to tho United States Army and Navy


1t is well known that the only avenues to
the position of officer in the United States
Army and Navy. are through the appoint
ments of Cadet and Midshipman. The Cad
cts are sent to West Point, and the Mid
shipmen to Annapolis, where they are
thoroughly educated in the duties OF their
profession.
Noone can doubt the value and Importance
to a military man, of a thorough military edu,
cation: but, certainly it is q fact that some OF
the best officers of France were raised from
the ranks, and that their military education
had been acquired in the field instead OF
the Academy. Many Of the great naval ON
GERS of the u. States. in the last war, had been
originally in the merchant service. Proba-
hlv tbs Il States naval officers of the present
day are more highly educated and accom-
nl;shed gentlemen than the same class IA
quarter Of a century ago. and it may be that
tbev are "a good seamen. for they are re-
nuired to practice as well rs study their pro-
fession. But it is quite conceivable that
man with excellent natural aptitudes for
seamanship and soldiership, might be u very
moor scholar, and fail to pass at the Acade-
mics. At all events, if the door of promo
t;on from the ranks were left open in our
Republican army, we should be able, like
France, to command the best military talent
of the country, whether found in the school
or the camp.
The effects Of such reform upon the rank
and file would be elcvating and ennobilng,--
With the abolition ofall degrading punish
meut. aud the possibility promotion t" the
highest Offices, q very different class of men
form the mere mercenaries ofwhom it is now
comnosed would enter the American service.

Gov. Wise's recent position with regard
to the Naturalization Laws, in opposition t"
the stand taken by the Administration on
that subject, will throw him farther and
farther from the Administration party. In
deed, ON most of the prominent subjects OF
the day, he is opposed to the policy and
course of the Administration. And We may
add. too, that he is fast becoming the most
prominent candidate for next President. -
His friends numerous and active, are stirring
in his behalf, and he is the man to make
warm friends, and to enlist them zeal"usly
in his support.

satisfied It will come into general use by next
