REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
Tor Depa,ta,eut. Non. 30. 1885

Wdr Department, .Nou. 30, 1885. To the President of the United States.
 SIR, In conformity with your instruc- tions, and with the usage of the Department, l have tine honor to lay before you state ment of it's operation during the past season, aIidd reports from the various bureaus, exhibit ing, in detail, their respective proceedings, as far as these appear to be sufficiently impor- tant fer communication in the usual annual statements.
 The general positions of the army remain the same as at the time of my last Report. Some movements however, have taken place, which 1t is proper should be specially brought before you.
 Fourteen companies have been placed un- der the command of General Clinch, in Flor ida, with view to impose a proper re- straint upon the Seminole Indians, who have occasionally evinced an unquiet spirit, and to insure the stipulations providing for the removal of these Indians. As soon as this takes place, those troops will resume their proper positions.
 The regiment of dragoons has been useful ly employed in penetrating into the Indian country; in exhibitingto the Indians force well calculated to check or to punish any hos tilities they may commit, and in adding to our geographical knowledge of those remote regions. Col. Kearney, with one detach- ment marched through the country between the Des Nioines and the Mississippi rivers; Col. Dodge with another made an excursion south of Missouri towards the Rocky Moun- tains; and Major Mason, with third, joined by detachment of Infantry, was employed in duties connected with the assem5lage of a body of Indians, at the Cross Timbers, near the Great Western Prairie, for the purposeo ol establishing permanent specific relations be- tween the remote wandering bands and the United States and the more agriculturin: In

 From the Boston Pearl THE PRISONER FOR DEBT.
 BY JOHN c. WHITTIER
 Cast down, great God, the fanes

 Temples, whose priesthood pore
 Moses and Jesus o'er,
 Then bolt the poor man's prison.
 Pierpoa. Look on him-through his dungeon-erate, feebiy afd cold, the morning light Comes stealing round him, dim and late, As fit loathed the sight. His hand upholds his dropping head Ills bloodless cheek is scanned and hard. Unshornhis gray, neglected beard And o'er his bony fingers flow His long, dishevelled locks ofsnow. No grateful fire before him glows, And yet the Winters breath is chill: And o'er his half-clad person goes The frequent ague thrill SIlent-save ever and anon, A sound, half murmur and half eroan. Forces apart the painful grip Of the old sufferers bearded lip: Q sad and crushing is the fate Ot old age chained and desolate Just God why lies that old man there murderer shares his prison bed, Whose eyeballs through his horrid hair, Clean on him fierce, and red And the rude oath and heartless jeer Fall ever on his loathing ear, And, or in wakefulness or sleep, Nerve, flesh and fibre thrill and creep Nhene'er that ruffian's tossing limb, Crimson With murder, touches him What has the gray-haired prisoner done Has murder stan'd his hands with gore! Not so his crime s fouler one: GoD MADE THE OLD MAN POOR For this he shares felon's cell-- The fittest earthly type of Hell; For this--the boon for which he poured His young blood on the invaders sword, And counted light the fearful cost His blood-gained LIBERTY is lost And SO, for such place of rest, Old prisoner, poured thy blood as rain On Goncord's field and Bunker's crest, And Saratoga's plain Look forth, thou man of many scars, Through thy dim dungeons iron bars It must be joy, in sooth to see lon monuments upreared to thee Piled granite and prison cell The land repays thy service well. Go, ring the bells and fire the guns. And fling the starry banner out ]; Shout Freedom 1! till your lisping ones Give back their cradle-shout: Let boastful eloqaenco declaim Of fhonor, liberty and fame Still let the poets strain be heard, With glory for each second word, And every thing with breath agree To praise our < glorious liberty But when the patriot cannon jars That prisons cold and gloomy wall, And thro' it's gratcs the stripes and stars Rise on the wind and fall-- Think ye that prisoners aged ear Reloices in the general cheer Think ye this dim and falling eve Is kindled at your pageantry Borrowing of soul, and chained oflimb, What IS yoer carnival to him Down with the LAW that bind him thus! Unworthy freemen, let 1t find No refuge from the whitening curse Of God and human kind Open the prlson's living tomb, And usher from its breeding gloom The victims of your savage code, To the free sun and air of God, Nor longer dare as crime to brand The christening ofthe Almighty's hand
