 RANK IN THE NAVY-A. L. B., Mar tinez. and D. B. C., city. The highest rank in the United States navy at this time is rear admiral, created by the act of Congress, July IS, 1862. Then the rank is in the following order: Commodore, ca,tain. commander, lieutenant-comman- der lieutenant, lieutenant junior grade and ensign The office of vice-admiral and then admiral were specially created for David G. Farragut in recognition of his services to the country during the Re bellion. In 1862 he was commissioned rear admiral and was the first to hold that rank in the navy. The same rank was conferred on Goldsburough. Dupont, Foote and others to the nlmber of eleven, and on the 12th of August of that year Farragut as senior rear-admiral hoiSted the square blue flag at the mainmast- head of the Hartford, then at New Or leans. Subsequently the law was amend ed and Farragut as rear-admiral retro graded his flag to the miZzen. On De- cember 21, 1864, he was advanced to vice admiral, and he placed his flag at the foremast, and when on the 18th Of Ju&y. 1866, he was created admiral, he ag&in raised his flag to the mainmast-head. When Farragut was made admiral David D. Porter was advanced to vice-admiraI. and upon the death of Farragut in 1870 he succeeded Farragut admiral. These were the only two men in the navy that the Government desired to honor, and in later years there was passed law which says that vacancies occurring in the grades of admiral and vice-admiral shall not be filled in promotion nor in any said grade shall become vacant the grades shall cease to exist" The office of admiral ceased to exist with the death of Porter, February 13. 1891.
