Communication from Secretary McCul.
loch.
The following is the communication iron'.
the Secretary, addressed to Speaker Colfax,
which the latter laid before the House yes
terday:
Sir: By a resolution adopted in the House
of Representatives, February 23, 1865, I am
directed to communicate at the present
session facts,and information concerning
the decrease o the mercantile marine, and
to suggest such remedial legislation as I
may deem expedient. Appended to the re
solution is a communication from Mr.
Easton, United States Consul at Cork, pre
senting an outline of a plan to' encourage
and stinaulate the building of ships, in
- which he assumes the loss of our commer
cial marine in the past five years to be four
millions of tons, the total American tonnage
being stated in round numbers of five mil
lions before the late war.
It is, however, ascertained.by diligent in
quiry, that shipping to the amount of but
910,466 tons has actually disappeared from
our list from all causes;
_800,304 tons trans
ferred to foreign owners, and 110,163 tons
destroyed by pirates, being, less than one
fifth, instead of fopx-fiftlis. ~Iri, addition to
the resolution above mentioned, Ihave like
wise received a copy of another, instructing
the Committee of Commerce, of 2 the House,
to, inquire into the expediency of so amend
ing the registry laws ofthe United States as
to admit of the registry of any vessel actually
owned by a citizen of the United States,
without reference to the place of construc
tion.
I have the honor, therefore, to submit an
expression of my views on the subject. The
extsting laws exclude from the privileges of
the American ftag,all foreign built vessels,
and the vessels of domestic build, which,
after having, been once documented under
the laws, are transferred to foreign owner
ship. This policy of exclusion has been
umforraly adhered to , since the first estab
liihment of our commercial system, and no
general law has at any time prevailed at
variance with it, except the act of December
23,1852, which permits, under certain condi
tions, the registry of foreign built vessels
wrecked in the waters of the United States.
The prohibition, as far as it relates to
vessels of foreign build, rests upon the
second section of the Navigation act of
December 31, 1792, and is calculated to cher
ish and encourage domestic ship building,
which has been regarded as vital to our
commercial prosperity; and whatever
opinion may be entertained as to the pro
priety of an eventful relaxation in the strin
gency of the laws, I do not regard the
present as an auspicious moment in which
to make the experiment, involving, as it
would, so radical a change in the estab
lished policy of the Government.
The act of June 27, 1797, forbidding the
registry of vessels built and registered in
the United States, but subsequently trans
ferred to a foreigner, rests upon a different,
but quite as cogent reason, viz:—the facility
that a privilege of unrestrained transfer
would afford for the perpetration of frauds
and the evasion of the navigation laws.
During the late war, the transfer, in many
cases it is believed fictitious or fraudulent
of American bottoms to a foreign flag, has
been a favorite expedient by which to escape
the payment of war rates of insurance and
to avoid the risks of capture.
Upwards of eight hundred thousands tons
of shipping have thus disappeared from our
records, for a large portion of which the
owners are now claiming readmission,when
the risks of war are no longer imminent,
and the privileges of an American registry
are again appreciated. They transferred
their vessels with a full knowledge of the
sacrifice they incurred, regarding, it must
,be supposed, this temporary security from
losses as an equivalent for it; and I should
be unwilling to advise, in their favor, any
relaxation of .the rigor of the law.
Neither do I, on the other hand, recom
mend any additional encouragement of ship
building by allowance of drawback, or
otherwise, enjoying, as they do, an absolute
protection from foreign competition. I can
not conceive that our domestic ship yards
require any further stimulus or more ex
tended privileges.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
HUGH MCCULLOCH,

Secretary of the Treasury.
Illessaf s , e of Governor Wprth. of N. C.
RALEIGH, Jan. 19.—GoVernor Worth's
message was read before the Assembly to
day. It recommends the early appoint
ment of magistrates, and that acts of pro
visional clerks and sheriffs, performed since
the Provisional Governor was relieved, to
be confirmed by the Legislature. He re
commends that the Attorney General have
a fixed salary, to reside at the capital, and
be required to ride the circuits.
He also recommends that all laws passed
during the war unsuited to the present con
dition of the State, or in conflict with alle
giance to the Constitution of the State of
North Carolina, be repealed. He hopes the
time is not far distant when the people of
the United States will perceive we are ready
to perform all our obligations to the National
Government, and advises the adoption of
an intelligible and judicious militia code,
and the reorganization of the militia of the
State.
He reviews the condition of the banks,
and advises amendments to the charters of
banks and railroads, to allow them to take
stock in the National Banks.
The Statedebt, exclusive of the war debt,
is nearly $14,000,000. He advises the issue
and sale of State bonds to pay the interest
on the State debt, as the taxes to meet the
liabilities would be more than double the
former taxes, and, more than the people, in
their impoverished condition could pay.
The Governor would not be understood
as being despondent relative to State affairs,
and says we must rely chiefly upon oar
virtue and persevering bidustry,and that we
must protect the laborer and punish
vagrants. He, says, when the Legislature
shall have appointed justices of the peace,
and the courts are restored, the machinery
of civil government Hill be almost complete,
and - recommends a stay, law for the benefit
of debtors, if a, constitutional mode can be
devised.
He thinks there is no necessity for con
tinuing the Freedmen's Bureau after the
jurisdiction of the courts is restored, as the
blacks can get justice from the courts. He
refers the Legislature to the Commissioners
appointed by tho Convention to review the
cone touching the blacks and makes no spe
cific retommendations, but leaves the mat
ter with the Assembly.
He regrets•that our Senators and Repre
sentatives have not been adthitted to Con
gress and closes:—"l pray God a returning
sense of patriotism and justice'will ere long
correct the prejudices of the' time and carry
out the wise system so successfully begun,
and perfectly carried out,so far as depended
on Executive:authority for the restoration
of the States, •of a constitutional and har
monious Union, and that he will inspire all
of us with the wisdom and disposition to do
right."
From Savannah.
SAVANNAH, Jan. 19.—The trial of Gen.
Mercer, late of the Confederate army,
charged with murder in shooting seven
Union soldiers who had joined his rebel
army, for desertion, was finished to-day.
The testimony being favorable for Mercer,
is' it thought he will be acquited. •
The bodiei3 of the Captain, Pilot and lady
passengers-of the brig Neva, lately wrecked
off St. Johns have been recovered.
The bodies of Captain and Pilot were
found to be much mutilated, and the Mate
has been arrested on the charge of murder

XX.X3EXth CONGIMM-FIRST SESSION
. . .
CLOSE O . P . :YESTEEDAY'fi 'PROCEEDINGLEr
SENATE.—Mr..Hendriek's (Ind.) spoke at
length in oPposition to the' Freedman's
Bureau bill, alleging that the condition of
the country. rendered such legislation -un
necessary, and reading from the President's
messag,e to sustain the assertion that the
psople of the Southern States showed a
willingness to acquiesce in the results of
the war. He called attention to the report
of General Grant, and his idea of the best
means of continuing the Freedmen's
Bureau, which,,he said, differed essentially
from the provisions of the bill before the
Senate. He objected to the bill as extend
ing jurisdiction over the Northern' as • well
as the Southern States, and as an item of
expense which the people ought not to be
called upon to bear. It would cost, accord
ing to estimate, twelve million dollars for
the ensuing year, an expense within two
millions of dollars or the cost of maintain
the whole Government under the adminis
tration of John Quincy Adams.
The only section of the bill he could in
dorse was that proposing to set. apart three
millions of acres of public land for homes
for the freedmen. This he was willing to
indorse, because he believed something
ought to be done for • the freedmen. He
denied the validity ofthe titles to the land
given by General Sherman to the negroes,
under order issued at Savannah last winter,
holding that a commanding general could
not transfer one man's property to the pos
session of another, except for the time during;
which he occupied the soil as a conqueror.
The possession, he said, ceases with the.
departure of the army, and he denied the'
righte Congress to purchase homes for
freed en.
It freedmen were to be dependents, they, •
should be provided for by the States, and
not by the' General Government: but even
if the Constitution gave authority for this,
it would not be wise or expedient to enact
such a provision. in a bill in these times,
when deficiency bills run up to millions of
dollars. The seventh and eighth sections of
the bill, which extends militaryjurisdiction
over all persons to whom civil rights were
denied by law, practically abolished all
State lines, and consolidates the powers of
the Government in a manner never intended
by its founders.
Mr. Trumbull (Ill.) replied to the objec
tions urged against the bill by Mr. Hen-,
dricks. The• Freedmen's Bureau was es-J
blished for the protection and care of a large
class of persons who, as the result of the
war, had been thrown upon the hands of
the Government, and must have perished
but for its care and protection. If the Sena
tor from Indiana denied the power of the
Governitent to protect people under such
circumstancos, he should remember that
Congress recently appropriated half a mil
lion of dollars to make provision for desti
tute Indians, many of whom had rebelled
against the Government, and yet the Sena
tor from Indiana had not raised his voice
against that measure. The Government
has always taken care of such helpless
persons as were thrown upon its care. The
Freedmen's Bureau was not intended as a
permanent institution; it was only de
signed to keep it in force until the persons
made free by the war and the Constitutional
Amendment were able to take care of them
selves.
Mr. Trumbull denied that the war power
of the Government ceased with the surren
der of the rebel armies. The President and
General Grant still regarded the South as
in a state of insurrection. He read General
Grant's late order releasing from liability to
civil tribunals of the South persons in the
military service of the Government
Mr. Saulsbury (Del.) inquired of Mr.
Trumbull if he believed General Grant had
any constitutional authority to issue such
an order.
Mr. Trumbull replied that he certainly
did so believe. The Southern States bad not
teen restored to their constitutional autho
rities, and their civil governments 'were
only tolerated by the military authorities.
The Senator from Indiana had referred to
the bill as applicable to the State of Indiana.
He denied that it could have any applica
tion to Indiana unless that State became in
a state of revolh The eighth section of the
bill, he said, was explicit on this point.
While speaking on thesubject of slavery,
Mr. Trumbull was interrupted by Mr.
Saulsbury, who said that he was proud to
say that the State of Delaware was among
the first to enter under the Constitution, and
the last to disobey that Constitution. He
was glad to say that she was the last slave
holding State, and he was the last slave
holder in it. [Laugher in the galleries.]
Mr. Trumbull had no doubt that as Dela
ware obeyed the Constitution, she would
obey the amendment to it abolishing
slavery. [Applause in the galleries.]
Mr. Trumbull proceeded with his reply to
Mr. Hendricks's objections, asserting the
right of Congress to pass the bill before the
Senate.
The question was then taken on the
amendment confirming the titles to lands
under General Sherman's order issued at
Savannah, for three years, instead of for
ever, as in the original bill. The amend
ment was adopted. Pending the considera
tion of this subject the Senate adjourned.
HousE.—The Speaker laid before the
House a. communication from the Secretary
of the treasury in regard to the increase of
our mercantile marine, and suggesting im
mediate legislation in response to the reso
lution of the House of February 23d, 1865,
which was referred to the Committee on
Commerce.
Mr. Grinnell introduced a bill, which was
referred to the Committee on the Post Office,
regulating compensation to Postmasters, by
providing that the Postmaster General shall
readjust salaries once a quarter,
when there
is a discrapency of ten per cent. between the
basis of commissions and salaries allowed.
On motion of Mr. Stilwell, a resolution
was adopted instructing the Committee on
Indian Affairs to report, by bill or other
wise, who constitute the tribe of Miami In
diana, in the State of Indiana, the names of
persons having, it is claimed, been added to
the list without the consent of the tribe, to
receive annuities.
Mr. Hooper, from the Committee on Bank
and Banking, introduced a resolution, which
was adopted, calling on the Secretary of the
Treasury to inform the House what appor
tionment of the circulating notes, authorized
by the national currency act, has been made
in the different States, the District of Colum
bia and the Territories, and as required by
the amendment to that act, approved March
3, 1865.
On motion of Mr. Cullom, a resolution was
adopted instructing the Committee of Ways
and Means to inquire into the expediency of
repealing _that at portion of the internal revenue
law in relation to stamp duties on written
instruments, and referred. to in Schedule B
of said law.
The House resolved itself into a Commit
tee of the Whole on the state of the Union,
Mr. Blaine (Me.) in the chair, and proceeded
to the consideration of the bill making ap
propriations for the, naval' service fo , r the
year ending June'3o, 1867.
The item making an appropriation of
$105,000 for the, purchase of Geavy, ISland,
Portsmonth Navy Yard, gave rise tpja de
bate._ „
After somedebate, the House struck, out
the clause by a vote, of 67 against 40.
The bill was then laid aside, ' and the
House proceeded to the consideration,of the
President's Annual Message, when -
Messrs: Deming and Smith discussed the
President's Reconstruction policy.
The Committee then rose, and the House
adjourned until Monday.

A Discovery or a ••Sell."
The following reminds one of Edgar
A... Poe's "Gold Bug" :
A correspondent of the Waynesburg
(Pa.) Republican gives the following ac
count of a strange discovery which was
made near Waynesburg a short time
since, and vouches for the truth of the
same: ''Some time since as Surveyor J.
L. McConnell was passing down Smith
Creek, about one mile from town, his
attention was arrested by some charac
ters on a stone at the road side. Upon a
close examination he found that the in
scription on the stone was as follows:
"Due East, 2-4-6." Studying a while
over the matter, he came to the conclu
sion that due east a certain distance to be
represented by the figures 24 6, there
was something curious. fixing his
compass on the spot, he measured the
exact distance of 2 rods 4 feet and 6
inches. Striking his compass staff in
the ground he ascertained that under
neath was a metallic substance of soine
kind. Removing theearth for a few feet
around,what was his surprise at finding
an iron box—and what wits more sur
prising he found on opening it that it
was filled with silver coin of all denomi
nations from a tive cent piece to oue dol
lar. Proceeding back to the stone which
had first arrested his attention—on turn
ing it over he found inscribed on the
other side as follows: "Due west 2-4-6."
Supposing something equally curious at
a distance represented by the figures 2 4
6 in a due west direction—he proceeded
to measure the distance two rods, four
fee, six inehesdue west. Upon sinking
the compass stati at that point he ascer
tained that underneath was some metal
lic substance. Removing some earth
from about the spot imagine his surprise
at finding an iron box exactly like the
other, upon openina . b which he found to
contain gold coin of all denominations
from a dollar to an eagle. Hastily se
lecting some specimens of the contents
of both boxes he filled the excavations
and returned to town. Specimens of the
contents of both boxes can now be seen
by any one doubting the truthfulness of
this discovery, by calling on R. W.
Downey at Waynesburg, Pennsylvania,
in whose possession the specimens were
placed for exhibition to the public."
PENSIONS TO THE WIDOWS OF GENERALS'
—The House Committee on Invalid Pen
sions, on Friday, through Mr. Perham, of
Maine, reported adversely on the petition
a l s
of the widow of apr-General E. V. Sum
ner, praying for increase of pension from
thirty to fifty doll per month, The Com-
Mittee could not consent to an increase of
pension to those who are already receiving
thirty dollars per month, while so many
poor widows of common soldiers are only
receiving eight dollars, This is supposed to
settle a large class of cases of the same kind
now before the Committee.
The same committee also madean adverse
report on the petition of Mary McSain. The'
petition sets forth that Captain McSain,
while he was commissioned only as captain,
was, at the time of his death, acting in the
capacity of lieutenant-colonel, and prays
that the widow may receive a
in pension cor
responding to . the command which he
was acting at the time of his death.
The report states that during the war
many officers were killed or wounded while
exercising a'higher command than that for
which they were commissioned and
Mustered, and that the committeeis opposed
to 'granting pensions for a higher rank than
that in which the officer was actually'com
missioned. As there was no opposion to
the report in the House, it is supposed that
ell similar cases before the committee will
be disoesed of in the same way.
%C.EIIIi.TERY AT BALL'S BLUFF.—The re
mains of :our soldiers who fell in the unfor
tunate battle of Ball's Bluff,.October 21st,
IS6I, were hastily buried after the engage
ment, in shallow trenches or graves. The
thin covering of earth gradually washed
away from over the graves, leaving the
honored remains, in many instances, ex.=
posed to viow. Lieutenant-Colonel James
M. Moore, quartermaster, has recently se-.
lected a site and located a national burial
ground on the spot where the gallant Gen.
Baker fell. The cemetery is on a bluff,

A RELY, SELL.A most amusing affair
•occurred in Callao just prior to the com
mencement of hostilities between. Chili and
Spain. An ex-attache of our Legation in
Peru, who loves the bottle not wisely but
too well, became slightly elevated by a suc
cessful effort to drink fifty cocktails in fifty
minutes, and wishing to celebrate the event,
arranged himself in a jaded uniform of a
post-captain of our navy, and hired a boat
for the purpose of paying a few nautical
visits. The first vessel visited was the flag,
ship of the Peruvian Squadron in those
waters,where he gravely announced himself
as Chargé d'Affaires for-the United States to
Chili. The courteous :admiral, too ; easily
deceived, gave him a thundering salute of
thirteen guns, the number appropriate to
the supposed rank of 'distinguished
guest. Elated at the high honors, this bibu
lous amateur diplomatist 'essayed in turn
the French, Engish and Spanish men-of- war
lying in that harbor, and fi d om each received
the honors of booming cannon and flaunting
Sags—much to the delight, no doubt. of the
mock "Chargé," who, for his brief hour of
splendid triumph, was willing to relapse
into a lifetime of Obscurityi, We can ima
gine the subsequent wrath of the grave
Spaniard and choleric Englishman, when
they discovered the true character of their
guest.—Cor. Wilkes's Spirit.
