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.

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

homes in defense of the country hi this arduous crisis.

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

der the blessing of Divine Providence, will confer
upon Uwia tbe elevated and sanctifying influeiicn of
the hopes aud oousolations of the Christian faith. I
suggested in aiy last annual message the propriety of

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

According to our political system, as a matter nf de

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

gather that the emancipation of Ihe slave I
made a prerequisite to the re-assumptiun or

Tlte tone uf the entire metrage is hopeful
and buoyant. The P resident evidently think
the grentest danger are passed and that Ihe

managed with prndenue and firumes tu se

The copperhcada aeem to forget that roan

part of the rein still in the band, and wa

an old woman declare that, hearing criea, she
looked out from her house and taw two men
