ABSTRACT Off THU PRIGSIDENTIS MRS-
BAUR.
.The President's Message was sent into
Congress on Wednesday, but did not
reach here in time to enable us to publish
it.in fall, and we can 'do no better this
week than to furnish our readers with an'
abstract. It is mach shorter than docu
ments of its class have usually been; and
with the exception ot one topic, that of
reconstruction, it does not enter into any
extended argument of ihe questions thiit
interest the public. The President is esp.
paTently, satisfied with letting his Secreta
ries discuss the matters connected with
their reskiective departments, contenting,
himself with a mere reference to the con
dition of each item of the public busi
ness, and calling the attention 'of the
reader to the more full consideration of
the subject embraced in the departmental
. -
reports.:
Ile-refers to the improved condition of
our foreign relations, and says we are now
on the best of terms with all the nations
of Europe. .
The right of sutfrage, he claims, has
often been assumed and exercised by
aliens, under pretence of naturalization;
which they have disavowed when drafted
into the military service. He submits the
expediency of such an_amendmerit of the
law, es will make the fact of voting an
estoppel against any plea of exemption
from military service or other civil obli
gation, on the ground of alienage.
In common with other Western powers
our relations with Japan have been
brought into serious jeopardy through the
perverse opinion of the hereditary aris
tocracy of the Empire of the enlightened
and liberal policy of the Tycoon, designed
to'bring the country in the society of na
tions. It is hoped, although not-with en
tire confidence, that the difficulties may
be peacefully ov e rcome.
The receipts duringithe year from all
smarms, including loans and the balance
in the Treasury at its commencement, :
were: $901,125,674 $6, and the aggregate
disbursements $895,796,630 65; leaving a
balance on the Ist 'of July, 1863, of 55,-
329,044 21.
elf' the receipts. there were received
from Customs, 569.019,642 40; from Inter
nal Revenue, ~37,640, 7x7 95:, from Direct
tax, :$1,4e5,10:1 61; from Lands, 5167,617
17 ; from Miscellaneous Sources, $3,046,-
615 47 ; and from loans,
,1776,682,361 57,
- making an aggregate of 5q01,125,674 86.
Cif the / ( disbursements there were for the
civil service $23,253,922 OS ; for pensions
artdAndians $1,216,526 59 ; for interest
on publie debt, $24,729,846 03; for the war
debt $.59`),298,600 83; for the Navy
Do
partment $63,211,105 28 ; for payment of
funded and temporary debt $181,086,135
07, making the aggregate $.495,796;630 G 5,
and leaving the balance of $5,329,044 21,
But the payments of the funded and
tear arary debt having been nude from'
monies borrowed during the year must be
regarded as merely nominal payments
and the monies borrowed to make them,
as merely nominal receipts and their
amounts, $181,030,635 07, should there
fore be deducted both from receipts and
disbursements.
' This being done, there remains as ac
tual receipts, $720,039,039 79, and the ac
tual disbursements, $714,709,995 58, leav
ing the balance already stated. It is but
ficient to say hero. that it is not believed ,
-that actual results will exhibit a state of
the finances less favorable to the country
than the estimates of that officer hereto
fore submitted, while it is confidently ex
pected that at the close of the year both
_disbursements and debt will be found
veryionsiderably less than has been anti
cipated. ;
From returns received at the Navy:De
partment it appears that more than 1,000
vessels have been capture'] since' the
blockade was - instituted, and that the
value of prizes already sent in for adjudi
. cation amount to over $13,000,000. The
naval force of the United States consists
at this time of 588 vessels completed and
in course of construction, and of these 75
are iron -clads or armored steamers. The
armored vessels in our navy completed
and in service or which are under con
tract - . and approaching completion, are
believed to exceed in number those of
any other power, but while these may be
relied upon for harbor defense and , coast
„ervice, others of greater extent and ca
pacity will be necessary for cruising pur
poses and to maintain our rightful posi
tion on the ocean.
During the past fiscal year the financial
condition of the Post Office Department
has been • one of increasing prosperity,
" and 1 sun gratified in 'being able to state
that the actual postal revenue has nearly
equilled the entire expenditure, the lat
ter amounting to $11,314,200 84, and the
fOrmer to $11,163,789 59, leaving a dk.
ciency of but $140,414 25. In 186 Q, the
year immediately preceding the rebellion,
the deficiency amounted to $5,656,705 49,
. The postal receipts being $2,643,72.2 19
lees than those 0f71863. The decrease
since 1860 in the annual amount of trans
portation has been about 25 per cent., but
_ the annual expenditure on account of the
lame, has been reduced 35 per cent. It
is manifest, therefore; that the Post - Office
Department may become self-sustaining
in a few years, even with a restoration of
the whole service.
The quantity of lands disposed of dm=
tug the last and first quarter of the Pre
sent. fiscal year was 3,841,549 acres, of
which 161,911 acres were sold for cash,
1,456,514 acres were taken up Under the
homestead law, and the residue disposed
of under laws granting lands for military
bountiel, for railroads, and for other pur
poses.' It also appears that the sale of
— the public land is largely on the increase.

nations,•and made great progress in sub

kansas have been cleared of the rebels,
and the complete opening of the Missis
sippi divides the so-called 'Confederacy
'into two distinct pans. Over 100,000 slaves

Accompanying the Siemage is a Prochi
mation offering aczneety to the people of
the South, but not to their public officers
and leaders. Befoie obtaining the adiiin:
tages offered by the 'Proclamation, they
are to take the following oath :
" I, do solemnly swear in the
presence of Almighty God, that T will
henceforth faithfully support, protect, and
defend the Conetitution of the. United
'States and the Union of the States there
' under, and that 1 will, in like manner.
abide by and faithfully support all acts of
Congress passed during the existing rebel
lion, with reference to slaves, so long and
' so far as not repealed, modified or held
void by Congress or by decision of the Su

proclamations of the President, made du
ring, the rebellion, having reference to
slaves, so long and so far as not modified
or declared 'void by decision' of the Su

The persons excepted from the benefits
of the foregoing provisions are, all who
are or still have been civil or diplomatic
agents orthe so-called Confederate Gov
ernment ; all who left judicial stations
under the United States to aid the rebel
lion ; all who are or shall have been mil
itary or naval officers of said so-called
Confederate Government, above the rank
of Colonel in the army and Lieutenant in
the navy ; all who left seats in the-United
States Congress to' aid the rebellion ; all
who have resigned commissions in the
army or navy of the United States and
afterwards aided the rebellion ; and all
who have engaged in any way in treating
coloredpersions or white persons in charge
of such, otherwise than lawfully, as prii
dners of war ; and which persons may
have been found in the United States
service as soldiers, sten, or in any oth
er capacity.
He further proclaims "that whenever 1
'in any of the States of Arkansas, Texas,
1' Louisiana, lilissiesippi, Tennessee, Alabama
Georgia, Florida, South . Glsrolina and
North Caroline, a number of persons, not
leas than one-tenth of the votes cast in
such states at the Presidential election of
the year of our Lord 1880, each having
taken the oath aforesaid, and not having
since violated it, -and being qualified
voter by the election of the State ex isting
immediately before the so-called act of
secession, and excluding all other, shall
reestablish a State government which
shall be republican and in no wise con
travening said oath, such shall be &cog
nized aa the true government of the States,
and the State shall receive thereunder the
benefit of the Constitutional provision
which decimal that the United States
shall guarantee' to every State in this
Union a republican form of government,
and;shall protect each of them against in
vasion on application of the Legislature,
or of the Executive, when the Legislature
cannot be convened, against domestic
violence.
'Any provision which may be adopted
by such State government in relation to
the freed peopleof stiehState, which shall
recognize and declare their permanent
freedom, provide for their education, and
which may yet be consistent as a temp‘i
rary , arrangement with their present eon !
dition' as a laboring landless and house
lea class, will not be objected to bylle
National • Executive.
And it is engaged as , not impropertbat
in constructing a loyal State government
in . any State, the name of the State, the
boundary, the subdivisions, the constitu
tion and the general code of laws as before
the rebellion be maintained, subject only
to the modifications made neoessary by
the condition hereinbefore stated, and
such others, if any, not contravening said
conditions, and which may be deemed ex
pedient by those framing the new State
government.
He concludes the proclamation by say
ing that "while the mode presented is the
best the Executive can suggest with his
present impressions, it must net be un
derstood that' no other possible mode
would be acceptable." He declares that
while he remains in his present position,
he will not attempt to retract or modify
the emancipation proclamation, nor re
turn to'slavery any person who is free by
the terms of that proclamation, or by any
of the acts of Congress.

NATURALIZID ,ICrrizems.—The following
is believed to bei a correct estimate of the
number of natuialized citizens residing in
the 4Tnited Bt4es, with the countries
whence they have originated :—lreland,
1,611,000 ; Gerinan Mates, 1,198,000 ;

000; Denmark 4 10,000 ; Belgium, .9,000 ;
Poland, 7,000; Mexico, 7,000; the Antilles,
7,000 ; China, 5;000; Portugal, 4,000;' Prus
sia, 3,000; Turlcey, 28,000 ; various ,coun

Tat I&INLAID VOTa.—The vote at the
gubernational j election in Maryland last
year was 83,57 1. This year •the vote will
not reach 60,000, a decrease of more than,
23,000.• And pet thislwas a very import
ant election, memberi of Congress being
chosen, besides State and County • ofcers.
The majority for gieldsborough for Comp
troller is 20,000. Look at the Maryland
election in whatever; aspect you please,
and still you behold the effect of uncalled
for military interference.
COULICD i a Rem—Secretary Seward is
said to havi, informed a distinguished
Senator on Siturday, l l that at no time since
the war commenced had IliS advices from
Minister Adams and buten . been of so
cheering a character. The official senti
ment is undergoing a great charge in

sle with a greaknustake.. It haw matched,
countermarched, advanced, retreated,
fought, dug, labored, endured and bled,
simply to demonstrate, that the wind
which directed its moveineuts was pos
sessed by n huge blunder. Ten• times ov
er that demonstration has been made, but
the blunder has been still persiited in.
Spite has added stubborneesa s to stupidity,
and the army of the Potomac has paid
the heavy penalty. In July, ,
McClellan on the James river gave cavil
patiou to almost the entire force of the
rebellion.' Since that time, with the army
moved to the front of Washington, a third
of the rebel force has sufficed to keep it
at bay, and twice has been strong enough
to drive it northpf the Potomac. This
result was clearly foreseen by the best
military men in the country, andwe ask
attention now to the impressive words iu
which Gen. McClellan implored Halleck
to rescind his fatal, order, withdrawing the
army from the James.
The following is McClellan's letter :
RaltaLY, Va., Aug. 4-12 M.
Maj. Gen; Ilalleck, Commander in Chief : '
Y6ur telegram of last -evening is re
ceived. I must confess that it has caused
me the greatest pain I ever experienc4d,
for I am emitted that are order to withdraw
this army to Aquia Creek will prove dinutrous in
the extrtme to our cause. I fear it will It ,zja•
tal blow. Several days are necessary to
complete the preparations for.so import
ant a movement as this, and while they
are in progress. I beg that careful consid
eration may be given to my statement.
This army is now in excelent discipline
and condition. We hold a debouche on
both banks of the James River, so that we
are free to act in any direction, and, with
the assistance of the gunboats, I consider
our communication as secure.
We are twenty five miles from Rich
mond, and are not likely to meet the
emy in force sufficient to fight a battle
until we have reached fifteen to eighteen
miles, which brings u.t praetieally tcithin fen
miles of Richmond. 'Our largest line offend
transportation would be from this point
twenty-five miles, but with the aid of the
gunboats we can supply the army by
water, during its advance, certainly. to
within twelve miles-•of Richmond, At
Aquia Creek we would be seventy-five
miles from Richmond, with land trans
portation all the way. From hereto For- •
trees Monroe is a march of seventy mild,
for I regard it as impracticable to with
draw this army and lei material, except
by land. The result of the movement
would hue be to march 145 mild to reach
a point now orily„,2.C; miles di ant, and
to deprive ourselves entirely of - the pow
erful aid of the gunboats and water trans
portation. Add to the certain demoral
isation of this army, which would ensue,
the terribly depressing effect upon the
people of the North, and the strong prob
ability that it would influence foreign
powers to recognize our adversaries : and
these appear to .me sufficient reasons CO
- make it my imperative duty to urge,
in the strongest terms afforded by our
language, that order be rescinded,
and that far from.l. ling this army, it
may be promptly reinforced, to enable it
to resume the offensive.
It may be said that there are no rein
forcements available. I, point to Gerieral
Burnside's forces, to those of Gen. Pope,
not necessary to maintain a strict defense
is front* Washington and Harper's Fer
ry ; to, those portions of the Army of the
West notT required for a strict defense
there. Here, directly in frtml of this arras,
the heart tif the Rebellion. It is here that all
our resources should be collected to strike the
blew which will determine the fate elate naiion.
Alt points of secondary importance elsewhere
should be' abandoned , and every available man
brought here, and the military strength of the
Rebellion is crushed. It matters not what par
tial reverses we may meet with elsewhere; here
is the true defense of Washington; it is here on
the banks- of the Tames River that the 144 of
the Union should be decided. • I •
Clear in my conviction of right, strong
in the consciousness that I have ever been,
and still am actuated solely by love of My
country, knotting that no - ambitious or
selfish motives have influenced me 'from
the commencement of this war, I do now,
what I never. did in my life before. I en
treat that this order may be rescinded. If
my counsel does not prevail, I will with a
sad heark obey your order to the utmost
of my power, devoting to the movement,
one of the utmost delicacy and difficulty,
whatever skill I may
. possess, and may
God grant that I am mistaken in my are
boding*. I shall at least have the inter
nal satisfaction that I have written and
spoken frankly, and have sought to do
the best in my power to arrest disaster
from my country.
