Wasurxcron, April 28, 1863. PROPOSED REINPORCEMENT OF THE WAR DEPARTMET. There i¢ a curious story in circulation here, the cor- rectness of which I cannot vouch for, although it is related on authority that is generally considered reliable. It appears that there ie at present resid- ing io Belgium a distinguished French officer of the name of Bulow Beubler or Beulet (I am not exactly certain which), who has a reputation for military Saher ag administrative ability. Presi- dent Lincoh img heard of this gentleman, sent him, through the War Department, an invitation w come to this country, offering to. make him @ Major General of Volunteers, not with the view, however, of his taking the field, but of assuming the position of Asristant Secretary of War, in which his capacity for organization ‘wouid find full exercise. When the matter was broached to him he at ouce took steps to inform himself us to what kind of man the Secretary of War was. He was tola that he was an educated lawyer, that he had been Attorney General towards the close of Mr. Buchanan’s Presidential term, and that suddenly, sod without being much known to the country, he was made Secretary of War in place of Mr. Cameron. He also earned that be was a very impulsive man asd very domineering. The General, on bearing these facts. re- turned. the following reply to the There are three objections to my going to your country in the capacity proposed to me. In the first place am impulsive man is of ail others the most unGtted for the bead of a war department. In the next, a domineeriag man i not @ man desire to serve under, and lastly, no military man of any regard for bis reputation q@ill ever copsent to serve under a lawyer.’” So that f is decided that tho General is not to-wisit the United States at Jeast under the existing regime at the War Department. ANOTHER POTITICAL MISSION. Among the approaching departures for Europe ona government mission will be that of Mr. William M. Evarts, the eminent lawyer of your city. The particular nature Of the business entrusted to him is not known, but from bis talents and political relations it is to be inferred that it is Of am mmportant character.
