KEPOttT OF THE SECRETARY OF
' v win.;- "
The report of Cx-Oov. Flojrdr Secretary
War, U mi nble document. It shows the
necessity for an immediate increase in the
nrmy, which at present consists of nineteen
regiments Jiriiierl into ten of. infaitfry, four
of nrtillerr, two 0! drngoons,'two of caval
ry and one f mounted riflemen, lhe.wbole
etreng'h of tho 1 rmy us posted, consiting of
tibout 19,684 men, the actual strength on
The first of July lael being I5,7G4. ltv' Ad
dition to ihe movements which the troops
havo been called on to make this year J his
force is called upon to gnrri on sixty eight
forts of a large and permanent character,
so fur as it is po.sible to supply men for
tho purpose, and to occupy seventy posts,
less permanently established, where the
presence of a force is absolutely required.
The area over which these forts and posts
are spread embraces a circuit of about 3,
000,C00 square miles. For the proper oc
cupation of these posts the Military super
vision of the external boundary of our coun
try, the protection of the double line of In
hnn frontier exier ding from the Lake of
the Woods to the banks of the Rio Grande,
on the east side of the Rocky Moun ains,
and from bryond the river Oregon on the
British frontier to the head of the Gulf of
Calif rnia, on the western slope of these
mountains, and the protection of the great
lines of intercommunication between the
valley of thi Mississippi and the Pacific
Occun, the Secretary recommends the mis
i of five additional rcgimenis.
"Tho army has been very actively and
constantly engaged in the performance of
arduous and important duties. In view of
the menacing attitude of affairs in Utah,
and the importance of a prompt and thor
ough suppression of the spirit of rebellion
reigning there-, the Secretary repeats his
recomx.en !ution of five new regiments,
which he consiJcrs tho smal'est addition
to the army which tho exigenci s of the
service will allow. A number of defects
in the organization of the army are pointed
out, and improvements suggested. .
The route fron El Paso to tho Coloradr,
lsdcs'gnated as the most eligible route for
the ruilroad to the Pacific, il being the
shortest of all yet surveyed, and posse, sing
.advantages over the others of grade, clim
ate, distance across the deserts, nnd a suffi
cient abundance of water; but ihe consu
mption of this protect; freed from all other
difficulties, woutd require immense sums of
money and a great leng'.h of time.
Meanwhile, it is recommended that at
pftt two other routes for the passage of
emigr.m's and the tnntporlalion of milita.
ry stores, v. hich, if the railroad was built
.nesa routes would still be necessary to
make accessible vast regions of our coun
try, be at once opened and maintained, and
. it 1 1 1
a line of stjekade posts - estaonsnea aiong
them, to insure the safe and rapid Inns
nortation of the mails and perfect pf-tec
"Hi0n to a telegraph tine from one ocean to
the her, which latter object would in li
st If be wrih.far more to the country than
the cost of rVj posts nnd the expense cf
-maintaining men.
Trie tnUUiiry explorations and surveys
are progressing satisfactorily, an t every
day is adding new 'and important facts to
our present stores of knowledge of the ge
ography and general character of the courv
try lying between the valley of the Missis
sippi and the Pacific ocean. Two expedi
tions have been fitted out expres-ly 10 ex
plore tracts of country hitherto wholly un
known. The first was sent to the north
west, beyond the waters of the Upper Mis
nour, towards the "Black H'lls,"and will,
uo doubt, bring valuable information ; arid
the other ij enenged in exploring the Colo
rado of the West, of which to this time
nothing scarcely has been accurately
known. Tho Secretary hopes ih tt this
exploration will result in discovering the
best means by which the transportation of
army stores can be effect' d to the interior
of New Mexico and Utah.
The importance to the public service of
establishing a national foundery is again
impressed upon Congress. The Secretary
says ou this subject.
"A well managed national foundery
would very speedily develop and establish
facts which would add immensely to our
nution&l wealth.' It is scarcely to be credi
ted that, with the infinite variety of iron
ores and their boundless extent in the Uni
ted S'ates, we should not have vet discov-.
crcd a mine capable of making the very
best gun, or if such be discovered, that
there are no means by which the public
service can be benefitted by it ; but such
is the fict.
"A national foundery would serve as a
great laboratory at which the qualities and
value of metals throughout the whole con
federacy would be tested and fixed. Eve
ry variety of iron, with its especial adap
tation to particular use, would, in a few
years, be familiarly known to the counrry,
and in divi ual enterprise would be saved
in experiments many times the amount
which tha works would cost, whilst a great
national branch of industry might, by this
tneui.s, receive a legitimate and tficient en
couragement. 1
There is but little doubt that many A
merican iron ores are equal nt least to those
of Norway, and yet the national armories
are driven by necessity to purchase from
abroad the Norwegian iron for the manu
facture of small arris. Choosing to have
the best quality of arms, we must go a
broad for the best quality cf iron. A na
tional foundery woul i scon teach us to im
provo the manufacture ot iron, and we
would be saved the mortification of bring
ing iron from abroad, and the money, loo,
we l.nvc to pay for it ,The cost of heavy
tuns would presently bo dimini. bed, and
their quality wou'd be, undoubtedly, very
materially improved. It therefore appears
tome that every- conaid ration of sound
policy ard economy demands the establish
ment of a national foundery, which J ac
cordingly respect. nlly recoinmsmd.
The seacoast l. fences are gradually but
eertainjy, advancing towards completion,
and when finished will constitute a system
of maritime defences formidable in 'extent
ami of great magnitude. It is considered
ih'it ths harbor of New York will be im
prrgnable from any attack from the se
when the fortifications now in progress
ar- finished, . ,
The remainder of the report is devoted to
the result of experiments on arms, &c
The Secretary account for ibe very heavy
expenditure in the quartermaster general 's
bureau, by thejtxteiit PTid characTerc the

- The report of Gen. Denver, the Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs." concurs in the
-view's, of his predecessor, that our Indian
loiicy Has two radical mistakes ! First, the
lands, assigned totbem are entirely "loo
large 'secondlyj "the. paya ent of large an
nuities. J he runner orevents the Indians
from acquiring settled "habits; the latter
causes them to foster afeelinff of depend
ence' and . habits of idleness, exposing them
10 tne wiics nnd machinations of inhuman
traffickers in ardent spirits, unprincipled
gamblers, and." greerry avaricions traders
jutd speculators, - $fo more laid ought to
be, given t ; ; in -hn they can cnltwate;"
they should not be allowed to lease of sell
their lands except to tn -mbers ef ttejf own
respecfivn tribes, and their annutities should
be used for the erectnn of schools and me
chanics' shops.' Especially they should
be relieved of - the mresenee of worthless
tilers and vagrants of their own tribes
whose -wild habits and loving disposition
preclude them from setting down quietly,
rind orderly.
Little information has been obtained res
pecting the actual condition and feeling of
the Utah Indians towards the United State3,
but it is believed by tht head of the depart
ment toe generally - hostile. The report
recommends the investigation and final set.
t.'etnent ol the claims for supplies furnished
the Indian service in California in 185 1 ind
1852, for which a special appropriation was 1
made by Congress in July, 1854. The ne
cessity of speedily coming to some settle
ment with the Indians in , Oregon- and
Washington Territories is also strongly en
forced by the Commissioner. He rpre- j
sent the sU o of our affairs in those Terri
tories as exceedingly critical, owing to
the non ratificatioaof our treaties with the
different tribes. " . ' -
The Commissioner suggests tl proprie
ty of acquiring from the Cberokees 800,
J00 acres, on which the whites have al
ready made settlements entirely against the
law, and which the Indians are willing to
dispose of. The colonization of the Texas
Indians on tbe reservations set apart by
that State is progressing favorably. 'The
Indians in New. Mexico are beginning to
hive tome understanding and appreciation
of our power and resources, and the neces
sity of their preserving peaco with owe an
other and .wi:h the whites.
The Superintendent of California reports
that "universal, peace pre vn (Is among the
tribes throughout the Slate,'1 and that the
progress of the reservations is such as the
most sangoine friends of tne Inuims could
wish for. "Among other facts, he states
thai the Nsrne Lac kee reservation raised
over ten thousand bushels of wheat, and tht
the wprk was dono by Indians, having on
ly two white men as overseers
A most reprehensible practice l as pre
vailed to some extent in California of kid
napping and selling in Indian children.
Only few persons acted thus tnhuma ly,
and tbe voice of the people has unanimous
ly denounced it The malefactors wefo
punished According to the requirements of
the lav.
The .New York Indians continue to im
prove, generally adopting agricultural ar.d
mechanical pursuits, and even the habits
and customs of the whites.
By treaties concluded in July and Au
gust, 1855 the Indians in Michigan were
relieved from their obligation to remove
west of the Mississippi river; they received
limited but sufficient quantities of land, held
by ihem in severalty, and ample means for
educational purposes.
1 he Menomonees and Stockbrid es, of
Wisconsin., under advantages similar to
those enjoyed by the Indians of Michigan,
are gradually preparing themselves to be
admitted as cilia ms of the United States.
The Indians in Minnesota are ooing well.
A portion of the Indians atjhe head wa
ters of the Missouri were severely scourg
ed by the smallpox, losing by that malady
2,0' 0 souls. .
Treaties have been made with the tribes
west of Missouri by which the litleof these
Indians to all lands owned and chimed by
them, exbept such portion 1 as ere reserv
ed for their future homes, w extinguish
ed Thus 13.658,000 acre were acquired
for occupancy by our citizens in Nebraska
and Ka isat, whilst 1,512 000 acres were
reserved for the use o the Indians.
The Indians on tne Upper Arkansas and
Upper Platte, with the exception of tbe
Cbayenncs anJ Keowaa, have been quiet
and peacefully disposed during the year.
Tbe Cayennes were in open hostility, and,
though caastised by our troops command
ed by Col. Sumner, are not yet sufficiently
g tbdued.
Tbo reports in regard to the fjur great
south-western tribes, the Cherokees, Creeks,
Choctaw and Chickasaws, are very favor
able. They have regularly organizctf gov
ernments and laws, well suited to their con
dition and circumstances. v
Tho- tribes in tbe southern supermten
dency have for some years suffered of
drought, but the present season was very
abundant, and they have ample supplies of
all necessaries of lite. ,
It is expected that the Scminolcs will
soon remove and settle within the district
assigned them in the treaty of 1856.- A
delegation of Seminoles will soon visit their
brethren in Florida to induce them to emi
grate to their own new homes.
- The tribal lands of the VVyandotis, at
the junction of the Missouri and Kansas
rivers, were divided. among them, giving to
each sou I about 40 ecrcs.
During the past summer a treaty was
made with the Pawnees which is calcula
ted, if approved by tho Senate, to "place
these restless and lawless Indians in a set
tled condition, where, they can " easily be
controlled. -
THE GENERAL UND OFf ICE REPORT. '
The General Land Office report
shows an aggregate of public lands dis
posed of during the five quarters ending
September 30, 1857, of a littleover twen-ly-one
millions of acres. Of this, ' the
proportion granted to Alabama and Min
nesota for railroad purposes, pursuant
to the act of Congress," is about five mil
lions." Of nearly thirteen millions of a
crcs sold nd located, it is calculated
that about three-fourths' weie taken ibr
actual settlementr Tbf fidUng off im-i
der this latter hnad j since the previous
report la i more than six milliona of acres,
and the cash receipts ha ve dlminlsed in
a still largesr proportion. Theser facts

" The views of tha"commissioner toiich
ing the policy of the3government"in;the
dis)Osat of the- pnblic? domain favor the
istcrests of 'the actual set tiers;, and op
jiose any policy tliat 'would allow a mo
nopoly -in the hands - '-of speculators.
Upon' this subject hernses the1 following
language.: .--a--" '.' .r
.. "Tlie wisdonj xC the pre-eniptiou' pol
icy is no longer the subject of controver
sy it is established by the "history of
every neighborhood and settlement
tbrwghout the wesf. 'This is said in
IuT View of the fact that many Ira udn
leut pre-emption claims are established
by invasion and perjury ; and that such
will be the case even under 'the 'most
diligent administration, of this and' the
local offices, especiallydnring the peri
ods such as that through which we
have recently, passed, vhere the spirit
of speculation has possession of the pub
lic inmd. . . J, I.:
"But this class of cases, when com
pared with tlie great body, of bonost
claims made by men l.ving upon the
lands, is too inconsiderable to weigh a-
gainst our policy. The title to the lands
should pass immediately from the gov
ernment to the men: who are to culti
vate tha soil. So fur as it may be a-
voided, the speculator should not be al
lowed to intervene. With view to uni
form practicability in the .system, im
portant amendments of the pre-emption
laws are recommended." , .
The report shows an activity t hi our
surveying ; Ojierations, during the five
quarters ending September 30, 1857,
beyond that of any preceding period
and that the-quantity of new lands now
liable to be disposed of exceeds, by ma
ny millions of acres, the surveyed lands
of any former period
On the Pacific slope the surveyffbave
bean pushed with extraordinary rapidi
ty ; upwards of 80,U00 miles have been
exeeuted in California at the expanse of
a million of dollars.
