THE LATEST NEWS.

wAsniNoros, May 20, 1868.
Up TO ten O'Clock last night no later intelligence
from vicksburg than that communicated to the
public TO- day had been received BY the President.
Il is not believed that General Grant himself has
recently sent any kilograms to the government
respecting his movements. J N
II is understood that despatch received to-day
states that another line Of defences has been dis.
covered in the rear Of vicksburg, which IL would
be necessary to take by storm. S
Notwithstanding the various rumors afoat, all
the intelligence that 10 in the possession Of the
government warrants the belief that vicksburg
has already capitulated to Gen. Grant. z
The intimate friends Of the President cAaim great
credit for him for having, two months since, Ia
booed the expedition against vicksburg via the va
ZOO river and he then said that the batteries must
be run past and vicksburg be attacked in the
rear. SO much time, however, has been consumed
that an apprehension exists among some military
men that the rebels may have made themselves
80 strong in field works behind the city as TO rem
der some countervailing operations of like kind
necessary before General Grant can venture to
assault with the numbers he has in his army. II 10

and therefore the region may be the scene Of
mighty operations.

by their move upon Helena, to interrupt the nayi.

p1~A brief dispatch from Yicksburg announ
ces that the Yaz0o Pass Expedition has cap
tured twenty six steamers and that the gun
boats which formed part OF it have arrived at
Haines Bluff and were shortly TO begin the
attack. AS consequence, probably, of the
unexpected success Of this expedition, the evac.
uation of Eicksburg is again reported, and this
time with addition that the greater part of the
Rebel force is to 90 to Chattanooga thence to
operate against the Army OF the Cumberland
under Gen. Rosecrans On the other hand.
we have q report that both Union and Rebel
armies are to adjourn the contest TO Port Hud
son; but as the fortiGcations at that point are
understood to be weakest on the north, it is
not easy to see why the Rebels should a aban.
don Vicksburg only to retire upon less defen-
sible position. 1t is, however, reported from
Washington that Port Hudson is also to be
abandoned, and this seems the more probable
in the case of the evacuation OF Vicksburg.

to have inundated hundred miles of Loois.
