iw WWM, but remain in the Government and subject to its control until some portion of the n>ad bus beeu ao tually built. Portions of them might tjien, from time to time, oe convey ed to corporation, but never in greater ra tio to the whole quantity embraced by the grant than the completed parts bear to the entire length of the projected impiove inent, This restriction would not operate k to the prejudice of any undertaking con ceived in good faith and executed with reasonable energy, as it is the settled prac tice to withdraw from market the lands (ailing within the operation of such grants, and thus to exclude inception of a subse quent adverse right. A breach of the * conditions which Congress may diem prop Tto impost- .-hould work a forfeiture ofpiaitu to 'he lands to withdrawn but un eouveyed, and of title to the iands convey ed which remain unsold. Operations on the several lines of the lVteilic Kaiiroad have been prosecuted with unexampled vigor and success, — Nliouln no unforseen causes of dtlay occur, it i confidently anticipated that this great thoroughfare w ill be completed before the expiration of the period designated by Congress. During the la.-t fiscal year the amount paid to pensioners, including the expenses of disbursement, w as thirteen mi'lions four hundred and fifty-nine thousand nine hun dred and ninety-six dollars and fifty thou sand one hundred and seventy seven names were added to the pension rolls.— The entire number of pensioners, June 30, loGO, was one hundred and twenty-six thousand seven hundred and twenty-two. This fact furnishes melancholy and striking prootofthe sacrifices ma le to vindicate the constitutional authority of the Feder al Government, and to maintain inviolate the integrity of the Union. They impose upon us corresponding obligation. It is estimated that thirty-three million dollars will be required to meet the exigencies of this branch of the service during tae next fiscal year. Treaties have boon conclude ! with the Indians, who, enticed into armed opposi tion to our Government at the outbreak ot the rebellion, have unconditionally submit ted to our authority, and manifested an earnest desire for a renewal of friendly re lations. Dining the year ending September 30, 1806, eight thousand seven hundred and sixteen patents tor useful inventions and d- -igns w el'tf issued, ail I at that date the balance in the Treasury to the credit-of 1 lie Fat ant fund was two bunded and twentv-eight thousand two hundred and ninety-seven dollars. As' a subject upon which depends an immense amount of the product on and commerce of the country, I recommend to Congress such legislation as may be neces sary tor the preservation of the levees of the Mtssippi river. It is a matter of na tional importance that early steps should be taken not only to add to the efficiency of these barriers against destructive inun dations, but for the removal ot all obstiue tions to the free and sato navigatiou ot that great channel ot trade and commerce. The District of Columbia, under existing laws, is not entitled to that representation in the National Councils which, from our earliest history, has been uniformly ac corded to each Territory established from lime to time within out limits 1; main tains peculiar relations to Congress, to whom the Constitution lias granted the power ot exercising exclusive legislation over the seat of government. Our fellow citizens residing in the District, whose in terests are thus confided to the special guardianship of Congress, exceed in num ber the population ot several of our "lerri tories, and no just reason is perceivcu why a dek gate of their choice should not be ad luiUd-Fto a seat in the House of Repre sentatives. No mode seems so appropri ate and iffeotuai ot enabling them to make known their peculiar condition and wants, and securing the local legielatioit" adapted to them. I therefore recommend the pas-age of a law authorizing the elect ors of the District of Columbia to choose a delegate to be allowed the same rights and privilege, as a delegate representing a Territory. The increasing enterprise a d rapid progress of improv. ment in the Di,tiict are highly gratifying, and I trust that the efforts of the municipal authori ties to promote the prosperity of the. na tional metropolis will receive the efficient utid generous co-operation of Congress. The report of the Commissioners ol Agriculture reviews the operations of his Department during the past year, and ask the aid of Congress in its efforts to euconr uoe those States which, scourged by war, are now earnestly engaged in the teorgani tion of domestic industry. It is a subject ot congratulation that no forei-m combinations against our domestic peace and safety, or our legitimate influ ence among the nations, have been formed or attempted. While sentiments of recon ciliation, loyalty and patiiotisni have in creased at home, a more just consideration of our rational character aud rights has been manifested by foreign nations. . The entire success ot the Atlantic lelc .rpaph between tbe coast of Ireland and tiie Province of Newfoundland, is an achieve ment which lias been justly celebrated it) both hemispheres as the opening of an era in the of civilization. I here is reason to expect that equal success will at tend, and even greater results follow, the enterprise for connecting the two Conti nents through the Uaeific Ocean by the projected line of telegraph between Kam schalka &ud the Russinn possessions in Amcricp. Tim rvolition of Congress protesting against pardons by foreign Governments of persons convicted of inJamous offences, on condition of emigration to o'T country, has been communicated to the States with which we maintain intercourse, and t>e practice, so justly the subject of complaint on our nart, has not been renewed. The congr;it illations of I oagress to the Empercr of Russia, upon bis escape from, attempted assassination, have been pre sents! to that humane a d enlightened j rftler, and reccivee by him with expressions of grateful appreciation. The Executive, warned of an attempt by Spanish- American adventures to induae j th* emigration of freedom of the Foiled State* to a ffireign country, protested ; against the project as one which, if c>n j summated, would reduce them to a bond ace even more oppressive than that frotn ' which they have just been relieved As surance has been received from the Gov ernment of the State in which the plan was matured, that the proceeding will meet neither its. encouragement- nor ap proval. It is a question worthy of your consideration, whether our laws upon this subject are adequate to the prevention or punishment of the crime thus meditated. In the month of April last, as Congress is aware, a friendly arrangement was made between the Emperor ot France and the President of the United Stat< s for the j withdrawal from Mexico 'of the French expeditionary military forces. This with drawal was to be effected in thiee detach ments, the first of which, it was understood would leave Mexico in November, now | past, the second in March next, and the i third and last in November, 1867, Im mediately upon the completion of the j evacuation, the French Government was, to assume the same attitude ot non-inter- ! rention, in regard to Mexico, as is held by the Government of the United States. Re peated assurances have been given by the Emperor, since that agreement, that he would complete the promised evacuation within the period mentioned, or sooner. It was reasonably expected that the pro ceedings thas contemplated would produce a crisis of great political interest in the Republic of Mexico. The newlv-appoint-r eu Minister of the United States, Mr. Campbell, was therefore seot forward, on the 9th day of November last, to assume h.s proper functions as Miuistea Plenipo tentiary of the United States to that Re public, It was also thought expedient that lie should be attended in the vicinity of Mexico by the Lieutenant General of the Army of the Uuited States, with the view of obtaiuing such information as might b& important tow*fetermine the course to be pursued by tfijt United States in re-establishing and ujaigtaining neces sary ar.d piopet intercourse with the Re public of Mexico. Deeply interested in the cause of libei ty and humanity, it seem ed an obvious duty on our part to exercise whatever influence we possessed for the restoration and permament establishment in that country of a domestic and republi can form of government. Such was the condition of affairs in re gard to Mexico, when, on the 22 d ot No vember last, official information was re ceived fiotn Paris that the Empe>or of France had some time before decided not to withdraw a detachment of his forces in the month of November past, according to engagement, but that this decision was made with the purposes of withdrawing the whole force in the ensuing spring. Of this determination, however, the United States had not received any notice or in timation ; and, as soon as thg information was received by the Government,care was takeu to make known its dissent to the Em pero* of F i ance. I cannot forego the hope that France will reconsider the subject, and adopt some resolution in regard to the cvacua tion of Mexico which wid conform as near ly as practicable with the existing engage ment, and thus meet the just expectations of the United States. The papers relating to the subject will be la d before you. It is believed that, with the evacuation of Mexico by the expeditionary forces, no subject for serious differences between France and the United States would te main. The expressions of the Emperor and people of Franco warrant a hope that the traditionary friendship between the two countries might in that case be renew ed and permanently restored. A claim of a citizen of the United Sates for idemnity for spoliations committed on tbe high seas by the French authorities, iri the exercise of a belligerent power against Mexico, has been met by the Government of France with a proposition to defer set tlement until a mutual convention tor tfo adjustment of all claims of citizens and subjects ot both conntries, arising out of the recent wars on this Continent, shall be agreed upon by the two countries. The suggestion is not deemed unreasonable, but it belongs to Congress to direct the manner in which claims for idemnity by foreigners, as well as by the citizens of the United Mates, arising out of the late civil war, shall be adjudicated and determined. I have no doubt that the subject of all such claims will engage your attention at a con venient and proper time. It is a matter of regret that no consider able advance has been made towards an adjustment ot the differences between the United States and Great Britain, arising out of tbe depredations upon our na tional commerce and other trespasses committed during our civil war by Brittish subjects, in violation of luteri ational law and treaty of obligations. Tbe delav, how ever, may be believed to have resulted in no small degree from the domestic situa tion ot Great Britain. An entire change of ministry occurred in that country during the last session of 1 arliamfnt. The attm tfon of the new ministry was called to the subject at an eatly day, and tnere is some reason to expect that it Mil now be consid ered in a becoming and fri-ndly spirit.— Tbe importance of an Jlrly disposition of tin- question|cannot be exaggerate 1. What ever might be the wishes of the two Gov ernments, it is manifest that good-will and friendship between the two countries can not be established until a reciprocity, in the practice of good faith a'd neutrality, shall be restored between the respective nations, • On the 6th of June last, in violation of our neutrality laws, a military expedition and enterpr se against the British North American Colonies was proj. cted and at tempted to be carried on within the territo ry an 1 jurisdiction of the United States.— In obedience to tbe obligation imposed up on the Executive by the Constitution, to see that the laws are faithfully exei uted, aii citizens >?• re warned, by proclamatton against iitking pa."f " or aiding such un lawful proceedings, and the proper civil military and naval officers were directed to take all necessary measures to." the enforce ment of tbe laws. The expedition failed, but it has not been without its painful con sequences. Some of our ctixens who, it was alleged, wtic engaged in the expedi-, tion, were captured, and have been biought to trial, as for* capital offence in the Pro vince of Canada, Judgment and sentence of death have been pronounced against s<>me, while others have been acq littted.— Fully believing the maxim ot government, that sincerity of civil punishment for mis guided persons who have engaged in revo lutionary attempt which have disaftrusly failed is unsound and unwise, such repre sentations have been made to the British Government, u> behalf of the convicted per sons, as, being sustained by an enlighten ed and humane judgment, will, it is hoped, induce in their cases an exercise of clemen cy, and a judicious amnesty to all who were engaged in the movement Counsel has been employed by the Government to defend citizens of the United States on tri al for capital offences in Canada; and a discontinuance of the prosec tions which were instituted in the eourts of the United States against those who took part in the expedition, has been directed. I have regarded the expedition as not only po.itieal in its nature, but as also in a great measure foreign from the United States in its causes, characters and objects. The attempt was understood to be made in sympathy with an insurgent patty in Ire land, and, by striking at a British Province on this Continent, was designed to aid in obtaining red'ess f<>r political grievances which, it was assumed , the people of Ire land had suffered at the hands of the Brit ish Government during a period of severa centuries. The persons engaged iu it were chiefly natives of that country, some of whom had, while others had not, become citizens of the United States under our general law* of naturalization. Complaints of mi-government. Ireland continually engage the attention of the British nation, and so great an attention is now prevaliing in Ireland, that the British Government Lave d-emed it necessary to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in that country.— These circumstances must n< c ssarilv mod ifv the opinion which we might otherwise have entertained in regard to an expecta tion expressly prohibited by our neutrality laws. S<> long as those laws remain upon our statute-books, they should be faithfully executed, and if tncy operate harshly, un justly, n apply the remedy, by their modification or rrpe^ and commercial interests of the United States are not unlikely to be aff-c --ted in some degree by events which are transpiring in the eastern regions of Eu rope, and there seems to have come when our (rovernment ought to have a proper diplomatic representation in Greece. The Government has claimed for all per soo9 not convicted, or accused, or suspec ;ed of crime, an absolute political right of self-expatriation, and a choice of new na tionai allegiance, M *st of the European States have dissented from this principle, a d have claim d a right to hold such of their su' jects as have immigrated to and been uaturaliz' d in the United States, and afterwaids returned on transient visits to their na'ive countries, to the performance of military ervice in like manner as resi dent subjects. Complaints arising from the claim in this respect made by foreign States, have heretofore been matters of controversy between the United States and s>me of the European Powers, and the ir ritation consequent upon the failure to settle this question increased during the war in which Prussia, Italy and Austria were recently engagi d While Gteat Britain has never acknowledged the right of expatriation, she has not practically in sisted upon it. France ha* been equally forbeaiing, and Prussia has proposed a compromise, which, evincing increased lib eralitv, ha* ,iot been acc pted by the Uni ted States. Peace is now prevailing every where in Europe, and* the present teems to be a favorable time for an assertion by Congress of the principle, so long main tained by the Executive Department, that naturalization by our tState fully exempts the native-born subject of any other State from the performance of military service under any foreign Government, so 10/ig as he does not voluntarily renounce its rights and benefit*. In the performance o( a duty imposed upon me by the Constitution, I have thus submitted to the Representatives of the Statestand of the People, such information of our domestic and foreign affairs as the public interests seem to require. Our Gov ernment is now undergoing it* mod trvihg ordeal, and my earnest praver is that the peril may be successfully and finally passed, withou' impairing its original strength and symmetry. The interests of the nation are b< st to be promoted by the revival of fra ternal relations, the complete obliteration of our past differences, and the reinaugn ration of all the pursuits of peace. Direct ing our efforts to the e riy accomplishment of these great ends, let us endeavor to pre serve harmony between the cooperate De partments of the Governmeet, that each in its proper sphere may cordially co-operate with the other in securing the maintain nance of the Constitution, tbe preservation of the Union, aud the perpetuity of our free institutions.

TIIE RAILROAD BRIDGE AT HAVRE DE GRACE —The Bridge of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, over the Susquehanna River at Havre de Grace, was formally opened on the 26th ult. It was commenced in 1863. Ii is a structure of twelve piers and thirteen spans. The spans are 25 feet between piers; the piers are 8 feet wide and a draw of 182 feet for vessels—making the length of the whole 3,278 ffcet. Six of the piers on the eas tern shore are built of solid masonry on piles, and the rest are of solid masonry,— The distance from tbe surface of the water at medium tide to the track or floo- of the bridge is 26 feet, and from the track to the top of the open timber work of the struc ture is 25 feet, making the whole 51 feet ! in height. The wnlth of throughout its entire length is uniform, e ing 21 feet. There were used in the struc ture 5,U0p may be calculated upon in cotton, and three fourths of a full crop of corn. We have been recently - down the Trinity on the opposite side from here and returned up the river on this sidf, and have l.arned from aCt"l observation that matters are not so bad as we n*d anticipa ted ; that though the strictly lottom .'auds will yield but little, owing to tbe late sea son at which they were pl anted, that class lands known to farmers as s* eond bottom lands will, if the frosts should be late this sea-on, make good average crops. The season for cotton, on the uplands, lias been much better thau we had anticipated. • e noticed som- lands which we had looked upon as extremely poor and worn out, upon which wa* as good up and cot ton as we h.,ve seen for msiiv years. The weather has been very favorable for p'an tern, and cotton picking has been pushed ahead wi.h much vigor, which will aug ment both the quantity and quality of the staple grown in this section of country. A FAIR OFFSET —WhiIe the Radicals are jubilant in their rejoicings over tin- Chicago Times declatingfor negro suffrage one of their organs--and a leading one too —the Cleveland Herald, seems utterly in sensible to the pleasure it affords them. In its issue of Wednesday, the Herald copies, approvingly, an exhaustive article from the National lntell in opposition to the whole negro suffrage programme, and ac companies it with some comments, which we would like to see answered by tho*e who dissent from them*. So, iustead of the Chicago Times making converts to a policy which it has, until lately, vehemently op posed, the chances are that, because of tbe utter hopelessness of the South accepting the Radical programme, that party will themselves abandon it, thus leaving that paper out in tha cold, to reflect at leisure upon its absurd, inconsistent and most gro tesque perfot mances. Eight passenger conductors on the Pennsylvania Railroad between Pittsburg and Altoona, have been dit>charg( d for pec ilati n. TLey have been living for a long lime "faster" than their salaries war ranted, and a corps of detect iv< s were set to watch tin in, resulting as mentioned.— No prosecutions have been entered. Some six or seven years ago, a similar discharge took place, for simiiar reasons, and no prosecutions w'ere entered ; in fact the Company were compelled to keep the scamps in thf Jefferson Davis On the contrary s- me of the most influential of th< m demand his tineonditional release, because h" could not be convicted except with a ''pack- d jun," and "t<> pack a jury to insure his coiivic tion would be equally disastrous to the peace of the Government as would be a failure to convict liirn in a fair trial," How those fellows can back water! The Doyleston Intelligencer, a rad ical organ, in speaking of the two negroes being elected to the Massachusetts Legis lature says: ."It seems to us that the Massachusetts people will be most creditably represent ed." Of course the "people" referred to are tbe Republicans who nominated and elec ted the negroes over their white rivals.

P.

There is a certain portion of the war that will nev er go into the egultlr histories, nor be embodied in romance or poetry, which is a very real part of it, and will, if preserved, convoy to succee .ing genera tion" a better idea of the spirit of the conflict than many dry reports or careful narratives of events and this part may be called the gossip, the fun, the pathos of the war. This illustrates the character the leaders the huuor of the soldieis, the devotion of women the bravery of men. the plncjc of our he roes, the romance and hardships of the service.— From the beginning of the war the author has been engaged in collecting all the anecdotes connected! with or illustrative of it The volume is profusely illustrated with over 100 engravings by tht first artists,which are really beau tiful ; worthy of examination as specimens of the art. The bcok's contents include remiuisccnces of cauip, picket, spy, scout, bivoupc, siege and battle field adventures ; thrilling feats of bravery, wit, drollery, comical aud luuicrous adventures etc., etc. Amusement as well as instruction may le fonnd in every page, as graphic detail, brilliant wit, and authentic history, are skillfully interwoven in this work of literary art.
