ATLANTIC MONTHLY July mum.
Der of the Atlantic has been received and
is as usual full of interesting and readable
articles. Bayard Taylor gives an article on
"Winter life in st. Petersburg" with
some of his experiences as o diplomat in
the court Of Alexandria. The pathetic
history of the poor Irish girl "Ellcn, )
who went in search of her brother, a
soldier boy in Virginia, is well told, and
cannot fail to touch many sympathetic
hearts. The account of Chi hicago con
lspiracy will excite some comment. The
conduct of Col. Sweet It an unknown
!soldier--saved Chicago from fire and
|desolation, and should receive substantial
recognition from the government. The
facts attested by this article prove the
truth of the report of Judge Advocat,
Holt, made public previous TO the las
election. DR.. Johns, The Chimney
Corner and Needle and Garden are con.
tinued, and many other articles of presen
interest may be found in this number

tage with vigor at different points along
the southern coast, the naval operations
against WHICH were invariably attended
with success He also succeeded in en-
forcing a more effective blockade. In
August 1852 he was nominated by Presi- +
dent Lincoln one of the nine Rear
Admlrsls on the active list. He com
manded the attack on the forts in Charles
ton harbor. 1t failed. We have mol
disposition at this time to revive the con-
troversy which soon after occurred be-I
tween the Admiral and the Navy De-
partment. 1t is enough to know that all
the subsequent history of naval opera
tlons in Charleston harbor, clearly
proves that Admiral DUPONT was in the
fright and the Navy Department was in
the wrong. Another was sent to Charles
ton, and millions of dollars were wasted
'in efforts TO take Charleston in u way
pronounced impossible by Admiral
DUPONT. His advice was rejected and
the Navy Department did not again
avail themselves of his professional servi-
ces- History has already justified him, and
what was meant for disgrace has but
sadded to his brilliant reputation.
4 His sea service extends over a period
of twenty-five years. He has served on
various important naval boards, includ-
ing the lighthouse board, the naval re-
tiring board, and the boards for providing
Ia code Of rules for the service, and fol
the examination of midshipmen. Healso
was prominent in organizing the nayal
school located at Annapolis, until driven
from there to Newport, R. 1 by the re
bellion. He is the author of a work on
the use of floating batteries for coast de
fence, which has been republished and
highly commended in England by Sil
Howard Douglas in his work on nava
gunnery.
Admiral DUPONT was the beau ideal o
"a naval officer. Devoted to his profession
he labored assiduously to build up III,
Hreputation of the navy, and was one oft
chief ornaments. The preparation o
that branch of the public service for th
= work which devolved upon it. in conse
quence of the rebellion, was due more t,
him than to any other man in that de
Hpartment of the government.
Possessing all those virtues which ador
public character, he was in private life
pure and modest christian gentleman
Sans pear ct sans reprochc could be il
scribed as the legend of his arms.
his death, the Country has lost one of il
noblest patriots, and the State of Dela
ware, which claims him as her son, on
of her best and greatest citizens.
