time for the usua! annual examination of the
Students ia our naval aud military academies
having now arrived. these Interesting ccTrmp-
nics are being proceeded with. The cadets of the
naval school were reviewed last week by Admit
rails Farragut and Porter at Newport, whittier
the Academy was temporarily transferred from
Annapolis during the war. The young men
who are destined TO become the future officers
of the navy had therefore, an opportunity OF
seeing in their examiners the finest models of
naval commanders which the world presents
to-day az examples Of hevoism, patriotism end
slill in their profession, demonstrated in the
cannot be lost 1t will make an impression
upon the plastic minds 81 these youths, which
will remain in after life az stimulus TO great
deeds-an incentive to initiate and rival the
career of men who have reflected honor upon
themselves and their country.
The military cadets of West Point also are
now undergoing their annual examination
under the supervision of our two greatest gem
erals. General Sherman went up there from
this city yesterday. and General Grant will
follow on Thursday. The veteran General
Scott is already there. Thus the future soldiers
Of the republic will he presented to. and OK
horted by, men whose names will be forever
historic. They will meet face TO face the living
heroes fresh from the scenes Of victory. and the
great military hero of generation which pre-
coded them. and will learn to look up to them
with generation az types of what they them
selves aspire to- The influence of such an event
upon those who are graduating in the same
school with Grant and Sherman will be deep
and lasting. The deeds OF ancient heroes,
whom history has taught these young men to
emulate will be az nothing compared to the
force with which this visit will impress itself
upon their characters.
In them they will recognize the value of the
! institution and the studies which have created
these soldier children OF the natiOn--Once stu
dents like themselves-and conducted them to
the highest pinnacle of fame. The career OF
| such men rs Grant and Sherman enfOrces upon
| public opinion the importance OF our Military
| Academy, which was pretty well tested during
| the Mexican war, and has since proved OF in
estisnable value TO the country, and should
suggest to the government the necessity Of sus-
tanning the institution ut West Point and the
Naval Academy by every possible menus This
war lms demonstrated u very prominent fact
that while all The political generals have
proved failures, and have fallen ont ofsight the
West Point officers have achieved cminence and
success. The value to the country OF maintan.

RUMoR or AN EXTRA SESSION on CoNGREss.A
rumor has been set afioat from Washington
that President johnson will probably before
long issue call for an extra session of Con-
gress, and there may be something in il. The
long interval OF six months tO the regular
meeting Of the two houses may be longer than
the Executive viii think il expedient to wait,
especially each house upon the question of
admitting the members elected thereto from
any state is the absolute judge, yea or nay.
Thus the concurrence Of the two houses is
necessary to the consummaton OF the work of
reconstruction in each and all Of the late
rebcIous States. In this view, and in order
TO secure some uniform system in a law from
Congress. il h not Improbable that President
Jobusor' may call an extra session. and lay
before the two houses not only his general
programme OF reconstruction. but some import
ant suggestions in reference to the relief and
encouragement TO labor ana trade Of The
impoverished white and the cmancipatcd black
popaaiion Of the South, and in. reference. also,
10 tbeir rights of property, confiscatons and
taxations. lie may likewise hnd il expedicnt

and me question of general bankrupt law.
