WASHINGTON, Tuesday, July 9, 1861.
THE FORWARD MOVEMENT.
The editorial reference of THE TRIBUNE to
our dispatch Of Sunday concerning the forward
movement was founded upon misrepresentation.
We said that Monday was the day fixed by tho
President and the Cabinet for the advance, cot
suppOSng that it would take place at the precise
time agreed upon. Armies are never more
Dunctual than professions. Our other dispatches
indicated that the army would not march SO
soon. When we positively announce that the
movement viii take place at such time, the
announcement may be relied upon. Yesterday
end to-day have been fearfuly hot. 1t is no
tune for travelling.
TIE REBEL DISPATCHES.
Those who have seen Col Tsylor's dispatches
from the Rebels affirm that they contain nothing
important.
Col. Taylor returned, after short interview
with Gen. Scott, TO Arlington House, not long
after midnight, and slept there. He was to have
been escorted beyond our lines this morning.
Some believe that the flag was ruse, similar TO
that resorted to by Santa Anna to hOOdwink Gen.
Taylor on the eve of the battle of Buena Vista.
Davis may have been Informed that last night
was the time fixed in Cabinet for the advance,
and may have resorted to this stratagem for the
purpose of gaining time and getting what infOr-
nation he could about us. This agrees with the
assertion of those who have seen the dispatch
that it related to nothing of Importance, and is at
least as probable an explanation of the affair as
that connecting it with the mission OF Henry
Msy. If this be it's peaniDg, JEFF. Overreached
himself, gained no time and no information that
win profit him.
II is said that come kind friend furnished Col.
Tsylyr with the New-York papers while he was
Of Arlington House, and that he read them with
great ayidity. If he learnt anything about the
operations of the army, the blame win doubtless
be laid on the newspapers.
ANOTHER FLAG or TRUCE.
A boy Just from tae Navy Yard reports that a
boat, with white flag, landed two men at the
EDvy-Yard, between i and 2 o'clock, and that
they were taken into house there. We do not
yOuch for the story.
TROUBLE IN THE GARIBALDI GUARD AND COL
BLENKERs REGIMENT.
A company Of the Garibaldi Guards, 20 StroHg
mtinied last night, on account of their dissatis'
faction with the muskets furnished them, and
deserted. How they managed to get across the
Long Bridge is q mystery, but somehow they
did. and eucamped near the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, with regular guard, at 10 or ii o'clock.
Capt. Chambliss's company of cavalry was sent
about midnight to arrest them. There had been
threats, but the captain, German, ordered the
men TO stack their guns and surrender. They
are now ia custody Of Capt. Chambliss in the
Treasury buildings, where his company are quar-
tered. ...-r
Seventy-one Of Col. Blenkers Regiment are in
jsi for contumacy, in refusing the guns provided
them. Col BIenkers Brigade viii consist Of bis
own and Col. steinwehr's 18th Regiment. al,
NO REBELS AT GREAT FALLS.
The cavalry sent TO Great Falls have returned.
They found no enemy there.
