Report OF the Secretary of the En-
terror.

This report, which is not sufficient gen
eral interest to justify publication in full,
furnishes some interesting statistics re-
garding the operations of the General
Land office. the business of which, the
Secretary states, has been sensib!y affected
by the decline of business throughout the
country. On the 30lh September. 1861,
there were 55. $50. $685. acres of the
public lands which had been surveyed,
but not proclaimed for public sale. The
lands surveyed and offered at public sale
previous to that time, and then subjec! TO
private entry. amounted to 70, 662, 1876, Ga
acres, making an aggregate of public lands
surveyed and ready for sale of 134.213,-
5000 acres. The net income from sales
during the last fiscal yeer will hardly
reach the sum of 100000. The grants
Of swamp and overhowed lands to the
States have absorbed large amount Of
valuable lands, and have caused heavy
drain upon the treasury. The claims Of
the several States cover an aggregate Of
81, 895, ST., 40 acres The bounty land
warrants and scrip issued under different
acts of Congress, previous TO September
80, 1861. embrace an aggregate of H.

The propriety of issuing bounty land
warrants to the volunteers is, the Secreta
ry says subject of discussion. and must
be determined by Congress He express

acres to each volunteer engaged in the
service would absorb over one hundred
