The great advantage of citizens being creditors as well as debturs, with relation to the public debt, is obvious.

The quantity of public land di-pored of dar- | ing the five quarters ending on the 30th of Sap- tember Ist was 4,221,342 acres of which 1,535,- 6M acres were entered under the hemestead law.

It was recommended in my last annual mes- ‘age that our Indian system be remodeled. Congress, At its last session, acting upon the Teccmmendation, did provide ior reorganizing tbe +ystem in California, and itis believed that under the present organization the manage- ment of tbe Indians there will be attended with reasonable suecess. Much yet remains to be done to provide for the proper govern- ment ct the Indians in other parts of the coun- try to render iteecure for the advancing set- tler, and to provide for the welfare of the in- agian. The Secretary reiterates his recommen- dations, and to them the attention of Congress is invited, The liberal provisions made by Congress for paying pensions to invalid soldiers and sailors of the Republic, and to the widows, orphans, aud dependent mothers of those who have fall- ¢n in battle, or died of disease contracted, or of wounds received in the service of their coun- ‘ry, bave been diligently administered.

The Agricultural Department, under the supervision of its present energetic and faith- tul head, is rapidly commending itself to the | great and vi'al mterest it was created toad- vance. It is pecniiarly the people’s depart- ment, in which they feel more deeply concern- ed than in any other. I commend it to tne continued attention and fostering care of Con- Tess. . The war continues. Since the last annua message all the important lines and positions ineb occupied byonr forces have been main- tained, and our arms have steadily advanced: thus liberating the regions leftin rear, so that Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and parts of otber States have again produced reasonably ' fair crops. The mest remarkable feature in the military cperations of the year is General Sherman's attempted march of three hundred miles di rectiy through the ineurgent region. It tend= to show a «great increase in onr relative | strength that our (seneral-in-Chief should feel ableto contront and hold in check every active force of the enemy, and yetdetacha well ap- pointed Jarge army to move on such an expe. dition. The result not yet being known, con- | jecture in regard to it is not here indulged. Important movements have also occurred | during the year to tae efiect of moulding society | for durability in the Union. Although short | of complete euccese, it ig mnchin the right direction ,that twelve thousand citizens in each of the States of Arkansas and Lonisiana haye orgavized loya) State goverameyts, with free | constitutions, and are eornestly struggling to | Imuintain abd administer them, ‘The movements in the same direciion, more extensive, though less definite. in Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, should not de over- looked. But Maryland presents the example of complete success. Maryland is secure to | Liberty and Union for all the fatare. The ge- | nivs of rebellion will no mcre claim Maryland. Like snother foul spirit, being driven out, it | may seek to tear her, but will wooherno more. | Atthe last session of Congress a proposed amendment of the Constitution, abolishing slavery throughout the United Siates, passed the ~enate, bat failed for lack of the requisite two-tnirds yote in the House of Represenia- tives. Although the present is the same Con- gress, ind nearly the £ame members, and with- out questioning the wisdom or patriotism of those who stood in opposition, I venture to recommend the reconsideration and passag? of the meacure al the present session. Of course the abstract question changed; but an intervening election shows, almo-t certainly, that the nat Ponies: will pass the measure if does not. Hence there ia only @ question of time as to when the proposed umendment till go to the States for their action. And 4s itis 'oso go, atall events, may we not a@pree that the soouer the better! It is not claimed that the election has im- posed a duty on members to change their Views or their yotes, any farther than, as an additional element to be considered, their jndg- ment may be affected by it. It is the voice ot | tbe people now, for the first time, heard upon | the question. In a great national crisis, lice ours, unanimity of action among tho-e seeking a common end Is yery desirable—almost indis- pensable. And yet no approach to such unanimity ts | Allainable, unless some deference shall be paid to the will of the majoriiy, simply because it is the will of the majority. In thie case the common end is the maintenance of the Union; and, among the means to secure that end, such ; Will, through the election, is most clearly de- | Clared In favor of such constitutional amend- ment. The most reliable indication of public pur- pose in this country is derived through our popular elections. Judging by the recent can, Vass and its result, the purpose of the people Within the loyal States, to maintain the integ- rity of the Union, was never more firm, por more nearly unanimous than now. The extraordinary calmness and good order with which the millions of voters met and mingled at the is, give strong assurance of this. Not only ali thosewhe supported the Union Ucket, eo called, but a great majority of the op- posing party also, may be fairly claimed to en- Lorain and to be actuated by, the same pur- pose. Itis an unanswerable argument to this ef- fect, that no candidate for aay office whatever, high or low, has ventured to seek yot-s ou the avowal that he was for giving up the Union. There have been much impugning of motives, and much heated controversy as to the proper means and best mode of advancing the Union cause; but on the distinct issue of Union or no Union the poliricians have shown their instinc- tive knowledge that there is no diversity among the people. In affording the people the fair opportunity of showing one to another and to the woald, thio firmness and unanimity of pur- pose, the election has been of vast value to the national canse. The election has exhibited another fact not less valuable to be known—the fact that we do not approach exhaustion in the most important | branch of national resonrces—that of living men. While it is melancholy to reflect that tha | war has filled so many graves, and carried | mourning to 80 many hearts, it is some relief to | know that, compared with the surviving, the | failen have been so few. While corps, and | divisions, and brigades, and regiments, have | formed, and fought, and dwindled, and gone | ont of oni) great majority of the men who com pose em are still living. si is true of the naval service, HOE Theroms The election returns prove this.
