Inactivity still prevails in this army,
with the exception of the ordinary amount
Of exchanges between the pisksts and the

The enemy, day or two ago, commenc-

Casualties continue to occur daily along

a case Is now under examination In Al
bsny, New York, which shows what tri-
vial circumstances lead to the detection Of
the secret murderer. Owen Thompson, q
cattle dealer of New York, accustomed TO
purchase in the Albany Market, usually
crrries on his person $4,000 or 81, 600 on
his visits there. On the 18th Of Septem-
Der he hsd been engaged sll day at West
Albany, but had made no purchases. He
went out in the evening with q stranger TO
look at some cattle that had come from Sa-
rstoga, and were placed in the most re-
mote pens in the market. Next day At
sunrise he was found dying, his head broken
with q slung shot, it Is supposed; his
money, 81, 500, and & check for So, 200,
gone. Who had done the deed 2 who
was the stranger that had taken Thompson
of TO show him the eattlel A man with
slOuched hat had been seen with Thomp-
son., He had bantered him about betting,
and offered to stake thousands upon Lin
coins election. Thompson offered to put
up any amount on the other side. He
produced his wellstufFed wallet, and it was
noticed the stranger stuck to him all day
after this.
One of the drovers, Center, of Tnbe'5
Hill, Tecollected the man who had asked
him, "Didn't you keep bar somewherss2
HsvntI seen you before?7 But though
the magistrates Of Albany offered a reward
of $500, and the drovers added $4,000 to
it, there was no clue to the murderer. A
month sfterwsrd, as the dTover Center was
riding in the cars 10 SchEsctady. he fell
into conversation with q passenger, who,
after few brief words, abruptly asked
him, Haven't you kept bar someWheres2
Haven't seen you before2" "Yes," was
the reply, "I must have seen you at West
Albany The passenger denied this, but
Center replied, "Yes, am sure, and I ar
rest you as the murderer Of Thomson"
The mans slouehed hat had been replaced
by another, his mustsche had disappeared,
and his dress was different. It was the
question, the accent the tone Of voice,
that were tie marks Of ideu tihcation.
After the arrest, other proofs came.
Gordon, arrested, had bean spending mo
ney recently with great freedom. he had
paid out two bills Of one hundred dollars
each on the Park bank, at which Thomp-
son had dealings. He was a shiftless, dis
honest man. He had carried bad char
acter into the army, and made it worse
there. He was traced to Schenectady the
night of the murder, and probable rode
down to the depot, after the crime, and
took the train. The servant girl, the
black barber, and others, at the Drovers'
Hotel, identified him with more or less
positiVenesss But not upon this single
thread alone did justice depend for its clue.
There was gathering about Gordon a web
woven By his own guilty hands in which
he soon would have been involved. MANY
eyes had watched hin before his crime,
and not few followed his traces after

AN EXPLODED sCHEaIE.

NEW. YORK, Nov. l9.
The Times says; A villsinous scheme
for the capture and destruction of the
steamers on the Pacific coast by 8 gang of
pirates, who concoeted the plot at Havana
under instructions from Mallory, the rebel
Secretary of the Navy, has been frustrated.
They were to be under the command of
Thomas A. Hogg, of the rebel navy, who
left Havana with g party Of sixteen or
twenty men for Panama. They were TO
get on board of the fine steamer Guatimala,
but arrived too late for her.
The scheme was known in Panama, and
it was expected they would take the Saliva
dor, which next sailed. Preparations were
made for their capture, and it Is hoped
they have attempted their scheme and
been taken. With one of these steamers
they hoped to capture the specie bearing
vessels, and then prey on the Pacific com
merce.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF NORTHERN I
VIRGINIA, November Is.
To Hon. James 4. Seldom, Secretary O
Var:
General Breckinridge reports that on the
night of the 18th he turned Bulls Gap,
when the enemy attempted to retreat
About l o'clock, on the l4th, with
vaughn's and Dukes command, he struck
their column and routed it. Several hun
dred prisoners, ten stands of colors, six
pieces of artillery, with oaissons and
horses complete, fifty loaded wagons, with
tegms ambulances, with medical supplies,
were captured.
General Hood is in motion, and his des-
tination is thought to be East Tennessee.
On the other hand, we have reason to be-
ieve, from the best information that has
reached US, that Sherman designs to evac-
uate Atlanta entirely. A large portion Of
his force is reported as already moving
towards Selma, Alabama, and, if this be
true, Mobile must be his destination.
We learn that a transport laden with
stores has arrived 10 Mobile bsy, which
looks as if g movement was contemplated
at an early day at that quarter.
We have upon that hypothesis, the most
singular feature of the war, that is, Of two
large armies passing each ether by sort
of flank movement, and moving in an op-
posite direction.
Sherman may be shreWd banker,
stubborn fighter and prospective candi-
date for Presidential honors, but we ven
ture the prediction that he hss been woe
fully out-generaled this time. We shall
soon see that the situation is increasing in
interest in Northern Georgia.
