The va.t pxptinditures, iricident to the military and naval operations required for the sup pression of the rebellion, -have hitherto been- mtit with a proniptitude and cer tainty unusual in siinilar. circumstances, and the public credit has been fully main tained. The continuance of the war, however, I, and the increased dhlhurseinents- made neeessary by the mignietiteti tOrres now in 1 the field, demand your best retlf!ctions as to the best anode of providing the necessa ry reveniie, without injury to business. and with the least possible burdens' upon labor.

As compa r ed with, several 'preceding years, the receipts for the fiscal year 1861 amounted to 1t8,349;298.40, which embra ced the revenue from all the States of the Union for three quarters of that year. Is.rotwithstaticiing the cessitionlof reve nue from the so-called seceded states du ring the last fiscal year, the increase in the correspondence of the loyal states has been sufficient to prodfice a revenue dur ing the 'same year of $8,299.820190, being on $50,000 leis than was derived from-all the states of the Union during the previ ous year.' The expenditures' show a still more favorable -result. The' amount, ex pended in 1881 was $13,606M9.11. r • For the last year the amount has been reduced,to 01,125.384.13, shoWingo de crease of aboUt $1,481;000 in the expendi turei as compared with the preceding y'r, and about t3;750,060 -as compared with the fiscal year, . The deficiency in the department forth previons year4aB 54,112.,814.57. These -favorable results are in part owing to the cessation of mail service in' the insurrec tionary states, and in part to a careffil re view ofall expenditures iii thardepiUtin't in the interest of economy.

To carry out the provisions of 4e act of Congreis of the 15th of May last, I tavU caused the department of Agriculture o the United States to be. organized. The Commissioner informs me that within the period of a few months this departmeni , has established an extensive' system of - coi iespondence and exchanges,both at home and abroad,which . promises to efect highly beneficial results in the development of correct knowledge, of correct knowledge of recent improvements in agriculture, in the introduction of new *ducts, and in the agricultural statistics of the different states. Also, that it will soon be prepared to distribute largely seeds, cereals, plants; aad cuttings, and has already published and liberally diffused much valuable infer: mation,in aeticipation of a more elaborate report, which will in due time be-furnished embracing sonic valuable i teits in cheiu cal science, now in progress in the labora tory. 1.- The creation of this Department was for the more immediate- benefit ora large class of our most valuable citizen, • and I trust that the liberal basis on .whidb it has be`en organized will not only meet your approbrion; but that it will realize at no distant day,all the fondest anticipations of ha most sanguinefriends, and become the fruitful smart* of advantage to all our peo ple.

Doubtless some of those who are to . pay, and not to receive, will object ;yet the . measure is both just and economical. In-, a certain sense, the liberation of slaves is the 'destruction Of property—property no; quired by descent or by purchase, the same at. any other property. It is no less_ truefor having been often said, that the people Oftlif South are not more respon.
