ANTICIPATED ATTACK ON THE CITY OF MATAMOROS, . ‘The all prevailing subject of interest and conversation 4m this city and Matamoros since the date of my last de- spatch has been the anticipated attack of tho liberals ‘upon the latter place. Though it is well known thata considerable force under Escobedo 1s threatening the eity, yet the journals there, cither through fear of the authorities or lack of enterprise, scarcely mention the matter, and the wildest and most contradictory rumors are provalent. Yesverday morning at an early hour ‘® considerable firing was heard from the picket line beyond » the outskirts of the city, and a large number of our citizens gathered on the bank of tho river to witness the expected battle. It turned out to be a skirmish between the imperial videttes and a few of Cortina’s troops, who are hovering about the place, No one was injured, nor ‘was the quiet of the city disturbed. Indoed, through apathy, indifference or unwonted heroism, the inhabi- tants of Heroica Ciudad do Matamoros maintain the most placid demeanor, buy and sell, marry and are given im marriage, as though the reign of universal peace had been established headquarters in the grand plaza of their delightful city. ‘THE IMPERIAL FORCR im Matamoros at present is composed entirely of native troops and numbers eighteen a. men. The ad- vantage of position would enable force, if properly bandied, to hold the city against twice its number; but Uttle confidence is felt, however, in the ability of General ‘Mejia, commanding the imperial troops, and the general ‘mpreasion is that if attacked the city will fall. ‘THE REPUBLICANS are stationed at a point up the Rio Grande not far frem the river, and number from twenty-five hundred to three thousand’ men. In addition to these may be rect ned the command of Cortina, who is not recognized either ‘by Juarez, Leon, the republican Governor of Tamaulipas, or Escobedo, as belonging to tbo liberal army, but is re- garded by them as a cutthroat and robber. Still Mexican eommanders are not proverbially particularas to whence their help comes, and should the attack take place doubt: leas two forces would ee Cortina, whose {mstincts are all for robbery aud pillage, is by no means anxious that the city should be taken by any commander gave himself, as ho would be n there. pan ging in his natu sities, He fore holds himself aloof, refusi sodas ocd angen ‘edo or be governed by orders.

OFFICIAL. COURTESIRS, It will be recollected that subazquently to the surren- der of Kirby Smith, General yon commanding the rebel forces at this ‘place, sold a battery of six guns to General Mejia, commanding the imperial troops in Mata moros, and that it was returned upon the demand of General Stecle. Dotbtless, im recollection of this fact, General Mejia recently addressed a communication to Geueral Stecle, informing him of the gale by Shelby to the liberal commander, and claiming Jo be influenced in giving this information’ by a desire to maintain the ex- isting friendly relations between the United States and the imperial authorities. The irony wasepparent. Gen- eral Steele responded, expressing his obligations, and suggested that asa further incentive to amicable rela- tions General Shelby, who hud violated Mexican neu- trality and is amenable to the laws of the United States, should be turned over to the military authorit os here. ‘The result has not yet transpired, News from Mexico City.

New York, Sopt. 27, 1865. In your issue of this date I (ind it stated by your Wash- ington correspondent, under the head “ Hotel Gossip,”” that General Ortega has succeeded in eflecting a very larze loan for the republic of Mexico, based on tho security of confiscated property. Without impugning the motives of the party who gave this pigee of newe—for it seems to be friewdly to the re- public of Mexico—I feel it my duty to say that there 1s no foundation for this report. It is well known that General Ortega’s vist to this country is not at all official, and that he has neither authority nor intention to place a loan upon this market. It is true that Mexico needs money to pay her national troops and supply the necessary means for the support of our national independence ; but General Ortega is not the agent of the republican government to such means.

Thomas J. Payne was killed, his house robbed and his family outraged, at Adams station, on the Edgeiield and Kentucky road. They plundered all whom they caught. Robert Dorsey was hung to a tree and then draggod on the ground until one of his eyes was torn from its socket. William Adams was soverely beaten by the robbers.

Policeman Jones took Mrs. Ould in custody, and told her she must go with him to the Chief of Police, to which sho replied that ho might take her where he chose; but before doing so he went with her to her place of business, in order that sho might lock it up, after which they started down to the Chief's office, On tho way she bogged to see Meade, was taken into his presence, where a’ most affecting scene ensued. Rushing forward she threw her arms ampund his neck, and, with ‘lonate kisses, called upon him to forgive her for what she had done, alleging that his refusal to marry her hadrun her wild and forced her to the deed. Meade, although suffering from pa:n, partially returned the caresses of the wretched woman, Sud murmured, “I do forgive you; but ob Tzzi, why, Why did you slioot me? You say }ve ruined you, and now you've tried to destroy me.” Obtaining his forgive- ness she gave him ono long, deep-toned kiss, and then, with remarkable composure, turned round and remark to the policeman, “I am now ready/ He has forgiven me, and I care hot what will be ‘done with me. Ob! would to God that I had killed myself!” She remained in the cage all night, and on Saturday was taken before Colonel McEntee, Provost Judge; but, owing to the in- ability of the wounded man to be present, the trial was postponed for oue month, and the prisoner committed to Castle Thunder, in default of ball in the sum of $1,000 for hor appearance. Many conflicting rumors being in circulation about tho circumstances which led to the o-currence, in company with another reporter we sought an interview with Mra. Ould, from whom the following statement was obiainod: About seven years sinco Teanie to Richmond from Eng- land; have been married, but am now-a widow. Mr. jo left Alexandria about three years since. I formed his acquaintance soon after he caine here; became very much attached to bim, and — to marry him, both of us swearing upon the Bible that wo would mever marry any other. ‘The restaurant is mine, but the license was taken out in hs name.

Finding ‘that I could not win him back, I became reconciled to giving him up, and being willing to make him happy, lad made up my mind to turn over to him my business and all I was worth, intending to leave the city, that he might be happy. Ho was to bo marricd to Miss H. on Monday night Last night (Fri- day) we had a quarrol, and he left me in a bad humor to go to Manchester, 1 followed him oxt into tho street and him to go back with mo up stairs, as I should be wretched if we pariod Dad. frieuds, He refused to go and ‘started down the strec when I became wild and shot him. I di not know what I was doing till, jast aé 1 fired, I was re- cailed to my senses by his saying, “Oh! Izzi, don’t shoot me.” Pointing to a bruise on hor forehgad, she said that sho had been told that it was y a blow from a briek which Meade thro prevent her froin shooting him again, During the whole of our interview the uufortunate woman was wringing her hands in the most despairing manner, exclaiming that she did not want to hurt lim, knew’ he would not appear against her, and was very anxious to sce him agnia before he was taken to his eweetheart’s, in Manchester, as she feared she would not be pormitt'd to see him there, From another source we were informed that Meade, after he was shot, stated that he was passing by the res- taurant which they had been keeping, on Friday uight, when Mra, Ould stopped him, and asked him where he was going. He told her that he was going to Manches- ter: that he could not marry her, but should marry Mins H., of Manchester, on Monday night, He then started off. whereupon Mre, Ould shot him, Mrs. Ould is a woman of about thirty years of age, quite ood looking, but with a e panes and eyes which indicate the inost devoted affection for those she loved or deadly hatred towards any one who she conceived had injured her. Meade is about thirty-three years of age, and {s said to be fine looking. His injuries are of very serjons character, though pot necessarily fatal. He was taken to the residence of Mr. Hooper, in Manchester, ou Saturday mornin, THE CONCORD BANK ROBBERY. ing Particu}ars-Im ofa ¥ Lady—! and rant § tective: wk, &e. {From the Boston Advertiser, Sept. 27.] We are enabled to give to our readers this morning the following correct and interesting particulars concern. ing the recent extensive bank robbery in Concord, Mara * * The Middlesex Institution for Savings, whose office is located in the same boilding, lost all their bonds which were in the vault of the bauk; if none of these bonds are recovered, however, there vill be but a small loss to depositors, The bank ‘has a large surplus on band, and one of two dividends will cover their loss, We aro authorized to say that the institution is in a good con- dition; {ts bills will ail be redeemed and business con- tinued as heretofore.

At noon the New York city offictais, under charges of maifeasanee in office, with their counsel, beittg present in the Executive chamber, Governor Fenton said he bad given the question of jurisdiction care‘ul consideration, and his secretary would read the concfusions he had come to upon the subject. The secretary read as fol- lows-— we” ‘The objections to the Governor's jurisdiction, and the Fs cape ‘of counsel upon both sides, have been care- fully considered by me, and I am clearly of the opinion first, that the constitution and the laws have conferre upon the Governor full jurisdiction in thexo cases; sec- ond, that the investigation may be heard before mo; third, thatethe testimony taken before me may be re- duced to the form of affidavits and sworn to, as the power is expressly given by the laws to the Governor to administer an oath whenever an affidavit is required in anv procecdings before him, While, therefore, I feol bound te hold that the Governor has the power to remove in these cases, 1 am equally bound by a sense of justice to individuals holding high offices, by my duty to the public and by my own position, not to exercise the right, except upon clear, positive ,and undoubted proot of the charges preferred. THR INVESTIGATION TO BE ELD IN NEW YORK. The convenience and propriety of conducting an inves- tigation in New York was then suggested by Mr. Rey- nolds and Mr. Brady, and, being admitted by the other side, the Governor said he would hold it there, com- mencing next Tuesday at noon in the Governor's Room, at the City Hall. It was remarked by Mr. Brady that if the trials were to goon they must bo based upon some more regular forms than those initiated before his Excetlency, an@ that the accused must have the usual rights and privi- Jeges as to witnesses in crozs-examination. . Judge Emott explained the manner in’ which the trials would he conducted, saying that in any cases where unwilling witness should be cited that measures in their case could be taken when the fact presented itself. Ho also said the mass of crude matter in evidence, com- prising the charges, would have to be thrown asido or reduced to legal form, ina few points, which could bo chosen as the issue to be tried. - _ A ROLAND VOR AN OLIVER. With this conclusion of their visit to Albany the c1y officials retired. It had been well understocd, as etated in my previons despatches, that a deal of canvass would be made of the municipal charges in. thelr pollti- cal bearing. The reading of the Governor's decison was followed by a significant citation from the Executive minutes under Seymour, which were produced, where the deciaion im the case of the trials of tlie Police Com- inissioners was found in substantially the same terms as that which Governor Fenton now rendered. The whole scope of the case was clearly exposed ¥ this significant allusion. Precisely as Acton ‘ennedy, republicans, had been brought before Seymour, #0 the heads of departments, Brennan, Boole aud Deve- lip, democrats, were now arrw before Governor Fen- tan. ‘There was a dead silence for a few moments, when this “Roland for an Oliver"? was prod and the con- versition and tone of the tive officials became at one characterized by an alr of rellef and thorough un- derstanding of each other. ‘Tho procoedin, verure the Governor had been opener 0 oro. the with all the feeling and forms of a trial before the Court of Appeals. It was seenat this point that the idea of equity and of constitutional ex; jon wag absurd. The morits of the caso in revard to Brennan and his thorough and elaborate reply would have the same entertainment as the appomtment or removal of a Custom House rf Indeed, when the parties found themselves at the Dela- ‘van among their republican acquaintances they learned good humoredly whero it was they stood. is affair ‘was all political, and it gave the city officials quite a re- lief to realize that they had not got out of their element upon finding themselves thus arrayed.
