Ngw YORK, Mar. !. The Hcrdd's Wash
ngton despatch says dispatches received from
Gen. Grant give much encouragement to the
President and Secretary of War. They express
the utmost confidence Of favorable results at
Vlcksburg.
It seems Gen. Grant only asked four or FIVE
days good weather to complete his arrangements
which military authorities were all convinced
would result not merely in the capture of
Vieksburg, but also the rebel army eoncenlra-
ted there.
The Times has the following A private let.
ter from Port Royal makes the following curi-
Gus statements
Gen. Foster took a captain and thirty men
from the tenth Connecticut regiment just be-
fore he went North, and made reconnaissance.
They entered Bulls Bay, North of Charleston
harbor and landing there marched through the
enemy's pickots within full sight of Charleston,
and even within full view of Fort MoulIrie, at a
mile and a quarter distance, so that the officers
from the parapct Of the Tort could see them.
They returned unframed, and think there is
every reason to believe a successful attack can
be made upon the Babylon of rebeldom from
quarter deemed una,salhble.
A accommodating party under command Of
Col. Wyndbam, VIII ch lett Centievile on Fri
day, reached Falmouth yesterday aud reports
having passed through Warrenton, where they
found rs of the rebel cavalry who made their
escape. At Elk river and Licking river
they came upon few men and captured
about dozen. No rebel forces were at Cul
pepper.
The Times despatch says the rebels on th,
Rappahanuock for two days refused to hold
communication with our troops under the usua
flag Of truce.
Gen Hooker returned to Falmouth to-day
Reports from the Army Of the Potomac stat
that the roads are in worse condition thar
