AUG. 20. BIN AJJDTeIgHBORHOOD 18TBL1MKCB Hampton's Battery Taken—A Kew Enemy in the Field. A member of this gallant corps writing to a friend in this city, gives the startling news of the dispersion of this battery, evegr gun left in the hands of the enemy -ot-Warrenton Junction. Having some friends in the battery our nervonß grgani* nation yielded to the shock, and we* only recovered composure after reading the letter through, which wound up by de scribing the character of the enemy and the manner of assaalt, which turned out to be Yellow Jackets of the most enven omed order and accomplished sting, and succeeded in doing what Stuart’s cavalry corps frequently failed ,-2p*.. ; ,We : presume the guns have been re covered and the veterans of the battery restored to a healthy condition, s The Regatta at Cornwall. The Hamill and Ward regatta, which was to have come of at Cornwall on the Hudson river on the 28th of the present moa*h, has been postponed until Thursday the Sd day of September, the entries to be made on or before the first proximo In this regatta Hamill and Ward exclude themselves. The winner is to receive Heventy dollars, the second thirty dollars. Ihe course will be three miles. There will blbo be an open race for youths undei eighteen years of age, in which the win ner will receive twenty-five dollars, and the second, ten dollars, the course to be two miles long. The sculling match be tween Ward and Fay has fallen through, but an effort is being made to getnp a sin gle scull regatta, open to all comers There is every probability that the match between Hamill Bnd Ward will yet be made. As Hamill is excluded from the regatta epoken of above, and as Pittsburgh should be represented, we would suggest to the dubß here the propriety of sending on Jo aeph Bash. We think ihßt he would up hold the honor of Pittsburgh, with the best of ‘heir oarsmen. Will the parties take the matter into consideration. Military Changes* . The 56th Regiment P.

Is Ctwithstanding the frequent warnings, the nuisaucM of public bathing still con tinues unaL'.ated.

A number of well executed alterations of Treasury notes have made-their appear ance. The •‘greenbacks” which is mostly altered is of the denomination of'one'dol lar, which is made into a ten. It has an oval portrait of Mr. Lincoln in the cen tre of the left hand margin ; the one represents in the hand top margin that of Mr. Secretary Chase. The ten be also easily distinguished by its having a Bpread eagle on the upper -centre, and on the left hand centre the ngnre of a female stamped with a red seal. One sure way of detecting the spurious ten or fifty is in this WBy: A long the mar gins of the notes are borders, or small parallel lines, in which the denomination of the note is set forth in many figures. In the false notes these figures are obliter ated by green marks, which at o nee pro claim the cheat. Resignations. It is officially announced that Dr. A.

The latest news via Queenstown atateß that it is generally asserted that Maximil lian will accept the Mexican crown. The limes says the rumor was current at Chatham that in conseqnence of the recent menacing news from America, the Government intends sending additional troops to British North America. The Times says it should not be sur prised if something aroße out of the al leged proposition from Jeff. Davis to Na poleon for an offensive alliance between Mexico, under the French protection, and the Confederate States, which would be quite consistent with the French policy. The world might look with favor on such a contingency, but ahsolnte neutrality would be England's policy. The Times looks upon the election of .he Arch Duke Maximillian in Mexico as important, and Bays it will have a tendenoy to a union between France and Austria and to a division between France aud America. The Northerners most be in censed against Napoleon, and the Feder-j ula can hardly fail to come in collision with the new Empire.
