February IL, 1857.
To Gov. WISE.

Mr.. J. A. WASHINGTON:
Dear Sir: Feeling deep interest in the future
safety and improvement of Mount Vernon, and be-
ing impressed with the propriety and necessity Of
accomplishing it without delay, am impelled to
address you, to entreat that you viii reconsider and
withdraw your determination expressed in your
letter to the National HlteHigeNeer in April Last,
and consent to place the estate once more at the
disposal of Virginia. l do SO, confident that no
differences exist which cannot and will not be sat-
lsfactorlly arranged; and hope. therefore, that
you will accede to the unsiverssl wishes Of patriots
IN this matter as your motive in desiring to place
the estate under the protection Of Virginia, is to Sc
cure its sacredness and safety inviolate.
am, with sentiments of the highest coDsidera-
ton, yours, respectfully,

age should have been willing TO devote their sons
to a vocation which at present is little likely TO
bring emoument OF honor; and, in the second place
should have OIerestimated the capacity of their
children for that very vocation. Considering the
position Of the United States and the doubt wbeth
er for fifty years hence our country can be engaged
in any honorable war we think we should pslse
very Rravely over chance Of placing one whom we
loved in profession which a great English COM
mander once characterized as dsmnable." But
certainly We should not desire to see him contend
ing with Indians or Mexcans, or wearing out his
existence in frontier fort. And even if fields
which the world has consented to regard nober
and more honorable were before him, We do not
think that the vanity of beholdng him in epsuettes
or the chance Of reading his name in dispatch
would blind to his physical and mental unfitness
for military service.
But if so many young men are nominated for
West Point, and so few are found equal to the ex-
actions Of the Academy, breaking down at various
points of their career, and cashered almost before
trey have commenced, it seems to us that there
must be something radically false in the system Of
can be properly blamed for winnOwing its classes,
for, as its object is TO make good soldiers, it must
be Spartan in its discipline and Procrustean in its
exactions. But we may well ask why it is sub
iected to such unnecessary Disadvantages Why
it must be supplied from year to year with such n-
tractsbe material Why so much of its energy
and so many Of its resources should be expended
in experiments upon incOmpetency and stupidity,
which can only result in failurel We must needs
expect in any academic institution an occasional
individual failure: but can there be any need Of
this wholesale discontinue We need not point
out how much Of the time and mind of the man.
apement must be devoted to investigations which
only prove negatively that their objects cannot be
good soldiers; nor can it be necessary to advert to
the pecuniary expense to which the Government is
subjected If one hundred cadets are matricuated,
and only thirty graduate, the cost of educating
those who push their way through is nearly three
times what it ought to be. We are not ready with
any plan for the ameGoratiOn of this evil, but we
are sure that nothing can be accomplished under
the present system, which is merely one Of per-
sonal accommodation and patronage. If We must
have Military Academy, of the necessity of which
the history of our wars has not yet convinced us,
NAV not those who are to share its advantages or
Disadvantages be selected upon some rule which
shall involve scholarship, personal character and
mental and ply steal capacity

THE Minnesota ELECTION
Correspond sues OF The N. Y. Tribune.


on BOARD STEAMER IrAscA Mississippi River,
orr WIsoNA NJ t., Thursday, June g. 1857.
When the Itasca left st. Paul at o'clock last
evening, the returns received at the Office Of The
Mnntsotian indicated that the Republicans had
carried the Constitutional Convention, but it was
not certain as il was not then known to what ex-
tent fraudulent voting was carried out Of St Paul,
and Germans District where most of the treason TO
the ballot box perpetrated; besides, the south
ern portion of the Territory was not then heard
from.
At this point met Mr. Sheets, of The 0,eatOma
Register, who informs me that he has Travelled 100
miles through the southern portion of the Territory
and that the Republicans have carried WinOna and
Wabashaw Counties, electing six Delegates; that
the whole Republican ticket is elected in Olmstead
COunty-lour Delegates; that Fillmore County was
reported largely Republican, which would give six
more Republican Delegates; that the returns indl-
cate that GoOdhue, Dodge and Freedom have
elected six more Republican Delegates-being the
whole ticket. Dodge County, which gave Demo
cratic majority last Fall, now gives from 20 to 30
majority for Freedom. In GOOdhue the Democratic
candidate (Wm. FreebOrn) is very unpopular, which
would increase the Republican vote there. The
Democrats carried Goodhue last Fall by 90 majority.
Rice County is also reported having gone Repuo-
hcan, which will give two Delegates from the Rep
resentatiye District, and elect the Delegates from
that Council District but we do not claim but two
Republicans. In the Representative District com
posed Of Steele, Waseca, Faribaut and NcOllet the
Republican Delegates are elected no doubt; also
the Delegates at large. Steele County gave over
go Republican majority.
From present Indications the result foOts up about
az follows allowing one or two delegates 10 the
Democrats which il is doubtful if they secure:

$500 600 in case, and $4,000 year to be paid to

the Barren Island of Perrin, at the entrance of the

The Military Academy at West Point has just
been subjected to its annual examination, and a
f,ct has been developed which is certainly worthy
of attention and which we notice did receive atten-
ton from one of the examiners. OF nearly one
hundred cadets who entered the class addressed by
him, hardly forty remained. Nearly two. thirds OF
those originally matriculated had been dismissed
from the institution for breach of discipline for
deficiency in scholarship or, perhaps, for lack of
health robust enough to encounter the routine of
the establishment. The military gentleman who
stated these facts dwelt pathetcally upon the
disappointment which this rigid enforcement of
the regulations had occasiobed, and upon the
social sorrow Of which it had been the cause. We
hope that we fully appreciate the parental NOR
tifcatiOn thus alluded TO; and yet we do not
clearly see why any parent should feel esPecial
paDgs, because bis boy is too weak to sustain
vigorous or an artificial course Of study or has not
displayed peculiar aptitude for pure mathematics,
or has shown himself peculiarly wanting in the
sublime and noisy art Of gunnery 1t is better to

Owing to a largely increased supply Of beef
cattle this week over the previous week at Bulls
Head in Forty-fourth street there was slight
decline in price. equal to from oue-half to one cent
On the pound of meat, but not enough, without
some further assurance Of permanency, to benefit
the consumers. The only way for them to do that
is to decline buying meat and appropriate the
money usually spent for that to the purchase OF
strawberries, which are now coming in plenty and
reasonably cheap. The price Of frst-class cattle
yesterday will be found by regular report to be
equal to l3a l3Ic pound for the net weight in
the quarter.
