DEATH OF ADMIRAL FaRRAcUr.

A dispatch from Portsmouth, N. H., August
II, at IL o'clock NJ, announced the sad news
that another of our gallant naval officers, Admi-
raj DAVID GLAscoE FARRAGUr, was no more.
The na ms of Admiral FARRAGUr is one of the
m 'st famous in the annals Of the United States
Navy. He was Americas FIRST and only officer
Of the rank Of Admiral. He was born at CamI
bells Station. East Tennessee, in the year 1901.
Of French parents, and at the age of nine years
his father procured him an appointment as Mid
shipman, and his first cruise was in the frgate
EsseI, ComodoTe PORTER.
. For nearly forty years he was sailing about
ere world, or quietly serving at naval stations,
aud at long intervals rising by seniority from
grade to grade.
When the rebellion began he held the rank Of
CAp'ain, was sixty years Of age, and had been
il the service forty eight years. He was living
atNorfok, Virginia, where he had been married,
and being native of the South, IT was hoped by
the rebels that he would cast his fortunes with
she seeding States, but in this they were sadly
mistaken, He left Norfolk on the 18th Of April,
! soI, the night before the burning Of tho Navy
Yard and government vessels, and received his
FIRST appointment 10 the command Of the naval
expedition organised for the capture OF New Or
lJins. His history since that tina Is rsm1m-
Hersd with pride by the American people, as IL
ellis the brightest pages Of our naval history.
