Immediate amputa tion was the consequence, and the leg was taken ofbelow the knee. -A plain wood en leg was the substitute io'r thi? loss The day,.after the accident occurred, Mr. Sparks, a -friend called to see him, who thought it his duty to joffer as much consolation as he could; on an event so melancholy. He dwelt :upori the good effects, which such a trial would produce on nis cnaracter and moraj temperament, anfl the diminished inducements it would leave for seeking the pleasures and dis sipations of life, into which young men are too apt to be led. " My good Sir, re plied Morris, "you argue that matter so handsomejy, and point but so clearly the advantage's of being without legs, that I am almost tempted to part with the other." To another person who visited him on the same occasion, and gave, utterance to his feelings of smpathy and regret, he re pled; "O, Sir,, the loss is much less than you imagine ; I shall doubtless be a steadi er man w'tth one.leglhan uith two." !

The reports il and information which have reached the Department, re specting the situation of the Army, are highly gratifying. In its discipline, its rh oral character, and the general perform ance of its duties, the . Government and thef -country have every reason to be satls- lied with its condition and prospects. As a safeguard for the frontiers, aTa school I Tf practical instruction as "a depository of iniliC:try information, and as the mearis of ipreparing and pr'ovidibg in peace for thej exigencies of war, the present military establishment has fully answered the ob jects of its organization and support Arid it is"but an act of jnstice to state, that in all the essential requisites of capacity and conduct, the officers of the American Army do honor to themselves - and their country. . . ! - It is known to you that some of the western tribes of Indiaus, roa-tni ng thro ug li the extensive prairies vvek of Arkansas & Missouri, particularly the Camanches and Kiawas, have, for some years, interrupted the peace of that-quarter? by predatory at tacks upon our cittzensjand upon the in digenous and emigrant Indians whom we are under obligations to protect. Their war parties have annoyed our citizens in their intercourse Avith. the Mexican States, and have rendered the communication difficult and' hazardous. It becamencccs-ij sary to put a stop to this state of things, either byamicable representations or bv . . , .

The dragoons, being particu larly adapted to this seryice, were ordered to penetrate into that region, and to en deavor, by peaceable remonstrances, to es tablish permanent tranquillity, and if these should fail, to repel any hostile demon strations which might be made. Fortu nately, the effort to iutrdduce amicable re lations were successful,! and the object of the expecThioh was obtained without a sin gle act of hostility, Colonel Dodge, w ho led the expedition, and his whole com mand, appear to have performed their du ty in the most satisfactory manner; and they .encountered with firmness the priva tions incident to the harrassing service upon which they were ordered. -It is to be regretted that the prevalence of sick ness prevented the whole regiment from joining in this(duty, as the same zeal for the public, interest pervaded the whole. That sickness deprived the country of some valuable lives, and among others of Brigadier General Leavenworth. Im pelled by his anxiety tof or ward the views of the Government, he ' exposed himself, while yerweak, 4o the hardships of a bor der campaign, and sunk under the rrrala dy w hie h these induced. Hb high per snnnl character, his services durinp; the ate war, and his exemplary official con duct since, are too well known to you to require from me any thing more than this brief allusion to his worth and fate. Amoncr'the accompanying documents will be found a full statemetrt of the pro- ceedinos of Col. Dodg, and of the satis- actory result of his expedition. The Secretary here alludes to the Report of the Chief Engineer.

I am-not : al?le to submit to you any more farable views of tbecohdition of the Cllerdkees tlan .were embraced iu my lastannual report. While every dic tate of prudence, and in fact of self-preser vation, r urges their removal, unhappy councilsand internai7divisions prevent the adoption cf that course. Where they are, they are declining and must decline; wnne mat ponion oi tae tnoe wojen is establislied in thel westrfs realizing the benefits which were expected to result from a change of position. The system of removal, however, by enrolment, is go ing on, and daring this season about one thousand persons .have passed to the west Thetreaty concludeg the 24th of May la si, with the Ghickasaws, has altered the relations ia which they .were '-placed with the Cnifed Slates. The proceeds deriva ble from a portion of the present posses siori3 have been assigned to them, and re servations have also been provided for such aachpose to become citizens of -the United .States. Their future condition now depends upon their own views and experience, as they have a right tp re main orremove.lin conformity jwitn their own iudcrment. The means placed at their disposal are fully adequate to their per- manent comtortaoie esraDusnment, anatK is to be.sincerely hoped that they will ap ply them wisely. ' j r I Th e1 acts cf th e last sess ion of Co n - eress : on the subject of Indian Affairs. have introduced important changes into those relations. Many of the ; provisions of former laws had become lriappropriate or inadequate, and not suited to the rhanes which i time and circumstances had made. In the act regulating the in tercourse with the various tribes, the prin cinles of intercommunication tvjth them are laid downiand the - necessary . detaHs orovided.' In that.for the re-organization f tliA itinnrtmpnt thp Titimher of fFRfrs eranloved has.'. been much reduced, and tne current expences uiminisueu. 1sr Any changes which experience may show tQ be necessary in these acts, can, from time to time, be Provided. untH rthey shall becorae fully adapted to the situation and condition of the indians, and to the intercourse, oth commercial and political, which ought 4o exfst between them and our government andrkizens. -The, system of removal has changed, ts sentially. the, prospects of the emirrants' jand iac imposed pew obligations upon fJte.SSS? Stpr A vt tlact ol roun- dred millions of acres, has been set apart ror tne permanent residence of these In dians, and already, about thirty thousand have been removed to it.
