NOT TRUE. } The report telegrephed North from this city taken place 2t Warrenton, or that our t-oops +naa fallen back a tew miles, had no foundation infact. Parties who left Warrenton last night say there is not the slightest indicatior of a rebel force near there, nor has there been, ex- cept now and then a squed of guerrillas create a temporary excitement on the outposts. The reported falling back of dur troops a tew miles is also aid to be a camard. Fromaill the infor- mation we can gather, Gen. Grant has his @rmy £o well in hand, and has so perfected his arrangements 2s to scouts 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 Taid 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 Commander H. A. Adams to the command of the Sciota have been revoked, and he is now ordered to duty in the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron.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 to the command of the Talaposa. Capt. W. R. Taylor, detached from special duty at Washington. and awaiting orders. Surgeon R. C. Dean, ordered to special duty at Baltimore CAPTURE OF ONE OF MOSEBY’S OFFICERS. Yesterday, Captain William R. Riddle, of the 6th regiment Veteran Reserve Corps, dis- covered & man lurking in the vicinity ot Lau- rel, Md., under very suspicious circumstan- ces. The Captain arrested the individual, who upon being questioned gave his nameas Lieut. George Taylor, of Moseby’s rebel guerrillas, Taylor was brought to this city this morning, and committed to prison. THE DEAFT~AN IMPORTANT DECISION. The following decision has been made by Mr. Whiting, Solicitor of the War Depart- ment: Wak DEPAPTMENT, WaAsHINGTON Cit y, April 11, 101.9 Cot. J. B. Fry, Provost Marshal General : | COLONEL:—Your letter of the 5th inst. 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 of preceeding under the circum- | Stances herein set forth.” } Inreply,I have the honor tosay that the | original enrolment was made in strict pursa- ance of the provisions of the act of March 3, | 1863, chapter 75, and though some names were | Omitted which should have been added. and | -other names were inserted which should have been omitted, yet, considering the novelty of | the law, the great number of officers acting | urder it without experience, and the magni- | tuce and difficulty of the labor they were | called on to perform, it is remarkable that the } enrolment was so speedily and correctly made. t In order to remove, as faras practicable, any errors in the lists of names, you issued an or- der, No. 101, under date of November 17, 1563, in which you authorized and required the col- Jection of all facts necessary fox that parpose. | ‘This order was carried into effect. Not willing, } however, to leave untried any means within your power of discovering mistakes in the en- rolment, you went beyond the requisitions of the statutes, and ordered printed lists of all the enrclled men to be prepared and made public, so that inevery community the citi- zens might have an opportunity to aid you in the performance of a high public duty, while Pgecting themselves against all liability to ran unequal share of the public burdens. Having taken this precaution, amd having given to all concerned the powerto 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 whonow makecomplaint. 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 lists then prepared. If any over draft is made at the present time, the excess will be taken imto account in ar- Tanging the quota for the next succeeding draft, if more troops should be required. WILLIAM Wnaitixe, = | Solicitor of the War Department.

The troops Seemed in excélient ‘spirits and desirous to get speedily on the sacred s oil. THE LATE CAPTAIN FLUSSER. This brave officer, who was killed upon the deck of his own vessel while gallantly doing his duty in a contest with a rebel force, in the, waters of North Carolina, a tew 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 Fluscer. The writer of the letter thus proph- esies what turned ont 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 aram and knock us all to pieces shortly; mark my words, when they do Flusser will be heard from.” +12 > ____ CONGRESSIONAL. —_—_—>____.

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 wasa citi- zen of Rhode Island, where he had occupied important positions and was highly esteemed. At the opening of the rebellion he was selected as a Jieutenant of the Ist Rhode Island battery, in which he served till the term expired. He came to Washington recently in expectation of obtaining a position under the Government, and itis probable that he would have succeeded. Unfortunately he was addicted to intemper- ance, and notwithstanding his efforts to ab- stain, he would sometime indulge freely; aud the jury returned a verdict attributing the death to habitual intemperance.
