Army Intelligence. OUR WEST POINT CORKESPONDENCE. Wusr Port, N. Y., June 13, 1864. Examination of the Fourth Class in Mathematics— Firing at the Mortar Battery—Address to the Graduating Class—Examination in Infantry Tactics—Flying Artillery Drills, &¢. The examination of the First Class Departm@t Of Mineralogy and Geology having been concluded on Thursday afternoon last, that of the fourth class | in Mathematics was taken up on Friday morning, ‘and continued atgadily until finished on Saturday afternoon. The course of this class comprises Dalres’ Bourdon’s Algebra, as revised; Daires’ Legendre’s Geometry and Trigonometry, and Daires’ Descriptive Geometry. Although not appearing, at frat sight, to be as extensive a course as that of the third class, yet it gains in importance when we con- Bider that it comprises all the fundamental prinei- ples of mathematics, which are to serve as a ground- work for the future acquirement of a scientific education. It is needless to say that the recitations before the Board of Visiters, of the various mathe- matical classes of the Military Academy, are little Yess than perfect; and the promptness with which ‘the cadets place their work upon the board, and the readiness with which they go through their demon- etrations, is truly surprising. There is, however, one fault common to them all, and this is the very @reat rapidity of their utterance. We noticed it throughout all the classes, and can only account for the formation of such habits by reason of the in- adequacy of time allotted for the proper hearing of the daily recitations. Four years are in no way sufficient for the present course of studies at the Military Academy, and it therefore follows that there is crowded within the limits of each year gauch more than shonld be its allotted share of men- fal labor. To complete these extended yearly pourses, the daily lessons must be long, and, though much time as possible is devoted to the resita- Bons, the instructors are necessarily obliged to hurry fee men 7 their demonstrations, in order to ing out the principal features of the subject before e dismissal of their seetions. The habit of rapid Bpeaking thus My gg in the academy is unwit- tingly persevered in by the graduate, and it isa ware occurrence that we meet with officers who have been able to cure themselves of this defect in their Bl cution.

PAUL'S CORRESPONDENCE. 8r, Pavt’s, Muvwzsora Tunzrrozy, June 8, 1954. t On our paseage up the Misdissippi river, the boats halted at a place called Montoville, forthe purpose of taking in wood. The storm having subsided, the party availed themselves of stepping ashore. A bold prominence of two or three thousand feet rises from the water's edge, the sides of which are luxu- riantly covered with native grass, with beautiful wild flowers, natives of the uncultivated region, but as fragrant as those reared by the most skilful flo- | rist inthe world. Indeed, nature heraelf knows best | how to perform her own handiwork. Acres and | acres of the most beautiful and fragrant, are strewed | all along these wild regions, doomed to “bloom | and blush unseen,” and ‘‘ waste their fragrance on | the desert air.” At this place nearly the whole | party alighted on shore, ladies and gentlemen, and | hundreds took a stroll through the native grass, and | clambered to the peak of a high prominence to take a view of the natural magnificent carpeting, and magnificent sheet of winding water lying at their feet. Here the first natives of the forest made their appearance. There were three of them in mocca- sins and blankets, with firearms and powder horns slung across their shoulders. Their faces were beameared with some black, greasy matter, fur- rowed out, in token of mourning for deceased friends. They were the most abject looking creatures ever seen by civilized eyes, They ‘were extremely sullen, and refused to uncover their faces, until pieces of silver were shown and given them. Hundreds of the passengers gathered around these miserable looking aborigines, who very soon filled the hands of the natives with silver coin, the gift of which to the Indians rendered them ap- parently highly grateful. Mr. Fillmore took them by the hand. They were taken on board the boats, the machinery and equipments of which they in- spected with silent attention, but without exhibiting any particular wonder or admiration. There are some two hundred roaming in the neighborhood, but I hear that they are fast dwindling away. The spe- cimens we saw to-day did not exhibit the Indian character in such a light as it has frequently | been portrayed by talented writers, from the | was formed and marched to the Mortar Battery upon the pes This battery consists of six pieces, three of which are technically known as ten inch mortars, two as eight inch, and the remaining one as a stone mortar. ten inch mortar throws a shell ten | inches in diameter, the eight inch one eight inches a diameter, and the stone mortar is employed for pu other missiles of the same nature. The target for the shells is a barrel mounted upon ahigh post near the camp ground, distant about o thousand feet | from the battery. Very good line shots are fre- uently made, but owing to the difficulty of suiting | cl of powder to the distance, the balls inva- riably fall a few feet short of their destination or slightly beyond it. The battery was under the command of Brevet Major Porter, and the firing was | wine, from which were obtained the cartridges and bomb-shelis used on the occasion. The shells and hhand-grenades fired from the stone mortar were contained in a species of basket work, upon the bursting of which the: ecanees in every direction, The first shot of this kind took effect in the small | valley near the battery, known as ‘“ Execution | Holiow,” and considerable excitement was Fs | duced among the spectators rite dang sos ; by the figure of a man apparently emerging fromthe | wery spot where the shad fallen.

The best shots from the shell mortars were two from the eight inch; and these being placed in the roper direction and loaded by the cadets, were fired two ladies—one of whom, we are informed, is resent wife of a di ed member of the lt prefession of this State, and the former widow of one of those gallant officers who fell Aghting for their country at the battle of Buena Vista.
