THR MILITARY AoApExr AT WEST PoNr.-
In another column we give some facts Of inter
est 10 reference 10 this institution--its history
antiquities, &c.-well worthy Of perusal. Atten-
ton Is called, in tie article to which we refer,
TO the fact that the present pay Of cadet at the
Academy Is not sufficient for his support This
results in part from the great depreciation in
the currency, and also from the general rise in
tho prices Of commodities that Is independent
of that depreciation, and depends upon the
scarcity OF material and labor. This Is grave
evil, and ought to be remedied at once Ger
talniy cadets in the military school ought to
receive as much as Is paid in the naval school.
West Point has been the absolute salvation Of
the country in the present great struggle. We
have received from thcnce generals for our
armies who are the ablcst military men OF the
age, and must not be niggardly with that
school. NiggcrLead politicians have snccred at
IL. and pretended 10 dcspise military science
even: but every day shows the miserable re-
suits Of tie appointment Of political generals,
ana the sooner we have done with tlnt the bet
ter. BY all means let the government 20 wba.

capacity.
The late defeat Of General Rosecraus Is but
another addition TO thai heavy budget Of blum
ders resulting from the military incapacity OF
Mr. Lncoln's administration. To this fruitful
source of our misfortunes in the field they may
all be traced. from the beginning of the war to
the present day
In the outset, against the remonstranccs and
warnings of General Scott, the administration
was overruled by satanic committee Of poll
ticians, and the army of General Mcdowell was
hurried for ward TO our first heavy disaster at
Manassas. Next. the War Office, assuming the'
command in detail of our armies in the field,
under the direction of Mr.. Stanton the plans
and combinations OF General Mcclellan weLe
set aside, his army was divided into several
Independent armies widely separated from eech
other, and the results were the terrible retreat
of our army from Richmond, and the disastrous
campaign of General Pope. Next, after General
Mcclellan, with the Army Of the Potomac
under his own control, had expelled the army
OF Lee from Maryland, and was pushing for
ward close upon its heels in Virginia. there
was another change. Mcclellan was super
seded by Burnside, and precious time was lost,
| which the enemy so industriously improved in
| his ntrenchments that when our army moved
against them we suffered q fearful repulse
| Then General Hooker was appointed in the
| place Of Burnside; and after months of prepa-
ration be crossed the Rappahannock, only to
be driven ignominiously back again by the
enemy, after capturing the heights which
i Il h.I Ia a. .rk Hal ttA
minstration let well enough alone, and trusted
| TO the army In the hands Of Mcclellan, all
these misadventurcs might have been avoided,
and Richmond might have been ours a year
ago.
There was another grand military operation,
seldom referred to, which we think may be set
down as one OF the most stupid and most pro.
digious blunders Of all the blundcrs OF tho war.
We allude to the grand Port Royal expedi-
ton. II was gathered together an enormous
feet, with land force oftwenty thousand men,
in Hampton Roads. There it was, within gun
SHOT Of Norfolk, and its stores Of two thousand
pieces Of artillery, subsequently employed by
the enemy from Roanoke Island TO vicksburg;
and there were at Norfolk immense magazines
OF ammunition, and military and naval supplies
Of ell kinds. There was Norfolk with all these
spoils Of war, which might have been as easily
captured as Port Royal; and from NoSolk
General Sherman, on his transports, could have
pushed up 10 Richmond; for there were then no
. serious ob',ractions along the river, and no
forts Of any kind arouad the city. The rebel
army OF Virginia was at Manassas a huodreJ
miles away, and the Army Of the Potomac was
watching IL. There were the means acd there
was the opportunity for decisive blow at the
/, very heart Of the rebellion; and yet our grand

and the seventh Connecticut volunteers rushed
impetuously forward, and by their dauntless
and irresistible bravery gained the parapet of
the fort 1t was the work of but moment,
and the fort was in our hands, and had the
men who obstinately stood and battled upon
TIE parapet been supported, they could have
held the ground which their bravery had Sc
cured, butt regret to record 1.-THE seventy
sixth Pennsylvania volunteers and ninth
Maine volunteers hung back and their mo-
mentary INDIGESTION decided the fortunes of
the fight. The seventh Connecticut volun-
teers had to give way, and what promised to
be victory was turned into a repulse, and
our troops retired in disorder and confusion,
under destructive fire from the fort. Our
loss is estimated at not more than one hum
dred and fifty killed, wounded, and missing.
Col. Rodman, seventh Connecticut volunteers,
was seriously wounded. Lieut.. Col. Bedell,
third New Hampshire volunteers, and Mai.
Hicks, seventy-sixth Pennsylvania volunteers,
were also both wounded, but not seriously.
The prisoners captured report that General
Ripley is in command of all the defences
around Charleston. Col. Graham is in com
mand of the forces on Morris island, and Capt.
}. &. Mitchell, the Irish refugee, was in COM
mand OF the batteries at the southern eXtrem
ity The force in these batteries was 500
men, large part of whom belonged to the

great execution among them, and they all
bear testimony to the excellence OF the artil-
lery practice of our men.

gone complete overhaul and her deck tim

whites. When the mob attacked the house
Thursday, one of them took refuge on the
roof, and the other crouched in a corner of
his room. By the kind offices of the whites,
the attention of the mob was diverted from
the room in which the man lay concealed, but
they searched thoroughly the rest of the house
and the cellars during the night. One of the
negroes said he could see the lights moving
around all night. The mob did not cease their
search till four or five in the morning. AT
length the negroes were rescued by II butcher
boy residing in the neighborhood, who came
along, and baaYeled them up in q hogshead
on his cart, and thus conveyed them to the
station house.-N. Y. Tribune.
