After removing the Pointe! to the sloop John Adams, then under the com- mand of Commander Juhn Gwinn, on tho East India Station. The Commodore of the squadron at this time was George C. Read. He continued on the station until 1840, when the vessel returned home and wae laid up in ordinary at Boston, Lieutenant Kilty being allowed leave of absence. In 1842 Lieutenant Kilty was trans- ferred to the Columbus, seventy-four guns, flagship of the Brazilian equadron, then under Commodore Daniel Turner and Captain Benjamin Cooper, his old vessel also Joining the squadron, The next year he was transferred to the frigate Columbia, forty-four guns, on the Mediter- Yanean station, under Commodore Joseph SmMb. About the month of May, 1844, the vessel returned home, and Lieutenant Kilty is recorded as awaiting orders in the noxt two year’s register. During 1846 he was oraered to the frigate United States, forty four guns, flagehip of the African squadron, Commodore George ©. Read. About twelve months afterwards the Commodore with hia flagship was transferred to the Mediterranean sinadron, from which tation she returned home in December, 1848, and was laid up in ordinary at Norfolk. During 1849 he went on a short cruise, aad was afterwards appointed Second Lieutenant at the Rendezvous at Baltimore, under Commanders Franklin Buchanan and Charles Lowndes. He remained at this depot until some time in 1851. He was then kept unemployed and awaiting orders until early in 1654, when he was appointed executive officer of the receiving sbip North Carolina at the New York Navy Yard, undor Commander E. Peck. In September, 1855, he was com- missioned a commander in the navy, but does not appear to have been employed in active service until eome time in 1850, when he was placed in command of the Ren- dezyous at Baltimore, which position he held at the breaking out of the present troubles, When Cummodore Foote’s expedition was organized, Captain Kilty took command of the Mound City, and gallantly carried his vessel through the various engagements. He is spoken of ag a fine officer and good sailor. He has been in the naval service about forty-one years, over fifteen years of which he has been at sea, nearly seven years on shore and other duty, about twelve months attached to the present Mississipp! expedition, and the remainder of the time has been unemployed. It is to be hoped bis inj ties will not prove dangerous or fatal. NEWS FROM M’CLELLAN’S ARMY. Wasmxarox, June 21-3 P. M.
