our 'readers; a brief abtract of Ito con

Foreign affairs are reasonably saslsfae
tory; and nothing is said about them, gen
erally. Mexico is a theatre of civil war,
and wo remain neutral. No mention is
made of the tact that French bayonets
have overthrown the republic and estab
lished a crown, with the tacit consent of
Lincoln and Seward; to the destruction
'of the Monroe doctrine.
Reference is made to South American
Republics, China, Japan and Egypt., but
of no-moment.
Telegraphic communication between
Amer'ca and Great Britain is believed bo
probable.
The ports of Norfolk, Fernandina and
Pensacola - are open to trade, and it is sug
gested that foreign shippers had better
confine their trade to these and other open
ports, rather than continue blockade run
ning.
Notice has been, given to Great Britain
that af,er six mouthS we shall increase our
naval' force On the Canada border, if then
deemed necessary.;
Emigration is active, and should be en
coiseged as a means of replenishing the
country from the ravages of war.
On revenue and taxation we quote his
statement
" The receipts during the year from all
sources upon the basis of warrants signed
by the Secretary of the Treasury, includ
ing loans, and the balance in the Treasury
on the first day of July, 1563, were $l,-
894,796,007.62, and the aggregate dis
bursements upon the same basis were $l,-
298,058,101.:3. Deduct from these am'ts
the amount of the principal of the public
debt redeemed, and the amount of issues
in. substitution therefor, and. the actual
cash operations of the treasury were : re
ceipts, 8884,076,646.77; disbursements,
8865,234,087.80, which leaves a cash bal
ance in the treasury of $18,842,558.71. Of
the receipts there were derived from cus
toms, $102,316,152.99; from lands, $5BB,
333.29 ; from direct taxes, 8475,648.96 ;
from internal revenue, 8109,741,134.10;
'from misceiiancous sources, $47,511,448.-
40; and from loans applied-to actual ex
penditures, including former balance,
$47,443,929.13. There were disbursed
for the civil Service, $27,505,599.46 ; for
pensions and Indians, 87,317,930.97. for
the War Department, 860,791,842.97; for
the Navy Department, 05,733,292.79;
for interest of the public, debt, 853,685,-
421.69; making an. aggregate of $805,-
234,087.85."
Heavier taxation in future is advised.
The public debt on record on the Ist of
Jaly.was nearly one billion and three
fourths, and next July Ist it will be about
two and a quarter billions.
It is reeommended that a law be passed
allowing persons to invest money in bonds
and have them exempt from levy or at
tachment for debtl A very dangerous
expedient, calculated to lead men to evade
payment of honest debts, and - cheat their
creditors.
Ile adviscs that the national banking
systera lie made to awallo* up all 'state
banks ; 584 of these banks are in opera
tion. This is a widely extended and loose
ly conducted revival of the old snake that
Andrew Jackson scotched when Presi
dent. It was hoped that be had killed
the serpent ; but abolition shoddy has ta
ken possession of the remains, and put 40-
cents-on-the-dollar life into it.
- A mere reference is made to the war
department ; but no opinion is expressed
as to whether results are satisfactory or
otherwise. Of the navy he says results
are highly satisfactory; but •the country
knows that in consequence of the dead
head manager, our commerce is moat
ly driven from the ocean by a few re
bel cruisers. Our navy consists of 871
veitiels carrying 4,610 guns and 510,396
tun% and manned by about 51,000 men.,
Otir navy has c.snitired during the year
324 vessels, and during the war 1,379, of
which 267 are steamers. The gross val
ue of prizes sold afnbunts to a million and
a third of dollars. Nothing is said about
vessels lost. The cost of the navy . depart
ment is over two bandied and thirty
eight millions of dollars.
The revenue from the post office busin
ess for the year ending June 30, was near
ly twelve millions alia'a half of dollars,
and the expenses ' about ttOo handfed
thousand dollars more -than the receipts.

." The„'war continues." So says the mes
sage. 411 the important lines and posi
tions held a year ago are maintained, and
our armies have steadily advanced, so
that some of the border States have " pro
duced reasonably fair crops."
Reference is made to Sherman's trip in
Georgia, but the result is not known, and
conjecture therefore not indulged. He
speaks of twelve thousand persons organ
izing loyal governments in Arkansas and
Louisiana ; says more extended but less
definite movements of like nature exist
in Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee.—
Here be makes -a sad mix. Congress re
fused to admit bogus. members from the
two first and last named States ; while
Missouri has bad her members, and Ken
tucky was carried last year, as we were
told, by the "Union party ;" hitt as she
this year, in a fair election, voted almost
solid against Lincoln, he slanders her by
counting her among rebel or bogus states.
He boasts a little of the new abolition
Constitution in Maryland—not mention
ing that it was forced upon the people by
federal bayonets, with a very small ' vote.'
He refers to the proposed amendment
to the Constitution to abolish slavery in
the whole country, says that although
this Congress • rejected the amendment
last winter, he hopes that they will yield
now, because it will pass next year, in the
next Congress, anyhow. But this Con
gress will show hips that his abolition
amendment will not pass, for men, honest
men we mean, will not yield principle, tho'
defeated by any means. Abolition agita
tion tends to intensify and justify rebell
ion and render reunion more improbable,
and should therefore be specially opposed
by Congress.
Reference is made to the elections. All
parties professed a desire to maintain the
I.Joion, and the elections passed off in good
brder. As the vote for President is a lit
tle larger than four years ago, he cun
ningly alleges that we can carry on the
war. forever, and still have more men l He
conceals the fact that owing to there be
ing four candidates running then, a full
vote was not polled ; while the natural in
crease, even over a full vote, should be
much larger than it is over the light vote.
He states that no attempt will be made
to negotiate for peace and union. He
says there are some at the south who de
sire peace and re-union, and the number
may increase. When the war began, as
Lincoln then said, a majority of the south
ern people were then . for the,Union ; but
it is well known that his abolition war pol
icy has nearly wiped out that • feeling ;
how, then, can it revive until the,aboli
tion policy be abandoned 1 He says the
south can have peace at any moment by
laying down their arms and submitting to
the Constitution But this statement is
false, because his emancipation proclama
tion pledges the army to liberate and keep
free all slaves in the rebel States—there
fore he would carry on the war while a
negro was held in slavery, for a few sen
tences further on be says be will not with
draw the proclamation.
He refers to his offer of a general am
nesty and pardon one yedr ago, upon spe
cific terms, (which insisted that slavery
should be given up) but says it may be
withdrawn.
He again, as a year ago, affirms that
be will not retract or modify his
emancipation proclamation, which pledges
him to continue the war until the liberty
of all slaves, in rebel states, is obtaffied
and maintained. Ho closes with these de
ceitful words :
" In stating a single condition of peace,
I mean simply to say, that the war will
cease on the part of the government
whenever it-shall have ciMsed on the part
of those who began it." '
This is falsehood ; but under another
President, it might and should be true.
If he retract his emancipation proclama
tion, it could be true under him. But to
carry that out, he would have to still use
the army to free the slaves. He ought
even yet to retract it ; it might not affect
rebel leaders, but it would rouse and re
store a Union sentiment' that would held
overthrow Jeff. Davis. But now it is
treason's right arm. To retract it by and
by may be too late !

It is at lebgth definitely ascertained that:

The exact - lino-of march of this eagifty is

Savannah, which penetiwted to a.point 6
mites out of town, and then rentrned . to
the main body, which returned to Sher
man's camp.
On Dec. Ist, the robs evacuated Millen,
and Sherman entered it next day. Millen
is 100 miles from the' seacoasts' On ther
3d he is reported as having begun a slow
march from Millen in a southern or south
eastern direction, and more' in direction
of Darien or Brunswick, than Savannah.
These towns are near the seacoast south
of Savannah.. A transport with mails for
Sherman's army, left Washington on the
Bth, with sealed orders. The large fleet
of transports with food and ammunition
for his army, which has been at anchor so
long off Fortress Monroe, is also thought
to have sailed. The administratios only
guesses at his destination, knowing noth
ing of his movements except wpit the
public knows.
The Good Time Coming.
The Republicans now have everything
in their own hands and Abraham Lincoln
can manage the war as he did the election,
in "my own way." We have been told
all along at any time daring the past six
months that if Lincoln was reelected 'the
"moral effect" of his endorsement by the
Northern people, would cause the rebels
to throw down their arms in despair, and
make all haste to get back into the Union
—that the election of Lincoln would be
better than half a dozen or more good si
zed victories in the field, better Shan acon
taking Richmond, and that it would end
the war and restore the Union at once.
Well, Lincoln is elected and the people
are looking to see

Beauties of Bailee.
Extract from a letter of a citizen from
Co!within county, Pa., who was thrust in
to Fort Mifflin, 'Pa.:
Our treatment was inhuman. When
first taken and incarcerated in this cell,
not a stool or a bench to rest our weary
limbs on ; not a cup, or knife, or fork, or
plate—and these few indispensable articles
were purchased at exhorbitant prices, and
vexations delay. Forty-four of us in one
cell, (damp and dark) without a separate
place to attend to the ealls of nature, it is
no wonder than one of our number was
soon laid in his test resting place,..and ma
ny others prostrated by disease.
—They had no bed, and not even two
boards to lie on till after some time.
ilarThe President's message and the
Secretary's report of the Treasury, have
caused an unpleasant feeling, and some
uneasiness, among capitalists. It is belie
ved that the radicals' programme, part of
which is Thad Stevens' gold bill, though
defeated for the present, will be ultimately
carried through Congress. Many parties
are already talking of shipping of their
gold abroad in anticipation of the passage
of such a bill.
WAR the London papers without ex
ception, express their extreme gratification
at Mr. Lincoln's election. They sincerely
believe that while be is at the head of the
government of the United States it cannot
be anything else than a second-rate pow
er. They are also of opinion that the re
sult of the election insures the ultimate
severance of the Northern, and Southern
States. Hence John Bull rubs his hands
gleefully, and is as pleased at the result
as the most ardent rebel or radical in this
country.
Lir. Lincoln's Latest Joke.
The President's message says to the
Democrats of this Congress : Your vote
prevented the two-thirds majority for the
constitutional amendment abolishing
slavery at the last session. Now, please
lay aside your constitutional scruples and
your devotion to local self-government,
and change your vote. Make up a two
thirds majority of this Congress, c4rty the
amendment, because hi the next Congress
we shall have a two-thirds majority, and
you can't help yourselves.
Being eager to crack a skull or snatch a
purse, scamp A says to honest 13, come
help me now in this job. - I can't do it
alone to-day, but have an arrangement
which will make it a " sure thing" to-mor
row. But let's do it now; the sooner the
better. Be my accomplice, since you can't'
prevent the crime.
