The death of ReRr-Admirsl Samuel
Francis Dupont is announced. He was
born at Bergen Point, N j. September 81,
1903, and was therefore nearly siKty-two
yesrs Of age. His grandfather and father
emigrated from Franco in 1893. He was
commissioned q midshiPmsn at the age Of
twelve years, and in 1917 sailed on his first
cruise under Com. Stewart. During the
Mexican war he did good service on the
Pacific coast with his frigate, the Con-
gress. In February, lS4s, he landed at
San Jose, with q force Of n hundred
marines and sailors, and defeated q force Of
five times that number Of Mezicsns.
From 1856 TO 1858 he cruised in the China
waters, and in January, 1861, was placed
in command Of the Philadelphia Navy
Yard. In the ensuing summer he wa en-
trusted with the fitting out of q naval ex-
pedition against Port Royal, 8. O. The
capture of this important point, on the It'll
of November following, was one of tina
most brilliant naval triumphs of the war.
His subsequent history has been so
thoroughly identified with that of the war
tbat we need not recapitulate it. In
August, 1862, he was appointed n Of the
nine Rear Admirals on the active list. A
brave and ekilliul officer, the country will
not speedily forget his services in the sup.
preston Of that rebellion, the end Of which
he was happily spared 10 see.

al Governor of Alabama in the following
terms:
The New Governor of Alabams, Hon.

years, and have conferred freely with him
since his arrival in Washington. In other
DAYS. hn was, a staunch npnnnept- of h.

L met him in Philadelphia, he was an &C.
tive friend Of Judge Douglas, and heartily
acted on the counsels ofthst glorious man.
when he sdmonished the people of the
South that they would be utterly ruined if
they did not obey the decree of the ballot

Kirby's origin is s little mystical. He
was born in Virginia, snd supposed TO be
mutually descended from Poeshontas, Rip
Van Wrinkle, John Brougham and Capt.
Smith, the uncle Of Sidney the English
humorist and moral lecturer on patent
medicines, and also q near kin of Sidney
Dobell the poet, and Algeron Sidney the
horse tanner. He was educated at West
Point but is understood to have had little
point shout him.
he graduated at the foot of his class,
and was kicked about for several years in
the mounted Tifes-the rifle being an al
fusion TO an article of Whiskey used by
that branch of the service, and msnufac-
tured by Mr.. Pike of this city. When he
entered the Confederate army he only
weighed two hundred pounds, but has in
creased in the same ratio ever since until
he is believed TO rival some OF his own
cotton bags. In fact as Charles Lamb
observes,
There has never been g lessIty
