XOT TRUE.
The report telegrpphcd North from this city
night before last to the ?SVct that a conflict had
taken place ?t Warreaton, or that our toops
had lallen back a lew miles, had no foundation
in fact. Parties who left Warrenton last night
tay there is not the slightest indication of a
rebel force near there, nor has there been, ex
cept now and (ben a squad of guerrillas create
a temporary excitement on the outposts. The
reported tailing back of onr troops a lew miles
iB also said to be a canard. From all the infor
mation we can gather, Gen. Grant has his
army so well in hand, and has so perfected his
arrangements as to scontB and signals, that it
would be utterly impossible for any danger
ous force of rebels to move any distance from
the Rapidan without the fact being at once
communicated to headquarters, when the best
laid schemes of the rebel leaders would be
speedily thwarted.
NAVAL CHANGES.
The orders assigning Lieut. Commander H.
A. Adams to the command of the Sciota have
been revoked, and he is now ordered to duty in
the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron.
Lieut Commander J. E. De Haven, ordered

CAPTURE OF ONE OF MOSEBY'S OFFICERS.
Yesterday, Captain William R. Riddle, of
the 6th regiment Veteran Reserve Corps, dis
covered a man lurking in the vicinity of Lau
rel, Md., under very suspicions circumstan
ces. The Captain arrested the individual, who
upon being questioned gave his name as Lieut.
Georee Taylor, of Moseby's rebel guerrillas.
Taylor was brought to this city this morning,
and committed to prison.
THE DRAFT?AX I Ji PORT A NT DECISION.
The following dcclsicn has been made by
Mr. Whiting, Solicitor of the War Depart*
ment:
War Dbpaetment,
.J
WashingtonCit y, April ll, 1SG1
COL. J. B. Fry, I'rocost. Marshal General
Colonel:?Your letter of the 5th lust, has
been received, in which you inform me that
complaints have been made in some instances
*? that the enrollments are excessive, and you
*? request my opinion as to the legal and most
proper mode or proceeding under tbe circum
stances herein set forth."
In reply, I have the honor to say that the
original enrolment was made in strict pursu
ance of the provisions of the act of March 3,
1863, chapter 75, and though some names were
omitted which thouid have been added, and
?other names were inserted which should have
been omitted, yet, considering the novelty of
the law, the great number of oflicers acting
nrder it without experience, and the magni
tude and difficulty of the labor they were
called on to perform, it is remarkable that the
enrolment was so speedily and correctly made.
In order to remove, as far as practicable, any
errors in the lists of names, you issued an or
der, No. 101, under date of ISovemb^r 17, 1S63,
in which you authorized and required the col
lection of all facts necessary lor that purpose.
This order was carried into effect. Not willing,
however, to leave untried any means within
your power of discovering mistakes in the en
rolment, yon went beyond the requisitions of
thestatutes, and ordered printed lista of all
the enrolled men to be prepared and made
public, so that in every community the citi
zens might have an opportunity to aid you in
the performance of *a high public duty, while
protecting themselves against all liability to
bear an unequal share of the public burdens.
Having taken this precaution, aad having
given to all concerned the power to have all
existing errors corrected, and having amended
the lists according to the best of your informa
tion, the fact that any mistakes still remain
must be owing to the negligence or wiltul
fault of those who now make complaint. The
law requires you to proceed with the dratt,
and there is no other way for you to perform
your duty than to take the lisL? then prepared.
If any over draft is made at the present time,
the excess will be taken into account in ar
ranging tbe quota for the next bucceeding
draft, if more troops shculd be required.
William Whiting,
Solicitor of the War Department.

Ordert, No. 66.?With feelings of the deepest
wrrvw UM (ftJBOMUuUcg General aauimces ,
the fall of Plymouth, ft. ar.rt the rapture
of its trsllant commander, Brigadier General
II. W. Wessels, and bis command.
Ths result, however, did not obtain until
after the most gallant and determined resis
tance bad been mane Five times the enemy
stormed the lines of the General and as many
times were they handsomely repulsed with
great slaughter; and but for the powerful as
sistance of the rebel iron-clad ram and the
floating iron sharpshooter battery the Cotton
Plant Plymouth would still have been in our
hands.
For their noble defence the gallant General
Wessels and his brave band deserve the warm
est thanks ot the whole country, while all will
svmpathize with them in their misfortunes.
To the officers and men of the navy the Com
manding General tenders bis thanks for their
hearty co-operation with the army, and the
bravery, determination and coolness that
marked their part of the unequal contest.

sailor and gallant patriot, Lieut. Commander
C. W. Flusser, United States Navy, who, in
the be t of battle, fell deed on the deck of his
ship, with the lanyard of his gun in his hand.
Tbe Commanding General believes that these
misfortunes will tend not to discourage but to
nerve the army of North Carolina to equal
{ deeds of bravery and gallantry.

quarters of the Sub District of Albermarle will
be at Roanoke Island. Tbe command devolves

THE LATE CAPTAIN FLUSTER.
This brave officer, who was killed upon the
deck of his owe vessel while gallantly doing
his duty in a contest with a rebel force, in the
waters of North Carolina, a lew days ago, was
much loved and respected by his subordinate
officers. We have before us an extract from a
letter written last December by a young officer
on board the ill-fated gunboat Underwriter, to
his father in this city, which thus speaks of
Fluster. The writer of the letter thus proph
esies what turned out literal truth:
"I do not Know why, but it is generally
believed in the fleet that the rebs. dread him
personally as much as they would an iron-clad,
and as they threaten to bring down a ram and
knock us all to pieces shortly; mark my words,
when they do flusser will bo heard from."

DESPERATE Fl(JHT AKOHIt THlCBtri'KVAS.
In the United States Hotel, about TX o'clock
this morning, a desperate encounter occurred
between Hole-in-thc day, the Chief of theChip
pewas, and Look-around, one of his young
warriors, in which pistols and knives were
nsed, and blood was freely shed on both sides.
From the statements of persons present it ap
pears that the Indians had b?en indulging
rather freely in intoxicating drinks last nizht,
and this morning, Look-around being drnnk,
was decorating his h*?ad-drrss with ornaments
that Hole-in-the-day thontrht were above his
crade. and be told Look-around that be was
not man enough to wear t'lem yet. This pro
voked Look-around, and fca'a^anlted the
Chief, and fired two shots from a pistol, one of
which took effect rear the neck and behind the
right ear of the Chief, and passing aronnd his
head came out of his month. Hole-in-the-day
had a pocket-knife which he nscd npon his
opponent, cutting him across the uose near the
forehead and below the gristle. The comba
tants were not Eeparated nntil each was very
weak from loss of blood. They were taken to
their rooms in the hotel, and proper surgieal
attention eeenred for them. Look around is not
seriously injured, but fears are enterla'ned for
the safety of Hole-in-the day, who, though
sensible, is very weak from loss of blood.
Bills Society.?The annual business meet
ing of the Washington city Bible Society was
held last evening in Wesley Chapel?the
President, Dr. Parker, in the chair.
After the usual opening services and the
reading of correspondence with the Parent
Society, the anniversary was fixed for Monday
evening, May 23d.
A committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Z.
Richards, Jos. H. Bradley, Edward C. Uar
rington, C. H. Utermeble, and I'has. H. Lane
was appointed to nominate officers of the
society for the ensuing year; to report at an
adjourned meeting one week hence.
The following resolution, after some remarks
relative to the desirableness of definite Infor
mation and if convenient of action, was unani
mously adopted:
Resolved, That the members of the Board of
Managers, representing as they dp in person
most of the churches of the city, be requested,
unless rendered inappropriate by existing cir
cumstances, to have the Bible cause presented
and contribntions made in the several churches
before the anniversary.
The meeting subsequently adjourned to next
Monday afternoon, May -id, at five o'clock, in
the rooms of the Young Men s Christian Asso
ciation, No. SCO Seventh street, adjoining the
Depository.
.
<* Laring Koisbbrv.?Last night, Samuel Ste
vens, a soldier belonging to the -id District
regiment, was in Wanderlick's restaurant,
near the Navy Yard, when a Darty of soldiers,
said to belong to the 15th N. Y. Engineers,
rnsbed in the room, attacked Stevens, who was
knocked down and robbed of hi3 watch and
over eighty dollars, tosether with some valu
able papers. Officers Duvall and Harbin were
qnickly on the spot, and arrested Corporal
James Feenan on suspicion of being one of the
purty, and he was taken to the station This
morning he gave information, and officer Har
bin procured a warrant against Timothy Hen
nessey, and on going to the camp soon found
Hennessey and searched him, but duriug the
operation'Hennessey threw away a portion of
the meney, which was, however, recovered,
and this morning on his being taken before
Justice Cull Stevens described the money.
Justice Cull fully committed Hennessey for
court.
Sudden Dkath.?A gentleman named Au
gustus M. Tower died suddenly at the Metro
politan Hotel about 12X o'clock last night. The
case was reported to Officer Lynch, of the
Fourth Ward, who notified the coroner, and an
inquest was held this morning. From the evi
dence it appeared that the deceased was a citi
zen of Rhode Island, where he bad occupied
important positions and was highly esteemed.
At the opening of the rebellion he was selected
as a lieutenant of the 1st Rhodelsland battery,
in which he served till the term expired. He
came to Washington recently in expectation of
obtaining a position under the Government,
and it is probable that he would have succeeded.
Unfortnnatelv he was addicted to intemper
ance, and notwithstanding his efforts to ab
stain, he wonld sometime indulge freely; and
the jury returned a verdict attributing the
death to habitual intemperance.
Wholesale Cow Stealing.? Leander
Prout, a colored butcher, who has a stall in the
Western Market, was arrested yesterday by
Officer Purcell, of the First ward, on charge
of stealing a cow from Michael Kelcher, No.
374 Fourteenth street. Prout drove the cow, it
is said, from the commons where she was gra
zing to a slaughter-house and butchered her.
Cfficer Purcell,-with a search warrant, suc
ceeded in recovering one-half of the cow and
the hide, which was delivered to Mr. Kelcher.
Prout is the same individual who was indicted
by the grand jury, in conjunction with Hester
King, for stealing three cows from the farm of
Mr. Lyons, and tried at a late term of the Crim
inal Court, but by some hook or crook managed
to get clear, although the cows were found in
his possession. Justice Drury committed the
accused to jail for court.
The Rcmobed Lose of the alert.?We
understand that a letter has been received in
the ctty from Port Royal, in which it is statea
that the schr. Alert, ot this city, was lost
during the late stoim. The Alert left here on
the 13th of February, with a cargo of sutler's
goods for Folly Island, valued at over &10.000,
which belonged to a Mr. Worth, a sutler, Tbos.
Lewis, Job W. Angus, and Woodford Stone,
the latter being the owner of the vessel.
The vessel belonged here, and was com
manded by Capt. Beavers, and had on board
when she left here Mr. Stone and Mr. George
Freeborn, of New York, the Jatter going out as
c!erk. The Baltimore insurance company that
insured the roods on the vetsel h we received
no tidings of the loss, and it is hoped the report
of her loss is incorrect.
Fire.?Last night, about half-past l o'clock,
fire was discovered in the d welling of Thos. P.
Simpson, No. 3(>9 Pennsylvania avenue, near
9th street. The fire was in the third story,
where the family were sleeping, and the dan
ger to the Inmates at first appeared to be immi
nent. Roundsman Greer and officer Fuss, of
tbe Third Ward, and roundsman Kelly and
officer Lynch,.of the Fourth Ward, were soon
on tbe spot, and rendered effective aid to the
family. In endeavoring to assist the family
and save iiie property, officer Lynch had his
band severely burned. The firemen were soon
at work, but considerable damage was done to
the upper story before the fire was extin
guished.
Charge op Attempt of Seductiow.?Sat
urday Mr. James Thornton was arrested by
officer McColgan, of the Fourth Wa'd, on the
charge of attempting to seineo the w.feot Geo.
Krebling, and also for threat* ag3 ist G.orge
Krebling. The complainant ancl wile were
marred about two years and were living in
Alexandria. Tbe defendant, who it is said,
bad been seeking tbe hand of the lady in ques
tion prior to the marriage, visited Alexandria
recently, and me^t'ng wi'h Mr?. Kreb'ing
seemed to renew his attachment for her. Af
terwards leaving Alexandria he wrp'e a letter
to her, it is alleged, underrating her husband,
which Mrs. Krebling showed to her hush&nd,
and ibis caused the arrest of Thornton. The
case was laid before Justice Johnson who
di'missrd the charge of attempt at seduction,
and held Thornton to ball for peace.
Almost A Fin?.?Yesterday,about half.past
12 o'clock, as officer Bruil was passing a three
story frame house on K street, between 18th
and 19th, occupied by Mr. J&mes Hazell, he
discovered smoke issuing from the third-story
windows. The officer ran up stair? and found
a large pile of clothing in the corner of the room
on fire, which he extinguished, thus prevent
ing a disastrous fire, as there are a number of
frame buildings in tbe vicinity.

ished edge on both sides.*

cut in the form of a collar, but are MOLDED
ANDSnAPED TO FIT THE NECK.
