In the House of Representatives, yesterday, there was an animated debate on the subject of Military Academies. The result of the debate was, that there should not be more than one additional Military Academy; and it is doubtful whether the House will agree upon the point where that one shall be established. The proceedings on this subject, however, the reader will observe, having taken place in the committee of the whole, are not conclusive on any point but one, on which there appeared to be a large majority, viz. that if there be but one additional Academy decided on, its location shall not be within the District of Columbia.
