SIR-In the course of official duty, il
| is my highest satisfaction to render JUS
tice to the gallantry and good conduct of
the brave officers and seamen of the T..
States navy.
In giving an official sanction to the re-
cent proceedings of the court OF enquiry,
instituted at your request, to investigate
the causes of the loss, by capture, OF the
fiieate President, late of the navy of the
United States, while under your COM
mand and to enquire into the conduct
of the commander, officers and crew of
tie said frigate, before and after surren-
der to the enemy it would be equally
unjust to your merit, as well as to my
sentiments and feelings, to pass over this
investigation with mere formal appro-
hation-I have therefore, Sir, to express
to you, in the fullest manner, the high
sense of appreciation which the President
of the United States and this department
entertain for your professional character
as all officer, who in every instance has
added lustre to the stars of the union: and
whose brilliant actions have raised the
national honor and fame, even in the mo-
ment of surrendering your ship to an enc
my's squadron of vastly superior force,
over whose attack singly you were decld-
eddy triumphant: and you will be pleased
to present to each Of your gallant officers
and crew, the thanks of your government:
for their brave defence of the ship, and
the flag of the United States.
The proceedings and opinion OF the
court of enquiry of which Com. Alexan-
der Murray is President, are approved.
! am very respectfully, sir, your ODE
dent servant,
B. w. CROWNINsHIELD.

tor of the Ohio Federalist, agentlemar
of distinguished talents and of unim.
peachable veracity and honor.
1t will be recollected that some time in
last September " good thing - run the
rounds ofour democratic papers, as having
been done by Governor Cass's 6 pet
Indians" The real transaction, which
was hailed as 6: a good thing" and so
joyfully received, was in substance as
follows
On the 10th of August, 1914, Mahlon
Burwell of Port Talbot, Lieut.. Colonel
of Canadian militia, was in his own house
at Port Talbot, sick of the fever 4 ague.
He was seized, in his shirt and drawers,
by a party of Indians, consisting of about
eighty, commanded by Governor Cass's
pet, Captain John Walker. After taking
him short distance and placing him
under guard, they proceeded to rife his
house of every thing which could be car
ried away. They took five of his horses,
which theyEloaded with his. furniture, con-
sisting of his plate, bed clothes, clothes,
SC. not leaving his wife and two children
so much as a change Of linen. The party
were accompanied by fourteen white men
who were,commanded by Daniel Norton.
In their route they stole about one hun
dred horses, which they loaded with plum
der of the same character as that taken
from Col. Rurwell. With THE Plupder,

We think it due to Com. decatur and
his heroic officers and crew, to notice the
nroposition he made to board the Endy-
mion, when he found she was coming up,
and the manner in which this proposition
was received by his gallant crew. Such
a design, at such time, could only have
been conceived by a soul without fear,
and approved with enthusiastic cheerings
by men regardless of danger. Had not
the enemy perceived the attempt, and a
vailed himself Of the power he had in the
early part of the action to shun the APP
proach of the President, the American
stars might now be shining on the Endy-
mion. In the subsequent part of the en-
gagement, the enemy's squadron was too
near to permit the execution OF this de-
sign, and the disabled state of the Endy-
mion would have frustrated the principal
object which Com. Decatur had in max
ing so bold an attempt, which was to a.
vail himself of the Endymion's superior
sailing to escape with his crew from his
pursuers.
We conclude by expressing our opini-
on, that Commodore Decatur, as well
during the chase, as through his contest
with the enemy, evinced great Judgment
and skill, perfect GOODNESS, the most de-
termined resolution and heroic courage.
That his conduct, and the conduct of his
officers and crew, is highly honorable to
them, and to the American navy, and
deserves the warmest gratitude of their
country. That they did not give up their
ship till she was surrounded and overpow-
cred by a force so superior, that further
resistance would have been unjustifable
and a useless sacrifice of the lives ofbrave
men.
The order of the secretary of the navy
requires us to express an opinion as to the
conduct of the officers and crew of the
President after the capture. The testi-
mony ofall the witnesses concur in enab-
ling us to give it our decided spproba-
ton.
