Grant—All Quiet up to Thursday. A letter from the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac says: “Inactivity still reigns in this department, exeept the ordinary amount of exchanges between the pickets and some of the batte- ries. “The enemy, a day or two since, com- menced the erection of a new work,a short distance south of the Crater, but its progress is very slow, Owing to the accuracy with which our gunners throw mortar shells into thele midst whenever they show themselves at work. «Casualties continue to occur daily along the picket line, and stray shots frequently reach those far in the rear of the breastworks, sometimes inflicting fatal wounds. «Gen. Burnside reached City Point this af- ternoon, on & visit to hia old corps. He called on Gen. Grant, and afterwards proceeded to the tront by a special car. “All was quiet along the lines on Thursday mor.ing.” FROM PORT ROYAL, S.

We find the fellowing dispatch in the New York Herald: HEADQUARTERS NINETEENTH ARMY Corps, Noy. 16, 1s64.—The wily, persevering Early, surprised and bafiled by the celerity and ekilfulnees of Gen. Sheridan’s movements, is again in full retreat towards Staunton with his whole force, and we have probably heard the last of him and his army in the valley, for the winter at leaet. Deserters who came in last night state that the rebel force which was encamped near Fisher’s Hill, broke camp Sunday mornirg, leaving only a slight picket force along Cedar Creek, which was withdrawn during Sunday night. nmmy dispatch of yesterday I stated that the strength of Early’s force was estimated at about twenty thousand. It was greater. He had not less than from twenty-five thousand to thirty thousand men of all arms of the ser- vice. Several thousand of his men were un- armed conscripts, whom he hoped to arm with captured muskets, He did not have much ar- tillery. In the early skirmish on Saturday the rebel Lieut. Col. Thos. Marshall, a grandson of Chief Justice Marshall, was killed within a mile of his residence. The rebels also lost other val- uable officers in the affair. Quite a number of disloyal women from Win- chester passed through the lines this morning on their way South. They are charged with corresponding with the enemy by the under- ground line. Our losses in the cavalry brush of Saturday will amount to about 170. The enemy’s loss in killed, wounded and prisoners is more than double that number. Over 150 ers were taken. The rebel Gen. Lomax lost several of his staff officers killed and wounded. The body of his adjutant general, Lieut. Col. Har- vey, fell into our bands. Prisoners say that Gen. Wickham, commanding a brigade in Lo- max’s division, Was severely wounded, ABREST oF FoRGERS In New YORK.—A number of persons were arrested in New York on Wednesday last, charged with forging checks upon banks im that city, Newark, Jersey city, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash- ington, and other cities; the said forgeries amounting to £200,000.

We bave been in ion, for some time past, oi high!y interesting and importantin mation derived from Havané, in regard to a proposed rebel plan for capturing American serger steamers upon ibe Pacific ocean, Hitherto we have refrained from giving the facts publicity, lesta premature announcement. should tend to deteat measures that had been taken to frustrate the plot, and arrest the par- ties thereto. Now that any danger of tbat sort is over, we are at liberty to show how narrow~ ly we have escaped the necessity of recording another Roanoke affair, only on a larger mn the waters of the Pacific. he details of the plot were consummated at Havana some time since, under the approval of S R. Maulory, the Confederate Secre' of the Navy. Its leader and manager was Thos. A. Hogg, holding a commission in the rebel D&vy Gs master, who, with a party of from six- teen to twenty men, left Havana for Panama, New Grenada, the last of September or early in October, for the purpose of geiting on board the Panama RR. Co.'s fine steamer Gua! mala, seizing her at sea, and then using her a pirate vessel to capture steamers of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, plying be- tween Panama and San Francisco, The party were all well armed, anc abundantly supplied with ammunition concealed in their baggage. They were to take passage on the Guatemala for aifferent Central American ports, so as not to excite suspicion. Hogg was to go on board first, carrying his baggage, which was to con- tain nothing suspicious. If it was notsearched, the followers were to convey on board their trunks subsequently, with the arms and am~ Munition concealed in them. The seizure of the vessel was not to be at- tempted until she had gottoa print opon the Central American coast, some 200 miles from Panama, there there was no danger of falling in with a crniser, or withany craft that could give notice of the change of command ot the Guatemala when it had been effected. No serious difficulty was apprehended in taking postession of the Guatemala, as her officers Were not likely to anticipate any danger, and wereexpected to be found entiely off their guard and without the means of resistance in their bands. The Guatemaia carries 2 guns for her own protection {rom privateers. Relying upon these for offensive purposes, the pirates then proposed to cruise for the passenger and spe- cie-esrrying steamers of the California trade, until they bad captured atleast one of them, with which, prooahly, they would have es- tayedatrip across the Pacific to East ingie waters, provided they could obtain tae neces- tory coal by capture efsome cneof the colliers constantly engaged in carrying steamer sup- plies of fuel to Central American ports, Pana- ma, Acapulco, San Juan del Sur and Saa- Francisco. Ultimately the consp rators hoped to follow up their success by proceeding, in the Guatemsla, tothe coast of Northern Cal- ifornia, and there making a raid against Ben Haslloday’s line of steamers, between San- Francisco, Oregon ard British Colombia. Fortunately, the scheme was discovered by some means, and information must bave been sent directirom Havana to the Isthmus, in time to frustate the execution, on private in- formation from Panama, that the parties known to be implicated were allthere and at Atpinwall, as late as the 4th of this month,and were known to the United States Consuls at both places, to the Commanders of the Panama. Railroad Company's steamers, and to the Uni- ted States Naval Commander in the port of Parama. It appears that the desperadoes ar- rived toolate for the Guatemala—a portion of them having gone to Aspinwall via St. Thom- as. The Guatemala sailed on the 25th of Oc- tober. The next Panama Railroad steamer for Central American ports was the Salvador, to sail on the 1(th instant, and it was understood at Panama’ that the piratical party were to take passage in her. If they did so, they were promptly arrested after their arrival on board, every ariangement having been made for that purpose. Nothing can have prevented their capture, probably, unless the factshajl have leaked out at Panama that they were suspect- ed; in which event, of course, they would not be likely to place themselvs under the Ameri- can flag, where their seizure would be free from international embarrassment. Master Hogg, (sometimes called Egerton,) we understand, is a native of Baltimore, who has lived some time in New Orleans. His chief officer isa man named Bradshaw, who claims to bave once been & commander of the Guatemala. Edward J. Norville, a native of Baltimore but row of Mobile, is Hogg’s Mas- ter; William Black, of New Orleans, is Parser; | Edward Swain, of New Orleans, Midshipman: Thomas Reynolds, of New Orleans, Master's Mate; John Hiddle, (alias Smith,) is Engineer; Timothy O'Grady and George March, of New York, ure Quartermasters: and among the crew are Robert Lyo-s, and men by the name of Higgins, Stoddard and Sullivan. We ho to hear, by the next arrival from the Isthmus, that all tbe abovenamed parties, and some whore names we have not given, are safe on board an American cruiser at Panama—un- less, indeed, they arrive here in charge of U. S. cfficers, simultaneously with the announce- mept of their capture.
