the Board of Visitors to settle thequeg

Jly ctirect.

amplea of proficiency in topography,

"h. Ihe important advantages arising
mth* connection of mathematical science
[h military education being univercially
|nnwled«ed, it is a cause of peculiar sat
[ctiun to the Board of Visitors to be en
il to state that it) every brnnch of math
‘deal knowledge which has occupied
attention of the Cadets, the most satis
tnry proofs have been afforded, that their
■ioments reflect honor opnn themselves
the institution in which their educa-
U received. An accurate and fatnil-
acquaintance with this essential part of
course of education, is nof merely de-
N from the immediate examination of
[abstract mathematic-, is also forcibly
conclhsively deduced from the readi*
I 8 ond facility with which they have
Npplied to the various branches of nntu-
Iphilosophy. In the pure mathematics
|evidence8 of their ad vances are deriva-
l> r om the accuracy and rapidty of their
patinn upon the black board—the ease
T* which the various substitutions-arising
[of the different values in the calcula
M have been effected—the variety of ex-
r 10< *9 necessary - to be employed—the
loeihatical arrangement in demonstra-
I s of the propositions, the correctness of
r e ‘ultg, and the intelligence evinCed in
P‘! n ^the ratioi.aliafor every step of the
lation; A dose attention to the exam*
**8S convinced the Board, that the
L-, are familiarly acquainted with a
| 8| uerabje portion-'of the differential and
g'^calcuts, the application of algebra
) e oihetry, the two trignometries.descrip-
goomatry, and the other part9 of elein-
fucllon, allude to tlie disclrtihm of curved
lines and transformation of rectilinear co
ordinates; the.discus.iion of the equations
to the three distinct classes of the curves
of the second ordei; to t|ie tine theory of
of pretpective; the application of the dill’
erential calculus to the theory of curved
sui'faces and to transcendential curves, and
that of the integral Calculus to the quadra
tlire of curves, and their- rectification ; to
curved surfaces and the measurement of
their volumes.
The ready application of mathematical
knowledge 10 every section of natural phi
losophy wtn military ami civil engineering,
has afforded the most ample proofs, that the
means of deriving practical utilites (com
physicnl science are possessed by flic Ca
dets of the institution. The variety, range
and difficulty of the questions proposed by
the examiners; the general con-ectnes anil
judgement in the answers, the evident ease
and facility of reply, connected with a log.
ic tl precision which could only be obtain
ed by patient and intense application of
the mental powers, arc accurate tests that
the diffeieiil sections of this important
branch of the couise have b<*-eu conducted
with skill and perseverunce.—Where so
moch excellence has been apparent, it is,
perhaps, unnecessary tnallnde to anv par
ticular department ui the physical course.
We will,however, presume "to affiim that
the propositions to accelerated motion, to
the theorm* of pinjuctiles, strejgih of ma
terials, theory of arches, spouting of fluids,
oscillation of floating bodies, and physical
astronomy, were illustrated und demonstra
ted under cirr.uinslanpe* of peculiar excel
lence, The proposition* relating to the
ittractiun of solids from Newton’a Princi-
pin, were demonstrated with much ability.
It accords with tlm sentiments of the
Board to state that the attainments witness*
(id in the muthcmaticnl and physical class
es, were, if possib'e, discovered in a high
er order in the military and civil engineer
mg. If. was satisfactorily exhibited by the
diversity ofquestions proposed, that the
ery esenlial knowledge relating to inor-
ars, cements, uses of wood,' its defects,
construction of arches and determination
of ihe vuussaiaon the principles of deserip
■ ive geoloetiy, to the inuile of coustiucting
r -ids, head-gates of dams, locks and ca-
•ntls, uses and relative strengths of the dif-
■erent kinds of iron, classificatinn of soils in
egurd to foundation*, and the operation of
oiling, had been acquired. It will, perhaps
issist in forming conceptions of the ac
q iirements of the class, by stating a few

in all the demonstrations and elucidations
d civil and I'ilitary-engineering. the evi
dent and important advantages arising
f>oin the course of descriptive geometry
adopted'in t^e Academy, were forcibly
exposed. In this branch."the profound at
’ainments possessed by the Cadets, were
exhibited in a high degree of perfection by
the constructions performed on (the blank
board The precision in drawing rhe lines
by hand without (he assistance of rulers,
and the correct relative proportions of the
parts nf the figures, are proofs of judge
ment and much industry.
The exhibition.which the class of en
gineering has maili* before the Board of the
general principles of rhetoric, military de
fence, and civil and military constructions,
has been highly satisfactory. The course
of instruction in this elm-* embraces—
1st. Ailevelopement of the theory nfthat
description of the science of war which de
pends upon the selection of proper posi
turns f<u defence, by fortifications, and upon
the planning and adoption of those wo 1 ks
to the positions, including the estimates nf
the expense of construction, called engi
neering.
2d. An illustration of the maxims of
military defence and offence.
3 A theoretic explanation ot the con
course, we would, witbsatiw;
struc.tiod «f fortifications and nf civil con*
structions, embracing canals,roads,bridges
and public edifices. \
4th. The graphic eiecalion of the va
rious systems of plans for these construc
tions and for ornamented architecture—in
the demostration nf which we have seen
the application of descriptive -eometry and
modern simplification of perspective and
plane-drawing, and of resolving solids and
their sections to planes. In the course of
the examination of this class, the large ma
jority have discovered aq intimate acquain
tance with the'theoriesas laid down i-. the
text books, or explained by the Professor
and Assistant.
This course is the first step of applica
tion to the mathematical theory to that de
scription of practice which, i,* essential, to
a just arrangement in the mind of students,
is the theory of engineering to practical use;
and when we consider the rising demand
in our country for civil engineers, we must
admit, that the full endowment of this
branch of study would be a great national
economy—we therefore would advise that
to this course there should be added the
mechanical'execution of models in stone*
cutting and carpentry, and machine mak-
- to which it would be necessary
teachers in othei branbhes. Such employ
ment deprive the best of them of the time
togjvean undivided attention to the course.
It were better, as a general rule, to offer
sufficient inducements to graduates to take
the station of assistant teachers.
In the course of natural and experimen
tal philosophy, tlie theory ,,f mechanics
ond of ustronomy, and of physics generally,
have been ably illustrated bv the class
pursuing this branch at ,the black board
But it appears to as that more attention
shouJ<l be paid to the practical illustration
of this cipirse,especially in astronomy, to
which desirable end a further endowment
of the professor is requisite,in an increased
"'umber of inst umetlts and apparatus, such
as are exhibited upon an accompanying
memorandum of those now in the Academy,
and such also as we conceive to be neces
sary to add to the present cn| lection.
In the department nf history, moral sci
puce, and g<-ograpliy,nnd the Board observe
that the students nave acquired a commen
dable collection «tf facts; but the board feel
ita duty'to state that the minds of these
young men do not appeartn have been suf
iiciently directed to a. philosophical view
of these branches of history and mural sri
ence. Fm .the more convenient accnmmo
datinn of the. Pmfesors' of chemistry and
philosophy in giving instructions to their
classes, the Board d.-eiri itdesirable to have
two room* i constructed and added' to tl
present Academy* »f about 40 by 30 leet
each, the expense of which would be. about
4000 dollars.
Comfort,-.bln quarters are wantifig for
tlie Professor " Chemistry and for the nfti
cer-o.f the staffconnected with the auppli •*,

property, Such quarter could be erected
for about 6000 if,liars.

The Drill.—The position of the Cadets
under ai ms, and their motementin compa
ny and battalion exercise, were found to
be strictly conformable to the regulation*
governing them: and to present an aspect
of regular tactical knowledge on the part
of the Cadets, unequalled by any troops the
Board of Visitors have eve seen. The evo
lotions of die line we> e preformed with all
ihe accuracy and professional ability that
die ery limited number of Cadets could

A CONCLUSIVE FACT.
In the G .zette of the I8.,n . f June last,
we railed the attention of the reader to a
fact which io the most conclusive manner,
demonstrates the falsehood ofNinian Ed
wards. As some of nor renders may have
overlooked this fact, it may be us< : f .1 again
to call their special attention to it. Edwards,
on his oajti, confessed that he wrote the let
ter to the Secretary of the Treasury signed
" I,ucy Stephenson.” That letter bears
date on the I8ih of Sept. 1819 Edwards’s
publication iti rhe St. Louis Enquirer was
dated on tlie 13th of Sep' 1819. Now,
mark the circumstance. Five days after
the dale of Edwards’* publication in'the St.
Louis newspaper, which Edwards swore
was tlu’.cause of the Receiver'* withholding
he depusites of public money from the
Bank of Edwardaville; F. I ward* wrote a
letter, which wa* signed by the Receiver’s
wife, informing Mr Crawford that the mon
ey wa« withheld by the Receiver to meet
Pertain Indian expenses! If this is not
perjury < and pe.jury, too, by his own de-
cldrafions—theie is nn such thiog as per
jury. And, we will ask, with u knowledge
of this Fact, what must the world think of
Messrs. Adorns and Calhoun's ff-cting to
view -Edwards—.convicted by his own
solemn depositions—as an innocent mnnt.

Lookers on.—It is said that, those who
coolly look on a fight are best able to judge
of the result*. The Quebec MercUry no
tices the contest for President in the fol
lowing manner:-—
” Messrs. Crawford, Adams, Calhoan.
Jackson, and Clay are the candidates. ’ Of
their merits it is impossible almost tojndge,
as the opinions are widely different, the
supporters of any one of them making it
their duty apparently to calumniate or
speak ill of the re'st. It is curious and
instructive to examine the workings of this
great Republic, where, notwithstanding all
its claims to purity, there appears much
intrigue, self-interest, and sectional feeling
intermixed, of course, with a good deal of
devotion to the public cause. It is proba
ble that Mr Crawford, Secretary of the
Treasury, will carry the palm, a man,
judging of his past conduct, from whom wc
may expect an able'and nprigtu discharge
of the duties of the "fliev.
