hh Officers, and some yaluabfe Official
Documents calculating the History of
that period.
TINE work will commence with the
Il Presidents Message to Congress,
June |, 1912; the Report ofthe Commits
tee Of Foreign Relations, and the Presi-
dents Proclamation announcing the De-
claration of War. Then will follow, in
succession, the Letters OF our Officers,
from the commencement to the termina-
ton of the war; and conclude witha the
Treaty OF Peace of Dec. "a, 1914.
In gathering and coIlating those letters
for publication, the Editors motive is, to
preserve them to the rising and to future
generations. He has frequently regret
ted, with his contemporaries, the i'm.
practicabillty OF obtaining access to the
letters OF the ~pficers Of our Revolution,
and few men now living, it is presumed,
have had the pleasure Of perusing them
all. The proposed publication will pre-.
serve, from a similar fate, the official let,
tiers of our officers during the late war,
and will furnhA~aQ opQortafiy to the
young men OF America, now advanced
and advancing to manhood, of perusing
them; they will there see theirA

repelIed the savage and the civilized Toe,
both by sea and land; whose undaunted
vaIor and heroism was never excelied in
the proudest days of the ancient republics.
To the junior officers of The army and ma
Wy, this book will prove an excellent ma

ton to cover the expence OF an addi-
tional force to suppress piracy and
smuggling.
Mr.. johnson, Of Louisiana, inquired
ifthere was any specific sum appropria-
ted for that purpose; if there was not he
should move one, and then went to
shew the necessity of maintaining COM
siderable force in the West India seas
for that object; adverting to the faciIi-
ties there for piratical depredations,
their enormity. and prevalence at this
time.
Mr.. Pleasants moved the following
additional item: "For the purpose Of
enabling the President of the United
States, in case he shall think it neces-
sary, to send an additional naval force
fer the suppression of piracy and the
prevention of smuggling, IS 10000.
MIR. Brown, of Lou. united with his
colleague in the absolute necessity Of
taking effectual measures to suppress
the dreadful outrages on the citizens
and commerce Of the United States,
which were now SO common in the
West India seas. He stated that he
had recent and authentic information
from that quarter, that piracy has
greatly increased in frequency of oc.
currence and in it's ferocity Of charac.
ter, notwithstanding all that had been
done to cut it up. The acts Of plunder
were now almost invariably accsmpan.
led by the murder Of the plundered
and the numerous keys and iplets Of
those seas afforded every facility for the
preparation of those crimes.
After few words from Messrs. Wis
Jams. of Ten. and Lowrie, the bill was,
on motion, laid on the table.
On motion of Mr.. Smith, the Senate
proceeded to fill vacancy in the Judi
ciary Committee, occasioned by the alb.
sence Of Mr.. Otis; and MIR. Ware was
appointed.
