It ‘was announced in thoso columns soveral days ‘ago that Commander Cushing, having shown in- dications of insanity, ad beon removed to tho National Asylum for tho Insano, opposite Wash- ington ; but no cause was aseignod for tho torri- blo malady which aflicted the young horo, Hopo was felt that hia absonco from tho navy would only bo temporary, but that dienppears with tho above annonucoment, ‘ho following brief akotch of his careor, hastily gathored from tho boat sources at our command, will bo found in- tonsely interesting : ‘W168 NATIVITY.

For hia gallant achiovoment in taking tho ‘Pown of Clinckatuck, four hours after it hid been occupied by Lougatrost's loft wing, with a howitzer and ninoty sailors, he recolved a Jettor of congratutation frou tho Socretary of tho Navy, and WAS SENT FOR DY PRESIDENT LINCOLN, who congratulated him warmly.
