From the London Observer. 'A$-'~
The ACCOMPLISHMENT Of her Royal High
ness was expected to have taken place
early in July. The birth of the Prince on
Saturday, although somewhat earlier than
was anticipated, was certainly not so pre-
mature as that of Prince Victor. The
royal infant, it is said, is remarkably strong
and healthy, and shows no sign or indica-
ton whatever of premature birth. Our
readers will learn also with unalloyed sat-
isfaction that the health of her Royal
Highness the Princess of Wales is as salts
factory as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. Her Royal Highness was
present at Mr.. Halle's concert, at st.
James's Hall, on Friday afternoon, and had
returned to Marlborough House in all her
usual health, with the intention of joining
the dinner party which was to assemble
there (and did assembly, at eight O'Clock.
A slight feeling of indisposition, however,
deferred her Royal Highness from enter.
ing the dining-room, and as the evening
drew on indications presented themselves
which speedily brought the medical attend
ants to her assistance, when, after q brief
suffering, bravely borne, the Princess be-
came the happy mother Of second prince
in the line OF British kings. Theevent ESQ
happily brought about has occasioned an
universal feeling of delight throughout the
metropolis, and the lodge at Marlborough
House was thronged from an early to a
late hour on Saturday with visitors anx-
ious to read the medical bulletin, and to
assure themselves that all was really as
well as their fervent hope would suggest.

Mr.. JAY CooKE, Of Philadelphia, thu
agent Of the government for obtaining
subscriptions to the National Bonds, hss
issued pamphlet claiming that "our ma
tional debt is national blesing.r The
percentage which Mr.. jar Oooxz has re-
ceived on the bonds that have passed
through his hands, may have made the
debt blessing to himself, but to the great
masses Of the people it is grievous bur-
den, from which they wish to be relieved
as soon as possible. Mr.. OooKE seeks to
commend his doctrine by citing the system
of taxation in England:
The Englishmans 100000 in consols are
mortgages. each and all upon the nobleman's
Britain, upon every coal mine and upon every
ship. q mortgage of record upon every
mug of beer held in the fist Of q work
ingman throughout the kingdom, mortgage
signed, sealed and delivered, upon the whole
life, aye, on the death and burial, of the peo-
pie OF al England; - This promise to
trustful and thorough system of taxation. for
the enforcement of which the whole power of
the government, military and civil is pledged.
And this is called a national blessing"
the source Of national prosperity, and Mr..
JAY CooKE has become SO crazy with his
shoddy gains that he believes the Amer
lean people will endorse such ridiculous
nonsense. A mortgage upon the life, age,
death and burial of the people, !" " backed
up by the most vigorous and thorough sys-
tenn Of taxation" upon every animate and
inanimate thing in the land, is doubtless
very gratifying to Mr.. JAY Cooks, but we
would advise him to moderate his joy, or
not give public expression to it. No man
in the land save WENDAIL PHILLIPS, has
yet dared to breathe reputation. The
people submit willingly to the most vexa-
tious taxation ever devised, but too much
exultation on the part of those who hold
the mortgages on their "life, age, death
and burial, should be restrained.

West Point.

The New York Times contains the re-
suit and official lists of the examination of
the graduating class at West Point for
1866, which numbers sixty-eight cadets.
The most distinguished in studies are
CHARLES w. RAYMOND, Of Brooklyn,
N. Y; LEWIS @. OvERMAN, of Philadel-
phia, Penn. ALEXANDRA M. MILLER, of
Washington, D. c.; REUBEN W. PETR1-
KIN, of -; W. r. LvERMoRE, o
Massachusetts, DAVID W. PAYNE, of New
York. Of these, Cadet RAYMOND will
probably be first, and Cadet OvRRMAN
second. Of the whole class the Times
says:
their record shows them to be far above the
average: morally, their superintendent states
he has never met more honorable men; physi-
cally. they are handsome, brighteyed, clear
faced. firm footed, well developed, and bid fair
to be an honor not alone to their alma mater
but to their country.
A high sense of honor and OF truth en-
couraged and maintained as standard or CODE
supreme above all earthly law, and inferior
oniy to the win of the Creator, and the result
is that the superintendent claims never to have
met more honorable set of men IN his LIE
than the Corps of Cadets. Their ideas and
private codes at times are erroneous, but they
are reasonable, open to conviction. and amena-
BILE to the decisions of the right.
The only cadet from Minnesota, we be-
lieve, is son of GsoRGE HszLEP, Esq, OF
St. Peter. His standing is, I'M engineer
ing, 8; ethics, 10; mineralogy and geol-
ogy, IL; ordnance and gunnery, Is;

examining board this year is composed OF
some inveterate enemies of the academy,
and it is supposed they viii recommend
some radical changes in its government.
A change in the age Of admission is sug-

to 81. The difficulty of admission is
shown from the fact that of 4,701 who

Wagon Train En- Route

From the Wheeling mtelhgenccr.
There is now en- route from WASHINGTON
City to Louisville, KY, several immense
government wagon trains. Thew travel
the whole distance overland, and their great
extent excites the wonder and curiosity of
the people along the route, who have never
seen 30 large number of teams in one
train. Yesterday the first of the series ar
rived in this city, and passed over the sus-
pension bridge to the island, where they
will remain until this morning, when they
will resume their westward march. This
train numbers two hundred and fifty-two
wagons, and two thousand and sixteen
mules, each wagon being drawn by six
mules, with two leading behind. The
drivers are all darkies, duly impressed with
the dignity of their position, and having
travelled over 80 large portion of Uncle
Sans domain, they have adopted very
large views as to the extent of his posses
sions and the amount of his wealth. They
are proud of their new master. and are
willing to live and die in his service. The
mules, on coming in sight of the water.
being very thirsty, set up such braying,
the like whereof was never before heard
in these parts. The citizens on the island
had the benefit Of this concert free of
charge. There are yet one thousand wae-
ons to arrive, and they win have the OBJ
portunity of enjoying similar favors, for all
Of which they should be truly thankful.
Each train is from four to five miles long.
As we behold this one feature in military
operations, We wonder that the national
debt Is 90 small. It has been generally
supposed that this is Shermanis wagon
train; but we are informed that such Is
not the fact. The train is made up at
Washington City from various sources.
Some of the mules are part of those
brought through by Sherman, but how
many we are unable to say. There are
also different surmises and reports as to the
purpose in sending them West; but we
suspect that pretty much all the army
transportation has been drawn to the
East, and the government is DESTROYS of
distributing it more generally throughout
the country, and wishes to have q fair
supply In the West to meet emergencies.

The Radicals Dismayed.

The Chicago Tribune and other radical
journals are taken entirely aback by the
determined stand Of President JOHNSON
on the question of negro suffrage in the
South. The North Carolina proclamation,
they thought, was bad enough. In the
other Southern States they hoped that a
different system would be adopted; that
the Governors appointed would be North
ern men, and that measures would be taken
which would not only disfranchise nearly
all of the Southern citizens, but which
would also open the way, at least, for the
negro to vote. But now that even the
State of Mississippi, the home of JEFF.
DAVIS, is reconstructed and brought
back into practical relations with the Union
on the same principles as were adopted in
the case of North Carolina, their rage
knows no bounds. They are convinced
now, what they were 10th to believe at first,
that the President has cut loose from them,
and is determined to carry on the govern
ment without them.
But they, on their part, are determined
that he shall not do this They knew the
hold that they possessed on the late Presi-
dent, how they compelled him to yield to
"spressure, "and they are determined, if
possible, to acquire and maintain similar
ascendancy of the present Executive.
They bave found out already that ANDREW
JOHNSON is different man to deal with
than ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The basis of their
plan OF reconstruction is the appointment
of Northern men as governors and Judges
of all the Southern States, and universal
suffrage for the blacks. In this they have
been signally defeated by the policy which
the President has adopted in North Caro-
lima and Mississippi, and which will be
carried out in every other Southern State.
