are not so good they were. aud. ~ the

consequence OF tho ipsucencv OF pay the cadets

month Thus tho government dscrminatce against the
service that has saved IL iu this war.
Since March 10, ls02-its Commencement have
been admitted TO West Point 1860 cadets Out or this
number New York has had the lions share Of 64s the
largest number accredited any Stae Delaware has
had tho smallest number-4l South Carolina has only
had 1885, and Virginia s74 the rather more than
half and the other rather than quarter Of the num-
ber admitted from Empire state. This win correct
somewhat the popular notion that the Southern States

advantages OF the Academy than Northern States have
More than onethrd OF the whole number admitted
havo failed 70 graduate through deficiency In The requi

vacant until the present term II has only been de
cided To f these vacancies. Eghtythree cadets have
been already admitted for this purpose. Forty four Of
these are from the army Twenty private soldiers
No alarmist politician who looks upon the Military
Academy nursery Of aristocratic ideas will believe
these twenty soldiers to be aristocrats Indeed, the
srstocracy Of Vest Point has been popular bugbear,
but IL is true, nevertheless, that West Point numbers
among its graduates but very few Of the Of wealthy
men, and docs number many who are tho sons Of me-
chanics, poor farmers, and even day laborors.

Shreveport News, brought ny n gentleman
just frcm til at place, that the Yankee gun
boat, Queen of the We t, which succeeded
in passing the batteries at Vicksburg, dur
ing fog, and which has been doing consid-
erabl mischief on the river below Vicks-
burg, has at last been caught. She attempt
ed to come up Red River, but when some dis
lance below Alexandria, met an impcdi-
rent in the shape of a Confederate batter,
which so peppered her, that she was COM
PEELED TO surrender, together with the Ferry
Boat, De SOTO, which the Yankees had i'm.
provised into n sort of tender to the Q. of
the W. Good for our boys. We thought
the Yankee had got himself into ticklsh
place, when We heard that he had passed
Nicksburg, and so it has proved.
