SrR-Tbe undersigned competing the Board OF
Visitors OF the United States Military Academy for
the year 1856 having met and organized at this
place on the ID day or june and having discharged
the duties committed 10 them BY your letter IL iny
iaion and by law, beg leave to make the following
report -
10 facilitate them in their various duties, commit
tees were appointed and charged with minute In
auiy into the particular subjects brought TO the at
ton Of the Board. The reports Of these committees
with the Journal Of the proceedings Of the Board,
accompanying this report will furnish the fullest
information relative TO the actual state of discipline
Instruction, police, administration fiscal affairs and
oil er concerns OF the institution to all Of which
your attention Is specially directed. Subjects Of
general nature, involving IN an eminent degree the
usefulness of the Academy, were taken up by the
Poar, acting as q committee OF the whole and will
be found embraced in the report.
The attention Of the Board has been most delibe
rately given 10 the administration Ct the Academy
and in presenting the result Of their deliberations
upon the important questions connected Herewith,
they have kept steadily before them the distinctive
objects contemplated, and 10 successfully accom-
plished in the operation Of the institution.
As first In Importance. they have considered the
propriety cf charging the field Of selection for the
superiniendcncy Of the Academy, to embrace all
arms Of the military service. To right understand
ing of this most delicate question, they would re-
mark that for period Of fty-four years, the Super.
intendency Of the Academy has been confined by
law to the corps Of engineers and this has been
the case although the range OF the institution has
been extended from its original and limited design az
a school Of engineers to embrace the wants Of the
geographical and ordnance corps and Of the artil.
lefy infantry and cavalry services II cannot be sup
posed that this exclusive rule has been the result Of
mere accident has proceeded from any partial con.
sideraton in favor of the corps OF engineers They
know otherwise. Looking 70 the pc ,ulisr compost
ton OF this corps, II Is perceived that II essentially
represents the highest scientific elements of the
military service end II may be fairly presumed tina,

Pensacola Democrat Of the i4th ut. says The
English ship Sarah, bound 10 Barcelona, which WAS
towed out over the bar Sunday last BY the Cuba,
returned day before yesterday, and made signs for

mites, the captain discovered negro man who had
secreted himself on board. lie was taken charge Of
by ole Of cur pilots and brought to the city. This
we consider very handsome conduct on the part Of
the captain. especially rs he had suffered much an
noyance from the desertion Of his own crew while
here from the lack Of efficient legal aid in recovering
