EXTRACT PBOM THE REPORT OP THE ISC* < RET ART OF WAR. < In the genera! condition and deposition j of the army there has been no material i change since the last annual report from this Department. The regular force ita- i tioned in Florida, consisting of eight reg* \ imente, and numbering, in the aggregate, I by the last returns, five thousand and fifty < seven, it has been found expedient to i continue in service in that Territory. ] A few iucursions by small detachments i of our troops into the fastenesses of the en* I fcimy, by which their atrocities have been i signally visited upon their own heads, ? have been the only exceptions to the gen* i eral cessation of hostilities which took ' place last fall, soon after the regiments, ] reinforced by new recruits and provided i with *vorv nprpeoarv Siinnlv ? wnr* r>re. ? ",lu ?"?"/ J ?rrv i i pared for active operations; nor have < they been renewed since that time. Offers i to negotiate from several chiefs, the device t by which those crafty warriors have so j often baffled our arms at the period most i propitious to success, were renewed under i such circumstances as induced the com. 4 manding general once more to embrace js them. The strongest confidence appears 1 to have been felt that, with the aid of a f suitable amount of funds, applicable to s * that object, the whole of the hostile bands ' i ' might soon be persuaded to surrender, a and abandon the country. This line of b . policy, though tardy in its results, contin. p . ued to hold out such hopes of complete 1 success as to encourage the late Adminis. I trations in the belief that this protracted n . war had at last been brought so near a a . close as to be no longer a subject of par- J g ticular interest or anxiety. For these a - reasons it was not thought expedient to nknnl/ a. in.n..nnf tlno naitntlahnna in V Vlltvn VI lllpb ?1IV UVgVllUt'VUO U * ..progress ?n the 4th of March last, by di- tl rectiog a different mode of operations. 1 The result so, far, since the negotiations C were renewed in the fall, has been the J n surrender of four hundred and thirty-one j si Indians, including about oue hundred w warriors, all of whom have been transpor-! it ted to the country assigned them, west of if the Mississippi. Some expectation is still indulged by the officer in command d that the remaining bands which have so rt ' Jong infested the upper and northern dis- ai tricts of the peninsula will surrender in a pi short time; but I regret to state that but ft little hope can be justly cherished that b this unhappy and wasteful war, which has c< . already cost great a number of valuable ic lives, and so many millions of public trea- ii sure, will be terminated without still furth- si er sacrifices. It appears that, after six b . .months of negotiation, no access has > been had to the principal and most pow- s< erful chief, or to any of his followers, k Directions have accordingly been given ti for the most energetic and effective pro- ii - secution of the war the moment further a negotiations shall appear to be useless, si Steps have also been taken to increase the c ^ efficiency of the means now at the disposal t of the officer in command; and, in the r , mean time, the retrenchment of every ex- d penditure, connected with the service, for a * purposes not essential in Indian warfare, tl ' b#s been earnestly enjoined. v The4m?ny weighty considerations-which b invite the immediate attention of Con- ol press to the subject of the Duhlic defences b< c j r " generally, and particularly to the works ol absolutely necessary to the security of gi our great commercial emporioums, and ai the keys to our most valuable resources tf of every kind, must be so generally under- yi stood and appreciated that nothing this le ^Department can urge could add any thing to their force and conclusiveness. To say nothing of the destruction of property, si and our weakened condition in a military di point of view, attendant upon the carry- w ing of any of our most assailable points, the penetration of our territory and the seizure of even one of our strongholds by 0 i 01 a powerful enemy upon the sudden out- ( break of war, it would seem to be equally 5, the dictate of patriotism and wisdom to make due provision against the infliction ei of such insults to the national honor and ** character. ai It has been urged as an objection to the further progress of the works hereto. r? fore projected for the defence of our ex tonsive sea-coast, that the recent expert- j h; ments in the use of steam power in ocean ' h; navigation, and the ready application of tu the same powerful agent to the defence of our principal harbors, together with jjj the late inventions in the means of increa. , Uc sing the destructiveness of shells, must a) soon introduce an entire change in the gi system of coast defence, as well as of maritime war in general. It is true that re the mental activity, characteristic of the 8,( age in every other art and science, has * net been less fruitful in suggesting im- fr provements in the art of war, the value aj of some of which has already been tested I tn in practice, and doubtless others will, in p< time, prove equally successful. In node- tl partment of public affairs may the natural connexion and dependence botween all 0 the sciences and inventions of art be more a beneficially illustrated than in the im- r( provement of the means of national de- ^ fence. That the cause of humanity will b be promoted in proportion as the existing j e systems and means of defensive warfare j *1 * ?.] i : fl are pcrrecreu u\ new improvements, in w affording to all nations greater security to the independent enjoyment of their u . own acquisitions and forms of society and government; in putting the weak upon a a moreequal footing with the strong; in | ^ rendering wars lessfrequent, and allowing j p all the arts of peace to flourish in uninter- " ' terrupted vigor, cannot be doubted. It is a source of much gratification to observe u that several gentlemen of high profession- J( al distinction in the army are employing * themselves in these appropriate studies, g But while, in carrying forward the plans P devised in former years, due regard should a be had to the improvements already in- J( trodufced in the means of defence, and, as 1 fax as practicable, to such modifications as s may be rendered nocessary by future dis- ^ overies, we must take care, by the roost ] fficient application of the means already i mown and approved, not to lqpe the ad- c antage of present security. c The array of well authenticated facts t nd results of past experience, and tbe i roll sustained reasoning founded upon i hem* exhibited in the report of the board s f officers referred to in the accompany- i rig letter of the Chief of the Corps of i Engineers, appear to* be conclusive in fa- ? or of completing the system of defence ,a herein recommended, so far, at least, as c 0 place the country in what is denomin- s ted a goo*/state of defensive preparations i gainst any sudden oocurence of war. t ?o this extent the completion of the works r leretofore projected may be regarded as c idispensable, howevsr defective they < aay be as a perfect system of national i efence. It will be seen from the esti- s nates stated in the report alluded to, that s 1 effect that object will require an ap- t ropriation of $9,693,447 upon the fortications, and 82,493,000 for the arma- I ient9, making together the sum of82,- t 53,000 for the armaments, making to- * ether the sum of 812,186,547. Theob- h gation of the Government to apply this r jm to the objects contemplated as ? >eedily as the nature and due permaence of the several constructions will t Jmit, is rendered imperative and absolute i y every consideration of public safety and t iblic honor. I A practice has prevailed in the Indian li epartment of making payments from c oneys drawn from the Treasury under < ipropriations by Congress, without re- * irding, in all cases, the objects of the f ipropriations as specified in the law. o This practice virtually defeats that pro- o sion of the Constitution which declares h at no money shall be drawn from the a reasury except under appropriations by c ongress ; for the object of this provision p ust have been not merely that money s< lall not be drawn from the Treasury li ithout being duly appropriated, but that t shall be paid only for objects specified the acts of appropriation. ti The practice of making payments un- ri t such circumstance?that is, of taking b oney drawn from the4 Treasury under tl i appropriation for one object, and ap- o ying it to the payment of accounts, and b r objects for which no appropriation has a sen made?renders the reports of. the r< mdition of the Treasury entirely fallac- r us, and utterly destroys all confidence s them. The true condition of the Trea- 1 iry or of itsjiabilities, is not and cannot v ; presented under such a practice. P The Indian department has favored it- d If in the means of practising this irregu- a rity by another usage, directly in con- ri avention of the law of Congress, requir- A g that unexpended balances of appropri- b ions, at the expiration of two years, ia.ll revert to the Treasury. It has been istomary, before the expiration of the ro years, to withdraw from the Treasur the balances not actually required for p sburseraent within the specified period; o id these balances have been placed in fi e hands of disbursing agents, forming a sry large fund, from 'which payments ive been made from time to time for ijects for which no appropriations have en made by Congress. The amount funds in the hands of these special aints of the Department has ranged, on T i average, from two to three hundred ousand dollars for the last seven or eight 01 :ars, and this has been generally deposid in banks selected at the discretion of h agent himself. T Under these circumstances, the disbur- ^ lg agents, having received moneys un:r authorized heads of appropriation, tj hich have been applied to objects not nctioned by law. have had their accounts T ought into such a condition as will not al? iv of their settlement, at the Treasury with. 0 t special appropriation by Congre.-s; and nee there are disbursing agents who have * en usable to obtain a settlement during veral years, and whose accounts are still op* 01 , notwithstanding the act of Congress, most lutary in its object, requiring a settlement nually on the first of October. S As one irregularity is often the parent of other so, under the usage of the I ndian Bu- d< au, by which large amounts of money have en held by disbursing agents, which should T ve reverted to the Treasury, these agents ve had the means of loaning, and have acally loaned, large sums, within the last few 01 ars, to meet the necessities of the Treasury _ ? ?J other department* of the Government or ? lier and distinct branches of the Indian de. rtment; and, in this manner, a system of comuiodation has obtained without respon- tj Mlity and unknown ?o the iaw. The evils of the practice, of the subject these t| narks will sufficiently appear when it is con. lered that theyare precisely those which it 1 is the object of the provision in the Conslitu?n prescribing the mode of drawing money 1 >m the Treasury, to guard against; and those io which were intended to be counteracted o the law of Congress requiring that unexnded balances shall revert to the Treasuryat ~ e expiration of two years. ^ In the present condition of the accounts disbursing agents, it is imppossible to j icertain the precise amount of payments quiring appropriations by Congrnss for 1 eir final adjustment at the Treasury, :t the amount is known, thus far, to * cceed 8200.000, and it will probably re- el lire 8250,000, and possibly $300,- t< 10. P It would be easy to multiply remarks )on the impropriety of this practice of 8| e Department. The objections to it e numerous and weighty, and some of w iem are founded so deeply in vital prin- n pies as to deserve some further notice t| this report. a All officers hold their powers in trust l< nder the obligation c f fulfilling the ob- l' cts for which those powers were granted, ongress is intrusted with the power of ranting money for objects to be accomlished by Executive agents. If the . jents divert the money to the other obets, there is a breach of trust. But as all 1 te officers of the Government are pre- 8j imed to have in view the common good, h toagress, more or less, relies ujion the i1 Executive agents to indicate the objects equiring appropriation!- with estimates if the amounts necessary for their at* :omplishraent. This confidence Ex ecuive agents seem to have been regarded, n some cases, as an implied authority n the agent to undertake objects not yet auctioned by Congr<?i, the agents look, ng prospectively for that sanction. But f this discretion is to tie tolerated under mypretence whatever for objects however ipparently needful ?r important, the :hecks and guards provided by the Con* ititution and the laws are at once removed ind the most dangerous experiments may e made with the pubi c money, having 10 higher sanction than the judgement if the Heads of Depa? tment, while the Jiscrttion thus exercised at the foantain s liable to become licentiousness in the lubordinate agents, resulting in fraud! md defalcations of ext 'aordinarv charac* er and magnitude. Ths attention of the Department haii >een directed to the subject oflndian treaies. and particularly to the manner in vhich some of these recently made have ecn executed, involving the disbursenent of large sums of money for the emi. ,'ration and subsistence of Indians. The frauds that have been practised ill he Southwest have been to some extent nquired into, but a full disclosure of all he facts has not yet been arrived at.?Enough has, however, been brought to ight to establish the conviction that ertain contractors have realized the most enormous profits, the greater portion of rhich is believed to have been the direct ruit of gross fraud upon the Government r the Indians, practiced the bribing some f the subordinate instruments in the pubc employments or through the mismangement of higher public agents, who an only screen themselves from thesusicion of a connivance in the frauds by ubmitting to the imputation of gross neggence, ignorance or incorapetancy in he performance of their duty. From the involved character of these ran.sactions and the difficulty of procuing full and precise information, it has een found impossible as yet to fix upon he point where these frauds commenced r to ascertain the boundaries of rosponsiility among the numerous public officers nd agents through whose direct or indiect inatrnmentalky, connivance, or ignoance the contractors were able to conummate their unprincipled designs.? ?his investigation has been prosecuted nth the most painful reluctance, though ersevered in under a paramount sense of luty; and enough has been disclosed to uggest an inquiry whether the guilts ecipients may not be compelled to re nd their iniquitous gain to the Treasury >y process of law. All of which is respectfully submitted. JOHN BELL. To the President. [The documents accampanying this rtort are necessarily omitted here for wart f room.] HEAD QUARTERS. CLARENDON, June 4, 1841.

As a general remdey for these diseases, I am fully satisfied from Balsam of Liverwort. Being purely vegetable, it can bo used with the utmost safety by all persons in every condition. It cleanses the lungs by expectoration, relieves difficult breathing, and seems to heal the chest. There can be no question, but this medicine is a certain cure for chronic coughs and colds. I have used it for four years in my practice, and always with success. A. F. ROGERS, M. D. Consumption! The following remarks were taken from the last number of the Medical Mag. azine.* "Thesurprising'effect produced by Dr. Taylors Balsam of Liverwort, in consumptive cases, cannot fail excitirg a deep and thrilling interest i ? i i: J throughout the wona. we nave ?o long uBim?ni this diseaso (consumption] incurable, that it is i difficult to credit our senses when we see persons ' evidently consumptive, restored to health.
