As stated in the last annual report, the negoti with the Camanches, Kirways, and other Indiaas Arkansas river, contemplated’ by an act passed at the preceding session of Congress, had vecessarily to be ane Poned till the present season. At a suitable poriod last Jpring they were confided to the agent in that quarter.

The report of this officer, herewith transmitted, evidences the sa- tisfactory manner in which he has discharged the im- portant daties ecnfided to him in this comnection, aud, ss containing highly valuable information touching our relaticns with the prairie and mountain tribes, and grave suggestions relative to our future policy im reference to them, commends itrelf to the attenti:n and consideration ofall who may take an interest in the future of this un- fortunate class of our Indian population. There is but a single agent for all the Indians of the Upper Arkansas and Platte rivers, and the immense region Iying between them fand between our frontier tribes and Rocky Mountains. From the great extent of this edd ‘the numerous Indians within it, and the distance between the larger bodies of th beyond the power of one person to mi may be his qualifications.

I therefore respectfally renew the recommenda- tion of a former Commissioner of Indian Affairs, that the agency be divided, and another agent appointed Several topics of interest connecte: with the semi-civi lized tribes of the Southern Superintendency ace deserving ef special notice. During tae past summer sevaral of them, but more prrticularly the Cherokees aud Czecks, sent delegates to attend a general counsil concerted among tiemselves to be held with the Camanche: and other wild tribes of the prairies, the object of which was to compromise apprehen ied difficulties likely to arise ont Of depre ‘ations and other outrages committed by the lat« Yer, and to come to rome agreement for the establishment of pesceful relatious between them in future, It was the intention of the more enligh‘ened tribes to seize this op portunity of endeavoring tom kee salutary impression upon their wilder brethren, by fully representing to them their relations to the United States, our power to chastise and pucish them for their aggressions, and the oonsequex t nece:sity of their remaining peaccable and friendly, as well wth our citizens as with other tribes. High waters snd other unfarorable circumstances preveated a full at- tendance from the various t:ibes expected to be repre kentec, and the meeting proved too iaignifcant to justify’ an expectation of any very flattering resulta; yet the excelient mo'ive by which our border trives were actuated, that participated in tris movement, entitles them to the commendation of the government. A general eouncil of this kind, and for like objects, under the imme- diate auspices and patronage of the government, is highly desirable ; and 1 respectfully recommend an application to Congress for & small appropriation for the parpore. The Cherokees, desirous of maltiplying their already gumerous schools, and thus to diffuse more widely ani more rapidly the blessings of education are anxious to harge themselves of an onerous public debt in part cted, it is believed, for the above object, manifest- jerire, in order to obtain means for those commenda- ble purposes, to retrocede to the government the tract of eight hundred thousand acres of land, added to their for- mer possessions by the treaty of New Echoto; but the de- Jegaticn from the tribe, after several interviews with the Department last spring, withdrew the propositicn. It is suppored, however, that it will be renewed duriog the ap- prosching winter. "This tract. which projects north alovg western boundary of Missouri, lies detached from their country, and has not been settled by them It is not bable that they will ever have use for it, their other Eisas being ample for all thete purposes, Intelligence has recently been received of a most das tardly and inhuman outrage perpetrated ia the Cherokee pation, Ancrew and Washington Adair, peaceable aud wnofiending citizens of the nation, having been deli- berately and prutally murcered in cold blood by an srmed mob of Cherokees, about one hundred in number. It having been reported that these lawless persons, rein. forced by others, meditated still further acts of violence anc blocdabed, which it was feared the authorities of the | nation, unaided, could not prevent, here appeared to be tmminent danger of a state of * do 1 ing th interposition of the strong ment, in conformity with the provision of thd sixth arti- ele of the treaty of 1435 and 1826, with the tribe. As a measure of precaution, it was, therefore, ceemed proper to request that the military force on that frontier be pisced subject to the requisition of the Superintendent of | ian Affairs there, to be employed, if requisite, in pro tecting the lives and property of Cherokess that might be | in danger, ard preventing the further effusion ef blood. There belog, however, no disposition of interference un. | Becessarily in the domestic affairs of the Cherokees, it is hoped there will be no occasion for such proceeding, ani that the authorities ot the tribe will be able ‘o prevent further outrage, and to bring those concerned G that Committed to a just punishment.

A con siderable number bave banded togethar and armed them- selves to xesist the attempt at al hazards; and in case of | failure, they threaten the lives of those of their chiefs who have been instrumental and active in the adoption | and enforcement of their own law. The superintendent, | deeming it prudent to interfere for the atay of further proceedings until the views of the Department oopld be obtained, the subject was recently submitted for your consideration. enforcement against Indiers, by criminal prosecu- tion, of the law to prohibit the introduction or sale of | liquor in the Indivn country, is believed to be contrary | ‘Xt only to the intention of the framers of tha: law, but alo to the principle uniformly acted on in respect to all | of the tribes, of as little direct interference in their in- ternal and domestic affairs, Hence offences, and other matters of even greater concern, are left to be settled en- | tirely by themselves. By the second and third articles of the treaty with the Creek Indians of November 23, 1838, the rum of four hua. red thourand dollars wan stipulated to be allowed for roperty abandoned and Jost by individuals of the tribe. Ex'osequence of their forced sad compulsory removal wont of the Mississippi river; fifty thousand dollars of the amount was to be furnished im stock animals, to be di tributed in proportion to the loss in each case, as net forth in a xchedule which accor: panied the treaty. The remaining three hundred and fifty thourand dollars were to be inverted for the benefit of the individuals of the Creek Nation reterred to in the preceding article, so as to pecure them five per cent annually. By the fourth ar- tiole, however, this fund, at the end or twenty-five years from the date of the treaty, is to be wrested front the individuals, to whom it really belongs, and given to the nation at large. This feature of the treaty has long ex: eited feelings of discontent and dissatisfaction, which @ontinue to increase with the approach of the period when the change is to take place. Those of the chiefs living | who signed the treaty, assert that they did not under- | stand this provision as itis, aud deny that they ever sented to any such arrangement, while the individuals di- Fectly interested aver that they will never yield their fight to the fund. It has been, and continues to be, regarded as theirs by the whole tribe, but it ts feared uch will rot be the feeling when the time arrives for all to participate in it. Toavoid serious difficulty that may | then arise, the chiefs, representing the claimants wad tie | entire tribe, have made alto have the whole | mount paid over to th to whom it belongs; and it is highly desirable that this be done, especially a the interest, amounting in many cases to but a few conta, is te the great majority of them of no benefit whatever The political connection between the Choctaws and Chickasaws, established through the agency of the gov- ernment, by the convevtion of 1837, under which the Ghickasaws form a component part of the Choctaw nation, and are subject to its laws, still continues, notwithstaad- tg the earnest and persevering efforts of the Chickasawa | te induce tho Choctaws to consent ton dissolution thereof, The interest of the Chickasaws, particularly of a pecat 7 character, are materially variant from those of ¢! er tribe; and they are naturally anxious to enjoy the satisfaction and sdvantages of a separate goverament of their own. The consummation of this reasonable desire | would, without doubt, har decided tendency to pro- mete their advancement and permanent rep i is tuch to be regretted, however, that the Choctaws, to whom the union in of no advantage whatever, still con- | to the spirit of our in- | tinue indispored to yield to the natural amd reasonable wishes of their brethren, and those of the government, on this subject. The earnest efforts of the department to effect the emt- grticn of the Seminole Indians, still remaining in Flori- under arrangements heretofore fully reported, havin failed of complete success, they have been niaced | s | all the advantage of his crim have large stocks of cattle, horses and bogs, for whict a ready market is found within their nation. Qaapaws are a harm- lern, inoffensive people, but with few exceptions indolent. Those who are industrious and labor on the farm reap @ rich hervest for their toil, and are thus ena- bled to aid their indolent brethren. The Senecas, and Senecas and Shawneer are opposed to the establisment of schools in their country. The Quapaw school fu: has been transferred to the Osage manual labor school, where the children of Quapaws are educated. The 0: }, those who are adults, are reported by their agent as wild d that it is impossible to induce them habits of living. They go twice a year out on the Grand Prairies, some six or eight hundred miles, in the pursuit of bulfalo, deer and antelope. and trade with the wild Indians of the north and northwest 4s & measure of greater economy and convenience, the quarters of the superiatendent for this district been removed from Van Buren to Fort Arkansas, where, by the order of the Se- of War, scsommodation for his office will f the public buildings connected with the military post at that piace, and where, also, adequate tection for the large amoant of public money at times fothe custo’y of the superintendent may be had from the military. The clerkship of this, aa well as of the Northern Saperintendency, has been discontinued. The removal from Texas of the various bands of Indians belonging to tribes on the frontiers of our Western States, who, contrary to their tresty obligations have for some time been settled in different localities in that State, has been nearly, if not entirely. consummated, as provided by the act’ of August, 1852, appropristing $25,000 for the purpose. It will for some time, however, require constant watchfulness on the part of the agents of their respective tribes, as well as of the mili! posta in thelr vicivity and in Texas, to prevent turn. In regard to the Indians properly belonging to thi State, and those generally within our bewly acquired and remote possessions, there is, in my jad ent, but one lan by which they can be saved mn dire calamities if not en‘ire extermination, and that is to colonize them in tvitable locations, limited in extent, and distant as possible from the white settlements; ard to teach and aid them to devote themselves to the cultivation of the soil and to the raising of stock. This plan would be at- tended with considerable cost in the outset, as will any other tha! can be suggested for their sa‘ety and perma nent welfare; but the expenses would diminish from year to year, and in the end it would, [am confident, be much the most economical that can be desired. Thus far we have adopted no particular or systematic course of policy in regard to any of these Indians, except thoss in California They bave teen left to roam over immense Gistricts of country, frequently coming into hostile col lision, with our citizens, and committing depredations and outrages upon them, as well as upon those of a neighbor- ing republic. The pursuits of the chase no longer af- }fording them an acequate subsistence, in conseyuence ‘of the increasing scarcity of the gare, necessity alone must often force them into these aggressions upon the whites for the mere purpose of obtaining ne: ossary food. Failing to restrain and control them, we are obli pies ‘and bound, by every principle of right and ju istics, to jndemnify those who suffer from their Geprecations, The present condition of things eontinuing. there can be no doubt that tho amounts which will be reqnired to pay for such depreda- tior #, added to the cost of tuaintaining at great expense, an otherwise unnecessarily large military force in the distant territories eccupied by these Indians, would far wore than suffice even for the firet few aud most expen- sive years of the system, for the whole cost of concen- trating and sustaining the Indians in the maaner sug- gested ar the only apparent practicable and humane ar- Tapgewent calculated to remedy existing evils, aud to prevent future calamity to these people. 1 feel constraia- ed to give it my earuest recommendation. It has alrwady been in part sanctioned in regard to the Indians im Cali- fornia and during the present year it as beon tried with & portion of those in New Mexico with an encouraging ce gree of success. Indeed, the history and conéition of the Pueblo Indians amply attest its en:ire practicability. It 4a strongly recommended for the Indians in Texas, by our experienced and efficient principal agent there, who states that he bas consulted them upon the subjec:; that some are anxious for the adoptionof such a system, and that all would gladly yield and submit to it He indicates particular districts of country as suitable for fixed locations for them, and furnishtsan estimate of the cost of concentrating and maintaining them for the first year, as followa — 1, Southern Cemanches—for subsistence, agricul- tural implementa, seeds, wagons and oxen, stock cattle, blacksmith’s work and contingent ex- d Wichetos, the same......-.. ) Ton-ka-hues, Lipans, and Musi Pamesyeey ease coeases 20010 biuaeiencie acnaeneeubucn ai ae The districts designated by the agent are within the boundaries of Texas, but remote from any of the settle- nents, and presenting but little inducement for «white population. It would”be erential to the success of the Plan, however, that the United States be invested with exclusive jurisdiction and supreme control over the reser- vations, in order effectually to protect the Indians from unlawfulintrusions, to guard against improper intercourse between them snd the whites, and especially to prevent the introduction into their midst of that curse of their race, ardent spirits, But few outrages of an sggravated character have been reported as having among tke Indians in New Mexico, since the last annual report. In the early part of the present season the late Gover- nor and Superintendent of indian Affairs there, formed the project of all the Indians that were within that part of the territory, extending from its southern ani eastern bourdary to the Arkansas on the north, and the Kio Grande ‘on the west, ani colonizing them, in suitable locations, on the west side of the iast named river, Such them as were consulted w the subject readily asrented to the proposition, anda amall portion were removed aecordiogly, and ar tangements mace for furnishing them with a limited supply of subsistence un‘il the crops, which were planted for their beneAt, could mature. They remainsd quiet aud peaceable, and manifested a proper disposition to aid and assist in the agricultural labor. But no such enter prise having been sanctiored by Ccngress, or the Execu tive, ond the very limited means provided for the Indian service in the territory being entirely icadequate, this office felt constrained to order « suspension of further Proceedings, until the whole subject,could be fully consid ered, the best course of permanent! policy determined, and the means necesrary to carry it out provided. The g | present Governor and Superintendent suggests and re commends a different arrangement—that cessions be ob tained from all the Indians in the territory of their lands in the vicinity of the white settlemen’, and annuities in money slowed them therefor, out of ‘which payments shall regularly be made for all the deprecations which the Indiacs may commit. He thinks that this plan would be tke most (economical, and that the constant liability of this tax upcn their annuity would restrain the In dians from a of their usual outrages upon our citizens. such an arrangement, however, there are grave objections, Paylog for depre¢ations commitied by Indians ont of their annuities, instead of opsrating as a check upon them, serves with the viciously inclined rather asan incentive to the practice. The criminal alone is not made to pay the penalty, as, in all cases of any conse- quence, his proportion of the annuity is wholly inade- quate for that pur; . The loss falls a the whole tribe in commen, he: tancessty and well posed being made to suffer equally with the guilty. The latter reaps nd pays only an inconsi derable pro rata part of the compensation m the Indians feel the effect of the penalty at the time of the perpetration of the offence, when, if at all, it would be best calculated to make a salutary impression. The Payment is made by the government for the depredation ont of their annuities, but they do not realize the fact until their funds are distributed—months probably after the offerce, which being then forgotten, or but lit- | tle thought of, the dec uction from their funds is regarded as an act of hardship and injustice. At the last session of Congress, an appropriation of $260,000 was made to defray the expenses of removin, the Indians in Californis to ‘tive military reservations,’ of not more than twenty five thousand acres each, and subsisting them there, should the President of the United Btates spprove of this plan of operaticns. It having received his sanction, suitable instructions for carry- ing it inte effect were promptly insued to the Superintend- ent of Jadian Affairs for that State mn in. thie city, but in consequence of the length of time unfortu- nately consumed in his ney, the requirite initis‘ory measures for that purpose have been somewhat delayed.’ Reports upon the subject have only been re cently received from him, copies of which are appeudod I regret to tay that these repor's make known a state of things much less favorable, with respect to the practica: Dility, expense and probable succeas of this plan of ope. rations, than was anticipated from the information pos tensed when it was authorized by Congress and sanctioned by the President. It appears that auitable locations can. not be found or cannot, probably, be made in North California for the Indians in that quarter. Their remo val and colonization will therefore, it ia apprehenied, be aitended with greater difficulty and expense than was expected, ard instead of there being ample territory for the purpore, belonging to the United States, as was sup- posed, it also seems that in the only sections of country Proper for the location of the Indians, we may be com- peliea, in order to obtain the necessary reservations, to cur considerable expense in making extensive pur. chases of existing claims to the lands, founded upon pre emption rights acd Spanish and Mexican grants. Con- sidering the difficulty now encountered in finding suitable locations, the wonderful growth of the State, ‘sad the oon sequent rapidly increasing necessity for agricultural land: I am impressed with the painful apprehension, that long before the Indians can be domesticated and fitted to become a constituent of the ent population of the State, they must necessarily again be encroashed upon and ousted from their reservations. The Superin- tendent reports that under the counsel and advice of the Congressional representatives of the State, be shall pro- individual righta to land 1 embraeed ions, subject to zatification by Congre: and it also appears that in addition to subsistence, he is making arrangements to supply the Indiana with stock, agricultural implementa, seeds, and other means of sell pport and improvement. These Proceedings sre not warranted either by the law or his instructions, but are in cont:avention of both; though there can be no doubt that the plan, in being restricted by the law to the mere removal and subsistence of the Indians, is radically de- fective. Considerations of economy and philanthropy — the interests of the government as well as the permanent welfare of the Indians—equally and alike raquire that the plan be so enlarged as to provide,all the essential means and instrumentalities of improving, civilizing, and making them a self-sustaining 7 eople. In conformity with a proviso in the Inw, cles in California have been abolished Superintendent only to manage hundred thousand Indians in thi the three agen- the leaving active sod energetic he m be, | 1m practicability of abie, unaided and alone to discharge even # material part of the numerous pnd com and Oregon remain in @ very unset‘led acd precsrious condition, arising out of the constant and uns- voable encroachment upon their territories by the whites, and no provision being made for indemrifying and plecing them beyond the reach of the injuries thus in- flicted. Already have difficulties of a serious character, resulting in bloodshed and loss of the lives of valuable teen, Seen lace. Indeed, hostilities with the Indians, ‘all these of country, may be said to be con- stantly er the cecurrence of which in either would, in all probability, involve an amount of expense far exceeding the cost of arrangements that would secure peace and tranquility with the various tries, at the same time tend to promote their domestic end permanant wel In view, however, of the uncertainty necessarily at- tending all apeculations upon the question of the proper course of policy to be pursued towards the Indians in our remote territories, and the impossibility of forming con clusions of a reliable character, from the diverse, vary ing, and often contradictory suggestions and recommen dations of the different agents, and others, {t is respect- fully suggested, wise and prudent precaution, that commissioners, able, impartial, upright, and practical men be appointed as soon a& possible to proceed to Texas, California. and the territories of New Mexico, Utah, Ore- gon, and Washington, for the purpose of investigatiag the whole subject of our Indian relations there, and of nego tiating ard recommending such conventional and other ments as may be required to place them upon a ble, and satisfactory focting. The numerous claims for Indian depredations from nearly all séctions of the country where there is inter course and proximity between the whites and Indisns, are a source of Leong perplexity andembsrrassment. Tae act of June 80, 1834, ‘to regulate trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, and to preierve peace on the frontiers,”” guaranties indemnities for such depredations upon the property of our citizens, committed by tribes in amity with the United States, and provides that they shall be paid for out of the the annuities of the Indi if they receive any, otherwise out of the treasury. requisite authority to adjudicate ard pay th tter class of claims, in like manner with other ized obliga- tions, has never been given; while, ia respect to the for- mer, the power to pay them out of the annuity is virtu- ally abrogated by provisions contained in acts making ap propriations for the Indian Department, passed at the last wo sessions of Congress: requiring. as they do, all annai- ties und other Indian moneys to be paid directly to the In éian or Indians to whom they are due per capita, and without deduction for any purpose whatever, ‘“‘unless the imperious interests of the Indian or Indians, or some treaty stipulation, shall require the payment to bs made otherwise under the special direction of the President.” Comp nations for depre. ations not being required by treaty stipulation, nor by any imperious interest of the Indians,payment of this latter c'ass of claims must, there- fore alro fall upon the T: easury ; and appropriations should be made by Congress to enable the Department to falfil these just and recognized obligations towards our frontier citizers, who are liable to sufler from such depredations. The results of long and ample experience conclusively prove that the money annuity system has done as much, not more, to cripple and thwart the efforts of the government,’ to domesticate and civilize the Indien tribes, than any of the many serious obstacles with which we have had to contend Asa principle,applicable with but ecearioral exceptions, 60 long as an Indian remains in expectation of money from the government, it is next to impossible to induce him t> take the firat step towards civilization; which step is to settle himsalf ina fixed habita‘ion and commence the cultivation of the foil. However inadequate the pittance he may be entitled to receive, he continues to look forward to it in the vague €xpectation of its sufficiency; and lives on from year te ear an idle and dependant being, and dies miserably e bas lived. Whatevermay be the extent of coaside:a- tion allowed for lands hereafter ceded to the govarnment, by an undomesticated tribe, it should consist chiefly of goods, subsistence, agricultural implements, and assiat- snce, stock animals, and the means of mental, moral and industrial education and training. Let. this principal be adop‘ed with all the tribes, wherever located, to whom we have not set the pernicious precedent of payments ia monty, and thus freed from the injurious effects of money annuities, they will present a more favorable field for the efforts of the philanthropist and Christian. The present license system, by which, under the inter- course act, trade in regu'ated among the Indian tribes, is defective; and as administered for many years, it has be- come an’ evil of magnitude, The whole trade of the Indian tribes is thrown into a few hands—a monvpoly is built up, and an interest fostered, which from the very nature of things becomes formidable, and is liabie to be wielded against the views and wishes of the government and the true interest of the Indians. ‘The conversion of the debts due by individual Indi to their traders into what is known or dsmominated “National Debts,” and the appropriation of the annuit for their payment, is unjust to all the Indians who pay thelr obligaticns, and who are endeavoring by their own application and labor to sustain themselves; and is the fruitful source of corruption and fraud, and should meet with no favor from the officeryof the government. There Is no absolute necessity for ployment bj Indian tribes, of attorneys or agents to attend to thei business at the seat government. In the dependent con- dition of the Indians it is the duty of the government, as their guardian, to cause all matters of a business charac- ter with them to be so conducted as to preclude the ne cessity of the intervention of this class of persons. The act, approved 30th June, 1834, “to regulate trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, and tu preserve peace on the frontier,” requires important modification to make its provisions applicable to the existing oon ii tion of Indian relations. Nearly twenty years havo elapse since its adoption, and the consequent natural charges within this period, render it necessary that ad ditional Jegilation should be had to eonform to the pre- sent and anticipated state of our Indian affairs. Defects sre bound to exist in several sections of the act, which would rencer them imperative in cases whure the Isw is violated. A new co*e of regulations is mes. needed for this branch of the public service, 4t now in force was ad pted many yaary since, and inmany particulars, has, become obsolete or inap- fe especially in our new and distant territories. 10 regulations now existing are based upon laws in force Tespecting Indian affairs, and the President has autiori:y under the act of 30th June, 1834, providing for the or ganization of the Department of Iniian Affairs, to scribe sush rul effect its provigions The appro} Hon for the current expenses of our remote Indian service, for the present year, being far short of the sums estimated therefore, and intirely iaadiquate, deficiences to probably the full amount of the reductions made in the entimates by Congress, will have to be pro vided for at the next cession of that body. The trafic in ardent spirits with the Indians, to whom it isso demoralizicg and ruinous, still actively and ex- tensively prevails, less, however, within the confines of the Indian country; it is believed, than along its borders, where there is no iaw,j and no power on the part of the general goverament to restrain it. This taflic is here carried on with impunity, by a ret of lawless harpies, as reckless an they are merciless, io pursuit ef the ill-gotten gains to be thereby acquired. Some years since » strong appeal was made by the head of this Department to the authorities of several of the frontier St: for the pur- pose of endeavoring to procure such ki tion on the part of these States as would tend to uproot this wid spread evil, but without success. Henee it still flour s! in violation of all law, human and divine; the frui:fu source of crime and untold misery, and the frequent cause of serious bra vls and disturbances upon the frontiers, as well as within the Indian courtry. It having been found that the Indians, on the faith of their annuities, fre- quently obtain diquor on credit, from the class of persons referred to, and that they collect these “‘whiekey debta” at the annuity ents, to the prejudice of the licensed and legitimate tra among the Indiana, it is intended herea far an possible, to keep such persons out of the Indian country er tirely, and especially at the time of the payments, As among the beat of the many recommendations made of late years, for the correction of evils connected with our Indian system, I would call attention to that contained in the annual report of last year, in favor of the substitu. tion of new treaties for the heterogenous mass now exist ing, and which, in many respecta, are found to be crude, inbarmenious, andoften contradictory. This measure might be made th ns of greatly simplifying our rela- tions with the various tribes with which we have treaty stipulations; of ensuring ® more judicious and beneficial application of ther fuads, and of promotirg economy in the administration of our Indian affairs. The preparation of the fourth volume of the work on the history, condition and prospects of tho Indian tribes of the United States, is nearly completed, and it will be published with as little delay as practicable. The whole amount (ppd and to be expended for and on account of the Indian service, the present fiscal year, in $1,016,755 60; of which $532,907 81 is for money annui- ties, $1: 6,676 60 for goods and previsions, $61,961 89 for r0- ashe may think fit for carrying into educational purposes, $94,318 80 for agricultural and me- chanical assistance, and $189,870 60 for other miscellan- coun purpores for the benefit of the Indians. io anoual report of last year, the fact was referred tipnlations in various Indien treaties requiring jounts to be invested in safe and profitable stocks, benefit of the Indiaus, have never boon carrie: ont, the United States having retained the principal, and paid the intersst thereon, from the treasury. from year to year, The obligation ard the advantage to the United States of making these investments, aa provided for by the several treaties, were fully set forth, and appropria- tions for that purpose recommended. It was also sug. sted, for reasons cogently stated, as being advisable to invest in like manner the congiderable amounts funded or “held in trust” for In¢iana by the United States, and on which an arnual interest is paid from the treasury, as well ax such sums as would pro: uee the amounts of the “permanent annuities” and other permanent annual dues paid to, and expended for various tribes, The several amounts to be thus invested, should the suggestion be approved, areas follows, viz :— Ast, Amount required by treaty stipulations to be invested in stocks, but which has not been..... sees 24, Amount funded or ‘ held in trust interest paid thereon by the United States. a se veee 4,844,000 00 84, Prioeipal at'6 per cent’ of “Permanent Annuities” and other permanent dues, paic to and expended annually for vari- OUB UDOH ce eeeree seveeeeees 2,826,000 00 a ee . 99,668,000 00 The judicious investment of this large sum, while in no case prejudicial to the interest of the Indians con cerned, and capable of being made to some extent bene- ficial to them, would be attended with advantage to the United States; first, in absorbing a considerable portion of the present large and useless surplus of fands accumu- Jated in the Treasury; and, second, in relieving the eroment from the payment of the immense sums which the annual interest and payments on the above stated ee must eventually amount to, the interest equal- ing the Frinedpel every twenty years. Nor would this mearure be without advantage to the States whose stocks might be selected, and to the community generally, dif fusing, as it would, county, and kee) ment, as well as the interest wise have to be sent abroad.

On the important and ceeply interesting subj-ct of the civilization and improvement of our Indians I have but little to say—less doubtless, than may be expecte?, con ridering the flattering accounts of the ‘rapid improve- ment in civilizstion,” of the various frontier tribes, gen- erally contained in the reports he subject of their condition and prospects. Judging from these in past yeers, [most of the tribes that have been under our im- mediate supervision for considerable periods, should, by thia time, have sttained to an advanced state of civilization and improvement; but unhapily this is pot the cass with any. Yet, that many have made an encouraging de, if progress in acquiring the elements of a rude civilization, cannot be denied. The circumstances of their having abandoned the hunter state with most of its wild habits and characteristics,and ac opted the mor ful and profitable pursuit of agri- culture, ia of itself » great and important step in the tedi- 038 process of their civilization, Andto the full extent of the resources available for that purpose, every favor able opportunity has been seized upon by the goverament and by most of the Christian denomirations throughout the land, to introduce and multiply amongst them the means and instrumentalities of education, and moral and social elevation. Much has certaioly been effected, but far more remains to be done, to secure and accomplish the full and com- plete regeneration of this singular, but interesting race within our borders; but the object isa moble one, andin all respects cererving the attention and energies of the government, and of a great Christian people.

IMPORTANT REFORMS RECOMMENDED—NEW, SURSTAN> TIAL, AND FAST BAILING VESSELS WANTED, WITH COMPETENT OFFICERS, BTC. SPRCLAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THR NEW YORK HERALD. Wasuinaton, Dec 6, 1853. ‘The Report of the Seeretary of the Navy is an import ant Cocurent, from the fact that he advosates the re-or- ganization of the navy, and recommends the appropria tion of five millions for building several steam propeller frigates, He says there are not forty vessels which could be brought into service in ninety days if needed. In ad vocating the construction of steam propellers, he conti- nues:— “Tresommend, therefore, that the Department be au. thorized to have constructed at least six first clara steam frigates—propellers, The opinion is entertained tht that number may be built in our several yards in acdition to tke work now going on, and the repairs usually needed on the return of vessels from long voyages. It i# estiaated that they will cost between four and five millions of dollars and cap be built in about twenty months, wit» the exeep- tion of ome deficiency in the supply of white oak and yellow yine, which can be without much diflicnlty procured. We have on hand at the various yards, ample materials to accomplish what is recommended,’ It will be per- ceived, on referring to the estimates of the Bureau of Construction, that an estimate is made of the entira cost. ‘As it ia deemed desirable to make the addition to our aval forces as early as practicable, ia consideration of the pumber of vessels which @ill soon be unfit for service, and not worth repairing, and asit is important to retain on hand, for emergencies, a rearonable supply of building materiale, I venture to suggest the policy of making the appropriation at an early day, to enable the Department to build them with despatch, and purchase a supply of material s0 as not to diminish the amount on hand.’’ He aleo recommends that the Santee, at Kittery, and the Sabine, at New York, on the stocks since 1819, be altered, modernized, and finished, as substitutes for two frigates of the same class withdrawa as worthless. The old ship-of the-line Franklin, ia being repaired at Kittery, and her model changed, with a view of converting her into a first class steam frigate. ‘Should these recom- menéations be adopted,” the report adds, “our naval force will be strengthened by the addition of two first class sailing frigates, and of seven first class steam frigates capable ef meunting fifty guns each, there being no steamer at prerent of more than fnguns. My opinion is, it would be sound policy to dispose of such vessels as are deemed unfit for service as vessels of war.’? This branch of the report concludes with a recommendation for the establishment of machine shops, and an increase of enlist- ment men from the prefent number—seventy-five han- dred—to ten thousand Under the head of ‘re-organization of the navy,”’ the Secretary recommends a retired list on reduced pay, for the faithful who have become infirm ; the discharge of the inefficient who have no claim on the bounty of their governent fgr services rendered ; promotion regulated by capacity and merit, and not by mere senfority of com- mission ; pay to some extent ccntrolled by sea service. A board of officers of various grader, to be selected by the Prenident, can be convened periodically to report to him tke names of those who, in their judgment, should be made rubjects of the rules prescribed, but their report 1o be binding on the President only so far as he deems proper. A system of rewards and punishments to the sailors, and honorable discharge, is suggested as a means of encouraging more permsnent enlistments, &c. The Secretary is decidedly opposed to the restoration of flogging in the navy. He also calls attention to the Naval Acaiemy, Navy Yards, &c., and, with regard to the basin and railway at San Francisco, for which aa appro. priation was made last Congress, leaving the construction of the work discretionary with the Seoretary of the Navy, he considers, although it would be useful, it is net ne- cessary.
