Extradition. The delivery of Colonel Aimtjelt.ES to the Cuban Government lias opened an ani mated question among the opponents of the Administration as to its right and liberty of surrendering a refugee criminal ■without special treaty anti some form of public adjudication. The freedom of in ternational law, in this respect, .is .very fully and fairly discussed in a long article of yesterday’s Tribune., giving the founda tion of natural and-moral-principle, tradi tion and custom, whereupon the form of the Government’s recent action is so' broadly based. To these excellent argu ments we ndd.a word or two of explana tion, and, for the enlightenment of a ques tion so variously misconstrued and so im perfectly understood, give a', simple and condensed statement of its moral and reason. Among all nations at peace lias existed what might be called a police comity—an clement of agreemgnj, part of the very nature of governments and peoples, and not specially defined by treaties. Ancient nations had their sanctuary of refuge for aliens who' were -unfortunate under the: law, or political offenders, and even shield ed, by sufferance, the doubtful fugitive ■who bad committed a lesser offence. But in no case was it tolerable, under this hos pitable -custom, to receive; one guilty of outright crime, such as robbery and mur der, and the authorities even put to death those who violated the right of refuge to cover heinous offences. The same custom iu spirit has prevailed among later na- tions, and is part of the understanding of international law. No government has as sorted a natural; or legal claim to ask for a political offender, while every government has acquiesced in the delivery of robbers, and murderers. -.-... The web of international complication : would be too flue and complex for the most microscopic statesmanship to unthread if eveTy fugitive offender against-the State had to he sought for and given up. This was an easy and ordiriary conclusion, and required no other testament than common understanding. Thus, uationsnever thought it worth while to ask the extradition of po- litieal offenders, or those guilty of minor offences trader--tho special laws of States, deeming suck fugitives good riddance. But where the refugee tvtts a rebel against the law of the whole world, no nation would shield him, . “ Such criminals,” says Gro tius, “are eitlierto bepuiuslicd, delivered' up, ■or obliged to quit their refuge. ” “It is. our duty," said Demosthenes, “ to have compassion/ on such: whose misery is not owing to; their crimes, but misfortune.” . The right of refuge, according to inter national understanding, . can never lie in sisted upon by one guilty of a crime against. the law of nature and nations. The State has the undoubted liberty to deny the right of any criminal to its refuge, .and tho privi lege or duly of ' surrendering; him. The twenty-seventh article of the treaty of 1795 ■ between the United States and Great BrD tain, 'providing forthe delivery of criminals Charged with murder and forgery, was merely declaratory of the international law. /While; special treaty-making is thought necessary in' case of forbidden :* evil (mala prohibitum'), it is unnecessary in cases self-wicked {mala se. ) Acting .upon the privilege which his crime of slave trading left open to the Government, Col. Akoueixes was extradited. Before Ame rican law and moral sense ho Was a crinii "V nal kindred with the pirate, robber; and murderer. Before the law of three nations , Jie was a special eulpMt, charged with a moral and not a political crime. His; case was to this, extent international, and onr Government-had the morai liberty of de livering Mm up for international benefit. In other words, Col. Akgtjeixes could not, by any possibility, under our : own law, bd considered a political offender, -.'.while; Ms own Government distinctly charged him withMnqral. crime. As a slave-trader ho had no right to refuge; and no claim upon charity. The supposition that other offi cials of Cuba are engaged in - the; slave trade does not lessen Ms crime in the eyes of our law, and Ms case deserves no more sympathy than that of the slave-pirate, who; is condemned in our own courts. The. Go ; vomment was thus free to use this doubly-; condemned criminal for its own benefit and that of nations. ; It might have done what . was unnecessary unclei’ the-ciiSnmstaiices—• .anil made a special; treaty of extradition; but, as representing legal principles, the case .of AbguetMes was worthless, and. his sur render virtually establishes or confirms an understanding by which- criminals against , our own laws may be; reclaimed, while it may effect a blow at a foreign, system of slavery which has so long furnished en couragement and sustenance to that in. the South. < . The Moral Aspect of the Fair. In. this age- of nioaey-getting we are wb accustomed to- estimate results by the-low. standard of dollars and cents, that we are apt - to overlook, or at least undervalue, higher and "nobler considerations. The almost ~ colossal sum that shall flow from this source into .the coffers of the Sanitary Commis sion, from thence- carrying health and herding to thousands of our country’s brave defenders, demands heartfelt grati tude, of course. But this is not the sole reason for the indulgence of an allowable pride, and the utterance of sine-crest thankfulness. "VTc regard the great Phila delphia Pair, now about to close, as a sublime moral achievement, that shall con stitute, -in all coming time, art epoch in : our city’s brightest annals. That such an . edifice, so. unique, so extensive, so symme trical, so truly beautiful, and so packed, in yits mazy labyrinth of avenues and depart ments, with the rarest and .costli est produc tions' of nature, genius,, industry, and art, should have been summoned into being, in all its stately and magnificent proportions, within the brief space of a month or two, and this, too, whilst'the land is .being con , vulsed r with a desolating civil war, and whilst thousands of our most accomplished artisans arc absent on remote battle-fields, does not this fill the reflecting mind with amazement ! And 'does it hot immeasura bly augment; our astonishment, that all this has been wrought by men and women whom llie “ chivalry” of the vaunted South arc stigmatizing as an “inferior race”-r -even by Northern “ mvdutih !" Richmond may boast of her “Libby Jail’’ and her . “Belle Island.” We, of the City.of Bro ■ theriy Loy.o, shall; ever confront her with the greatest moral triumph of the present century—the Sanitary Pair of 1884, held on Logan Square. The Mexican regency appointed by Na poleon itavc found it‘necessary, in order to give Maximilian a popular welcome to tlie tlirone of Montezuma, to forbid the utter anee of all names but those of Maximilian and his wife. On the occasion of the coro nation^.. the new “ Mexican National Hymn,Vwritten in Francei ffy Auijer, is. to-be sung. Meanwhile, Bazaine is shoot ing guerillas by the score, and live dollars per head is offered for Mexican deserters. Truly, it is well said this Mexican farce is almost too ridiculous for belief. In connection with a recent Peace Speech, of Mr. Fernando Wood, it -is holed that at the beginning of the war ho was in favor of fighting to the bitter end, and for this purpose helped to raise the Mozart Regiment, 'of New York. What has disappointed this eccentric and impla cable politician ? Surely, lie was more truly a peace man then than he is now— when he supported the war than when lie encouraged the riots/ LITTER IltOM ** OCCASIONAL.” Washington, JuueO-7, 1864. Congress, for more than a month, has boon working with groat energy to closo its business, so tliatqan adjournment may bp effected by the 4li> of July. The Senate has sat'day and- night, with intermission for sleep and rest —beginning at twelve at noonday, and separating near the “ noon of night,” as Dryden has it. Vast and complicated as the legislation of Congress is in time of peace, it is incalculably in creased in time of war. And the labors of a conscientious public man arc propor tionately heavy ; especially if he is at the head of a leading committee. Men of this class arc a most interesting study to tue, and I often wonder if the people kuow bow much they have to do. We are now so much absorbed in military movements, and so ready what aro called tho politicians, that we too rarely think of the perplexing and harassing Tesponsi hilities of those who occupy: impor tant civil positions. ' . The President, with always-beginning and never-ending duties and calls—to hear everybody, from the statesman to the private soldier; to sit in Cabinet council; to receive foreign ministers and delegations of every kind and degree ; to visit hospitals and camps; to endure partisan appeals and adjust party quarrels; to entertain company; and, more than all, to read over heavy manuscripts, and to write multitudinous notes on every conceivable, subject—this, indited,.is a life of thankless and incessant toil and agony. And ; what is true of; him is true of nearly all his constitutional advisers. : No, repose and no relaxation for any one of them»supposing each to attend to his duties. Mr. Stanton is , probably more absorbed in lsis work than any of his colleagues. He seems to have given up everything to his public obligations. You scarcely meet him t in society. . Eminently, social by nature, he has . apparently made up his mind to postpone all personal grati fications;*; to the common cause. The War Department is a blaze of gas light till far in Urn night; and his assistants -are, at. Ms side early and late. The. ponderous, questions of finance con fided_ to Mr. Chase are not less exacting in th.e amount of thought and care they de mand. Affecting vast and vital interests, and requiring every hour new and novel ■ -remedies, the mind capable .of adjusting and solving them must bo taxed to the uttermost. Of Mr. Seward’s part in this mighty drama, we may form some idea when we reflect upon the delicate and stea dily increasing peril of our nation with other; Governments, not the least of which is Franco-Mexican usurpation.; Remember, that other nations are all the more watch ful in such a time as this, and t-lieir vigi lance makes counter-vigilance imperative. Nor are our own great duties as chief ac tors on the' stage of .civilization, less or lessened because we are in a condition of war.. We cannot pause in our own career,, nor consent to fall behind in, the race with others. And if you have read the splendid State paper o'f Mr. Seward, sent about tw# weeks ago to the Senate,--supporting and urging upon, Congress co-operation with Russia in the completion of what is not wrongly called “The World's Telegraph,”, you can realize what a brain a Secretary of State must have in this era. What is true of these three Departments is true also of the Navy Department, of which Mr. Welles is the chief. There is not so much pressure upon hint as upon Mr, . Stanton, and, his own calm, and imper turbable' bearing shows. that ho would bo equal to it if it -were so. .But I intended to •speak’ of the work of the heads of the great Congressional, committees, to illus , trat-e. the idea of how much is devolved upon the men who are mot in the army, and vet whose. efforts are so essential - to the army. Take the chairmen - of the Committees of Finance and Ways and Means, and ; of . Military Affairs, in the two Houses of Congress : William Pitt Fessenden in the Senate and Thad deus Stevens in tho House, and Henry Wilson in the Senate and Robert (J. Sehenck in the House.' Look at'.the stu pendous: questions laid .'before' the Finance Committee, involving' the, most important and reaching the most obscure interests. The tax bill is a volume in itself, and every line of it requires reflection and revision. The tariff bill is'only next to it iff import ance. Then we have the -hank bill and the loan hill, and all these are to be followed by the various appropriation bills. In the; . Military Committees the work is absorbing and constant. Every dajuhrings forth a new suggestion, full of new responsibilities. , And so closely connected and intertwined . are the relations of the l.Govemmefft, that no step .-can ;be /taken by the legislative branch on; these and other kindred subjects that docs not exact correspondence or con sultation. , Somebody must do this immense - labor. You will tell me that, there are plenty of men willing to do it. But are they able ? And will they, bring to it that patience and research, and utter abac-. gation of self without which nothing last-, hog has over been consummated t . And this, if .they are all; the while to' be sub jected to attack in Congress and abuse out of it ? Take Senator Fessenden, at the head of the Senate Finance Committee. I think that quiet gentleman has; toiled for three months'past, in and out of the Senate, sixteen hours a day. He is always at his' post-. He is not only faithful to his special trust at the hands of his committee,, but keen; and vigilant in his attendance to debates in the body of which he is -a member. / Nothing seems .to escape his attention; and ! often wonder how that’ap- ’ parent ly fragile form can bear up under such perpetual attention and exercise of brain. 'With Stevens in the House, his coadjutor at the head of the Ways and Means, the case; is the same, or still, stronger : for Stevens is an older man than Fessenden. But he never seems to he asleep, and . certainly he never is in the working hours of Con gress. Hour after hour, even until tho Speaker’s hammer falls at midnight, he is - on the watch in his committee or in the House, leading in the' dis cussions, and impressing friend and foe by tho dignity of his eloquence and the copi ousness of Ms information. I will not ask how such men are compensated for all this persevering industry, genius, and: patriot-; ism. Let us believe that their reward is in themselves. - But .those they benefit and serve would not be doing a distasteful thing if that which they do for them and the country were remembered without suspi cion and recorded without abuse. >. Occasional. 11 ONiojp for the Army” is the now’ sanitary call from Virginia. Do we ever think how much this humble, vegetable may contribute to the health of tlie soldier? Vegetables are . needed absolutely, for his refreshment and sustenance,’and.physicians tell us that onions are the most invigorating, and, indeed, the most vegetable of vege tables. They are anti-scorbutic; and, from nature’s experience and necessity,' we arc told that tlie onions are the first and last vegetables of which out hard-faring heroes despoil the rebel track-gardens..

There is no longer much doubt but that a portion of Johnston's army from Georgia has been brought to reinforce Lee in the vicinity of Richmond and Petersburg. Gen.- Polk’s division is known to be here. Large trains of troops are reported to have been passing from Richmond to Petersburg yester day and last night. Everything points to the fact that Johnston is appointed to the subordinate cum-' mand here,-and is bringing many of his troops with bins.—A. V. Herald. DETAILS FROM PETERSBURG—NO GENE RAL ENGAGEMENT—HI YSTERIOUS MO VE MENTS OF THE ENEMY. Headquarters 2d Corps, Army op the Potomac, Friday, Juno 24. , - No general engagement has as yet taken place. Our lines remain the same, in groat-part, as esta blished forty-eight hours ago, since whlch.fimo ir regular firing has been kept up at every point. .The unfortunate turn in events on Monday afternoon,; by which ovor: a thousand prisoners of /tie Ist Bri gade, 3d Division, and five; pieces of Clark’s bat tory, were lost by a surprise by the enemy, has caused a strict vigilance to be kept along tho entire line. . -- ’ -. . : Last ovening tho enemy manoeuvred considerably to the right and left, and the sth Corps, with detach ments of othors, were constantly, kept active in countermarching to guard against any demonstra tion on oar left or centre. // : : This morning, while a portion of the 6th Corps, on our left, were inarching across an open field, to relieve the troops at the front, a terrilio lire was opened-on them by the enemy, with artillery. The exposed movement of bur men gave hint a clear aim and accurate range ibr a few moments: This was. soon brought; to an end by a little artillery practice. by our guns. .• About tho time of this at tack a furious cannonade was heard on the right, which proved to he Smith’s bombardment of Peters burg, which continued fur an hour. • . This morning Longstreet and A. P. Hill are, it is ascertained, moving; toward Weldon, having va cated their entrenchments in oar front.

The rebels having closed the James river by obstructions at Fort Dar- Itog,leaving a gate for their own convenience, it became necessary for us to do the same; otherwise our navy wonld.be forced to concentrate as high a 3 they could ascend and watch' the rebel movements,. General Grant found ail the iron-clads and his . best wooden vessels attire upper.end of tits lino waiting for an attaek, which was not likely to taka place, because the, keeping, of our vessels up there by a tnonaee or threat was all the rebeis dosirod.

AN AMENDMENT OFFERED. Mr. POWELL offered an Smondraent, as a now sec tion, that any officer in the executive,military, oruavai service of the Unßed States,, who. shall arrest aay per sons not engaged in the military or naval service or in rebellion against tbe United States, shall deliver them to the proper civil authorities, on a penalty of a : fine of $5OO to $l,OOO and imprisonment from three months to five years, . Air. I’owell made a few remarks in favor of tho pro porittoru Mr. DAVIS procoededat length to denounce the Ad ministration for arrests, and referred especially to the caieof Vallandigham. He expressed regret that that individual d’d not have physical power to cut down to the around those who attempted to arrest him in his own house or lis. castle. . He regarded the preservation of the great rights of the citizen as more vital and impor taßtrhnu the subjugation of tho rebellion and the pre st rv&tion of the Union with Massachusetts included.. Mr. SHERMAN said every man bad a right to a fair trial. If.persons simply arraign the Admioistratlou,as the Sesntorfrom Kentucky frequently does,in too violent for a deliberative assembly, he has a right todoso. But if-he con, mils anyact with intent to. aid tho public enemy, he was guilty, and should be pun ispfcd.. ’ " YhUandighamuwhen ia the House of Representatives, in his own State, and elsewhere, was allowed most full and free expression of his oppoiition to the Ad ministration, hut when, he went into a section of his own Slate where open iufculnwdimtilon existed, and aided the public enemy by acts calculated to fan tho flame of insurrection, he was justly arrested. A.riot sprung up in Holmes county, and the rioters were ar rested and imprisoned under an indictment upon charge of treason. Yallardigham went into an adjoining county, and, in the presenro of a largo , concourse of excited persons, some, of them insurgents themseLves, indulged in iau gusge evidently intended id excite to the commission of mnner crime, subjecting him properly to 'arrest by mili tary law for openly, aiding and abetting tho rebellion. He hud power to appear either to Chief Justice Taney, of the Supreme Court at Baltimore, to Judge Swag-re at Columbus, or ro Judge Leavitt at Cinciunafi. He chose the latter, a Democrat, a judge for thirty years, - ap pointed ;by JtckSGß, who affirmed the decision of the military court that his was a military offence punish able by military law. The decision Was approved by the Attorney Generaiand br the President, who decided that it was not a mere civil wrangle in which he was engaged, but a military crime. He was not merely talking opposition to the Government, but aiding the public enemy. It is a distinction that should not bo ignored. THE ARREST 07 HENRY I*. ZIMMERMAN. Mr. 6AULSBURY submitted a resolution that tho (Secretary of "War inform the Senate whether Henry F. Zimmerman, of tho city of Washington, has -been ar-' rested by order of the War Department, and if so, on wli.it pp ■ . Objected to by Mr, SHBRMAN, and laid over undo? tho rules'.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL., Mr. HOWARD, from the committee on the subject, reported back the Pacific riilroad bill from the House with a eubstitufc, beingthc Senate bill, which, has here tofore paeeed the Senate. THE SENATORS FROM AiiKANSAS. Mr. TRUMBULL, from the Committee on the Judicta - ry, submitted a rep< rf upon the credentials of William hi. Fisbback andEJlsha Baxter, claimingseat* from the State of Arkansas. It details tho hittory of that State since IS6I rand shows that the State Convention, repre senting forty-five counties, met onStheSth of January, 1564,amended the Constitution and abolished slavery, repudiated the rebel debt of the State and of tho Confede racy, and provided for the organization of the State. - Its action was ratified by a rote of 12,177 for the Con stitution and 226 against.it. The uumber of persons who voted for President in 1860 was 64,053. Thesmall. vote would nothave been regarded fatal to reorganiza tion if the State bad not been free from military control, and ail loyal men could have had an opportunity to vote. :The President has not yet recalled his procla mation declaring the inhabitants of Arkansas in a state of insurrection against the United States, nor was there evidence before, the committee that the rebellion had been suppressed,a portion of Arkansas being still under the military controLof the insurgents. The committee conclude that when the rebellion in Arkansas shall have been so far suppressed that the loyal inhabitants sliall free to establish their State government upon a republican foundation, or to re organize tho one already set up, and by the aid and not in subordination to military power to maintain thesame, they will then, and not till then, be entitled to a repre sentation in Congress, and participation in the adminis tration of the Federal Government. Believing that such slate of things did hot and coes not now exist, the com mittee recommended the adoption of the following reso-' Intion: Stitched, ThatWra. M. Fishback and Elisha Baxter are not entitled to seats as Senators from the State of Arkansas. LANDS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A RAILROAD. ' Mr. HARLAN called up the bill granting lauds to aid in the construction of n railroad and telegraph line from Lake Superior to Puget's Sound, on the Pacific coast,by the rorthern route. • Mr. CONNESS offered an amendment as a proviso at the end of the third section, that minerals shall not be construed to mean iron or.coal. The committee’s amendments were agreed to, and the hill was passed. Mr. DAVIS thought the Senator had not fairly inter preted the decision of Judge Leavitt, and proceeded to assail the suspension of the habeas corpus. Mr..SHERMAN wished it distinctly understood that Yallandlgbam’s case was not put on the ground of a suspension of the habeas corpus. He was treated just as Jeff Davis would have been, asa public enemy stirau laiing open acts of rebellion against the Government of the United States. Mr. SAULSBtIRY expressed bis doubt as to voting for this amendment, because it lolerated military ar rests at all.. If there should he aluw proposed allow ing* a mail to shoot down an officer attempting his arrest, he would vow for it, and he would welcome any thun derbolt, whether from heaven or from hell, that would strike down violators of our chartered rights. Ho al luded to cases in .hlsown State, under fh* administra tion of General Schenck, or General Skunk, whichever name is most appropriate to his character, who sent to arrest bis constituents men whom gentlemen would not admit to their kitchens. He thanked God that Clement L. Vallhiidigbjiin liadreturned. Hebad been sent into exile, with .threats of imprisonment if lie. returned. Now he had returned, let those threats be exeefited. lie understood that an order had been issued for his re arrest. Be wouio say. to the party in power'that the Democratic party will, maintain the right or trial by jury and liberty of speech, peaceably if possible, but.by the eternal God, forcibly if they must; and you may make the most of it, if that be treason! The Senate at 4. JO took a recess till 7 o’clock. . .... EVENING- SESSION. . A BUREAU OF ERBEDitEN; . - Mr. SUMNER called up the House bill to establish a bureau for freedman’s affairs.

Mr. TRUMBULL said he reconciled this action to tho Constitution, ou the siuno principle that ho reconciled his conscience to the killing of .rabbis.- If we had : the right to take their lives, we have the right to take their properly. How could such a war as this be carried ou of California, rose to say that his col-, league did not represe«t,the sentiment of California ou thi« question, nor bis own opinion formerly expressed, and ou which he was elected. ...

We arrived at the United States Ford, on thoßapidan, Friday night *, crossed Saturday morning, and at ten found a dc ; sorted hospital, where the first three days of the bat tle were fought. ■ To within about a mile of this the dead of both armies had been buried; but from this to the next hospital (about fifteen miles) the dead remain as death found them, with the exception of their ■ clothimr. The rebels had stripped tuorn of boots and shoes, and nearly all of clothing, anil where there was an exception tho pockets wore ail turned ! It is estimated that fifteen thousand of our men, and as many, or more; of rebels lie hero unbu ried ; and as six weeks have passed since tho battle, imagination in its wildest fancies cannot ;begin to l>alnt tho spectacle. After passing through this wil derness of death, wo found another hospital, sur prised the guards, took possession, and found about sixty wounded in charge of ono of oar surgeons, he being a prisoner also.'

' _ .... Id response to this resolution the Secretory has caused to be prepared, and has the honor herewith to transmit, a series of statements covering the wide range of inquiry contemplated by the call of the Senate as completely as the accessible sources of information have enabled him to do. Tbo contents of the report may bo generally de scribed and classified as follows : : : • - First. A historical and analytic review of the for eign commerce of the United States from thebe ‘ginning of the Government. : Second. An exhibit of the existing internal ebm merce between the Atlantic and Mississippi States. . Third. The overland trade'and communications with the Pacific States. -Fourth:' Tho foreign commerce of the Pacific coast. ■ Fifth. The international relations of thenorthern frontier of the United States with British and .Rus sian America. . : The first of these general divisions embraces , a statement of the tonnage employed, and the.values exchanged, in our foreign commerce generally, with the varying proportions of foreign and American tonnage. It exhibits a genera! view, historical and statistical, of the carrying trade of our internation al exchanges, distinguishing the trans-oceanic ton nage from that employed in trade with the British ■nnssessions in North America j the course of the*, early in g trade In Ihc great gcograpMcar divisions of our loreign commerce; its increase and decrease with the principal foreign countries; the total value of the exchanges: the.international movement of the precious metals; and the periodic changes in the relative value of the Imports from, and the ex ports to.tLe several customer countries, towhicharo added the number, class, and tonnage of vessels built in each year from 1822 toiSs3, with the tonnage employed in the coasting trade, the whale, cod, and mackerel fisheries, respectively. • * \ • The trade and navigation of tho United States with Great Britain, compiled from the official re ports of both countries, and given in general and in sufficient detail to exhibit the extent and fluctua tions of this branch of our commerce ; the leading articles exchanged, in direct and lndirect trade, ana the direct exchange of cohimoditie3, other than the precious metals, between California and Great Britain. - The trade of the United States with. Canada and the other .British North American Provinces is, also, .especially presented, on the authority of both our own and Canadian official reports'; showing tho extent and character of the exchanges ; the kind and value of the transit trade of the Eastern and Western states through Canada and the St. .Law rence to the ocean. A general exhibit js made of the steam tonnage engaged in our foreign commerce, and of the Pa-, naiha. Isthmus trade, vessels and cargoes, wirh a comparative view of the steam shipping and ton nage of Great Britain, and a statement of the* steam vessels engaged in American trado entered and cleared in British ports. The second division of the report, occupied with domestic commerce between the Atlantic and Mis sissippi States, embraces the quantities, and .values transported east and west by the great railways of the United States: by the lakes, and by,the Wel land, Eric, and Champlain canals; and* the kind and extent of shipping on the lakes. Tho tonnage was obtained from"the reports of State commission ers of statistics, boards of trade of the. principal • cities, transportation companies, and other authori tative resources, and the values estimated by ac cepted commercial rules. xhc interruption of trade between idle loyal and disloval. States of the Union, the suspension of the Mississippi river trade, and the non-intercourse of the Northern with Southern states since the com mencement of the rebellion, have rendered the stsi tisticsof this large branch, of our domestic commerce unattainable. The existing records of previous years are known to be both incomplete and unreliable, and no exhibit of it has, therefore, been attempted in this report/ ■ •• ' ■ - it will be observed that the date used in exhibiting the cast and west trade of the States and Territories relate mainly to the calendar year 1862, which is chosen because in that year its limits were well defined, and its character well settled and .ascer tained. The third, fourth, and fifth general, divisions-ex hibit the trade of the Pacific coast; its commercial relations with Asia;the movement of the precious metals to India and China; statistics of the popula tion, of mining, of atnrieultural productions, and of - transportation, in Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Kansas, in reference to the construction and sup port of the Pacific railroad; like statistics of. Arizona, Now Mexico, /Western Texas, and Neosho, bearing 'prospectively upon a railroad from the States' of the Itower Mississippi; to tho Gulf of Golifornia: similar statistics of Idaho, Montana, and Dakota, with reference to. overland communication between the great lakes and the Columbia river; the situation and prospects of an international route, passing through the Northwestern States to tho Pacific coast in British Columbia ; the progress of. population, mineral wealth, and other material interests, anticipated within tho present century in the several belts of interior States traversed, bythese overland to the Pacific coast: and tho condition and pros pects of.tho mining interests of the basin of Bake Superior. • In reference to the. existing necessity.for the ex hibit of our foreign commerce contemplated by the resolution of the Senate* .the Secretary bogs leave to say that hereafter tho requirement, he believes, will be fiiliy met by certain reforms in the annual report of commerce and navigation adopted by the department in the report for ISO 2-3, as will be seen by the volume now in type, and about to bo issued. , Statistics of the internal commerco of the coun try, in the present condition of our national statis tics* must be gathered from sources that hold no offi cial relations with the Treasury Department, but a knowledge of them has always been required /for public and priva to uses, and, in the new condition of.our domestic affairs, has bocomo more than ever important and necessary to the Government and the peoplo, A contribution to tho: fund of informa tion demanded, believed to be valuable, was pro pared in the Treasury Department, and published with tho Finance Kcport of 18*3, giving tho range of .prieea oi v staplc articles in the New York market at the beginning of-oach month of every yoar from 1525 to 1803. Tbo labor and research bestoved mion the inquiry, the results of which are embodied in the papers now, transmitted,-will at least manifest an contest endeavor to supply the required informa tioh, and is submitted as a step towards the more perfect execution of such a work- The Secretary is not prepared at present to ex press an opinion in regard to tne legislation neces sary to protect tho important interests to which tho Senate’s resolution relates. ; . / The fucts exhibited will doubtless suggest to the wisdom of Congress what measures will best accom plish that end. : It is proper to add that the papers now submitted havo been prepared, under the direction of the Se cretary, by Messrs, william Elder, .Tatnes/W. Tay lor, and Borin Blodgett, gentlemen whoso known capacity for intelligent and accurate research, and for correct appreciation, of results, supplies a just ground for confidence in thoir statements and refe rences. ■ Anandale, June 14.
