The Merchants’ Bank and Crescent City
Bank having, by their own showing, not such
cash assets as under the laws of Louisiana
would entitle them to continue to be banks of
issue and deposit, are hereby ordered to go
into liquidation, and to suspend all business
save the collecting of their own assets. The
several boards ot directors are respectively
made a board of trustees to wind up the affairs
of the bank. They will issue no bills, pay no
deposits, contract no new obligations, nor can
cel any obligation without a full equivalent in
behalt of the bank, and pay no debts without
further orders.
They will respectively make report under

exact condition of the bank and the changes
from each report.
The directors will send to these headquar

In order that the public may be assured in
their confidence in the final redemption of the
liabilities of the bank, it is further ordered
that the slightest breach of good faith in the
officers of the bank, or in winding up the af
fairs of the bank, will be summarily and ex
emplarily punished.
The United States and all bill holders will
be preferred creditars, entitled to bo first paid

THE I,ATE BATTLES.
The following intelligence is the latest
we have been able to see. The first let
ter ia from Qoueral Lee to President Ha
vis :
Hr \UQUiRTERs Armt North We.-tern Va.,l
Chantilly, 3d September, IBC2. /
llm Excellency, Jefferson Davis, President
Confederate States of America:
Mr. Presidont: My lottcr of the 30th
ult., will havo informed your Excellency
of the progress of this army to that date.
Gen. Longstreet’s division, having ar
rived the duy previous, was formed in or
der of battle on the right of Gen. Jack
son, who had been engaged with the en
emy since morning, resisting an attack
commenced on the 28th. The enemy, on
the latter day was vigorously repulsed,
leaving his numerous dead and wounded
on tho field. His attack on the morning
of the 29th was feeble, but became warm
er in the afternoon, when ho was again
repulsed by both wings of tho army.—
Ilis loss on this day, as stated in his pub
lished report, herewith enclosod, amount
ed to 8,000 in killed and wounded.
The enemy being reinforced, renewed
tho attack on the afternoon of the 30th,
when a goncral advance of both wings of
tho army was ordered, and after a fierce
combat, which raged until after 9 o’olook,
ho was completely defeated and driven
beyond Bull Run. Tho darkness of the
night, his destruction of the Stone bridge
after crossing, and the uncertainty of
tho fords, stopped tho pursuit.
The next morning the enemy was dis
covered in the strong position at Centre
ville, and the army was put in motion
towards the Little River turnpike, to turn
his right. Upon reaching Ox Hill on the
Ist of September, ho was again discov
ered in our front on tho heights of Ger
mantown, and about 5 P. M. made a spir
ited attack upon the front and right of
our columns, with a viow of apparently
covering tho withdrawal of his trains on
the Ceulreville road, and making his re
treat. Our position was maintained with
but slight loss on both sides. Major
General Kearney was left by tho enemy
dead on the field. During the night the
enemy fell back to Fairfax C. 11., and
abandoned his position at Centroville.—
Yesterday about noon he evacuated Fair
fax C. H., taking the roads as reported
to me to Alexandria and Washington.
I have, as yet, been unable to get offi
cial reports of our loss or captures in
these various engagements. Many gal
lant officers have been killed or wound
ed. Os the General officers, Ewell, Trim
ble, Taliaferro, Fields, Jenkins, and Ma
hone, havo been reported wounded.—
Cols. Means, Marshall, Baylor, Neflf and
Gadberry, killed. About 7,000 prison
ers have already been paroled, about tho
same number of small arms collected
from tho field, and thirty pieces of can
notx cajriuioii, L© aidoa juumber oi* vra
gooa, ambulances, &c. A large number
of arms still remain on the ground.—
For want of transportation valuable
stores had to be destroyed as oaptured,
while the enemy, at their various depots,
are reported to havo burned many mil
lions of property in thoir retreat.
* * * *
Nothing could surpass the gallantry
and endurance of the troops, who have
cheerfully borne every danger and hard
ship, both on the battle-field and march.
I have tho honor to be, very respect
fully, your obed’t serv’t,
R. E. Lee, General.
[Chantilly is north of Ccntreville, and
northwest of Fairfax C. H., about Bix or
eight, miles from each. The “letter of
the 30th,” referred to in tho above, was
not received. The Little River turnpike
leads from Middleburg to Alexandria,
and intersecls the Centrevillo turnpike
about a milo this side of Fairfax C. H.
Germantown is on the Little River turn
pike, about half a milo west of its inter
section with tho Centreville turnpike.]
Tho following is tho “published re
port” of the enemy, referred to in Gen.
Lee’s letter:
llEAhq’ns Field of Battle, i
Groveton, near Gainesville,
„ „ Aug. 30, 5 A. M.J
Maj. Gen. IlaUecic, General-in-Chiei :
We fought a terrific battle here yesterday,
with the combined torces of the enemy, which
lasted with continuous fury from daylight un
til after dark, by which time the enemy was
driven from the field, which we now occupy.—
Our troops are too much exhausted yet to push
matters, but 1 shall do so in tho course of the
morning, as soon as Fitz John Porter’s corps
comes up from Manassas.
The enemy is still in our front but badly
used up.
Wo have lost not less than 8,000 men, killed
and wounded, and, from the appearance of the
field, the enemy lost at least two to one. lie
stood strictly on tho defensive, and every as
sault was made by ourselves.
Our troops behaved splendidly. Tho battle
was fought on the identical battle-field of Bull
Kun, which greatly increased the enthusiasm
of our men.
The news just reaches me from the front that
the enemy is retreating towards the mountain.
I go forward at once to see.
We have made great captures but I am not
able yet to form an idea of their extent. * *
John Pope,
Maj. Gen. Commd’g.

Very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t,

The following letter, received at a still
later date, shows what a vast number of
the enemy’s wounded still lay upon the
field of battle—four days after the en
gagements—notwithstanding the efforts
made by Rope’s officers to remove them
nnder the permission granted by Gen.
Lee. The answer of Gen. Leo to this
application of Dr. Coolidgo has not been
communicated:

Gen. Hubert /. Lee, Commanding Confederate
Army:
General: Medica) Director Guilet, of the con
federate Army, and Medical Director MeFar
lin, of the U. S. Army, have just arrived here
front the battle-field, near Manassas. The ac
counts they give are far more serious than mv
previous information had let me to believe.—
Our wounded soldiers, to the number of near
3,000, many still lyingon the field, are suffering
tor food. X have no commissary stores, and
my supplies ofmedieal comforts are wholly in
adequate. With every kindly intention and ef
fort on tho part of those under your command,
the loss oflife must be very great, unless food
and means of transporting the wounded within
our own lines are promptly supplied.
1 know of no source of adequate supply near
er than Washington.
If, General, you can, consistently with duty,
permit supplies of food and transport wagons
lor wounded to pass through your lines to and
return from the battle-field, you will save very
many lives and much suffering. If you cannot
do this, I beg that you will, for humanity sake,
point out some other way in which the need
ful relief may be obtained.
I am within your lines, and, of coiirse, can
not provide the necessary relief without your
permission. I havo the honor to be,
Very respec’y your ob’t serv’t,

Medical Inspector U.a. Army.
LATE NOKTHEKN HEWS.
The Very Latest from Vankeotom,
The Richmond Enquirer has late North
ern papers up to the 4th inst. Wo make
tho fallowing selections:
FROM WASHINGTON.
Dispatch to tho Philadelphia inquirer.
Our loss in artillery, it is estimated,
will be more than thirty pieces. No bat
teries were taken from the Rebels.
LOSS IN MCDOWELL’S COBrS.
The losses in McDowell’s corps is very
heavy. That of Pickett’s division is the
heaviest. Out of his Generals there re
mains but one—Carroll, wounded some
time ago ; Duryca and Tower, both woun
ded last Friday—Hartshuff being the
only one left in command. A few days
will suffice to reorganize the remains of
tho corps who aro now here. The 10th
Pennsylvania, havo but about one hund
red men left.
THE REBEL PEANS.
Dispatches to tho Philadelphia Ledger.
The exact movements of Jackson are
not known, but iho report of his medi
tating a march into Maryland is univer
sally credited. Tho Government is un
derstood to bo fully prepared for this,
General Wool having been despatched to
mand a foroo of 70,000 men to meet the
expected invaders.
In connection with this I will state that
the private accounts from Maryland aro
not such as tho loyal men of the nation
would desiro, for it is boldly stated that
should Jackson succood in getting his ar
my into the State, he will bo joined at
once by not loss than 00,000 of its in
habitants.
Tho aim is said to be to make Baltimore
(he headquarters of tho Confederate ar
my, cut off the Northern communication
with Washington, and maintain a threat
fining attitudo towards that city—tore
suit finally in its capture and destruction.
This is tho talk of the sympathizers here ;
hut they seem to forgot that once the
rebels took possession of Baltimore they
would be shelled out entirely and the
city destroyed by the guns from Fort
McHenry.
Tke Very Latest from Washington.
THE CRISIS—THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE
TWO ARMIES.
Special correspondence of the Philadelphia Inq.
Washington, Sept. 3.— There soemsto
exist au idea that at the War Department
thcro has been, fora few days, a hurry
ing to and mounting of steeds in hot
haste ; but there is nothing of it. All is
as tranquil to the outward world as
though there was nothing transpiring out
of tho usual course of events. A dozen
contrabands, well drossed, fill the aisles
to guard the rooms from impropor calls.
A few offioers and a few civilians tnovo
quietly from door to door.
As we entered a tall, gaunt-looking
man, with a care-worn look, brushed by
us, noticing no one; ail seemed to full
back ; his presence seemed to be an open
sesame; ho soon disappeared into tho
Secretary’s room ; soon the old weather
beaten hero (Ilcintzelman)followcd. The
sharp features of Scigel and the groy
haired “chief” passed from one room to
another soon after- -nothing was said.
What all thought wo would havo given
a good bit to know; what one. of them
said not long before we do know—“that
our retreat, which commenced on Satur
day noon, was caused by our not receiv
ing our reinforcements twenty four hours
earlier, and that it might havo been
saved subsequently had they been man
aged differently when wo were attacked !”
But “arc we safe ?” we asked an official.
“Safe? yes, but Baltimore and Harris
burg are not yet.”
How about tho valley of Virginia ?
Well, our forces have fallen back to th e
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Lees
burg! The body of the Rebel army lies
near Drainesvillo. They must cross into
Maryland for supplies, starve, or fall
back to tho Rappahannock. They will,
no doubt, risk a crossing. Can we pre
vent it ? A few dayß will determine it.
I hope we can, and have no fears for
the Capital. But beware what you pub
lish ; you must not alarm the people and
get up a panic! Wc do not wish to get
up a panic, but think the people havo a
right to know what tho Rebels are doing '.
GENERAL >I’CLELLAN’s COMMAND.

in which the order with reference to
Gen. McClellan has been issued :
