Captaia Napolson Bonaparte Dairison, United States Navy. With deep regret wo announce tho suaden death of Captain Napoleon Bonaparto Harrison, of the United States Navy. This sad event took place yesterday morning at Koy West, Fla., and resulted from pneumonta, contracted by exposure during the recent gales in that locality. Captain Harrison, Uke the lamented Farragut, was a Southerner by birth, and one of the few naval officers from the seceding States who adhered to the cause of the Union, Ho was born in Ma.tinsburg, Ya, on tho 1oth of February, 1523, and entered the naval service on tho 28th of the came month in 1838, His first experience at sea was on board the sloops-of-war Erie and Boston, on which he cruised in West India waters until 1838, when he was trans- ferred to the schooner Enterprise, commanded first by Ellery and subsequently by Admiral Goldsbo- rough, then attached to the Brazil squadron. In 1841 he was ordered to the frigate Potomac, also in Brazilian waters, and remained with it until 1342, when he was ordered to the steamship Norfolk, and afterwards to the Erie, with which latter ho visited the coast of Africa. On the 20th of May, 1844, ho Was promoted to the rank of passed midshipman, and in 1847 was ordered to the Pactfle squadron, serving on board the sloop-of-war Portsmouth and on the frigate Congress. During the war with Mexico Midshipman Harrison took a conspicuous part, Ue served with Stockton in the conquest of California, and participated in the soveral shore engagements with the Mexicans, While on this duty he had an adventure which came near proving fatal to his life. Having volunteered to carry information of Fremont’s succossful raid on the Bay of San Francisco, he started on his mission in a small boat—tho launch of the Portsmouth—for Monterey. A heavy wind arising, the boat was blown to sea and was unable to mako land for five or eix days after. The perils and exposure incl- dental to this involuntary voyage was surmounted by the courage ana skillot the young midshipman. Indeed, as oue of the expedition which rescued Gen- eral Koarny’s cominmaad he had previously dis- Played marked ability aud conspicuous gallantry. His subsequent ice in the navy, previous to the rebailion, may be summed up ina jew words. in 1850 he was on duty at ...0 Washington Ouserva- tory; In 1851-2, on the Coast Survey service; in 1 Naval Storekeeper to the Kast India squadron; in 1855 (having been cominissioned a Heutenani on the 6th of January, 1853), on board the storeship Sup- ply in the Japan expedition; in 1866-7, on the receiv. ing ship Boston, and in 1868-9, on the sloop-of-war Cumberland, do!ng service on the coast of Africa. Lieutenant Harrison was on duty witn the sloop- of-war Jamestown, in 1861, when tie rebellion broke out, Belonging to a Southern family, with the ma- jority of his relatives sympathizing with the cause of the South and aiding it, his postuon was not without embarrassment, Urgent appeals were mado to him by his friends in Virginia to resign his com- mission and cast his lot with his native state, Yo these appeals he returned an instant rejection. De- voted to the Union, he determined to espouse its cause and to risk his life and his property in its de- fence, Nor was this patriotic resolution without sucriices, Aside from the estrangement it eventu- ated it alzo enialied upon him severe pecuniary loss, His property was contiscated and sold by the Con- federate govcrnment, and although he subsequently recovered it, its value had been materially unpatred by the war. A statement has been pubitshed that his widowed mother was insulted by the revels be- canse they suspected her of Union prociivities, but tue statement is incorrect. It 1s true, however, that ono of his sisters was compelicd to seek refuge in the Union lines, but from what cause has uot been clearly stated, Having once determined, Lieutenant Harrison pre- red tu serve the Union with ull his heart and soul. Ke was Polat in command of the gunboat Cayuga, attached to the expedition against New Oricais, commanded by Admiral Farragut. His vessel was the fagship of Captain Bailey, und led the entire fleet in its passage of Forts Jackson and St. Philip. On this occasion Lieutenant Harrison acied with guch conspicuous skill and gallantry as to receive from Captata Builey the highest praise. in his ofticlal report of the engagement Oaptain Bailey wrote: From first to last Lieutenant Commanding Harrison dis- played a masterly ability in stoering his vessel past the forts, under a hurricane of shot and shell, and afterwards in munceuvring and fighting ber among thé gunboats, I caunot say too much for hita. As & recognition of the important service rendered by him in this contest he was promoted to the“rank of Commander, his commission bearing date of July 16, 1862. Soon after he was ordered to the James river flotilla, and, as commander of the Malaska, rendered effective service during tho operations of MoCiollan before Richmond and in the retreat of that general to Harrison’s Landing. Later in the year he was placed tn command of the steam frigate Minnesota, flagship of the North Atlantic blockad- fog squadron. He took active part in the numerous naval operations on the coast of South Carolina from the early part of 1863 to the cvacuation of Charleston by the Contederate forces under General Beauregard. ‘I'his closed his career during the re- belllon, aod We eed not say he had iilusirated it by deeds of gallantry and by an exliibition of skill which have wou for him an honorable and conspicu- ous position in the roll of American naval officers. On the return of peace Commander Harrison took a short leave of alscnee, but in 1866 was placed in command of the Portsmouth (N. H.) Navy Yard, in which he remained until 1868, On the Dex of April of this latter year he was commussioned a Captain— @ tardy recognition of his eminent services—and was soon after ordered to. duty as Commandant of Miashipmen at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Herg he remained forovera year. At the time of his peeecy viet poate ae Congress, flag- ship of the Nor antic iN ron. ‘the death of Captain Hai will be deeply de- plored as a severe loss tothe navy. A steritng pa- triot, a skilful seaman and a gallant officer, he can- not be easily replaced, Personally he was a most estimable gentieman.

Tho fitamped Envelope Contract. One of your evening contemporaries published very Promimently yesterday a despatoh from here, in- sinuating very mysterious but grave charges against Postmaster General Creswel! in connection with the awarding of tho contract for supplying stamped en- velopes. Inquiry shows that there is little to war- rant the charges, and that only a paucity of facts or Adesire to mate a sensation occasioned the do- spatoh referred to, Tho facts are, that in July laat the Postmaster General advertised for contracts for furnishing stamped envelopes, and proposals were Tecelved from George H. Reay, Dempsey & O'Toole and Nesbitt & Oo. The contract was awarded to Dempsey & O'Toole. The section which govern’ the appropriation act, on which the contractors for Postal envelopes are to be patd, is as follows:— For postage ae and envelopes, $520,000; pro- vided that no part of the appropriation shall be expended lor stamped envelopes beyoud a tem: yory supply sufficient for use till the first day of Oc- ober next, except to carry out contracts icreatter to be made with the lowest bidder, according to law, upon sampies to be furnished by the Postmas- ter General, It will be seen by this that the Postmaster General has had no power since the Ist day of Octover to contract even for a “temporary supply” of envel- Opes, bat was forced to rely upon the regular con- tract Onthe Ist of October Messrs. Dempsey & O’foole wero not ready vw comply with their con- tract, They could not furnish the stamped envel- opes, &., on the Ist of October, but applied for a delay of thirty days, which was refused by the Post- master General, Daliy applications for stamped envelopes were being made to tho depart ment, some 42,000 having been appled for between the Ist and the 7th of October, Messrs Dempsey & O'Toole having fulled to carry out thelr. contract, tho Postinaster General was obliged, by the needs of tho public service, to make @ contract With whoover could best supply the artlolos needed, Accordingly, with thé approvatof tlie President tho Post Odlce Department annulied the coutract which Dempsey & O'Toole had failed to perform and gave it to the next 1owest bidder, Luis ts the whole matter in a nutshell, and the shell isopen. There is not much mystery about that, Bonds for National Nank Note Securitios. TREASURY Drranrap OFPICE OF THE COMPTOL!
