MEDAL FOR GEN. MILLER.
To the Hon. Daniel Webster: In exc
cution of resolution of Congress-,
present to you this medal, for General
Miller, in testimony ofthe high sense
entertained of his gallantry in the bat
ties Of Niagara and Erie, in Upper
Canada, in 1914. In the first of those
actions, the enemy occupied, with his
artillery, commanding height, which
was well supported by line of infan-
try. The success Of the day depend.
ed. from the relative position of the
two armies, on the defeat Of that force,
with the capture of the artillery, and
occupation of the height held by it,
This important duty was assigned to
General, then Col. Miller, who prompt
ly undertook and calamity achieved it,
with single regiment. In the battle
Of Erie, his gallantry was likewise
very conspicuous. i take, therefore,
great interest in fulfilling the duty, thus
enioined on me in his favor, by Con-
gress, in presenting to you, for him,
this medal
Mr.. wEBSTER'S REPLY FOR GEN. MILLER
Gen. Miller requests me to express
the profound gratitude with which he
receives this testimonial.
The sense which congress has seen fit
TO entertain of his services, the public ia.
vor with which they have been regarded
and the manner in which it has pleased
you sir, now to speak of them, amply
reward him, in his own Judgment, for
whatever efforts he may have made, in
the cause of his country, and for the
sufferings, neither light nor transient,
which have followed the hardship and
exposure incident to his military en-
ployment.
May be allowed, sir, to express my
own qualification in being the organ Of
delivering to his, the mark Of appro-
baton, which is awarded, in behalf OF
the whole country, to brave and gal
liant soldier.

From the National Journal.

1t was our intention to have eXamin-
ed, paragraph By paragraph, the COM
munication of Mr.. GILES to the Rich
mond Enquirer, on the subject of the
Presidents Accounts; and to have ex-
posed its numerous gross errors and
malignant mis-statements; but, upon
looking over the Journal of the Pro-
ceedings of the Senate, in relation to
the nomination of Mr.. MONROE, as Sc
Sretary of State, we find it contains so
full a refutation of the vile ISLANDERS
which it was the design Of that COM
munication to revive, for the mere gra-
ti6cation of personal enmity, that we
shall content ourselves with publishing
the following extract from the Jour-
nal:
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 18th, 1911.
The following written message was
received from the President of the
United States by Mr.. Coles, his Sc
cretary:
To the Senate Of the United States:
Commissions having been granted during
the recess Of the Senate to the following per-
sons, now nominate them to the same Of

~ Of State, vice Robert Smith, resigned

The Senate took into consideration
the message of the President Of the

ing James Monroe * others to Offices.
Mr.. Giles submitted the following

Resolved, That the following be agreed to
and inserted among the rules of the Senate for
conducting executive business:
Gin all cases of nomination, where
the person nominated shall have been
previously employed in the disburse-
ment of public monies, statement
of his public accounts shall be laid be-
fore the Senate, from the proper De-
partment, before vote shall pass in
favor of such nominations" which was
read and considered, and after debate,
and on motion,
The further consideration thereof
was postponed until tomorrow.
A motion was made by Mr.. Giles to
postpone the further consideration of
the message of the President of the U
nited States of yesterday, nominating
. James Monroe and others, for the pur-
pose of adopting the following reso-
luton:
Resolred, That the President Of the United
States be requested to be caused to be laid
before the Senate statement Of the accounts
Of James Monroe, Esq. with the United States,
during his several foreign missions; and, after
debate, the motion was withdrawn.
A motion was made by Mr.. Giles,
that the nomination of James Mon
roe, Esq. contained in the message Of
the President of the United States, of
yesterday, be referred to select COM
mittee, for the purpose of inquiry, and
to report thereon; and on the question
to agree thereto, it was determined in

NeU-f0fE, REQ. 2S.-l ne editors OF
the Gazette have been favored with the
London British Traveller of the 18th
ull. This paper contains the following
extracts from the Paris papers of the
10th, the preceding day.
The French Rentes were lO2f. & 90.
Corfu, Dec 2s.-It is deplorable that
among the victorious Greeks, dissen-
sions exist. Among them Pasio Co
locotroni has fallen a victim he pc
rished in combat near Tripolitza.
Trieste, Jan. Letters from Corfu
of the 10TH, put aside all doubts re-
speeding the naval combats of the 18th
and l3th in the roads of Gambia.
NJ ore recent dispatches inform us,
that an Egyptian division, wishing to
get to Suda, was severely treated by the
Greeks.
They write from Constmtinople, that
the fever has broken out there to an a
farming degree; Madame Wood, wife
of the English Dragoman, has fallen a
victim.
LONDON, Jan. II,
Stock Exchange, P. M-The ope-
rations have been, to-day, more hume
rous than for several weeks back. To-
morrow being settling day, number
Of accounts have been made up; and
under the impression Of its turning out
bear account, Consols advanced from
ga 70 to IS l-s 10; they have since
receded to 95 Ia 3-8, at which price
they continue.
The demand for South American Sc
curities has been brisk and they have
improved.
The following is the substance Of
the communication made by Mr.. Can
ming to the Foreign Ambassadors -
"That in consequence of the repeated
failures of the applications of his Ma
jesty's Government to the Court of
Spain, relative to the recognition of
the independent states of South Anne
RIGA, his maJesty's servants have come
to the determination to appoint Charg-
es d'Affaires to the states Of Colombia,
Mexico, and Buenos .Ayres, and to en-
ter into treaties of commerce with
those respective states, on the basis Of
the recognition of their independence.
The PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-The
London Times, of the 9Th of last month,
contains President Monroe's last mes
sage to Congress, entire, and its editor
remarks-"To lover of humanity and
public liberty, it possesses the valuable
qualification of describing an amount
of national prosperity, enjoyed by a
people who speak our language, and
are cemented to Englishmen by COM
mon blood and lineage, superior to all
that has been recorded Of any commu-
nifty on earth .s'* With regard to
France, there are complaints suggest
ed on the subject of her delaying to in
demnify America for spoliations COM
mitted on the commerce of the latter,
during the late war with Great Britain
$50" We observe with satisfaction
the cordial and afectionate manner in
which Mr.. Monroe recommends to
Congress consideration Of the merits
of Gen. Lafayette. y ~ The speech
might be taken as useful model for
great personages in all other parts OF
the world, when they profess to enlight-
en- their subjects by Royal view Of the
national interests and concerns"
