MEDAL for Extraordinary Herotsns.


Sergeant John H. Quick, of the United
States Marines, sou of Mr.. Landon
Quick, of this vicinity, so distinguished
himself in battle with the Spauiards in
Cuba as to receive honorable mention by
his immediate commander, Captain Ell
iott, of the marines, and recommends
ton to the Secretary of the Navy that he
be awarded a medal The specific act of
Sergeant Quick was, that he volunteered
to signal war ship, and to do so lie
was obliged alone to occupy the crest of
bill in full view aud within rifle shot
of the enemy. His captain says notwith-
standing he was exposed to a heavy fire,
the bullets flying thick and fast about
him, he made his signal as coolly as if
on parade ground-when a signal was
ended, the sergeant remaining ON the
same ground, would kneel and fire. Per
sonally, think of no words that express
his action so we'll as that it WAS beautiful. /"
Captain Eiliott's letter was forwarded
with the approval OF the naval comman-
dant, Captain Mccormick also APPROX.
ed by Colonel Haywood, who wrote of it
as an 'act of extraordinary heroism and
gallantry :" and the Secretary of the
Navy endorsed it as follows: "'The de-

honor" The young man thus highly
honored is now with his command at the
