REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
THE NA VY.
This report enters in a detailed statements
of the movements of ^he various squadrons
on the Home, Pacific, Mediterranean,
Brazil, African, Etit India and Chinese
Stations.
The history of the intervention of the
sloop-of-war 8£ Mary's in the Nicaraguan
affairs is given. Commodore Neuvine sent
Commander Davis with this sloop to San
Juan Del Sur, with instructions to protect
the persons and property of American citi-
zens. With these instructions only, says
Mr. Toucey, the secretary—
Commandor Davis negotiated with Gen.
Walker's terms of capitulation, under which
he surrendered with his men, and was con-
veyed to Panama, whence he proceeded to
the United States. ' Gommander Davis also
received from General Walker the surrender
of a small schooner which he had detained,
called the Granada, and delivered her to
the Nicaraguan authorities. The action of
of Commander Davis, so far as he aided
Gen. Walker and his men, by the use of the
St. Mary's, to retreat from Nicaragua and
return to the United States, was approved
by the Department; but his interference
with the Granada, and her transfer to the
Nicaraguan authorities, by his interven-
tion, was not approved. The whole num-
ber of men surrendered and carried to
Panama was about 364.
Commodore Marvin sent them by rail-
road to Aspinwall, and drew on the depart-
ment, in favor of the railroad company,
for $7,475, for the transportation. The
draft has neither, been paid, accepted, or
protested, though the Secretary recommends
a reasonable appropriation to pay the ex-
pense. —
The misunderstanding between England
and China rendered an increase of our
force in the Chinese seas important, and
the steam frigates Minnesota and Missis-
sippi, and the sloop-of-war German town
were despatched to that place.
The cruise of the ordnance ship Ply-
mouth was entirely satisfactory, and the
results of the experiments with heavy ord-
nance gratifying. That class of guns will
be placed in the frigates recently built.
Reference is made to the survey of the
Atrato and Turando rivers, and the com-
plete-exploration of Panama and the tribu-
laries of the Paraguay. The recent action
of the government of Paraguay in forbid-
ding foreign armed vessels to navigate its
waters may create some difficulty, but the
field.of this exploration is wide.
The Naval Academy at Anapolis is in a
flourishing condition. There are now at-
tached to it for the purposes of instruction
176 acting midshipmen. Theire were 15
graduates the last academic year, and
have been admitted.
The estimates for the support' of the
navy and marine corps, and all other ob-
jects under the control of the Navy Depart-
ment for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1859, are—

The receipts fbr the first quarter of the
cerreat fiscal year, begining July 1,1857,

during-the arte remaining quarters are
$36,750,000, which added to the balance

The acgngatc means for the service of
th«JniUyeer to June 80,1857, is estimated
at $VK$26,875; and the aggregate estimated

fmiliM should be mage to meet the an-
ticipated want of means in the treasury
very soon. Outside statements show that
. ft u«s is now only about fire millions at the
omnaid et the government, and that the
ii if USUI m is reach a million and a half per
week wfcB the increase is only about six
hundred thoussnd dollars. The Secretary
regards the want of means • ss temporary
and thinks the ]«ovision for relief should
heafn temporary character. He recom-
mends the issuance of treasury notes bear-
a low rate ef intsfssl and receivable for
government dues, and also renewable at the
request of the holder.

The aggregate estimates of the fiscal
year ending .Jjrne, 1858, were $13,803,212
77c, being $813,085 less than the present
estimates. This difference is principally
caused by estimating $250,000 for the ar-
mament for the five new sloops, $350,000
more than last year for building the sloops,
and by estimating for provisions and pay
for one thousand additional men authorized
by the act of March 3, 1857.
The expenditures for the year ending
June 30, 1857, for all purposes under the
control,of the Department, were $12,632,696
81c. Of which $4,343,698 14 being for
special objects, the legitimate expenses of
the navy and marine corps for that period
were $8,288,998 67.
REPORT OF TEE SECRETARY OF
WAR.
This report, shojring the operations of the
Army for the past year, is full of interest,
and we wish we had room for a more ex-
tended notice of it, than we shall be able to
make.
i " . \
The Army consists of nineteen regiments,
including ten of infantry, four of artillery,
two<of dragoons, two of cavalry, and one of
mounted riflemen. The whole- force is
17,984 men. This force garrisons sixty-
eight forts ofa large and permanent charc-
ter, and many other temporary posts. An
increase of four regiments is recommended
to aid in operations upon the frontiers, at
least one of which we hope may be mounted
rangers.
The history of the birth, growth and
present condition of the Mormons is given
at length, and especial pains is taken to
show the sending of the soldiers to this city
now is not to act on the offensive, but merely
to sustain the civil authority. The com-
manding officer was strictly charged to let
no conflicts take place between the troops
and the people of Utah, except only when
he should be called upon by the Governor
for soldiers to act as a potte comiUitus.
Several important changes in the internal
arrangements of the Army are recommended,
such as the practical abolishment of the
brevet* by promoting those holding them to
offices for which they are brevetted, and
making all army officers having moneyed
accountability amenable to military tribu-
nals, whether their office be strictly military
or not.
The best route for the Pacific Railroad,
the Secretary thinks there can be no doubt,
is that of El Paso to the Colorado, better
known as the great Southern route. " The
grades are lower,' the climate milder, and
water is plentiful."
A (military road, 520 miles in length, is
being made from Fort Defiance to the Colo-
rado river.
The camels have proved well adapted to
the climate, and have answered the purpo-
ses for which they were purchased.
The Artesian well party under Captain
Pope, on the route from San Antonio to El
Paso, have achieved satisfactory success.
A national foundry is recommended.
Also, thai army pensions be puton the same
footing with those of the naval service.
The yassnt rWulaion ig traced to the ei-
. pension of the credit system and the single
fact is reteied to that the- combined cap-
ital of t|ABaaroad companies in the United
tote* amount to $491,435,661, whole

REPORT OF TUB POST MASTER
GENERAL.
We give a brief abstract of this report.
There have beCn during the last fiscal year
1725 post office* established and 704 discon-
tinued. Increase, 1021. The whole num-
ber of postmasters appointed during the
year has been 8680 of which 4767 were to
fill vacancies occasioned by resignation,
1681 by removal, 288 by death, 269 by
change of name, and site and 1725 by the
establishment of new post offices. Whole
number of offices now, is 27,14f, of
whicli 368 are presidential, that is post-
masters appointed by the president ami
Senate, which are commissioned for four
years from date of confirmation, all others
are unlimited.
On the 30th of June hist there was in op-
peration 78W mail routes. The number of
contractors was 6576. The length of these
routes is estimated at 242,601 miles, divid-
ed as follows, viz:—Railroad 22,530 miles;
steamboat 15,245miles; coach49,329miles;
inferior grades 155,497 miles. The total
annual transportation of mails was 74,906,
067 miles/ costing $6,622,046.
Compared with the service reported on
the 30th, of 1856, there is an addition of
2959 miles to the length of mail routes; 3,-
598,170 miles to the total annual transpor-
tation—being about 5 per cent; and of
$586,572 to the cost, or 9 7-10 per cent .
In the New England States, during the
past year, the coach transportation was
slightly decreased, but the cost increased
$11,264—the airount allowed by congress
to a failing contractor.
The expenditures of the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1857, including payments to let-
ter carriers and for foreign postages,
amounted to $11,508,027 93,_ of which $2
285,609 86 was compensation to postmast-
ers.
The gross revenue for the year 1857, in-
cluding receipts from letter carriers and
from foreign postages, amounted to $7,353,-
95176, of which letter postage was $983,-
207,24 and stamps sold $5,447,764 51. But
if to the sum above stated be added the
permanent annual appropriations made by
the acts of March 3, 1857, and March 3,
1851, in compensation for services rendered
to the government in the transportation and
delivery of franked matter, the whole rev-
enue of the year will be $8,053,95J 76, be-
ing $3,453,718 40 less than the expendi
tures. .
The estimated expenditures for the next
year, are $12,053,247. The estimated rev-
enue will be 7,795,188. There is to the
credit of the department in the treasury
$3,788,986 and consequently an additional
appropriation of $1,469,173 will be re-
quired.
The Post Master General gives an inter
esting account oi ocean mail lines &c.
The arrangements for delivery of letters in
large cities, and the provisions for greater
safety in transmission of mails over rail-
road routes. The New- Orleans and New
York route claims a good share of attention,
also the service on the Mississippi below
the Ohio and the overland route to Califor
nia. Mr. Brown thinks the route from
western Texas, "poor as it is in many re-
spects, presents more advantages for a
great national highway than any other yet
discovered "
The report is clear, lucid and accurate.
We regard Gov. Brown as one of the best
officers we have ever had in that department.
His ready attention to the wants of the
South West, and his endeavor to accommo-
date the people here, evidences a correct
view of things and a disposition to equalize
the advantages of our postal system to the
accommodation of the people. The new
routes established by him through Texas,
as published by us some days ago, will in-
sure to him the gratitude of all Texans.—
We trust nothing may prevent him intro-
ducing all the reforms in. the service he
contemplates.
TEE CONSTITUTION OF KANSAS.
The Washington Union gives the Consti-
tution of Kansas in full. We can afford roomi
but a sketch of it.
It opens with an ordinance, setting forth
how the public lands shall be set apart for
education to the extent of four sections in
each township, that the mines and salt licks
should be granted to the State, that 5 per
centum of the nett proceeds of the sales of
public lands Within the State shall be, given
to it, setting apart alternate sections upon
the line of a railroad running towards die
Gulf of Mexico, &c.
Next comes the preamble and two sec-
tions defining boundaries.
These are followed by the Executive de-
partment. The governor is to hold office
for two years; he must be thirty years of
age, twenty years a citizen of the United
States, five years a resident of the State,
and cannot hold office more t>' ' four years
out of six. The other pro^iKte are of the
ordinary character, havin^^Jffence to the
governor's powers and dii „-s, the creation
of a lieutenant-governor, sheriffs, coroners,
State treasurer, &c.
The-Legislative department comes next,
embracing twenty-five sections. Members
of the House of Representatives hold office
two years, and those of the Senate four.
There are fifteen Senatorial,' and twenty
Representative districts, having 19 Senators
and 44 Representatives.
The Judiciary department follows, in
twenty-three sections. Provision is made
for one supreme court, circuit courts, chan-
cery courts, courts of p.-obate, and justices
of the peace, and the legislature may estab-
lish others.
The Slavery clause follows in four lec-
tions. This is the clause to be submitted to
the people last monday, 21st inst, and'iwe
give it in full: i
Sec. 1. The right of property is beftre
and higher than any constitutional sanction,
and the right of an owner of a slave to stch
slave and its increase, is the .same and las
inviolable as the right of the owner of any
property whatever.
Sec. 2. The Legislature shall have no
power to pass laws for the emancipation of
slaves -without the consent of the owners, or
without paying the owners previous to ^ieir
emancipation a full equivalent in money ftr
the slaves so emancipated. They shsil
have no power to prevent emigrants to tie
State from bringing with them such persons
ai are deemed slaves by the laws of any one
o" the United States or Territories, so long
as any person of the same age or descrip-
tion shall be continued in slavery by the
laws of the State; provided that such per-
son or slave be the bona fide property of
such, emigrants; and provided, also, that
laws may be passed to prohibit the intro-
duction into this State of slaves who have
committed high crimes in other States or
Territories. They shall have power to past
laws to.permit the owners of slaves to eman.
cipate them, saving the rights of creditors,
and preventing them from becoming a pub-
lic charge. They shall have power to
oblige the owners of slaves to treat them
with humanity, to provide for them neces-
sary food and clothing, to abstain from 'al^
injuries to them, extending to life or limb
and in case of their neglect or refusal tcj
comply with the direction of such laws, ta!
have such slave or slaves sold /or the bene-{
fit of the.owner or owners.
Sec. 3.'In the prosecution of slaves for
crimes of higher grade than petit larceny
the Legislature shall have no power to de-
prive them of an impartial trial by a petit
jury. ;'i~
Sec. 4. Any person who shall maliciously
dismember or deprive a slave of life shall
suffer such punishment as would be inflicted
in case the like offense had been committed
on a free white person, and on the like
proof, except in case of insurrection of such,
slave.
Elections and suffrage follow, in nine
sections, citizenship being confined to white
males over 21 years of age.
Finance takes up eight sections. The
State may not contract debt of over five
hundred thousand dollars.
Revenue occupies eight Sections. All
revenue bills must originate in the House.
The Legislature may levy an income tax,
must levy a tax of ten cents on the hun-
dred dollars on all railroad incomes proceed-
ing from gifts of public lands. Lotteries
as a source of revenue for the State are pro-
hibited.
Marital rights in property are provided
for as follows:
All property, both real and personal, of
the wife owned or claimed by marriage,
and that acquired afterwards by gift, de-
vise or descent, shall be her separate pro-
perty ; and laws shall be passed more
clearly defining the rights of the wife, in
relation as well as to her separate property
as to that held in common with her hus-
band. Laws shall also be pushed providing
for the registration of the wile .- separate
property.
lianks of deposite and exchange may be
incorporated, but they shall issue no bills,
note*, checks, or other paper as money,
but sectious 6, and 7, goes on to say:
•Sec. 5. The Legislature may incorporate
one bank ol' discount and issue, with not
more than two branches, provided that the
act incorporating the said bank and
.branches thereof shall not take effect until
it shall be submitted to the people at the
general election next succeeding the passage
of the same, and shall have been approved
by a majority of all electors voting at such
elections.'
Sec. 6. The said bank and branches shall
be mutually liable for each other's debts or
liabilities for all paper, credits, or bills
issued representing money ; and the stock-
holders in said bank or branches shall be
individually responsible to an amount equal
to the stock held by them for all debts or
liabilities of said bank or branches, and no
law shall be passed sanctii ning, directly
or indirectly, the suspension by said bank
or its branches of spccie payment.
Sec. 7. The State shall not be a stock-
holder in any bank, nor shall the credit of
the State be given or loaned in aid of any
person, association, or incorporation; nor
shall the State become a stockholder in any
corposation or association.
Education shall be further encouraged.
The declaration of rights follows, which
has but few peculiarities. Free negroes
shall not be prohibited from residing in the
State.
The "Schedule" goes on to provide for
the submission of the slavery clause to the
people, whether they will have the consti-
tution with slavery or without slavery. If
without slavery, it is declared that •« the
article providing for slavery (the four sec-
tions above quoted) shall be stricken from
the constitution, and slavery shall no longer
exist in Kansas." But then it i9 imme-
diately added " except that the rights of
property in slaves now in this Territory
shall in no manner be interfered with."

ysed your Booth fc Sedgwick's Medicated London

ents usually found in the best kinds of Gin, but also
other vegetal le matter which renders it more medi-
cinal and wholesome than the articles generally
sold under the name of Gin.

Founded 1838.
OPENED THROUGHOUT THE TEAS.
THIS Establishment ls Intended mainly
for Adults—Ladles and Gentlemen, and
.Youths, whose time is very valuable,and
it is so arranged that persons.who wish to learn
the English, French, Spanish, German or Italian
Languages: or Penmanship, Book-Keeping, Math-
ematics, Phonography, eto., in a practical manner,
as used In business and every day life, can do so
in the shortest possible time, as there are special
Professors and apartments for each branch.
None bnt the best and most experienced Profes-
sors and Assistants will ever be engaged. There
are nine apartments—a Reception Boom elegantly
fitted up for visitors, so that pupils are never inter-
rupted In their lessons; and an apartment for the
popils of each Professor; and also,practicing rooms
so that pupils taking the fuU coarse in any one o '
these branches, canhave ten hours' practice each
day.
All branches are taught as they should be prac-
ticed la bosihess and every day life. The English,
French, German and Spaniah are now the eoanssr-
cial languages of the world, and the social, litarary
and scientific languages of the greater part of Eu-
rope and America, are daily beooming more impor-
tant to all penohs. Pupils will be exercised In
Beading. Writing and speaking any language they
may wish to learn.
If/* Board can be had with femllies speaking any
of tnese lugugei.
No institution in the United States offers so great
facilities for the acquisition of the living tannag-
es and a practical education as this. From 300 to
400 attend it annually.
These and other modern languages will be trans-
lated at this institution.
No pain or expense will be spared to make all the
departments worthy of the confidence of the pub*
ic.
Twenty or thirty young men will be qualified as
Teachers of my system or Penmanship. They will
act as agents for my New Work on
and superior Steel pens. Young men —Va from
$100 to $30") per month, when qualified to teach
Bad iting will be no objection to applicants, as
this li soon be corrected. Energy and industry
are needed. There is work enough for hundreds
in the United States; and besides, Mexico Cuba and
South America could employ as many more.
Time required to qualify Teachers, from five to
eight weeks. Ordinary course in Penmanship from
one three weeks. Book-keeping, double and
ngle entry, from foar to eight weeks; single en
ry alone; from one tolhree woeks. Langdkges,
from three to four months. Phonography from two
ofonr weeks.
TT~PPlanters and country merchants can be able
to keep their own books correctly, and understand
any books in a few lessons-
It is the only Institution in the United States
wheri persons advanced in life can, In prints
apartments, with a special profetaor, perfect them-
selves in any branch they may desire.
Daring the present year persons have attended
from Lousiana,Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Cal-
ifornia, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia, Maryland, Sooth Carolina, Missouri, Illi-
nois, Ohio. Michigan, New York, Mexico and Cuba.
And the application for tha ensuing fall are large
er than any previous season.
It depends entirely on Its own merits for support
andwhil' many institutions in the South. MbenUy

sontinu to Increase. It is the interest as well as
the duty of all persons identified with the Bouth to
