more than appears on its face. The

its naval commander who perpetra,ed the

highest honors, as well as promotion !;
while, as yet, we have done nothing for
Capt. Iugraham. save justifying his con-
duct; hence it's become quite importan
TO the administration. and, under existing

at large, TO have some honor conferred
