Results of the War from an English

Bentley's Miscellany for March con-

Of marked revolution in English public
opinion with regard to the issue Of the

THE LATE CAPTAIN FLUSsER.

This brave officer, who was killed upon the
deck of his OWE vessel while CALAMITY doing
his duty in contest with a rebel force, in the
waters of North Carolina, few days ago, was
much loved and respected by his subordinate
officers. We have before us an extract from q
letter written last December by young officer
on board the Inflated gunboat Underwater, to
his father in this city, which thus speaks of
Flusser. The writer of the letter thus proph-
estes what turned out literal truth
81 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 ram and

WASHINGTON CIT y, April II, 1861.
Col. j. b. FRY, Pr0rOst No General:
COLoNEL:-Your letter Of the 5th inst has
been received, in which You inform me that
complaints have been made in some instances
6 that the enrolments are excessive, and you
request my opinion as to the legal and most
proper mode OF preceding under the ctrcum-
stances herein set FORTH r,.- .- -..-
In reply have the honor to say that the
original enrolment was made in strict pursu-
ance of the provisions of the act of March 3,
1868, chapter IS, and though some names were
omitted which should have been added. and
other names were inserted which should have
been omitted, yet, con sdering the novelty OF
the law, the great number of officers acting
urder 1t without experience, and the magni-
luce and difficulty OF the labor they were
called on to perform, it is remarkable that the
enrolment was so spec Oily 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 November II, 1868,
In which you authorized and req uired the COL
lection OF all facts necessary for that purpose
inns order was carried into effect. Not willing,
however, 10 leave untried any means within
your power of discovering mistakes in the en-
rolment you went beyond the acquisitions of
the statutes, and ordered printed lists of all
the enrolled men to be prepared and made
pubic, 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, and having
given TO all concerned the power to have ali
existing errors corrected, and having amended
the lists according to the best of your informa-
ton, the fact that any mistakes still remain
must be owing TO the negligence or wiltul
fault OF those who now make com plant. The
law requires you to proceed with the draft
and there is no other way for you to perform
your duty than to take the lists then prepared.
II any over draft is made at the present time,
the excess will be taken into account in az
ranging the quota for the next succeeding
draft, il more troops should be required.
