The reports Of thesocTetaries arc not yet en-
tire!y complete. The details from some OF the
BUREAUS have not been furnished. The whole
clerical force, however, have been working,
diligently night and day for some tine past.
The labor thrown upon tue various depart
rnents to bring up the work in time Tor these
reports is extraocdjnAry. In almost every
branch OF the government the present adnHn-
istration found the work sadly behind. In
some instances it was sig, twelve and eighteen
months in arrears. This condi ion OF the pub
lie business was characteristic OF the adminls-
tration of Mr. Dnchanan. Il is only wonderful
how, under such circumstances, any lnteilg'-
ble report Of the state of public affairs could
have been attempted. Without any increase
Of the usual force, the clerks at present EN-
roycd in these departments, many OF "noin

nlliar with the routine ot business, IN addl-
ton to Attending the current 1uties, haVe con-
pressed into SIX months the performances OF
from six to eighteen months OF the dates OF
their predecessors. During this week, howev-
er, all this arrearagc of work Will have been
brought up and every department Will have
been placed in complete order, and ready for
a new start. Whatever fault may otherwise
be attributed to the present administration 1t

member OF the Jackson, Artillery, stationed

"On Tuesday morning, q schooner was dis
covered otl' Jekvll Point, which soon showed
= disposition to pass us without calling. Lieu,
!ena@t Cummings was the officer of the day,
ar:d in few minutes he had the guns manned
aad u ball whistliug across the bow of the
Graf This the schooner did not heed, but a
shell from one Of our howi!zers passing un-
comfortably near her bow, brought her to as
quick lis possible. a boat WAS lowered, and
the captain came ashore with the crown of his
hat full Of papers. To Lieutenant Cummings
inquiry why he did rot show iag, he answer.
cd that he had none on board but United
States flag, whi:h he supposed was no; worth
much. The Lieutenant answered, "Not a
d--n," aud after examining his papers, invi-
te him to the officers quarters, and then
dismissed him. To-day we have overhauled
two more schoonerS, but have found them al!
right, and let them 90 on their way rejoicing"
