Sikf I have the honor to make knows
to you the operations ot this Depart
ment during, the pretent year, and to
offer sttca suggestions as appear .to me
fnecessaryto be presented. The Army,
Sat the different positions it has ocennied
i Ulong ouV western and stuhern froo-
iUers, has Deen .engaged in: preserving
quiet in those quarters, and has: full v
hstrcceaded. T Fears were entertained of
a serious rupture with - some of our
northwestern tribes of Indians); but the
presence of a militarv. force, and the
exorcise of a proper discretion on tli
part of those to whom the trust of re
conciling them wis confided, has, had
the enect to prevent it, and peace has
been the conseouence. 'Similar antira.
