FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT
AT WASHINGTON.
December "a.

December "a.
Mr.. Robertson OF Louisiana, offered
for the adoption Of the house the follow
ing resolution
s. Resolved, that the committee on
military affairs be instructed to enguire
into the expediency Of educating in the
military school at West Point, the sons
of Officers. non commissioned Office and
'pfiyates who have fallen in the late war
fighting the battles Of their country"
Mr.. Robertson prefaced dis motion
with a few brief options upon the sub
ject. Adyerting to the system Of giving
Education at the public expense, he said
lie was DESTROYS there should be some
Cams on the part Of those who were TO
receive the benefit Of it--& that it should
,ot be lasished away upon the sons Of
those who were able to educate their
themselves. lie declared him
self averse to wasting the money of our
poor citizens in bes:owiag instruction in
the high branches Of literature, upon the
sons OF the wealthy. lie was not tie
sirous to see establishments at this time
tor purposes which must be conliued to al
few ard the effects Of which must be re-
mGte. Tie would much rather that every
man in the Union could read and write
than see a few men OF high erudition
scattered ever TIE country. Ia the course
gentlemen were now pursuing they were
at the wrong end, and the in
sritutiOns nov projected sAvored rather
OF ostentation thar Lenerolence. The
most proper OBJ acts Of national beauty he
considered to be the SOFAS Of those citi
zens who feil fighting in defence of their
coantfy-Io the orphans Of those Who'll
iost their parents in that glorious strug
Gle, government ought to stand in the
place Of a parent, and TO afford thei
means ofrescuing them from that state
Of ignorance AMI vice tn which the loss
Of parental protection subjected them
Mr. f'a'madse suggested the propriety Of
the resolution to all academic
created by the public--with which a.
amendment the resolution 2asset.
She vaccipatioa bill ms cad Of passing
was ordered TO lie On the table.
