Oltneral alms,
PRESIDENT' MESSAGE.
Our estimate of this splendid state paper
, s spoken in another. column. It will com
mand the admiration of the civilized world.
Its frank and conclusive disclosure of the
firmuesiof our important foreign relations
and our gtoiving means for self-reliance at
home, dill command universal belief. As a
moral power against the insurgents, it will
do more than any one battle which our army
could win. Our readers will not expect us
to fill our columns with it. It:came to hand
just too late for use in our last. paper; just
soon enough to have been almost a week
before the public when this number is is
sued, so that we suppose it has already been
before the eye Of every reader 'of' outs. We
shall however lake the room to repeat the
terms in which he sums up, almost in a-nut
shell, and yet with perfect distinctness, the
issues in strife, and his own calmzt and im
moveable position respecting them. •We
must have at least this much on our. files :
we should be ashamed, in after years,to look
over them in vain fdr a'shred of this monu
mental way-mark along the track of the
present stage in our national histbry. We
quote as follows :'
The most reliable indication of public pur
pose in this country is derived through our
popular elections. Judging by the recent
canvass and its results, the purpose of the
people within the loyal states, to maintain
the integrity of the Union, was: never more
firm nor never more nearlyAnaniruousthan
now. The extraordinary calmness and good
order with which the. .millions of voters min
gled at the polls, gave strong Assurance of
this.
Not only all. those who suppOrted the
Union ticket, so called, but a great majority
of the opposing party also, may be fairly
claimd to entertain and to be actuated by
the same purpose. It is an, unanswerable
argument to this effect, that no candidate
for any office, however high or law, has ven
tured to seek votes on the avowal that he
was for giving up the Union.
There has been-• much impugning of mo
tives, and much heated controversy: as to
the proper means and best mode of J)romot
ing the TJnidn cause but on the distinct;
issue of Union or not Union the politicians
have shown theirinstinctive , knowledge that
there is no diversity amorig'the people. In
affording to the people the lair opportunity
of showing one to another, and,tothe world,
this firmness and unanimity of purpose, the
election ha's been of - vast value to the na
tional cause.
The election has exhibited another - fact
not less valuable to be known—the fact that
we do not approach exhaustion in the most
important branch of national resources—
that of living men. While it is melancholy
to reflect that the war has filled so many
graves and carried mourning to so many
hearths, it is some relief to know that 'com
pared will the surviving, the fallen have
been so few. While corps and divisions and
brigades and regiments have formed and
fought and dwindled, and gone out.of exist
ence, a great majority of the men who com
posed them are still living, The same is
true of the naval service. The election re
turns prove this. So many voters could not
else be found. -
[A. minute statistical comparison of the
number of votes given now and four- years
ago respectively follows. TII Message then
proceeds:]
So much is shown affirmatively and nega
tively by the election. It is not material to
inquire how the increase has been produced,
or to show that it would have been greater
but for the war, which is probably true. The
important fact remains demonstrated that
we have more men now than we had when
the war began, that we are not exhausted
nor in the process of exhaustion, that we
are gaining strength, and may, if need be,
maintain the contest indefinitely. This as
to men. Material resources are now more
complete and abundant than ever. The
natural resources then are unexhausted,
and, as we believe inexhaustible.
The public purpose to establish and main
tain the national authority is unchanged,
and, as we believe, unchangeable. The
manner of continuing the effort remains to
choose. On careful consideration of all the
evidence accessible, it seems to me that no
attempt at negotiation with' the insurgent
leader could result in any good. •
He would accept nothing short _of sever
ance of the Union ; precisely what we will
not and cannot give. His declarations to
this effect are explicit and oft-repeated. He
does not attempt to deceive us. He affords
us no excuse to deceive ourselves. Ere can
not voluntarily reaccept the Union. We
cannot voluntarily yield it.
Between him and us the issue is distinct,
single and inflexible. It is an issue which
can only be tried tiy war and decided by
victory. If we yield, we are beaten. If the
Southern people fail him, he is beaten.
Either. way it would be the victory and de
feat following war. What is true, however,
of him who heads the insurgent cause is not
necessarily true of those who follow. Al
though he cannot reaocept the Union they
can.
Some of them, we know, already desire
peace and reunion. The number of such
may increase. They can at any moment
have peace, simply by .laying .down their
arms and snbmitting to, the national autho
rity under the Conrtitution. After so much,
the Government could not, if it would, main
tain war against them., The loyal people
would not sustain or allow it. If questions
should remain-we would adjust them by the
peaceful means of legislation, conferences,
courts and votes operating only in constitu
tional and lawful channels. Some certain
and other possible questions are and would
he beyond the Executive power to adjust,
as, for instance, the admission of members
into Congress, and whatever might require
the appropriation of money. The Execu
tive power itself would be greatly diminish
ed by the cessation of aotual war. Pardons
and remissions of forfeiture, however, Would
still be within the Executive control. In
what spirit and temper this - control would
he exercised can -be fairly judged of by the
past. A year ago a generaLpardon and am
nesty, upon specified terms, were offered to
all except certain designated classes, and it
was at the same time made known that the
excepted classes were still within contem
plation of special clemency. During the
Year many availed themselves of the gene
ral provision. and many more would, only
that the signs of . bad faith in some led to
such precautionary measures, as rendered
the practical process less easy and certain.
During the same time, also", special pardons
have been granted to individuals of the ex
cepted classes, and no voluntary applica
tion has been denied. Thus, practically,
the door has been for a full year open to all,
except such as were not in condition to
make free choice—that is, such as were in
custody or under obnstraint. It is still so
°Pen to all. But the time may come when
public duty shall demand that it be closed,
and that in lieu more vicorous measures
than heretofore shall be adopted. - •
In presenting the abandonment ,of armed
resistance to the National authority on, the
part of the insurgents as the only indispen
sable condition to ,ending the war on the
part of the Government, I retract nothing
heretofore said as to slavery.
I repeat the declaration made a year, ago,
that while I remain in my present position
I shall not attempt to retract or modifylhe
Emancipation Proclamation, nor shall I re
turn to slavery any person who, is,free, by
the terms of that proclamation, or by any
' -
of the acts of Congress.
If the people should, by whatever mode
or means, make it an executive duty, to re
enslave such persons,, another; and not I,
must be their instrttment to perform it. In
stating a single condition of
,peace, I mean
simply to say that the war will case on the
part of the Government whenever it shall
have ceased on the part of those who began it.

his report of December 10th, 1863, was $l,-
098,793,181.37. • To this should be added.the
amount paid into the treasury previous to

were subsequently' issued; $23,781,423.20.

March 2, 1861, and prior thereto, $278,511 64. Total, $l,-
409082,455 84.
The amount of certificates outstanding on Ist of No
vember 1864, was $238,593,000. This being a much larger
amount than the market ought to bear, it would not - be
wise to calculate upon these securities as available for
the service of the year beyond $76.000,000. The available
probable resources for the current year may then be
stated as follows :
From Customs
From Lands....
Front Internal Revenue
From Dtfiscelaneous sources
From Direct Tax
From Certificates of Indebtedness
Total $419,951,385 02
To this should be added :
Probable unexpended balances, June 30,
1865 ' $360,000,000 00
Balance of cash, July 1, 1804 8,842,558 71
Total resources $788,334,047 73
which, deducted from the expenditures,
leaves a balance to be provided for by loan
of $620.77,508.11. If, however, an addition
al sum of $50,000,000 should be realized, as
proposed by the Commissioner, from internal
duties, the amount to be raised by loans
would be $570,727,508.11. From this should
be deducted the public debt redeemed, $BB,-
353,320.00. Leaving as increase of the pub
lic debt at the close of the year, $482,374,-
188 02.
The public debt matured and matnring
during the year is, as before stated, $163,353,-
220 09 ; from this may be deducted, as likely
to be provided by new certificates of indebt
edness, $75,000,000. Add to this sum $BB,-
353,320 09 to the balance to be provided for
expenditures of the year, viz $482,374,188-
02, it makes the whole amount to be provid
ed from loans $570,727,508 11; but as this
would include so much of the public debt as
would be redeemed exceeding certificates
issued within the year, viz : $88,358,320 09,
this sum is to be deducted from the amount
to be obtained by loans, yiz : $570,727,508 11,
showing the probable increase of the public
debt during the year to be $482,374,188 02,
which, added to $1,740,690,489 49, would
make the public debt on July Ist, 1865, $2,-
223,064,777 51, subject to such increase as
may be occasioned should Congress not pro
vide additional revenue, or should the income
from ordinary sources fall short of the esti
mates submitted. .Any estimate which may
be made of the probable receipts and expen
ditures for the next fiscal year must neces
sarily be liable to still greater uncertainty.
This remark applies more particularly to ex
penditures, for while the existing laws re
main unchanged, the amount of revenue
may be calculated with reasonable certainty.
It is impossible to anticipate what the exi
gencies of war may require.

The property of THE DRAKE PETRO
LEUM COMPANY' consists of two tracts of
land, one of two hundred and fifty-seven acres
and one of two hundred and si*-five acres,
making in all, five hundred and twelve acres,
in fee, on the Caldwell. Branch of Oil:Creek.
The property has been critically examined
by. a Committee appointed for that purpose,
and the territory pronounced, in their judg
ment, to be fully equal to that on Oil Creek,
along which the largest, oil s wells ever (Hs ;
covered haVe been found.
The lands resemble • those on Oil Creek, in
every particular, and it is believed from the
large number of oil springs in close proximity,
that valuable wells will be opened on both
these tracts.
The management have already secured seve
ral Engines and engaged a competent Super
intendent, with a view to immediate and an
energetic developement.
A large portion of these tracts is bottom,
and admirably adapted for boring.
Several Companies are organized on lands
immediately adjoining the territory, among
which are the Briggs and Crescent City Oils
Companies of Philadelphia.
