert that, with a little more ammu?
nition, they could carry the city by
storm. . The Republican forces had
captured the little town of Catorzo,
in Leon, and secured musketry and
ammunition. "Moreover,1' quaintly
adds the officer in command, 'the
merchants of that city furnished me
with $18,000 for the use of tho
troops." At the pass of Cubrus, the
Juarists also claim to have defeated
nine hundred Imperialists with two
hundred cavalry, and are further said
to have occupied the town of Cara?
va jal. Matamoras papers make light
of and entirely deny these successes.
Juarez is at Chihuahua, with five
thousand men.
Test On til for Members of ?'ongress
Tile President's Opinion Asked.
WASHINGTON, September 29.-A
letter was recently addressed by some
of the citizens of Charlottesville, Vir?
ginia, to President Johnson, prompt?
ed-by the difficulties which surround
them in relation to thc approaching j
Congressional election. They appeal
to aim for counseh and advice as to |
their proper course of action, being
wholly uninformed as to whether the
test oath will probably be repealed
or modified so as to admit Southern
members.
They have thought it possible that
he might enlighten them on the sub?
ject. They say their main purpose is
to pursue that course which will be
most likely to sustain him and his
policy in the administration of the
Government. The Attorney-General,
to whom the letter was referred, re?
plies that he is instructed by the Pre?
sident to say, ' 'that he has no more
means of knowing wba| Congress
may do in regard to the oath about
which ?hey inquire, than any other
: citizen, but it is his earnest wish that
V loyal and true men, to whom no ob?
jection can be made, should be elect?
ed to Congress." This, Mr. Speed
says, is not an official letter, but a
simple expression of individual opi?
nion and wish.
A Texas lett er-writer says: "Any
man in this State who does not own
four hundred head of cattle and
seventy or one hundred horses and
mides, is worse than worthless. Beef
sells here at five cents per pound,
horses and mules from fifteen dollars |
to thirty dollars for round lots, and !
are within 250 miles of a good market.
As far as the eye can reach in every
direction, and as far as you may go,
the country is alive with stock. Tho
whole market of the United States
might be supplied here, and there
would not be any apparent decrease..
Two colored women and a colored
man were in attendance at the White
House, a few days ago, seeking an
interview with the President, to ask
pinion for their former master--a
man named Williams. Williams is,
or was, at the breaking out of the
war, a wealthy citizen of Virginia,
and at one time owned a number of
slaves.

To the Citizens of South Carolina.
The termination of a sanguinary contest,
which for the past four years has presented
an'impassable barrier to all social or com?
mercial intercourse between tho two great
j sections of our country, having at length
. happily cleared away all obstacles to a re?
moval of those relations which formerly
bound us together in a fraternal union, I
take thc earliest opportunity afforded mc
by this auspicious event, to greet my South?
ern friends, and to solicit from them a re?
newal of that oxtensivcbusiness connection
which for a quarter of a century has been
uninterrupted, save by the great public
calamity to which I have adverted.
It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold
of a business re-union, I should repeat the
warning so often given to my friends-to
beware of all those spurious and deleteri?
ous oompounds which, under the specious
and false titles of Imported Wines, Bran?
dies, Holland Gin, Liquors, Ac, havo been
equally destructive to the health of our
citizens as prejudicial to the interests of
tho legitimate importer.
Many years of my past life have been
expended in an open aud candid attempt to
expose these wholesale frauds; no time nor
expense has been spared to accomplish this
salutary purpone, and to place before my
friends and the public gt-ncrally, at the
lowest possible market price, and in such
quantities as might suit their convenience,
a truly genuine imported article.
Twenty-live years' business transactions
with thc largest and most respectable ex?
porting houses in France and Great Britain
have afforded me unsurpassed facilities for
supplying our home market with Wines,
Liquors and Liquores of the best and most
approved brands in Europe, in addition to
my own distillery in Holland for thc manu?
facture of thc "Schiedam Schnapps."
Tlie latter, so long tested and approved
by tile medical faculties of tho United
States, Weat Indies and South America as
an invaluable Therapeutic, a wholesome,
pleasant and perfectly safe beverage in all
climates and during all seasons, quickly
?xeited thc cupidity of the bonn- manufac?
turers ami venders of a spurious article
Hider the same name.
I trii-t that I have, aftep much toil and
(spense, surrounded all my importations
vitli safeguards and directions which, with
irdinary circumspection, will insure their
lelivery, as [ receive them from Europe, to
di my customers.
I would, however, recommend, in all
rases where it is possible, that orders be
ont direct to my Depot. 22 Beaver street,
<ew York., or that purchases bc made of
ny accredited agents.
in addition to a large stock of Wines,
"randies, Ac., in wood, I have a consider?
able supply of* .old tried foreign .Wines, em?
bracing vintages of many past years, boi?
led np before thc commencement of the
rar, which I can especially recommend to
II connoisseurs of these rare luxuries.
In conclusion, I would specially call the
ttention of my Southern customers to the
d van ta ge to be derived by transmitting
le ir orders without loss of timi', or (Milling
ersonally the Depot, in order to insure
he fulfillment ol' their favors frera trie pre?
