officially requested yon lo exchange with Vir

for flint muskets. I don't know the osaee or
power of the Department iti such cases, liut if
it can he done even hy liberal conatrnctiorj. 1
hope yon will accede. Was there not aa ap
propriation at the last session for converting
flint into percusaino arrs t If to, Would it not
furnish good reason fur extending such facili
tien to the Sfat-s f Virginia probably bat
more arms thau tbe other Southern States, and
would divide in ease of need.
In a letter yesterday ,to a committee in South
Carolina, I gave it as my judgnieut that in case
of Fremont's election, the Snuth should not
pause, hot proceed at once to "immediate, ab

A letter It printed in the Southern papen
from a rebel prisoner at Camp Docglas, fhi
ongn, in which tlie writer toys that behire ho
ouine North, he thought the peace party iu the
free States would get up a reaotion nnd be the
principal meant of ending the war ; he also
thought that the majority of the Union toldiert
were in favor of ending the war. But he hat
learned that he wot mistaken, und it wurprised
to find that nearly all the northern people are
determined to fight tn the last rather than reo
ognire the independence of the Confederacy,
and he says he has now no bone fur the termi
nation of the war until cue side or the other is
conquered. It would be well if all tho people
in tho South could ondentaad this. They are
told by the rehol leaders that only the aholi
tiouitts of the North are heartily for the war;
that the great mats of the people here are thor
oughly tired of it, and thnt the South needs but
tn hui"uut a short time longer, to tee such a
demand for peace In the North as shall compel
the government at Washington to aoknowh dge
the independence of the Confederacy. That
the rebellion it greatly strengthened, aud the
war thus prolonged by thit raise notion, thero
can be no doubt. Xor it there any evading
the fact that the peace democrats are responsi
ble for this delusion by which the resistance of
the rebolt it encouraged nnd prolonged. And
inch of the democracy at qualify their talk
about conciliation and peace ny declaring that
it is peace in the union only to which they will
consent, give hardly less direot encouragement
tn the ruliellion. for tho rubnl leaders lmv a
right to infer that Northern men who can inop.
portunely talk about peace while they them
selves are iuiiitiug that tbey will not accept
peitce on any terms short of confederate inde
pendence, are at heart against the war and
ready to consent to the disruption of the Union.
Thus the jvar it prolonged and rendered more
diflionlt by the peace talk in the North. This
fact needs bot to be seon to cause all loyal dem
ocrats to break away from the lead of men who
treacherously olamor for peace when they koow
there can be no peace, except through success
ful war. 9
s a
It would tend greatly to unite the North in
the vigorous prosecution of the war, and pro
mole among tho suffering masses of the South
an inclination for nence. if these two thim a
could be thoroog'ily understood s tho rebel lead
ers will oonsent ui no peaoe in the Union, 'and
will continue the war as long as they con keep
an army together, even after their caoso be
ooim t manilei'.ly hopeless-: thr. people of the
North will consent to no peace till the rebellion
ii lubdtied, and the authority of the govern
ment is restored and acknowledged ill fl'erv
State It is worse than folly, therefore, to
waste time in talking about conciliation, peace",
or terms of future reunion, or iu doing any
thing hut fighting. Not till tho Inst armed foe
of tho Union expires ur surrenders can any of.
these things be iu order, or be urged without
giving positive aid to tho enemy. To fight ou
and fight ever to complete sucoess, is uur man
ifest destiny and duty. Let as understand it
and stick to it, and we shall win the tooner.
Sjiringfield Republican.
Mahribu tub Wronh Woman A short
time ago a candidate for matrimony arrived in
town, aud etrniglitway repaired to tho office of
our obliging County Clerk, fur the purpose of
obtaining it nmrriuge certificate. Tho clerk
misunderstood the name of the fair one who
had been making iuroads ou the affections of
the applicant, and consequently inserted the
wrong.name of the fetnule party who was to be
tied by the silken cords. The inteoded groom
was so delighted with the prospect before him
that he did not stop tn read tlie document after
it was placed iu bis hands, but forking over the
two dollara he thrust the letrol nrivileeo inti) hit
pocket. Guiuing an audience with The olijeul
uf hit heart the two repaired to the bouse of a
clergyman, where tbe document was prusent?d,
wuicu in tne eyes ol the minister appearing
perfectly satisfactory, the two were united in
the holy bauds uf wedlock. Tho next morn
ing upon scaling himself at tho breakfast table
of one of our liatcls, the groom ooiumeneed
reading a recoid of bis marriage in tho morn
ing papers and found the printers had him mar
ried lo another woman. Thrusting bis band
into his pocket he pulled out the marriage li
cense, when lo aud behold, to his utter astou
ijlmieiit, he disoovertid the clerk hod commit

The Right, of Foreign Born Residents.
Incidents ocrnrrtngr In the protrreea of eor civil
war have forced upon my attention the uncertain
atale of the International question touching the
rights of foreigners in this country, and of United
States eitisens abroad. In regard to some gov
ernments these rights are at least partially defined
by treaties. In no instance, however, Is It ex
pressly stipulated that on the occurence of a civil
war, a foreigner reaiding in this country, within
ilia lines of the insurgents, is to be exempt
ed from the rule which claaaea him a bel-
liferent, in whose behalf tha government of his
country ran expect any priviU ges or immunities
distinct from that character. I regret to say .how.

and thereby throwing upon Ibe government Ihe
burden of proof. It baa keen found difficult or
impracticable to oblaiu this proof from tha want of
guides to the proper sources ol iniormatlnn. 1 hose
might be supplied by requiring Ihe clerks ef courts
where decollations of intentions may be made or
naturalisation effected, to send, periodically, lists
of the names of persons naturalised or declaring
their intention to betome citiaeui, to the Secreta
ry of the Interior, in whose department these
namea must be arranced and printed for leneral
Information. There (a also reason to believe that

Telegraphic Project.. ' .
' Satisfactory arrangements have bean made with
the Emperor of Bussia, wbieh.lt Is believed, will
result ia effecting the construction of a contin
uous line of telegraph through that empire from
our Pacific coast. I recommend to your favorable
consideration tha subject of an international tela,
graph across the Atlantic Ocean, aad also of a tel
egraph botween ths Capital and the natiaoal forte
along the Atlantic seaboard and theOulf ef Mex
ico. Such connections, established with any rea
sonably outlay, would be economical, aa well aa
effective aids to the diplomatic, military and na
val serviee.
The GenHlar fljstea.
The consular system of tha United States nn
der ths enactments of the Ust Congress, begins
to be self-sustaining,and there ia reason to believe
that it may become entirely so with ths iaerestM
of trade which will ensue whenever peace Is re
stored. Our Ministers abroad have been faith
ful in dofending American rights and in protect
ing our commercial interests. Our Consuls have ,
necessarily had to enoounter increased labors and
responsibilities growing out of the war. These
they have, for Ihe most part met and discharged
with seal and efficiency. This acknowledgement
should justly include those Consuls who, residing
In Europe, Egypt, China, and ether commercial
countries, are charged with compUcatedand extra
ordinary powers. , ,
The Territories.
Tho condition of the several organised terrlto

I again submit to your eonsiderstion the expo
diencyof establishing a system fnr the encourage
ment of immigration. Although this source of Na
tional wealth is sgaia flowing with greater rae
dom than for several years before the laanrrec tion
occurred, there is still a great deficiency of labor
ers in the fieldt of Industry .especially agriculture
and our mines, as well of iron and eoaf as of tha
precious metals. While the demand for labor la
thus increased here, tens of thousands of persona
destituteof remunerative occupation, are thronging
our foreign Consulate and ottering to em if ate tar
the United States if essential bot cheap assistance
can be afforded them. It is easy to see that
under the sharp discipline of civil war the nation
ss beginning a new life. This novtl offer demands
ihe aid and ought to receive the attention and
tupport of the Oovernment. .
The HittoMl nniieet. '
The operations of the Treasury during tlie last
year have been successfully conducted. The en
actment by Congress of a National banking law
has proved a valuable support of tha Government
credit.and she general legislation in regard to karas
has fully answered the expectations of its founders.
Some amendments may be required to perfect
exlstins laws, but no cbanire In their Drinclolea
or geueral scope Is believed to be needed. Binea
those measures havs been in operation, all de
mands on the treasury, including ths payosents
of the army and the navy, have been promptly
met and fully satlsfiod. No considerable body of
troops, it is believed, were ever more promptly
provided and more liberally and punctually paid t
and it may be added that by no people were tha
burdens incident to a great war ever more cheer
fully borne. The receipts during the year from
all sources, Including loans and the balance in the
treasury at Its commencement, were 1901,125,074
66. Ths aggregate disbursements, f.796,630
60. Leaving a balance on the 7th of July, 1803,
of 15,329,044 81. Of the receipts there were de

loans, $776,692,301 57 1 making the aggregate of

The receipt and disbursements for the first onarter
and the estimated receipts aud diabaraemauta for the
remaining three-quarters of the current (seal year ef
1H64, will be shows In detail by ths report of Ibe Sec
retary of tlie Treasury, to which I invite your atten

that Ihe actual results will exhibit a state of tha finan

that vtHoer heretofore submitted, while it is confident
ly expected that at the close of the rear both disbarae

referring your attention to Ihe report itself.
The Navy Department.
The duties devolving on the naval branch of
the service during ths year, and throughout tha
whole of this unhappy contest, have been dis
charged with fidelity, energy and success. The
blockade baa been constantly increasing ia enV
eieuey, aa the navy has expanded I yet, oa so
long a line, it has so far been impossible to entire
ly suppress illicit trade, from the returns re
ceived st the Nsvy Department, it appears that
more than one thousand vesaels have bsen cap
tured since the blockade was instituted, aud that
the value of the prises sent in for adjudication
amounts to over thirteen millions ef dollars.
The naval force of the United States consists, at
this lime, of 606 vessels eompletad and la eotjrs
of completion, aud of these seventy-Bra are iron,
clada armored stesmars. The events of the
war givs an Increased interest and importance to
tbe nary, which will probably extend beyond tlie
war iteulf- The armored vessels ia our navy
completed and in service, or which are under
connect and approaching completion, are believed
to exceed In number those of any ether Power I
but while these may he relied npon for harbor de
fense aud aea coast survey, others of greater
strength and capacity will be necessary for e rais
ing purposes and to maintain our rightful position
on ihs ocean. The ebange that has taken plana
in navy veaacla and naval wau-fuaioae Ihe intro
duction of steam as a motive power for ships nf
war, demands either a corresponding enanM in
some of our existing navy yart'a or the establish
