'To
Post Office Department.
In 1827, there were 7.000 post offices ; in 1837,
11,177; in 1847, 15,146; and in 1857 they numbered 26,586. In this year 1,725 post offices have
beeu established and 701 .discontinued, leaving a
net increase of 1,051. The postmasters of 368
post offices are appointed by the President.
The lenglh of post roads in 1827 was 105,336
miles; in 1837, 141,342 mileB ; in 1847, 153,818
miles; and in the year 1857 there was 242,601
miles of post road, including 22,510 miles of railroad, on which the mails are transported.
Tbe expenditures ofthe department for the fiscal year ending on the 30th June. 1857, as adjust,
ed by the Auditor, amounted to $11,507,670. To
defray these expenses there was to the credit of
the department on the 1st July, 1S56, the sum or
$7S9.599 ; the gross revenue of the year, including the annual allowances for tbe transportation
nf free mail matter, produced $8,053,951 ; aud
the remainder was supplied by the appropriations
from the treasury of $2,250,000, granted by the
act of Congress approved Aug. 18, 1856, aud hy
the appropriation of $666,883 made by the act of
March 3, 1857, leaving $252,773 to be carried to
the credit ofthe departmeut in the accounts of the
current year.
The   Treasury.
The receipts during the fiscal year, ending June
30, 1857, were $68,571, 67-; balance on hand at
the commencement of the year, $10,901,325 45 ;
total, $88,532,839 12. Expenditures, $70,822,-
724 85, of which $5,943,896 91 were applied to

balance on hand will be $75,389,934 08. The expenses are estimated at $74,963,958 41, but this
amount is liable to be increased from existing
causes.
The   I ml Inns.
The whole number of Indians within our Territorial limits is believed to be, from the best data
in ihe Interior Department, about 325.000.
The present system of making them valuable
presents to influence them to remain at peace has
proved ineffectual. It is believed to be the better
policy to colonize them in suitable locations,
where they can receive the rudiments of education,
and be gradually induced to adopt habits of industry. So far as the experiment has been tried
it has worked well in practice, aud it will doubtless prove to be less expensive than the present
system.
The tribes of Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws
and Creeks, settled in the territory set apart for
them west of Arkansas, are rapidly advancing in
education and in all the arts of civilization and
sell-government ; and we may indulge the agreeable anticipation that at no very distant day they
will be incorporated into the Union as one of the
sovereign States.
From the __th__utt.
The Paiaraa Star contains th-.- following farther particulars regarding Walker's surrender:—
Our Aspinwall correspondent slates it is reported that Walker shed fem-s wIhmi he hauled d >wn
bis flag on surrendering to the £5 nit estates torces.-
He states further, that the captain of the Brunswick expressed his intention of dislodging Walker
if the United States commodore did not do so,-
and that Walker and bis men hud resolved to
fight to the death before surrendering to the British, though they had determined to yield to the
United States authorities. A mine was laid Wlttt
all the Ppare ammunition, and the British were to
have been blowa'to eternity. Walker waa well1
provisiondd, and had plenty of munitions of war.
The four hundred men sent by Costa Rica
against the filibusters, appear as yet tohave given1
no account of themselves, and considering lhat
the possibility of Walker's return was well known
it is surprising how little precaution appenrs tohave been taken to oppose hia progress. Costa
Rica and Nicaragua engaged in their own private
squabbles Beem to have forgotten the common foe,-
and doubtless would have dearly paid for their
folly had Walker succeeded in ascending the rivecr
The capture of the f iter boats and the loss of Castillo would have rendered Costa Rica quite powerless, and it would hare been a long time before
she found another Spencer to help ber.
Walker left Aspinwall in the steamer Northern
Light, for New York, accompanied |by Capt. En-
gle of the United States frigate Wabaih, who has'
been deputed to hand him over to the safe-keeping
of the Marshal in New York.
A graud ball had been given at Aspinwall in1
lienor of Commodore Paulding and the oflicers of
the Wabash.

Mr. Gwin presented a memorial in the Senate
from a large number of the citizens of California
and New Mexico, praying for the establishment of
the territorial government of Arizona, and subsequently introduced a bill for that purpose. Ou his
motion, a Senate committee of nine was ordered to
consider so much of the President's message as refers to the subject of the Pacific railroad, and sub-
(.'(iuein.lv he introduced a bill for its construction.
Senator Douglas, in executive session of tbe Senate, voted for General Denver as Secretary of Kansas, in place of Mr. Stanton. Senator Broderick
voted against the nomination. The vote of Judge
Douglas on the occasion is constrned by certain
Senators as implying some regret for hia late course
against the administration, as leading to disastrous
conscimences.
The Vice-President, Mr. B reck en ridge, has taken
hia place in the chair of tbe Senate. He appears
e in excellent health and spirits, looking even
younger than be really ».
From the Washington correspondent! of the 8.'
F. Herald, we take the following :—
The House of Representatives removed into
their new hall in the south wing of the Capitol on
the 16th. They have had but two days of trial of
it and the majority are so much dissatisfied that
they can with difficulty be dissuaded from removing back. They are urged to try it for a while,
in the hope that it will improve upon acquaintance. It 13 a better hall for bearing and speak"'
ing than the other. The Speaker, Col. Orr, likes
the new ball, and prefers it infinitely to the old
one. He thinks that business can be dispatched
in it with much more facility than In the other.-
Perhaps the members may be bettar pleased with'
the hall when, as the boy said of the new school
house, they get the hang of it.
The Treasury Note bill, called' for hy the Administration, was reported iu the Senate yesterday
and is now under discussion. The bill will be so
shaped as to provide for the issue of a sum not exceeding twenty millions iu notes of the denominations of fifty dollars ar.d over. They will be mado
receivable in payment of public dues. It is a
question whether they will be made to beaf any
interest. A rate of three per cent which has been
talked of, would cause them to be hoarded up by
capitalists, as fast as they were issued; whereas,'
if the rate of interest be made merely nominaD'
say five mills, the notes will be in as good credit''
and will enter into ibe currency and will he an
important aid to the domestic exchanges.
The President and the Secretary of War endorse
fully the project of a railroad and telegraph be-'
twecn tbe Mississippi and the Pacific.
The President's recommendation of a military
post-road to protect California and our Pacific
possessions, and bisviews oi the facility which in-
presented for it by the Arizona route, on the 32d
parallel, have made an inipresuion on Congress and
the public mind. The state cf tbe Treasury, and
the general financial depression, may serve to retard the execution ofthe project, but it is probable'that provision will be made, at this session,
for its future prosecution; The only question Iff
whether the post-road shall be left to private en--
terprise, aided by the Government, or whether
the Government shall assume its cost, manage-
meni and construction.
Additional testimony is afforrled as .0 the resources, mineral, agricultural, and commercial, of
Arizona, by gentlemen who have explored it, and
who are now here. Major lleiiilzeftnau Iras brought
with him specimens of the siWer ores irom the
miueral region of that Territory.
Much doubt has been expressed as to the sincerity of the frequent declarations ol the Government against __ib-.-t.fIam, Walker is said tohavo
declared that his return to Nicaragua was not dis-'
approved by the Government. But it is now said-
lhat the Government will proceed to verify their
declarations by reprimanding nnd recalling the'
cammander of-'lhe Saratoga fo? not arresting
Walker, and seizing his vessel, the Fashion. That
they have ordered the Fashion to be libeled on
her return, and that the Wahasb and Susquehanna-
are both ordered to San Juan to intercept any re-
'nforc-inents sent to Walker. They have already
dismissed from office one Mr. Marshall for alleged
negligence of duty in sutlerlug Walker to escape-'
Hereafter the Marshals, District Attorneys, and
Collectors are to be instantly dismissed from office
if they suffer filibusters to leave our ports to join
Walker. The fact of their departure will be considered sufficient evidence of negligence on the'
part ot the officers al ttie i-everal ports. The departments are all thrown into confusion by Walk"
cr's moTemeuts. They are waiting lo see what
will turn up next.
Theodore Stdgwick has been appointed District
Attorney for New  York, viee McKcob, removed.
The Secretary of War has determined upon hia
policy, but the want ol money in the treasury delays-
a commencement of operations. A large force will-
be organized in California, and the retreat of ihe
Mormons to Sonora will be cut off.
