The arrangements for the Presidential trip to West Point are entirely under the management and control of Chief Quartermaster General Van Viiet, This ts guar- anteo sufficient that nothing will be left undone or omit- ted to render this portion of the Presidential tour all that tho warmest admirers of Mr. Johnson could desire. A first cinss steamer will be chartered for the occasion— either the River Queen or Thomas Collyer, the choice not being yet determined upon. Both of them are excellent oats, and will answor all requirements, Ample pre- parations are being made to render the trip up the Hud- son of the pleasantest character, for om the broad bosom of the noble river, especially while approaching the historic bills and reyelutionary forts of West Point, it may be hoped that the cares and importunities of the Present will be exorciaed tn the reminiscences of the glorious past—a time which tried men’s souls in battling for freedom—leas after all, perhaps, than the present days do to try the souls of Presidents as the almoners of public offices, To secure this most desired end, General Ven Viet will have an excellent military band on board, with a guard of honor, to secure to the President that immunity which will enable him to enjoy the ameuitios of the hour, free from the carping cares of state, A collation, got up in Delmonico’s best style, will bo provided on board, ample and bountiful as recherche, Tho arrangements are that the Vresident, bis suite, members of the Cabiaet accompanying him, the miliary and saval chiefs and their euites, and the ladies of the pas will embark at the foot of Tweuty-second Street, North river, at seven o'clock A. M., on board the steamer for Weat Point. After the review, the cere- monies and the entertainment there, the distingulshed party will re-embark on board the steamer, which witl convey them to Albany, For the accommodation of the committer of citizens, city officiaisand others that go no farther than West Point, Genoral Van Viiet will have the government boat Thomas P. Way steam up at West Point, ready to take all those back to the city, There is no doubt but that this part of the programme will be » perfect success, AT WEST POINT, Up to Inst evening the commandant at Wost Point, Goneral Callum, had not perfected his arrangements for tue military portion of the display, It is, however, ex- pected that the annual review and breaking up campof tho cadots will tako place somewhat earlier than usual, but the occasion of the President's visit is thought a Proper time by the authorities for the purpose, The Cudets, anxious to pay a visit to ther homes, are nothing loath to tho shortoning of their studies, NEWS FROM HAYTI.
