SUICIDE OF 4 NAVY OFFICER.
Capt. Iilton of Nd, attached to the navy,
and q member of the Light houss Bosrt,
committed suicide this p. m. by blowing out
his brains with pistol. He had for some
time been much depressed, owing to tho po-
ntical state Of the country.
ruE WHEREABOUTS or Our SHIPS.
1t appears, on inquiry 1t the proper source,
that the St. Louis Was ordered from the
Gulf squadron ~ early AZ Dec. gath, and
the Sabine, Jan. Goth, or three days before
the surrender Of the Pensacola navy yard,
leaving tho other vessels TO compose that
squadr on--the Powhattan, Pocahontas, and
Cumberland. To obtain provisions, the
store. ship Supply was sent BY order OF tag
officer Pendergrast to Pensacola, and BY
Capt. Armstrong, then at that place, vas
ordered to return to that squadron, but IN
stead Of doing so, Capt. Walker, her COM
mander, took ON board the parolled officers
and men and women from Fort Pickens and
proceeded to New York, for which disobedi.
ence OF orders he is to be court-martialed.
The Cumberland has been ordered to
Hampton Roads and the Powhattan to New
York. Whatever disafec.ion has existed in
the Gulf squadron was on board the latter
vessel. When ordered to proceed elsewhere,
portion OF her officers, who are Southern
men, supposing she was going to Pensacola,
manifested discomfort. The lst Lieutenant
sent ia his resignation, the acceptance OF
which will depend upon his being cxonerated
from blame. to be -ascertained when the yes.
eel shall arrive at New York; otherwise be
will be court martialed.
There are Ii naval vessels on our coast
and one ct Cuba, and another At Tortugns.
The Macedonian and BROOKLYN have arrived
in the neighborhood OF Fort Piokens.
While the Mexican Government was IN =
more unsettled condition than at present,
and there was prospect Of demonstration
BY Spain against Vera Crus, it was the pol
icy OF the Government to keep strong feet
in the Gulf for tho protection OF American
interests. Since the Juarez government has
been established the necessity for the con-
tinuance Of strong force 10 that quarter
has ceased, and hence the feet has been dis
tributed ia the manner shove stated.
