truth than poetry. Founded upon official
facts, it launches a shaft at the great ID. ID

Secretary Of the Navy Fox TO have himself
placed in the position whereby lie acquired
a reputation which he never earned; and
his promotion, over the heads of many
worthy. brave and gallant officers, who,
with the same opportunities, would never
have given cause for such d criticism as we
find in b" High Old Salts" to have been
written, was shame and disgrace to the
Navy Department.. There is a general be-
lief amongst Il large portion of the naval
officers, that the said great l.. ID. d. p, was
never in reach of the enemy's shot during
the whole civil war, and when compared to
the great Farragut, whom he labored so
hard to injure, is as the pigmy to the giant.

worthy of his talents or of the occasion;
he left the Association in doubt as to which
was the reason.
The question for discussion was then
taken up, " Do great men make great
epnchs. or great epochs make great men -
The discussion was opened by MI. John \.
Calhoun, with au attempt 10 show that both
sides of the question were true; that the
great thinkers and students of the world had
made great epochs in its history, and that
these epoch> had made the great soldiers
and party leaders of the world. The first,
he insisted were the worlds greatest men,
the second its great men.
He was followed by Mr.. ]. ID. c. Hanna.
