General Grant's Native Modesty. TO THM EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New York, Nov. 18, 1865. Anumber of incidents exhibiting the native modesty of Lieutenant General Grant have from time t time found their way into the public journals of the day. 1 Propose, with your leave, to call the attention of the people to two cases bearing strongly upon this point. ‘The first one that I shall mention is known to the public, ‘but has not received that notice which it merited. The second one 1s of a private character, and never yet found a place before the eyo of the nation. ‘When (whether justly or otherwise it is no part of this communication to discuss) the whole country seemed ready to heap abuse upon the head of General Sherman for the terms granted by him to Jolnston, commanding ‘that portion of the rebel army which surrendered to hi:n, and the President and Cabinet directed Genoral Grant to hasten South to countermand the orders issued by Gen- eral Sherman, based upon the terme of the armistive, the whole land was ready to see the hero of the South- ‘west utterly annihilated, in a military point of view, ‘by the commanding general. Had all our expectations and fears in this respect been fully realized; had General Grant, in a mild and gent ly manner (he could not act ot! wee toward any human being), relieved General Sherman and have taken upon himself the adjustment of the dificulties with Jobnston, or the managing of further Dattles if no settlement could be effected, no person would or could have blamed him. To the surprise of every person, and the relief and admiration of all of us who love Gemeral Sherman, he did nothing of the sort. eager, watching expectation of the people was grati- fied most hoartily by the modest despatch to the Presi- dent, in snbstance, if not the exact words, as follows: “Johnston has surrendered to General Sherman on the samo terms that were granted to Lee.” Thas we were ali enabled once more to breathe freely ; and from that hour, when the great heart of General Grant became the for the wearied, tempest- tossed, maligned head of sherman, the latter resumed his proper place in the affections of the people. A little mind would have seized with avidity such an opportunity for ene glory of another of his own profession. Not so with General Grant. He das no pride, no jealousy to gratify, and it did him more ww reheve his brother officer from obloquy jthan command of his gallant army; hence his action. It stands, however, in history without its peer in military etiqu ‘theut one year since the writer hereof nt an even- ing with Lievtonant General Grant at his home in Bur- Jington, N. J. The General, his wife, his children and I composed the wuole company, In the course of the conversation | remarked that I bad stated to some of my frienda in Philadelphia a few days beiore that he was the only man, beside General Washington, who had ever held the rank of Lieutenant General im our army, and that they were not willing to accept of the statement as ‘Deing correct. When I ceased speaking all was quict, the General making no reply. [then the question directly before bim thus:—‘Was I or wast not correct?”’ This brought an answer. “Yes, id the Genet “you were correct.’ Mra. Grant said, “You have forgotten General Scott, my dea “No,"’ he replied, “General Scott's commission is by brevet." Thus, for the first time, she became aware that her husband's commission ontranked that of the hero of Lundy's Lane and of the Mexican war. Had it not been for this or some other casual conversation she might never have made the discovery. Now, just look at thie meident for a moment. Th case of a man, by virtue of personal merit, being in position occupied by none other but the Fat! hie Country, not to be sufficiently clated with the honor thereof to whisper his gratification to his own wife, even in the priv of their chamber, challenges the world for its equal in modesty.

AFFAIRS IN PANAMA. &e. ke Keo By the steamahip Henry Chauncey, Captain Gray, that arrived at this port last night-from Aspinwall on the 13th inst., we have late and highly interesting and important news from the Pacific, which will be found in the letter of our Panama correspondent. Purser Mallory, of the Chauncey, has our thanks for the prompt delivery of our correspondence. Among the passengers by the Chauncey are Senor Benjamin Vicuna MacKenna, on a special mission from the government of Chile to the United States, and Mr. and Mrs. Dt'lon and Mr. Fawcett, well known members of the theatrical profession, en route frou® Australia to England. ‘The following is the specie list of the Heury Chaun- PROM SAN ¥ H.

Her dates are Valparaiso, October 17, and i'ma, Octobor 2s, ‘There is but little change in the situation of the Span ish-Chilian war, The blockade of the ports of Vaipa- raiso, Caldera and Coquimbo is maintained, after a fwshion, and the Spanish frigate Resolucion has been de- spatched to blockade the port of Taleahuano. Against this, however, the President of Chile has oponed no less than thirty-six new ports—a I'st of which is given be- low—for the free importation and exportation of mer- dise, all duties of every nature having been re- moved. With these ports opened to the commerce of the’ world, it will take more navy than Spain can pro- duce to blockade half, much less the whole coast of Chile, as Admiral Pareja will discover, ‘There has been no bombardment as yet, and to me it appears as if some of the Adwiral’s “firing edge’ had been taken off by the stand taken by the foreign Ministers. and Consuls, and bythe realy determined air assumed by the plucky little republic, The mail steamers are yet allowed to come and g» at Valparaiso, although each one is said to bo the last, Some vessels are allowed to go in and out of tie blockaded ports, and the restriction appears to be t 1, in comparison with that maintained by the United States upon the ports of the States in rebellion. With all this, however, threats of severe measures are still made, and hints are thrown out that neutrals had better remove their property to a safe place at tho earli- est moment, im order to avoid destruction. The bom- bardment may take place, as there is no telling what this hot-headed Plenipotentiary-Admiral may be up to, but if it does oecur, and wanton destruction of life und proper- ty is the consequences, it strikes me that some one will have a bill to pay of no common magnitude, and a war begun that may not be ended for years to come, and in which, for common safety, all the South and Central American republics may become involved. By this arrival the news from Peru gives every evi- denco that matters there will soon reach a crisis; and by this time, in all probability, the matter is decided if the rebetlion is to triumph or be “crushed out.’ I informed you in my last that the army was moving up the coast in the direction of Lama, but that the govern- mevt forces hoped to defeat them before they came within striking distance of the capital. We now learn that they had reached « point about twelve miles from Lima, and in number about ten thousand men of all arms; the government to: are said to be about the same, The “rebels being shut out from all supplies by the blockade of Chile, and receiving no assistance from any other quarter, have become desperate, and must fight or stary hence, if the government troops can be depended upon, a severe battle will take place, and no safe speculation can be made as to the result, President Pezet ond staff have left Lima for the battle field, where he will assume command in person of his army. The pickets of the op- posing forces were skirmishing, and the enemy had made & move to get on the dank of the government army, but was defeated. The next mail will doubtless us the news of a decisive action having been fought, and the matter for a time settled. e ‘The United States steamer Wateree, Commander F. K. Murray, bad left Callao for Valparaiso, leaving, no vessel at that port to look out for American tnterests there should a serious disturbance occur, Gottschalk was in Lima awaiting a settlement of “the question” before giving his musical entertainments. ‘The papers of Lima aro full of verso, &e., in praise of the “great musical artiste,"’ From Bolivia and Keuador there is nothing of import- ance to communicate; they appear, to use a sailor's ex. pression, “holding on to the slick,’ and waiting the course of events in Chile and Peru. ‘The interior of Colombia is again convulsed with revo- lution. In Cundinimarca there has been a rive against the State government, and in the Cauca the same; in the latter State the rebels, in the first engagement, were defeated and utterly ronted by the government purty; in in the first nothing of an exciting nature has as yet taken place, nor from the news received can we forma correct idea of the magnitude of the revolt, In both cases it has been conservative against liberal. MTL, The more the subject iv considered, the more Mogrant appears the couduct of the Spanish admiral, and the more we are convinced that the affair, on bis part, has been for no other purpose than by threats and menacee to compel, in the end, the payment of a large sum of money, equal to that obtained from ern, «Tho great respect enteriained for what is most truly termed the model republic of South America, on account of her rapid progress in every- thing tending to place her high among the nations of the earth, combined with the feeling that she has right on her side, causes the most lively interest and sympathy to be felt in her bebaif by ull those who are not Spaniards and—Frenchmen. The plucky manner in which sho has replied to the insolent Spaniard, and her apparent de- termination to resist hie demands to the last, creates a feeling of admiration at her conduct, particularly when ‘we compare it with the conduct of Peru under similar cir. cumstances, To consider the existing *tate of affairsin all its points, we cannot see how the war can be of vory tong duration, for, in the first place, Spam will not, and annot, land Aman upon Chilean territory that would ‘er return to tell the tale, and as for blockading the const, why, the whole Spanish navy could not doit in a manner that and the United States would con sider effective. And even if Spain were determined to make the attempt, why, she has not the money for #0 expensive an experimont; neither is it in the power of her Catholic y to raise it, Then, again, Spain mast, recollect that Chile is not entirely de- of marque that have been issued will doubtless find many tak #0 the squadrons of Spain will have more than thoy can possibly attend to of in preventing wholesale destruction com- merce, which must ensue, if even only a of these Chilean hornets succeed in finding their way to the high ‘SOAK, Ina long article reviguing. ite cause of the war and the reasons a x by Admi Paroja for his cond tele Crete Sin anne inzon lo, a8 31 the word, ‘rovind ication of Spain's enter rights on the coast,’ alarm was felt, and there was reason for it, AC thay gould be anid to @ nation im which Spanish con bad of Spain, thon where was the assurance that similar steps might not be taken with other republics on the coast, and with Chilo among them?

When the re-assertion of territorial rights Was declared on the Peruvian territory, we felt that Span’s designs were not friendly, "but sinister. Our sympathies have been contrary’ to their m sures, und their plans were discoverable. We have folt that there was danger for us turking in their augmented squadron, We have dared to utter our anxi- eties, We have dared to epeak plainly of Spain's proba- ble designs. Our government has dared to resist those designs in the gentlest manner possible, enforcing non- intercourse in articles contraband of war. Our nation dared to make a stand for American ind] > This is the head and front Of our offending, For this our ports are blockaded, ovr commerce suspended, our peaceful and industrious prosperity broken up, and we ure threatened with bombardment, Let the world, then, be witness, and let God be judge, whether we can be charged with public wrong towards Spain, or with rashly interiering in that with which we bad no concern. ”* On the 4th of October, the time expired that had heef allowed by Admiral Pareja to loreign vessels in Valpa- Yaiso to complete their ‘louding and sail, and it was “thongtt by some of the timorous that when this time arrived the Spaniards would act in the same manner as in the first of the difficulty, and without more notice at one» proceed to bombard the city; but the da came and Passed without chango in the situation, except that very many females, believing discretion to be the better part of valor, sought safety beyond the reach of shot and shell from the * villa'de Madrid.” Ahe people of Chile think now, that Pareja’s threat of bombardment was made for the purpose 0 ng the forei:n population, Whose interests we ery large, and who had so much at stake, to demand of ‘erninent immediate acces~ E rather than with any on of carrying it into effect at once. That residents have not asked anything of possibly, have deterred Pareja : treme meaiures; but the Chilenos be deluded into the idea that because he serious iuten the ¢ kine not not, he will not; for they may, when it is least |, be awakened by a storm’ of shot and shell; niard who has exhibited so much of treachery since his arrival in the Pacitic vill not hesitate to con tinue im his manner of dealing. The Mercurio has the following on this subject:—“Whether it bo that the 18 protests of Ue foreign residents made ar ion on the Admiral, and caused his awakeni perception of the fact that it was impossible to re- his threats without assuming an enormous respon- 'y, which the government of the civilized countries y heavy for him; or, U hat the only tof these threats was to induce a powerlul foreign ure Upon this govermment, the fact is that the very talk of a bombardment has died away. Far from that, The Admiral attempts now to tranquilize people with regard to his intentions, and to infuse the confidence that neutral interests will be looked after, and consulted with the most refined and courteous delicacy, and that part of the city in which their property is situated will not be touched. 1 the utmost condescen- sion to all who have approached him to beg concessions and indulgences, To one man he has granted permis- sion for his ship to come into the bay and remain until orders can be conveniently given; some vessels have been allowed to discharge their cargoes, and others have been allowed to sail to other parts of’ Chile to take the cargoes prepared for them th “The consular body, in order to the opportune posses- sion of the data necessary for their respective govern- ments to present an efficient reclamation for indemnitica- pre: the tion of the loses entalled upon their countrymen, have invited all the merchants to depo: in the hands of the senior consul, George Lyon, Esq, the inventories of their property, so that, the sum total of the interest prejudiced being known, a pro- sment of indemuitication may be arrived at. foreigners and the representatives of their respective nations have adopted thoxe measures and ‘n up that att tude which their position required, our government has not been repis: in lalcing those si ¢ defence uf our country*cal’s for, calculated at once to maintain in full activity the sources of production, and to ameliorate our position by the revision and amend. ment of our jegisiation.”” The following are the ports now erected to the rank of principal ports, that is to say, open to all shipping for the free importation and exportation of foreign merchan- dise and Chilean produce, viz: In the provi of Chiloe—Chacao and Castro, In the province of Llanquibue—Melipulle and Cal- buco, In the province of Valdivia—Rio Bueno.

Exchange bas fallen con siderably, the current rate by thie mail for good bille ranging from 4344. to duagd. at sixty days sight. The bank notes have been very tavorably received by the public, The amount which the National bank is allowed to issue, is one million und a half, and the notes are further’ guaranteed by the Bank of Valparaiso and by the Bank of Don Agustin Kdwards; they are ro- ceived in all the government offices and by all the other banks. Under the law which permits this issue, all the banks are bound to hand over to the government all the gold they may have received on the previous day to the value of the notes which may have been received by the government government stock to the value of one million, at the market price, ia to be deposited as secnrity for the nbtes which may not be taken up at the expira- tion of the term allowed for thetr conversion, With all the circumstances of this new and most fla- grant outrage on the part of Spain laid before the public, it is beyond doubt that the republic of Chile will receive from our people a very large amount of material aid, and the sympathy of ali, It must be borne in mind that Chile is unlike in almost every respect her sister repub- lies of Sonth and Central América, She has always de- voted all her energies to the advancement of the condi- tion of her people, and in developing the resources of the country. — Revolutions and foreign wars have been avoided. Th the arts and sciencen she was making rapid strides, and she stood before the world model republic, but tho taodel gover and Central’ America, Mexico included. Yet in the hour of her prosperity, when extending her railways and telegraph lines, ‘when doing everything within her means to inereago ler commerce. and agricnt- ture’ and to develop her inexhaustible minerai wealth, the heavy hand of war is lad upon her, and that in the most outrageous manner and with the most flimsy pro- text. Here is an opening for those young men of the United States who desire to help « sister republic that is worth helping. Now is the opportunity for some “Guah- ing” to show the eed of Chile that we can and will assist them by ridding their coast, “Albemarle fashion,” of the hated Spaniard and his obnoxious fleet; and now, gentlemen, those who after four years of fighting afloat are not yet tired of the sport, there is a fine chance of showing Spain, by the destruction of her commerce, that she cannot, must not gud shall not attempt to crush Chile, morely asa matter of specula- tion, or for some insult that occurred merely in imagina- ation, There never was a case wherein assistance was more truly deserved than in this Spanish-Chilean war, ‘The plucky little republic is determined that she will not succumb tothe Spaniard. She will do all in her power to help herself, and here we all hope that something will be done outside to help her in this her glorious resolu. tion. And whatever is done we hope will be done quick. ly, ere it be too late, 'yhe poltey of Chile in this war should be, T think, to construct batteries of sufliciont strongth to keep at re- spectful distance the heavy ships that compose the block. ading fleet, in order to afford ample protection to those vessels that might run cargoes into her cor Thechar- acter of Ls fe bepatached oe he, borghebe nag works a plunging fire upon a ship's deck, ne ox from pivot guns, of mortars, could soaronty OF tain elevation enough in her ports to occasion annoy- ance even, ae Sn ee Se te ae with a number of fast vessels, armed with a heavy atonly the ment, of all South guns of long range, to hover outside the blockaders, cut of thelr eu es, and annoy them in a thousand the Pprofitiess: Fen poeaaes (omen ight ti am, Hr y first, that Great Britain and the Ualvad ‘Beaten might have something to say in this matter; and aveond, that it ay be found a game at which two could play; hove all, it should be so arranged that Pareja ‘would be unable to procure coal from the mines at Lota. ‘With all these annoyances and discomforts he would s00n “haul jn his Lorus,”’ and Jisten to argument. rene. Should the rebelliori in Pera be successful, it would be equal to a declaration of war by tho Peruvians against Spain, aud in this case a squacvon of serviceable vessels would be atonce ready to act against Pareja, provided the officers and crews are made of the right stuff, The Spanish Admiral would then tind bis work more than doubled, and his position one of exceeding annoyance and discomfort, and Le will require a reinforcement of the strongest kind to render the position he has assumed at all tenable. But it isso hard a: matter to judge of Peru and Pefhvians, and there is so little dependence to be placed upon either the goverument or people, that it is hard to say if Peru would prove a useful ally to Chile in her troubles or not, The two together would be powerful, but the chances are that Pera in her present condition would prove rather an encumbrance than an active and useful assistant, and Chile might in the end be brought to say, “Save me from my friends,” Should President Pezet be success(ul and defeat the rebel forces, then Peru would be a looker on merely, if not an indirect friend of Spam and Spanish policy, for she has sbown the white feather so plainly, and suc- cumbed so easily to the minions of her Catholic Majesty, that we do not suppose she will fac § out that portion of the arrangement made by the much vaunted Ameri- can Congress, which agrees upon assisting with all the means at command a sister repubhicshould she be at- tacked by a foreign enemy, Every member of that Congress should hide Lis diminished head, or clothe himself in sackel-th and ashes, when he reviews the condition ef affairs in South ‘and Central America at the present time, and as they have been ever sin-e that body closed their session and gave their treaty to the world, for there cevor wasa greater burlesque, a more laughable farce, than that of its proceedings, no} of wich possess the value of the paper they are written on. The next steamer to arrive in New York will, very pro- buably, carry you the solution of the Peruvian question, You will then know what the resust of the revolution | has been, and may see there‘n what prospect there is of @ protracted war With Spau. To those connected with the South Coast the news will be of the greatest import- ance; and I regret that, for their benefit, [am unable at the present time to form an opinion, or express one that can be considered in any manner rehable. . They must wait padent!y and not be surprised at any result that takes place; for, as [have before said, of all uncertain things Peru and Peruvians are the most uncertain. PANAMA.

The amount collected will not be large. Still every one will give his mite in furtherance of so popular a cause. MISCELLANKOUS NEWS. The new steamship Henry Chauncey, Captain Gray, from New York on the Ist inst., arrived at Aspinwall at 10 A, M. on the 9th, making the passage from New York in seven days and twenty-two hours. She brought a very large number of passengers, who, with the mails, crossed the Isthmus the same day, were embarked on Doard the steamship G City, and sailed the next morning for San Francisco. In connection with the commencement of the new line, it may be well to state that some arrangement should be made in New York in regard to the stowage of ma whereby those for Central and South America and Pa ma should be kept at hand in order to be sent across the Isthmus in the first train that leaves Aspinwall after the steamer’s arrival. In this case—the first trip of the Chauncey—although she was at her dock at a few min- ules after ten o'clock in the morning, it was not until the third train arrived here, at seven P. M., that the mails were received here, and they did not reach the Consulate until after eight P, M. Consequently, although the south coast passengers made the connection, the Jarge and important n was left behind, and will have to remain here two weeks, To regulate ‘this maiter, so that in future there will bo no recurrence of it, requires so little time and trouble, that we hope it will receive the attention required, for it is a great annoyance to business men, both in New York and on the coast, to have their correspondence thus de- layed, when its ‘deapaich at the right time could be so easily managed, Will those who have it in their power please take the hint and correct the evil? On the eveuing of the 10th instant one of the sailors or marines of the United States steamer James Adger, at Aspinwall, shot and killed a native. ‘The Prefect at that place at once made a demand for the man, which the captain of the James Adger refused to comply with, and he then referred the matter to the United States c j but, as usual, no Consut was to be found, being’ with bis family in Panama, The next day three despatches were sent across. the wires for him, and it was not until twenty-four hours that hie could be brought to his post to give the matter his attention.

IMPORTANT ARRES’ Seizure of Eighty Thousand Dollars of Un- finished Fifty Cent Currency. THE COUNTERFEITER IN PRISON. &. &e. &. On Tuesday evening last detectives R. R. Lowell and A. J. Otto, of the Treasury Department, succeeded in arresting Charles J. Roberts, an Englishman and one of the most expert counterfeit engravers in the country. The detection of this man has cost the detectives an immense amount of labor, For the past twelve months Mr. Lowell has kept steadily on his track, and has at last been rewarded with the success he deserves. His detection and capture have cost the Treasury Depart- ment an immense amount of money. HIS CAPTURE, ‘The detectives, tired of watching his movements, de- termined to play aruse upon him, which happily suc- ceeded admirably. A young expert bank note printer was employed to see him (Roberts) and make arrange- ments for the printing of the counterfeits in his (Robert's) factory. A meeting was arranged to take placo in a dark corner of Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, when matters respecting the printing of the notes were to be arranged. Accordingly on Tuesday ¢vening, accompa- nied by detectives Lowell and Otto, he went to the place of destination about nine o'clock, and while en Baged in conversation was, after a desperate contest, finally subdued, handcufied, and carried to Raymond street jail, where he now lies awaiting his trial. After capturing Roberts the detegtives, having their suspicions directed to another house in Brooklyn, deter- mined to make a descent, but were prevented from so doing by the inmates receiving the following letter from Roberts, which will explain itself, How its delivery was 48 _ Hot transpired ;— cory OF THE LITTER Mary, please go at once, when you receive this, and tell Louisa to come and see me at once; tell her clean things away.

CHARLES J. ROBERTS. It was directed to Mrs. Loyd, corner of Nortp First and Third streets, Brooklyn, E. D. From further information in possession of the detec- tives, they proceeded to a house in the outs sirts of Phila- detphia,enear the Frankfort road, and found con- cealed there a trunk and two boxes, containing ink, tools, paper, a beautiful press, and all the machinery necessary for carrying on an extensive counterfeiting fuctory. In one of the boxes were found about eighty thousand dollars worth of unfinished fifty cent fractional currency, engraved only on the face, and a large quantity of gold leaf, It was ascertained that about tweilty thousand dollars worth of the counterfeits had been finished and sold, and 18 now probably in cir- culation, Two beautifully engraved plates belonging to the above were found in the possession of a lady who is cmployed in @ millinery establishment in Philadeiphia, and who was always considered respectable. She denies any complicity or knowledge of the counterfeiters, say- ing the plates were given to her merely to preserve for a short time, Since his arrest Roberts has said that had he not been detected he would have been worth in @ very short timo one hundred thousand doilars. It appears that for the last four years he has been continually engaged in coun- terfeiting notes on the various State banks and the Treas- ary Department, but was never before arrested. He was known to few, except counterfeiters, who wished to get their work done. THE COUNTERFERIT NOTES are pronounced by competent judges of money to be so nearly equal in execution to the genuine note that experts would scarcely tell the difference. The chief difference between these and good notes is in the length, which Wil enable the public.to detect them at once. The genuine note will be found to be engraved from a plate about one-eighth of an inch longer than the spurious one, which will render its detection comparatively casy. ‘The engraving is excellent throughout; the scroll werk, however, is hardly so distinctly marked as in the genu- ine, Another discrepancy is in the signature of 8. D. Spinner, on the lower right hand corner of the notes; on the genuine ones the tail of the letter “r’’ is made to terminate at the edge of the plate, and is about one- tenth of an inch distant from the bottom of the engraved part. In the spurious note the tail of the letter “ris made to come directly dowa to the lower right hand corner, and the engraved tail extends beyond the plate on to the white margin beyond, which is not so in the genuine article. ‘The secret division of the Treasury Department ap- pears to be transacting its business so scientifically that every engraver and manufacturer of counterfeit money in the country wali be eventually arrested. Tho great obstruction heretofore existing to the capture of counter- foiters is now removed. We are requested to add that detective Lowell will pay « reasonable reward for any information given him that may lead to the detection of any person manufacturing or selling counterfeit money. He is to be found every morning at nine o'clock at the National Hotel, Cortlandt street, New York. Several arrests have yet to be made in relation to this matter, COMMITTAL OF ANOTHER COUNTEREEITER.

As nothing has been heard of the rebel pirate Shenandoah, commanded by James J. Waddell, since she left the Arctic Ocean, it is supposed that she was on her way to the Indian Ocean. Many of our vessels in those waters have again hoisted the American flag, and it is feared that this buccaneer will reap rich harvest in the pursuit of her piratical avocation.
