The news from Washington, as 1t now
Stands is OF very exciting and alarming
character. A portion Of the rebe! force
has crossed the Rappahannock, turned
General Pope's right, got in his rear, des~
troyed several trains Of army stores, pen
etrated to Fairfax Court House, and even
10 Vienna, which is within twelve miles
OF Washington, captured two New Jer-
seY regiments. killed 3 number, took
many prisoners, and had q free and easy
time generally. It is also stated that a
1asee rebel force is menacing Maryland
4 large federal force has gone out to meet
those bold scamps, and may be enabled
TO turn the tables, and place them in q
position where escape from capture or
zsnnihilation Will be impossible The
situation now is certainly very exciting.
The appointment of General Mcclellan
to the chief command of the army OF
Virginia, is no less unfortunate than the
disasters We have enumerated judging
by the past, in his case, We can see noth-
ing Lbut disappointment and disaster for
&he future. Certainly the fiery ordeal is
poW upon Us.
LArEE.-Since the above was in type,
ne have received dispatches which essen
t;ally changes the situation a dispatch
from Gen. Pope to the War Department.,
dated 2sth, 10 P. H., details Of two move
nents which he ordered, and which were
eminenty successful. In the first move
mcnt the enemy were completely routed
with the loss Of 800 men, camp equipage
