Report of the Secretary of the Navy

The report of the Secretary of the Navy,
after referring in detail to various services per
formed by our naval force during the year,
proceeds to argue the necessity Of its increase
by additional vessels and men. He proposes
that government should purchase for a specific
sum, the several vessels recently chartered for
the Paraguay expedition. He also suggests the
building Of ten heavy armed vessels Of a light
draft, and the increase of the personnel of the
Navy by the appointment of 20 additional sur
geOns, the same number of assistant surgeons,
Is to 20 additional pursers, and the increase of
the marine corps of privates to 1000, with the
usual number of officers. The expenditures
for the fiscal year ending June, 1858, was near
ly Sl4000,000, being little under the appro-
priations, The estimates for the current fiscal
year were $l4,616,000, and the appropriations
$l4,5l8,000. The estimates for the year end
ing June, 1860, are SIC, 100000, iacluding
S864,OOO for completing the eight light draft
steamers but not including the 1896, 900 for
steamship and mail service

Next to the perpetuity of slavery, the acqui-
sition of territory seems to be the especial
vanity" of Mr. Buchanan. Peacefully if we
can, but forcibly if we must" but more terri
tory, at all events, seems to be Mr. Buchan-
ans highest perception of the mission of the
government of the United States. Like the
hart after the WATERPROOF, he panteth for the
genial climate of Central America. With the
eager longing with which good Mother Eve
may be supposed to have gazed upon the ripe
pippins in the garden of Eden, Mr.. Buchanan
casts his aged eyes upon the 4" Gem of the An
TILES" and visions Of independent planters,
happy negroes, hogsheads of sugar and punch
cons of rum, seem to float before his enrap-
tured gaze, untla war with Spain seems to him
a mere trile in comparison with the joys of
its possession. Nor does his avaricious greed
mess for more territory content itself with as
piring to such conquests as those we have men
toned. He thinks he perceives in the present
aspect Of affairs in Mexico valid excuse for
Selling another slice Of the territory of that
Inflated Republic, and he more than hints that
it would be well if this government would as
sert its right TO manage the political, CONNER
cial, and monetary affairs of Nicaragua, New
Granada, and Brazil. As whole, and in its
details, the message is anything but credita-
bic either to the head Or the heart of its au-
thor and, taken as an exposition of the ma
tional character, or the national sentiment, up
on those questions Of public policy and politi-
cal economy upon which it processes to treat it

acres of land, which had never been offered at
public sale. During the five quarters there
had been sold 4805,000 acres for cash, from
which upwards of $2,5OO,OOO were realized
The whole amount of land sold and located

The Report Of the Secretary of war states
the actual strength of the Army on July |, was
1880 The disbursements in the Quarter
masters department have been nearly ten
millions. The estimate for the next fiscal
year are about $4,000, 900, being upwards of
9,OOOOOO less than the appropriation for last
year The Secretary eftertans strong hope
that the expenditures of his Department
may be still further reduced in the course of
another year, so that there will be no necessity
OF asking for appropriations in the shape of a
deficiency bill
Lieut.. Ives, of the Typographical Engineers
has prepared preliminary report of the re-
results Of his expedition for the exploration of
the Colorado Of the West, which will appear
with the report Of the Secretary of War The
expedition was highly successful one, and
the results of an important character. He as
cended that river in a steamboat 500 miles, and
considers the navigation practicable for that
distance for steamers of light draft 1t is
thought the opening of this river may devel-
ope an economical avenue Of transportation to
large portions Of New Mexico, California and
Utah
After the photographic survey, an examin-
alton was made of the previously unknown
region along the Seth parallel which is ira
yersed by the Upper Colorado and its tribu-
taries, and the country was found to possess
such novel and remarkable features as to rem
der the explorations of the highest interest
