THE CADETS. - We have already stated that this corps of gallant young soldiers had been assigned to duty under command of Brig. Gen. Custis Lee. During their stay here previous to their assignment, the Cadets were quartered at Camp Lee. On Tuesday evening a merited and substantial compliment was paid them by the Secretary of War, in the shape of a complete outfit of clothing for each member of the organization.
