Hest Poim.-We gave in yesterdays paper list of the distinguished young men who stood at the head of their respective classes, in the late annual examination at this national institution. The value of the education here acquired to the pupil who has ability and perseverance to pass through the period assigned for it, and to the country which eventually receives the advantage of it, is every year better ul derstood.

 The Albany Advertiser has noticed the recent ex- animation as follows:

 "It was very evident to us that splendid as well as useful education is to be obtained at West Point, but trequres the whole mental and physical strength of the sfudont to he successful A largo rrnportnn, of the Cadets unable to go through the course. The standard is high, and very many fail in reach- ing it.

 We should advise no young man to enter the school at West Point, unless he made up his mind to endure hardships of body and mind. We may sofe- ly say tt IS the most scientific Institution the ,cort the military academies in England fall far below it" We have some reasons to know that the discipline is of the strctest kind vastly beyond the severest regulations in Colleges and that the consequence of this is fitness of knowledge and a maturity of mind in proportion to the discipline demanded.
