Our community was shocked this morning by the sad intelligence of the sudden deagh at the Washington Navy Yard of Rear Admiral John A. Dahigren, one of the most illustriogs of ofr neval heroes. While the mation will mourn his being cut off im the midst of his usefelness, the grief here, where he made his home, ts deeper and all feel it asa persemal bereavement. Ae was at the time of his death Commandant of the Navy Yard in this city. The Death Scene. Admiral Dabigrea had been complaining slightly for several days, but €i@ not keep his house; nor was it thought that he required the services of a physician. Yesterday afterneon, about 40’clock, Dr. W. J. Johason, Surgeen of the Yard, called te see him at his residence, and found him su! with a severe pain ander the lower end ef the breast-bene, and alsa from oppression on kis breast. Dr. J. prescribed for him. and subsequently Dr. W. P. Johnsor calléd to see him and thought he was better. Last night he retired, as usual, but was rather restless. This mornitig he was well enough to getup for his breakfast and also to give som2 orders to'Mr. Lewis, the messenger of the yard. The servant girl fisid just left the room when she heard bim call “Harry,” and she ran back and found that he had got up from the chair apd thrown himself upon the sofa. Mca. Dabigren at once came in and Surgeon Johnson was sent for and respended promptly, but when he ar- rived the sufferer was beyond relief, and, atter two or three gasps, he died, not uttering a word, his pulee having ceased when Dr. Johnson reached bim. Captain Patterson and other officers of the Yard were soon at the residence of the Admi- ral, and word was immediately sent to the Naty Department and friends of the family through out the city. Admiral Smith, Chief of the Ba- reas of Yards and Docks, calleden Mrs. Dahl- gren soon after the death of the Admiral, and after learning her wishes gave the necessary di- rections as to the body, and sent to Marvey & Marr to make the preparations for the faneral. ‘Mrs. Gen. Sherman was one of the first to call on Mrs. Dahigren, and the General soon after called. It is not yet determined where or when the funeral will take place. He married his tirst wife in Philadelphia, and she and some of his children are buried at Laurel Hill, near that city. His death was cansed by disease of the heart. There is but little doubt he was stricken by death when bis sufférings commenced some days ago, and nothing but his indomitable strength of will kept bim engaged m the performance ot his duties up to the last day of his lite. Daty was paramount with him, and he was never known to be turned aside from any right pur- pote by difficulty or danger. John A. Dahlgren was boro in Philadel- phia on the 13th day of November, 1809. He was appointed Midshipman from the State of Pennsylvania, Febraary Ist, 1826. His tirst cruise was in the frigate Macedonian, on the Brazil Squadron, in the years 1827-29; he was attached to the sioop-ot-war Ontario, on the Mediterranean Squadron, in 1830-33; he was Promoted to Passed Midshipman, April 20th, 1832; he was on coast survey duty, from 1536 to 1842; he was commissioned as Lieutenant, March Sth, 1887; he was attached to the frigate Cumber- land, on the Mediterranean Squadron, 1844-45; he was on ordnante duty from 1847 to 137, during which time he perfected the invention of the famous Dabigren gun; he was commis- soned as Commander, September 1th, 1355 he commanded the ordnance ship Plymouth, 1858-9; and was on ordnance daty at Navy Yard, Washington, 1860-61. Atthe breaking out of the rebellion, the Com- mandant and most of the officers attached to the ‘Washington Navy Yard resigned their commis- sions, and went South. Commander Dahigren was true among the faithiees, and, asa nition of his unswerving loyalty, President Lincoin appointed bim the oft the Warhington Navy Yard; he was commissioned as Captain, July 16th, 1862, and shortly arter- wards appointed Chief of Buresa of Ordnance. He was promoted to Rear Admiral, February ‘ith, 1864, and ip the summer following assumed command of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, relieving Rear Admiral Dupont, as- suming commandof the squadron July 6th, 1863, A combined operation of naval andarmy forces, the latter under General Gilmore, was institu- ted for the oceupation and possession of Morris Island, on the south side of the entrance into Charleston harbor. After a long and severe struggle, the army operating upon lend, with the efficient co-operation of the monitors and the New Ironsides, Morris Island, with all its battcries, was captured, and Fort Sumter was, soon made a pile of ruins by the flerce artillery of the combined forces. The fleet of Admiral Dahigren remained in- side the bar, and after the capture of Morris Island, blockade running, so far as Charleston was concerned, was at an end. In February, 1864, & successful expedition, commanded by Rear Admiral Dauigren in person, ascended the St. John’s river, to aid a military force intended to be thrown into Florida. On the 12th of December, 18¢4, General Sher- man, having successfally aecomplished his march ‘to the sea, reached the vicinity of Savannah, and commanication between him and Kear Admiral Dahigren was estab. Nshed. The latter made the best possible dis- Position of the vessels under his command to assist the army tm obtaining possession of Sa- vannah, which was occupied by Gétieral Sher- man on the 2ist of December. On the morning of the 18th of February, 1965, the city of Charleston was evacuated by the rebel forces, and Kear Admiral Dahigre: once moved his veseels up to the city. The evacuation of Charleston was followed by that of Georgetown, on Februaty 23d, and on the 26th of that month the place itself was occu- pied by Rear Admiral Dahigren. was ordered In 1866, Rear Admiral Dehigren to the command of the South Pacific Squadron, and retarmed from that service in 1868, end was, for the'second time, appointed Chief of Bureau of Urdnance. In the fall of 1869, he was ordered to the command of the Washington Navy Yard, where be served to the time of his death. Admiral Dahigren received a vote of thanks from Congress on the Tth of February, 1963, for distinguished service in the liné of his profe-- sion, improvements im ordaance, and zealous and efiictent labors in the ordnance branchpr the rervice. His Character. In private life he was no jess unostentations than in the performance of his official daties. He bad apparently an austere disposition,whi¢h caused him to be misunderstood, but underlying his unsympathetic manner his friends knew there was a vein of kindneess, penetrable to any appeal for charity or its objects. It is a well known fact that often when discharged work- men would appeal to him, representing their destitution, he would draw on his own pocket and present them with five or ten dollars when re-employment was impracticable. In fact he ‘was never known to disregard any sppeal for charity, whether made in pesson or by letter. He used frequently to remark that the orders for a reduction of force in the Yard gave him more pain than those whom it actually affected, and although he had the ill will o/ soms, they were simply thoze from whom he eracte | inocs- sant work, the same as he did of himself. He was calm and collected under all circum- stances. Once during the war he retutsed from Charleston im his flagship ‘ Hurriet Quees,” and arriving at the mouth of the river, no pitet could be had, whereupofi the Admifa! himeelf took charge of the vessel and directed her safely through the tortuous channel of the Potomac from that p@int to this city. He never jumped at conclusions, and was re- Jactant to advances result without having first ‘experimented so thoroughly as to leave no room for doubt; ‘but when once satisfied he was equally as tirm in standing by the result ef his convictions. It is well known that such conti- dence had the personnel of the navy in his gans that they would stand by and tire them for hour without eve a thought of danger. He never was krown to show any genuine anger but onc’, He wes sitting in bis office at the Navy Yards few years since and heeriag some noise like explesion of gun-caps he looked out, inquir of ome of the clerks near by the cause. They were then filling up what was known in those dafa'as the “Wet Dock,” and a large number of horses and earts being employed, it appears that onc of the teams had been backed too far in the mad, and was stuck, when the driver was cracking bis whip and cruelly besting the animal in order to urge him forward. Admiral Dahigren rushed out immediately, and not only commanded the man to desist, but cried out in fury “go ar. “leave here,” and addressing the foreman said “drive that man oat of the yard,” never let him come in here again.” f Mis Family. His first wife waea lady from Philadelphia, of the children by whom only two survive— Paul, aged twenty-two years, who lately re- signed a Neutenancy in the third artillery, and Charles, aged twenty-eight years, who lives in Brooklyn. Ulric, amother son, was killed do- ring the war, as stated below. The eldgst daughter, an interesting member of Washington. society in her day, died about tem years ago, and his youngest daughter Eva by his first wife died in New York about a month since. His second wife is Mrs. Goddard nee Vinton and daughter of a former member of Co! of that name from Ohie, whose daughter, Miss Komaine Goddard. was lately marriéd to Count Overbeck, Ans- trian Consul Genera! of Hong Kong. The re- sult of the last marriage of Admiral Dabigreen was three children, all living. His Imprevement of Our Navy Yard. To him more than any naval officer ever in charge there does the navy yard at this place owe its growth and prosperity. He eame here in 1847, almost blind, from the constant use of optical instruments, having been for a jong while pre vious with the United States Coast Sur- vey- He soon recovered, however, andat once began'the work of improvement, his suczems, in which, in reclaiming land and the erection thereon of ordnance shops, laboratories and other buildings, will be seen by a mere glance at the premises. The Dahigren Gun. Admiral Dahigren had rendered great ser- vice to his country, and had attracted the atten- tion of Europe by his investigations and experi- ments In gunnery previous to thre beginning or the war. He wrought out the American idea of superiority inthe weight of the battery and of the single shot, by which our great naval vic- tories have been won, and he produced th: American gun which bears his name, and which is justly admired as a truly scientific wapon, more reliable than any so-called ‘built up” guns yet invented. Even the 15-inch guns were shaped afterthe Dahigren pattern; and yet at the breaking out of the rebellion, but few of these excellent guns of large calibre had been manufactured. His “Shell and Shell-Guns,” published in 1856, was soon accepted everywhere asa stand ard authority on the subjects of which it treats, and it is universally admitted that the aathor contributed more than any other one man to give to American ordnance its present superi ority. The experiments made under his direc- tion were so decisive that the six new frigates fitted out in 1866 were armed with much heavier gune than had been before used on board a ship as composing @ regular battery. They were ° inch, 10 ineh. and 11 inch shell guns. ‘The Worthy Sen of a Noble Sire. ‘Phe sudden death of Admiral Dabigren wil! recall to many the untimely fate of his gatiant son, Col. Ulric Dahlgren, who perished by treachery while attempting torescue his brother soldiers held as prisoners at Richmond, a ser- vice he knew weil was full of danger. His d+ach wasa crust blow to his father, and was greatly lamented in this city. The tather lived to see the Union restored; the son died while the fate ‘of the country for which he gave up his lite was yet in doubt. Col. Dahigren was born in 1842, and was therefore only 22 years of age when he ‘was killed in the skirmish at King and (1een's Court House, Va, om the 4th of March, 1864, He received ® very thorough educa- tion and entered the navy as midship- man before the bresking out of the war. Atthe time of the attack on Fort Sumter he was traveling in the southwest, and great efforts were made to induce him to join the rebels, but her refused indignantly; and hastening home, assisted his father in the Ordnance D partment. When General Saxton was in command at Har - per’s Ferry,and the place was first threatened, Commodore Dahlgren, having received orders to place a battery on Maryland Heights, sent bis son- Ulric to place the guns in position and take charge of the battery., He executed this duty with great skill; and when General Sige!
