Message of the President on the Pay
of Bountics,
ASIIINUTON, Jan s.—The following
is the Message sent to Congress today
by the President of the United States:
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives : By a joint resolution
of your honorable bodies,. approved
December 23d ; 1863, the paying of
bounties for veteran volunteers, as
now practiced by the War Depart-
ment, is to the extent of three hund
red dollars in catch case, provided that
after the fifth day of the present month
it shall terminate. I transmit for your
consideratidn t Communication from
the Secretary of War, accompanied by
one from the Provost Marshal General
to him, both relating to the subject
above mentioned.
I earnestly recommend that the law
be co modified as to allow bounties to
be paid, as they now are, at least Until
the enstiing first day of Febrinirk.
am not without anxiety lest I apreo
to be importunate in thus recalling
your attention to a subject upon which
you have so recently acted; and noth
ing but a deep conviction that the pub
lie interest demands it could induce
mo to incur the hazard of being
mis
understood on this point. The Exec
utive approval Was giver, by me to the
resoktibort mentioned, and it is now by
a close attention and a fuller knowl
edge of the facts that I feel constrain
ed to reeem•mend a reconsideration of
the - subject. A. LINCOLN
Swilllir; 5, 1861. •
Tows of the Siffeary of War.
The Secretary of War, in a letter
accompanying the Menage, says :
"No one seems to doubt the necessity
of ha:Teasing : the military fan' fol'"the
speedy termination of the rebellion ;
and althongh much difference of opin.
ion exists in respect to the merits of
the sys tent. of ea NI g t roq .c ps by, volt(

the systenv °Praising - an adequateforce

of the people in every State prefer the

without houlity.
The information received' tti the
War Department from the arMies in
the field prior to the passage or the re
holution of December last, indicated
that a very largo proportion of the for
ces now in the service would have
cheerfully ro•enlisted for three years
under the terms authorized by the or
der of this Department, and that such
enlistments have heed checked and
will, in a great meastti•e, be put an end
to by the restriction imposed by the
action of Congress. It is believed that
ifany limitation shrink( be imposed up
on the payment of (Mantles to encour
age t h e emistment of the Veteran for
ces now in the fk-Id, it ought not to be
sooner than the Ist of February."
Views of the Provost Marshal General.
The Provost Marshal General in a
communication says : "After great la
bor, the volunteers recruiting fir the
service under the President's call of
October 17th, is Wyly in progress.—
Letters, all dated between the 20th
and 24th of December, front the super
intendents of the recruiting service in
the sixteen States are in the main very
encouraging as to the prospect of get
ting a large number of recruits by vol
unteers. The enlistments in several
States were in a fair way t.,) raise the
quota assigned them. The act ap
proved liceembui. 23rd, 1833, forbid
ding atter January sth, the payment
to volunteers of all bounties except
the hundred dollars authorized by the
act of 1861, was not known at the time
these favorable reports were made to
me. 1 have no doubt that the effect
of that act will be to check, if it does
not stop enlistments. Of the one hun
dred dollars bounty provided by the
act of 1861, but twenty-five dollars can
be paid in advance ; seventy-five dol
lars being due only after two years'
service.
It took some time after October 17th
to get the people roused to the subject
of volunteering They are now, in
most of the States, earnestly engaged
in it, and I have reports fbr October,
November, and a part of December,
showing that forty-two thousand five
hundred and twenty-nine men have
been enlisted, and the daily average of
enlistments is increasing. Under these
considerations, I respectfully suggest
the propriety of a reconsideration of
the not forbidding the payment of
bounties after January sth. '
Tho communications were referred
to the Committee on Military Affairs.
War Pro .peets Abroad.
The now year opens with "wars and
rumors of wars." There is strife, or
its coming shadow, in every part of
the 'world. Here, tho civil war, which
has raged for nearly three years, is not
yet closed, though it would appear
certain that it must speedily be ended I
two elements evidently being in corn
hination—the valor of the Union corn
bat; nts and the straits to which the
rebels have been driven. To this may
be added the justness afoul' cause. We
contend, not alone for the political
purpose of preserving that Federal
Union which built us up intd a migh
ty nation, but also in the name of that
Humanity which has been so long and
greatly outraged by having permitted
slavery to exist among us, under airy
consideration. On this continent of
ours is now waged another contest, at
once unprovoked and indefensible.
The subtlety of the Emperor Napole
on, which is equalled Only by his gras
ping ambition, sent a French fleet to
Mexiciy and threw a Freneh army into
that, country, nominally to obtain sat
isfacti in for debts clainied by certain
- F renc h ccolitoes, but actual/37 to ob
tain possession of part of the country,
and to change the system of Govern
ment there, by overthrowing the re
public• and erecting an imperial throne
upon its rains. In consequence of our
own luta/tat troubles, we have not
been able to [Mike an active resistance
to this wiltat Vielatien of the Monroe
Doctrine. We have protested against
it, howeve'i', eertaiely will never'
allow it to be consummated. An em
pire has been proclaimed and an Em
perm. elected (by a few . officials who
obeyed the dicta 6I Othieral Forey,
the French commander,) brit there is
a vast difference bet %iTell raying and
doing. The Archduke Maximilian is
not yet on the new throne which
French bayonets have erected and al
one can support, and may live to a
good old age if he does not ascend it
until peace and unanimity aro estab•
lislied throughout Mexico—his avow
ed determination Wink; not to cross
the Atlantic until the new empire is
consolbilated, prosperous, and happy.
The war between the French and the
Mexicans may continue for years, at
its present rate of progress. Already
it has lasted over two years, and the
French occupy a very small extent of
territory. The probable ultimato aim
of Napoleon is to pay himself for the
expenses, by annexing Lower Califor
nia and Sonora to the French empire;
Ire is desirous of a Colony on the Pa
cific.
The expense of this invasion has fal
len heavily on Prtlnce, in men and
money. There are about 30,000 sol
diers uphn Mexican soil, and it is esti
mated that as many as 15,000 have
fallen in the war, or beneath the insal
ubrity of the dreadful climate. The
whole cost of this expedition is admit
ted to be not less than from fifty to
sixty million dollars, and each clay's
continued occupation increases it, of

England, once so very ready to rush
into every strife, like an Irishman
when "a free fight" is on hand—now
declares that she will not be tempted
into any European contest, though
she will continue to Maintain the full
numerical strength of her army . - and
to extend her naval defences. In fact
England has paid too melt for war,
now to care for it. There is something
it is true, in
The triumph and the sanity,
The rapture of the strife,
The earthgeeke voice of victory,
but they cost too much. Besides, with
her vast colonial possessions, England
is rarely without a contest on hand.
At present, there is that serial, or "to
be continued" war, which is a periodi
cal occurrence hi South Africa; there
is a hard fought rebellion in New Zea
land, and there is a revolt in India,
whieli is becoming more serious than
was anticipated. There, is also a Brit.

Italy, not. actually engaged in War,
(though waging a guerilla warfare

endeavoring to place her finances in a

1302 is 800,000,000 more than her rev
enue, and her public debt is 3,103,150,
070 francs, which is somewhat over
3600,000,000. Her army is 400,000
strong. but can readily be increased
to G1(1,000 men, her whole population
being about twenty-two millions. Her
fleet is being constantly increased, and
her trade and.commerce are steadily
advancing. No doubt, Victor Emman

to thrive. Tho civil war in Poland,
which has now continued .for eleven
months, without any active interfe
rence from abroad to put it down, can
scarcely end in the success of the brave
insurgents, and it seems to be • taken
for granted that the Czar will do no•

that many others are known to have

productions,.and attempted to destroy
all evidence of the amount producted
by them, has been received.
It is true the law requires farmers
to deliver their tenth; at depots not
more than eight milts from the pluee

of supplying the immedia'te' wants of
the army, to deliver' at the depots na

miles, and offering to pay for the trans
portation in eßcess of that distance is
so reasonable, that no good citizen
would refuse to comply with it.
You will, therefore, promulgate an
addition to your former order, requi- -
yi n , producers to deliver their quotas
at the depots nearest ,to them by a

in case of theitrrelubal - or 'neglect - to
