There was ar improvement in tho share market yes- terduy, and every stock on the list advanced in price. Very little alteration took place in the condition of gov ernment securfies, and the demand was light, Gold went down to 2634;, but rose in tho afternoon to 270. Money continued tight and in demand. Tho new Secre- tary of the Treasury remaics tu the city, and his inten tions in regard to the future will probably soon be made public. ‘The great decline in gold kept everything unsettied yesterday, and all kinds of merchandise were entirely nominal. Nearly everything sold was at lower rates, the decline being pretty general. Forelgn merchandise was very quiet. Petroleum was dull and 2c. 8 8c. lower, but nominal, Cotton was also rather lower. On ’Change trade was rather slow. Flour and oats were again lower, while other breadstuifs were sustained by smaliness of available supply. Pork was dull and heavy. Lard and whiskey lower, and freights steady. Groceries were irregular, There has been a large movement in sugar, coffee and molasses recently for export; but tho terms are, for the most part, kept private. Dotween Washington and Baltimore were partially re- Btored yesterday by parties sent out for that purpose. ‘The railroad was feusd to be not as much injured as was Bupposed, and cars put on yesterday.

Washington is perfectly quiet. 3 was said that many important papers of a private and public nature wore seized by the rebels at Mr. Blair's Fesidence, and that General Breckinridge bas got posses. sion of them. If they are ever published we may witness the exhibition of some more dirty linen. There is nothing later from Grant's army. Our cor- yespondents in front of Petersburg givo all the intelli- Bence today of the detailed movements for some days Past. Tho rebei journals also {urnish many interesting Comments on the proceedings there, which are published Jn another colamn, We give very full particulars to-day of General Sher- ‘man’s movements from Kenesaw Mountain to the Chat- Rahoocbee river. Our forces have been accomplishing Botne important results by a series of flanking operations. The morale of General Sherman’s army is reported to be Booed, while the troops of Joe Johnston are described as ‘very much demoralized. We publish a very fine map to {day of the scone of General Snerman’s late operations. | Our despatches from Memphis are to the 9th inst. | An expedition left Vicksburg on the Ist tustant, eom- tmanded by General Slocum. They destroyed the railroad Dridge across the Pearl river on the Sth and Pont tn thirty prisoners. The cavalry expedition were The Movements at the Seat of War Around Washington. There are a number of conflicting rumors about the state of affairs around Washington, and of the position of the rebels; but beyond the fact of a series of brief conflicts at Rock- ville there is nothing reliable. The bulk of the rebels are said to be making the best of their way to Virginia with a large amount of plunder. It appears that Breckinridge and Brad. Johnson commanded the rebels who took possession of old Francis P. Blair’s residence Tacs. enh Sueaitghiab desis. teaek “tab a at Silver Spring. The house was not destroyed, k : 2 “| but used as the headquarters of the rebel com- Vicksburg, and gwould reinforce Slocum. This ex- |. ,aace All the private papers of the vete- edition bad previously been destined to go up ran Blair, including correspondence with An- drew Jackson, Henry Clay and other eminent men, were taken possession of by Breckinridge, and may furnish in the future an interesting chapter in our political history. The house of Hon. Montgomery Blair, Postmaster General, was consumed, with the furniture, as were also the house of United States Marshal Boni!ant and others in the vicinity. The rebels commenced retreating from Silver Spring at eleven A.M. on Tuesday, leaving their dead unburied; were pursued by about eight bundred Union cavalry; made a stand at Tenallytown; were driven back, and fell upon Rockville, where there are no intrenchments or other defences, unless some very hastily con- structed. The fighting was renewed at Rock- ville for some hours, with doubtful advantage to either side. From the latest accounts it is to be inferred the rebels had the best of it, and occu pled on Wednesday night the same ground they occupied the evening previous. They had not all departed from the soil of Maryland, as some accounts have represented, on Wednes- day evening; but would probably soon be obliged to, before the formidable force pre- paring to be brought against them. A severe fight at Edwards’ Ferry was expecied. From demonstrations likely seon to be made, it may yet prove that all this Maryland raid will be turned to account by General Grant, and that his grip upon the rebel capital bas not only not been loosened by the raid, but that it is firmer and stronger than ever. The reported escape of General Franklin is fally confirmed. The narrative of his adven- tures while escaping bears a strong resemblance to romance, but the incidents are probably not at all exaggerated. The war is prolific in simi- lar histories of individual exploits. We have nothing new from Hunter or Sigel. An interesting account of Sherman’s operations is published. Telegraphie communication is reopened be- tween New Yerk and Washington; but the wires are mostly confined to the transmission of official business. The public must be content with the intelli- gence furnished, with the confident assurance that the national capital fs safe. A Day’s Worr.—A movement is in progress among the trade societies to induce the Legisla- ture to pase a bill making eight hours a legal day’s work. Such movements have always been failures, except in regard to the factory children of England. The working men have been successful in all their strikes for higher wages, and ought now to be contented. Before joining in such a movement let them remember the old story of the man who asked too much and received—nothing. the White river. Another force had been operating out from Rodoey, Miss. , scouting the conntry in that vicinity. ‘They had engaged in many skirmishes, in all of which they were victorious, The rebel accounts state that a fight occurred with our forces at Jackson, Miss., on the Oth inst., and that the Union troops were compelled to evacuate the place alter a severe struggle the next day, nd retired along the road to Clinton, But little news of military importance exists in the district of North Carolina. A blockade rupner, worth about $70,000, was captured on the 24 inst. by the Key- stone Sta: MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. By tbe arrival at this port yesterday morning of the Bleamship Liberty, Captain Wilson, we have late and interesting advices from Havana, The action of the local government in regard to the admission or exclusion of newspapers published outside the Islaud of Cuba had ot applied as yet to American newspapers, the Madrid Papers being the only ones excluded. The motives which tay have actuated General Dulce are, that the Spanish Press speaks in not very flattering terms of the parties implicated in the Arguelies affair. Our government comes fn for ite share in the abuse, the surrender being not even thanked for by Spain. On the contrary, the act performed by our government is pronounced as disgrace ful to all those concerned in it. Early on the morning of the $4 instant the fine American hotel at Matanzas, known as the Hewitt House, wae entirely destroyed by fire. Several other houses were burned, and immense damage would bave been done but for the splendid Ame. rican steam fire engines with which that city is fortu- mately provided. ‘The graphic letter of our correspondent in the City of Moxioo, descriptive of Maximilian’s entry into the capi- tal, with all its magnificent attendant displays, is of = most interesting character.

Yet the Chicago Times gives the following charming picture of Chicago virtue:—“Boys neglect school- books and plot surreptitious interviews with equally amorous maids. Physicians hold secrets to-day which, if made known, would couse the community to run stark mad with wonder.” Compared with this, New York is Generali Sherman's Pregress—A Solid Advaned Clése Upom Atantay The exciting military events of the last ten @ays in Northern Maryland and ia the imme- diate rear of the national capital have with- drawn attention from the progress of General Sherman’s operations in Georgia. The rebel raiders in Maryland, however, having as myste- riously disappeared as they came across the border, the public will read with interest the further detaile which we publish this morning of General rman’s progress, accompanied, as they are, by a fine explanatory map drawn on the spot. The last difficult natural barrier—the Chat- tahooclee river—which the other day was be- tween General Sherman’s army and Atlanta, has since been passed. We had anticipated a severe resistance at the several crossings of that stream; but it appears that the infallible experiment of a flank movement not only re- sulted in driving the main body of the enemy away, but in capturing a detachment of some three or four thousand that failed to move off in time. It was supposed at the front that Jolnston’s next move would be into Atlanta, only ten miles distant; but it was not believed that he would attempt to make a stand at that point, for fear of being flanked again. Atlanta, although a piace of great military importance, as the focus of the whole railway system of Northern Georgia, and as the seat of numerous army factories, foundries, machine shops, &c., is but a smal town, among the hills, of four or five thousand inhabitants; so that, with Sher- man’s army, if necessary, it may be completely invested. An intelligent correspondent, alluding to this campaign, says that since getting out of the aud south of the Kenesaw ridge, an has been reaping the fruits of bis masterly movements; that the great superiority of his army over that of the enemy, which is estimated at forty-seven thousand men, bas been made plainly manifest; that heretofore, on mountain tops and sides, and in ugly mountain defiles, the rebels have had all the advantages of natural fortifications, and their loss has been comparatively light ,but that, since getting into the broad, open valley of the Chattahoochee, they have lost five or six thousand men, while we have lost none. Joe Johnston, therefore, driven or flanked from all his strong positions for a hundred miles down from the Tennessee border, into an open country, where Sherman’s superior forces can be brought more effectually to bear upon him, may be considered a dead cock in the pit. Sherman, in securing Atlanta, may move east- ward for Augusta and Savannah, or southward for Macon, or southwestward for Montgomery, Alabama, and Mobile, taking his own time to gather up supplies and establish his depots from point to point. We expect soon to hear of some decisive and comprehensive results from this energetic, still onward and over- whelming campaign of General- Sherman in Georgia. He has fought his way over, through and aronnd the mountains, and, with the oft vanquished and still retreating rebels before him, it may be said, he is now master of the plains of Italy, and can move in any direction he pleases.

This is a new kink. What has he done with those war steamers for which he was ne- gotiating in England some time ago? If he has bona fide sold them to the Emperor of China or the Pacha of Egypt, and got the money; and if, as a bad speculation, he has abandoned his “aid and comfort” to the enemy as a blockade runner, his peace profes- sions may, perhaps, pass muster. In any event, his next communication to us, to secure any attention, must embrace the announce- ment that he has forsworn Jeff. Davis and taken the oath of allegiance to the United States. Without this he cannot expect to at- tend the Chicago Peace Convention.

Tus Two Great Onsects or THE Late REDEL Ramm.—The two great objects of the late rebel raid were, first, the diversion of Gen. Grant’s army from Richmond to the defonce of Wash- ington, in which they have failed; but in the second, which was plunder, they have doubt- less succeeded beyond their most sanguine ex- pectations. From Sigel’s stores at Martinsburg, from Wallace’s at Frederick, from the farmers, maillers, shopkeepers and apothecarics of Mary- land, they have carried off a greater quantity, perbaps, of the very articles of plunder they most needed than could be gathered in their whole country betweea Richmond and Georgia. In fact Jeff. Davis every summer, so far, bas drawn upon Old Abe for the needful sup- phies for the army of Lee, and has obtained them—artillery and ammunition, provisions and clothing, shoes, greenbacks and medicines, niggems, horses and wagons, &c., &c., &e.—to the extent of millions of dollars.

NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1864, CO EEEDEDEDIEDEDEIEEIEIII ee Maximilian in the City of Mexico—Atti- « of Juares, — 5 Wcimttiaa ee fisieee in a tridhphal eaty Into the Mexican capital, In another column we give, from our correspondent in Mexico, an account of all the ceremonies. Over this re ception of their Emperor the Mexicans kept holiday for three days. It detracts a little from the exuberant enthusiasm of this heliday that the people were compelled to keep it, under penalty of punishment, All the stores were closed, all the houses decorated, and all the men and women happy—for fear of a fine. If men distinctly understand that the simple issue is “Up with your banners or down with your dust!” every rag that they can muster will flaunt the breeze. So it was in Mexico, and the fronts of the houses were gorgeous with colored clotb. Also, when the small shopkeepers and not very spirited citizens recognize that they must Mllu- minate their houses, or pay for their obscurity so many ounces of silver, they light up with energy, and express with the emphatic bril- Tiancy of a pound of tallow candles how little they like to’be fined. And Maximilian, in view of so much decoration, and of such a blaze of lights, must have been a fool if he did not see how happy the people were that he, the only man in the world fit to rule them, bad come to do it. Max'nnilian, Emperor, ete., was “profoundly moved by the enthusiastic reception,” and saluted the Mexicans with the “warmth of one who has identified his faith with theirs.” Attempts were made to cut down the triumphal arches on the day of his reception, end it was thought wise to keep all the troops that the empire musters under arms all the time. Therefore, in all the excitement of his arrival in Mexico, the Emperor did not forget that there was a liberal party there, as his propo- sition for a conference with its leaders indi- cates, Juarez is sustained by the greater num- ber of the Mexican States. There are nine thou- send men under Porfirio Diaz, in Oajaca, and five thousand under Doblado, in New Leon. None of these men saw the illumination, and they do not believe that Maximilian was chosen by the Mexican people. Te proposed to Juarez and the other leaders that they should give up the cause of the people and take positions under the empire; invited them to meet him in Mexico and talk about it, and pledged his “faith and honor’ for their safety. He made an appeal to their emotions; told them how far he had come just torule them; reproached them with what he had left for their sakes, and “only in obedience to the spontaneous call of a nation which fixes in him the bappiness of its future.” And he— an Emperor—there by the “spontaneous call of anation,” asks the larger part of that nation to lay down the arma it bas taken up against him. Juarez ‘‘admires the generosity” that drew Maximilian to Mexico; pronounces the sponta- neous call “a ridiculous farce, unworthy to be seriously considered by an honest and decent man;” declares that he cannot confide in the faith and honor of “an agent of Napoleon, the perjured,” and announces his determination to keep inviolate the oath he swore as President of the republic. He closes his answer with a piece of grand calmness, reminding Maximilian how easy it is to be an illustrious rogue, and how contemptible such animals appear in his- tory. Another of the leaders answered the Emperor by ordering the execution of his emissary; but the order was not carried out. Maximilian doubtless begins to see bis diffi- culties. He is finding out that there are some men in Mexico who did not cal! him to the throne, and is likely to find out that they are the best men there. He will perceive soon that Le bas been made use of by Napoleon only as a means to enable that crafty sovereign to get out of the Mexican muddle. He will see that Napoleon, having begun a war that he found it hopeless to carry on, desires to get out of it with @ grand coup de theatre in the enthronement of a king, and will leave him to finish, or be finished, by that war. Had Great Britain, when the battle of Long Island gave her possession of this city, announced to the world that she bad conquered a nation, and, ignoring the rest of the country, appointed a sovereign, he would have had a stormy time of it; and the position of Maximilian is somewhat analogous to what the position of such a sovereign would have been. He bas been placed to govern an uncon- quered country, in which there is a large and high spirited party that regards his appoint- ment as a national outrage. Only force oan keep the country quiet. appointments end other fmportant matters, at We commencement of Lincoln’s administration, than the Sage of Silver Spring, father of the Postmaster General.

Theie Members in Fort Lafayette Are Let Out—Movements in the Party Against Old Abe, &e., &e. ‘The Republican State Central Committee assembied at the Astor House on Wednesday, for the purpose of call- ing @ State convention and settling the controversy in this city between the radical and Weed wings of the party. There was a regular rush of city politicians to take a hand in the settlement of the bitter controversy in this city. Any person who gmagined that the republican party was pulling together harmoniously for Lincoln need- to satisfy himself that the most bitter political opponents that Old Abe bas at the present time are members of the republican party. There were those who had been dele- gates to State conventions, occupying prominent positions tn the organizations in this city, who oponly asserted that they hoped the rebels would capture President Lincoln and hang him; that the thioking portion of tho republican party, and ia fact al but those who have some fat office, enjoy some special patrouage under contract, and those who do not ao their own thinking, have come to the con- clusion that if Old Abe is re-olected there will be an end to the war only by the South gaining their independ. ence and a dissolution—in other words, that the re-election of Lincoln was a permanent and effective dissolution of the Union. This was bold talk for loaders tu the repabli- can party; but, nevertheless, it was (reely aad openly in- duiged in, It was alsostated that the officers of many of the Union Loague lodges in the country had refused to let a vote ‘de takea in their councils, for the reason that they feared Lincoln would be repudiated, The fight between the peace and war democracy does not exceed that, Some three or four hours were spent in this kind of talk and in quarrelling over the diMculties in this city.

Whereas but a short time since an opera troupe could find patronage in no part of the country save this city, we now see both Italian and German opera flourish in all our large towns, even those of the West. Boston, Phila- delphis, Washington and Baltimore now liber- ally support regular operatic seasons. Concerts are successfully given in all parts of the coun- try, and native artiste are as a consequence ac- quiring extended fame. We are led to take notice of this great increase of patronage for music from the fact that it is announced that the Messrs. Leland contemplate the erection of an opera house at Saratoga. The intention is to make it a large and imposing structure, worthy of the patronage of those who throng this favorite summer resort. We hope this de- sign may be carried out without delay, as it would certainly increase the attractions of Sara- toga and furnish the means for an extended cultivation and patronage of the most delight- ful of arts, Tas Sranwn Press Dissatisrep with THE AR- ove. ites Arram.—It will be seen by reference to our Havana letter, published elsewhere, that the press of Spain bitterly denounces the Captain General of Cuba for his part in the re- administration at Washington in surrendering Arguelles, as thoy assert, in a secret and mysterious manner.
