To the-Senate - arid House of Representatives
. of the Confederate States of America:
Io'§ - with satisfaction that I Welcome your
presence at an earlier day than that usual
for your session, and with confidence that
I invoke the aid of your counsels at a time
of such public exigency. The campaign
which was, comrneneed almost simultape
ously with your session early in May last,
and which was still in progress at your ad
journment in the nfiddle of June, has not
yet reached its.elose. It has been prosecuted
on a scale and' with an energy heretofore
unequalled. When we revert to the condi
tion-of our country at the inception of the
operations of the present year, to the mag
nitude of the preparations made by the
enemy, the number of his forces, the accu
mulation of his warlike supplies, and the
prodigality with which his vast resources
have - been lavished in the attempt to render
success assured; when we contrast the num
bers and means at our disposal for resist
ance, and when we contemplate results of a
struggle apparently so unequal, we cannot
fail, while rendering the full meed of de
served praise to our generals and soldiers,
to perceive that a Power higher than man
has willed our deliverance, and gratefully
to recognize the protection of a kind Provi
dence in enabling us successfully to with
stand the utmost efforts of the enemy for
our subjugation.
At the beginning of the year the State of
Texas was partially in possession of the
enemy, and large portions of Louisiana and
Arkansas lay apparently defenceless. (If
'the Federal soldiers who invaded Texas,
none are known to remain except as prison
ers of war. In Northwestern Louisiana a
large and well-appointed army, aided by a
powerful fleet, was repeatedly defeated, and
deemed itself fortunate in finally escaping
with a loss of one-third of its number, a
large portion of its military trains, and many
transports and gunboats. The enemy's
occupation of that State is reduced to the
narrow district commanded jry the gims of
his fleet. Arkansas has 1 wen recovered, with
the exception of a few fortified posts, while
our forces haVe penetrated into central
Missouri, ;1111)11E11g to our oppressed breth
ren in that State an opportunity, of which
many have availed themselves, of striking
for liberatitin from the tyranny to which they
have been subjected.
( in the east of the Mississippi, in spite of
sonic reverses, we have much cause for
gratulation. The enemy hoped to effect
during the present year, by concentration of
forces, the conimest which he had previous
ly failed to accomplish by more extended
operations. Compelled, therefore, to with
draw or seriously weaken the strength of
the art ides of occupation at differentpoints,
haw afforded us the opportunity of recov
ering possession of extensive districts of
our territory. Nearly the whole of North
ern and - Western Mississippi, of Northern
Al:Omuta, and of Western Tennessee are
again in our possession; and all attempts
on these States have been battled. (In the
(lake (wean (lad gull or the Confede
racy the whole success of the enemy, with
the enormous naval resources lit his coin-
Mand, has lit‘en limited to the rapt ureof the
outer defences of Mobile Bay.
If we now turn to the resul LS accomplish
ed by the
,Lwo great armies, so confidently
relied on liy the invaders as sufficient to se
cure the su I iversion of our Government and
the subjection our • people to foreign
domination, we have still greater cause thr
devout gratitude to Divine power.' In Sonth
western Virginia, successive armies which
threatened the capture of Lynchburg and
Saltville have been routed and driven out
of the country, and a portion of Eastern
Tennessee recommered by our troops. In
Northern Virginia extensive districts, for
merly occupied by the enemy, are now free
front their presence. In the lower Valley,
their General, rendered desperate by his
inability to maintain a hostile occupation,
hits resorted to the infamous expedient of
converting a fruitful land into a desert by
burning its mills, granaries and homesteads
and destroying the food, standing crops,
live stock and :igrieultural implements of
peaceful non-combatants. The main army,
idler a series of defeats in which its losses
have been enormous; after attempts by
raiding parties to break up our railroad
communications, which have resulted in
the destruction of a large part of the cavalry
engaged in the work ; after constant repulse
of repented assaults on our defensive
is, with the aid of heavy reuffiircements,
lint with, it is hoped, walling prospect of
further progress in the design, still engaged
in an effiirt, commenced more than four
months ago, to capture the town of Peters
- burg. . .
The army of General Sherman, although
succeeding at the end of the summer in ob
taining possession of Atlanta, has been un
)10 to secure any ultimate advantage from
this success. The same general who, in
February last, marched a large army from
Vicksburg to Meridian with no other result
than being forced to march back again, was
zible, by the aid of greatly increased num
bers, and after much delay, to force a pas
sage trout I 'hattanooga to Atlanta, only to
be for the second time compelled to with
dLw on the like 01 his advance, without ob
taining control of a single mile of territory
beyond the narrow track of his march, ad id
without gaining aught beyond the precari
ous 1)01 , ,, , ,i011 of a few fortified points in
which he is compelled to maintain heavy
garrisons, and which are menaced with re
capture
The lessons afforded by the history of
this war are fraught with instruction and
encouragement. Repeatedly during the war
have formidable expeditions been directed
tlieludity against points ignorantly sup
posed to be ,U• vital importance to the Con
federacy. Some of these expeditions have,
at immense cost, been successful, but in no
instance have the promised fruits been
reaped. Again, ill the present campaign,
was the delusion fondly cherished that the
capture of Atlanta and Richmond would, if
id - Meted, end the war by the overthrow of
our thivernment and submission of our
people. We can now judge by experience
how unimportant is the influence of the
former event upon our capacity for defence,
upon the courage zuld spirit of the people,
and the stability of the Government. We
May, ill like manner, judge that if
the campaign against Richmond had
restilu,i in success instead If fail
ure; if the valor of the army, under
the leadership of its accom plislied com
mander, had resisted in vain the overwhelm
ing masses which were, on the contrary,
decisively mpulsed ; if we had been corn
(l lleil to evacuate Richmond as well as At
lanta, the Confederacy would have remain
ed as erect and defiant as ever. Nothing
could have been changed in the purpose of
its I;overnnient, in the indomnitable valor
of its troops, or in the unquenchable spirit
of its people. The baffled and disappointed
foe would in vain have scanned the reports
of your proceedings, at some new legisla
tive seat, fir ally indication that progress
had been made in his gigantic task of' COll
- free people. The truth so patent
to us must (.re long he forced upon the re
luctant Northern mind. There are no vital
points mi the preservation of which the con
tinued existence of the Confederacy de
pends. There is no military success of the
enemy which can accomplish its destruc
tion. Not the fall of Richmond, nor Wil
mington, nor Charleston, nor Savannah, I
nor Mobile, nor of all combined, can save
the enemy from the constant and exhaust
ing drain of bloOd and treasure which must
continue untiThe shall acknowledge that no
peace is attainable unless based on the re
cognition.Of Our indefeasible rights.
Before'leaving this subject, it is g,ratify
ing-to assure you that the supplies essen
tially requisite for public defence will be
found, as heretofore, adequate to our needs;
and that abundant crops have rewarded the
labor of the farmer, and rendered abortive
the inhuman attempt of the enemy to pro
duce, Ikv devastation, famine among the
people.
11=
It is not in toy power to announce any
change in the conduct of foreign Powers. No
Such action has been taken by the Christian
nations of Europe as m ight justly have been
expected from their history, from the duties
imposed IT international law, and front the
claims; of humanity. It is charitable to at
tribute their conduct to no worse motive
than indifference to the consequences of a
struggle which shakes only the republican
portion of the American continent ; and not
to ascribe to design a course calculated to
insure the prolongation of hostilities.
No instance in history is remembered by
me in which a nation pretending to exercise
dominion over another, asserting its inde
pendence, has been the first to concede the
existence of such independence. No case
can be called to toy mind in which neutral
Powers have failed to set the example of re
cognizing
the independence of a nation,
when satisfied of the inability of its enemy
to subvert its Government ; and this, too,
in cases where the previous relation between
the contending parties had been confessedly
that of other mother country and depend
ent colony; not, as in our case, that of co
equal States united by Federal compact. It
has ever been considered the proper function
and duty of neutral Powers to perform the
office of judging whether in point of fact the
nation asserting dominion is able to make
good its pretensions by force of arms, and if
not by recognition of the resisting party, to
diScountenanee the further continuance of
the contest. And the reason why this duty
is incumbent on neutral Powers is plainly
apparent, when we reflect that the pride and
passion which blind the judgment of the
parties to the conflict cause the continuance
of active warfare, and consequent useless
slaughter, long after the inevitable gesult
has become apparent to all not engaged in
the struggle. So long, therefore, as neutral
nations tad by recognition of our independ
ence to announce that, in their judgment,
the United States are unable to reduce the
Confederacy to submission, their conduct
will be accepted by our enemies as a tacit
encouragement to continue their efforts, and
-., as an implied assurance that belief is enter
tainedby neutral nations in,the success of
their designs. A direct stimulus, whether
intentional or nOil, is thuS Sppliedsem.-

Thudisreof.thinjust. humane, and
Chriatian - Public ,-duty, by :the nations of
Euroe is the more remarkable from the
fact that authentic expression has long
Since been given by -the Governments of
both France and England to the conviction
that the United States are unable to con
quer the Confederacy.. It is now more
two years since the Government of Fiance
announced officially to the Cabinets of Lon
don and St. Petersburg its own conclusion
that the United States were unable to
achieve any decisive military success. In
the answers sent by those Powers no inti
mation of a contrary opinion was convey
ed; and it is notorious that in speeches,both
in and out of Parliament, the members of
her Britannic Majesty's Government have
not hesitated to express this conviction in
unqualified terms. The denial of our right
under these circumstances is so obviously
unjust, and discriminates so unfairly in
favor of the United States, that neutrals
have sought to palliate the wrong of which
they are conscious by professing to con
sider, in opposition to notorious truth and
to the known belief of both belligerents,that
.the recognition of our independence would
be valueless without their further interven
tion in the struggle; an intervention of
which we disclaim the desire and mistrust
the advantage. We seek no favor, we wish
no intervention, we know ourselves fully
competent to maintain our own rights and
independence against the invaders of our
country, and we feel justified in asserting
that, without the aid derived from recruit
ing their armies from foreign countries, the
invaders would, ere this, have been driven
from our soil.
When the recognition of the Confederacy
was refused by Great Britain in the fall of
1862, the refusal was executed on the grolind
that any action by Ifer Majesty's Govern
ment would have the effect of inflaming the
passions of the belligerents, and of prevent
ing the return of peace. It is assumed that
this opinion was sincerely entertaiuc•.l ; but
the experience of two years of unequalled
carnage shows that it was erroneous, and
that the result was the reverse of what the
British ministry humanely desired. A von
trary policy—a piney just to us—a policy
diverging from an unvarying course of con
cession to all the demands of our enetnies—
is still within the power of her Majesty's
Government, and would, it is fair to presume
be productive of consequences the opposite
of those which have untOrtunately followed
its whole course of conduct form the i,iii
inencenient of the war to the present lime.
In a word, peace• is impossible without
independence, and it is not to lie expected
that the enemy will antleipate neutrals in
the recogniiirm of that holependence. When
the history of tins war shall lie fully his
closed, the calm judgment of the impartial
publicist will, for these reasons, lie until 1.•
to absolve the neutral nations of Europe
from a share in the moral responsibility
for the myriads of human lit is that
have been unnecessarily sacrificed during
its progress. The renewed instances
in wine!' foreign Powers have given
us just cause of complaint need
not here be detailed. Tlu• extracts from
the correspondence. or rue State I wpart
ment, which accompany this uu•ss;ige, wil-1

given without detriment to the public in-
Wrest, and We 11111,4 reserve for the rut.,

FIN A Ni'ES.
Your .special attention is earnestly in
vited to the report of the SecrotafN . •of the
'l'reasur2,-, submitted in conOwillity with
law. 'Flue facts therein disclosed r.. far n.,aa
discouraging, aml demonstrate that, with
judicious legislation, INI• shall be enabled
to meet all the exigencies of the Ni :ll' from
our abundant resource , , and avoid, :it the
same tittle, such an accumulation
as would render at all doubt MI our capacity
to redeem it.
The total receipts into the treasury fir the
two quarters ending on the :zith of •:•4eptcm
ber, 111114, were t;141:0.191,: , :to, %Odell stun,
added to the balance of t , 11u5.252,712 . 2 that re
mained in the treasury on the Ist of .April
last, forms 0 total of 37:2:1,471.2%. (It this
total, not far Ertel, that is to say,
:127, have been applied to the extinet ion of
the public debt, whilt , the total roponditures
have been 11272,375,50)5, leaving a balance in
the treasury, on the Ist ta' l ( tetolter, Ist; i,
$108,4:35,420.
The total amount of the public debt, as
exhibitiki on the hooks of the Register of
the Treasury, on the Ist of ()ember, Lsill,
was x1,147,9;0,205, of whi c h S. - ,:z1,:;40,11911 w e r e
funded debt, bearing interest,t-.25t1,55t),1511
were treasury notes of the new issue, and
the remainder consisted of the font ter
Of treasury 11011,, Which will he converted
into other forIIIN of debt, and will rase to
exist :LS carrenoy on the3lst nt next month.
The report however. exidains ghat, in
consequence of the idisence ut eertnin re
turns front distant officers, the amount
of the debt is less, by about twenty-one:old
a half millions of dollars than appe,rs tt
the hooks of the Ilegister, and that the
total publie debt on the first of last month
may be thirty considered to have been
126,38 1,095.
The increase of the public dela during the
six months front the lst April to the' lst ()e
-tcher, was rather
than $16,0(0,000 per month, and it will be
apparent, on a I/0111 , 4;11 ,0* rite report, 111:11
this augmentatit 11:1%, 11.,11
1111(1 a positive reduction of the amount
would have been effected, hut tbr certain
defects in the legislation on the subject of
the finances, which are printed out in the
report, and which seem to admit el' cas . y
remedy.
In the statements tint uuulle 010
debt is omitted. It consists only of the un
paid balance of the loan known as the cot
ton loan. This balance is hut 4:2,2n0,0nn,
and is adequately provided for v ;Wont
250,000 hales of cotton owned by the ( tov
eminent, even if the cotton he raked as
worth six pence per pound.
There is one item of the public 11,111 not
included in the tables presented, to which
your attention is required. The bounty
bonds promised to our soldiers by the third
section of the act of 17th of February, 10111,
were deliverable on the Ist of 4 ietolier. The
Secretary has been unable to issue them by
reason of an omission in the law, no time
being therein fixed 1;a. the payment of the
bonds.
The aggregate appropriations called till.
by the different departments of the ( iovern
meld, according to the estimates sul quit ted
with the report, for the sib months ending
1111 the tleth .1 tine, Iotis, amount to ;7 , 4'20.10'2.-
179, while the Secretary estintatesthat there
will remain unexpemied, out of former ap
propriations, on the Ist of January, Ise. 1, ,
balance of ,:.54(17,418,204. It would, there
fore, seem that former estimates ha ye been
largely in excess of actual expenditures,
and that no additional appropriations are
required for meeting the needs of the public
service up to the Ist July of next year. In
deed, if the estimates now presented should
prove to be as much in excess of lit mil ex
penditures as has heretorore been the case,
a considerable balance will still remain un
expended at the close (W toe first halt of the
ensuing year.
The chief difficulty to be apprehended in
connection with our finances results from
the depreciation of the treasury notes, which
seems justly to be attributed hy the Se,re
tary to two causes—redundancy in :11110Ullt
and want of confidence in ultimate redemp
tion—for both of which remedies are sug
gested that will commend themselves to
your consideration as being practicable as
well as efficient.
The main features of the plan presented
are substantially these: Ist. That the faith
of the Itovernment Ile pledged that the notes
shall ever remain exempt front taxation.
2d. 'That no issue shall be made beyond
that which is already authorized by law.
3d. That a certain fixed portion of the an
nual receipts from taxation during the war
shall be set apart specially for the gradual
extinction of the outstanding . zuntaint, un
til it shall have been retluced to $100,0on,non;
and 4th. 'The pledge and appropriation of
such proportion of the tax in kind, and for
such a n tntber of years zinc!' the it 11111 Of
peace, as shall be sufficient the Moll re
demption of the entire circulation. The tie
tails of the plan, the calculations on which
it is based, the eflicieney of its operation,
and the vast advantages which would re
sult from his success, are fully detailed ill
this report, and cannot be fairly iwesented
in a form sufficiently condensed for this
message. I doubt not it will receive front
You that earnest and eandid consideration
which is merited by the i11111011:1.11(.1• ()f the
subject.
The recommendations ()flit, report for the
repeal of certain provisions of the ta x'laws,
which produced inequality in the burden of
taxation ; for exempting all Government
loans from taxation on capital, and from
any adverse discrimination in taxation on
income deprived front them; for placing the
taxation on banks on the same footing. 115 on
other corporate bodies; fur securing the
payment into the treasury of that portion
of the bank circulation which is Ruble to
confiscation because held by alien enemies;
for the conversion of the interest-bearing
treasury notes now outstanding into coupon
bonds, and for the quarterly collection of
taxation—all present practical questions fir
legislation, which, if wisely devised, wilt
greatly.improve the public credit, and alle
viate the burdens now imposed by the ex
treme and unnecessary depreciation in the
value of the currency.
The returns of the Produce Loan Bureau
are submitted with the report and the in
formation is conveyed that the Treasury
Agency in the trans-Mississippi Department
has been fully organized, and is now in
operation with promise of efficiency and
success.
The provisions heretofore made to some
extent, for increasing the compensation of
public officers, civil and military, is found
to be in some places inadequate to their
support ; perhaps not more so anywhere
than in Richmond, and inquiry, with a
'view to appropriate remedy, is, suggested
to your consideration. Your notice is also
called to the condition of certain officers of
the Treasury who were omitted in the laws
heretofore passed for the relief of other, pub
lic officers, as mentioned in the rePOrt of
the Secretary of the Treasnry.
DEPARTMENT OF WAR.
The condition of the various branches of
the military service is stated in the accom
panying report of• the Secretary of War.—
Among the suaestions made for 14gislative
actionwith.aview. to Mid to the numbers
and efficiency of the army, B.llof which will
receive your consideration, there areftiome
prominent. topics which 'ineritAtecilienotico.
- The exentptliin loin military duty tow
: accorded by law to all persons - engaged lil
'certain specified pursuits or professions is t'
shown by experience to be unwise, nor is it i
believed to be defensible in theory. Tile de: I.

-
versally recognized as the paramount-polit
ical duty of every member of society; and
in a form of government like ours, where
each citizen enjoys an equality of rights:mil
privileges, nothing can be more invidious
than an unequal distribution of duties and
obligation. No pursuit, no position should
relieve any one who is aide to do active duty
from enrolment iii t h e army, unless his
functions of services are more useful to the
defence of his country in another sphere.
But it is manifest that this cannot be the
raise with entire classes. .\ll telegraph op
erators, workmen in mines, professors,
teachers, engineres, editors and employees
of newspapers, journeymen printers, shoe
makers, tanners; blacksmiths, millettl, PhY
sicans, and the numerous other classes tnen
tioned in the laws, cannot, in the nature of
things, be either equally necessary in 'their
several professions, nor distributed through
out the country in such proportions that only
the exact numbers required are found in
' each locality, nor can it be everywhere im
possil de to replace those within the con
script age, by men older and less capable of
active field serviciis. A discretion should
be vested in the military authorities, so that
a sufficient n flintier of those essential to the
public service might be detailed to continue
the exercise of their pursuits or professions,
but the exemption front service of the en
tire classes should be wholly abandoned.
It atfords great timidity tiirabuses, offers the
temptation, as well as the ready means, of
escaping service by fratidulent devices, and
is one of the principal obstructions to the
efficient operation of the conscript laws.
A general militia law is needful in the in
terest of public defence. The Constitution,
by vesting the power in Congress, imposes
on it the duty of providing "for organizing,
arming, and disciplining the militia, and
for governing such fart of them as may be
employed in the service of the Confederate
States. - The great diversity in the legisla
tion of the severn I States on this subject, and
the absence of any provision establishing
an exact method t,ir calling the militia into
the Confederate are sources of cut-
Atarrassment which ought no longer to be
suffered to ire tie.
The leg,islation in relation to the eavalfY
demands change. Th, policy of requiring
the men to furnish their own horses has
proven pernicious ill many respects. It in

and is the cause of frequent mid prolonged

1 . 11, :WI II:LS 111,1111C011 result than was
I,and further pn, sionisrequired
to rom ler it orloacions. But my present
purpose is to invite your consideration to the
proprim y of a raweal omairiew ion in the
theory 4/i th,. lair.
Vie \\ ed merely as pnmerty,:nui,therefore,
as the subject of impressment, the serviceor
labor of the slits,' has been frequently
claimed fin . short peri o ds, in the cimstruction
id''defensiye works. The slave, however,
hears rehilion 10 the Slate—
amt. person. "below or last February
contemplates only the relation of
he slave to the t w ister, and limits
the impressment to it cortain term of
service. Bin Ille purposes entuuera[rd
in the ilia, instruction in the manner or en
camping, marching. and pio•king trains is
needful, so that even in this limited em
ployment. length of service adds greatly to
the value of the lieirro ' s labor. hazard is
also encountere , l in ;ill the positions to which
negroes can he assigned for sent, wit h the
army, and theAuties required o them de
mand loyalty' and zeal. lit this aspect the
relation or person predominates so fitr ays to
render it doubt fut , whether the private right
of property ran consistently and beneficially
be continued, and it would scent proper to
acquire for tld service the entire pro
perty in the la 1.'1..1 . the slave, and to pay
therefor due 1111015 . 0,111i , m, rather than to
impress his labor for short terms; and this
the 111iiro especially as the effect of the pre
sent Ito' would Vent this entire property in
all cases Whore the slave might be 'lvan
tured after o,,nipmsittion for his loss had
been paid to the priVate owner. Whenever 1
theentireplsificrly its lhoserviisv of a slaye is
thus
Thal in preSelaed, by what tenure he should
1. held. Should he be retained in servitude,
or should his emancipation be held out to
him as a reward for faithful service, or
should it lie granted at once on the promise
of such service; and if emancipated, what
action should lie taken to secure for the
freed man the permission of the State front
which he Was witted rasa to reside within
the limits after the 'lose of Ins public ser
vice. The permisAion would doubtless be
more readily accordHl as a reward for past
faithful service, arid a double motive for
zealous discharge of duty would thus be
offered to those employed by the Govern
'
meat, their freedom, and the gratification
or the local attachment which is so marked
it characteristic of the negro, and forms so
powerffil an incentive to his act,ion. The
policy of engaging to liberate the negro, on
his discharge after service faithfully ren
demi, seems to im• preferable to that of
granting immediate tganumission, or that
or retaining 'hint in servitude. If this policy
should recommend itself to the judgment
or oaigress, it is suggested that, in addition
to the duties heretofore performed by the
slave, he might be advantageously employ
ed as pioneer and engineer laborer ; and in
that event, that the number should be
augmented to forty thousand.
Beyond this limit and these employments
it does not seem to me desirable, under ex
isting circilMStances, to go. A broad moral
distinction exists between the use of slaves
as soldiers in the defence of their homes,
and the incitement of the same persons to
insurrection against their masters. The
one is justifiable if necessary; the other is
iniquitous and unworthy of a civilized peo
ple; and such is the judgment of all writers
on public law, as well as that expressed
and insisted on by our enemies in all wars
prior to that now waged against us. By
none have the practices, of which they are
now guilty, been denounced with greater
severity tfian themselves in the two wars
with Great Britain in the last and in the
present century; and in the Declaration of
Independence of 1776, when enumeration
was made of the wrongs which justified the
revolt from Great Britain, the climax of
atrocity was deemed to be reached only
when the English monarch was denounced
as ,having " excited domestic insurrection
amongst us."
The subject is to be viewed by us, there
fore, solely in the light of policy and our so
cial economy. When so regarded, I must
dissent from those who advise a general
levy and arming of the slaves for the duty
of soldiers. Until our white population
Shall prove insufficient for the armies we re
quire and can afford to keep in the field, tb
employ ass soldieF the news, eke ktteiterie
beAn trainettittrbi b tal ImiT4s 'irtlatorer,
igr the white'an trectisihinieß. from his
youth to the useof fire-arms, would scarce
fly be deemed wise Or advantageous by any ; '
Mid this is the question new, before us.—
But should t he alternative ever be presented
of subjugation or the emnloyspent of. the
slave as a soldier, there seems no reason to .
doubt what should then be our decision.
Whether our view embraces what - would,
in so extreme a case, be the sum of misery
entailed by the dominion' or the enemy, or
he restricted solely to the effect upon the
welfare and happiness of the negin popula
tion themselvss, the result Ni - ould be the
same. The appalling demoralization, suf
fering, disease, and ath which have been
caused by partially substituting the invad
ers' system of policy for the kind relation
previously subsisting between the master
and slave, have been a sinflieient demonstra
tion that external interference 'with our in
stitution of domestic slavery is productive
of evil only. If the subject involVed no
usher consiaeration than the Mere right of '
property, the sacrifices heretofgre made by
our people have been such as to permit no
doubt of their readiness to surentier - every
possession in order to secure thtdr independ
ence. But the social and political question,
which is exclusively under the:control of the
several States, has a far widernnd more en
during importance Wan that Of pecuniary
interest. In its manifold phases it embra
e.s the stability of our republican institu
tions, resting on the actual political equality
of all its citizens, and includes the fulfilment
of the task which has been so happily be
gun—that of Christianizing and improv
ing the condition of the Africans who
have, by the will of Providenc'e been placed
in our charge. Comparing the results of our
own experience with those Cif the experi
menLs of others who have borne similar re
lation to the African race, the'people of the
several States of the Conftderacy have
abundant reason to be satisfied with the
past, and to use the greatest circumspection
in determining their course: These con
siderations, however, are rather applicable.
to the improbable contingency of our need
of resorting to this element of resistance
than to our present condition. If the recom
mendation above made, for the training of
forty thousand negroes for the service indi
cated, shall meet your approvl, it is certain
that even this limited ntn'iier, by. their
preparatory training in intermetediate duties,
would form a more valuable eserYe force
in ease of urgency, than th t ree-fold their
number suddenly called front
while a fresh levy could, to a certain extent,
supply their places in the special service
for which they are now employed.
OTHER DEPARTMEVTS
The regular annual repotl of the Attor
ney t;eneral, the Secretary of the Navy', and
the Postmaster General are appended, and
give ample intbrmation relative to the con
dition of the respective departments, They
contain suggestions for legislative provis
sions required to remedy such defet:ts in the
existing laws as have been disclosed by ex
perience, but none of so generzd or impor
tant a character as to require that I should
do more than recommend them to your
favorable consideration.
The disposition of this lioierninent for .t
peaceful solution of the issues WhiCh tie
enemy has referred to the arbitrantent of
arms has been too often manifested, and is
too well known to need new assurances.
But while it is true that individuals :nal
parties in the United States have Indio: tetl a
desire to substitute reason for force, and by
negotiation to stop the further sacrifice of
huntan life, and to arrest the calamities
which now afflict both cotmtries, theauthor
ities who control Ihe Crovermnent of our
enemies have too often and too clearly ex
pressed their resolution to make no pesos
except on terms of our unconditiolud sub
mission and degrt lion, ti, leave us any
hope 01 the cossati of hostd tits it des Mail tits
delusion
delusion of their iility to conquer 11,, iS
dispelled. AIIIIIIW those whoJire already dis
posed for peace,many are acttated by pri i lc i
-1110 and by disapproval and abhorrence of the
iniquitous warfare that their Government
is waging, widle others are moved by the
conviction that it is no longer to the interest
of the United States to conitme a struggle
in which success is unattainable. When
ever this fast-growing conviction shall have
taken firm root in the minds of it majority
of the Northern people, there will be pro
d need that willingness to nviitotiate for peace
which is now confined to our side. Peace is
mailestiv impossible imless desired by both
parties to this war, and the disposition for it
among our enemies will I.IC best :Ind natal
certainly evoked by 1110 demonstration on
our part of ability and kinsitaken deterfirin
ation to defend our rights, and to hold no
earthly price too dear for their purchase.
AVhenever there shall be on the part of our
enemies a desire for peace, there will be 110
difficulty ill finding means by which nego
tiation can be opened. but it is obvious that
11,, agency can be called into action until
this desire shall be mutual. When that
contingency shall happen, the ( lovernment,
to which is confined the treaty-making
power, can he at no loss for Means adapted
to accomplish so desirable an end.
In the hope that the day will soon be
reached when, - under Divine favAr, these
States may be allowed to enter on their for
mer peapeful pursuiis, and to develop the
abundant natural resources with which
they are blessed, let 11S, 'then resolutely
continue to devote our united and unim
paired energies to the defence Of our homes,
our lives, and our liberties. This is the true
path to peace. Let us tread it with confi
dence in the assured result.

have,been used by persons afflicted with vari

ment of the blood. This is derived chiefly from
the food we cat; hut If the food is not properly
digested, or if, from any cause whatev r, the
necessary quantity of Iron Is not taken intethe
circulation, or becomes reduced the whole sys
tem suffers. The bad" lood will irritate the
heart, will clog up the lungs, will stupefy the
brain, 'twill obstruct the liver, and will send its
disease,producing elements to all parts of the
system; and every one will suffer in whatever
organ may be predisposed to disease.
Thv great value of
IRON AS A MEDICINE
is well known and acknowledged by all medi
oat men. The difficulty has beau to obtain such
a prepaaat ion of it as will enter the circulation
and assimilate at once with the blood. This
point, says Dr. Hayes, Massachusetts State
Chemist, has been attained in the Peruvian
syrup, by combination in a way before un
known.

hue would be led to suppose, from the practi
cal demonstration given of the wonderful heal

eases, that its efficacy as a Therapeutic would
be doubted by no one, and yet we occasionally
come across an individual who will not believe,
simply because the Medical Faculty , as a gen
eral thing, have not taken hold of it., to them
we would sayothat there is hardly a Brafth
wait's Retrospect published but what refers
to the healing properties of Electricity, and
that if the faculty understood more about it
they would prefer it to all other remedies, also,
that some of the best Physicians in the Vnited
States have adopted it. Hereafter, however, in
order to gratify all, there will be at the lusti
