Two new centres Of operation have bean opened
under the sanction of this department IN North Car.

work may be spread until the parts unite. Import
ant positions for FORTS navy-yards, harbors, and
lighthouses present themselves along this interest
ing portion Of the coast Of Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alubams and the islands guarding the interior
channel between Mobile and New Orleans. Great
economy exists in the administration Of tho fund
appropriated for the coast survey; and every effort
is made by the superintendent to press the work
onward to completion. Three charts resulting
from the survey have been published within the
past year, and I'VE more are nearly, ready
Tor publication. This great work AS most hon.
orablc 70 the science Of our country, most use
tul 70 our navy and commercial marine, and,
IN connection with our lighthouses, must decrease
the cost OF freight and insurance, well 40 the risk
OF life and property. Great attention has been CIV

Of our lighthouse system. The various improve

ready during the present session Of Congress. From
the Chesapeake to the Capes Of Florida, and thence
westward, our coast is badly lighted, as well as the
great lakes of the north and west; and numerous
wrecks, often accompanied with loss of life and
property, seem to require the nterpostion of Con-

Such portion Of the charts of the exploring expo

partment were distributed for the benefit Of our
whale ships. These valuable charts embrace the
survey Of many hitherto almost UNEMPLOYED regions
and islands of the Pacific, as well as part of the
coast of Oregon, and must be eminently useful for
many purposes, but especially to our seamen and
merchants engaged in the whale fishery. In pur-
suance of resolution Of Congress, a report is in
progress of preparation as regards the banks and
currency, and also in relation to statistics and these,
