LUADBBTTER, NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Wasmnorom, July 1, 1663. REPORTS AND RUMORS CURRENT AT THE CAPITAL. There bas been an absolute dearth of miscellaneous or even military news in Washington to-day. It is the calm succeeding the storm of excitement which recently swept ‘over the city. There nave been rumors in abundance, Phe most start ling one te that during an assault by General Grant's fo:ees upon Vicksburg, with the expectation of carrying the works and oompleting the long delayed victory, they were attacked in the rear by the rebel General Johnston and terribly cut up, forcing them to abandon the siege. ‘Tho date of thia report was not given, but up to the very latest poraible dates from Vicksburg, by way of Memphis, it is evident that no such occurrence had taken place. It is true that official despatches had been re. crevived only up to the morning of the 234 of June, but Abe government ageut at Memphis bas tolegraphed within ‘the inst twenty-‘our heures that he had boarded the lam boat arriving from Vicksburg, and that there wan no change in the condition of effairs there worthy of note, The repurted disaster is unquestionably « canard, and probably « piece of rebei gascovade, Apother rumor bas produced the intensest satiafsction among all classes of people here, and it wa pity that their enjoyment should be marred by its denial. It is to the effect (hat General MoClellan has been piaced tn command Of the militia in Pennsylvania, and in advancing to attack the rebel marauders, Of course, when bis army shal) joined with thas of General Meado, be, being the rank ing off cor, will axeume command. This calculation bar produced wild exciiement throngbout the military and civic circles of Warhingtoo; but, unfortunately, it is gronndiess. Sage military critics, who care more for the country than for polities, observed that auch an indirect y of plaging Gen. McClellan at the head of the Army of the Potornac would rob the government of nearly all the benefit of ia restoration, for if he were to be made General tu-Chief, and were to call upem the midiers who have gone out of ervice to rally to the support of the government, there would not be a man of them able to carry a musket held back, and the means of transporte tion at the hands of the government would be Insufficient for the thousands of recruits for the army.
