WEST POINT

The Board of Visers at West Point adjourned
on Saturday last, after having drawn up, as we
learn, very long and detailed report, both of the
actual condition and progress of the students, and
OF the nature of the studies and instruction pursued
u the institution. The utmost satisfaction has
been expressed by those of the gentlemen com
posing the Board, whom since the adjournment
we have had he good fortune to meet, with the
!;rneral state of this establishment, which all u
ute in considering honour and benefit TO the
country.
The cadets have now, according TO their annual
custom, gone into camp, the Point and will
rem lin encamped for some weeks, during which
me they discharge all the duties of soldiers in thai
situation.
According to one of the regulations of the
School al West Point, the names of the five schol
lrs who in each class distinguished hemselv es
1t the annual examination, are published IN the
army list; and they are, we believe, considered as
aking rank from that date.
The Secretary of the Board of Visiters, Profes
or Tichenor, of Harvard, has been good enough O

gent youths who have this year attained this envIa-
