From the Vermont Enouirer.


 Test Poin& aeademy.--Ne are glad to perceive disposition in our National Legislature to inquire into the manage nent and utility of this institution. It has unquestionabiy become inexpensive to the government, and it's ben- efts probably result to few favored in- diyiduals, alone.

 The utility of an establishment like that at West Point in tanae of Peace, we are at a loss to determine. We are however, fully convinced, that the time has arrived when something should be dones The people have a right to know how much money has been expended, and for what particular purpose. and if abuses have aid to exist, to dicrl,;tiIdi their correction at the hands of their re- Presentatives. If Congress have a sur plus of the peoples money at their con~ trol, and have right 10 appropriate it for purposes of education, we appre- bend that farmers, manufacturers, and mechanics, have a strong claim for the devotion of a portion of it to purposes of education amongst them, rather than that the whole should be lavished upon the military, and become the means of training our young men inidleness, lux ury and dissipation.

 Hmerscan Hcnap.--The citizens of this city had the satisfaction yesterday, of witnessing the .dnssrsean Hemp, grown and fitted by the Northampton hemp company. We are happy to learn from the intelligent gentlemen, from that sec ton of the commonwealth, that these huge piles, ss were but the earnest of the quantity which Is to follow and that this company have now in preparation. for market more than i30 tons of hemp grown the past seasonso This quan- tity at Sp5500 per ton, which is not more than average price for this article, of good quality viii amount to the very comfortable sum of $2G,000. One fact more--we are informed that this quan- tity of hemp is the product of about four hundred acres of land-yielding on the average aboutHsa1ty fire dollars to the a. ere; and this too when the season was known to have been extremely untayor- able for this erop.-Iiow creditabIe is this enterprise to the individuals enga- ged, to our state and to our country.
