The military spirit seems to have taken hold of “Young America.” Yesterday we witnessed the parade of a company of Cadets, composed of the pupils of Mr. McCarty’s school, numbering some fifteen. They have been drilled by Mr. McCarty, and seem to take to military tactics quite naturally. They passed through the different manouvres with remarkable precision, and their Zouave tactics would do credit to a company composed of “older heads.” Success to the Cadets.
