OF the army.
The object thus offered to the ambition Of
the cadets, became for the first time subject
of competition among them at the late general

ton had been adopted SO recently as to afford
but little time for preparation, the exhibition
of talent and proficiency OH the part OF the

extremely interesting to all friends of the in
stitution.--The examination of all the classes
occupied about three weeks; at the end of
which the rolls of merit being made out, the

1t is stated i'm the Philadelphia Union, that
Professor Hare, of William and Mary College,
i'll Virginia. has invented an apparatus for
burning Tar instead of oil, in lighting cities
and manufac tories.-It is said that tar burned
in thisapparatus gives strong and clear light !;
and il is computed, that four or five barrels of
tar will serve lamp for one year, and will
give eight times the light of a common street
lamp. The following is given in the Union as
a description of the apparatus 1t " con-

FIVE pounds ftar to supply the ls.:.i 1T uni

pipe attached TO il. The lamp presents al one
end cylindrical mouth for receiving the pipe
OF the reservoir; at the other end cylindrical
cup, in which the tar is ignited, the flame be-

bottom of the lanthorn so as to occupy its axis
in passing to the draught pipe. All the air
which supplies this is made 10 meet in the same

OH Amelia, December ~. lSI7.
Strive have received orders from our
government to take possession of Amelia
island, and to occupy the Post of Fernan-
dina with part of our force, which will
be moved over as soon as it will be con-
venlent for your troops TO evacuate it.
Ie avoid unnecessary delay, we think
proper at this time 10 inform you, in the
event of your acquiescence in this de-
mand, that you will be at liberty to de-
part with the forces under yonrcommand,
and such property as belongs unquesti-
onably 10 them Will be held sacred.
You are TO leave the public property
found by Gen. McGregor at Fernandina,
in the same condition it was taken, and
the property of the Inhabitants of A
melia Island must be restored TO them.
where they have been forcibly dispossess-
ed OF il, and no depredations on private
property from this period will be permit
ted with impunity.
should you, contrary 10 the expectati-
ons of the President of the u. States, re-
fuse TO give us peaceable possession of
the Island, the consequence of resistance
must rest with yeu.
We have the honor to be, very respect
fully, your most obedient servants.
