/ he Ind served more isnnne1 ~ than ans
of the others under the eye 19Seneral TRAM
in his Western campaigns. Moreover Ad
miral Wakes record is very honorable, ano
in some respects brilliant. The valuable
services which he rendered on the Missis
sippi before Belmont, Fort Dennelson and
Vicksburg, pointed to him as especially
worthy of honor and promotion. The Presi,
dem. following the eoursei which he has 80
oft1n before pursued. has, in this instance,
selected am ofioer who fought under MS
own eye, and with whose personal and pro
fessional qualifications he was thoroughly
acquainted. az ,
Admiral Wake is now in his sixfy-second
wear, and is bv birth Virginian. In 1877
his parents resided in Ohio, from whence
Young Wake set out, in that year, to join
the service He took part In the capture OF
Tobasco and Tuspan, but his first hard
fighting was done at the battle OF Belmont,
which was fought on the seventh
November, 1861, in which engagement
he commanded the Carondelet. In
the following February he was en-
gagged in the battles Of Forts Donel-
son and Henry. He likewise assisted III
the capture of the Point Pleasant batteries;
and also in the battles of Fort Pillow and
Memphis. Most persons will recollect the
plucky fight of the CarOndelet, commanded
by Captain Wake and the reOeI ram Arhah-
sas, as likewise the YazOO river expedition.
In July of that year he was promoted from
the rank of commander to that OF captain:
During the ensuing season, he rendered
valuable services in connection with the
Mississippi fiotilla He fought his way past
the rebel batteries at Vicksburg i'll April,
and took part few days subsequently in
the battle of Grand Gulf. A month before
Vicksburg fell he dispersed the rebels under
General Taylor at Simmsport. He after
ward was selected to command the steam
Noop Sacramento, detailed for special
service, which he most creditably per-
formed. He was promoted to the rank Of
Commodore July IS, 1866.
! Such is a brief record Of the services rem
dered by Admiral Wake. Negatively, his
reputation also stands high, that is, he has
never committed an act to tarnish the glory
which he achieved. He has ever preserved
the "whiteness of his SOUL before the public
ken, and hence the appointment is as cred
liable to the President as it is merited by
the recipient.

The New Admiral.

The st. Louis Democrat thus describes the
successor of the late Admiral Dahlgren:
From among host of suitable naval
veterans, Henry Wake has been selected
to iill the vacancy caused by the demise of
Admiral Dahlgren. Many officers who are
his seniors in the service and in rank We're
passed over, and the claims of Commodore
Boggs, Jenkins, Machand, Taylor, Sands,
Steedman, Alden, Smith, Gibson and Lee,
who were commissioned on the same day
with Wake, were not recognized. The
reason Of the preference given to him is
probably to be gathered from the fact that
