naval.
. A revision of the code for 'the government
of the navy seems to rcqaire the immediate
consideration of Congress. Its system of crimo
and punishments had undergone no change for
half century, until the last session, though
its defects have been often and ably pointed out
and the abolition of a particular species of
corporal p'lnishman t. whijlj then took place
without providing any substitute, h as left the
service in a state of defectiveness, which calls
for prompt correction. I therefore recommend
that the whole subject be revised without delay
and such a system establihed for the enforce.
ment of discipline, as shall bo at once liu:n-ne
- and effectual.
The accompanying report of the Postmaster
General, presents a satisfactory view of the
operations and condition of that Department.
At the close of the last fiscal year, the length
of the inland mail routes in the United Stales
- (not embracing the service in Oregon and Cal
ifornia) was one hundred and seventy eijhi
thousand six hundred and seventy-two miles;
the annual transpoptation thereon fortyaix
. mill ions five hundred and forty-one thoustnd
four hundred and twenty-three milts, and ih
annual cost of such trans pot tat ion two millions
seven hundred and twenty four, thousand fiur
hundred and twenty six dollars
The, increase of the annual tranportat lou
over thit of the preceding year, wat thro mil
lions nine hundred and ninety-seven thousand
three hnndrerl ani fifty. four miles and tho in
crease in cost was three hundred and forty -two
' thousand four hundred and forty dollars.
The number of post offices in the United
Stales, on the 1st day of July last, was 18,417
being an inereisc of 1670 during the prece
ding year.-
The gross revenue of the Department for
the fiscal year ending Juno 3Jth 1859, amount,
ed to 55,559.871 43. including the annual ap
propriation of S23!,010 for fie franked matter
of the departments, a id excluding the foreign
patlages collected far and payable to the Brit- I
' Government.
The expenditures fr l'ie same psriol were
3,212,953 43 leaving a b.lauce of revenue
over expenditures of $340,018 05. I
I am happy to fiud that the fiscal condition
of the Department is such as to justify tliu
Postmaster General in recommending the re.
duction of our inland postage to three cents
the single letter when prepaid, and five cents
when not prepaid. He also recommends that
the prepaid rate shall be reduced to two cents
whenever the revenues of the Department, af
ter the reduction, shall exceed its expenditures
by more than five per cent, for two consecutive
years: that the postage upon California and
other letters sent by our ocean steamers shall
bo much reduced; and that the rate of postage
on newspapers, pamphlets, periodicals, and
other printed matter shall be mo l.fied, and
fome roduction thereon made.
It cannot be doubted that tho propos-d reduc
tions wilt, for the present, diminish the revenues
of the Deiarlmrnt. It is te!ievid that the de
ficicney, after the i-urilne already aecumu'.a'e 1
shall be exhausted, may be almost wbuiis met;
cither by abolishing the existing privileges of
- sending free matter through xhe mails, or by!
paying out of the Treasury to the Post Office
Department a sum equivalent to the portage of
which It is deprived by such privileges. The
last is supposed to be the preferable mode, and
will, if not entirely, so nearly supply thnt ds.
ficiency as to make any further appropriation
that may be found necessary ao iuonsi leralilo
as to form no obstic'e to the proposed redac
tions. I entertain no dou'it of the anhority of Con
gtcss to make appropriations for leading objects
in tli at class of public wcrks comprising what
are usually called works ef internal improve
ment. This authority I suppose to be derived
chiefly from tho power of regulating commerce
with foreign nations, and among the States,
and the power of laying end collecting imposts.
Where commerce is to be carried on, and im
posts colIectcJ, thero must be ports, and har.
bors, as well asnharves and custom houses
If ships, laden with valuable cargoes, approach
the shore, or sail along tho coast , lijfluhu isea
are necessary at suitable point for the protec.
lion of life and property. 0( her facilities and
securities for commerce and navigation are
' hardly less important; and tuoso clauses of tin
Constitution therefore, to which I hive refer
red, have received from the origin of. the Gov
ernment a liberal and beneficial construction.
Not only have lighthouses, buoys and beacons
-been established, and filiating lights in untam
ed, but harbors have been cleared and improv.
ed, piers constructed, and even brcakwat eis for
torj safety of shipping, and sea walls to protect
bulbars lro:a being filled up, and rendered use
less, by tho action of tho ocean, have bf-en
erected at very great expense. And this nn.
slruction of the Constitution apieer n.'ic nio'e
reasonable from the consideration, that ii' ti,ee
works, of such evident importance and utility,
. are not to be accomplished by C--u '.' tsss, they
ca.imt be acc.Hi,lirbtf J at ill. tjy tho aJ'ip
lion ot the Constitution tho several states vol
untarily parted with the power of collecting
duties of impost in their own ports; and it is
not to be expected that they should raise, money
by internal taxation, direct or indirect, for the
benefit of that commerce,. the revenues dorioi
from which do not, either in whole or in part
go into their own treasuries. Nor do I per
ceive any difference betwoen the power of Con
gress to make appropriations for similar pbjects
of this kind on the o;ean, and the power t
make appropriations on similar objects oh lakes
and livers, wborever they are large enough to
bear on their waters an extensivo trafic
The maguificent Mississippi and its
tributaries, and the vast lakes of the north
and the northwest, appear to me to fall
ivit'zlu the exercise of the power, as justly
and as clearly as the Ocean and the Galf
of Mexico. It is a mistake to regard .ex
penditures judiciously made for these ob
jects as expenditures for local purposes.
The position, or site of the work, is neces
sarily local; but its utility is ireneral. A
ship canal around the fall cf St. Mary of
Jeestaao a mile in length, though local in
its construction, would be national in its
purposes and its benefits, as it" would" re-j
njoe the only obstruction to scnavigation
of "more than a thousand miles, affecting
several States; as well as our commercial
relations with Canada. So, too, the
'Breakwater at the month of the Delaware

the States bordering on tht bay and rier
ot tnat name, but for that ol the whole!

aud, to a considerable extent," also, or for
eign commerce. If a ship be lost on the
bar at the entrance of a southern port for
want of sufficient derjtli of water, it is virv
( likely to be a Horthcn ship; and if K steam
boat 'be sunk i:r any-part of the Mississiti-
ji, ou account ol its channel not having
been properly cleared of obstruction?, it

of ten States. 1 may add, as somewhat
remarkable, that among "all of the thirty
one States, there is none that is not, to a
greater or less extent,' bounded on the
ccean, or the Gulf of Mexico, or one of
the great lakes, or Some navigable river.
. lu fulfilling our constitutional duties,
Icliow citizens, on this subject, as carrying
into effect - all other powers conferred by
the Constitution, we should consider our
selves as deliberating and acting for one
and the same country, aud bear constant
ly in mind, tha t our regard and our ilntv
are due, not to a particular part onlv, but
to me wnoie. -
I -therefore recommend that appropria
tions be made for completing such works
as have already been begun, and for com
mencing such others as may seem to the
wisdom of Congress to be of public and
general importance.
The difficulties and delays incident to
the settlement of private claims bv Con.

many unfortunate creditors of the Govern
ment have thereby been' unavoidably ru
ined. Congress has so much business of
a public character, that it is impossible it
should give much attention to mere private
claims; claimants must despair of ever be
ing able to obtain a hearing. It may well
be doubted whether Congress, from the
nature of its organization, is properly con
stituted to decide upon such cases. It is
impossible that each member should ex
amine the merits of every claim on which
he is compelled to vote; and it is prepos
terous"lo ask a jude to decide a case
which he has never heard. Such decis
ions may, and frequently must, do injus
tice either to the Government or the clai
mant, and I perceive no better remedy for
this growing evil than establishment of
some tribunal to adjudicate upon such
claims. I beg leave, therefore, most res
pectfully, that provisions be made by law
for the appointment of a commission to
settle all private claims against the U. S.;
and as an exparte hearing must in all con.
tested cases be very unsatisfactory, I also
recommend the appointment of a Soliciter
whose duty it shall be to represent the
Government before such commission, and
protect it against all illegal, fradulent or!
unjust claims which may be presented for!

and for the purpose of conciliation. :I be
lieve that a great majority of our fellow

prepared, iu all respects," to sustain these
enactments. I cannot doubt that the Am

blood and common traditions, still cherish
a paramount regard for the Uniou of their
fathers; and that they are ready to rebake
any attempt to violate, its integrity, to dis
turb the compromise on which it is based,
or to resist the laws which have been en
acted under its authority.
The series of measures to which I have
alluded are regarded by me as a settlement

ment Of the danfferous and excitinrr sub
jects which they embraced. Most of these
suDjects, indeed, are beyond your reach,
as the legislation which disposed of them
was, in its character, final and irrevocable.
It may be presumed from the opposition
which they all encountered that none of
those measures was free from imperfec
tions, but in their mutual dependence aiid
connexion they formed a system of coin
promise, the most conciliatory, and best
for the entire country, that could be ob
tained from conflicting sectional interests
and opinions.
For t h is reason I recomrnend your adherence
to the adjustment established by those meas.

guard against evasion or abuse.

The Message-
In advance of most of our country co
temporaries, we present our readers with
the Annual Message of the President of
the United States. A llhouo-h we do not
like many of the measures advocated by
the President, it must be ai.-nitted that,
in a literary point of view, the message
is a very able state paper, arid Worthy the
careful perusal of every American.
We received it yesterday morning,
when most of the matter for this week'f
paper had been prepared and in type?
but deeming the message of more im
portance in the eyes of patrons than
any thing else, we have excluded our
usual variety in order to furnish them
with it. We must ask the indulgence of
many of our advertising friends for t!:c
oaiisaion of their favors in this number.

'There was a great deal of starvation
among the emigrants at the head waters
of Humboldt's and St. Mary's Rivers. I
have seen three dollars per pound offered
and refused for flour and pork. Whilst I
was with my team, I gave away all the
provisions Iliad to spare, and when. I
was packing my provender on my . back,
I divjded with several poor devils who
appeared . so famished as to be scarcely
able to travel another mile without some
thing to eat. My advise to those who
desire to come to this country is never to
attempt to do so by land, as thousands
have this year left their bones to bleach
upon the plains.
When I arrived here, I went to work
at making gold washers, which I followed
but a short' time. I am now keeping a
grocery and making gold cradles, and am
raising a house for protection during the
approaching rainy season. I hope to
make some money here. Some miners
are doing well, and making their fortunes,
but there are thousands who scarcely
make their board, and are anxiously
awaiting an opportunity - to strike -for
home. There is plenty of .gold here,
however, but it takes iime, perseverance
and hard labor to procure it. And after
a man has got it, he must know how to
keep it, for every inducement is held'out
to him to spend it in the way of gambling
houses and liquor shops. I believe that
there is a hundred chances here for a
young man to make money to one in the
States, and I intend to try my hand at it,
so you may rest easily about me, as I
have no idea when I will return home.
Enclosed I send you a few specimens of
California gold. Remember. me kindly
to all old' friends and acquaintances. "

Awfol Tornado and Loss of Life.
Cixcixxati, November 30.
A terrific tornado, at Cape Girardeau,
Mo., occurred yesterday, with great loss
of life and destruction of property. The
Baptist and Catholic Churches, the Cath
olic Convent, and the Telegraph Masts,
arc destroyed. The steamer Saranac, No.
2, was blown to pieces.
About two o'clock, on the same even
ing, the most destructive tornado which
has been experienced in the Mississippi
Valley for several 3ears past, swept over
the town of Cape Girardeau, demolishing
some seventy or eighty of the finest build
ings of thejtown. Two splendid telegraph
masts offhe St. touis and New-Urleans
Telegraph Co., were blown down and
broken as though they were pipe stems.
The town is literally laid wastei and the
loss is very great. Many lives were lost,
and numerous persons badly injured. A
cow was unceremoniously lifted up and
deposited in the top of a tree, about forty
feet from the ground.
The steamer Saranac, No. 2, which
had just rounded to, had all her upper
works blown off, and several persons on
her were badly injured. The wharf boat
also was blown from her moorings and
badly wrecked. .
