Cadet Appointments for 1857.

We learn from our Columbia exchanges
that 1873 appointments have been made to
the State Military Academies, and that
considerable number, both Of pay and State
applicants, failed to receive appointments
in consequence of the want Of additional
quarters ut the Arsenal. The Board Of
Visitors, in their report, suggest to the Leg.
islature the expediency Of making an appro-
pration for the purpose of making this ad-
dition. These schools are rising in popu-
lar favor, being admirably adapted to the
wants of the people at large and to obviate
the necessity of making distinctions, the Leg
islalure must furnish the relief recommend.
