The Postal Service, During the past fiscal year, the financial coudflion of the Post Otttve Department has been one of iiitras ing prosperity, and I am k ratified in being able to slatt'tliat the receipts of the pnnhit revenue have " neatly equaled the entire expenditures, the former amounting to $11,314,004) of, uud the latter to , 464,417 Off, leaving a deliciency of biitl&M16 K5. In 1800, the year immediaUjIy precnrliiig the rebellion, tbe deliciency amounted to f.r,65H,7"i 4tl, the posinl receipts of that year being $045,722 10 Ie than those of I8JW. Tji decrease since TO in the annual auoant of transportation has been only about twenty, five per eent., but the annual expenditures on account of the same have been reduced thirty-five nr ent. It is manifest, therefore, that the Pout OlHoe Department nay become self-siistuining iu a few years, even with tbe restoration of ths whole service. Tho International Conference of Postal Delegare from the principal coniitHes of Europe aud America, which was calM at the suggestion of the poeimt.aier General, met at Parts on the llth of May hist, and concluded its deltWrationt on the 8th ot June. The principles established by the Conrrmie are hwt adapted to facilitate postal iiitercoiu-He between nu tions, and as the basis of fat are Cmivuntlutis itiauga rate a general system of uniform iiiterimtiwifil charges at reduced raursof postage, and caiinut fail to produce ? benelicial result. ' The Department of the Interior. X refer yon to the report of the Secretary of tbe In. terior, which is herewith laid before you, for useful and varied information in relation to the public lauds, Indian affairs, patents, pensions, and other matters of : public concern pertaining to his lfewrtment. The ' quantity of land disposed of during tliu last und the ' first quarter of the present fiscal year was 3,841X9 acres, of wbifh lot .91 1 -acre were sold for eash t 1,406,514 aeree were taken up nnder tm Homestead Law, and the residue disposed of under the laws , granting lands for military accounts, for railroad und " tthor purposes. It also appears that the sales of the public lands are largely ou the iuereuhe. It bus long been an opinion uf some of our wisest sttilesnieu that ' the people of the United State h id a higher aud more enduring interest lu the early settlement and suhatHU tatVuitivaiion of the public Ir.tids than in the amount of direct revenue to be derived from the sale of them. This opinion has hail a controlling intitieuce iu shaping legislation on the subject ol our NmLhiiimI domain. As evidence of this, niay be inentioned the liberal mens ares adopted in reference to actual selflersi the grant totbeHutes of the overflowed lauds within their limits, Irforder to their being rendered fit for cultivation ; the grant to railroad companies of alternate sect ionaof laud until the contemplated hues of their roads, whii-h, when completed, will largely multiply the facilities lor reaching our distant possessions. This policy has rc eulted In most xigual and heneHcont service to actual settlers. Hince the first day of January last, the ho ; rore-aientionea quantity, moo..., uuresut land, has been taken up under lt provisions. This, with the amount of sules, turn lilies gratifying evidence of in creasing settlement upon the public hinds, notwith standing the great struggle In which the energies of ( the nation have been engaged bus required so larj,e a withdrawal nf oar citisens trotn their accustomed pur units. I cordially eiaKiir In the recominendutiou of the HecretMry of' llie Interior, suggesting a moiii It ca tion of tbe A el in favor of those engaged in the uiili tary and naval anrviee of the United Hiatea. I doubt not Congrees will cheerfully adopt such measures as will, without essentially changing the general fea tures of the system, reserve, (o the greatest practica ble extent, Its benefits to those who havo left their homes in defense of the country hi this arduous crisis. Mineral Land. I Invite yonr attention to the views of (he Secretary of War as to the prouerltv of raising by appropriation or legislation, a revenue from the mineral Ittuua of tbe United States. 1 1)1 1 an Affairs. Ths measures provided at your last session for the removal of enrtaiu Indian tribes have Iweu curried Into effect. Sundry treaties have been negotiated, which will, In due time, be submitted for the uonstiiu tional action of the Henate. They contain stipulation for extinguishing the pomessorv rights of the Indians to large and valuable traets of lauds. It it probable that the elfeate of tlisse treat tea will result in the ee tahlishment of a peemanent fi iendly relation with siu-b nf those tribe as have been brought into frequent and bloody collisions with our uut-lyiug settlements aud omigrante. Hound policy aud our imperative duty to these wards of the Government demand our anxious and constant attention to their materiul well being, to see that thev are proy iwi iig in nu ur i t in lion, and above all In that moral training, which, un der the blessing of Divine Providence, will confer upon Uwia tbe elevated and sanctifying influeiicn of the hopes aud oousolations of the Christian faith.

The attention nf Cong res during the last session was engaged, t- some extent, with a proposition for enlarging the water communications b)h ecn the Mis sissippi river aud the Northern liakes and tlte East em seaboard, which pruMMition, however, failed for the time. Hiuce then, upon a cull uf the greatest respec tability, a t 'on van i ion has been called at i hirago upou the wine subject, a summary of whose views ts con IuihhI iu an address lo the President and Congress, nd which 1 uow have the honor to lav before you.

The hlUatlon. When Congress sswembled a year ago, the war had already lasted nearly tweuty uioutlu. aud there had beeu aiaoy eonfiirtsoa laud and sea, with varying re salts. The rebellion had been prei-sed back into re duced limits, yet the tone of public feeling aud opinion at home and abroad was not sutlsluctory. With other signs, the popular elections then just pnd indicated nneasiuese among ourselves, while niuid much that was cold and menacing, the kindest words coming freta Kurope uttered ia arcenie of pitv that we were too blind to surrender. Our commerce w ,a surfering greattv from a few arnwd veesela built upon, and fur Bislsmf from, foreign shores, eud we wire tursMteirl with soon e ldiiion fniai the same qiwrter as would . sweep our trade from the sea and raise our blockade Wo bad fulled to elicit front tCuropt-Hii Uoveriimeuia anything hopeTuI npm this sulqert.

The pdirr of emancipation and employing' black to I. tiers gave to the Aitnra a new astwet, about winch hope and leer and douU eon tended In uncertain conflict. According to our political system, as a matter nf de ll administration the General Oovernmeiit had no law ful power lo effect emancipation iu any (Mate, and for t long time it bad been hoped 1 1 ml the rebellion could be snpprsesi i without resorting lo it as a military Htaeare.

Iu my judg msnt, they have aided, and will furiner aid, ths cause for which they were tnlltted. To give up this principle would Dol enly be to relinuuieh a lever uf power, but would alio he a cruel sod astounding breach of fUh, J may add, at this point, that while I remain In my present position I shall nut attempt to retract or modify ths emancipation proctams Hon nor shall I return to slavery any person who Is free by the terms of th prut I mint Ion or by any Act of Conrfii, IV thfis and other Ttuom. it Is thought best that the sup.

It should he observed, also, thst part of the oath Is sublsrt to the modifying and abrogating powsr of legfsUHn and supreme judicial Jurisdiction. Ths proposed acquies cence of the National Executive In any honorable temporary Stats srrangement for the freed people is made with tbe view of possibly modifying ths confusion and destitution which must at least atteod all classes by lotsl revolution of Ishur throughout whole Aisles, and It Is ho( fh already desply stHlcled penp ofthi'Sv Stales may he intnewbnt more resdy to give up the cause of their affliction, and to this extent Hill vitsl nutter Is left to tbemst-lvei, while no nowir of the N tional Kxeoutivc to prevent au abusi Is Hhrhljred by the prop osition. Tbe summon In the procbiinatloti us to maintain liiK the political frameworks of the elites, or what Is cnlled reconstruction, Is made In the hope that It may do gtmi, without the danger of harm. It will rl labor and avoid great cvnfusion. But why any proflHinMion now upon this subject t This question Is b-set wlih ths conflicting vlwi that the step might as delsyed too lung, or he taken too soon.

This mny bring them to act s onerthsn they otberwlss would. The object Ion to s premature presentation of a plan hy the National Kxse nllvs consists In Ihs dangwr of commitment on a point which could bv more safely left to further developments.

Those who lako such an oath are to be pardoned and permitted lo ex ercise the rights nf uflriige those who do not. remain snbjeot tn all the penalties In ahit'b Ike act of rebellion may have rendered them liable. The President say he shall not attempt In retract or modify the emancipation proclamation. A proclamation is alluded to which ns we suppose, embodies the plan of re construction nnd which he think i practica ble. We have no doulit Irom what we ran gather that the emancipation of Ihe slave I made a prerequisite to the re-assumptiun or political rights. Until wo have Ihe plan de tailed. It would simply be idle to discuss it. Tlte tone uf the entire metrage is hopeful and buoyant. The P resident evidently think the grentest danger are passed and that Ihe future prnsiHiution of the war need only to be managed with prndenue and firumes tu se cure an honorable peace, lie does not lost' sight of Ihe fact, however, thai out principal rclianoe is, as yet, upon the army and navy.
