Medals OF Honor.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please publish
the act of Congress, approved March 5, 1863
authorizing the Secretary OF War TO confer
medals Of honor for distinguished and merit0-
rous services during the last warn ID. PRES
TON, Philadelphia, Pa.
There were parts OF two acts, which should
be cited rs a proper answer 10 COmrade Pres
toms inquiry The first was passed July IL,
1862, and is as follows:
Res0fUed Ly The Senate aud H5ftse of Representd.
tires Of the Utitcd States Of America Ia Congress
assembled That the President of the United States
be, aud he IL hereby, authorized 10 cause 1000
medals Of honor" 10 be prepared with suitable
embicmntc devices, aud To direct that the same bc
presented, ia the name of Congress, To such non
commissioned officers and pTlyatcs as shall most
distinguish themselves by their galantry in action
and other soldierike qualities during the present
nsurfectiou. And that the sum of 10000 be- aud the
same is hereby, appropriated out of any money la
the Treasury not otherwise appropriated for the
purpose OF carrying this resolution into effect.
The second was passed March 3, 1863, and is
as follows:
Andb II further enacted That the President cause
10 be struck from the dies recently prepared ut the
United States Mint for that purpose medals of

July r. 1862 and present the same to such officers
non-cofn IA issoned officers aud privates as have
most distinguished who may hereafter most
distinguish, themselves ia action; and the sum Of
go 900 is hereby appropriated out Of any money in
the Treasury not otherwise appropriated 10 defray
the expenses Of the same.

dig the brutes out. From early morning until
late in the day. these toied at their work, and
having reached a subterranean gallery, spears
were thrust into n passage diverging from the
main tunnel, and both cubs were wounded.
These they got out and killed, but the place OF
refuge occupied by the old ones seemed as lar
off as ever, and il was not till the close of the
third day of labor that their lair was reached.
1t seems that tho hyona had dug his way to-
ward point where the opening would nave
given access to the bed of the nulah, but had
not proceeded quite far enough. At this time
Capt. Bowles and a civil engineer, whose
friend, while walking with him not long be.
fore, in this very vicinity, had been set upon
by the hyena and seriously wounded, Joined
Col. Barras. "By descending into the ravine
and placing an ear against the scarpcd earthen
bank" he says, eve could distinctly hear the
heavy painting by which the hunted brute
caused the thin walls of his prison to vibrate."
Then, armed with spears, the hunters took mp
their positions, two in front and ono above the
place of exit. 4 few blows of the pickaS and
" the earth fell like u curtain, letting daylight
stream into this hitherto secure haunt. The
hyena, with flaming cyeballs and its name erect,
uttered low sounds of rage rs it rushed toward
me- ! received il on my spear, ana
held il against tho wall of its den until my
friend, who was posted above drove his spear
with great force through its shoulder blades.
This killed it, but not before il had smashed
tho tough spear into shreds with its powerful
jaws. q The creature was now dragged
out, and certainly he looked the villain that he
was. Owing to the heat of the past months he
was perfectly naked, with the exception of the
huge name that stood up intact from his ears
to his tail q What had become of tho
mother of this family was mover known with
any certainty" but from that day the troubles
of tho garrison OH account of wild beasts
ceased.
1t may be said. in conclusion, that the nm.
tamableness OF the hyena is a myth. Several
eminent hunters have brought up cubs who be-
came quite docile, and in certain places IN the
East the hycna is rs much domestcated as an
Esquimaux dog.
