The regiment of mounted riflemen, which, whea the lpet report was made by this department, wag vn ifs march to Oregon, reached its destination ia sefet ving, in accordance with the act of 19h May, 5, established a line of military stations alopg the route to Oregon — Ia consequence of the scarcity of forage and provisi at one of taese pests (Fort Hal}), it wes subsequently abandoned, and the treops etationed there were transferred to snother post ner the Dalles, aud to Fort Van- couver, on the Columbia river.

The second sess on of the thirty-first Congress opened yesterday, punctually at twelve o’clock. A qnorum having been present, both houses or- ganized, and a Joiat Committee was appointed to wait upon President Fillmore, and inform hum that they were ready to receive any commuai- cation whieh he had to mike to them. The committee returned ia a short time, and reported that the President would communicate with both houses, without delay, and in a few minates public, tcgether with the pening proceeding: of Congrees, in an extra, last evening. It will be | found in another column, and is the inmost in- | teresting feature of this day's Hera’d. | We have carefully perused the message, from | beginning to end, and are satistied that it ia one | of the most compact, perspicuous, and basiness- like documents of the kind that ever came wader our review. Jt is written in a manly and straight- forward manner, and a tone of firmaess and patriotism pervades it throvchout. It is an in- strument worthy of the chief magistrate of this great republic, and no matter what opposition | vepers may say, it reflects the greatest credit on | Mr. great bulk of the American people. la his message, Mr. Villmore sets out with the principle that the constitation will be his guide, and in questions of doubt he will look for their | solution in the judicial decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. If any act should pass both houses of Congress which should ap | pear to him vacopetitutional, or an encroach neat Fillmore, aad will be highly acceptable to the onthe just rights of other departments, or with provisions hastily adopted, aud likely to prodace consequences ipjurions and woforeseen, he will consider it his daty to apply the veto power coa- fided to him by the constitution, and arrest it. | This is all very good, and speaks well tor Mr. Ja going a little further, we find that the | Prevident administers a well-timed and merited rebuke to the abolitioa fanatics of the Northera Fillmore, afterwards the regular aunual message was re- | list, or pension system, as is here proposed, we | ceived and read. The document was received | are confident that at least one of these ser- by us in the afternoon, and placed before the | vices, the navy, has suffered, and is at this | atour leisure. Although it occupies five columns | | of our journal, it could not be shorter very well, | conridering the variety of important topies which constructing a ship canal to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific at that point, and that but two eb- jects in connection with it remain to be accom- plished, viz.—the designation and establishment of a free port at each end of the canal, and fixing a distance from each shore, within which belligerent operations shall not be carried on. Those proceed- ings have not probably reached him in an official form. Now that Congress is in session, we hope that they will unite with the President in having the treaty carried out to the letter. The President is in favor of raising a large por- tion of the revenue for the support of the govern- ment, from daties{on importations, but seems op- posed to a high tarff. He is 2 moderate teriff mao, and udvocates discriminating duties ; for instance, thet the duty on articles which cannot be produced in this country, ought to be less, in his opinion, than on those wkich cen.

He also advocates spe- cific instead of ad valorem daties. In this, the message, we are sure, will likewise give satisfac- tion, for although one half ef the frauds which are said to have been committed under the ad valorem system, may not have taken place, itis clear that it oflers inducements to fraud, which are likely to be taken advantage of by unscrupulous persons. Mr. Fillmore recommends the establishmen! of a mintin California—also the establishment of an agricultnral bureau of the government; says nothing, however, of a printing bureau, which is so loudly called for, end so evidently necessary; recom- mends the e tablichment of a board of commis- sioners (pr examining and adjusting California lend claims; recommends also the sale of the mineral lands of Califoreia in small parcels; recommends the organization of one or more regiments of mounted men for the protection of our frontiers, and squints at the necessity which exists fur the protection and extension of our commerce with Asia, and is happy to find that the fiscal condition of the Post Office Department justifies the Postmaster General in recommending a reduction of our inland postage Coats, Pautaloons ands Gea etyle, hse Vaiiscehinn Knox's —The nawe of this establishments is as lawilar to ever Knox, betraya ane Any ono who wishes @ good ao Vetter thaa a im ‘the Sum Bs The Subseriber begs leave to Inform hie BuMerous Hy) noe uid he pu he, taut he hse now on hand- the largest #rd mortexte: sive assorcm vt Ladies’ gad Geat's* B ote and Shoes ever over.d for of F Gairvers, Quid x pers, fies, eo, ofall wry y eomperitio “A Great Sacininction to know where paste. cap be boneriy wea *iw —We cau inform our iJ wbore or drretavcings” are out of on ths a pot the: iL fed i) tauvial’ Boots, Bives,” sorta quality of th letrer being in the fin Combs made to order.

In doing so, he shall shrink from no responsibility, and shall endeavor to meet events ae they may arise, with firmness, as well as with prodence and discretion. This ix a cold piece of comfort to those extremely humane and philanthropic gentlemen in New Englan! and eleewhere, who have, in solemn conclave, voted to disobey “ that anti-christian ag! odi aw,” the Fugitive Slave bill.
