On Sundays, the church service is per-
,ormed IN the morning and afternoon by
tne chaplain OF tie corps, the reverend Dir.
Empie. The writer of this cannot refrain
here from expressing the high qualification
he derived from hearing two of this gentle
mans sermons, during his STAY at West
Point.-The classical purity of the Ian
go-5e, thes0un me, 8 of their religious. doc
'riae, and the inflicted feryor of man
he :I IN wlSch they were delivered, were
nearer.
The branches of science now taught at
inc academy, are mathematics, natural
ana experimental philosophy, engineering
(Which. it IS believed, includes the whole
art OF tactics) ethics, the French language,
drawing, &c. The professors are all gen-
tiemen OF the highest responsibility and
taieats, who appear to have devoted them
selves wholly to the good of the instittl~
ton. With such tepchers, and such guar
dlahs OF their manners, morals and reli-
glon IN a spot where every thing COM
blncs TO awaken love of country. and q
veneration or the patriots of the revolu.
hon--the cadets cannot fail to become en-
lightened men, virtuous citizens. and
brave defenders of their country's rights.
A little of the fostering care of congress,
however, IS still wanting to give to this in
sttution that broad and extensive utility
OF whichit is susceptible A furthet an.
preparation of money should be made. for
the erection of additional barracks and
other buildings. The number Of cadets
might be adyaataseouslT tic eased TO fro
hHnd1,ed, and professor of anquages
should be added TO the academy. THAT
part OF the law which ,lirec,s that they
shall g be encamped at least three month,
OF each year." ought to be repealed, not
only as unnecessary, bat as highly detri
mental to the Improvement OF the cadets
or If not wholly repealed, the time of con-
unulng IN camp should be left to the dis.
cretIon OF the superintendent. Casttame-
tation, which is the only thing inteuded
to be taught by encampment, can lie as
well taught without the necessity of con-
lining tle cadets to tents for three months
IN the year which, added to the term of
winter vacation, leaves them only half the.
year Tor mental Instruction.
These are points which deserve the se~
rlous consideration of congress; and which
II correctly decided en-, will render the
Military .academy at West FONT bless-.
'ng to generations vet unborn.
