nvers. Still further legal provisions will be necessary
for the effective and successful extension of our sys
tem of Indian intercourse over the new Territories.
I recommend the cttahlishuient ol a branch rniut in
Oalifoniia, as it will, in my opinion, afford important
facilities to those engaged iu mining, as well as to
the Government in the disposition of tbo mineral
lands.
I also recommend tliatcommissinns be organized by
Congress, to examine and decide upon the validity
of the present subsisting land titles in California and
*’f* Mexico; and that provision be made for the es
tablishment of offices of Surveyor General in New
Mexico, California, and Oregon; nml for the surveying
and bringing into market the public Isndsin those Ter
ritories. Those lands, remote in position and difficult
0 j*p t ' c, r' ought to be disposed of on terms liberal to
all. but especially favorable to the early emigrants.
In order that the situation and cbarncterot the prin
cipal mineral depositea in California may be ascer
tained, I recommend that a genlncical su’d mineralo
gies! exploration be connected with the linear survey*
■nd that the mineral lands be divided into small lota
suitable for mining, and be disposed of. by tale or
lease, so aa to give our citizens an uppnrtueity of pro
caring a permanent right of property in the soil. Thi*
would seem to be at important to the success of min
ing as of agricultural pursuit*.
Tho great mineral wealth of California, and the ad
vantage* which it* porta *nd harbor*, nnd those of Or-
egon,afford to commerce, eapecially with the island*
of the Pacific and Ind-an ocean*, and the populous re
giona of Eastern Asia, make it certain thnt there will
arise, iu a few years, large and prosperous communi
ties on onr western coast. It. therefore becomes ini
portent that a line of communication, the best and
roost expeditious which the nature of th- country will
admit, should be opened, within the territory of the
United Blatea. from the navigable waters of the At
lantic or the Golf of Mexico, to the Pacific. Opinion,
as elecited and expressed by two large and respecta
ble conventions, lately assembled at St. Louis and
Memphis, points to a railroad as that which, if prarti
cable, will best meet the wishes and wants of the
country. But while this, if in successful operation,
would be a work ofgreat national importance, and of
value to the country which it would be difficult to eati
mate, it ought also to be regarded as an undertaking
of vast magnitude and expense, and one which ipust
if it be. indeed, practicable, encounter many difficul
ties in its construction and nse. Therefore, to avoid
failure aud disappointment; to enable Congress
to judge whether, in tbe condition of the coun
try throogh which it must pass, the work be
feasible, and if it be so. whether it should be underta
ken as a national improvement or left to individual
enterprise; and in the latter alternative, what aid, if
any. ought to be extended to it by the Government, I
recommend as a preliminary measure a careful recon
noiasauce of the several proposed routes by a scienti
fic corps, and a report as to the practicability of mak
■ueb a road, with an ustimkte of the costofits con
stroction and support.
For further views on these and other matters con
nected with tbe duties of the Home Department. I re
fer you to the report of the Secretary of tbe Interior.
I recommend early appropriations forcontinuingthe
river and harbor improvements which have been al
ready began, and also for the construction of those for
which estimates have been made, as well as for ex
animations and estimates preparatory to the com
meuccment of such others as tbe want* of the coon
try. and especially the advauce of our population over
new districts, and the extension of commerce, nisv
render necessary. An estimate of the amount whirh
can be advantageously expended within die next fis
cal year, under the direction of the Burean of Topo
graphical Engineers, accompanies the report of the
Secretary ot War. tu which 1 respectfully iuvite the
aUeution of Congress. *
The ccssiou ol' territory made by tbe late treaty with
Mexico baa greatly extended our exposed frontier,
and rendered its defence more difficult. That treaty
has also brought us under obligations to Mexico, to
comply with which a military force is requisite But
our military establishment is not materially changed
aa to its efficiency from tbe condition in which it stood
before the commencement of the Mexican war. Some
addition to it will therefore be necessary; and 1 re
commend to the favorslde consideration of Cnnnress
an increase of the several corps of the army at our
distaut western posts, a* proposed in the accompany
ing report ol die Secretary of VVar.
Great emliarrass-neut lisa resulted from the effort
upon rank, in the aruiy. Iieretsfore given to brevet and
staff commissions. The viewsofthe secretary of war
on this subject, are deemed important, and if carried
into affect will it is believed, promote the harmony of
the service. The plan proposed for retiring disabled
officers, and providing an asylum for such of the rank
and file as from age, wound*, and other infirmities oc
casioned by service, have become unfit to perform
their respective duties, is recommrnden as a means ol
increasing the efficacy of the army, and *s an art of
justice, due from a grateful couutry to the faithful sol
dier.
The accompanying report of the secretary of the
Navy presents a full awl satisfactory account of the
coiKhtton and operations of the naval service darine
die past year. Our citizens engaged in the legiti
mate pursuits of commerce have enjoyed its benefits.
Wbercveronri-ational ve.-ar:a have cone, they have
been received with respect, our officers have been
received with kindness and coartety. and they have,
on allioccasiona. pursued a course of strict neutrality,
in accordance with the policy ol our government.
The naval force at present in commission is as large
as is admissible, with the number of men authorized
by Congress to be employed.-
(invite yoor attention to the recommendation of tbe
secretary of the Navy on the suhjectof a reorganiza
tion of the Navy, in it* various grades of officers, and
the establishing of a retired list for such of the officers
as are disqualified for active and effective service.
Should Congress adopt some soch measure, as is re
commended. it will greatly increase the efficiency of
the Navy, and reduce its expenditure*.
I also ask your attention to the views expressed by
him in reference to the employment of war-stesmers,
and in regard to the contract* for the tranaiM>rt*tinn
of the United States’ mails, and the operation of the
system opon the prosperity of the Navy.
By an act of Concrete passed Augest 14th.I848.
provision was made for extending post office and mail
accommodation* to California sod Oregon. Exer
tions have been made to execute that law; but the
limited provisions of the net, tbe inadequacy of the
means it authorize*, tbe ill adaptation of our post of
fice laws to tha situation of that country, and the
measure of compensation for services allowed hy
those laws, compared with the prices oflalior and rents
in California, reuder those exertions, in a crest de
gree, ineffectual. More particular and efficient pro
vision by law is required on this subject
Tbe sctofl843. reducing postage, has now, by Us
operation during four years, produced resulrs mlly
sbowing that the income from snch reduced postage
is sufficient to sustain the wlwle expense of the ser
vice of tho I’ost Office Department, not including the
cost of transportation in mail steamers on the lines
from New York to Chagres and from Panama to As
toria, which have not been considered by Congress as
properly belonging to the mail service.
It is submitted to the wisdom of Congresi. whether
a farther reduction of postage should not now be mad*
more particularly on the lettor corrca|iondence. Tins
should be relieved from the unjust burthen ol trsns-
porting nnd delivering the frankod matter nt Congress.
tor which public service provision should be in* efnira
the treasury. I confidently believe that n change
msv safely be made, reducing alliingle-letter postage
to the uuitbnn rsteof fivecent*. regardless ofdistsnre,
without thereby imposing sny greater tax on tltrt ea-
sury than would constitute a very moderate compen-
cation for this public service; sod I t, ’^ rc ,. re ,. re , 'ff, t m
fully recommend such a reduction, should Congress
prefer lo abolish the franking prtvilece eutirelj.it
seems probable that no demand on the treasury would
result from the proposed redurttonof postage. bo

Huiiiug much relief I sent uH'iu haste foryour Auodine
cough drops. The first -dose or two releived me very
much, and by continuing a tree expectoration was soon
established, when the cough was uo longer trouble
some. One bottle freely used cored me entirely. So
soon as I could ride, I visited a neighbor who was also
under the advice of a physician, who had been prostrn.

your cough drops to be used, which was immediately
sent for. nnd as usuuJ gave quick leliel', and he gradu

Again one of my neighbor’s children was expected
to die from the whooping couch, ami iu that condition

I NOTICE in a late numher of the Journal and Me,'
,eager, the opinion expressed “ theprrperlocation
for a town on the South- Western Rni!rend, will be the
point where the ears load and unload. West cf Flint
‘River.’’ .
In this opinion, the Editors are entire!/correct. I
had supposed, that no doubt could exist in the public
mind as totliupoiut. long since, fixed upon by the Com
pany. As some uncertainty, however, is expressed in
the article in question; and as interested parties are
doubtless encased in creating a wrong impression in
regard to this matter, it may not be improper for me
to state, and I do it n\wmofficial authority, that the on
ly Depot west of Flint River, established by tlie Board
tif Directors, is at the Town of Oglethorpe.
That all who may wish to invest money in the pur
chase of lots, st the point where the Depot is really lo
Gated, may act understandiogly, I have the permission
oftlie President of the South-Wi stem Company, to
publish the following
ir,-8-,tulion of tlieftonnl of'Dlretors:
•The Engineer reported that E. G. Ca baniss of Mon
roe county, offers to givethe Risht of Wav.and surh
additional lands aa may be necessary for tlio Compa
ny’s uso—provided the company determines to locate
a Depot on his lands, on the West side of Flint River.
Ordered, That the Engineer be authorised to in
form Mr. Cahaniss. that a Depot will bo placed on
his lands, on the terms he proposes.
A true extract from the Minutes, May 17th. 1849.-
As an evidence that it is contemplated that an ex
tensive business will b« done at this point, a deed has
been executed by the undersigned; according to the
above agreement, granting to the company, twenty
eight acres o f ground for a Depot and work shops.
From this, the public may form their own opinion as
to the place where the business of South Western
Gcorcia will concentrate, and act nrcordir.glv.
