fee, as belonging most appropriately to this
branch Of the service.
Besd these four principal branches Of this
new Executive Department, the organic act Of
ls49 trans sferred to l. from the Treasury Depart
ment the supervision Of the accounts of the Uni
ted States Marsbals and Attorneys, and the
Clerks of the United States Courts, the manage
ment of the lead and other mines of the United
States, al tie affairs of the penitentiary of the
United States 10 the District of Columbia and
from the State Department t1e duty of taking
and returning the censuses Of the Uni ed States,
and of supervising and directing the acts Of the
Commissioner of Public Buildings. The Hospi-
tai for the Insane Of the army and navy and Of
the District Of Columbis is also under the man
agement of his Department; in addition to
which, by laws recently passed, the Secretary of
the Interior is charged with the construction Of
the three wagon roads leading to the Pacific
coast.
Under act of February 5, 1859, "providing for
keeping and dis ributing all public documents,
all the books, documents, &C., printed or pur-
chased by the Government" the Annals of Con-
gress, American State Papers, American Ar
chives, Jeiferson's snd Adams's Works, are
transferred to this Department from the state
Department, Library OF Congress, and elsewhere |;
also, the Journals and Documents Of the Thirty
fifth Congress. These valuable works are dis
trbnted to those who are by law entitled TO re-
ceive them, and to such "colleges, public libra
ries, atheneums, literary and scientific institu.
tions, boards of trade or public associations"
as shall be designated by the members of Con-
-gress.
The Department requires an additional build
ing for its accommodation, and the erection Of
one has been repeatedly recommended during
the last few years for that purpose. At present,
the Pension Office is provided with rooms in what
is known as "Winder's Building" while the
other branches tf the Department. including the
Secretary's Office are all crowded into the Patent
Office building, the whole OF which will be re-
quired at an early day for the use of the Patent
Office, for which it was originally intended.

CONCORD, N. H., March 2.
MBssRs. SETH w. FowLE & CO.-Geatlsmsn ::
Two years ago, a sudden and violent attack upon
my Lungs confined me to my bed for several weeks
and when recovered, was so much oppressed by
difficulty in breathing. that was often unable TO
sleep or rest upon g bed by night. The suffering
was extreme, and judging from the ineflcacy OF the
remedies used, supposed the disease incurable.
Being persuaded TO try bottle OF Wistar'S Balsdm
Of Witd Cherry. without confidence in its efficacy,
fore one bottle was used up. Sympathy with my
fellow sufferers induces me to make this public
statement, and Eeeommend the article to others
similarly afflicted. -. H. - .
