- Mr. Robert J. Walker resigned the
.Geyernorsbip of Kansas on the 15th intt.
in a letter addressed to the Secretary of
State. This letter occupies four columns
.of fioe type, and contains the reasons
which induced the resignation. Mr. Walk
er states .he accepted the appointment a-
gainst his wishes, and on the express con
dition that the Constitution bbould be
submitted to the vote of the people in a
iway to give all an opportunity to express
their opinions and to prevent fraud. The
President agreed to these points without
reservation, and the Governor shaped his
official course accordingly. Now the
President backs out, and insists upon a
dine of policy which the Governor is con
fident from bis experience in Kansas and
hi knowledge of the people there, will, if
pursued, result in civil war. The letter
i (.dispassionate and forcible, and cannot
fail to produce a deep impression on the
country. The Cabinet have resolved that
it must be answered, and the replication

Report of the Departnmts.
The reports of tho Secretaries of the
various departments of our Government,
whicb-are generally alluded toin the Pres
iuent's MeHsage, are voluminous, but in
teresting documents, furnishing compre
hensive etatemcnts of tbeir condition.
We condense their leading foatures be
low :
THE TREASURY REPORT.
The. principle facts contained in the re
port ot MrGobb, Secreary of the Treas
ury, are repeated in the President's mes
sage, iu which al-o many of its opinions
arc endorsed. The estimated expendi
lutes for the year are 874,903,058.
Actual first quarter $'23,714,523
Estimate three quarters 51,248,530
74, 903.05b
The balance in the treasury at the begin
ning of the year, July 1, was, 17,710,114
Revenue to the 30th Sept- 20,819,918
Estimated to 30th June 30,759,809
Total 75,380,933
This would leave $426,875, provided
the revenue is not over estimated, nor the
expenditure underatcd; to provide against
which contingencies and to guard the pub
lic credit, the Secretary asks for author
ity to employ .treasury notes, not to ex
ceed the sum of $20,000,000, The Cus
touis Revenue for the fir.-t quarter was
$18,573,739. The Secretary calculates
on only S33,000,000 for the remaining
nine months. Iostcad of $231,000,000 m
dutiable merchandise for tho year enter
ed for consumption, (as the first quarter
would indicate) ho looks for no more
than S174, 000,000, owing to the recent
revulsion. The Land and Miscellaneous
revenues for the year be sets down at
at S6,006,090, of which 2,356,090 was
realized the first quartir.
The public debt was reduced on the 1st
of July to S29,060,386. The Depart
ment has since purchased 3,805,232,
leaviug the amount outstanding $25,165,
154.
The department has collected anew
the Hallway Capital and debt of the
country, lhese amount in
Capital $491,435,661
Debt 517.243.664
Total $998,819,325
The annual income is reported at 48,.
406.4S8. Interest on the debt S25,093,-
203.
A large portion of the report is occu
pied in diacusMug the financial revul.iion,
which the Secretary attributes to the ex
pansion of bank currency, reckless spec
ulation and unlimited credit. He says in
cases like the present the people look to
government for help. Some demand a
protective tariff, against which Secretary
Cobb argues at length. He then op-
proves of soae method to contract bank
operations, and recommends the adop
tion of a bankrupt law to include two
classes of Corporations and Companies
particularly applicable to llailroad com
panies and Banking institutions with a
view to restrain tbeir operations within
proper limit?,'' and to secure the country
from "future wild speculations and ruin
ous revulsions.'' He recommends that
the tariff be not revved this year, eulo
gises the independent treasury system,
and alludes to v&tious affairs in his de
partment. WAR DEPARTMENT,
Secretary Floyd reports the posted
strength of the army to be 17,984 men,
the actual strength on July 1st being 15,
774 They are formed into 19, regiments
10 of infautry, 4 artillery, 2 dragoons,
2 cavalry, and 1 mounted riflemen. In
addition to the movemeuts which the
troops have been calK d on to iuae thi
year, this force is called on to garrison
68 permanent forts, aud to occupy 70
pots spread over - f abQu h QQfJ
square '
n, iies.
The Mormon difficulties are reviewed.
JJrighain Young's proclamation has nub-
stuutially declared war against the Uni
ted States; bis people refuse any sort of
.supplies to our army there, and stands
as lions iu the pathway that- leads from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Slates. The
Secretary recommends an increase of the
army by five regiments.
The Secretary alludes to defects in the
service, recommending that promotion be
made a reward of merit. Tho tone o(
the rank and file needs elevation, and the
habit of employing soldiers as day labor
ers is detrimental to the service.
In the formation of a railroad between
the Pacific and the valley of the Missis
sippi, he thiuks the route by the El Paso
will be chosen.
The sea coast defences are gradually
but certainly advancing towards comple
tion, and when finished will constitute a
system of .maritime defences formidable
in extent and of great magnitude. It is
considered that the harbor of New York
will be impregnable from any attack from
the sea when the fortificatious now in
progress are finished.
The remainder of the report is devo
ted to tho result of experiments on arms,
NAVY DEPARTMENT.
The report of Mr. Toucey is brief and
comprehensive. Most of it consists in de
tails in relation to the various squadrons,
concerning which there is little that is no
tifiable. The act of the commander ol
the Roanoke in bringing home the rem
nants of Walker's army from Aspinwall,
without order, is justified by tho Secr ta
ry on the score of its bei ng an "act of hu
manity." An appropriation of $1,376.
16 is recommended to pay for their cloth
ing, medicine, &c, while on shipboard.
The Secretary recommends that the Gov
ernment pay the Panama Railroad S7,-
475 for transporting Walker's men across
tho Isthmus, after their capitulation,
though the Railroad company .exoner
ates Capt. Merwin from any personal re
sponsibility. Allusion is made to the increase of the
force in the China. sas on account .of the
hostilities between JBnglacd &adth,at

The policy of changing the old system
of three years' cruises to two years has
been adapted. The five new steam sloops
of-war authorized by the last Congress
are to be immediately constructed, and

for special purposes.
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
This report is a long compilation of de
tails in relation to his department. There
is little in it of a novel character. Ihe
number of post offices is 27,148. On the
30th of June last, 7,888 mail routes were
iu operation, with an aggregate length of
242,601 miles; of which 22,530 miles
were by railroad, 15-245 by steamboats,
and 49,329 by coach. The total annua
transportation of mails was 74,906,067
costing $6,22,046. The cost of trans
portation was relatively as follows: By
railroad, ten cents and five mills per mile;
by steamboat, twenty-two cents a mile;
by coacb, seven cents and four mills a
mile. The length of railroad routes has
been increased by 294 miles. The num
ber of mail contractors is 6,576. Com
pared with the service. last year, there ap
pears, a decreaebf"794 miles in the length
of routes, and 823,034 miles in the an
nual trau-portation, while tho cost is iu-
crea-ed 6120,034.
Ihe estimates for 1853 are as follows:
Expenditures, S12,063,2 17; Revenue,
f 10.584,074; leaving the sum of SI, 469,-
13 to be appropriated by Congress to
defray the expenditures of the coming
year.
The ocean mail service is discussed at

ted by -the Collins line during the year,
were fc.10,463,03; previous year, $461,-

An elaborate taoular statement is furnish
ed, showiug excess, to tho British post
age collected in this couutry, of 5193,287
last )ear; a result disadvantageous to the
department. The cause lies in the fact
that nearly two-thirds of the trans-Atlantic
mails have been conveyed by the Cu
nard line, the Brittish Government there
by receiving nearly four-fifths of the post
age. Negotiations for a radical change
arc pending.
The Bubject of the adoption of a plan
of money orders, drawn by postmasters,
is urged upon the attention of Congress,
with an allusion to former proceedings.
Ihe subject of the frequent failure of
the Southern mail is commented on, and
as a remedy the closing of a contract with
the Florida Railroad Company is recom
mended, whereby one party instead, of
sixteen becomes the contractor, the maili
to be couvejed fiom New Orleaus to Neio
York by sea in five days an arrangement
which, the Postmaster General thinks, will
obviate not only the delays that attend
land carriage, but will tepd also to pre
vent robberies and losses. Various other
mail routes are alluded to, especially that
overland to California, with which most
per&ous are familiar.
INTERIOR DEPTRTMENT.

ditures, $2,526. Of the expenditures
$27,939 were made up of fees restored to
applicants after the examination of their

tire, and argues the necessity of making
the bureau self-sustaining.
A Diabolical Young Scoundrel.
A singular affair is related in in a Sile-
sian journal. Five little children belong
ing to. tradesmen in Bolkeubayn, in that
country, went a few days ago to play in
a garden, and were joined by a boy of
eleven, who always had been noted tor per
versitv of disposition. After a while tbeir
parents sought for them, but to their as
tonishmetit. found they had disappeared.
After looking a long while they found
them lying piled one.on another in a large
wooden chest in a shed in the garden.
Four were dead, and the fifth', though
still breathing, was in so desperate a state
that be died shortly alter. J he lad re-
lereu to was men questioned, anu ne
calmly related, the astounding fact that
he had persuaded the children to cuter
into the chest in play had then slammed
down the lid and seated himself on it, re-
mainingtherc for 3 quartcrsof an hourli.t-
eiung to their cries and groans. He then
raised the lid to see if they were dead,
and finding they were not so, ho fastened
it bv means of a -hasp after which he
went off to fly bis kite. Ihe little mon-
tcr has been arrested.
A Bloody River.
The Cincinnati papers say the deati ac
tion of porkers iu tho Queen City about
these days is prodigious. Oceans of
blood flow down Doer Creek, and mingle
their crimson hues with the muddy slime
of a rising river. At tho Cincinnati
-laughter house alone, no less than thirtii
thousand one hundred and seventy five fat
corn-fed hogs, chiefly from Kentucky and
Indianna, have been slaughtered in sev
enteen working days! Thatls just 1,764
hogs per day!
The Richest Man In the World.
The Marquis of Westminster, according
to a late estimato, is the richest man in
England. Ho is worth 150 million dol-
ars, and his annual income is three mil
ion and a half dollars. His ancestors
owned large traots in Westminster, which
are now occupied by a valuable portion
of London.
George Washington Parke Custis the
adopted son of the Father of his Country,

A majority of the members of the Le
oompton Convention were not citizens of
Kansas. A company of them were at St.
Loui, a few days ago, on their way to
their respective. homes, where they intend
to remain. Tbey belong in sixteen dif
ferentstates. They complained oftreacb
cry on the part of Douglas, affirming that
he was in correspondence with them all
through tho session, and assured them of
his support.
Pennsylvania gets for her coal, during
the panic year of 1857, at least seventeen
millions of dollars. If wo were to takv
the price paid for it when it roaches mar
ket, we should have an aggregate of thirty-four
million of dollars. Tho Califor
nia gold mines do no better than this,
and are really not so valuable as agents
for furnishing the industry of the State
with lucrative employment, and promo
ting tho general welfare and the develop
ment of the State resources.
Buried with $160 in Gold.
The body of a drowned man, in a state
of decomposition, was found in the Mor

prior to its burial. A day or two sipec;,
the widow of the deceosed came from Ill

$160 in gold, about tho woist.

The circulation of thcNEW YORKLED -GER
is now Three Hundred and Thirty
Thousand Copies, which is greater than that

The profits on this
unparalleled . . circula

to expend sums upon it
which would soon
Kwanip any ordinary
publication.
A paper with a cir

dred thousand or so
would sink under the
expenses of THE LED

months.
