it id alleged conflicts with the vested rights oi citizens of the United Slates. The Department of State has now this subject under consideration. The Minister of Pern having made representations that there was a state of war between Pern nnel w pain, and that Spain was eOiistrriering in and near New York thirty gunboats which might be used hy Spain to relieve the naval forces at Cuba to operate agaiu-t Peru, orders were given to pr .- : : their departure. No farther stops have j been, taken l.\ the repw seutathe of the : Peruvian Government to prevent the ! departure o; these vearfelK, and I not | feeling authorized to detain property oi; a nation with wh’ch are at peace, J on a mere executive order, the matter was referred to the courts. The conduct of the war between the allies and the Republic of Paraguay has made intercourse with that, couu- j try difficult, and it bus been deemed advisable to withdraw our repre eutu-, tive from there. Towards the clone of the last admin-, ktration, a convention was signed at! London for the settlement of outstand-; ing claims between Great Britain and the United States, which failed to re- : ceive the advice and consent of the I Senate. The time and circumstances j attending the negotiations of that trea- j ty were unfavorable to its acceptance | by the people of the United States, j and its provisions were wholly inade- j quate for the settlement o‘ the grave ; wrongs sustained by this Government Injuries resulting to the United States by reason of the course adopted by Great Britaiu during the war, incrcas- 1 ed the rates of insurance in the ditnin ution of exports and imports, and oth er obstructions to domestic industry , and production, in its effect upon the foreign commerce of Hie country, in a decrease mid transfer to Great Britain of our commercial marine, the prolon gation of the war and increased cost both in treasure and in lives, and of its suppression, could not be adjusted and satisfied as ordinary commercial claims ' which continually arise between com- j merciul nations. And yet the Conwn- j tion treated them simply as such ordi- j nary claims, from which they di or more widely in the gratuity of their j character than the magnitude of their i a noun*. Great even us is that differ • ence, not a word was found in the troa- j ty, and no* an inference could be drawn i from it to remove the sense of unfriend- j liness of the course of Great Britain in ; cur struggle for redress, which has so deeply and universally impressed itself j upon the people of this country, Be lieving that a convention thus miscon- . reived in its scope and inadequate in its provisions, would not have produc ed the healthy, cordial settlement of pending questions, which alone is con sistent with the relations which I de sire to have firmly established between the United States and Great Britain, I regard the action of the Senate in re jecting the treaties to have been wisely taken in the interest of peace and as a ' necessary step in the direction of a pu- | feet and cardinal friendship between , the two countries. A sensitive people, j conscious of their p >wer, are more at I ease under a great wrong, wholly un- ( desirable, than under the restraint of a nettlemons which a.ititih s neither their ideas of justice nor their grave sense oi the grionnec they have sustained, — The rejection of the treaty was follow ed by a s'. of public feeling an both sides which 1 thought not favorable to nn immediate attempt at renewed ne gotiation*. I accordingly so instruct ed the minister of the United States to Great Britain, and fouud that mv views in this regard were shared by her maj esty’s ministers. I hope that the time may soon arrive when the two Govern ments can approach the solution of this momenious question with an ap preciation of what is due to the rights, dignity and honor of each, and with a determination not only to remove the causes of complaint in the past, but to lay the foundation of a broad principle of public law which wid prevent future differences, and tend to a firm and con tinued peace and friendship. This is now the only grave question which the United States has with any foreign na tion. The question of renewing the treaty for reciprocal trade between the Uni ted States and the British provinces on this continent, is favorably consid ered in conformity with the recommen dation of Congress. A proposition to abolish mixed courts for the suppression of the slave trade is under nego nation. It having come to my knowledge that a corporate company, organized tinder British laws, proposed to land upon the shores of the United TStates, and to operate there a submarine ca ble under a concession of the Emperor of the French, of nn exclusive right for twenty years of telegraphic com munication between the shores of France and the Uuited States, with the very objectionable feature of subject ing all messages conveyed thereby to the scrutiny and control of the French Government, I caused the French and British Legislations at Washington to be made acquainted with the probable policy of Congress on this subject as foreshadowed by a bill which passed the Senate in March last. This drew from the representatives of the company an agreement to accept as the basis of their operations, the provisions of the bill, or such other enactment on the Bubjcctas might be passed during the approaching session of Cong; ess; also to use their influence to secure from the French Government a modifica tion of their ccnce sion to permit the landing of any cable belonging to any company incorporated by authority of tho United States, or any State in the Union, and on their part not to oppose the establishment of any such cable.— In consideration of this agreement, I directed the withdrawal of all opposi tion by the United States to the l.ind- in" of the cable until tl:e meeting of Congress. 1 regret to siy that there bas been no modification made in the company's concosssion, nor so far as I can learn have they attempted to se- 1 care one. Their concession excludes the capital and citizens of the United I States from competition upon the shores. j of Franco. I recommend legislation | to protect due rights of citizens of the ' United Stales and the sovereignty of j the nation against such an assumption. I shall also endeavor to secure by ne gotiation an abandonment of" the 1 princip ooi monopolies in Ocean Tel egraph cables. The unsettled politi cal condition of other countries less for.uuatc than our own, sometimes in du *es their citizens to come to the United States for the sol* purpose of ; bee.n--.ing naturali/od. i laving secur jed this, they return to their native , country and reside there. Without j citizens oi .ica native lauds, under, ! passports describing them as such citi ! zens, arid it if? only when civil discord, : I after perhaps years of quiet, threatens ; their persons or their property, or when their native State drafts them I into its military service, that their 1 change of allegiance is known. They ; reside permanently away from the United States, contributes nothing to j its revenues, avoid the duties of citi zenship, and only mako themselves known by a claim of protection. I have directed the diplomatic and con sular officers to scrutinize carefully all such claims of protection. The citizen of the United States whether native or adopted, who discharges bis duty to his country, is entitled to its complete | protection. While I have a voice in tho direction of affairs, 1 shall not con- 1 sent to imperil this sacred right by conferring it upon fictitious or fraudu- I lent claimants. Invitations have been extended to the Cabinet from London, Paris, Flor ence, Berlin Brusselis, the Hague, Co penhagen and Stockholm, to empower their representatives at Washington to simultaneously enter into negotiations and to conclude with the United States Conventions identical in form, making j uniform regulations as tot he construe- ! tion of parts of vessels to be devoted to the use of emigrant passengers, as to quality and quantify of food, as to the medical treatment of the sick and to the rules to be observed during the voyage, in order to secure ventilation, to promote health, to prevent intrusion, to protect the females, and providing for the establishment of tribunals in the countries for enforcing such regu lations by summary process. Your attention is respectfully called to the law requiring the tariff on Rus sian hemp and to the question whether ! to fix the charges on Russian hemp | higher than they are fixed upon Ma- ! niila is not a violation of o'u- treaty . 1 with Russia, placing her products np ; on the s ime foo'iug with those of the most favored nations. Oar manufactures are increasing with wonde ful rapidity under the encour , ageme it which they now receive. With the improvements in machinery alrea dy affhetej and still increasing, caus , ing machinery to t ike the place of skilled labor to a large extent, our im | ports of many articles must fall off ; largely within a few years. Fprtunate j ly, too, manufacturers are not confined ; to a few localities as formerly, and it is to be hoped will becorno more and more diffused, making the interest in them equal in all sections. They give em ployment and support to hundreds of thou-anls of people at home, and re tain wuh,ns the menus .which other wise would lo snipped abroad. The extension of the Railroads in Europe and the Last r- re 1 ringing into com pe nt ion Willi our agricultui ai products ion.- product* of other countries. Self intere 4, if not self preservation, there fore, directs caution against disturbing any industrial interest of the country. It teaches us also the necessity of look ; mg to other markets for the sale of our : surplus. Our neighbors South of us ; aud China and Japan should receive j our special attention. It will be the i endeavor of the administration to cul ; tivate such relations with all these na- I tions as t > entitle us to their confidence, and make it their interest as well as ' ours to establish better conn .ercial re- I lations. Through tho agency of a more en lightened policy than that heretofore pursued towards China, largely due to j tne sagacity and efforts of one of our j own distinguished citizens, the world is i about to commence largely increased rela.ious with that populous and hith erto exclusive nation. As the United States have been initiators in this new pol.cy, so they should be the most earn est in showing their good faith in making it a success In this connec tion I .advise such legislation as will forever preclude the enslavement of the Chinese upon our soil, under the name of Coolies, and also prevent American vessels from engaging in the transpor tation of Coolies to any country toler ating the system. I also recommend that the mission to China be raised to one of the first class. On my assuming the responsible du ties of Chief Magistrate of the United States, was with the conviction that ! ihree things were essential to its peace, : prosperity and fullest developments.— i Fir fc among these is strict integrity in ! fulfilling all our obligations. Second: i It secures protection to the person and ; property of the citizen of tho United j States iu ea :h and every portion of our j common country wherever he may choose'to move, without reference to | original nationality, religion, color or polities, demanding of liim only obedi ence to the law* and proper respect for the rights of others. Third: Union of all the States with equal rights, inde | structible by any constitutional means. To secure the first of these, Congress i has taken two essential steps; First: In declaring, by joint resolution, that the public debt shall be paid, principal and interest, in coin; and second, by providing the means for paying. Pro viding the means, hovveve , could not secure the object desired without a pro per administration of the laws for the collection of the revenues, and an eco nimical disbursement of them. To this subject the administration has most earnestly addressed itself, with rosults, j l hope, satisfactory to the country.— I here has been no hesitation in chang ing officials in order to secure an effi cient execution of the laws, sometimes, too, where, in a mere party view, un desirable political results were likely to follow, nor any hesitation in sustaining efficient officials against reiuoustruncto wholly political. It may be well to mention here the embarrassment possible to arise from leaving on the statute books the so called tenure of office acts, and I earn estly recommend their total repeal. It could not have been the intention of the framers of the Constitution, whsn ; providing that. Appointments made bv the President should receive the con sent of the Senate, that the kilter | should have the power to retain in of i fice persons placed there- by federal ap i pointmfents against the will of the Pres ! ident. The law is inconsistent with a : faithful and efficient administration -of the Government. What faith can an j executive put in officials forced upon ' him, and those, too, whom he snspend !ed for reason? How will such officials ; be likely to serve an administration i which they know does not trust them? For the second requisite to our I growth and prosperity, time and a firm ! I but humane administration of existing I ! laws. They may be ineffective or prove ' harsh and unnecessary or probably all that are required. The 3rd cannot be attained by special legislation, but must ! ba regarded as fixed by the Constitu tion itself, and gradually acquiesced in by force of public opinion. From the foundation of the Govern-1 ment to the present, tho management j of the original inhabitants of this con- j tinent, the Indians, has been a subject j of embarrassment and expense, and i has been attended with continuous rob-, beries, murders and wars. From my own experience upon the frontiers, and • in Indian countries. I do not hold ei- i ther legislation or the conduct of the whites who c ;me most in contact with the Indians, blameless with these hos tilities. The past, however, cannot be undone, and the question must be met as we now find it. I have attempted anew policy toward th se wards of the j nation—they cannot be regarded in ! any other light than as wards—with j fair results so far as tried and which Ii hope will be attended ultimately with i great success. The Society of Friends j is well known as having succeeded in j living in peace with the Indians in the ] early settlement of Pennsylvania, while j their white neighborsof other sects, in j other sections were constantly embroil-1 ed. They are also known for their op- j position to all strife, violence and war, i and are generally noted for their strict j integrity and fair de dings. These con- | federations induced me to give the j management of a few reservations of! Indians to them, and to throw the bur- I den of selection of agents upon the So- j | cksty itself. The result has proved ! | most satisfactory. It will be* found! | more fully set forth in the report of the j Commissioner of Indian Affairs. For ! Superintendents and Indian agents not on the re ervation, officers of the army were selected. The reasons for this are numerous. Where Indian agents are sent, there, or near there, troops must be sent also. The agent and the | Commander of troop; are independent | 1 of each other, and are subject t >orders j 1 from different departments of the Gov j j eminent. The army officer holds aj position for life, the agent one at the j will of the President. The form ris | personally interested in living in lur j tnony With the Indian, and in estab- lishing a permanent pence to the end that some portion of his fife may be spent within the limits of civilized so ciety. The latter has no such personal interest. Another reason is an eco nomic one, and still another, the hold which the Government has upon a life officer to secure a faithful discharge of duties in carrying out a given policy. The building of railroads and the ac cess thereby given to all the agricultu ral and mineral regions of the country is rapidly bringing civilization into con tact with all the tribes of Indians. No matter what ought to be the relations between such settlements and the In dians, the fact ii they do not harmo nize well, and one or tho other has to give way in the end. A system which looks to the extinction of a race is too horrible for a nation to adopt without entailing upon itself the wrath of all Christen! >m. and engendering in the citizen a disregard for hutnanlife and the rights of others dangerous to soci ety. I see no substitute for such a sys tem except in placing all the Indians on large reservations as rapidly as it can be done, and giving them absolute protection there. As soon as they are fitted f >r it, they should lie induced to take their lands severally, and to set up territorial governments for their own protection. For full details on this subject I bail your special atten tion to the reports of the Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioner of j Indian Affairs. The recommendation of the General jof the army that appropriations be made for the ports of Boston, Port > laud, New York, Philadelphia, New | Orleans aud San Francisco, if for no ! other, is concurred in. I call special attention to the recom mendation of tho Chief cf Ordnance for the sale of arsenals and lands no longer of use to the government, also, to the recommendation of the Secreta ry of War that the act prohibiting pro motion in the staff corps of the army be repealed. The extent of country to be garrisoned and the number of mili tary posts to be occupied is the same with a reduced army, as with a large one, the number of staff officers requir ed ii more dependent upon the latter than the former condition. The report of the Secretary of the J Navy, ac ompanying this, shows the | condition of the navy when this ad- I ministration came into office, and the ! changes made since. Strenuous efforts have been made to place as many ves sels in commission, or render them fit for service, if required, as possible, and to substitute the sail for steam whilst cruising, thus materially reducing the expenses of the navy and adding great ly to its efficiency. Looking to our fu ture, I recommend a liberal, though not extravagant policy, toward this branch of the public service. The report of the Postmaster Gan ! eral furnishes a clear and comprehen sive exhibit of the operations of the j postal service, and of the financial cou ; dition of the Postoffice Depi rtraent.— | The ordinary postal revenues for the year t Hiding the 30th of June, 1809, j amounted to $16,414,510; and the ex- ; ponditures to $23,498,131. Your at-1 tension is respectfully called to the re-1 c omniimdation made bv the Postmaster j General for authority to change the ! rate of compensation to the main trunk ; railroad linos for their services in car- j rying the meils; for having post route ! maps executed; for reorganizing and! increasing the efficiency of the special I agency service; for increase of the j mail service on the Pacific, and for ee- ; tablishir.g mail service under the flag of the Union on the Atlantic, and most especially do l cali your attention to Iris recommendation for the total abo ! lition of the franking privilege. This j is an abuse from which no one receives : a commensurate advantage. It re i duces the receipts for postal service | from 25 to 30 per cent., and largely ; increases the servicefto be performed ! during the year, ending the 30th of ! September, 1809. The Patent Office issued 13,702 pat -1 ents, and its receipts were $380,389, 1 being $213,920 more than the exnendi ! lures. I would respectfully call your atten tion to the recommendation of the Sec retary of the Interior for uniting the duties of supervising the education of freedmen with the other duties devolv ing upon the Commissioner of Educa tion. If it is the desire of Congress to make the census, which must be taken dur ing the year 1870, more complete and perfect than heretofore, I would sug gest early action upon any plan that may be agreed upon. As Congress, at the last session, appointed a committee to take into consideration such meas un s as might be deemed proper in ref erence to the census, and to report a plan, I desist from saying more. I recommend to your favorable con sideration the claims of the Agricultu ral Bureau for liberal appropriations in a country so di verified in climate and soil as ours, and with a population so largely dependent upon agriculture.— The benefits that can bo conferred Im properly fostering this Bureau are in dispensiLle. I desire, respectfully-, to call the at tention of Congress to the inadequate salaries of a number of the most im portant officers of the Government. In this message I will not enumerate them, but will specify only the Justices of the Supreme Court. No change has been made in their salaries for fifteen years. W ithin that time the labors of these Courts have largely increased, and the expenses of living have at least doubled during the same time. Con gress has twice found it necessary to increase largely the compensation of its own members, and the duty which it owes to another department of the Government deserves, and will un doubtedly receive, due comideration. There are many subjects, not alluded to in this message, which might with propriety be introduced, but I abstain, believing that your patriotism and statesmanship will suggest the topics and the legislation most conducive to the interests of the whole people. On my part, I promise a rigid adherence to the laws and their strict euforoe uient. U. S. Grant. Waxhbiglon . D. C, Vac. (>//;, 1869. ISSSISI. -Wie*—. SiA if Li UL 11. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor CARTE RSV IDLE, GA., DEC, 16t:i. 1800 ffey-We had the pleasure of being in attendance upon the North Georgia Confer ence, at Rome, last week, and enjoying the hospitalities of some of her warm-hearted and generous citizens, which is proverbial wherever our little mountain city is known. Wc also had the pleasure of listening to dis courses from some of the brightest lights in the Methodist E. Church South, and which vve hesitate not in saying arc unrivalled by any church lights of the age, hero or else where, in our humble opinion. To say no thing of our North Ga Conference preach ers, wc heard, on Saturdy night last, a lec ture from the justly distinguished Dr. iilun scy, ol the Baltimore Conference and Secre tary of the Board of Foreign Missions. Al though possessing not a very imposing per sonal appearance, he evinces powers of in tellectual culture rarely attained by any one in this life. He may be truthfully cailed an intellectual giant, which fact is attributable, in great degree, to his studious habits. He has the perfect mastery of language, and, consequently is never at a loss lor a word, We think, lie fully comes up to representa tion. On Sabbath, A. Af., we listened to an able and powerful sermon from Bishop Dogget, on the text ‘-And Paul stood in the midst of Mar’s Ilill.” Here he arrayed paganism against Christianity—the triumph ot truth over error, in a chaste. log.cal aud forcible discourse of an hour’s lcugti). Bishop Dog get is a ripe scholar, an able exponent of the scriptures, and possessed of tine admin istrative abilities, of dignified appearance, and gentlemanly bearing. In the afternoon we heard the wonderful prodigy of America—the boy preacher, Rev. Robert A. Holland, only about 24 years of age, began his ministry at the early age ol 17, we learn. Though so young he handled the scriptures with the mind of a sago, llis language was beautiful, his style of address easy but forcible and impressive, his figures sttbiime, and his appearance mild and lamb l.ke. While nature and grace have both lavishly bestowed their gilis upon him, he nevertheless is now, andnasbeen, a student. Southern Methodism will; doubtless, in the history of this rising star of the 19th centu ry, have cause, in the future, for which to thank and praise iod. While we reviewed the vast audiences who listened with such undivided attention to these great men, the thought flipped across our mind, how many of them might have attained, in great measure, to th# same de gree of usefulness had they made the same application of time to study and research. VV e also had the pleasure of hearing, for ! tlie first time, a sermon preached by that gifted son of the North Georgia Conference, Ur. J esse Boring, which was replete with sound logic, good sense, and godly admoni tions The following are the nppoiutmcnts for i this (uow) the Marietta District: j r M Ryburn, P.
