Gov. WALKER AND KANSAS. = The Richmond
South concludes article in reference to the
of Gov. Walker in Kansas, in the following Words
Whatever be the criticism upon Walkers conduct.
we cannot deny it the praise of consistency He went
to Kansas with resolution to expel slavery from
the Territory and he has pursued his object with in
flexible tenacity OF purpose. Embarrassed by no
compuncton Of conscience sticking at technicality
and utterly reckless Of consequences he has followed
mire, even whilo we reprobate its motive and depore
its results. st4 " Soi ~ sp54t@e' @s7S H.
No doubt Gov. Walker has accomplished bis object
and there is little doubt his objects were the objects
Of the administration. If they were not, he would
not have been retained in authority It is absurd to
imagine that the superior will permit inferior to
commit him to line Of policy rpugnant to his views
of Justice, honor and right If Mr. Buchanan had not
desired the aboltionization of Kansas, Gov Walker
would have been removed long SINCE 73" is

EXECUTIVE REPORTS.
The Report of the secretarv of War

The report Of Elk Gov. Floyd, Secretary O
war, shows the necessity for an immediate in
crease OF the army, which at present consists
OF nineteen regiments, divided into ten of In
fantry, four of artillery, two of dragons, two Of
cavalry, and one of mounted rihemep, the
whole strength of the army, as posted consist
lng OF about 1854 men, the actual strength on
the lst of July last being 1874. In addition to
the movements which the troops have been
called on to make this year, this force is called
upon to garrison sixty eight forts of a large
and permanent character, so far as it is posi-.
BILE to supply men for the purpose, and to occu.
Ply seventy posts, less permanently established
where the presence of force is absolutely re.
quired. Inc area over which these forts and
posts are speard embraces a circuit of about
100000 square miles. For the proper occu
patton OF these posts, the military supervision
OF the external boundary of our country, the
protection of the double line of Indian frontie,
extending from the Lake of the Woods to the
banks OF the Rio Grande on the east side of the
Rocky Mountains, and from beyond the river
Oregon on the British frontier to the head OF
the Gulf of California on the western slope OF
these mountains, and the protection of the
great lines OF Accommodation between the
valley Of the Mississippi and the Pacific ocean,
the Secretary recommends the raising of five
additional regiments.
Ia view of the menacing attitude of affairs in
U ali, and the Importance OF prompt and tho
reisning there, the Secretary repeats MS rec.
characterization Of five new regiments, which he
considers the smallest addition to the army
which the exigencies of the service will allow
A number OF defects in the organic alton of the
army are pointed out, and improvements sug-
gested.
The route from Ell Paso 10 the Colorado is
designated as the most eligible route for the

Meanwhile, it is recommended, that at least

The Secretary informs The President that the
naval force employed durisg the past year has
been sufficient for the persons, property, and
ommerce, Of American citizens, At home and
abroad.
The Secretary gives details of the movements
of the squadrons on the Home, Pacific, Medi
terranean, Brazil, African, East India, and Chi
nese stations. They are OF varied interest.
The movements of the Wabash, Roanoke, and
Cyane, which brought to New York aud Boston
portions of the Nicaraguan army, are outlined ;
, and the intervention of the United States in
Central American affairs explained.
Congress, at its last session, authorized the
enlistment of 8. 500 men for the navy. An in
crease of privates in the marine corps is rec.
commended two thousand men being deemed
necessary for the ordinary detail of the service.
Proposals for the Brooklyn marine barracks
have not yet been invited. A contract has been
entered upon for the Pensacola barracks. Those
at Boston, Philadelphia, and Norfolk, are rep.
resented as unfit for use.

The General Land Office Report.

The General Land Office report shows an
aggregate OF public lands disposed of during
the i've quarters ending September 30, 1857, of
little over twenty one millions of acres OF
this, the proportion granted to Alabamaan Min
nesota for railroad purposes, pursuant to the
act OF Congress, is about FIVE millions. Ofnearly
thirteen millions Of acres sold and located it is
calculated that about three. fourhs we're taken
for actual settlement. The falling off under
this latter head since the previous report is more
than six millions Of acres, and the cash receipts
have diminished in a i'll larger proportion.
These facts are accounted for by the large grants
made to railroads during the last Congress, the
reduced prices f1ed by the graduation act, and
the additional lands placed at the disposal of
