THE PUBLIC LANDS.

The Report of the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office covers period of five quarters,
ending Sept 30, 1858, and gives a full and
satisfactory statement of the proceedings of the
Land Department Of the Government, upon the
subject of its varied and complicated jurisdic-
ton.
During that period, there were l5,209. $40,
acres of public lands surveyed, which, with
former surveys, made a quantity of 81 ,95l ,O46
acres of the public lands surveyed and ready
for market on the Both Sept, 1853, which had
never before been offered at public sale
During the same period there were sold for
cash 4,804, 9l9 4 l00 from which was realized
s., 1874, 1920, located with military land war
rants, So, Ito, and reported swamp-land
grants of ,40l ,565 8-l00 acres, making an ag-
gregate of cash sales, land-warrant locations,
and swamp selections, Of $l2, l83, 59454.
The cash realized seems disproportioned to
the quantity of land sold but that is accounted
for by the very large sales at reduced prices
under the graduation law of Aug. 4, 1854.
From the passage of that act up to the close of
the fiscal year ending Both June, 1853, there
were sold at the various graduated prices,
l,80l ,843, 534 acres, of which there was sold at
the lowest price of l23 cents per acre
lO,O68,480 25-l00 acres. The Commissioner
expresses the opinion that very considerable,
if not the greater, portion of the entries under
that law have been made by INSCRIPTIONS in
dlviduals, in cOntravention of the law, and
bought up by spectators who are relying upon
Congress for confirmation of their entries.
The report presents the following summary
OF operations under the several bounty land

habits of civilized ife but such has not been the
fact. These have increased enormously
He also recommends that the authorities of
California should be applied to for the requi-
site State legislation, so that the intercourse
laws should be enforced upon the reservations
within that State, and the Indian orphans could
be bound out for a term of years to upright and
humane persons, to be taught suitable trades
and occupations. Also, that the Pinas and
Maricopa bands of Arizo should be furnished
with agricultural implements, &C., as recon-
mended by special agent GODDARD Baily, from
whom alone all additional information, since
the last annual report concerning the Indians
in Arizona, has been obtained.
The Indians in New Mexico, with the ex-
ception of the Nayajos, have been peaceable
during the year. The citizens of that Terri
tory have severely suffered from Indian depre-
dations since its acquisition by the United
States, and claims have been sent in, amount
ing to $5l6,l60.63, There appears to be a
material improvementin the conduct of Indians
in Utah, caused by the presence Of our army in
that Territory.
Measures have been adopted to locate third
reserve for the Indians in Texas. No progress
has been made in carrying out the provision in
the act of March 3, 1857, for collecting the
Southern Camanches and Watchetas on reser-
vatiOns south of the Arkansas river and none
can be made until the War Department is en-
powered to furnish adequate force for protec-
ten.
Colonel Rector has effected the removal of
nearly the whole of the Seminoles of Florida,
west of Arkansas, at very small cost.
Commissioner renews recommendation of
last year, for the establishment of Federal
Court for the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and
Cherokees.
1t is recommended that the killing of buffa-
Ices, merely for their skins, should be prohib-
tied.
The report is altogether an able one, and
reflects great credit on Commissioner Mix, who
had the preparation of it.
