FROM TVASHIJVOTOJY.
The President' MeHMatie i ConRreft.
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
Your attention is respectfully called to the
necessity of passing an Indian Appropriation
bill before the members of Congress separate.
Without such appropriation Indian hostilities
are sure to ensue, and with them suffering, loss
of life, and expenditures vast as compared with
the amount asked.
The latest intelligence from Europe ia
dicates the immiuence of a war be
tween Fiance and North G-rmany,
and in view of this, sound policy indicates
the importance of some legislation tending to
enlarge the commercial marine of this coumry,
The vessels of this country at the present time
are insufficient to meet the increase which the
existence of a war in Europe will impose on the
commerce of the United States, aud I submit to
the consideration of Congress that the interests
of the country will be advanced by the opportU'
nity afforded to our citizens to purchase vessels
of foreign construction for the foreign trade of
the country.
An act to this effect maybe limited in its dura
tion to meet the immediate exigencies. The
foreign mail service of the United States is in a
large degree dependent upon the Bremen and
Hamburg lines of steamers. The Post Office
Department has entered into contracts in writ
ing with the two companies above named, and
with the Williams fc Guion line, respectively,
for a regular and continuous service of two
years. Tbe only arrangement that could be
made with the Inman and Canard lines is tem
porary, and may be driven off at any time. The
North German lines are first-class in point of
speed and equipment.
Their steamers are regularly making the trip
across the Atlantic in from twenty-four to
thirty-six hours in advance of the Williams &
Guion line.
Should the North German steamers be block
aded or impeded by France, our postal inter
course with foreign natloas will be greatly em
barrassed, unless Congress shall interpose for its
relief. I suggest to Congress the propriety of
further postponing the time for adjournment,
with the view of considering the questions
herein communicated. U. 8. Gkant.
