From the NmIHaoen Palladium:
Andrew H. Foote.
The death of Rear-Admiral Facts, in
the present crisis of our public affairs, is
a blow at which the whole country
.grieves. His name, his achievements,
:hk-laurels, are the property of the na-
tion, for all were ofiered unspsringiy up-
on the altar of patriotism. Through a
long period of service, extending over
more than forty years, his countrymen
have admired the integrity, fidelity, and
bravery of this distinguished ofilcer; and
once of our liberties, they have learned
_to rest upon his sagucity, experience,
aud‘determinstiuu, with more than wont-
ed confidence and hope. His appoint-
ment not quite a year ago, to be one of
the four rear-admiral: on the active list,
was a proof that the Government, like
the people, regarded him as one of the
chief pillars of our naval strength. He
' has filled with invariable acceptance,
oneimportsutpost after another, show:
ing a versatility of talent both admira-
ble andrsre; and unless we are mista-
ken, his life is now sacrificed by an ex-
tr'omo devotion to the various trusts
committed to his care.
Our own townsmen, while they share
in the general loss, lament the death of
the. Admiral with a sorrow peculiarly
their own. Here he was personally
' ham and loved. New Haven was
:his active place, and the spot to which
in the intervals of public service he al-
ways turued for repose. He was bound
to our citizens by ties of kindred, friend-
ship, and long continued residence. He
was honored among us, not only as the
public msu distinguished 111.111.: service of
the nation, but as the generous and warm-
- hearted friend, the public-spirited citizen,
the unassuming helper of the destitute
-and forlorn, the never-swerving advocate
of all that was true and good. .
’ Before his body is conveyed to its last
resting place it is fitting to recount the
chief incidents of his illustrious career.
Hon. Samuel A. Foote, the Admiral’s
father, is still remembered by many of
our citizens. .'Ho was Governor of Con-
necticut in 1838. having previously been
- for along period, first a Representative
and then a Senator in the United States
Congress. His name is popularly associa-
ted with the resolutions which occasioned
Webster’s celebrated speech in reply to
Hayne.
Andrew Hull Foote was born in New
Haven,- September 18, 1800, and enter-
ed the U. 8. Navy as acting midshipmsu
in 1888. From this position he rose
gradually until be attained the highest
tank which is known in the service. He
was made Rear-Admiral at the conclu-
sion :of forty years service. when that
new grade in our Navy was established
lby Capo-after tbeprossutwar began.
