Fellow citizens : Under Provi depec, I; have been called a eecon'i time t act as Eteeutive over, this great oatiou. It has been tny endeavor io tlie pnst to maiutain all the laws, acd, sn : far as lay io my power, to act for the best interests of the whole pcoj le. ,My best efforts will be given in the same direction in the fu tuic, aided, I trusj. by uy four years' ex perieuce in the office. When my first icriu or.iho office of Chief Executive be Eaa, the country had not recovered from ihe effects of a great internal : revolution, and three of the ftrnier Slates of the Union had not been restored to their Fed. eral relations... It seemed to uie wise that no new questions should be raised so long as (hut coudition ut affairs existed There lore, the past four years, bo far as I could uoutrnl events, have been consumed in the efT.-rt to restore harmony, public credit, 'commerce, and all the artsoi peace and progress. It is my firm conviction that the cirili- zed wot Id is tending toward republicanism, or government by the people, through their chosen representatives, and that our own great Republic is defined to be the guiding: ftar to all others. Under our Republic we support an army less than that ot any European power of any stand ing, and a navy less than that of either of at least five of tl.em. There could be no extension of territory on this continent which would call for an increase of this force, but raiher might such extension enable us to diminish it. The theory of government changes with general pro ess. Now that the telegraph is made available for communicating thought, to gelher with rapid transit by steam, all parts of a continent are made contiguous lor all pardoses of Government, and com muuication between the extreme limits of the country made easier than it was throughout the old lo States at the be ginning of our national existence. The effects of the late civil strife have been to free the slave and make him a citizen, yet he is not possessed of the civil rights which citizenship should cai ry with it. This is a wrong, and should be cor rected To ihi- correction I stand com mit'ed so far as Executive influence can avail Social eijuality is not a subject to be legislated upon, uor shall 1 nk that anything le done to advance the social status of the colored man except to give him a fair cl a ec to develop what there is good in Lim. Give him nrcess to school, and when he travels let him feel assured that his conduct will regulate the treatment and fare he will receive. The .States lately at war wilh the General Governnu tit are now happily rehabilita ted, and no Executive control is cxertvsed in any ore of them that would not be exercised in any other Srate under like circumstances. the rnr.siDEXT's tolicy Tn the first year of the present Admin istration the proposition came up for the admission ofSauto Domingo a a tcrri t ry of the Union. It was not a question of my seeking, but wag a proposition from ihe people of Sjnate Domingo, and which I entertained. I 1 elieve now as I did then, that it was for the best interests of thi country, forthe people of Santo Domingo, and all concerned, that the pro position should be received favorably. It was. however, rejected constitutionally, and therefore the subject . was never brought up again by. me. In future, while I hold my present office, the sub jeet of the acquisition of territory must have the suppoit of the people before I will recommend any proposition looking to such acquisition. I say here, however. hat 1 do not share in the apprehension held by many as to the danger of Govern ments becoming weakened and destroyed by reason of their extension of territory Commerce, education, and the rapid trail sit of thought and matter by telegraph and steam have changed all this. Hither do I believe that our Great M tker is pre paring ihe world in this our good time to become otic nation, speaking one Jang uage, and when armies and navies will be no longer required. My efforts in the future will be directed to the restoration of good feeling between the different sec tion of our common country; to the re storafion of our currency to a fixed value as compared with the world's stauJard of values (gold), and if possible to a par with it ; to the construction of cheap routes of transit throughout the land, to he end that the products of all sections may find a market, and leave a living re muueration to the producer ; to tlie main tenance of friendly relations wih all our neighbors, and with' distant .nations: to ihe recstablishmeut of our commerce and our share io the carrying trade upon the ocean ; to the encouragement of such manufacturing industries' as can be ecu uomically pursued in this country, to the end that the exports of home products ai.d industries may pay for our imports -Uthe only sure method of returning to and permanently maintaining a specie bans to the elevation of labor, and by a humane course to bring the aborigines of tbe country under ihe benigu influences of education and ci vitiation. It is either ibis or war. of extermination. ' )Vars of extermination, engaged in by people pur suing commerce and" all industrial pur suits, are expensive, even against ihe weakest people, and are demoralizing and wicked. ..Our superiority of 'strength aod advantages of civilization should. make us lenient toward the Indian. Tbe. wrong already inflicted upoa him should be tak en into account and the balance placed to his credit. The moral view of the qiies tion should be considered and the ques tioo asked, 'Caunot the Indian be uiade a useful and productive member of society by proper teaching and treatment 7" If the effort. is made in good faith.- we will stand well before the civilized nations td the earth and in our own consciences for having made it. All these things are not to be iacqomplished by one individual, but they will 'receive my support -and such recommendation to Congress as will io my judgment best serve to carry them into effect. : I beg your support and eu couragement. , It has been and is my earnest desire to correct abuses that have grown up in the civil service ol the country. ; To secure this reformation, rules regulating methods of appointment and promotion were es tablished and have been tried.! My efforts for such reformation shall be continued to Ihe best of my judgment. The spirit of the rules adopted will be maintained THE PRESIDENT'S VINDICATION. I acknowledge before this assemblage, representing as it does, every section of our country, the ' obligation 1 am under to my couuTrymen for the great honor they havs conferred on me by returning tne to the highest office within their gift, and the further obligation resting on tne to icuder them the best services within ray power. This promise, looking for ward wifh the greatest anxiety to the day when I shall be released from the re sponsibilities that at times are almost over whelming, and from which I have scar cely had a respite since the eventful firing upon Fort Sumter, in April, liUl, to the preent day. My services were then ten tiered and accepted under the first call tor troops crowing out of that event. I did not asked for place or position, and was entirely without influence or the ac quaintance of persons of influence, but was : resolved to perform my part in a struggle threatening the very existence of the nation. I performed a couscien tious duly without asking promotion or command, and without a revengeful feel ing toward any section or any individual. Not withstanding this, throughout the war and from my candidacy for my present office in liSUS to the close of the last Presidential campaign, I have been the subject of abuse and slander scarcely ever equaled in political history which, to-day, I feel that l can disregard, in view of your verdict which I gratefully accept as my vindication. At. the conclusion of the address, the President was warmly congratulated by his friends, and soon alter left in his car riage, escorted by the procession, which had reformed. The Airless Moon. Among the illusions swept away by modern science wu tlie pleasant fancy that the moon was a habitable globe, like the earth, its surfancc diversified witli seas, lakes, continents, and islands, and varied forms of vegetation. Theologians and sac'ints gravely disscussed the pro babilittcs of its being inhabited by a race of sentiment beings, with forms and facul ties like oar own, and even propounded schema for openiug communication with them, in case they existed One of thoe was to construct on the broad highlands of Asia a series of geometrical figures on a seal so giguatic as to be visible fiom our planetary neighbor, on the supposi tion that the moon people would recognize the object,' and immediately construct similar figures in reply ! Extravagant and abs-urd as it may appear in the light of modem knowledge, the establishment of this Terrestrial and Lunar Signal Service Bureau was treated as a feasible scheme, although practical difficulties, which so of teii keep men from making fools of them selves, stood in the way ot actual experi ment ; but the disscussion was-kept up at intervals, until it was discovered that if there were people in the moon they must be able to live . without breathing, or eating, or drinking Then it ceased. There can be no life without air. Reautiful to tbe eye of the distant obser ver, the moon is a sepulchral orb a woild of death and silence. No vegetation clothes its vst plains of stony desolation, traversed by monstrous crevasses, broken by enormous peaks that rise like giguatic tombstones into space ; uo lovely forms of clould float in the morning, uo twilight in the evening. The uights are pitch datk. Io daytime the solar beams are lost against the jagged ridges, the sharp point's of the rocks, or the tteep sides of the profound abysses ; and the eye sees only grotesque shapes relieved against fantastiu shadows black as ink, with none of that pleasant gradation aod diffusion of light, none of the subtile blending of light and shadow, which makes the charm of a terrestrial landscape A faiut conception of the horrors of a lunar day may be form ed from an illu-iou ; representing a land : scape taken in the moou iu the centre of ihe mountaniuous region pf Aristarchus.

The Relvidere Journal of last week snys the through train to Kensington, on the Relvidcre Division of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, on last Friday morning, after leaving lielvidere, was boarded by a respectable looking and well attired lady, having in her possession a beautiful, bright-eyed baby. The conduct of the woman toward the babe, while en route to Kensington was of the most tender and affeetonate character. When tbe train reached its destination, . the woman, with ihe child in her arms, entered the depot She remained there for some length of time, and during her stay, entered into conversation wilh a lady the wife of n prominent Philadelphia lawyer. Among ohter things, she informed - the lady that she would give her Ihe baby under cer tain conditions, viz : that the donor uor the receiver should ask any questions The 'Philadelphia lady, stated that she expected her husband in a few moments, and if, upon bis arrival, he was willing, she would accept the gift, ami feel very grateful for it. The husband came, and like all other husbands, looked upon the innocent child, and loved it. lie gave his consent, aud then ami there ihe sup posed mother of the child parted with it perhaps forever She remained in the city until Saturday afternoon, when she bought a ticket for Phillipsburg, aud came as far as the Junction, where she got off the train, Saturday evening Who she was, or where she belonged, it was impossible to ascertain, and the parentage of the chili! is wrapped in mystery. It is supposed that the woman's object in visiting Philadelphia was to place the child iu the Fouudliug's Home, at that place. Fortunately however, for the little one, tho Lawyer's wife fell deeply in love with it, and adopted it as her owu Taken altogether, it was a very strange proceeding, the like ot which we have never beard before. How to Pick Oat a Wife. Find a girl that is 10 years old last May, about the right height, with a blue cc, and dark brown hair and white teelh Let the girl be good to look at, not too foud of music, a firm disbeliever in ghosts, and enc of six children in the same lam ily. Lonk well to the character of her father ; see that he is not the member of any club, don't be on elections, and get shaved at least three times a week. Find out about her mother, see if she has got a heap of good common sense, stud)' well her likes and dislikes, eat some of her home made bread and apple dump lins, notice whether she abuses all of her neighbors, ask her servants how long they have lived there, and don't fail to observe whether her dresses are last year's one fixed over. If you are satisfied that the mother would make the right kiud of a mother iu law. you can safely conclude that the daughter would make the right kiud ot a wife. After these preliminaries are settled, and you have done a reasonable amount of sparking, ask the you?ig lady for her heart and hand, and of she refuses, you can consider yourself euchred. If on the contrary, she should say yes, get married at. once, without any fuss aud leathers, and proceed to take the chance There is just as many good wives as good husbands, and I never knew two people, married or single, who were de termined to make themselves agreeable to each other, but what they succeeded. Name your oldest boy same good stout name, not after some hero, but should the first boy be a girl. I ask it as a favor to me that you call her Rebecca. I do want some of them good, old fash ioned tough girl names revived and ex tcuded. Clothes on Fire. The following, which we copy from the St'ientiic Atiirricun, should be rcmem bered : Three persons out of four would rush right, up to (he burning individual and begin to paw with their hands with out any definite aim. It is useless to tell the victim to do this or that or call lor water. In fact, it is generally best not to say a word, but to seize a blanket from the bed or any woolen fabric if none is at hand, take . any woolen material hold tlie corners as far apaitas you can,. stretch them out higher than your head, and run . ning boldly to the person, make a motion of clasping in ihe arms, mostly about the shoulders.- This instantly smothers the fire aud saves the face. The next instant throw the person no the floor. This is an additional safety to the face and any rem naut of flame can be put out more leisure ly. , The next instaut immerse the burnt part in cold water, and all paiu will cease with the rapidity of lightning. Next gel some common flour, remove frtm the wa ter, ; and cover the burnt parts, with an inch thickness of flour, if possible, put the patient to bed. mid do all that is pos sible to soothe, until the physician arrives. I j t the flour remain until it falls off it self, when a beautiful new skin can be foynd. Unles the burns aredecp. no other applications are needed The dry flour or buroi is the most admirable re medy ever proposed, and the information ouiiht to be imparled to all..- The piwu'i pie of i's action is, that like the water, it causes instant and perfect reliul from pain by totally excluding all the air from (he injured parts.

The jury retired and in less than hall uu hour, much to the surprise of ihe court and counsel, returned a verdict of "not guil "I don't understand this." said Mr Lincoln turning to his client, as he spoke; '-these fellows must have misunderstood." "Not a d d bit of it," answered the sagacious client, with a knowing wink. "You sec, 'Squire, eery oh tJ them ere fillers hal a piece o' llnm hoys !" We think the Credit Mobilier business will fail to result in much, because two many "o them ere fellows" in Congress had a slice of the Stock. A General Stampede. . The Scranton Morning Republican lells the following good small pox story : Ou Monday afternoon a man entered the office of Dr Throop. broken out ter ribly with small pox. The man, besides being sick, was poor aud friendless, and wanted to be taken care of. The Doctor advised him to go to the station bouse and see what they could do for him there The man departed and the Doctor reMim ed his business. Now be if known, that the Poor Hoard had a meeting, in the office of A II Wintoo. esq., in Washing ton Hall building, that same afternoon The Doctor, in the course of the after noon, had occasion to visit the Hoard while in session. When he entered the room, to his astonishment, he saw the small pox man sitting in a corner as com placently as could he, waiting for a favor able opportunity to lay bis case, and claim before the Roaid ' The member of the Hoard were busily engaged in ihe pctfor uianee of their duties The doctor step ped to the middle of the room, and said ; "Gentlemen, arcyou aware you have afiit class case of email pox in tlie room ?" pointing to the man. He h ol not to re peat his statement, nor did it require a se cond look at the man to convince them of the truth of ihe Doctor's statement. They did not stand upon ceremony, nor hardly upon iheir legs, for they almost flew from the room. The Doctor say it was verj funny to see that Hoaid abjouru without a motion. Paper Car-Wheels. The numerous uses to which paper ami papcr-plup nre applied in the various de partmeuts of general industry, form one of the most interesting chapters iu the history of recent mechanical an 1 chemical progress. We have paper doors and win dow blin Is, p iperlull ird ball, boats, and wash basins, paper clothes and curtains, and uot the least important, as recent cxpeii mt nts have demonstrated paper-car wheels From an exchauge we lea in that a Con uecticut railroad is about to make trial of these new wheels, which have been known to car builders for some time though their general introduction has been hindered by'tbe 'expense. These wheels are made by the following process : Sheets of ci in moil straw paper are forced into a com pact nias-s by a pressure of three hundred and fifty tons. The solid mass of paper thui formed is placed iu a lathe and turn ed perfectly round. After which, a bub is forced info a hole in the center, under a pressure of twenty five tons. This pa per wheel, or disk, is now forced, under u pressure of two hundred and fifty tons, iuto a steel tire, with a otic hall inch be vel upon its inuer circumlerrnt'e. Two circular iron plates are l hen bolted on to .the tire to keep the paper titling in place. Hy this arrangement the steel tire rctfts upon the paper only, and is thus rendered more elastic, a quuiitviof great importance, as regards both the safety and comfort of travelers How to Cook Bean3. 'Very many people fail in cooking beans. Put ihe beans in cold water, soft, an 1 Jet them soak three or sour bouts. ' Then put these leans in cold water (two quarts of water to one quart of beans, ad ding tablcspoonful of salt), bring them to a b jl unJ let them simmer until lender, say lVi7 and a half hours Pour the wa ter ii way liom them ; let themi stand by ihe side " of the fire, with ihe lid of ihe saucepan partially off, to allow the beans to dry, then add one ounce of butter for every quart of beau, and a scatouing of pepper aud salt.

A coorcspondent wii'esn the Country Gentti man a follows : 1 would like vety much to have some safe advice as to whether it is advan tageous to harrow wheat in tlie spring, especially drilled wheat, and how it should be harrowed whether across tho drilling or with it and whether it should be rolled, and if so, whether it is better to roll before the iiarrow or afler ; and it to be seeded in grass, timothy or clover, wbr-n the grass seed should be sowu ? To which the editor replies : We have succes-lully harrowed wheat in spring. ippeifVng the operation two or three times at interval of about a week, until the wheat was a loot high or a.ore. The result was quite successful, and th crop wa liicrt-a-t-d ov-r five bushels per acre. The implement ud w is iht smooth ing Iiarrow. which pulverizes the eailh without injuring the plant At ihe last harrowing, clover see l was sown, u it look better th an another sowing early in spring in the usual way without hat row ing. This n oieof harrowing may be ap plied ti wheat sown broadcast or drilled, equally well, and it makes little ditlereneo whether the harrow it run with it across the drill. We do not sec any advantage in rolling wheat, except in ca-c ihe wheat has" been heaved by frost, when it has bectl thought useful by pressing the plauts back into the soil.
