I have thought it proper to refer to those iacts, not only to explain the couses \ of the delay in filling the commission, bsit to call your attention to the propriety of increasing the compensation of the com misfcionirs. The office is one of great labor and responsibility, and the compen sation should be such as 10 command men of a higl) order of talents and the most unquestionable integrity. The proper disposal < f the mineral lands of California is a subject surrounded by great difficulties. In my last annual message 1 recommended tire survey and 6aleofthem in small parcels, under such restrictions as would cfl'cc ually guard a gainst monopoly and. spocu a ion. But * , upon further information, and in deference to the opinions of persons familiar with the subject, 1 am inclined to change that recommendation, and to advise that they be permitted to remain, as at present, a common field, open to the enterprise and indnsii'y of all our citizens, un'il further experience shall have developed the best policy to be ultimately adopted in regard 10 them, his saftfr to sutler the incon veniences that now exist, for a short per iod, than, by premature legislation, to las ten on the country a system founded in trrui, which may place the whole subject boyondlhe future control of Congress. The agricultural lands should, however be surveyed and brought into market witli as little delay as possible, that the titles may become settled, and inhabitants stimu lated to make permanent improvements, and enter on the ordinary pursuits of life. To effect those objects it is desirable that the necessary provision be made by law for the establishment of land offices in Cal ifornia and Oregon, and for efficient pros ecution of the surveys at an early day. Some difficulties have occurred iu organ izing the Territoiial governments of New Mexico and Utah ; and, when more ac curate informatian shall be obtained of the causes, a further communication will be made on that subject. In my last aunnal communication to Congress 1 recommended tiic establish ment of an Agricultural Bureau, and 1 lake this occasion again to invoke your favorable consideration of the subject. Agriculture may justly be regarded as •the great interest of our people, Foor diftliß of our active population are employ ed in the cultivation of the soil, and the rapid expansion of our settlements over new territory is daily adding to the number of those engaged in that vocation. Justieo and sound policy, therefore, alike require that ,l.l)e Government should use all the m, aus au thorized by the Constitution to promote the interests and welfare ufihat important class of Obr fellow citizens. And yet it is a singular fact that, whilst the manufacturing and com mercial interests have engaged the altention of Cougress during a largo portion of every session, atidour statutes abound in provisions for their protection and encouragement, little •has yet been done directly for the advance ment of agriculture. It is time that this re proach to our legislation should be removed ; and 1 siueerely hope that the present Congress will not close their labors without adopting ef ficient means to supply the omissions of those who have preceded them. An Agricultural Bereau, charged with the duiy of collecting and dissemiuating correct information as to the best modes ot cultiva tion, and of the most eflectual means of pre serving and restoring the fertility of the soil, and of procuring and distributing seeds and plants and other vegetable productions, with •instructions in regard to the soil, climate and treatment best adapted to their growth, could •not fail to be, in the language of Washington, in his last annual message to Congress, a "ve ry cheap instrument of immense national ben efit." Regaling the act of Congress approved 28th September, 1850, granting bounty lands to persons who iiad been engaged in the mili tary service of the country, as a great meas mof national justice and munificence , an ious desire has been felt, by the officers .entrusted with its immediate execution, to give prompt efTeet to its provisions. All the meatis within their control were, therefore, brought in'.ci requisition to expedite the adju dication of claims, and 1 am gratified to be able to state that near one hundred thousand applications have been considered, and about seventy thousand warrants issued within the short space or nine months. If adequate pro vision is made by law to carry into effect the recommendations of the department, it is con fidently expected that, before the close ol the next fiscal year, all who are entitled to the benefits of the act will have teceived their warrants. The Secretary of the Intßrior lias suggested in his report various amendments of the laws relating to pensions and bounty lands, for the purpose of more effectually guarding against übuses and frauds on the Government, to all of which L invite your particular attention. The large accessions to our Indian popula lion consequent upon tho acquisition of New Mexico and California, and the extension of our settlements into Utah and Oregon, have given increased interest and importance to our relations with the aboriginal race. No marerial change has taken place, within the last year in the condition and prospects ol the Indian tribes who reside in the North western Territory and west of tiie Mississippi liver. We are at peace with all of them; and it will be a source of pleasure to you to learn that they are gradually advancing iu civ ilization and the pursuits of social lite. Among the Mexican frontier, and in Cali fornia and Oregon, there have been occasion al manifestations of unfriendly feeliug, and some depredations committed. I am satisfied, however, that they resulted more from the destitute and starving condition of the Indians than from any hostility towards the whiles.— As the settlements ot our citizens progress .towards them, tho game upon which they mainly rely tor tubsistance is driven off or destroyed, and the only allerm five left to them is starvation or plunder. It becomes us to consider, iu view of this condition of things, whether justice and humanity, as well as un •enlightened economy, do not require that, in stead of seeking to punish them lor offences which are the resultof our own policy towards them, we thould not ptovide for their imme diate wants and encourage them to engage in agriculture, and to rely on their labor, ytslead of the chase, for the means of support. Various important treaties have been nego tiated with different tribes during the year, by which their title to large and valuable tracts of country has been extinguised, all of which will, at the proper time, he submitted to the Senate for ratification. The joint commission under the treaty ot Guadalupe Hidalgo has been actively engaged in running and marking the boundary line be tween the United States and Mexico. It was stated, in the last annual report of tho Secre tary of tbe Interior, that the initial point on The Pacific and the point of junction ol the Gila with the Colorado river had been deter mined, and the intervening line, about one hundred and fifty miles in length, run and marked by temporary monuments. Since that time a monument of marble has been erected at tbe initial point, und permanent landmarks of iron have been placed at suita tle distances along the line. ( Continued on second Page.)

ABOUT two years ago a new discovery was made in Europe, consisting of a substitute for the ordinary store coffee, called Essence of Coflee, which has gone into gen eral use with astonishing rapidity, not only among the poorer classes, who at once dis pensed with the use of,the celebrated Chick ory Coffee, but is now in general use in the wealthiest families and the first hotels, and I is highly recommended by the medical fac ulty. | it is extracted from pure, wholesome veg etables. and excels all similar preparations that have ever been offered to the public, either in this country or iu Europe. Its su perior quality has already been attested to in the cities by some of the most eminent phys icians, and a number of the most distinguish ed of the clergy and other highly respectable citizens. Coffee made from this essence ac- I cording to the prescription obtains a more | delicious and pleasant favor than the com- I moo store coffee, and is certainly more ' wholesome, especially for persons in deli cate health, which will be admitted by eve ry physician who will take the pains to test the uatute and properties of this essence. One paper costing only 12 J ms., is equal to four pounds of store coflee, will be bright and clear without the application of any other ingredieut to clarify or settle it. The public are therefore invited to "ive this es sence at least a trial before they condemn it. A respectable merchant of Luzerne coun ty in writing of it saj s: "My customers have been using of the above Essence for some months past with general satisfaction ; and Ido not hesitate to recommend it to the public.

The afflicted are invited to cell and soc Mr Isaac Brooks, Jr., at the corner of Third and Wilcox streets, and Miss Christiana Sands, Beach street below Spruce street,* n the Sclruyl kill. These two persons have bteu snatched from the very jaws oF the destroyer, through the agency of that most potent of all medicines, DR. CULLEFTS INDIAN VEGETABLE PANACEA. Dr- Cullen's Panacea is the only cartain cure for Scrofula or King's Evil, Tetter, Erysipelas, Old Soros nnd Ulcers, Mercurial Discuses, and all other aficslions, cutaneous or olberwue, arising from impurities of the blood. In the extraordinary cure ofMr. Brooks, peo ple who visit him, hold up their hunds in as tonishment, that AMI medicine could have ar rested uis disease—then go away resolved to re commend Dr Cullen's Indian Vegetable Pana cea to every one they hear of who has need of a purifying medicine. So with Christiuna Sands—her cuje of Scrof ulous sore throat was quite as extraordinary as Mr. Brooks', when wo reflect that from the dis* case her tea or coflee would frequently pass out of her cars, when attempting to drink, [See her certificate.] The people aic beginning to undorslnnd, too that the various Syrups of Sarraparilla are little bettor than molasses, and that it is madness to throw away money on articles which, under the most favq|tble circumstances, do not produce any impression on the system until several gal ons have been swallowed. One bottle of Dr. Cullen's Panacea seldom fails to produce con viction in the minds of patients that a radical cure is certain. . Thushope, [<o necessary,an ally to medi cine.] springs up at tho outset, and the patient is cured before any other preparation could have made the slightest impression upon the disease ! In fact, the twelve ounce bottles of Dr. Cul len's Panacea, compared with the pint and quart bottles of other purificrd, aro valuable about in the proportion of gold to copper. Those who wou In prefer a penny to a half eagle, on accoun of its size, would make a poor selection to sat the least. Saisoparilla a good purther! Dr. Cullen's Panacea contains its oxtract in its most concen trated form. Added to this are other extracts, more active and powerful, and which effect in combination with the Sarsaparilla, what the Int tcr article, or combined with tho most powcrfu poisons, cannot nlonc accomplish. It has curod whore everything else had failed arid this in a multitude of cases—not in Europo or in the moon, (where so many great cures have been performed,) but in Philadelphia and other pafts of the union. And be it distinctly understood thnt we do not obtain our extracts by "boling 400 gallons down to one," it being known to evciy druggist's apprentice that boiling destroys the essential .virtues of medicinal plants and roots.

ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER I? 12 3> £3 E Stf 8 THE JEUE DIGESTIVE FLUID, on A Gieat Ihvpepsia curer, Prepared from IIEMIET, or the fourth Stomnch of Iho Ox, after directions of Baron Liebig, tiro great Physiological Chemist, by J. S. Houghton, M. D., No. 11, North Eighth Street, Phila delphia. Pa. This is a truly wonderful remedy fo r 'Tnd gostiqn, Dyspepsia, Jaudire, Liver Com plaint, Constipation, and Dobilily, Curing alter Nature's own method, by Nature's own agent, the Castric Juice. Ce*" Half a spoonlul of litis Fluid, infused in water, will digest or dissolve, Five Poundt of Boast Beef in about two hours, out of the ; stomach. DIGESTION. Digestion is Chiefly performed in the stomach by the aid of a fluid which freeljr exudes ftom the inner coat of that organ, when in a state ot health, eullcd the Gastric Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent of the Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula ting Agent of the stomach anJ intensliues. Without it there will be no digestion,—no conversion of food into blood, and no nu trition of the body; but rather a foal, torpid 1 , painful, and destructive condition of the whole digestive apparatn*. A weak, half dead, or injured stomach produces no good Gastric Juice, and honce the -'i*®*** dir ressand debility which en.rg.3. Persia ANU RENNET. — Pepsin is tn chirr element, or great Digesting Principle of (hoc Gastric Juice. It is found in great abun dance HI the solid parts of the human stom ach afterle ith, anil sometimes causes tha stomach to digest itself, or eat i'sclf up. It is ulso found in the stomach of animals, as. the ox, calf, &o. Jt is the material used by farmers in makirg cheese, called Rennet, the effert of which has long been the spe cial wonder of the dairy. The curdling of milk is the first process of digestion, lien net possesses astoiiishi' g power. The stom ach of a calf will curdle nearly one thou sand times its own weight of milk. Baro Liebig states that, 'One part of Pepsin dm solved in sixty thousand parts of water, wil digest incat and other food." Diseased stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice Rennet or Pepsin. To sltow that this want may be perlectly supplied, we quota tha following SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE! BARON LIKBIU, in Lis celebrated work on nimal Chemistry, says : "An Artificial Di estive Fluid analago us to the Gastric Jtiico, may he readily prepared from the nucoua gniembrane of the stomach of the Call, which various articles of food, as meat and eggsj will be softcneu, changed, and diges ted, just in the same manner as they would be in the human stomach." Dr. l'creira, in his famous treatise on "Food and Diet," published by Fowlers Si Wells, New York, page 35. states the same great fact, and describes the method of prep aration. There are few higher authorities than Dr. Poreira. Dr Combe, in his valuable writings on the "Physiology of Digestion," observe that "a diminution of tho due quantity of the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all-pre vailing cause of Dyspepsia;" and he state, that "a distinguished professor of medicine in London, who was severely afflicted win this complaint, finding every thing else to fail, had recourse to the Gastric Juice, ob tained from the stomach of living animals which proved completely successful." Dr. Graham, author of the famous work on "Vegetable Diet," says: "it is a remar kable fuel in physiology, that llio stomachs of animals, macerated in water, impart to the fluid the properly of dissolving various articles of food, and of effecting a kind of artificial digestion of them in no wise dif ferent from the natural digestive process." Dr. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry of Man," (Lea & Blam-hard, Phi la.. 1846, pp. 3212): "The discovery of PEPSIN fo IDS a hew era in the chemical history of Di geslion. From recent experiments we know that food is dissolved as rapidly in an artificial digestive fluid, prepared from IVp sin, as it is in the natural Gastric Juice it self." Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson Col lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on Hu man Physiology, devotes more than fifty pages to an examination of this subject. His experiments with Dr Beaumont, on the Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hu man stomach and from animals art) well known. "In oil cases," he "digestion occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the natural digestions." As a DYSPEPSIA CURER, Dr Houghton'* preparation of Pepsin has produced the most marvellous eflects, curing cases of De bility, Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and dispeptic Consumption, supposed to be on the very verge of the grave, h is imposs ble to give the details of cases in the limit of this advertisement—but authenticate certificates have been of more than two hun dred Item-likable Cures, in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston alone. These worn nearly all desperate cases, and the cure* were not only rapid and wonderful, but per manent. It is a great Nervous Antidote, and par ticularly useful for tendency to billious dis order, Liver Complaint, Fevor and Ague, or badly treated Fever and Ague, and the ev il eflects of Quinine, Mercury, and other drug upon llio D.gestive organs, after a long sick ness. Also, for excess in eating, and the too free use of ardent spirits. It almost rec onciles Health with intemperance.
