WEST FOIST ACADEMY.
The annual examination at West Point
commenced last Friday and will last twenty
days. In relation to the graduating class
the New York Post says :
Tho class started four years ago with over
fifty members, but the rigors of military ed
ucation have diminished the number to
thirty-four.
The cause of this reduction in number,
which is a usual thing with the classes, is the
list of demerits. The main purpose of the
Academy being perfection in discipline, the
code of conduct is not like the usually obso
lete by-laws of ordinary colleges. Tlio least
infraction is observed and charged on tho
conduct roll even such offences as leaving
tho washbowl in the bed room, right Bight up
or with water in it, or swinging the arms
when inarching to the mess-room. This
apartment, by tho way, is a large, handsome,
though pluin hall, capablo ofaecommodating
four hundred persons ut a sitting. Tho seats
are immovable iron stools, so hard bottomed
as not to encourage a lonr indulgence in the
pleasures of the table.
Most of the timo the cadets are not allow,
ed to pass from one room to the other, for
any purpose, and if the cadet on guard in
each entry, who marches back and forward
with his gun to his shoulder, permits such
conduct, he is himself visited with six demerit
marks ; and, according to the rule, any cadet
who shall at tho examination in June and
January, have en amount of demerit exceed
ing one hundred for tho previous six months,
such cadot is declared deficient ia conduct,
and recommended by the Academic Board
to tho War Department for discharge.
This discovery of deficiency is what the
cadets facetiously term finding, and a dis
charged cadet is generally spoken of by his
brethern as found. The nso of wine, alo or
liquor is prohibited ntterlv, and by an ar
rangemeut with the hotel-keepers, tho Maine
law is pretty thoroughly carried out on the
lands of the general government. The code
or discipline is embraced in a volume of two
or three hundred duodecimo pages, and the
listo. punishable offences is so large that it is
impossible even for tho most exemplary to
scape some marks of demerit.

The Paris Exhibition opened on Tuesday,
and altho' inferior as a spectacle, according
to the accounts, to the great London Exhi

of the Sydenham Palace, it was nevertheless,
an imposing affair, to which every imagina

United States Hotel 1
Philadelphia June 5, 1855. J
Tho late rain, which appears to have ex
tended over a vast portion of country, has
gladdened the heart of many, who feared the
worst in regard to our present crops. . In its
results, it is far more important than all the
political movements that have been agituted
tho past five years.
The rain was most opportune, as vegeta
tion was already suffering in many sections.
Its value to tho country has been estimated
at One Hundred Million of dollars. II ad
there been a failure of the yops this seuson,
famine would have becu almost an inevitable
consequence. Yet how few have given it
oven a serious thought.
Tho Virginia election has ocen the cause
of great rejoicing in this city, and other pla
ces, by the old line partizans. The election
of Wise as Governor by so large a majority,
was, perhaps, unexpected by liis friends and
opponents. Some of the leading whig papers
deny that it is a party triumph. Mr. Wise
held an isolated und an independent position.
He was a bittor opponent and revilerof Gen.
Jackson, and was tho author of the famous
toast, "The Union of the whigs for the sake
of the Union." A Washington letter writer
says in less than six months he will be de
nounced by hair the, party presses as a rene
gade and traitor to the democracy, and will
bo defended by the other hair on the ground
that he never was a democrat. The truth is
there have been no purely party victories, the
past year. It has been by a fusion of antag
onistic interests. It is, however, a creditable
fuct, -that the democratic party, is tho only
formidable party organization thnt now ex.
ists.
The enforcement of the laws, prohibiting
the sale of liquors, in tho different stales, is
likely to bo attended with serious results.
The late disturbances and riots at Portland,
in Maine, where tho first prohibitory law
originated, show how difficult it is to enforce
a law which abridges our personal privileges,
and is opposed by a large portion of the
people. Laws that cannot bo executed
should never be enacted, as they have a ten
dency to weaken the force and effect of such
laws as are necessary for the welfare of our
institutions. Tho Sunday liquor law, is no
doubt a most judicious oue. and has tho sanc
tion of respectuble liquor dealers themselves.
Yet it is a fuct that most of the hotels have
a private room for the dispensation of the
ardent, and the thirsty are uut long iu finding
out where something can be had. Its effects,
however, on the lower and industrial classes,
cannot be denied. The proprietor of one
manufacturing establishment in this city
which employs severul hundred hands, says
that on Monday it was not uncommon to find
at least thirty men ubsent, unable to work,
on account of dissipation on Sunday. Now,
he says, the absentees ore uot tnoro than four
or five.

Portland, June 3. At 10 o'clock last
night a noisy mob assembled about the build

tempted to break in, for tho purposo of de
stroying the liquor stored there. Tho police
attempted to preserve the peace, but the
mob becoming more threatening, two military
companies were called out to enforce order.
These precautions, it was hoped, would deter
the mob, but. ut a later hour they broke into
the building, when the military drawn up op
posite fired a volley, killing 'Ephraiin Rob
bins, of Eastpcrt, and wounding several oth
ers, some severely.
Asquudofthe Rifle Guard followed up
the volley, bjr a charge upon the mob witli

INTER ESTINQ FROM AL UKS CITT.
Salt Lai City, March 23, 185S
' Srrtoiis Collision with ths Armt Offi
cers. Justice in Utah Mob Law Trium
phant. Some disgraceful scenes appear to
have been transacted lately In Utah. Since
Uol. bteptoe has been nominated as Hover
nor, th tJeseret News, Brlgham Young's
orirun. has been tceininir with panegyrics on
the "gallant Colonel," and Orson Hyde, the
chief of the Twelve Apostles, has declared to
the universal world thnt "Col. Steptoe 18 a
gentleman." Those who were not previously
aware of the fact now know it for a certainty,
for it is endorsed by the venerable apostle.
But while the most fulaomo praises of the
Colonel have been circulated by the columns
of the church paper, merely to deceive per
sons at a distance, the officers and men of
the Colonel's command have, on several oc
casions, been publicly blackguarded and in
sulted in open day. As a sample, a party of
officers or the army were lately ruling oui
with some ladies, in Salt Lake City, when
they were set open by a mob of Mormons,
among whom were the sons of Brighain
Young, and Heber C. Kimball. Presidents
or the church, and two others, Huntingdon
and Moore.
These men rode by the party nt full speed,
wnving their hats and shouting the most op
probrious epithets and vulgaroathsin hearing
of the ladies, and endeavored to frighten their
horses. One of the ladies, the daughter of
the Hon. Judge Kinney, Chief Justice or
Utah, was only saved from being thrown from
her horse and injured by the coolness of one
gentleman, who seized the bridle and with
difficulty riistraineo her hor-e.
As the officers wished to proceed lawfully,
instead of putting a few bullets through the
chief actors in this disgraceful afi'uir the
case was represented to tne Mayor, Jedediah
M. Grant. A mock trial was gone through ;
and though the conduct of the mob was in
direct violation of the city ordinances, it was
discovered that the individuals stood too high
in the church to be punished ; the case was
dismissed and the costs of tho court, amount
ing to an almost fabulous sum, were thrown
upon the plaintiffs. During the trial, the la
dies, who wero present ns witnesses, were
grossly insulted by a low fellow, a witness for
the defence. The greatest excitement pre
vailed during the trial nearly two hundred
armed Mormons being collected in and about
the Muyoi's office.
A very destructive Fire occurred in New
York city on Wednesday night, destroying
the largi printing office of John F. Trow,
Nos. 4'J, 51, und 53 Ann street, proprietor
und publisher of the city Directory. The
volume for this year was to have been pub
lished next week, and a large number of com
positors, who were at work on it, escaped
with much difficulty. The fire caught from
the gas burners. "Mr. Trow saved all his
Adams presses uninjured, and his bonks and
papers were locked up in a safe, which is also
supposed to he uninjured, but he lost two
job cylinder, three hand, und two hydraulic
presses. His loss in stock is estimated at
840.000, though it is not yet ascertained how
much damage is done to the Directory. The
duodecimo edition of Irving's Life of Wash
ington, about to bo published by Putnam,
was destroyed. By this fire Messrs. Put
nam & Oo. also lose 12,000 worth of wood
cats and 100 reams of printing paper.
A Painfci. Sight. To see young men
lounging about mouth after month, neither
working iit desiring to work ; while, per
haps, poor parents aro toiling from morning
till night to support them from a disgrace
which their own thoughtlessness and laziness
is fast bringing upon them. But how nuinv
such sights are to be seen in every communi
ty ! How many are found who havo nut that
sense ir shumu which is necessary to forco
them off tho lounger's seat but enough of
that false pride which will not allow thorn to
take hold of employment if it docs not hap
pen to bo ns genteel as they wish ! Alas! the
fate of such is seuled ; tbey will go down to
the grave unpiticd, unmoiirned, and soon be
forgotten by every one. .Yeienric Mercury.
Emigrants Retcrxino to Europe. The
number of emigrants who havo returned to
their homes in tho Old World during the
last seven or eight weeks, from tho several
ports of the United States, is usually largo,
notwithstanding the price of passage in most
of the packet ships, particularly at New
York, has been iucreused. Tho passage
ticket in tho steerage for Liverpool was
lormeriy irom six to eight dollars, each per
son being required to supply lumseir with
provisions, but the price hus been raised this
year to eighteen dollars for each person, the
passengers being supplied by the owners of
the vessel. During the lust two months 1,
574 emigrants, it is said, have sailed from
New York, und 500 more will suil iu a few
duvs.

AILINOOF THt WALKER KXPEOITION. I
The brig Vesta, having on board Col.
Walker and his men, cleared on Thursday
night, at 12 o'clock, for Hcalejo, which is the
only port, ou the Pacific sido in tho hands of
the Castilon party. The expedition was to
have sailed about two weeks ago, but the ves
sels was libelled by the parties by whom she
had been provisioned. A settlement was
however made a few days ago, and the Uni.
ted States Marshal released the vessel. The.
libel was 81500, and the parties who cotitrac
teo to lurnisn tne vessel with supplies for the
voyage first agreed to accept Nicaragua stock
in payment of their goods, but afterwards
changed their minds, and legal proceedings
were therefore commenced. Hie vessel was
aftorward attached by the Sheriff for some
other liubility, and a Deputy-Sheriff was pla-
ceo on noara.
On luursday night tho ShenfTs denutt
was pacing the deck, when Col. Walker came
up, and requested him to come down to his
cabin, in order that he might show him some
rapers which he had in bis possession. The
)eputy Sheriff, in the innocence of his heart.
went below, when Colonel Walker produced
a large bnndio or papers, done up in red tapo,
and immediately both he and tbe Deputy
Sheriff, commenced to examine their con
tents. Whilo so engaged tho Deputy Slier
iff thought ho perceived a motion quite unu-
snal in snips at anchor, and started to go on
deck, but his impetuosity was checked in the
kindest and blandest manner, by four or five
of the expeditionists, w ho, armed to the teeth
suddenly mado their appearance. 1 hey in
formed the astonished Deputy Kheritt that
the ship was under wciVh that, nndcr the
circumstances, there was no use in taking tho
matter to heart, and concluded by bringing
forth a basket of champairno rrom the locker,
advising the Deputy Sheriff to drown care in
a flowing bumper. After the vessels had got
outside tho Heads, the ieputy bhoriir was
placed on board the steam-tug, and tho ship
stood out to sea. The expeditionists, num
bering fifty-six, all told, were armed to the
teeth, each man having been provided with
two six-shooters, a bowio knilo and a .Missis.
sippi rifle, which are considered to bo the
best tools for the developement of the agri
cultural resources of the Republic of Nicara
gua. The Walker expedition will, it is sup
posed, be joined by a portion of tho Kinney
expedition, who are to sail from New Orleans,
via the San Juan River, and effect a junction
with their brothers-iu-arms from the Pacific
side. If the expedition from the Atlantic
side be us well equipped as that which Bailed
rrom this port on I hursday night, tho L iia
morro partv in Nicaragua will have a rather
hard time or it in maintaining tuiur ascenuun
cv. Excitincr news may hereafter bo cxpec
ted from Central America. .Van I rancisco

More Paupers Arrived A'ew Port, June
3. The ship Leopold I, Capt. Geberding, ar
rived yesterday trom Antwerp, having on
board 36" passengers, the majority of whom
are reported to bo paupers by tho American
Consul at Antwerp. I ho vessel, by orders
of tho Commissioners of Emigration, has
been stopped at Quarantine until the proper
authorities investigate tbe trutu ol the cuar
ires nsrainst the passensrers. which, if found
true will probubly cause their immediate re
turn to tho port rrom wheucc they came at

Col. Slifer, State Treasurer, has issued a
circular to county treasurers in which he savs
he is disposed to give the law relutivq to the
payment ot the btato taxes fifteen davs nrior
to tho 1st of August a liberal construction,
and suggests the propriety of allowing tho
abatement of 5 per cent by the tax collector
immediately to the tax payor. This recom
mendation would no doubt" induce many to
pay who will not now.
A "Work of Necessity." The Police
Court of Boston, on Friday, decided that
shaving on Sunday is a work of necessity, as
much so as preaching a sermon, and no more
of an offence against tho Sunday law. The
barber artists were, therefore discharged, in
vested with tho right of free lubor. with razor
and shears, seven days in the week.
Postage to Turk's Island. Tho U. S.
Post oQico Department gives notice that all

Island, by British packet, must be pre-paid,
at the rate of British postage 24 cents per
half ounce besides the U. S. postago of ten
or twenty cents, according to distance.
Otherwise they cannot be forwarded to their

Tn Kinnf.y Expedition. Tho Kinney
Expedition is now generally looked upon as
an eutiru failure, there being no possible
chance of it getting off, aud if there was, a
want of sufficient means to carry it on, would
put a veto upon its sailing. Several of the
men who enrol'd in the expedition have left
it ia disgust, losing every dollar they invested

Disgraceful Brutality in Columbus.
Ohio. On Thursday evening, at Columbus,
Ohio, as a procession of German Turners was
returning from tbe country, where they had
been celebrating the day, those composing it
were violently uttacked by a gang of rowdies,
and six ot them badly heateu. It appears
that the rowdies took offence at a flag the
Germans bad with them. It had on it three
mottues m German, which the assailants pre
sumed were onensive, because tney wire too
ignorant to understand what they meant.
One was "Fresh, pious, joyous, free;" and
