Very favorable rela- ; done also continue to be maintained with Turkey, Morrocco, China and Japan. Du ring the last year there has not only been i no change of our previous relations with the independent states of our own continent,but more friendly sentiments than have heretq . fore existed, are believed to be entertained by these neighbors whose safety and pro 1 gress are so intimately connected with our t oWn. This statement especially applies to Mexico, Costa, Rica; Nicaragua, Honduras,. Peru, and Chili. The commission under 1 the convention with the Republic of jNew Grenada closed its session with having audited and passed open all the claims which were submitted to- it. A proposition is pending to revive the convention, that it ! may be able to do more complete justice. The Commission between the United States 1 and the Republic of Costa Rica has com pleted its ilabors, and submitted its report, i I have favored the project for connecting . the’United States with Europe by an At- i lantic telegraph, and a similar project to extend the telegraph from San Francisco to connect bya Pacific telegraph with the wire, which is being extended across the Russian .empire., i The territories of the United States with unimportant exception have remained un disturbed by- the civil war, and they are exhibiting such evidence of prosperity as justifies an expectation, that some of them will soon be in a condition to be organized as.states, and be constitutionally admitted into the Federal Union. The immense mineral resources of some of those territor ies onght to be developed as rapidly as pos sible. Every step in that direction, would have a pendency to improve the revenues of the government and diminish the burdens of the people. It is worthy of your serious consideration whether some extraordinary measures to promote that end cannot be adopted. - The means which suggests itself as most likely to be effective is a scientific exploration of the mineral regions in ’ these territories with a view to the publication of its results at home and in foreign countries —results which cannot fail to bo auspicious. The" condition, of the finances will claim your most diligent consideration. The vast .expenditures incident to the military and naval operations required for the suppres sion of the rebellion haVe hitherto been met with a promptude and certainty unusual iu' similar circumstances, and the public credit has been fully maintained. The. continuance of the war, however, and the increased disr pnreemeuts made necessary by the augment ed forces now in the field, demand your best reflections as to the best modes of providing the ' necessary revenue without injury to business and with the least possible burdens upon labor. The suspension of specie pay ments by the banks soon after the -com mencement of your last session, made large issues of United States-notes unavoidable. In no other way could the payments of the troops and the satisfaction of other jnst commands be so-economically, eras well provided for.. The judicious legislation of Congress securing the feceivability of these notes-for loans and internal .duties, and ma king them a “legal tender” for other debts, has ‘made them universal currency /and has satisfied, partially at least, and tor the time, the jr.ng.fplt want of an uniform circulating medium, saving thereby to the people im* mence sums in discounts and exchanges.' A return to specie payments, however, at the earliest period compatible with due re gard to alHhterests, should ever be kept in, .view. " , fluctuations in the value of currency are' always injurious, and to reduce these flue-’ tuations to the lowest possible point, will; always be' a leading purpose in wise legisla tion. ' i - uConvertibility, prompt and certain conver tibility into com, is generally acknowledged tu be the best and : surest against them, and! it is extremely doubtful whether a circula tion of United States notes,payable in coin, and sufficiently large for the wants of the Sle can be permanently, UBefully, and y maintained- Is there then any other mode in which the necessary provision for the public wants can be made, and the gfeaf advagtagesdf a safe and uniform car-- I I know of none whj(ih »h ScfcoteD to tfte Srtrnflfon of tftt area of iFmOom t&c Sjirraß of ©eaXt&j? i&efotrm.

To such associations the government migh furnish circulating .notes, on the oi United States bonds deposited in the Trea sury. . These notes, prepared under tin supervision of proper officers, being uniform in appearance and security, and convertible ■always into coin, would at once protect la bor against the evils of a' vicious currency and facilitate commerce by' cheap and salt exchanges!. A moderate reservation from the interest on the bonds would compensate the United States for the-preparation and distribution of the notes, and'a general sn pervision of the system, and would lighten the burden of that part of the public-debt employed as securities. The public credit, moreover, would be greatly improved, and the negotiation of new loans greatly facili tated by the steady n\arket demand for gov ernment bonds, which the • adoption of the proposed system would create. It is an additional recommendation of the measure, of considerable weight in my judgment,that if would reconcile as far as possible all ex isting interests by the opportunity offered to existing institutions to reorganize under the act substituting’ only the secured uni form national circulation for the local and various circulation, secured and unsecured, now issued! by them. The receipts into the Treasury from all sources, including loans and balance.from the preceding year, for the fiscal year ending on the 30th June, 1862, were 8583,885,247,06, of which sum $49,- 056,397,62. were derived from customs; $1,795,331,73 from the directtax from pub lic-lands ; $152,203,77, from miscellaneous sources; $931,789,64, from loans in all forms ; 529,692,460,40. , The remainder $2,557,061,80, was the balance from last year. The disbursements - during the same period’Vere: for congressional, executive, and judicial purposes, $5,939,009,29; for foreign intercourse, $1,339,710,35 ; for mis cellaneous expenses, including the mints, loans, postoffice deficiencies,; collection of revenue, and other-like charges, $14,129,- 771,50; for. expenses under the Interior Department, $3,102,985,52’; under the War Department, $394,368,407,36; under the Navy Department, $42,674,569,69; for in-! terest on the public debt, $13,190,324,45;; and for the payment of the public debt, in- 1 eluding reimbursement of temporary loan I and redemptions, $96,096,922,09 ; making 1 and aggregate of $570,841,700,25, and leaving a balance in the (Treasury on the, first day of July, 1862, of $13,043,546,81. It should be observed that the sum of $96,- 096,922,09', expended for reimbursments' and redemption of the pdblic debt, being included also in the loans made, may be i properly deducted both 'from the receipts and expenditures, leaving f he actual receipts for the year $487,787,324,97; and the expenditures $404,744,778,16. Other infer-, motion on the subject of finances will be found in the report of lhs Secretary of the Treasury, to whose statement and views 1 invite yonr most candid and considerate at tention. The reports of the Secretaries of: the Navy, and War are herewith transmitt* J ed. These reports, though lengthy, are I scarcely more than brief abstracts of the I very numerous and extensive transactions 1 and operations conducted through these De-' partmeftts.: Nor could I give a summary of 1 them here upon any principle which would admit |of its being much shorter than the . reports themselves. . I therefore content \ myself with laying the reports before you, and asking: your atteqtionj to them. It gave me pleasure to, report a decided’ improvement in the financial condition of the Postoffice Department as compared with preceding years. The receipts for- the fiscal year 1861,amounted to $8,349,296,40,which embraced the revenue from all the states of the Union; for three-quarters of that year. Notwithstanding the cessation of revenue from the so-called seceded states during the last fiscal year. The increase of the, cor respondence of the loyal states has been sufficient to produce a revenue during the same year of $8,299,829,90, being only $50,000 leis than was derived from all the states of the Union during the previous year. The expenditures show a still .more favorable result. The amonnt expended in 1861 was $13,606,759,11. For the last year the amount has bejen reduced to SVS,- showing a decrease of about $2,481,000; in the expenditures. As com pared with! the preceding year, about $3,- 750,000, as compared with the fiscal year 1860. The deficiency in the department for the previous year was $4,551,966,98. For the last fiscal year it was reduced to $2,112,814.57. These favorable results are in -part owing to the- cessation of mail ser vice in the insurrectionary states, and in part to'a casnal review of alt expenditures in that degartment/.in the interest of econ omy. The efficiency of the • postal service, it is believed, has also been much improved. The Postmaster General also opened a cor respondence through , the Department of State with foreign governments, proposing a convention of postal representatives, for die purpose of simplifying the rates of fore ign postage and toexpedite theforeign mails. T his proposition, equally important to onr adopted citizens and to’the commercial in- ; Wrests of this' country, has : ‘ been favorably entertained and agreed to by all the govern ments from whom replies have been receiv ed. 1 ask the attention of Congress to the suggestions of the Postmaster General in his report respecting the.further legislation ‘ re quired, in his opinion, for the benefit of the postal; service.
