From Washington Pursuit of Mosby's Guer-
ritas-- DISORDERS Shof--Arrest Of Era,ain-
ing Committee.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 81.
Reliable information has reached here that
at noon on Friday last, Col. Lowell, in com
mand of the I'd Massachusetts Cavalry and
attachments OF the 18th and 10th New York
Cavalry, started out in pursuit of the guerrilla
White Col. Lowell found that White had
crossed Goose Creek at Cockereifs Ford, and
crossed the country in nearly straight line
towards Mount Gilead and Hughsville, cross
ing near Balls Mills at IL o'clock on that
day. The trail of Whites men was discovered
early on Saturday, and was followed TO point
near Mt Gilead. Satisfactory evidence not
appearing that White was back on the Snick-
ersville road, Colonel Lowell returned TO
Dover and Aidie TO camp. As the result of
the expedition three OF Whites men were
captured and one killed. Four citizens on
horseback were also arrested under suspicious
circumstances. In some OF the places visited
by Col. Lowell he was informed that White
had notified the rebels that they had been con-
scripted, but no steps, it appears, had been Ia
ken TO force them into the rebel service. 1t
was currently reported at Aide that both
White and Mosby had received orders TO
leave Loudon County, and move nearer 10 the
main body of Lees army. All the guerrillas
that have been recently at home have gone
west within day or two.
Private advices from Virginia City, Nevada
Territory, say additional subscriptions to the
amount of $1,000 have been made there for the
Sanitary Commission. The money is TO be
forwarded in silver bricks of about $1,000 each
This is a good evidence of the mineral re-
sources of thai territory as well as of the lib
erality of its inhabitants.
A letter from the army of the Potomac re-
ceiyed tonight says that many of the substi-
tutes who had deserted were shot in the seve-
raj corps towards the close of last week, and
prompt and extreme punishment now awaits
this class of offenders, without hope of par
don.
DIR. S. T. Salisbury has been arrested and
ordered for trial before a court martial, under
section Is OF the Enrolment Act. DIR. n. III.
Monselis, of the LIST district of Pennsylvania,
is TO be arraigned on similar charges. Sec
ton 10 provides that any surgeon charged
with the duty of inspection, who shall receive
from any person whatever any money or other
valuable thing, or agree directly or indirectly
to receive the same to his own or anothers
use, for making an imperfect inspection or
false report, or who shall wilfully neglect to
make faithful inspection and true report,
shall be tried by a.court martial, and, on con-
viction thereof, be punished by fine not ex-
ceeding five hundred dollars nor less than two
hundred dollars, and be imprisoned at the
discretion of the court, and besides be cash.
Tered and dismissed from the service.
1t may not be generally known that the
causes which exempt from service under the
Enrolment Act are not as numerous those
governing the military service in Europe
The examinations under that act are conduct
ed with about the same particularly as in ouI
regular army. The list of causes were pre-
| pared by board of surgeons, and sanctioned
| by the military authorities apart from any
agency of the Provost Marshal General
