Th general v'pw of ihe army, and

satisfactory, both In military disci
pline and fiscal economy.
Oee portion of the corps of engi
neers is engaged in constructing
w- tks far military defence, and the
other actively employed in the civil
Apartments. The Quartertnsster
o.nera j, engaged in erecting places
for accommtidatirig the soldier, and
also in omstrucing roads Ac bridges;
'and the ordinance department, with
the force under its control, displays
a corresponding energy and skill, in
the fabrication nf arms and other
munitiors of war, as well for the mil
itia of the states as lor the regular ar
my. Indeed the reports from these
lit ee department, exhibit the army
of the United Staes, not in the light
in which standing nrmies in time of
peace have usually been regarded, as
d'unes wl;r are consuming the labour
of ;lbe s, but ns a hotly of military
and civil engineers,, artificers and
laborers, who probably contribute
more thuu any other rqutl number
of criztos, not only to the security
ot the country, but to the advance

The Miliary - tdcny at West
Point is mentioned m terms of ap
probatioit, and its concerns declared
I to be in a highly gratifying state. A
compliment ii paid to Congress for
ifs wisdom in giving employment to
so miny civil engineers.
The policy of extending our mili
