iHr AGAtFkT or " ct 4 Off. he Advantages
OF this fine institution, in national point OF view,
have been abundantly proved by the conduct Of
the officers of our army who are graduates Of the
academy, in the operations of ourand forces, thus
far against the Mexcans Nothing can exceed
the gaIlantry, discipline, and skill displayed by
these officers in all their operations. Whether in
bombarding q town, in defending camp, in
clearing pass, in storming battery, the ad-
vantages of their military education have been
prominently conspicuous.
But it Is not alone the officers of the regular
army who have distinguished themselves. We
find that the West Point graduates who have
retired from the army, but have lately enrolled
themselves in the ranks OF our volunteers, have
done honor to the institution in which they
received their education, by their brilliant exploits.
Among those of the volunteer force who are
graduates of West Point, and have sgnalIy
distinguished themselves, Colonel Jefer-
son Davis, Colonel Mitchell, and Captain Blan-
chard. The latter gentleman has gained highly
honorable reputation by his very effective and
brilliant: services in the field, every occasion
where danger was to be faced or glory to be won.
The same may be said OF the other two gentlemen
named in connection with him, and Of many
others whose names we cannot now Ill to mind.
On the fields of Palo Alto and Resaca de la
Palma, the West Point graduates covered them
selves with glory Perhaps the greatest trial their
,urage and discipline could sustain, was the
CALLING fire of the enemy in the narrow streets OF
Monterey, and for three days did they sustain
themselves unfinchingly, and lead the troops
der their command to victory under the most dis.
couraging circumstances, in the face of disheart.
enng odds, and ia a locality with which they were
entirely unacquainted
The Mexican war, if it produce no other good
effect, will at least forever stop the demagoguical
clamors Of the mobocrats who have been in the
habit of making political capital out of their abuse
OF West Point. One of the greatest objections
they urge against the institution is, that many
young men after receiving their education at West
Point, resign and never enter the army. But we
find that these men, on the breaking out Of the
war, turn their military education to good account
They at once volunteer and are elected officers by
their fellow citizens, who have every confidence
in their skill and vaor, from the fact that they
have been graduates of an institution, the dsci-
pline of which incucates and stamps upon the
character those qualities essential to a military
man.
We trust that we shall hear no more carping
against West Point.
