Webster, John Adams 1785-1876 Naval officer; born in Harford county, Md., Sept. 19, 1785; joined the navy in 1812. When the British began their march towards Washington he was assigned shore duty, and placed in charge of Battery Babcock, at Bladensburg, near Baltimore. During the night of Sept. 13 he detected the enemy endeavoring to land, and, in conjunction with Fort Covington, forced them to withdraw, thus saving Baltimore. He received swords of honor from Baltimore and the State of Maryland; was promoted captain in the revenue marine service in 1819; and commanded a squadron of eight cutters in the Mexican War. He died in Harford county, Md., July 4, 1876. His son, John Adams, naval officer; born in Mount Adams, Md., June 26, 1823; joined the revenue marine service in 1842; promoted captain in 1860; served in the Civil War; commanded the Dobbin at Hampton Roads, and was the only United States officer that saved his vessel from capture by the Confederates.

e city of Mexico, and the best mode of effecting its capture, were the main subjects under discussion. Lieutenant Beauregard, in opposition to most of the general officers there present, and contrary to the views of all his comrades of the engineer corps, advocated an attack by the western approaches of Mexico. His suggestion, though very much combated at first and nearly discarded, was finally adopted, with what successful result is now a matter of history. Soon after this episode—on September 13th—Beauregard was twice wounded in the brilliant assault on the Garita de Belen, where so much dash was displayed by the American troops. On the expiration of the Mexican war, when Major Beauregard returned to his home in New Orleans, General Totten, as chief of the Engineer Department, forwarded him the following copy of Gen eral Orders, publishing the brevets he had won on the field of battle: 1. For gallant and meritorious behavior in the battles of Contreras and Churubusco, Mexi
