The condition of our foreign affairs is reasonably

Mexico continues, to be a theatre of civil war.
While our political relations with that country
have undergone no change, we have at the same
time strictly maintained a neutrality between the
belligerents.
At the request of the States of Costa Eiea and
Nicaragua, a competent engineer has been autho
rized to make a survey of the river San Tuan and
the port of San Tuan. It is a source of much
satisfaction that the difficulties which for a mo
ment excited seine political apprehensions and
caused a • closing ■of the Inter-oceanlo transit
route, have been amicably adjusted, and that
there Is a good prospect that the route will soon
be reopened, with an increase ff capacity and adap
tation. We could not exaggerate either the com
mercial or the political importance of that great
Improvement.
It would be doing injustice to an Important South
American State not to acknowledge the directness,
frankness, and cordiality with which the United
States of Colombia have entered into Intimate rela
tions with this Government. A Claims Convention
has been conatttuted to complete the unfinished
wo* of the one which closed Its session In iesi.
The new liberal Constitution of Venezuela having
gone Into effect with the universal acquiescence of
the people, the Government under it has been re
oognlzed and diplomatic intercourse wlthlt has been
opened In a cordial spirit. The long-deferred
Aresas land claim hag been -satisfactorily paid and
discharged.
Mutual payments have been made of the claims
awarded by the late joint commission for the settle
ment of claims between the United States and
Peru. An earnest "ana oordlal friendship continues
to exist between the two-countries, and such efforts
as were in my power have been used to remove mis
understandings and avert a threatened war between
Peru and Spain. Our relations are of the most
friendly nature with Chill, the Argentine Eepubiie,
Bolivia, Costa Elea, Paraguay, San Salvador, and
Hayti. During the past year no differences of any
kind have|arisen with any of these Bepubllcs, and,
on the other hand, their sympathies with the United
States are constantly expressed with cordiality and
earnestness..
The claim arising from the seizure of the cargo of
the brig Macedonia, in 1821, has been paid in full by
the Government of Chill,
Civil war continues in the Spanish part of San
Domingo, apparently without prospect of an early
close. -
iIEEBIA.
Official correspondence has been freely opened
with Liberia, and it gives us a pleasing view of
social and political progress in that Bepublic. It
may bo expected to derive new vigor from Ameri
can influence; improved by the rapid disappearance
of slavery in the United States.
I solicit your authority to furnish to the Bepublle
a gunboat of moderate cost, to be reimbursed to the
.United States by instalments. Such' a vessel Is
needed for the safetyofthatstate against the native
African races, and In Liberian hands it would be
more effective In arresting the African slave -trade
than a squadron in our own hands.
The possession of the least organized naval force
would stimulate a generous ambition in that Re
public, and the confidence which we Bhonld manifest
by furnishing It would win forbearance and favor
toward the colony from all civilized nations.
INTBBHATIOHAI. TBIBSEAPHS.
The proposed Overland Telegraph between Ame
rica and Europe, by the. way of Behring Straits
and Asiatic Bucsla, which was sanctioned by Con
gress at the last session, has been undertaken under
very favorable circumstances, by an association of
American oltizenß, with the cordial good will and
support as well of this Government as those, of'
Groat Britain and Bussla. Assurances have been
received from most of the South American States of
their appreciation of the enterprise, and their readi
ness to co-operate in constructing lines tributary to
that world-encircling communication. 1 learn, with
satisfaction, that the noble design Of a telegraphic
communication between the eastern coast of Ame
rica and Great Britain, has been renewed, with foil
expectation of its accomplishment.
, Thus It Is hoped that, with the return of domestic*
peace, the country will he able to resume with en
ergy and advantage its former high oareer of com
merce and civilisation.
Our very popular and estimable representative in
Egypt died In April last. An unpleasant alterca
tion, which arose between the temporary Incumbent
of the office and the Government of the Pacha, re
sulted in a suspension of Intercourse. The evil was
promptly corrected on the arrival of the successor
lathe consulate, and our relations with Egypt, as
well as our relations with the Barbary Powers, are
entirely satisfactory.
The rebellion which has so long been prevalent In
China has at last been suppressed with the co-ope
rating'good offices of this Government and Of the
other western commercial States.
The judicial consular establishment there.has be

PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1864.
Owing to the peculiar situation of Japan, and thd c *
anomalous form of its Government, the notion of '
that Empire in performing treat? stipulations Is ta
constant and eaprloious. Nevertheless, good pro*
grese has been effected by the Western Powers
moving with enlightened concert. Onr own pecu
niary claims have been allowed, or part In course
of settlement, and the Inland Sea has been re. open
ed to commerce. There is reason to believe that-'
these proceedings have lnoreased rather than dl<nl; !

THE OrKNINO OF BLOCKADBD FOBTS.
The ports or Norfolkj Fernandina, and Pen
sacola have .been.opened by proclamation. It Is
toped , that_ foreign morohants will consider
whether It is cot safer and more profitable to
themselves, as well as just to the United States, to
resort to these, and otter open ports, than it is to
pursue, through many hazards and at vast coßt,a
contraband trade with otter ports which aie
closed, it .not byi actual military occupation, at

. In view of the insecurity of life and propartfls
the region adjacent to the' Canadian hordes, bf 1
reason of recent assaults an* depredations coni
mltted by inimical and desperate persons who Sip
harbored there, it has been thought proper to gfth

rangements with Great Britain, the United'Stater*
must hold themselves at liberty to Increase thef
naval armament upon the Bakes, if they shall fiul
that proceeding necessary. -The condition of thi‘
border will necessarily eomo Into consideration u
connection with the question of continuing or modi'
fying the rights of transit from Canada through tbL
United States, as well as the regulation of Jmportsf
which was temporarily established by the reciproofr.

colonial authorities of Canada are not deemed to be
intentionally unjust and unfriendly towards thC

measures to prevent new inourslons across .tie

The aet passed at the last session for the encourage
ment of emigration has, so far as Was possible, been
pnt into, operation. It seems to need amendment
which will enable the officers of the Government to
prevent the practice of frauds against the immi
grants while on their way, and on their arrival ini
the ports, so as to secure them here a free choice of
avocations and places of settlement. A liberal dis
position towards this great national policy is mani
fested by most of the European States, and ought to.
be reciprocated on our part by giving theimmi-'
giants effective national protection, 1 regard our
immigrants as one of the principal replenishing
streams which are appointed by Providence to re
pair the ravages of internal' war and Its wasteß of
national health and strength. All that Is necessary
is to secure the flow of that stream in-lts present
flillness, and to that end the Government must In
everyway make it manifest'that it neither needs
nor designs to impose involuntary mllitary servlce
upon those who come from other lands to oast their
lot in our country! _ ;
The flnanolal affalxs of the (Joveriment have been
successfully administered doling the last year. The
legislation of the last session of CongreSß has bene
ficially affected the revenues, although sufficient
time has not yet elapsed toeexpertenco the foil

The reoelpts during the year from all sources
upon the basis of warrants sighed by the Secretary
of the Treasury, Including loans, and the balance In
the Treasury on the first day of July, 1863, were
$1,384,708,007.02, and the aggregate disbursements
upon the same basis were $1,298,056,101.89, leaving;
a bal- nee In the Treasury, as shown-by warrants, of
$96,739,905.73. ~
Deduct from those amounts the amount of the
principal of the public debt redeemed, and thb
amount of Issues In substitution therefor, and the
actual cash operations of the Treasury were: Re
ceipts, $884,078,646.57 ; disbursements,; $865,234-
687,86, which leaves a cash balance In the Treasury
Of $18,842,558.71.
Of the reoelpts, there were derived from customs
$102,316,162.99 ; from lands $388,333.29 ; from direct,
taxes $475,648.96 s from internal revenue $109,741,-
134.10; from miscellaneous sources $47,511,448.19 ; ,
and from loans applied to actual expenditures. In
cluding former balance, $626,443,229.13.
There were disbursed for the civil service $27,-
508,599 46 ; for pensions and Indians $7,617,930 97;
for the Wax Department,s69o,79l,B42 97;. for the*
Navy Department, $85,733,292 77; for interest on
the public debt, $58,685,421 69; making an aggre
gate of $865,234,087 86, and leaving a. balanoe in the
treasury of $48,842,558 71, as before stated. For the
actual receipts and disbursements for the first
quarter, and the estimated receipts and disburse
ments for the three remaining quarters of the cur
rent fiscal year, and the general operations of the
Treasury In detail, I refer you to the report of- the
Secretary of the Treasury. I concur with him in
the opinion that the proportion of moneys required
to meet the expenses consequent upon the war de-.
rived from taxation, should be still further in
creased,' and I earnestly Invite your attention ,to
this subject, to the end that there may be such addi
tional legislation as should be required to meet the
just expectations of the Secretary.
The public debt on the Ist of July lust, as appears
by the boohs of the Treasury, amounted to one bil
lion seven hundred and forty thousand millions, six
hundred and ninety thousand four hundred and
elghty-nlne dollars and forty-nine eents. Probably,
should the war continue for another year, that
amount will be Increased by not far from five, hun
dred millions. Held as It Is for the most part by our
own people, It has become a substantial br&nchjof
national, though private, property. Dor obvious
reasons the more nearly this property ean he distri
buted among all the people 'the better. To favor
such general distribution greater inducements ts.bo
eome owners might, perhaps, with good effect, and
without Injury, be presented to persons of limited
means. ■ 'With this view, I suggest whether It might
not be both competent and expedient for Congress
to provide that a limited amount of some future
issue of public securities might be held by any bona
fide purchaser, exempt from taxation and from sei
zure for debt, under such restrictions and limitations
as might be necessary to guard agalnßt abuse of se
important a privilege. This would enable every
prudent person to set aside a small annuity against
a possible day of want.
Privileges like these would render the possession
of suoh. securities, to the amount limited, most de
sirable to every person of small means who might
be able to save enough for the purpose. The great
advantage of citizens being creditors as well as
debtors, with relation to the public debt, Is obvious.
Men readily perceive that they cannot be muoh
oppressed by a debt which they owe to themselves.
’The public debt, on the .first day of July last,
although somewhat exceeding the estimate of the
Secretary of the Treasury made to Congress at the
commencement of the last session, falls short of the
estimate of that officer made In the preceding De
cember, as to its probable amount atthe beginning
of this year, by, the Sum of *3,996,087.111. This fltet
exhibits a satisfactory condition -and conduct of the
operations of the Treasury,
The National hanking system 1b proving to be ac
ceptable'to capitalists and to the people. lOn the
25th day of November five hundred and eighty-four
National banks had been authorized, a. considerable
number or which were conversions from State banks.
Changes from the State systems to the National
sy stem are rapidly taking place, and It Is hoped that
very soon there will be In the United States no
banks of issue not authorized by Congress, and no
bank-note circulation not secured by the Govern
ment. That the Government people will
derive great benefit from this change In the banking
systems of- the country ean hardly be questioned.
The National system will oreate a reliable and per
manent Influence In support of the National credit,
and proteot the people against losses In the Issue of
paper money. Whether or not any further legisla
tion Is advisable for the suppression of State bank
lsßues, It wUU>e for Congress to determine.
It seems quite clear that , the Treasury cannot be
satisfactorily conducted unless the Government oa#£
exercise a restraining power over the bank-note cir
culation ol the country.
The report of the Secretary of War and the ao- •
company ing documents will detail the campaigns
of the armies In the field since the date ef the last
annual message, and also the operations of the seve
ral administrative bureaus of the War Department
during the last year. It will also specify the mea
sures deemed essential lor the hatlonal defence and
to keep up and supply the requisite military force.

.... ... NATIONAL BESOUBCEB.
The election has exhibited another fact not MSS
valuable to be known—the fnot that we do not ap
proach exhaustion In the most Important branch of
national resources—that'of living men. While it
is melancholy to reflect that the war has filled so
manv graves and carried mourning to so many
hearths, it is some relief’to know that, compared
with the surviving, the fallen have been so few.
While corps, and divisions, and brigades, and regl
ments have formed, and fought, and dwindled, and
gone out of existence, a great majority of the men
who composed them are still living; The same is true
of the naval service. The election returns prove
this. So many voters could not else be found.
The States regularly holding elections, both now
and four years ago, to wit: California, Connec
ticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Ken
tucky, Blaine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Miohi
fan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New
ersey, New Tork, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wis
consin, east 3,982,0il votes now, against 3,870,222 oast
then, showing an aggregate now of 8,982,011. To
this is to be added 33,762 cast now In the new States
that did not vote In 1860, thus swelling the aggre
gate to 4,016,773, and the net Increase during the
three years and a half of war to 146,661. A table Is
appended showing particulars. To this agatushould
be added the number of soldiers in the field from
Massachusetts,' Rhode Island, New Jersey, Dela
ware, Indiana, Illinois, and California, who, by the
laws of those Statoß, could not vote away from their
homes, number" cannot he less than 90,-
600. Nor yet Is this all. The number In the orga
nized Territories is a trifle now to what it was four
years ago, while thousands, whiteand black, joinns
as the national arms press back the insurgent Uses.
So much Is shown affirmatively and negatively by
the election. Ills not material to inquire howthe In
crease has been produced, or to show thatXit would
have been greater but for the. war, which Is probably
true. The Important fact remains demonstrated
that we have more men now than we had when the
war began, that we are not exhausted, nor in the
process of exhaustion, that we are gaining strength,
.and may, if need'be, maintain the contest In
definitely. This, as to ,men. Material resources
are now more complete and abundant than ever.
THE MAINTENANCE OF THE UNION—CONDITIONS
OF PEACE.
The- natural resources then are unexhausted,
and, as we believe, Inexhaustible. The publie
purpose to establish and maintain the national
authority Is unchanged,' and, as we believe,
nncbangeable. The manner of continuing the
effort remains to choose. On oarefal considera
tion of all the evidence accessible, It seems to me
that no attempt at negotiation with the Insurgent
leader could result in any good.' He would accept
nothing short of severance ofthe Union, precisely
what we will not and cannot give. His declarations
to this effect are explicit and oft-rapeated. He does
not attempt to deceive us. He affords us no excuse
to deceive ourselves He cannot voluntarily re
accept the Union. We cannot voluntarily yield It.
Between him and us the issue is distinct, simple,
and Inflexible. It Is an issue which can only be
tiled by- war and deoided by victory. If we yield
we are beaten. If the Southern people fail him
he Is beaten. Hither way it would be the'victory
land defeat following war. What is true, how
ever, of him who heads thefinsurgent cause, is not
necessarily true of those who follow. Although he
cannot re-ocoept the Union, they can. Some ,of.
them, we know, already desire peace and reunion.
The number of suoh may increase. They can at any
moment have peace, simply by laying down their
arms and submitting to the national authority un
der the Constitution. After so. much the Govern
ment could not, if It wculd, mainta!n war against
them. The loyal ptople would not sustain Or allow
It. If questions should remain, we would adjust
them by the peaceful means or legislation, confe
rences, courts, and votes operating only. In constitu
tional and lawful channels. Some certain and other
possible questions are and would be beyond the
.Executive power to adjust, as, for instance, the
admission of members into Congress, and what
ever might , require the appropriation of money.
The Executive power itself would be greatly di
minished by tho cessation of actual war. Pardons
and remissions of forfeitures, however, would still
be within the Executive control. In what spirit
and temper this control would be exercised can be
fairly judged of by the-past. A year ago a general
pardon and amnesty, upon specified terms, were of
fered to all except certain designated classes, and it
. was at the same time made known that the excepted
classes were still within contemplation of special
clemency. During the year, many availed them
selveß of the general provision, and many more
would, only that the signsof bad faith In some led’
toesuch precautionary measures as rendered the
practical process less easy and certain. During the
same time, also, special pardons have . been granted
to Individuals ofthe excepted classes, and no volun
tary applicatlonhas been denied. Thus, practically,
the door has been for a full year open to all; except
such as were not in condition to make free eholoe—
• thatis, such as were In oustody or under constraint.
It Is still so open to all. But the time may eome
when public duty shall demand that It'be olosed,
and that In lieu more vigorous measures than here
tofore shall be adopted.
In presenting the abandonment of armed re
sistance to the national authority on the part of the
insurgents as the only Indispensable condition to
ending the war on the part of the Government, I
retract nothing heretofore said as to slavery. I re
peat the declaration made a year* ago, that while I
remain In my present position I shall not attempt
to retract or modify the-Emancipation Proclama
tion, nor shall I return to slavery agy person who
is free by the terms of that proclamation or by any
of the actß of Congress. If the people should, by
whatever mode or means, make It an Executive
duty to reenslave Buch persons, another, and not
I, must be their Instrument to perform it. In
to say that the war will cease on the part of the
Government whenever It shall have ceased 'on the
part of those who began It.

ALLEGED BURGLARS.
Joseph Hickleman and Joseph Loothart were
arraigned yesterday afternoon on the charge of at»
tempt at burglary and robberv. The prisoners were
seen loitering about a barber shop on Shlppen street,
near Fourth, between eleven and twelve o’clock on
Monday night. On being discovered by Officers
Campbell and Cowley, or the Second district, they
made an excuse that they wished to get shaved.
The barber and his family were at a ball. The
strangers started away, and, taking a somewhat cir
cnitous route, finally stopped at Brazer’s lager-beer
saloon, on Pasaynnk road, above Fitzwater street.
They were followed by the officers. One of the men
went Into the'yard and appeared to hide a small
bundle. In a few minutes after this they went away.
Yesterday morning the .officers returned to the sa
loon, They were disguised in citizens’ dress. Pre
sently Lockhart and Hickleman oame in, and one of
them went to the yard, apparently In search or the
bundle. Unfortunately for the sake of justice, per
haps, one of the officers had taken possession of the
bundle shortly after it had been deposited. It con
tained tools generally used by burglars. Theae
cused were committed to answer.
ALLEGED LAKCBNT.
John Dougherty was arraigned on the charge of
the larceny of a gold watch and chain, valued at
$125, another gold watch and chain, valued at $5O,
,and a ten-stone diamond ring, valued at $125, the
property of Anna Wilson. It seems that Anna had
pawned the articles for the sum of $lOO, and placed
the ticket in her pocket-book. It is alleged that
Dougherty called in last Saturday at the house
where Anna lived, and observing the pocketbook,
appropriated it audits contents to his own. use. It
is further alleged that he called; OB a man natfied
Bernard Dougherty, from whom he borrowed one
hundred dollars, and then proceeded to the pawn
shop end redeemed the articles enumerated above,
ana has refused to deliver them to the properowner.
Dougherty was examined as a witness., He made a

fendant was committed to answer at court. -

NEW YORK GIFT-CONCERT AFFAIR.
A case, rather amusing In Its proceedings, came
off yesterday afternoon In relation to the New York
gilt-concert business that flourished a short time
since in Philadelphia. The institution being in
direct violation of a statute law, In such oases made
and provided, Mayor Henry Interfered and checked
the business. Shortly after this event, the firm of
Tbain & Go. dissolved business relations, and it is
alleged that Messrs. Thaln & Oborin proceeded to
Washington, D. 0., to make arrangements to re
open ;the same business there. On November, 16th
it seems that Mr. Thain packed up $3,000 worth of
silver or plated ware, and directing the eases to
Thain & Co., Washington, D. 0., placed them in
Hamden’s Express Office to be forwarded as
directed at, a certain time. It Is alleged that
a man sained Morris Sehonefelt scraped or
caused to be erased from the boxes the
direction, and in place of Thalu the name of
Sehonefelt was marked. Mr. Thain, finding it
impossible to obtain the goods, brought salt
against Sehonefelt, but upon what charge was not
clearly stated. Mr. Earle appeared as counsel for
the complainant, and he found himself surrounded
by a galaxy of-German lawyers who are considered
stars at.the Philadelphia, Bar. They-seemed to
enter into the defence with, characteristic impulse,
allspeaking at once, which at times was decidedly
amusing. The '.defendant was held In the sam of
$3,000 to appear at conrt. It Is'up for an investiga
tion through the medium of a writ of habeas corpus.

They are .convertible atthe end of three years into the
long gold-interest sixes, whichfeafcure, with the liberal
rate of interest they bear intermediately, rendered
them a very desirable investment. There has never
been, since the outbreak of the war, so fair an opening
for very high prices for Government securities. The
deadnesa in general speculation closes the ordinary
channels for the usetof money,' and people axe, in fact,
. at a loss to know what to do withtheir surplus capital,
while the military and political, complexioaof affairs is
bright and cheering. - 4
Thompson’s JBank &ote Reporter has the following
interesting remarks os the 7*30 notes and the 10-40
bonds:
The Becretary of the Treasury willnow, afiermaking
a twenty* five million loan on the 5-20 bonds, relyfor a
month or two on selling the new iasue of 7*3-10 Treasu
ry notes. *. ; .
A good many descriptions of these notes have been
riven, but from the repeated inquiries in relation to
*them, we see that it is proper to repeat 'the informa
tion, '
- The new 7-3-10 Treasury notes are all dated August
IC, 1864 They have three years to run from that date.
They are in denominations of 60s, 100 s, 500 s, and 1,0003.
Each note has five coupons, ana the sixth half-year’s
interest is payable with the note itself on the 16th of
August, 1667. .A coupon is payable every six months,
to wit: on the 16th of February and August in each
year. This interest Is two cento per day on • every $lOO.
and is in currency. Hence they are sometimes called
Currency 7- £• 10 notes. When they mature, }lie holder
cant tike the money, or he can convert them into the
5-? G six per cent, gold-interest bonds.
In revolutionary and uncertain times like these this
option to take the money in August, 1867, or to take the
6 2> bonds, is a privilege not to be lost sight of.
These notes produce in the three years they have to
run $21.90 in currency on every $lOO.
A 5-20 bond produces $lB in gold. Then the uncertain
question is, how high will gold range or average during
the three years? v
If geld averages 200, a $lOO o-20 bond nets In currency
$3O, or $14.10 more than a 7-30 note: but if gold shall
average only 160 for the three years, then a 6-20 bond
will yield in currency only $5.10 more than the 7 3-10
note. Therefore, the premium on 8 6-20 bond must be
estimated according to the estimated price of gold from
now to August, 1867. . .
Were we to express an opinion as to how much a
5-20 bond is worth more than a 7 3-10 note we should
saylOpercent This makes the bond a little less than
9 per cent premium, for, in buying it, the purchaser
has the benefit of the accrued interest from November
1, while the purchaser pays the back interest on the
7 S-10 notes. Itis true that the purchaser of these notes
getsa rebate of % commission. * *.
After 188-bing all these allowances, we still say that
tbe 6-20 bonds at 110, and the 73-10 notes at Government
price, Parana interest less % commission, are equally
advantageous investments.

opinion that the present year’s revenue, Including the
additional income tax, tfill he at least $365,800,000. If
It is desirable to increase this to $300,000,000, he recom
mends a tax on sales of 54 of one per cent, to make up
the deficiency; toTie imposedfor one year only, as after
that the present tax lists WiU„ yield the required
