The LATE COMMANDER FLUssER.-Thel
news from North Carolina confirms the re-
port of the death of Commander Flusser.
This distinguished young officer had just
began to make himself known throughout
iceland. 1t is stated that he was one OF
the ablest assistants of his feet captain, and
promised to be soon commodore. He was
born in Maryland, and received an appoint
ment in the navy from Kentucky, on the
18th of July, lS47. Since that time he has
performed no less than fourteen years Of &C.
tive service, nine tenths of which were at
sea. He was attached to the ftigate Savans
nab, under Commodore Salter, in l845, '6,7,
and when the war broke out, refusing to re-
sign, the government gave him command of
the brig Dolphin, which was subsequently
sunk at Norfolk. .4 ..-.. .. ..a..
REBEL ToRpEpoEs.-The frequent in.
stances Of late in which the rebels have sue.
eeeded in destroying our vessels by means
of torpedoes, show that they are becoming
proficient in that species of warfare. 1t
appears that this business is entrusted toa
secret service corps. The most effective
contrivances used BY them, according to
some recently captured correspondence,
are the invention of one E. G. Singer. One
of them destroyed the Housatonic, and
the one that was used in the attempt upon
the Minnesota was his also. Singer says
be is about to commence an enterprise
that promises the redemption of New Or
leans and the Mississippi river. 1t behooves
our naval officers to keep sharp look
out for these dangerous engines of destruc-
ton. ,..at.--

when war news was rather scarce, and the

by the Metropolitan entrance and shouted

strapped customer, who ran his eyes eager
" over the columns for that battle in Al
ALBANIA. He didn't find it, and called out,
"You little rascal, can't see any battle
here ?" NO." answered the boy, as he
widened the gap between himself and the
officer, II reckon you don't, and you never
will see one if you loaf round this 'ere

street, Extra Star !, n'uther great battle
