| the date of the last annual report had con.
structed its road to point twenty three
miles west of the one hundredth meridian
If longitude, being two hundred and seven
| ty miles west from the initial point near
Omaha. Since then the Government has ac-
cepted two hundred and twenty miles, and
| he Government commissioners are now
engaged in examining another completed
section Of twenty miles.
The road has been definitely located 500
miles, and the earthwork will be finished
to that point the present year.
The total cost Of the road to October !,
1867, unadjusted accounts with contract
ors not included,) amounts, according to
the report, to 2l,757 ,4SS.79.
The road on the lst of July, 1867, was in
operation to Julesburg, 3S7 miles, and re-
ceipts from all sources amounted to
81 ,0l5, 1929 ; and expenses to $685.. "a ;
leaving the net earnings 3356,3l4.15.
On the 24th of October last, Govern
ment accepted, upon the report Of the
Government commissioners, section OF
20 miles of the Central Pacific railroad OF
California, terminating at point o. miles
distant Srom Sacramento.
A report upon this road, dated October
| /, 1867, has been received from the Go
vernment commissioners. They state that
it crosses the Sierra Nevada mountains
los miles from Sacramento, at an eleya-
ton Of 7,042 feet above the sea. From the
point where it was then built 9l1 feet only
must be overcome to reach the summit-a
distance Of IL miles. Between the nth
and 18th mle-pOSts there are 10 tunnels
of an aggregate length of 5,l66 feet. Du-
ring the past year about 50 miles of road
have been in progress OF construction ;
the greater part lying on the eastern and
western slopes Of the Sierra Neyadas.
The net profit of the road over operating
expenses in thirty-two months is the large
sum of one million five hundred and fifty
thousand six hundred and nincty-siX dol
lars and twenty-niue cents 81 $50, 696.29).
Since the commencement OF business
operations the company represent that
they have paid to the United States Gov
crnmcnt for taxes, stamps, &C., the sum OF
two hundred and Lightweight thousand
dollars (32SS,0G0).
At the date of the last annual report
the Union Pacific Railway Company, east
Fort Riley, one hundred and thirty five
(l35) miles west from the Initial point on
the line dividing the States of Kansas and
Missouri Since that date this company
has constructed one hundred and fifty
miles OF its road, which have been accept
ed. The Government commissioners are
now examining an additional section Of
twenty miles, completing the road for a
distance of three hundred and five miles
from said initial point.
The aggregate earnings of the company
for ten months and fifteen days, from Oc-
tober Is, 1866, are represented TO have
been one million two hundred and twenty
six thousand four hundred and eighty
| three dollars and eight cents. 1t is also
| represented that during the Same period

amounted to three hundred and fifty eight
thousand nine hundred and forty-nine dol
lars and forty-ninc cents.

The Navy Report.

During tho year our naval force has
been almost exclusively employed in
foreign stations; but little remained for it
in our own waters. The display Of naval
force has been sufficient TO suppress
threatened difficulties, and in every quar-
ter American interests have been respect
ed and American rights observed during
the year. The aggregate naval force has
been reduced to forty vessels and iS2
guns. The number OF vessels in commits
sion has been reduced TO twelve, and the
number in squadron service is thirteen
less than the last annual report. The yes
sells in squadron service are litty-siN The
total number OF vessels in use Is lO3, and
sos guns. The Secretary details Admiral
Farragut's trip on the Mediterranean
Squadron, and says that the oilers of the
naval authorities to remove the suffering
women and children from Crete were re-
fused byt the Turkish authorities. American
commerce in the East suffered detrlment
during orr war, and Prussia and others have
protitted by our misfortune. Sailing YES
sells under the PruS>an flag are in every
port receiving freights cheaper than are
offered by any other nation. Apprchen-
to recover the prestige of our former sue
cessful mercantile marine in the China
seas unless it be by means OF steam yes
sells built for that. trade. The Department
states that the causes which made it eNpe-
dient to continue 4 force i'll the Cult
ceased with the attempt 10 establish an
Imuerial Government in Mexico. To the
discretion Of Commander Roe and our con-
sui there, the Secretary says, we are IN
dehtcd for the prevention of an etluslon OF
blood when Vera Cruz surrendered to the
MeXicaus. Reports from the African
squadron show that the slave trade has
ceased. No slaves Of any nation were dis
covered. The Secretary speaks highly of
the iron clads, and says that the cruise of
the Miantonomah to Europe and the Monad-
mock to California were the most remark
able voyages ever undertaken by tur-
rctted iron-clad vessels, and show that this
class of vessels need not be confined to
harbors. Four new vessels OF TINS class
have been launched during the year, and
the steam machinery is completed for
seven more. The building of four vessels
trife smaller than the Nantasket at
| Charlestown has been commenced, as the
smaller class is found to be more service
able. The Secretary urges an extension
of our navy-yards; says they arc too cir
cumscrbed, and says that the estimates
for improvements are larger now than last
year, owing to the omission of Congress to
make any appropriations last winter. The
experiments at the Charlestown navy-yard
in the use of petroleum for fuel under
hat
health, safety, and comfort, are against It's
use. For the Charlestown hayward an
appropriation Of $4,000 is asked.

Report or the Acting Commissioners
of Agriculture.

John W. Stokes, Esq, Acting Commits
sioner of Agriculture, in his report eX-
presses the wish that Congress will devise
some plan for facilitating the early con-
struction Of ship canal for the transpor-
tation of western products from the lakes
to the ocean, or for the building of dou-
bic track railway, open to al, forwarding
on equal terms, and supported by an equl-
table system of tolls.
The wool growing interest, involving q
capital of hundreds of millions, and I'M
deriving the prosperity Of American agri-
culture in degree scarcely appreciated
bv farmers themselves, has been saved
from threatened annihilation by the action
of Congress in placing a duty upon the
foreign article equivalent to the internal
taxation endured by the wool growers.
The unsettled condition OF industry OF
the southern States requires the encou-
raging aid and friendly recognition of the
Government to restore the people to q
state Of prosperity and scli-rcl'ance, SO
essential to the development OF the great
resources Of that section.
He advocates that the cotton tax be re-
scinded, as it is disastrous and disheart-
cning in the extreme.
The introduction of Asiatcs for cotton
production is to be deprecated. Such labor
is unskllcd, and far inferior to negro Ia
Dor, and will add to the complications pro
duced by the jcalousies and prcjudlces OF
races widely differing in character, taste,
and traditional customs.
The distribution of plants from the ex-
detrimental and propagating gardens from
January to May &, 1867, amounted to
~, 1913, reaching every State and territory
in the country. The articles have con-
sisted mainly Of the smaller variety OF
fruits, of which the grape has been III
larr, proportion. The main purpose OF
the garden, that of testing the respective
merits OF new varieties, is still kept strictly
in view, and all new varieties are procured
as early as practicable, and the knowled &c
gained concerning them embodied III the
Department reports.
In the chemical laboratory OF the De-
partmcnt analyses and tests have been con-
siau,ly made to ascertain the value and
utility of various products, fertilizers,
minerals. and iibrcS, the benefits of which
the country are reaping. Correspondence
