Information of the plot reached Gov. Smith and Collect: r Clapp, of this port, Friday. They immediately took steps te communicate with the officer in charge of Fort Montgomery, who soon bad its guns manned and ready to give the renegades a warm reception. This scheme ig probably linged with the Johneon’s Istand project. Ample preparations have been made | by Gov. Smith to repéh any attack which may be made upon our borders. oe OUR MILITARY BUDGET. | FROM THE FRONT. General Meade’s army is under marching | orders at daylight this morning.

Wo decline, fer prudential reasone, ‘from entering tate expia- Bations of what it is anticipated thay Gre about to do, or bow they are expected to go about doing & Lee's main fortifications are on the Rapidaa, rather than at Gordonsville, thengh the latter point has recently been considerably atrength- ened with works constracted slong the aps ' proaches to-it, and in the rear of the line of works on the river. We look for little serieas resistance of the progress of our Army of the Potomac if it makes an effort to reach Rich- mond via Gordonsville. That is: this side of the Richmond fortifications. Whether such &n effort will be made the public will seon know. ¥ From the best information within our reach, ‘We incline to the belief that the Governmenthas no intelligence indicating any important change wince the last issue of the Star, in the status of afairs around Knoxville, where Burnside had not been seriously attacked up to Jast advices, thoug® there had been skirmishing within afew miles of Knoxville. The play of the game of ‘war-—the movements now being made—accord- ing to the general impression among military men here, sbout Chattanooga, are destined to exert important influence upon the result of Longstreet’s advance against Buraside, iteelf one of the most hazardous movements of the whole war, and one requiring far more’exten. sive combinations and the occurrence of far more nicely fitting coatingenciés than the pub- lic a'e aware of. So many are the obstacles and so great the difilcalties of an important rebel succese in that quarter, as that we do not share theapparently general apprehension that one may cecur there. Before Longstreet can be in condition and po- sition to give Burnside real battle in the latter's selected position, we feel very sure that his (L.’2) communications and his rear wili be far more clearly at our mercy than B.'s can be at theirs. We expect to hear of Bragg’s defeat, or inglorious retreat from in front of Chatta- nooga, some time before Longstreet can man- age to bring his plans or movements against Burnside to ® head—to the point of a con- widerable battle for the possession of Knox- ville; and shall by no means be surprised to hear a howl of dread, if not of despair, arise from Richmond itself, before shouts over ) Longstreet’s exploits come from the rebel capital. ANOTHER BLOCKADB RUNNER “GOMES TO GRIEF.” A wlegram received at the Navy Depert- ment this morning states that the transport steamer Fulton has captured off Wilmington the blockade runner Banshee. The Banshee wae built at the yard of Jones, Quiggan & Co. Liverpeol, and launched in the latter part of November, 1662. She isa paddle wheel steamer, and is called a steck boat—the plates used in her construction being steel, 4 of an inch in thickness, and said to be equal to iron plate an inch thick. Her length ie 220 feet, 26 beam and 18 in dept! Her bottom is flat, and her hall divided int four water-tight compartments. She has oacil- lating engines, of 120 horse power, constructed 80 as to be under the decks, and when fully loaded drew but eight feet of water. Her builders give her speed at not less than 1s, pos- sibly 20 knots an hours. Though not stated in the dispatch, it is prob- able that the Banshee was outward bound, and that she was loaded with cotton. THE SCUTTLING OF THE SANGAMON, The Sangamon, & second-class iron-clad, which has been at the Washington Navy Ysrd for some time past, and which was to have s:lled yesterday, was found to be in a sinking condition on Saturday night last. By w.eans of the pumps of the ship and suc- tion engines at the yard, the vessel was finally freed of water and kept #float. The affair, which is a mystery, will be investigated by the Department at an early day. SENT SowTs.—Moses Anker, charged with blockade-running, disloyalty, &c.; John W. Dorsey, charged with disloyalty and having been in the Confederate eervice, and Charles P. Sengstack, charged with having been in the Confederate army, were all ordered by Gen. Schenck to be sent South from Baltimore on Saturday last, under a penalty of being treated as epies if they return during the war.
