The Citadel cadets were out early 0f | | this morning to a breakfast of mocking- MU(j j. bird legs, pate de fois gras, a hi canary rc bird, and hard tack, principally hard : tack.

The refusal of the military judges to josl , score the pickod company of Cadets frue 1 that entered for the first-class drill is j?ia still a matter of comment. As these. fon( judges arc all among officers detached to teach tactics in various military cejy schools, they were doubtless actuated Qf by a feeling of delicacy, becase any crit- anc] icism of the Charleston Cadets that jia,j they might have felt called on to make would probably have been attributed by to |j some people to jealousy-' of a rival in- eae, stitution. The subject is however, distasteful. I was thinking about it this gtat morning, when my attention was direct- por to the sound of a band approaching.

A MAGNIFICENT DRILL. ; t was shortly after 11 o'clok when picked company of the Citiulol Ca- j i entered the drill ground under ' miund of Capt. Walker. Their colors J o placed on the grand stand in charge Vliss Virginia Kraser, sponsor, and |' maids ot honor, Miss Bissell, of kriuston, and the Misses Hey ward, of atinah, all of whom wore the colors ;he Cadots, a splendid sitin streamer love color and white, with a palmetto > and the letters l4S.

A large dolcgai of Charlcstonians also arrived on special Centennial train in time to D08H the drill. 'lie three United States aruiy officers d were acting as judges were con:uous by iheir absence. In th'iir id a special board of otlicers, consistof Col. Olmstcad, commandant of up Washington; Capt. Branch, of the annah Cadets ; the captain of the ntgomery Greys ; Capt.

The inspection the arms was conducted by Capt. mi or, of the Zouaves, who, it is nced> to say, found no occasion to use lave uiscipline. )ur boys received a perfect ovation, [ they well deserved it. There was . one opinion on the subject, and this i voiced by tile officers, who will lessit,. and who after it was over told it. Walker that it was the most perL drill that had ever been anywhere. b evolutions were the smile as those | ic through in the first-class infantry >1, with the addition of several mor-j icult movements. The manual was io with a perfect cadence, and both t and Uie marching were error4. 'lie only error noted during the en( drill was the issuing of a prciuae order by the captain. The order i to '"Commence firing" before the paratory order of "iteady" had been ied. '1 ho boys, however, stood fast, I the captain, with a coolues and sence of mind that did liim infinite dit, quickly recovered hituself and >n got his men in hand again.

A veteran miliotticer, ot one of the crack compas in camp, came up to the Cadets' up after the company had been dis>sed and said : "I've been soldiering nineteen years now aucKl never saw 'thing like thai drill before. You an honor to your Stale boys, I don't a what State you come from." 'he exorcises of the camp concluded i i morning with a drill of liie liush J laves.

All the c.ly volunteers, as well .he soidies in camp, participated in parade, in which the Citadel Cadets upied the post of honor on the right the line. The oration was delivered Col. C. C.
