It is universally acknowledged by the Yankees at Newbern that a failure of Grant to whip Lee must put an en end to the war, and none believe that he will succeed. The force at Newbern is now very small, composed of only enough men to garrison the forts, with a small number of cavalry to send out occasionally and keep up a show of strengtmy, under Smith, yesterday, on the march from Pontotoc to Tupelo, causing him to burn many wagons.

t Washington was in the hands of the Confederates. If it be true that such a statement was made, it is entitled to no credit, for deserters are not usually to be relied upon. The latest news we have is from the Washington Chronicle of the 13th inst., which will be found in this morning's paper. We learn, in addition, that General Lew Wallace, who was defeated by the Confederates at Monocracy Bridge and fled from the field in confusion, has been relieved of his command and superseded by General Ord. A gentleman from the Northern Neck of Virginia reports that Forts Lincoln and Stephens, which constitute a portion of the defences of Washington, were carried by the Confederates on the 13th. We are not prepared to vouch for the accuracy of this statement, though we see no reason for doubting it. We have it from the best authority that Grant has moved two corps and a large quantity of artillery from the front of Petersburg, and sent them to aid in the defence of Washington.

Washington (search for this): article 1
at it had its origin in this way: That a gentleman connected with the press was informed by a member of Congress that a Staff officer had told him that the Government authorities had a Washington paper of the 13th, which furnished the important news. It is almost needless to add that the news in the paper of the 13th, (given in another column,) contains no such intelligence. Last evening it was reported that a Yankee deserter, who yesterday came into our lines at Chester, stated that Washington was in the hands of the Confederates. If it be true that such a statement was made, it is entitled to no credit, for deserters are not usually to be relied upon. The latest news we have is from the Washington Chronicle of the 13th inst., which will be found in this morning's paper. We learn, in addition, that General Lew Wallace, who was defeated by the Confederates at Monocracy Bridge and fled from the field in confusion, has been relieved of his command and superseded by General Ord.

He refused to take pay for them. At Baltimore, our cavalry was hovering around the town in sight of its fortifications, which are about two miles distant from the city. The Yankees are all inside of the works and have no pickets out, our cavalry having run into town the few they did have out. Gov. Bradford's house which was burned, was within a stone's throw of one of the works — so close that a Yankee hallooed out "never mind, d — n you, we'll pay you for that." To this a ragged rebel replied, begging him not to mind that little bill, that the Confederates intended to burn Baltimore next day, and he could settle it all at once. Citizens who came out of Baltimore said the place could easily be taken by the cavalry then around it, as the soldiers of the garrison were out aiding Gen. Le

The Maryland troops with the raiders were having the finest sort of time in the way of eating and drinking and warm welcomes from parents and friends. The roads in Maryland were in splendid condition, and the marching easy and rapid. Localities around Washington. The toll gate on the 7th street road, where a portion of our forces were on the evening of the 11th inst., is only three miles from Washington. A clergyman informs us that within a quarter of a mile of this toll gate formerly stood the only Methodist Church in the district connected with the Baltimore Conference, which acceded and joined the Southern wing of the church. --It was demolished by the Yankees when constructing batteries for the protection of Washington.

All the old soldiers and fighting troops had been sent a week before to Sigel, and are now with him on top of Maryland Heights. They were sent under the impression that the Confederate raiders were a small force and would not think of going around the rear of the Heights and leaving Sigel in their rear. With Sigel they are now cut off from Washington. These citizens said there were not two full regiments of real soldiers in Washington city.
