annually pass in and out of the harbors. Some of our most valuable interests and most vul nerable points are thus left exposed. This class of vessels of light draught, great speed, and heavy gnus would be formidable iu coast defence, the cost of their construction will not be great, and they will require but a comparatively small expenditure to keep them in commission. In time of peace they will prove as effective as much larger vessels, and often more useful. Oue of them should be at e>erv station where we maintain a squadron, and three or four should be constantly on our Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Economy, utili ty, and efficiency combine to recommend them a s indispensable. Ten of these small vessels would he of incalculable advantage to the na tal service, and the whole cost of their con struction would not exceed two million three hundred thousand dollars, or $230,000 each. The report of the Secretary of the luterior is worthy of grave consideration. It treats of the numerous, important,and diversified branch es of domestic administration intrusted to him by law. Among these the most prominent are the public lands and our relations with the Indians. Our system for the disposal of the public lands, originating with the fathers of the Re public, lias been improved as experience point tbe way, and gradually adapted to the growth and settlement of our western States and Ter ritories. It has worked well iu practice. Al ready thirteen States and seven Territries have beeu carved out of these lands, and still more thau a thousand millions of acres remain un sold. What a boundless prospect this presents to our country of future prosperity and power. We have therefore disposed of 303,802,404 acres of the public lands. Whilst the public lands, as a source of reve nue, are great importance, their importance is far greater as furnishing homes for a hardy and independent race of honest and industrious citi zens, who desire to subdue and cultivate the soil. They ought to be administered mainly with a view of promoting this wise and benev olent policy. In appropriating them for any other purpose, we ought to use even greater economy thau if they had been converted into money and the proceeds were already in the public treasury. To squander away this rich est and noblest inheritance which any peo ple have ever enjoyed upon tiie objects of doubt ful constitutionality or expediency, would be to violate one of the most important trusts ever committed to any people. Whilst Ido not de ny to Congress the power, when acting bona fide as a proprietor, to give away portions of them for the purpose of increasing the value of the remainder, yet, considering the great temptation to abuse this power, we cannot be too cautious in its exercise. Actual settlers under existing laws are pro tected against other purchasers at the public sales, in their right of pre-exeinption, to the fxtent of a quarter section,or 100 acres of land. Tue remainder may then be disposed of at pub lic, or entered at private sale in unlimited quan tities. Speculation has of late years prevailed to a great extent in the public lttuiis. The conse quence has been that large portions of them have become the property of individuals and companies, and thus the price is greatly enhan ced to those who desire to purchase for actual srttiomeut. In order to limit the area of spec ulation as much as possible, the extinction of the Indian title and the extension of the pur veys ought only to keep peace with the tide of emigration. If Congress should hereafter grant alternate suctions to States or companies, as they have done heretofore, I recommend that the interme diate sections retained by the government, should be subject to pre-cxeinptiou by actual settlers. It ought to he our cardinal policy to pre serve the public laud ;ts much as may be for actual settlers, arid tliis at moderate prices We shall thus not only beat promote the pros perity of the new States and Territories, and the power of the Union, but -hall secure homes for our posterity for inauv generations. The cxtcntion of limit- has brought within or jurisdiction many additional and populous tr.'.es of Indians, a large portion of which arc wild, intractable, and difficult to control. Pre datory and warlike in their dispositions it is im possible altogether to restrain them from com mitting aggressions on each other, as well as ;;pun our frontier citizens and those emigrating to our distant States and Territories. Hence expensive military expiditions are frequently necessary to overawe and chastise the more lawless and hostile The present system of making them valuable presents, to influence them to remote at peace has (.roved effectual. It is believed to be the ' titer policy to colonize them in suitable locali ty, where they can receive the rudiments of education ami be gradually induced to adopt ■ ahits of industry. 9o far as tin? experiment "as k-en tried it has worked well in practice, , i ir wiil doubtless prove to be less expensive taan the present system. The whole number of Indians within our ter ritorial limits is believed to be, from the best data in our I ntcriorflcpart meat, about 325,000. The tribes of Cherokee*, Choctaws, Chieka tows and Creeks, settled in the territory set ®part for tlmm'west of Arkansas are rapidly ad ducing in educatiou and in all the arts of civ :|,tiition aiid self-go.vernincnt ; and we may in ':"ige the agrecalile anticipation that at no ve ry distant day they will be incorporated into the Union as one of the sovereign States. It wiil be seen from the report of the Post roaster General, that the Post Office Oepnrt- Bieut still continues to depend on the Treasury, it has been compelled to do for several years P a, t, for an important portion of the means of 'training and extending itsfoperations. Their ra i'idgrowth and expansion arc shown by a dc *ennial statement of the number of post offices, °-' d the length of post roads, commencing with year 1527. In that year there were 7000 pt offices ; in 1837, 11,177 ; in 1847, 15,- . an( ' ~U4 discontinued, leaving a net incrtasc 1(, -l The postmasters of 368 offices arc '['pointed by the President. The length of post roads in 1827 was 105- •yjmiiei ; in 1837, 147,242 miles ; in 1847, miles ; and the year 1857, there are y'.P&l miles of post roads, including 22,590 rj les of railroad, on which the mails are trans ported. The expenditure of the'department for the " " yr-ar ending on the 30th June, 1857. as by the Auditor, amounts to $11,567,- To defray, these current expenditures was to the credit of the department on ,j' e of July, 1856, the sum of 789,599 ; gross revenue of the year, including the an la allowance for the transportation of free prodoeed $8,053,951, and the re "um,r Wa * BQ Pphed by tbe appropriation from * V**ary 0 f $2,250,f>00. granted br 'he act of Congress approved Angnst 18, 1850, and by the appropriation of $060,883 made by the act of March 3, 1857. leaving $252,063 to be carried to the credit of the department in the accounts of the current year. I com mend to your consideration the report of the department of the overland mail routes from the Mississippi river to San Fraucisco. Cali fornia. The route was selected with my full concurrence, as the one, in my jodgment, best calculated to attain the important objects con temnlated by Congress. The late disastrous monetary revulsion may have one good effect, should it cause both the government and the people to return to the practice of a wise and judicious economy both in public and private ex{>eiiditures. An overflowing treasury has led to habits of prodigality and extravagance in our legislation. It has induced Congress to make large appro priations to objects for which they never would have provided had it been necessary to raise the amount of revenue required to meet them by increased taxation or by loans. We are now compelled t pause in our career, and to scrutinize our expenditures with the utmost vigilance ; and in performing this duty,l pledge my co-operation to the extent of mv constitu tional competency. It ought to be observed at the same time that true public economy does not consist in withholding the means necessary to accomplish important national objects intrusted to us by the constitution, and especially as much as may be necessary for tbe common defence. In the present crisis of the country it is our duty to confine our appropriations to objects of "this character, unless cases where justice to individ uals may demand a different course. In all cases care ought to be taken that the money granted bv Congress shall be faithfully and economically applied. Under the Federal Constitution " every bill which shall have passed the house of Repre sentatives and the Senate shell, before it be comes a law," be approved and signed by the President ; and, if not approved " he shall re turn it with his: objections to that house in which it originated." In order to perform this high and responsible duty sufficient time must be allowed the President to read and ex amine every bill presented to hitn for approval. Unless this lie afforded, the Constitution be comes a dead letter in this particular : and even worse, it becomes a means of deception. Our constituents, seeing the President's appro val and signature attached to each act of Con gress, are induced to believe that he has actu ally performed his duty, when, in truth, noth ing is, in many cases, more unfounded. From the practice of Congress, such an ex amination of each bill as the Constitution re quires has been rendered impossible. The most imnortant business of each session is gen erally crowded into its last hours, and the al ternative presented to the President is either to violate the constitutional duty which he owes to the people, and approve bills which, for want of time, it is impossible he should have examined, or, by his refusal to do this, subject the country and individuals to great ; loss and inconvenience. Resides, a practice has grown up of lute years to legislate in appropriation bills, at the last hours of the session, on new and import ant subjects. Tiiis practice constrains the President either to suffer measures to become law s which he does not approve.or to incur the risk of stopping the wheels of the government by vetoing an appropriation bill. Formerly such bills were confined to specific appropria tions for carrying into effect existing iuv.s and the well established policy of the couutrv, and little time was then required by the President for their examination. For my own part, I have deliberately deter mined that I shall approve no bill which I have not examined, and it will be a case of extreme and most urgent necessity which shall ever induce me to depart from this rule. 1 therefore respectfully, but earnestly, recom mend that the two houses will allow the Pres ident at least two days previous to tae adjourn ment of each session within which no hill shall be presented to him for approval. Under the existing joint rule one day is allowed ; but this rule has beeu hitherto so constantly sus pended in practice, that important bills contin ue to be presented to him up to the very last moments of the session. In a large majority of eases uo public inconvenience can arise from the want of time to examine their provisions, la-cause the constitution lias declared tiiat if a bill be presented to the President within the last ten days of the session lie is not required to return if, cither with approval or with a veto " in which case it shall not be a law." It inay then lie ovr, and be taken up and passed at the next session. Great inconveni ence would only be experienced in regard to appropriation bills ; Gut fortunately, under the late excellent law allowing a salary, instead of a per diein, to members of Congress, the ex pense and inconvenience of a called session will be greatly reduced. I cannot conclude without commending to your favorable consideration the interest of this District. Without a representative on the floor of Congress, they have for this very very reason peculiar claims upon onr just re gard. To this I know, from my long acquain tance with them, they are eminently entitled. JAMES IJUCII AN AX. W.VStfIXOTOJf, Dec. 8. 15.57. NARROW ESCAPE. —011 Tuesday afternoon of last week, two children, a son and daughter of Rev. John Guyer, of ILHefonto, were play ing together in rooms unoccupied at the time by the family, and in their amusement the lit tle girl endeavored to pass into the room occu pied by her brother, a lad some eight or ten years of age. The boy prevented his sister's ingress by closing the door, and thinking to frighten her, seized n pnn which he supposed unloaded, and fired it oiff for that purpose.— The gun however being loaded with shot, sev eral of them passed through the door and lodged in the side of her neck and head. The shot wore extricated by Dr. Fairlanib, and the wounds though severe, we understand are not considered dangerous-. An old German, named Mathias, well known as the owner of the Seven Mile House, near Wilkcsbarre, on the Easton Turnpike, was found dead in a well attached to his property with a large stone chained to his body, and marks of violence on his head. The suppposed murderer, who had been living with the deceas ed for a short time jKist is now in jail.
