The time has come, however, when the Government ana national eauks should be requited to take the most efficient steps, and make all necessary arrangements for a resumption of specie payments at the earliest practicable period. Specie payments having been once resumed by the Government and banks, all notes or bills of paper issued by either of a less denomination than twenty dollars, should by law be excluded from circulation, so tbat itie people may have the benefit and convenience of a gold and silver currency, which, in all their business transactions, will be uniform in value at home and a broad. Every man of property or industry—every man who desires to preserve what he honest ly possesses, or to obtain what he can hon estly earn, has a direct interest in maintain ing a safe circulating medium as shall be real and substantial, not liable to vibrate with opinious, not subject to be blown up or blown down by the breath of speculation, but to be made stable and secure. A dis ordered currency is one of the greatest politi cal evils; it undermines the virtues necessary for the support of the social system, and en courages propensities destructive of its hap piuess. It wars against industry, frugality and economy, and it fosters the evil spirits of extravagance and speculation. It has been asserted by one of our profound and most gifted statesman, that "of all the con trivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effectual than that which deludedtheui with paper money." This is the most effectual of inventions to fertilize the rich man's held by the sweat of the poor mail's brow. Ordinary tyranny, oppression, excessive taxation, these bear lightly on the happiness of the mass of the community as compared with a fraudulent Currency and the robberies committed by depreciated paper. Our own history has re corded for our instruction enough, and more than enough, of the demoralizing tendency, the injustice and the intolerable oppression ou the virtuous and well disposed, of a de graded paper currency authorizedby law or in any waj r countenanced by Government. ]c is one of the most successful devices in times of peace or war, expansions or revul sions, to accomplish the transfer of all the precious metals train the great mass of the people into the hands of the few, where they are hoarded iu secret places or deposi ted in strong boxes under bolts and bars, while the people are left to enduie all the inconvenience, sacrifice and demoralization resulting from the use of a depricated and worthless paper money. The condition of our tiuaucics and the operations of our reve nue sy.-teui are set forth and fully explained in the able and instructive report of the S-eietarv of the Treasury. Ou the .10th of June, 1866, the public debt amounted to $2,783,425,879; on the 30th of June last it was $2 692.199,215: showing a reduction during the fiscal year of $91,226,664. Di ving the fiscal year ending June 30. 1867, the receipts were $490,634,010 and the ex penditures $346,729,129, leaving an avaiia bie surplus ot $143,904,880. It is estimated that the receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1868, will be $417,161,928, and that the expenditures will reach the sum of $393,269,226, leaving in the Treasury a surplus ot $23,892,702. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1869, it is estimated that the receipts will amount to $381,000,000, and that the expenditures will tie $372,000,- 000, showing an excess of $9,000,000 in favor ot the Government. The Revenue System. The attention of Congress is earnestly in vited to the necessity of thorough revision of our revenue system. Our internal reve nue laws and import system, should be so adjusted as to bear most heavily on at deles ot luxury, leaving the necessaries ol fileas free from taxation as may be consistent wii .'i the real wants of the Government. Econotu ically administered, taxation would not then fall unduly on the man of moderate means, and while none would be entirely exempt font all in proportion to their pecuniary abilities would contribute towards the support of the State. A modi fication of the internal revenue system, by a large reduction in the number of articles now subj et to tax, woulu he followed by re sults equally advantageous to the citiz-n and the Government. It would render the execution of the law less expensive, and more certain, remove obstructions to indus try, lessen the temptations to evade the law, diminish the violations and frauds perpetra ted upon its provisions, make its operations less inquisitorial, and greatly reduce in num bers the army of fax gatherer* created by the system, who "take from 'die mouth of honest labor the bread it has earned." Retrenchment, reform and economy, should be carried into every branch of the public service, that the expenditures of the Gov ernment may be reduced and the people re lieved from oppressive taxation. A sound currency should be restored, and the pub to faith in regard to the national debt sacredly observed. The accomplishment of these important results, together with the restora tion of the Union of the States upon the principles of the Constitution, would inspire confidence at home and abroad in the sta bility of our institutions, and brine: to the nation prosperity, peace and good will. D partment Reports. The report of the Secretary of War ml interim exhibits the operations of the armv and ol the several Bureaus of the War De partment, The aggregate strength of our military force on the 30th of September last was 56,315. The total estim itcfor military appropriations is $77,124, • t)• 00, including a deficiency in last year's appropriation of $13.600 000 00. The payments at the Treasury on account of the service of the War Department, from Jauuary Ist to Oc tober 29th, 1867, a period of ten months, amounted to $109,807,000. The expenses of the militarv establishment, as well as the numbers of the army, are now three times as great as they have ever been in time of peace, while the discretionary power is vei led in the Execu'ive to add millions to this expenditure by an increase of the army to the maximum strength allowed by the law. The comprehensive report of the Secre tary of the Interior furnishes interesting information in reference to the important branches of the pubiic service connected with his department, the mcnancing atti tude of some of the warlike bands of Indi ans inhabiting the district of oountrv be tween the Arkansas and Platte Rivers and portions of Dakota territory, required the presence of a large military force in that re erion. Instigated by real or imaginary grievances the Indians occasionally commit ted acts of barbarous violence upon emi grants and our frontier sttleuients, hut a general Indian war lias been providentially avoided. The Commissioners, under the act of 20rh of Ju'y. 1867. were invested with full power to adjust existing difficulties, negotiate treaties with the disaffi-cted bands, an ! select for them reservations remote from the traveled routes I set ween the Mississippi and the Pacific. They entered without do lay upon the execution ot their trust, hut have not yet made any official report of their proceedings. It is of vital importance that our di-tant Territories should be exempt from Indian outbreaks, and that the con Struction of the Pacific Railroad, an object of nation il importance, should not be inter rupted by hostile Indians. These objects, as well as the material in terests and the moral and intellectual iut provenient of the Indians, can be most eff-etually secured by concentrating them upon portions of country set apart lor their exclusive use, and loomed gt joints remote j : from our highways and encroaching white settlements. Since the commencement of the second ges.don of the Thirty ninth Congress, five 1 ! hundred and ten utiles of road have been : constructed on the main line, and branches ; of the Pacific Railway line from Omaha are 1 i rapidly approaching the eastern base ot the Kockv Mountains, whilst the terminus of I the last section of constructed road in C'ali : fornia, accepted by the Government on the 24th day of October last, was but eleven miles distant froui the summit of the Sierra Nevadas. The r.markableenergy evinced by the companies offers the strongest assur ante that the completion of the road from Sacramento to Omaha will not be long de ferred. During the last fiscal year seven million, forty on*; thousand, one hundred and fourteen acres of public land were disposed ot, and the cash receipts from sales and fees exceeded by one half million dollars the sum realized from that source during the prece ding year. Tne amount paid to pensioners, including expenses of disbursements, was $18,619,956. and thirty six thousand, four hundred and eighty two names were added to the rolls. The entire number of pensioners on the 30th of June last was one hundred and fifty five thousand, four hundred and seventy-four. Eleven thousand, six hundred and fifty five patents and designs were issued during the year ending September 30th. 1867, and at that date the balance in the Treasury to the credit of the patent, fund, was $286,407. The report of the Secretary of the Navy states that we have seven squadronsactively and judiciously employed, underefficient and able commanders, in protecting the persons . and property of American citizens, main taining tlie dignity and power of the Gov ernment, and promoting the commerce and business interests of our countrymen in every , part of the world. Of the two hundred and thirty eight vessels composing the pres ent Navy of the United States, fifty six. car rying five hundred and seven guns are in squadron service. During the year the number of vessels in commission has been reduced to twelve, and there are thirteen lesson squ dron duty than there were at the date of the last report. A large number ot vessels were commenced and in the course of construction when the war termi nated, and although Congress had made the necessary appropriations for their coutple j tion the Department has either suspended work upon them of limited the slow eutopic ! tion of the steam vessels so as to meet the ! contracts for machinery made with private i establishments. j The total expenditures of the Navy De- I partmeut for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1867, were $31,034,011. No appropriations i have been made or required since the close j of the war for the construction and repair of ' vessels, for steam machinery, ordnance, pro l visions, clothing, fuel, hemp, &c., the bal -1 ances under these several heads having been ; more than sufficient for current expenditures. It should also be stated, to the credit ot the : Department, that, besides asking no appro priations for the above objects for the last j two years, the Secretary of the Navy on the j 30th of September last, in accordance with ! the act of M y 1, 1820, requested the Secre : tary of the Treasury, to carry to the surplus i fund the .-,11111 of sixty-four millions of dol lars, being the amount received from the sales of vessels and other war property, and the remnants of former appropriations. The report of the Postmaster General shows the business of the Postoffice Depart j nient and the condition of the postal service j in a very favorable light, and the attention of Congress is called to its practical recom mendations. The receipts of the Depart ment for the year ending June 30, 1867, in eluding all special appropriations for sea and land service, and for free tnai! matter, were $19,978,693. The expenditures for all pur poses were $19,235,483, leaving an unex pended balance in favor of the Department j of $743,210, which can be applied towards 1 the expenses of the Department for the cur j I'v.nt vcar. The increase of postal revenue, i independent of specific appropriation, for ' the year 1867, over that of 1866, wassßso,- : 040. The increase of revenue from the sale | of postage stamps and stamped envelopes, | was $783,404. The increa-e of expendi ture fox 186/, over those of the previous year, was owing chiefly to the extension of | the laud and ocean mail service. During j the past year new postal Conventions have i been ratified and exchanged with the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland, Belgi UIII, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the North German Union, Italy and the Col ! ouia! Government at Hong Kong, reducing very largely the rates of ocean and land postages to and froui, and within those [countries. The report of the acting Com missioner of Agrieuiturs presents the condi tion, wat.ts and progress of an interest em inently worthy the fostering care of Con gress, and exhibits a large measure of the useful results achieved during the year to which it refers. Foreign Affairs. The re establishment of peace at home and the resumption of extended trade, trav el and commerce abroad, have served to in crease the number and variety of questions in the department of foreign affairs. None of these quest ions, however, have seriously disturbed our relations with other Slates. The Republic of Mexico, having been re lieved from foreign intervention, isearnesily engaged in efforts to re establish her consti tutional system of government. A good understanding continues to exist between our Government and the Republics of Hay ti and San Domingo, and our cordial rela tions with the Central and South American States remain unchanged. The tender made in conformity with a resolution of Congress of the good offices of the Government, wish a view to an amicable adjustment of peace between Brazil and her allies on one side, and Paraguay on the other: and between Chili and her allies on the one side, and Spain on the other, though kindly received, has in neither case been fully accepted by the belligerents. The war in the valley of the Paiana is still vigorously maintained. On the other hand actual hostilities between , the Pacific States and Spain have been more than a year suspended. I shall on any proper occasion th.it may occur renew the conciliatory recommendations which have been already uiadc. Brazil, wit 11 enlight ened sagacity and comprehensive stateiuaii- ! j ship, has opened the great channels of the I Amazon and its tributaries to universal j commerce. One thing more seems ueedfui i to assure a rapid and cheering progress in I i South America. I refer to those peaceful j habits without which States and nations j cannot, in this ago, well expect material j prosperity or social advancement. The Expo ition of Universal Industry at Paris has passed, and >eeuis to have fully realized the hig'i expectations of the French Government. If u!d be legal tender inpayment for debts, public and private, j within the United States. An anuuul re- mittanee of $3,000,000 less stipulated ex penses accrues to claimants under the con vention with Spain in 1834. These remit | ranee since the passage of that act have been paid in such notes; the claimants insist that the Government ought to require pay ment in coin. The subject may bo deemed worthy of your attention. No arrangement has as yet been reached ; for the settlement of our claims for BritLh depredations upon the commerce of the ; United States. I have felt it my duty to decline the proposition of arbitration by j her Majesty's Government, because it has j hitherto been accompanied by reservations I and limitations incompatible with the rights, interest and honor ot our country. It is not I to be apprehended that Great Britain will | persist in her refusal to satisfy these just ■ and reasonable claims, which involve the | sacred principle of non-intervention, a priii ciple henceforth not more important to the I United States than to all other commercial nations. Territorial Extentinn—the West India Is lands. - The West India Islands were settled and colonized by European States simultaneous ly witli the settlement and colonization of the American continent. Most of the colo nies planted here became independent na tions in the close of the last and the begin nitig ot the present century. Oar own country embraces commumties which at one period were colonies of Great Britian,I I ranC'', Spain. Holland. Sweden, and Russia. The people in the West Indies, with the excep tion of those of the Island of Hayti, have neither attained nor aspired to independ ence; nor have they become prepared for self-defence. Although possessing consid erable commercial value they have been held by the several European States which colonized, or at some time completed them, chiefly for purposes of military and naval strategy in carrying oul European policy and designs in regard to this continent. In 0 ir Revolutionary war ports and harbors in We>t India Islands, were used by our ene my to the great injury and embarrassment of the United States. We had the same experience in our second wax with Great Britain. The same European policy for a long time excluded us even from trade with the West Indies. While we were at peace with all nations in our recent civil war, the Rebels and their piratical and blockade breaking allies found facilities in the same ports for the work, which they too success fully accomplished, of injuring and devasfa ting the commerce which we are now en gaged in rebuilding. We labored especially under this disadvantage, that European steam vessels, employed by our enemies, found friendly shelter, protection and sup plies in West Indian ports, while our own naval operations were necessarily carried on from our own distant shore. A Naval Outpost. There was then a universal feeling of the ► want of an advanced naval outpost between the Adaiitic coast and Euiope. The duty of obtaining such an outpost peacefully and 1 lawfully, while neirher doing no menacing injury to other Stares, earnestly engaged \ the attention of the Executive Department ; before the close of the war, and it has not i been lost sight of since that time. A not j entirely dissimilar naval want revealed itself ! during the same period on the Pacific coast, j The required foothold there was fortunately ! secured by our late treaty with the Emperor of Russia, and it now seems imperative thit the more obvious necessities of the Atlantic coast should not be less carefully provided for. A good and convenient port and har bor, capable of easy defence, will supply that want. With the possession of such a station by the United States neither we nor any other American nation need longer ap prehend injury or offence from any trans- Atluntio enemy. I agree with our early statesmen that the West Indies naturally gravitate, and may be expected ultimately to be absorbed by the Continental States, including our own. 1 agree with them also 1 hat it is wise to leave the question of such absorption to this process of natural political gravitation. The islands of St. Thomas, St. Johns, which constitute a pait of the group called the Virgin Islands, seemed to offer us advantages immediately desirable, while their acquisition could be secured in harmony with the principles to which I have alluded. A treaty has, therefore, been concluded with the King of Denmark for the cessions of those Islands, an 1 will be submitted to the Senate for consideration. It will hardly be necessary to call the at tention of Congress to the subject of provi ding for the payment to Russia of the sum stipulated in the treaty for the cession of Ala-ka, possession having been formally delivered to our Commissioner. The Ter ritory remains for the j resent in care of a military force, awaiting such civil organiza tion as shall ne directed by Congress. Naturalized Citizens. The annexation of many small German States to Prussia, and the reorganization of that country under a new and liberal Consti tution. have induced tne to renew the effort to obtain a just and prompt settlement of the long vexed question concerning the claims ot foreign States for military service from their subjects naturalized in the United States. In connection with this subject the attention of Congress is respectfully called to a singular and embarrassing conflict of laws. The Ex ecutive Department of this Government lias hitherto uniformly held, as it now holds that naturalization, in conformity with the Con stituti m and laws of the United States, ab solves the recipient from his native allegi ance. The Com ts of Great Britian hold (hat allegiance to the British Crown is indefeasi ble, and is not absolved bv our laws of natur alization. British Judges cite courts arid law authorities of the United States in sup port of that theory against the posit on held by the executive authority of the United States. This conflict perplexes the public mind concerning the rights of naturalized citizens and impairs the national authority abroad. 1 called attention to this subject in my last annual mosage, and now again respectfully appeal to Congress to declare the national will nnmistakably upon this im portant question. The abuse of our laws by the clandestine pro-oeution of the African slave trade from the American ports by American citizens, has altogether ceased, and under exiting circumstances no ap prehensions of its renewal in this part of the world are entertained. Un ler these circuit) stances it becomes a que-tion whether we shall not propose to her Majesty's Govern ment a suspension or discontinuance of the stipulations for maintaining a naval force for the suppression of that trade.

He would call the attention of the public, and to those more immediately interested to the follow ing : His health being too delicate to bear much of the fatigues and exposures consequent on gen eral practice, he has adopted a speciality iu the profession. Soon after commencing practice, some twenty years since, he was attracted by the almost uni versality of female complaints, both in the mar ried and single state. Partly from natural incli nation, and in order to obtain success in practice, these complaints were made the subjeet of incess ant study. These alterations, displacements and deranged functions of the organs peculiar to tht female, are owing to that refined sense of delicacy on the part of the female, who, ignorant ot the consequences, prefers to suffer in silence rather than expose her situation. Seldom cured by the general practitioner, who is prevented by this delicacy from acquiring by experience that tact and skill necessary to discriminate the exact change present, and contents himself with pre scribing for the deranged fuuetions, or overlooking the cause, simply for attendant nervous disorders, founding his prescriptions on a Plethoric Anaeuion ic state of the general system and the result is no benefit, as the number of the long suffering fe males bears ample testimony. Believing that he has, from long aud special attention paid to tbem, acquired that skill in discriminating and experi ence in treating, he solicits the suffering to give him a call.
