An institution combining the scieuce Of the
West Point Academy, and of Polytechnic In
%stitutes, with the classical literature of our
best colleges, adding the modern languages,
and supcradding practical schools OF Law and
Engineering, nearly realizes the long-telt desi-

of western progress-a university where all
may select a course Of study to suit their time,
means, and professional destination.
Mr. Davicss, the Professor of Law, is known
in the various Courts as a practitioner OF great
ability, varied learning, long experience, and
exalted character. His eminent qualifications,
the wholesome exercise and discipline Of the
Institute, and the convent observation of the
forms of judicial proceedings, offer unusual in
ducements to those who are earnest to achieve
distinction as sound lawyers.
Civil Engineering
will be thoroughly and practically taught in the
Western Military Institutc-the professor,
Col. Morgan, being one of the most skillful
and experienced Engineers in the United
States. All the instruments connected with
that department, have been procured at consl-
derable cost, and of the best quality.
The superintendent takes the liberty Of sta
ting that he is now offered 1915 per month for
competent assistant Engineers. One of his for
mer pupils receivesat present $4,000 per annum
as principal Engineer Of railroad in Kentucky,
whilst others of the same class are receiving in
different parts of the United States, $4,000,
$500, or $1,000 a year as Assistant Engineers.
Tho time is rapidly approaching when there
will be Il great demand for such as have been
prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mil
itary Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying
that they will readily command $1,000 or ST.
500 per annum. Every man Of observation
must see that the gigantic enterprises already
proposed, will give birth to hundreds of others,
tributary to them. The rapidadvancement of
our whole country, and the eagerness of our
people, 1of exploring the hluden resources OF
the new States and the newly acquired terrific
ry, will give ample scope for ages. to come, to
the skill and enterprise of the Engineer, the
Mineralogist, the Surveyor and the Architect.
Young men who have an aptitude for the Ma
thematical and Physical sciences, will have a
wide field opened to them for engaging in an
honorable, a healthful and lucrative pursuit, for
which they may be thoroughly and practically
qualified, in a short time, and at small expense,
at the Western Military Institute.
