From me Noo York Bvening POSI-.
Tn. West Point Academy.

In looking over the late report Of General Totten,
chief engineer, we find an earnest recommendation
that the Professor Of Drawing at West Point should
be placed upon the same footing, in respect 10 the
compensation for his services az the Professors Of
Engineering, Mathematics, Ethics and Chemistry.
The report includes the Professor Of French in the
same recommendation, and urges the laborious and
responsible duties Of these gentlemen their great
ability, long experience, and the zeal and industry
with which they have exerted themselves in their
stations, as sufficient reasons for the change
Ifmen are TO be paid in proportion TO the capa-
city which they bring 10 the tasks assigned them,
and TO the diligence with which they exert their
powers the recommendation does credit 10 General
Totten's sense Of equity. Mr.. wier, painter Of
great genius and distinction, accomplished by a
long course Of study and sedulous practice at home
and sbroadj fills the place Of professor Of drawing
Should not such a man be az well paid as one who
teaches the young man algebra and geometry
Should his wages be less than those Of one who lee
lures 10 the pupils from the elsss books upon acids
and alkalies and instructs them 20 sort rocks and
distinguish the strata Of the oarthl
Some years before Mr.. wier received his appoint
rncnt the artist Leslie was sent for from London,
and made teacher Of drawing at West Point, with
an understanding that he should receive the COM
pcnsation and rank of professor. He did not wait
for Congress TO do any thing in the matter, but,
ser-s short residence, returned TO England in dis
gust There is no doubt that il he had remained
he would have been made professor, with pro-
fessor's rank and pay. The friends Of 80 renowned
an artist would not have rested a moment till he
had been placed upon high footing in regard
TO consideration aud compensation as the teacher Of
mathematics.

An oasis in the midst Of fiery deserts, a

plains of Syria, is scarcely more refresh

than an address upon the slavery, question,
conceived in the spirit Of tolerance and
brotherly love, is, at the present moment,
10 that American citizen who regards the
perpetuity of the Union as the guaranty
of human liberty. However we may diff
fer from Mr.. BEALE in some Of his posi-
tions--difference arising more from con-
flicting estimates of the value Of specific
concessions than from repugnant princi-
ples-we cannot withhold our approba-
ton Of the temper and considerateness
with which he has treated a subject which
il has become the fashion Of late to APP
proach only as public glsdiators or inter-
ested prize-6ghters.
We shall not now stop to, discuss what
we regard as a fsllacy in the address OF
the honorable representative Of the 14th
Congressional district of Virginia. We
would as soon go out Of our way to dispute

the soundness Of his general politics in
this connexion. But we must be permit
ted to say, that if the discussions in the
halls of Congress upon this unfortunate
topic were conducted in the tone of the
subjoined address, the questions involved
would be settled sooner and with better
prospect Of harmony and good neighbour
hood between the States and people of this
Union than any amount of threats, recrim..
nations and defiance could effect, though
they were Numbered from Threats which
''the immortal Jove's dread clamor coun-
terfeit ~
At a more fitting moment we shall,
perhaps, undertake to show that one of
Mr.. BEALE's points is less advantageous to
the interests he desires to serve than the
proposition contained in the Presidents
California message. This is not the pro-
per occasion, nor the most opportune sea-
son, to combat the differences which
require to be calmly and dispassionate-
ly considered. Without further introduc-
ton, we therefore submit his address,
adding merely, that such Of our Southern
readers as estimate the local fealty of their
representatives by the violence and fero-
city of their invectives at this juncture,
mete out their praises by fallacious, not
to say fatal, standard.

NIGur.-Night is beautiful in itself, but
still more beautiful in associations. It is
not linked, as day is, with our cares and
N tolls-the business and littleness of
life. The sunshine brings with it action
we rise in the morning, and our task is
before us; and night comes, and with it
rest If we leave sleep, and ask not of
dreams forgetfulness; our waking is in
solitude, and our employment is thought.
Imagination has thrown her glories around
the m~idnight-the orbs of heaven, the
silence, ~theshadows, are stepped in poetry.
Even IN the heart of a crowded city,
where the moonlights falls but upon pave
ment and root, the heart would be softened,
aud mind elevated, amid the loneliness of
nisht's deepest and %stillest hours.
