In regard to the selection of students when Representa

that the President or the Secretary of the Navy be au

The institution is one of too great national importance
to be neglected. It is there that the youth are to bb
ed.c.ted
the character of the navy. I have deemed it important
that the accomplished superintendent, whose fidelity to
his trust was exhibited wider trying circumstances,
should be continued in the position he has filled so ac
ceptably until the srhool shall the again permanentlY

In the emistwise and Nod:Ming duties of the navy, it
Lae been lint 'infrequent that fugitives from insurrection
ary places have sought our ships for refuge and protec

instructions as to the disposition which should home& of
surly refugees. my answer has been that, if insurgents,
they should be handed over to the custody of the Govern
ment ; but if, on the contrary, they were free from any
voluntary part:cipation in the rebellion, and sought the
shelter aid protection of our tlag, then they should be
cared foi• son— umlaut, ' and roi g hi
be enlisted to serve in our public vessels or in our nary
yards, receiving wages for their labor. If such employ

might be referred to the army, and if no employment
could be found for them in the public service, they should
De allowed to proceed, freely and penzeably, without re
straint, to seek a livelihood in any loyal portion of the
country. This I have considered to he the whole re
quired duty, in the premises, of o ur naval officers.
I have Lora desired to invite attention to the fact that
there is no naval depot mi the lakes, notwithstanding the
vast amount of tonnage on that frontier, and to state
that if there were one, and the ability to arm the mer

THE BVHEAUS
The reports of the chiefs of the respective bureaus at
tached to this department present the condition of affairs
cooling under their cognizance iu detail. Their labors
ung rcrimueikititittbsr incri grctitir Wrong la the
events that haw occurred during the prevent year, but
their duties have been discharged vvith ability and fidelity
to the Government, and that, too, in many respects, under
peculiar disadvantages.
The navy yards at Norfolk and Pensacola being in the
el.. ti,. th.
Yards and Docks has not had them under his supervision
but for a small portion of the year. His labors, how
ever, have not been diminished or less arduous in conse
quence.
At no period sines its establishment has the Bureau
of Construction had so great an amount of labor de
volved upon it as during the current year. Not only
the design and construction of the large number of vet.
eels ordered to be built, but the repair and equipment of
all that have been put in commission, with other attend.
fog duties, have come under the cognizance of the chief Of
that bureau and received his unremitting attention.
The emergency has put in requisition the energy and
talent attached to the Ordnance Bureau, which, under
many embarrassments, has met the demand upon it, and
if, at the commencement of our dinictilib., tine wants of
the Government could not, in all instances, be supplied
with the rifled cannon and the Dahlgren heavy ordnance,
that branch of the service is now furnishing guns and
munitions with a rapidity and of a description unsur
patted in any &nice. The occasion io such no to fitimitT
late into greater activity the inventive faculties and
powers of the distinguished commandant of the Wash
ington yard, whose services are as valuable to the coun
try, and entitled teas high regard, as those of the most
successful flag officer wino commands a squadron. For
lA.dhi I u. .nld a fep ism is th 4 esp sit of
the Oriinanre Bureau.
Most of the contracts in the Bureau of Provisions and
Clothing were made on the basis of a force not exceeding
8,000 111Cn is actual service, but the greatly increased
mlinterr end the enhanced prices of many articles have
been attended soils l'criln;* consequences to The ten
tractors, some of whom have been unable to fulfil their
engagements. I am happy to say, however, that the
vigilant chief of that bureau has permitted none of our
squadrons to be deficient in consequence of those failures.
The affair., a
been further systematized and improved under tine Judi
dons management of its intelligent chief. Like every
other branch of service, the medical staff has been
largely increased, not only in the regular corps but by
.4441E4? app.intiust,tg_
The action of the several bureaus has been eminently
satisfactory, under the circumstances of the period. That
the organization of the department might be modified,
and an improved distribution and classification of the
duties that If gitimately belong to it be made, iinVe no
doubt. some of these have been heretofore suggested by
my predecessors, and are referred to by me with defe
rence, but witn a sincere conviction that more sytematic
efficiency might thereby be produced.
EMUITEA AND APPROPRIATIONS
The amount appropriated at the last regular session of
Congress for the naval service, for the current year, was
*13,168,675 86. To this was added, as the special session

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
THE INTERIOR.
iPEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, Nov. 30, 1801
; The report of tho operations of _this Department
during the fie cal year ending June 30, 1861, will exhibit
a diminished amount of 'business in some of the must inv.
POrtant bureaus connected with the Department. This
is attributable mainly to the insurrection which has sud.
nraeinitated the country into a dill .van_
The decline of business has very sensibly ail - card the
operation,; of the General Land Office. Official inter
course has been entirely suspended with all the South
ern Staten ithich contain any Dation of the public Matins
and, emeonently, no salei have been made hi any of
those States.
In all the Northern Stine; in which any of the public
lands are situated the per has almost entirely suspended
sake. The (Imam/ for volunteers has called Imo the
rails of the army a largo munlmr of that Imelda of 6111
people whose energy and enterprise iu time of peace in
dine them to emigrate to the West and settle upon the
public lands, thus laying the foundations of future pros
) crone communities and States. Besides, the ordinary
eutnels of trade and commerce have been so obstructed
by the War that the tourcta yr irtc.7= (tout which the
settim upon the public lands have realized the means of
purchasing have been greatly diminished.
On the - SOth September, VAL there were 55,555,595.25
acres of the public lands which had been surveyed but
Lot proclaimed foe patio gala. The Janda guevayoll and
offered at public sale previous to that time, and then
übjtrt to private entry, amounted to 78,662,7:t5.64 acres,
making all aggreaate of public lands surveyed and ready
for side of 334,218,4!_ii).59 acres.
Sines ! hn MIA animal report of tillADApartmont, no
proclamation for a public sale of lands has been made,
as the quantity already em3eet to private entry iantore
Than sufficient to meet the wants of the country. Da log
the fiscal year ending 30th June, 186], and the tlmt
quainter of the current year, endino3oth September, MIL
9,289,:128.31 acres have been disposed of. Of this amount,
1,021,493 77 acres have been certified to the States of
Minnetota, Michigan, and Lenisiana, under railroad
grants inade by Cot•ress ; 600,094.47 acres have been
.2ertified to States as swamp lands: 2,153.940 acres have

004.07 acres have been :.el , l fur cash, meincing $025,-

It nill be seen from this statement that the public
lands have ceased substantially, for the present, at least,
to be ri maim of revenue to the Governments The li.
befal manlier is which the acts of Congress, granting
-wasp and overflowed lands to the States, have ill.lll
constrned and executed, the grant- of large onantbies to

+Mind to locate bomity-land warrants for military vr
vire, have combintd to reduce the cash sales to an
amount but liqle more than sufficient to meet-the ex
pense: of our laud sy. stem. The net income from sales
during the last fiscal year will hardly reach the sum of
$200,000. inning the last fiscal year there were certified
to the States for railroad under the several
acts of Congress malting grants I such purposes: To
Minnesota, 308,871.1.10 acre-; to Michigan, 636,061.42
acres; and to Louisiana, 76,560.45 acres. The whole
amount certified to all the States, under such grants, tei

The grants of swamp and overflowed lands to the
States hove absorbed a large amount of valuable lands,
and have caused a heavy drain upon the treasury. Thu

This amount there have boon located: For revolutionary

The propriety of issuing bminty-land warrants to the
volunteera who have boon gilled into Berlin to MINTON
the existing insurrection, is already a subject of discus
eirdi, and meet be determined by Congress. A warrant
for 160 acres to each volunteer iargaged in the service
would absorb over one hundred millions of acres, a much
larger amount than has been issued under all previous
laws_ It is evident that the issue of such an amount of
warrants would destroy all hope of deriving any revenue
from the public lands, at lout for many years. And
white such n measure would deprive the Government of
all income from tlib, kouree, it would ufforct but lime

Government securities. This would give them the full
benefit of 11w appropriations made, While the Govern

The expense of surveying private land claims in the
territory acquired front flexico, based upon grunts of the
Mexican Government, have heretofore been paid by the
United States. These surveys have cost the Government
large ulnae. The c'cts* kirVeWliig oite ' amounted
to twenty-two hundred dollars; another cost the Govern
ment fourteen hundred dollars. The aggregate cost of
surveying them has taken from the treasury a large
amount of the public funds. No valid reason exists, in
my opinion, for taxing the Government with the cost of
Thsro le .0 oiAlgariert resting upon d..-
'elated States to ascertain and define the boundaries of
grants made by lilexico to individuals previous to the ces
sion of the territory. The claimant realizes all the benefit,
and should be charged with the expenses of defining the
bOTlndin of his claim. The surveys should be male
tinder the authority of the United States, b ft the cost or
the survey should be paid by the claimants, and patents
for the land should be withheld until the expenses of the
survey are paid.

Our Indian affairs are in a very unsettled and unsatis
factory condition, •
The spirit of rebellion against tile alithorilY of the
Government, which has precipitated a large number of
States into open revolt. has been instilled into a p ntion
of the Indian tribes by emissaries from the insurrec
tionary States.
Th& Lips/. tiklbss of flhseeltsse. Chichaeaws and Qhr e_

suspended all intercourse with the agents of the United
States.

The superintendent and tome, if not all, of the agents of
the Southern superintendency, who were in office on the
4th of March, have assumed an attitude of revolt to the
United States, and have instigated the Indians to acts of
,sf their . s tr. c .,

authority by virtue of commissions front the pretended
Confederate Government.
Although the Indian Office has not been able to pro
infaentallan of the Nattiitisit of affalet, and
of tile exteat to which the Itultizis have assumed a hos
tile attitude, enough has been ascertained to leave no
„ .
room for doubt that the influences which have been ex

portion of them to renounce the authority of the United
States and to acknowledge that of the rebel Govern•

It has been currently reported through the press that
a portion of them have been organized as a military
force, and are in arms with the rebels; but the Pep:wt

The hostile attitude assumed by portions of the tribes
referred to, has resulted from their fears, produced by
violence and threats of emissaries sent among Client, and
the withdrawal from their 'Vicinity of the tromit of the
United States, whose pretence would hare afforded e
grovantee of protection. It is unfortunate that the War
Deportment has been unable to send to that region such
a body of troops as would be adequate to the protection

United States and pay their annuities; assailed by threats
of violence, and seeing around them no evidence of the
power of ta m United States to protect them, it is not sur
prising that their loyalty was unable to resist such in
iluencea. tinny - white men of far greater intcitisence
have joined the insurrectionists against their own con
victions of right, under much less pressure.
We have reason to believe that as soon as the United
States shall re-establish their authority in the Indian
eamitry, and shell tend there a auffieient force for the
protection of the tribes, they will renounce all connec
tion with the rebel Government and resume they former
relations with the United States.
The payment of their annuities has been suspended.
Tho Commissioner of hien Affairs expresses the opin.
inn, in which I concur, that Congress suonlit make the
usual appropriations to comply with the treaty stipulations
of the 'United States, that the means may exist to pay them,
if circumstances and the condition of the tribes shall
hereafter render it proper and expedient to do so.
The tithes upon the rostau vivr; or the GochT moun

of the agents it is hoped they may ho restrained from
depredations upon the white settlers ? and be gradually

The practice of licensing traders to traffic with the
Indians has been produetivo of mischievous results_
The money received by them in payment of their an

the traders. The Indians purchase goods of the traders
upon a credit, to be paid for upon the receipt of their

The Indians are usually - sufficient. to absorb the whole
amount. But, if anything is left after the payment of
their debts, it is used for new purchases front the, traders.
The result of this system of trade is, that the Indians
pay for the goods they pnithiise much more than they
are worth, But this is not the ouly evil resulting front
it. When a treatyis made, a large array of debts is
Presented, and provision usually made in the treaty for
their payment. Witnesees are produced who establish

should provide for the payment of their annuities in
goods and agricultural implements, at the lowest prices
at which they can be procured by the Government. The
Department should be authorized to procure the consent
of the Whoa with whieh treaties eiikt providing for the
payment of each annuities, that it shall Mimi:3h them
with such goods and agricultural implements as their
wants require, at the wholesale prices of such articles in
the hest markets, in lieu of the cash annuities provided
for in the treaties.
By such u change the 'lndians -would avoid ass pay
ment of profits which are now paid to the traders, and
would realize a much larger amount in goods for their
' annuities thou they now receive.
No branch of the public service connected with this
depot-Munk has been so much affected by the insurrec
tion of the Southern Statqas that of the Patent 01lice.
The receipts of the office from January 1 to September
30,1851, were eio2,toB 111; and the expenditures were
5185,594 05, showing an excess of expenditures over re

During tho corresponding period of the last year the

AFRICAN SLAVE TnADR
The President, by all Ardor dated the 1 2.1 of May htst,
devolved upon this department the execution of the act
of B.d March, 1.819, and other laws enacted for the sup.
pre,sion of the African slave trade.
The Eiddect nas intllltdiattlY taken in hand, under a
deep ewe of our obligation as a nation, to put an sod,
if possible, to this odious traffic, and with a full convic
tion that the power of the Government, in the hands of
competent, honest, and faithful officers, was adequate to
thi • FRUITS, Ailing other thlllol I tallied the mare

of inspecting vesselsfully equipped for the African slave
trade 7 seeingand of the arts and devices employed to
-
nnsi centrist The - veal objects of their voyage,
thus enabling them to detect and prevent the clearance
of ve, , sels designed for this trade. It is gratifying to
know that unprecedented success has crowned the efforts
. .
of the past few months. Five vessels have been seized,
tried, and solldemnod 1.11 , the courts. One slam has
been taken on the coast of ALlcie with about nine hun
dred uegrors on board, who were conveyed to the repub
lic ofLiberia. One tenon has been convicted at New
York as the captain of a slaver, having on board eight
I hundred cantireei and two others, (mates of a different
vessel,) and another one at Boston for fitting out a Tce•
eel for the slave trade. In the first-named case the pe
nally is death ;in the others it is fine end imprisonment.

The Intl ex - mitten of the law in these instances will no
doubt have a most salutary influence in deterring others
from the commission of like offences.
A number amber indictments have been found which
are yet to be tried.
Muck ere Alt is clue to the Iffnitea Mates atior.e r s and
marshals at New York and Boston for the vigilance and
zeal evinced by them, and I avail myself of the first
occasion to make them this public acknowledgment.
Within a little more than a year the Government of the
UMW States, under contracts made with the Govern.
rent of Liberia, through the agency of the American
Colinozation Society, have taken into that republic four
thousand five hundred Africans, recaptured on the high
seas by vessels of our navy. They are supplied with
food, clothing, and shelter, mediciues and medical atten-
the
thus brought within the civilizing and christianizing in
fluences of a Government founded and administered by
intelligent and right-minded persons of their own race.
They are under the special charge and supervision of
o s eo=of tl.‘• th e no,. John fls, who
has been a devoted missionary in Africa for many years.
liis report, when received, will no doubt affor4 abun
dant evidence of the wisdom and philanthropy of the
policy adopted by the United States in regard to these
eittitas of a mita arid relentless ettpidity, whose
nii,forturies have thrown them upon the fostering care
and protection of the American people.
Great Britain and the United States have engaged, by
the treaty dated at Washington the 9th of AngustOtt42,
MU each ellitll prepare, tintip, and niaintein in towhee
on the coast of Africa a sufficient and iv/equate squadron
or naval force of vessels, of suitable numbers and descrip
tions, to carry in all not less than eighty guns, to enforce,
separately and respectively, the laws, rights, and obliga
tions of each of the two countries for the suppression of
the glare trade.
It crams to he the opinion of those having most expe
rience on the subject, that two or threefuststerun vessels
of-war stationed on the coast of Africa would be able (in
consequence of the light winds that usually prevail there,
and their capacity to go in any direction) to more effec
tually accomplish the object than a much larger number
of sailing ;cossets. Vesels are always selected for the
slave trade with special reference to their sailing quali
ties; and it would probably be wise to seek a modiftca
tion'of the treaty of 1842, in over to admit of some such
(huge in the chancier of the Yeetiele cpulelckl.
• But, after all, - while we must continuo to watch the
coast of Africa, the most economical and effectual mode
of preventing our citizens from engaging in the slave
trade is by preventing the fitting out of vessels in our own
meters for that purpose, and the plans now in operation
tle,vroce continue- to
It is believed that the unexpended balances of appro
priations for the suppression of the slave trade will be
sufficient to meet the requirements of the service during
the next fiscal year, and no further appropriation is
awned j Innt that fact wilt render it neCCStialy to remove
the limitation in the appropriation of March 2, 1861, as
to the compensation that may be allowed to marshals
and others who nosy be employed. Thelimitation of ten
thousand dollars was confined to the operations of ono
year, and although the whole - amount will not be pis,.
(mired for such services during the current fiscal year,
it will not, probably, be sufficient to cover the necessary
eNpenditures of that character for two years.

(emu the judigiary fund, during the
fiscal year ending. June 30, 1801, were $.707,000.61. This
includes the expenses of the courts, jurors' and witness'
fees, rent and repairs of court houses, and all other ex
penses attendant upon the administration
.of the laws
of the Federal judiciary, except the tatinfiC4 of the judgee,
district attorneys, and marshals.
The suspension of the courts in several of the Southern
States will dimiuish the expenses of the judiciary to that
extent ; but what may be gained front this cause will bo
more than counterbalanced by extraordinary expenses

• The number of convicts confined in tlic penitentiary on
the 30th September, 1851, was 158, classified as follows:
White males, 96; colored males, 64' white females, 2;
colored females, G.
one Inuitlrell and nine were natives of the UMW
States, and fort•-nine were of foreign birth,
Seventy-three convicts were received during the past
year, and seventy-four discharged—sixty-ene by the ex
piration of the term of sentence, thirteen by pardon of
the President
IiiIRAT.RiX of tho convicts aro employed is tho ntann.
facture of slve, and twoutyfive in that of brooms. Tho
others are employed in various branches of labor ne
cessary to provide for the wants of the convicts And to
keep the buildings in a proper - condition of repair avid
cleanliness.
The expenses of the penitentiary during the {teesl sear
ending June 30, 1801, were $32,741.20. Of this sum,
$9,981.40 was received from sales of the products of the
labor of the convicts, showing an excess of expenditures
over receipts of $22,753.77.
It it evhkat that a .:iahshissaLle portion of this ox_
pencehas been occasioned by improper manage rant of
the institution. This is shown by the groat difference in
the amount of the expenditures made by the present
warden and those made by his predecessor during a cor
rooming Period. The Areaeat warden entered MIMI
his duties on the 12th April, 1861. From October 1,
1860, to that time—a period of six and a half months—
there was expended for clothing, provisions, fail and
lights, and hospital stores, $13,118.50; for the same arti
cles there was expended from April 12 to October 1,
limvied or n-re and ahi moadv.-41,544.18.
Under the administration of the present warden, the
labor of the convicts has been made productive. In the
shoe manufactory, from April 12 to September 30, the
receipts were $1,963.01 more than the cost of material
and all other expenses, except the labor of this emieletg.
In the broom manufactory, for the same periods the re
ceipts exceeded the expenditures $710.73.
The income from the labor of the convicts can, doubt
vs, under pi mirnt management, be largely increased;
hut ttliPtlinr the inetilution eau he made
is a matter of mull doubt.
The board of inspectors, who are gentleuteu of ability
and experience think there are general causes for the ina
bility of the institution to sustain itself, which are not
likely to lie obviated. Their report explains in detail
their slows.
The penitentiary buildings are very badly adapted to
the purposes for which they were constructed. Circum
scribed in extent, inconveniently arranged, and illy ven
tilated, they are mucly inferior to the prisons of most of
the Statue. It can hardly he expected, however, that
Congress, in the present condition of the country, will
authorize the erection!of new buildings; but while the old
ones may be used for several years, and until the condi
tion of the treasury will better justify the expenditure
neetstatrY to tired. how 0110th the health and comfort of
the prisoners, and the convenience of nil connected with
the institution, require that an expenditure for improve
ments should he made, at least sufficient to introduce gas
end the Potomac water. This can be done at a compara
tively small cost, mud an appropriation by Congress for
that purpose is eetfuoUilY raeommondad.
I desire, in conclusion, to commend to your favorable
notice the fidelity and zeal with which the various °Ulcers
of the department have discharged the public trusts com
mitted to them. Their several reports herewith show the
extent of their labors, and exhibit a highly satisfactory
reed 7777 Uut.L. Sor the tliffBY4llt kikikil.66 . 6g or 464
