We cannot better express our own feelings,
after the perusal Of these Reports, than by
quoting The language of The National Intelli-
gencer, upon the same subject:
"The country has reason to be proud Of pub
lie officers, who can exhibit such evidences Of
devotion TO the concerns committed to their
charge, as are afforded by the Reports, which
were transmitted by the President to Congress.
We see in Them nothing but regard to the in
terest OF these important branches of the pub
lie service, in which a regard to the character
and efficiency Of each is happily blended with
considerations of economy and Of justice to
those who are engaged in the public employ
The Secretary Of War, though not long in his
presen, official employ, is well known TO his
country as faithful and consistent patriot, and
proves, by the enlarged and independent views
which he has taken, that, in the prospect Of los.
ing his services, the Nation is to undergo loss
which will no, easily be repaired.
The Report oil the Secretary Of the Navy is
document OF the most respectable character,
and highly honorable to the worthy and dis
tiuguished citizen, whose services, we a2pre-
bend, we are about 10 lose in that Department
of the Government.
1t cannot bu, be cousoling, in high degree,
to the friends Of the present Administration, TO
know, that, in the condition and history OF eve
ry department of the Government will be found,
by those who succeed to them, order, economy,
and examples Of an exclusive devotedness to
the public veal, worthy Of all imitation"
