Long of December 20, 1853, and such other communications as may have been made by him in reference to the improvement of western rivers since the passage of the act of August 30, 1852; and also a copy of Lieut. Warren's report of his operations on the Des Moines and Rock River rapids, in the Mississippi river, together with any maps, charts, or diagrams of survey made by the last named officer during the past year," I have the honor to transmit you a report of the colonel of the corps of topographical engineers, with all the papers called for, except Lieut.
