 TESTIMOI^IALS

 OF THE 
 
 UNITED STATES SLOOP OF WAR " KEARSARGE." 
 
 The special committee appointed by the Chamber, 
 7th July, 1864, to report " in what manner it should 
 express its appreciation of the gallantry of the cap- 
 tain, officers and crew of the United States sloop of 
 war ' Kearsarge,' and of their services to the shipping 
 and commercial interests of the Chamber," originally 
 consisted of Messrs. Low, Nye, ^Marshall, Grinnell 
 and Blunt. 
 
 This committee submitted to the Chamber, at its 
 meeting of the 6th of October, the following 
 
 REPORT. 
 
 At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, held on 
 the 7th July last, the undersigned were appointed a 
 
committee to report to the Chamber, at a special or 
 general meeting, "in what manner it should express 
 its appreciation of the gallantry of Captain John A. 
 WiNSLOW, his officers and crew of the ship of war 
 ' Kearsarge,' and of the service rendered to the ship- 
 ping and commercial interests of the country in the 
 destruction of the 'Alabama.' " 
 
 In the discharge of this duty your committee have 
 prepared and now submit to the Chamber the draft of 
 a letter, which, if adopted, as a suitable expression of 
 the sentiments of the Chamber, it is proposed, when 
 signed by the President and Secretary, to send to Cap- 
 tain WiNSLOW. 
 
 Furthermore, your committee have undertaken, as 
 preliminary to such other action as the Chamber may 
 see fit to adopt, to raise the sum of twenty-five thou- 
 sand DOLLARS for the purchase of medals or other tes- 
 timonials which it may be deemed proper by the 
 Chamber to present to the commander, officers and 
 crew of the " Kearsarge," as a further proof of the high 
 appreciation in which their " gallantry and service" 
 are held ; and to the end that by such tokens an event 
 of great interest in the naval history of the country 
 may be kept in lasting and honored remembrance.

 The committee further reported a large sum of sub- 
 scriptions, amounting to over twenty-three thousand 
 
dollars, ($23,000,) and announced their readiness to 
 receive any further sums, which should be sent to the 
 Treasurer, selected by them, Charles H. Marshall, 
 Esq. 
 
 \_Lctter to Captain John A. Winslow.] 
 
 New- York, Octoher Gth, 1864. 
 
 Dear Sir 
 
 In behalf of the Chamber of Commerce of the State 
 of New- York, I have the honor to tender to you, and 
 through you to the officers and crew of the U. S. 
 sloop of war " Kearsarge," the congratulations and 
 thanks of the Chamber for the destruction of the 
 "Alabama." 
 
 Many circumstances combined to make this event 
 especially gratifying to the merchants of this city. 
 Whatever may be affirmed or denied in respect to the 
 character of this vessel, of her origin there is no ques- 
 tion. Built at the ship-yard of the Messrs. Laird, 
 (whose senior is a member of the British Parliament,) 
 manned with British sailors, (and afterwards armed 
 with British guns,) she left the port of Liverpool on 
 the 29th day of July, 1862, and entered at once upon 
 her career of devastation. 
 
 The proclamation of neutrality issued by the Queen 
 of Great Britain preceded her departure, and were it 
 not that the " Alabama" sailed from the port of Liver- 
 pool, one of the principal seaports of a great commer- 
 cial nation, she might almost be regarded as. a repre- 
 
seutative vessel sent forth to assert and illustrate tlie 
 views of neutrality just then proclaimed. Sailing at 
 times under the British, and sometimes under the so- 
 called Confederate flag, her appointed work has been 
 to burn the merchant vessels of the United States, re- 
 gardless of all forms of law, committing to the flames 
 without condemnation the property of friend and foe 
 alike. 
 
 In the progress of this raid upon the shipping of the 
 United States, she occasionally sought succor in the 
 colonial ports of Great Britain, and everywhere her 
 officers and crew were received and treated as those 
 who had done a praiseworthy work in destroying the 
 commerce of a great rival. So far was this sj^irit of 
 kindness and courtesy carried, that the destruction of a 
 vessel bearing the British flag in the Straits of Malacca 
 provoked but little complaint, and British merchants 
 have been content patiently to bear the losses inflicted 
 on them by an illegitimate wanderer on the seas, be- 
 cause of the greater damage done to the commerce of 
 a rival. 
 
 This Chamber has been wont to regard the mainte- 
 nance of friendly relations with the nations of the earth 
 as of paramount importance, and to look upon com- 
 merce as the greatest promoter of amity, tending to 
 the increase of civilization and Christianity throughout 
 the world. 
 
 How much of the hope generated by a long course 
 of intimate and profitable intercourse with Great Bri- 
 tain, events of the three years past have served to 
 banish, it is not for me to say ; but it is safe to aver, that 
 no vessel ever put to sea from a port in Great Britain, 
 
armed to cruise against the commerce of the United 
 States, that has done half so much to embitter the feel- 
 ings of the people of the United States toward the 
 people of Great Britain as the " Alabama." 
 
 This Chamber, therefore, is heartily glad that the 
 " Kearsarge," under your command, has sent this pest 
 of the ocean to her merited doom, and would that all 
 the bad feelings she has engendered had gone down 
 with her. 
 
 This Chamber does not stop to consider at length 
 the character of the act by which the commander of 
 the rebel cruiser was rescued from the captor ; but his- 
 tory will have a place for the " party of pleasure" that 
 was present when she sank beneath the waves, and 
 will extend to both the rescuer and the rescued a like 
 claim to unenviable distinction. 
 
 Both may be sustained by the same public sentiment 
 that elevated the commander of the "Alabama" to the 
 rank of a naval hero, and did so elevate him when his 
 exploits were limited to the burning of American mer- 
 chantmen, and both may be condemned in every tri- 
 bunal where justice holds an equal scale. 
 
 The conflict between the " Kearsar<?e" and "Ala- 
 'bama" afforded other grounds of satisfaction. 
 
 It marks a new epoch in naval warfare, and adds a 
 brilliant page to the naval history of the nation. 
 
 This Chamber would recognise the skill, coolness 
 and intrepidity with which the " Kearsarge" was ma- 
 noeuvred in the combat with her formidable foe, and 
 takes pleasure in making this record of the event in its 
 book of minutes. A committee of this Chamber has 
 in charge the preparation of a suitable testimonial for 
 yourself, the ofiicers and crew of the " Kearsarge," 
 
which, at some early day, they hope to have the honor 
 of transmitting.

 The report was accepted by the Chamber, and the 
 letter unanimously adopted at its meeting of the 6th 
 October, and the committee continued, with power to 
 distribute, in their judgment, the funds collected. 
 
 A handsomely engrossed copy of the letter, signed 
 by the President and Secretary, was forwarded to 
 Capt. Winslow, and the following reply received, 
 which was submitted to the Chamber on the 1st De- 
 cember, and ordered to be spread on the minutes : 
 
 \_LeUer of Capt. Joun A. Winslow.] 
 
 RoxBURy, November 25, 1864. 
 Dear Sir : 
 
 I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of 
 a diploma from the Chamber of Commerce of New- 
 York, tendering to me and the ofricers and crew of 
 the " Kearsarge" congratulations and thanks for the 
 destruction of the steamer "Alabama" by the "Kear- 
 sarge," under my command. 
 
 Be pleased to convey to the Chamber of Commerce 
 my thanks in behalf of the officers and crew of the 
 
" Kearsarge" for the complimentary manner in which 
 they have referred to our services. 
 
 The destruction of the " Alabama" is an event which 
 I do not affect to say, under the attending circum- 
 stances, was of great importance in influencing our 
 foreign relations at the time, aside from the benefit 
 derived from ridding the ocean of the most destructive 
 pest upon our commerce. 
 I have the honor to be, 
 
 Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, 
 
 John A. Winslow, 
 
 Capt U. S. K 
 A. A. Low, Esq., 
 
 President of the Chamber of Commerce of N. Y. 
 
 To extend the influence of the committee, and facili- 
 tate its performance of the labor entrusted to it, five , 
 additional members were selected, with whose aid the 
 remaining business was accomplished. These gentle- 
 men were Messrs. S. B. Chittenden, Henry A. Smythe, 
 A. C. Richards, Samuel D. Babcock and Arthur 
 Leary. 
 
 When your committee first undertook the collection 
 of the fund, and left the matter under the considera- 
 tion of our principal underwriters, important subscrip- 
 tions were made of money, to be divided in the same 
 proportion among the captain, officers and crew of the 
 '' Kearsarge" as prize money is divided, and this paper 
 was continued until the subscription was nearly com- 
 pleted. 
 
 The control over the distribution of this fund, raised 
 wholly through the efforts of your committee, was con- 
 
10 
 
 ferred upon them by tlie Chamber at its meeting of the 
 1st December, and the subscribers, without exception, 
 acquiesced in this disposition of the matter whenever 
 called on to do so. The consent of ahnost every one 
 being obtained, the committee proceeded to the duty 
 of dividing the amount. 
 
 On the 7th December the committee was called 
 together, and paid a personal visit to the gallant com- 
 mander, Capt. WiNSLOW, whom they found to be as 
 urbane as a gentleman as he is gallant as a sailor, and 
 in their agreeable interview were pleasantly reminded 
 of the truth of the old assertion, that tlie greatest 
 courage is most often allied to the most gentle de- 
 meanor. 
 
 The fund of $25,000 having been completed, the 
 committee apportioned the same in the following man- 
 ner : 
 
 To the Captain, $10,000 
 
 To the Ofiacers, 10,000 
 
 To the Crew, 5,000 
 
 $25,000 
 
 The President was requested to address Captain 
 WiNSLOW, and obtain from him a schedule of aj^por- 
 tionment based on a scale of service and merit. 
 
 On the 30th January the following letter to the Cap- 
 tain was adopted by the committee, and by their order 
 fairly engrossed and signed by each member, and 
 during the past month forwarded to him, with the sum 
 of $10,000 in 7 3-10 United States Treasury notes.

 The Treasurer of the Fund contributed by the mer- 
 chants of New- York to reward the services of the cap-

 Note of Instructions. — The above draft should be 
 signed at foot and on the back. The signature should 
 be certified to as correct by Commodore John A. 
 WiNSLOW, Brooklyn Navy Yard. When this is impos- 
 sible, by some Government official. 
 
 The following is the reply received from the chief 
 executive officer : 
 
 U. S. Steamer "Iosco," 
 
 Newbern, North Carolina, 
 
 March lUh, 1865. 
 Gentlemen : 
 
 I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your 
 communication of the 30th January, made over the 
 signature of the President, and with the seal of the 
 " Corporation of the Chamber of Commerce of the 
 State of New- York," also of the enclosed check for 
 twelve hundred dollars. 
 
 Such testimonials are rarely conferred upon officers 
 
15 
 
 who merely succeed in the performance of then- duty. 
 I trust that this distinguished recognition of dutiful 
 service may encourage not only myself but all others 
 to renewed efforts to attain the historical reputation 
 thus conferred upon them. 
 
 I am, gentlemen, 
 
 Your ob't s't,

 The award and the names of the subscribers to the 
 fund are annexed to the report. 
 
 In closing, your committee beg leave to express the 
 great pleasure they have had in the performance of a 
 duty so grateful to every member of this great com- 
 mercial community as the recompense, partial though 
 it be, of a gallant commander and a gallant crew, for 
 the destruction of a vessel which had done so much to 
 its injury as the " Alabama," and the hope that this 
 officer W rewarded by the Government, for his signal 
 service, by a higher command, may continue to meet 
 with that success and promotion which belongs to 
 activity, courage and sterling merit. 
 
 All which is respectfully submitted.
