Facts Concerning West Point.

The Military Academy at West Point
II has often been remarked, furnished
much aid and comfort to the jeff. Davis
army. Some have gone so far as to say
that on the breaking out of the rebellion
large majority ofthc graduates resign.
ed Tor service to secession. Like OBJ.
serva tons and slurs have been made a,
the expense and loyalty Of that institu.
tlon' which many persons easily credited.
We can assure our readers that these re-
marks and reports are not founded on
facts. Indeed we are under the impress
sion that they are only circulated by
those who arc not entirely friendly to our
government and its cause. For a long
time we had intended to refut, these sto.
RIGS, by argument; but we might use the
space ofa column on the subject, aud not
bring II 10 so satisfactory conclusion as
we are now enabled TO do by the facts
aud figures before us. The proverbs,
" Facts are stubborn things" and I" Fig
ures can't lie" are somewhat mus,y, but
they serve the purpose. in this case SO we
use them-thc sayings and the iacts.--
We are assisted in this matter by q small
pamphlet recently issued by Van Most
Rad, entitled "Are the West Point
Graduates Loyal !" Tho author, Ed.
ward Chaunccy Marshal, consumes very
few pages, and yet succeeds in answer
ing this question to the certain satisfac-
tion Of all those who point with pride to
the noble military academy. The statis-
ties Mr.. Marshal furnishes ought to be,
and are, reliable and ineontrorertible /;
Tor they were proc ured from the off
army registers of the United States, as
well us from other accurate data. A
very careful examination of the register
for January, 1861, made by the author, re-
vcals that there was in the United States
army, in 1860, total of seven hundred
aud forty seven graduates in the Aca.
deny. To these he adds the classes who
graduated in June, 1861, Numbering sew
enty-thrcc,) and obtains a total Of eight
hundred and twenty graduates. This
number represents all the West Point
graductes in the army who were subject
ed to the dsintcgrated process of the re-
bclion. From this number hc subtracts
the lwo hundred and three, (for this is ally
who resigned, were dismissed, etc., from
November, 1860, through the year 1861,
and we have tho result that sir hundred
and sevsateen West Point graduates re-
manned in the army, loyal men. Four
resigned to accept commissions in our
volunteer service, making altogether six
hundred and twonty-ono. From these
statements, the author draws some infer
ences. He is surely correct in saying
"The proportion of six hundred and
tweny-one graduates who remained 10y
al to one hundred and ninety-seven who
are disloyal, and Of whom tho lurger
number Zone hundred and seventy .eight)
Tsre nations Of SlGvehOlding States,
should give US renewed confidence in
this noble nursery of soldiers, which was
the child OF the Revolution, and was
planned and formed by GEoRe WAsmse-
roY, TIMOTHY PIcxsnSo, HENRY Knox,
aud ALEXANDER HAMILTON the purest
and best of the patriot sires of the repub-
lie"

not help eonourring with Mr.. Marshall.

Williamsburg, reported that Hooker was

cut off: that there were no soldiers In

Freedom Of Discuss Ion.

Gen. Hascall, one of Gen. Burnsidss
subordinates in Indiana, has issued an
/" order which is attracting considerable
attention. The, gist of it is in these
words: f.
y "An newspapers ,.r public speakers TT at
counsel or encourage resistance tc the
Consumption act, or any ether la" OF Con-
gress passed as a war measure, or that en-
dearor to bring the .yar policy Of the Gorern-
sasnt into ~disrepdie, will ne Considered As
| violating the order ABOVE alluded to, and
treated aceordiny.y"
They have an ingenious legal fiction in
[ Englanc. tina: "the King can dono wrong"
hr:t. it remained for Gen Hascall (who is
heO to promulgate in this country the
/ doctrine that the administration can do no
wrong. 1t is undoubtedly the duty OF the
administration to exact obedience to the
laws, the CONSUMPTION Act as we'll as any
other But the man who imagines the
American people, while they obey, will also
meekly approve every law of Congress or
decree or order of Abe Lincoln, or Hal
leck, or any of their understrappers, is a
fool, as this man Hascall is, Of the first
water. In our honest estimation, the very
salvation of this country hangs on bring
ing the present war policy OF the Govern
ment into disrepute," 50 that it may
be abandoned; and it will take considera'
BILE to choke US off from saying so.

another negro in the employ of the q NJ.
Last night these two negroes had been to-
gether and were playing cards in our
negro boys tent. About taps, Invent out

light and stop their playing-after which
they both went to the Q. Ms tent, and
laid down there to sleep This morning
after discovered the theft went to our
negro and asked him fine knew an, thing
about it. He said no, but from his con-

some OF our men to sound him, and after
short time the negro confessed that he

night and had come to my tent, and that
the z. NJ. S negro had gone in and tax en-
the watch. and that then he still had it
That shortly after that they had gone
back TO the q NJ S tent and went to bed.
This was corotorated by the guard, who

of either the Colonel's or O. Ms tent and
walk down towards my tent On the
strength Of this confession, went with
our negro up to the @. NJ 8 tent, and af.
ter satisfying myself which was the right
negro, seized him by the collar and pre-
scented pistol to his head, and endeavored
to scare him into confession. But he
was too old a thief, and Professionally de-
MED all knowledge of the matter; al.
though the other negro insisted that he
was with him when he stole the watch. l

The Pontiac Sentinel is in raptures over
q speech made at democratic meeting in
that place recently, by fellow named J
w. Howard, Of Pope cousty. The Sentinel
says this Howard was considered SO good
democrat, that he was elected clerk Of
the lower house by the last legislature !;
yet that he made a good war speech,
which means that he supported the Presi-
dents abolition policy, &c. We know all
about this man Howard lie was elected
to no c!erkship by the last legislature, but
did few days writing for the enrolling
clerk. His real or pretended business at
Springfield was, to inyeigle democrat. in
to the order Of the K G. G, and some
other secret disloyal league, the name Of
which we have forgotten. But his charac-
ter was SO VIGOROUSLY scaley, that he
probably met with poor success. as latterly
he has been at Chicago and sold out to the
abo!tioaists. lie is a man Of some educa.
ton and a fluent speaker, but that is all
that can be said in his favor We observe
the Ottawa RepuJliean is also sold by him
