In our files by this arrival we find little of importance or interest additional to tho dispatches received through the Western papers. The Brooklyn City Floor Mills were destroyed by fire early on the morning of the 19th, involving a loss estimated at $150,000. The Herald, of the 19th, gives the following brief review of the "situation" in Virginia and Georgia, as seen from its point of view at that time We give thia morning a comprehensive account of tho important movement of Hood's army npon Gen. Sherman'a eommanieationa. It appears that- Hood struck the railroad at Big Shanty and Altoona, meeting with a bloody repulse at the latter place, and then moved north along tbe railroad to Beeaooa, demanding its surrender.

After eome brisk skirmishing bo waa forced to retire, going towards Dal ton, and tearing np considerable railroad track between those placee. Reports as to hia success at Dalton ar conflicting, Nashville despatches stating that it waa ear-rendered by Col. Jonee without firing a shot Gen. 8herman occupied Ship'e Gap on ths 18th, capturing a portion of tho 24th North Carolina Regiment. Ho also states that tho rebels bad obstructed Snake Creek Pass, to delay his trains, bnt that ho could on tbe next day move in any direction ho pteaeed.

Hood' army ia reported by deserters to number thirty to thirty-five thousand. He had left Lafayette and waa retreating aa rapidly aa poeeible southward, Sherman skirmishing with his rear. The latest new from our correspondent at Chattanooga ia that the rebel are falling back towards the Bine Mountains, in the vicinity of Ta'ladia. Wheeler's division of cavalry is banging about Borne. Comparative quiet reigns in oar army in front of Bichmond and Petersburg.

On San- of the Treasury Fessenden, accompanied by a very distinguished party, visited Gen. Grant'a headquarter s. A call waa also made npon Gen. Butler, and it was the intention of the fentiemen present to visit the front at Pelera-urg on Monday. Tho rebel are showing a disposition to press the right of onr line lying south of the Appomattox, bnt have made no direct attack.

The' rebels still keep np their artillery fire on their friend at Dutch Gap Canal. Tho weather continues cool and pleasant Major Gen. D. B. Birney, who left hie command id front of Richmond a few daya since, on account of an attack of malarial fever, died at Philadelphia last evening.

The Sporting Life (London) print the fol lowing letter from Mace, tho pugilist: Bir 1 take the earliest opportunity of informing yon, on my reaching London thia evening, that I am greatly disappointed In not beine permitted to fight Coburn.

Mr. Brunton suddenly left me in Dahlia on Monday with no explanation. Coburn had every opportunity if he wished to meet me, and would only through his representative choose one referee, a Mr. Bow Use, of whom I know nothing, and who is also said to be a brother-in-law of Coburn.

I am most disappointed, and how on earth oonld it be supposed that 1 should fight, with a man for a referee of whose position I know nothing, and who was one hundred miies sway eves ween proposed I wtsned any re pbwi it. miw vrasa so me act, end Milner even asked in James, of tbe New York ere- wiuu upvvw. mm.M. jaoaes, oz toe new I orl Clipper, when Mr. Smith was objected to, if ho (Mr.

Coburn expressed gat regret that Mace did not put in an appearance on Tuesday at the spot named for the battle.

A telegram, it is said, ha been cent to tho stake-holder (Bell's Life) that Coburn will remaia in town for eome daya in tbe hope that Maee will eome over and settle the matter by fighting. ace Is offered hi choice of ground In Ireland, as Cobam states that ho doe not like the idea of traveling three thousand mile to meet Maee In the ring without that result coming about r- Thi Bete IFrom Bell's Life tn London, Oet. Although tho staxM nacoataiilj await tn decision of Coburn on Maee'e proposal, all' Lou are, of course, off, tho match not having boon concluded between Sunday and Sunday. CsautsestUsm la JHentco It had been stated that Gen. Manuel Dobla-do bad solicited tho favor of tho Imperial Government of Mexico, and bad determined to submit to it authority.

In order to eave his property in the State of Gaaaajaato, of which he 1 constitutional Governor. Gen. Doblado, in a letter written In New. York in reply to these accusations, denlee both the solicitation and Intention attributed to him, and proceeds to show that there waa no need, In Mexico, for him to take tho oath to aave hia property." They have had civil war there for forty years, ono government overturning another nearly every other year during that time, but have no fear of confiscation aa a penalty for nnBuececsfal resistance to tho Government He any In language which I certainly very emphatic It la a most infamous calumny to insist upon saving that I pretended to make an arrangement with tbe invadere to aavo my private property. What I possess in the State of Guanajuato baa been acquired just as legally any property bought by any ono else, politics having nothing to do with my fortune, which haa been gotten by honest labor.

For that very reason I need ask no guarantee at all of tho ao-calied Imperial Government My property, like every other pereone, 1 guarantee i by the civil laws, in vigor in Mexico long before tho country waa invaded. Of all the national property in Mexico, I bought bat ono aingle house, and that was paid for according to the law of reform, enacted tnero by the legitimate government of my country. Tho French intervention haa never dared to derogate them, in spite of the exigenoiss of tho clergy and traitors, because every one know that, owing to them, tho French residing In Mexico have become poeeesaor of more than one-third of tho so-ealled Church properties. Therefor, that person assert what I untrue who persist in affirming that I have endeavored to enter into any Kind of arrangement with the. usurper of Mexico to eavo my fortune, and I defy any one to ahow my aig-nature affixed to any document of thCktnd.

I did pretend to save my fortune, legally ac quired, bat by the only mean honorable a Mexican in these circumstances, viz. helping to keep np tho war against tbo usurper, tbe French and traitors, and repelling force by force to the utmost of my power. I think, by so doing, I have done my dnty as a Mexioan-I emigrated to thia country after the fate of war had proven adverse to me, and after losing nearly all my soldiers. M. Doblado.

Gen. Doblado evidently thinks it as much an insult to Mexican law and honor aa to himself to suppose that honestly acquired property could be forfeited there by an nnaucoessf ul resistance to tho Government President JLlneola Mattes a Speech. Washikgtoh, Oet 19. The President was serenaded to-night, and made a apeecb, congratulating the audience on tho adoption of the new constitution' for Maryland. The following la the President's speech I am notified thie is a compliment paid me by loyal Mary landers residing in this District I infer that the adoption of tbo new constitution for the State furnishes the occasion, and that in your view tho extirpation of slavery constitutes the chief merit of the new constitution.

Most heartily do I congratulate yen and Maryland" and the nation and the world upon the event I regret that it did not occur two years sooner, which I am sure would have saved to tho nation more money, and that it wonld have met all private loss incident to the mens nre but it haa eome at last, and I sinoerely hope its friends may fully realize all their anticipation of good from it, ano that it opponent may, by it effect; bo agreeably and profitably disappointed. A word npon another subject: Something said by the Secretary of State in hie recent speech at Auburn baa been construed by some into a threat that if I shall bo beaten at the election I will, between then and the end of my constitutional term, do what I may be'able to. ruin the Government Others regard the fact that the Chicago Convention adjourned, not line die, but to meet again if called to do so by a particular individual, as an intimation of the purpose that ii the nominee be elected ho will at once seize control of the Government I hope tbe good people will permit themselves to suffer no uneasiness on either point. I am struggling to maintain the Government, not to overthrow it I therefore say, that if 1 shall live, I shall remain President until the 4th of March next, and that whoever shall be constitutionally elected in November ball duly installed as President on the 4th of March, and that in the interval I shall do my utmost that whoever ia to hold the helm for the next voyage shall stand the best possible chance to save the ship. Tan is doe to the people, both in principle and under the constitution.

Their wish, constitutionally expressed, is ultimate law for alL If they should deliberately resolve to have Immediate peace, even at the lose of their country and liberties, I know not the power or right to resist them. It ia their own businsss, and they mutt do as they please with their own. I believe, however, they are still resolved to preserve their country and their liberty, and, in thia office or ont of it, I am resolved to stand by them. I may add that in this purpose to aave the country and its liberties, no classes of people seem so nearly unanimous aa the soldier in the field, and the teamen afloat Do they not have the hardest of it Who should quail when they do not God bless the soldiers and the seamen and all their brave commanders, i Northern News Items Nxw York, Oct 19. A largo meeting of officer of National Banks waa held at the Cnstom-Honso to-day with closed doom It was rumored, however, that it object was a new movement against the State banks.

Nxw York, Oct 19 The World's Washington special says it I currently reported that Gen. Sberidan will shortly supersede Gen. Meade in tho command of the army of the Po tomac Tho reason for the change is said to be some disagreement between Gens- Grant and Meado, a to the feasibility of certain movement southeast 0f Petersburg. This statement is contradicted from another source. Tho Louisville Journal regards the dispatch now coming from and through Chattanooga to be not as full of light as is desirable.

lt says Tbey give details or unimportant operations, but ar silent in regard to tho main position of tho two hostile armiea. It ia very apparent that each dispatch is worded with a view of evading important tacts la regard to tbe situation. Advicee from an official source received in tho city give a intelligence of movements np to Saturday evening. Tho main portion of Hood' army was than between Dalton and Lafayette, ma retting, with the evident intention of making a demonstration on the latter place Sherman wa in Hood' rear, and pressing him closely. ty Gen.

Sherman, tn his official report of his cempajgn, atatee that Gen. Howard was appointed to the vacancy caused by the.death of McPheraon, by order of tho President Gen. Hooker took offence at this, and waa relieved at hie own request. It is now asserted that Sherman urgently required tho Preidnt to appoint Howard. FURTHER SOUTHERN NEWS.

Mobile JZvening Amother Strike Among the Female Operative at the Confederal Statee Laboratory On- Saturday last the several hundred female employe- in the Confederate States La boratory on Brown'a Island struck for an equality of wagea. The female oporativea are divided into two classes, and their wagee have been regulated accordingly. The young unmarried females, without incumbrance, are paid five dollars per day; those married and with families to support receive seven dollars per day. In addition to this may both claaso are entitled to three pound of floor per week, at fifty cents per pound, and one pound of meat at four dollars per pound. Tbe strikers demand that the wages of the two classes ball be made uniform that both shall be paid aeven dollars per day for their labor, which they contend is little enough at the present rates demanded for food, clothing, fuel and honse rent.

The class receiving seven dollar per diem on a strike, too. axd declare they will not return to work until the demands of tbe five dollar class are complied with. Wo understand that on Tuesday a committee of tbe "strikers" waited on the officers of the laboratory with a statement of their grievances. Capt. Wm.

N- Smith, superintendent of the laboratory, was in favor of acceding to the detrtande of the employee, but Lieut. Col. W. Lu Bronn, commanding, wonld not yield, and yesterday an advertisement of "300 females wanted. to take place of the atriker, appeared in the city papers- Richmond Exsmlafer.

Detertion from the Enemy. 8inoe oar Government have adopted the policy of sending Federal deserters through the lines to their homes, instead of holding them as prisoners of war, tbey have been coming within our linee in large numbers.

At first most of the Federal deserters were foreigners, but for several day nearly all who have arrived within our line ar natives of the United States. From the Valley. There is a report of reverses to onr cavalry in the Valley, tbe particulars of which we have not heard. The affair is raid to have occurred at Edinburg, a point between New Market and Woodstock, fifty-eight miles north of Staunton and seventeen mites south of Straeburg. Sheridan's It is tbe Impression in some quarters that Sheridan, after leaving a part of hi forces at Straeburg, will send the remainder to reinforce Grant The repair of the railroad from Manassas to Strasburg will enable bim to procure hie supplies from Alexandria, and also facilitate the transportation of hi troop to Alexandria, if he contemplates sending them by water to the aid of Grant Tbe enemy has been repairing tbe Alexandria and Orange road, but the removal of the materials from tbe Rappahannock, where they had been collected for tbe rebuilding of tbe bridge across that stream, looks as if he had abandoned the idea of moving in tho direction of GordoTJSville.

Passenger from- Fredericksburg say that 600 Federal cavalry were in Stafford on Monday last, marching in tbe direction of Frederick, burg but aa they were in the upper part of the connty, tbey were probably only a raiding party from the vicinity of tho Orange Railroad, and not the advance of an army. The concentration of a large force at Manassas must have been with the original intention of moving in the direction of Gordonsrille but events in the Valley mayhave eaosed him to change hie programme. We are of opinion that tbo larger portion of the troops under Sheridan will be sent to Grant by transports from Alexandria.

Tbe following ia a verbatim copy of a gen-nine letter addressed to tho military authorities, and by them referred to the civil courts, together with the author, who waa yesterday brought before Recorder Vennard, who, on the confession of tbe writer that it waa a true record of his crimes, sent the case before the First District Court. The writer is really a good looking man, apparently intelligent, and has a handsome and intelligent looking wife. We abstain from any comment, aa. the letter Is not only explicit, but indicates that the mind of the accused is in a different state from what one wonld suppose it to be by his most extraordinary conduct.

Here is the letter New Srpt. 2, 1864, Military Prison No. 54 Barronue street. 1 Capt. Dunham, Provost Marshal Sir 1 have been deranged fur the past few day.

I have not been conaciou. of what I was doing. I beg your pardon for my conduct during that time. I do not kubw, sir, what charges have been brought agtlnat me, but I am guilty of enoogh. My course of lire since I have been in this Department has been such as no man would look back npon but with feelings of shame I bave obtained money ander false pretences from different person, in this city and in Donaldson-ville, both before 1 left the service of the United State, and since.

Inclosed you will find a list of sums of borrowed money which I have not paid, end bave no means of paying. I also inclose list of what I am owing to merchants and others, here and in Don-aldsonvilie, for goods famished on credit, and for other services rendered me. If these memorandas are sot correct it is because my memory falls me. I have nothing else to guide me. I have also written MterSto Major Porter, whom yon superseded, iu be-ball ojf prisoners confined here, and recommending them lo hia clemency, and representing them to be good na loyal men.

when, in reality, I knew nothing at all about them. I bave also used language disloyal to the Government I once served, end have spoken di.re.pectfully of the Commanding General and other cfHcersof this Department. I bave pretended to be a Confederate in order to gain favors. Worse than all I bave been guilty of stealing I took from Mrs. LaPret (at that time residing on Rampart street) the following articles of Jewelry A breastpin containing likeness of her deorased husband, and set with diamonds, a pair of diamond ear-rings, pair of silver tweesers, a gold watch and chain, gold lead pencil and S8 in gold.

These articles I mutilated so tbey cannot be restored. Tbe gold and diamonds (42 In number) I sold to a Jeweler on Rampart street, receiving in return 200 in money. Tbe money which I obtained thus I wasted by gambling. From tbe Jeweler referred I took a gold watch, which I pawned for $25 (twenty-five dollars.) I wish yon would be kind enough to report this matter to the Commanding General, tn order that he msy take such action as be may think best. I feel that I am deserving sny punishment which he may see fit to order.

I would also reqaest that I may be transferred to the Police Jail, or such other place as yon may see lit, to await bis decision. 1 am not fit to associate with the persons who are confined here. Very respectfully, Chaklks H. Gsovssos, Tho following 1 a memoranda of some of the money borrowed, and not paid, by the writer of the above, as furniahed by himself 230 from T. S.

It is impossible for tbe good Sisters conducting this Borne of tbe Orphan" to expend a cent on thia very necessary work, a it fa with tbe greeteat diffinuity tbey can provide tbe eccsssries of life for tbe 287 children bow ander their charge. Tbe kindness of the Commanding General, through CoL Holablrd, has frequently been their only resource to preserve their helpless chsrse from tbe pangs of hunsvr.
