extract from the report of the lie. j retary of war. j In the genera! condition and deposition of the army there has been no material change since the last annual report from this Department. The regular force stationed in Florida, consisting of eight regiments, and numbering, in the aggregate, by the last returns, five thousand and fifty -seven, it has been found expedient to continue in service in that Territory. A few iucursions by small detachments of our troops into the fastenesses of the en&my, by which their atrocities have been signally visited upon their own heads, have been the only exceptions to the general cessation of hostilities which took place last fall, soon after the regiments, reinforced by new recruits and provided with every necessary supply ; were prepared for active operations; nor have rondU'pH ?i nca that time. Offers illi;ctu iviiv.. v?. ?... to negotiate from several chiefs, the device by which those crafty warriors have so often baffled our arms at the period most propitious to success, were renewed under such circumstances as induced the com. manding general once more to embrace them. The strongest confidence appears to have been felt that, with the aid of a suitable amount of funds, applicable to j * that object, the whole of the hostile bands 1 might soon be persuaded to surrender, j and abandon the country. Thia line of r policy, though tardy in its results, contin. .ued to hold out such hopes of complete 1 success as to encourage the late Administrations in the belief that this protracted war had at last been brought so near a . close as to be no longer a subject of par- j ticular interest or anxiety. For these - reasons it was not thought expedient "to j check or inrerrupt the negotiations in progress on the 4th of March last, by di- i rectiog a different mode of operations.! The result so, far, since the negotiations were renewed in the fall, has been the ] aurrenderof four hundred and thirty-one Indians, including about oue hundred * '"* ?? ?- ?.11 ?- f U-m hniro konn t ffl nOHA P. nnniuis, an ui wuum uu?u >ibvu , ted to the country assigned them, west of the' Mississippi. Some expectation is ; still indulged by the officer in command [ that the remaining bands which have so ' long infested the upper and northern dis* tricUj of the peninsula will surrender in a short time; but I regret to state that but little hope can be justly cherished that * this unhappy and wasteful war, which has . already cost 4b great a number of valuable lives, and so many millions of public treasure, will be terminated without still further sacrifices. It appears that, after six . .mpnths of negotiation, no access has > been bad to the principal and roost powerful chief, or to any of his followers. Directions have accordingly been given for the most energetic and effective pro* -seoution of the war the moment further negotiations shall appear to be useless. Steps have also been taken to increase the ^efficiency of the means now at the disposal of the officer in command ; and, in the . mean time, the retrenchment of every expenditure, connected with the service, for * purposes not essential in Indian warfare, 1 bits been earnestly enjoined. The4m?ny weighty considerations-which invite the immediate attention of Congress to the subject of the public defences generally, and particularly to the works absolutely necessary to the security of our great commercial emporioums, and i the keys to our most valuable resources of every kind, must be so generally understood and appreciated that nothing this -Department can urge could add any thing ? ' ? i i rp _ to tneir torce ana conclusiveness, t u say nothing of the destruction of property, and our weakened condition in a military point of view, attendant upon the carry* ing of any of our most assailable points, the penetration of our territory and the seizure of even one of our strongholds by a powerful enemy upon the sudden out. break of war, it would seem to be equally the dictate of patriotism and wisdom to make due provision against the infliction of such insults to the national honor and character. - It has been urged as an objection to the further progress of the works hereto, fore projected for the defence of our ex. tonsive sea.coast, that the recent experi ments in the use ot steam power in ocean navigation, and the ready application of the same powerful agent to the defence of our principal harbors, together with the late inventions in the means of increa. sing the destructiveness of shells, must soon introduce an entire change in the system of coast defence, as well as of maritime war in general. It is true that the mental activity, characteristic of the age in every other art and science, has net been less fruitful in suggesting improvements in the art of war, the value of some of which has already been tested in practice, and doubtless others will, in time, prove equally successful. In no department of public affairs may the natural connexion and dependence botween all the sciences and inventions of art be more beneficially illustrated than in the improvement of the means of national defence. That the cause of humanity will - a ' 1 be promoted in proportion as tne existing systems and means of defensive warfare are perfected by new improvements, in affording to all natiQns greater security to the independent enjoyment of their . own acquisitions and forms of society and government; in putting the weak upon a more equal footing with the strong; in rendering wars less frequent, and nllowing all the arts of peace to flourish in u ninter ; terra pted vigor, cannot be doubted. It is a source of much gratification to observe t that several gentlemen of high professional distinction in the army are employing themselves in these appropriate studies. But while, in carrying forward the plans devised in former years, due regard should bad to the improvements already introduced in the means of defence, and, as fw** practicable, to such, modifications as may be rendered necessary by future dis coveries, we must take care, by the most efficient application of the means already known and approved, not to lose the advantage of present security. The array of well authenticated facts and results of past experience, and the well sustained reasoning founded upon them, exhibited in the report of the board of officers referred to in the accompanying letter of the Chief of the Corps of Engineers, appear to be conclusive in favor of completing the system of defence , therein recommended, so far, at least, as to place the country in what is denominated a good state of defensive preparations against any sudden oocurence of war. To this extent the completion of the works heretofore projected may be regarded as indispensable, however defective they may be as a perfect system of national defence. It will be seen from the estimates stated in the report alluded to, that to effect that object will require an appropriation of $9,693,447 upon the fortifications, and $2,493,000 for the armaments, making together the sum of $2,453,000 for the armaments, making togetherthe sum of $12,186,547. Theobligation of the Government to apply this rkkloota contemnlated as Ullf lu lltv w 1 speedily as the nature and due permanence of the several constructions will admit, is rendered imperative and absolute by every consideration of public safety and public honor. A practice has prevailed in the Indian Department of making payments from moneys drawn from the Treasury under appropriations by Congress, without regarding, in all cases, the objects of the appropriations as specified in the law. This practice virtually defeats that pro- 1 vision of the Constitution which declares that no money shall be drawn from the Treasury except under appropriations by Congress ; for the object of this provision must have been not merely that money i shall not be drawn from the Treasury without being duly appropriated, but that it shall be paid only for objects specified in the acts of appropriation. The practice of making payments un- ' der such circumstance?that is, of taking moneydrawn from the* Treasury under an appropriation for one object, and ap- 1 plying it to the payment of accounts, and for objects for which no appropriation has ( been made?renders the reports of the condition of the Treasury entirely fallacious, and utterly destroys alt confidence in them, The true condition of the Treasury or of itsj labilities, is not and cannot be presented under such a practice. The Indian department has favored itself in the mean9 of practising this irregu- 1 larity by another usage, directly in contravention of the law of Congress, requiring that unexpended balances of appropriations, at the expiration of two years, shall revert to the Treasury. It has been customary, before the expiration of the two years, to withdraw from the Treasury the balances not actually required for | disbursement within the specified period; < and these balances have been placed in the hands of disbursing agents, forming a very large fund, from #whjch payments have been made from time to time for objects for which no appropriations have been made by Congress. The amount 1 of funds in the hands of these special a Tents of the Department has ranged, on ' in average, from two to three hundred thousand dollars for the last seven or eight ' /ears, and this has been generally deposi- ( led in banks selected at the discretion of thh agent himself. Under these circumstances, the disburjing agent*, having received moneys under authorized heads of appropriation, which have been applied to objects not sanctioned by law. have had their accounts brought into such a condition as will not allow of their settlement at the Treasury without special appropriation by Congre>s; and hence there are disbursing agents who have been usable to obtain a settlement during several years, and whose accounts are still op* en, notwithstanding ihe act of Congress, most < salutary in its object, requiring a settlement annually on the first of October. As one irregularity is often the parent of another so, under the usage of the Indian Bu- ' reau, by which large amounts of money have been held by disbursing agents, which should have reverted to the Treasury, these agents have had the means of loaning, and have actually loaned, large sums, within the last few years, to meet the necessities of the Treasury in other department* of the Government or other and distinct branches of the Indian de. partment; and, in this manner, a system of accommodation has obtained without responsibility and unknown ?o the law. The evils of the practice, of the subject the?e remarks will sufficiently appear when it is considered that theyare precisely those which it was the object of the provision in the Constitution prescribing the mode of drawing money from the Treasury, to guard against; and those also which were intended to be counteracted by the law of Congress requiring that unexpended balance? shall revert to the Treasuryat the expiration of two years. In the present condition of tho accounts of disbursing agents, it is imppossible to ascertain the precise amount of payments requiring appropriations by Oongrnss for their final adjustment at the Treasury, but the amount is known, thus far, to exceed $'200,000, and it will probably require $250,000, ^nd possibly $300,000. It would be easy to multiply remarks upon the impropriety of this practice of the Department. The objections to it are numerous and weighty, and some of them are founded so deeply in vital prin. ciples as to deserve some further notice in this report. All officers hold their powers in trust under the obligation c f fulfilling the objects for which those powers were granted. Congress is intrusted with the power of granting money for objects to be accomplished by Executive agents. If the agents divert the moDey to the other object*, there is a breach of trust. But as all the officers of the Government are presumed to have in view the common good, . Congress, more or less, relies ujion the Executive agents to indicate the objects requiring appropriations, with estimates d of the amounts necessary for their ac- " complishment. This confidence Executive agents seem to have been regarded, in some cases, as an implied authority de in the agent to undertake objects not yet B] sanctioned by Congress, the agents look- R< ing prospectively for that sanction. But " if this discretion is to be tolerated under anypretence whatever for objects however de apparently needful er important, the *h checks and guards provided by the Con- pj stitution and the laws are at once removed and the most dangerous experiments may ?a be made with the public money, having su no higher sanction than the judgement , nf Fl?norlmanf thp ' Ol Hie ncauo vi w|>ui>iuvuif nuuc miv pa discretion thus exercised at the foantain h< is liable to become licentiousness in the ty subordinate agents, resulting in frauds ^ and defalcations of extraordinary charac. ter and magnitude. ja The attention of the Department has T been directed to the subject of Indian trea- M ties, and particularly to the manner in m which some of those recently made have tb been executed, involving the disburse* A ment of large sums of money for the emi. gration and subsistence of Indians. ^ The frauds that have been practised in the Southwest have been to some extent inquired into, but a full disclosure of ail the facts has not yet been arrived at.? Enough has, however, been brought to light to establish the conviction that certain contractors have realized the most , enormous profits, the greater portion of * which is believed to have been the direct fruit of gross fraud upon the Government or the Indians, practiced the bribing some of the subordinate instruments in the pub. ( lie employments or through the misman. agement of higher public agents, who can only screen themselves from the suspicion of a connivance in the frauds by submitting to the imputation of gross neg. ligence, ignorance or incompetency in the performance of their duty. From the involved character of these transactions and the difficulty of procuring full and precise information, it has been found impossible as yet to fix upon the point where these frauds commenced or to ascertain the boundaries of rosponsi- bility among the numerous public officers and agents through whose direct or indirect instrumentality, connivance, or igno- J ranee the contractors were able to con- A summate their unprincipled designs.? vi This investigation has been prosecuted w with the most painful reluctance, though P persevered in under a paramount sense of w - 'J an/kilfV k Kioa hpen disclosed to I F U li I V j IIIJ VI CliUU^ 11 una ww* ?? -? suggest an inquiry whether the guilta w recipients may not be compelled to re* fund their iniquitous gain to the Treasury by process of law.
