the year, three hundred and twenty-four ves

gross proceeds arising from the sale of con
demned prize property thus far reported
amounts to $14,396,250 5). A large amount
of such proceeds is still under adjudication,
and yet to be reported. Tho total expendi
tures of the Navy Department of every descrip
tion, including the cost of the immense squad
rons that have been called into existence, from
the 4th of March, 18(il, to the Ist of Novem
ber, 1864, are $238,617,262 35. Your favor
able consideration is invited to the various re
commendations of the Secretary of the Navy,
esoecially in regard to a navy yard and suita
ble establishment for the construction and re
pair of iron vessels and the machinery and ar
mature for cur ships, to which reference was
made in my last annual message. Your atten
tion is also invited to the views expressed in
the report in relation to tho legislation of Con
gress at its last session, in respect to prizes in
our inland waters. I cordially concur in the
recommendation of the Secretary as to the
propriety of creating the new rank of vico ad
miral in our naval service.
OCR POSTAL AFFAIRS.
Your attention is invited to the report of
the Postmaster General for a detailed account
of the operations and financial condition of the
Post Office Department.
The postal revenues for the year ending
June 30, 1864, amounted to $12,168,253,76,
and thd expenditures to $12,644,786,20 ; tho
excess of expenditures over receipt being $206,-
652,42.
The views presented-by the Postmaster Gener
eral on the subject of special grants by the Gov
ernment, in aid of the establishment of new
lines of ocean mail steamships, and the policy
he recommends for the development of in
creased commercial intercourse with adjuccul
aud neighboiing countries, should teceive tho
careful consideration of Congress.
INCREASING POWER OF THE COUNTRY.
It is of noteworthy interest that tho steady
expansion of population, improvement and
governmental institutions over tho new and
unoccupied portions of our country hive
scarcely been cheeked, much less impeded or
destroyed, by our great civil war, which, at
first glance, would seen; to have absorbed al
most the entire energies of tho nation Tho
organization and admission of tho State of Ne
vada has been completed, in conformity with
law, and thus our excellent system, if firmly
established in the mountains which once seem
ed a barren and uninhabitable waste between
tho Atlantic States and those which have
grown up on tha coast of the Pacific ocean.—
Tlie Territories of tlie Union are generally in a
condition of-prosperity and rapid growth.—
Idaho and Montana, by reason of their great
distance and the interruption of communica
tion with them by Indian hostilities, have been
only partially organized, but it is understood
that those difficulties are about to disappear,
which will permit their governments, like
those of tho others, to go into speedy and full
operation.
OUR INTERNAL AFFAIRS.
As intimately connected with, nnd promo
tive of, this material growth of tlio nation, I
ask tlie attention of Congress to the valuable
information and important' redbrnnsemlations
relating to tho public lands, Indian affairs, tho
Pacific railroads and mineral discoveries con
tained in the report of the Secretary of the In
terior, which iti herewith transmitted, and
which report also embraces tho subjects of
patents, pensions aud other topics ot public
interest pertaining to his department. The
quantity of pubtic land disposed of during the
five quarters ending on the 30!h of September
last was $4,221,342 acres, of which 1,538,614
acres wero’entered under the Homestead law.
The remainder was located with military land
warrants, agricultural scrip certified to States
for Railroads, and sold for cash. The cash re
ceived from sales aud location foes was 81,-
019,446. Tho income from sales during tho
fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1861, was $678,-
097,21, against $130,077,95 received during
the preceding year. The aggregate number of
acres surveyed during the yoarha3 been equal
to ihe quantity disposed of, and there ia open
to settlement abeut 133,000,000 acres of sur
veyed land
ing pacific RAIL;OAD AND TELEGRAPH,
i Tho great enterprise of connecting tho At
lantic with the Pacific States by railways and
telegraph lines lias been entered upon with a
vigor that gives assurance of success, notwith
standing tho embarrassments a- ising from the
prevailing high prices of materials and labor
Tho route of the main lino of tlio road has
been definitely located for one hundred miles
westward from the initial point at Omaha City,
Nebraska, and a preliminary location of tbo
Pacific Railroad of Cali'orqia has been made
from Sacramento eastward to tho great b-nd
of the Mucker river, in Nevada. Numerous
discoveries of gold, silver and cinnabar mines
have been added to ihe many heretofore
known; and tho country occupied by tho Sier
ra Nevada and Rocky Mountains and the su
boidinato ranges now teem with enterprising
labor, which is richly renumerative. It is be
lieved that tho products of the mines of pre
cious metals ih that region has during the year
reached, if not exceeded $100,000,000, in value.
It was recommeudcM in my last annual Mes
sage that our Indian system be remoddlod.
Congress, at its last session, acting upon the
recommendation, did provide for reorganizing
the system in California; and it is believed j
th::t under the present -organization the man
agement of tho Indians there will be attended
with reasonable success. Much yet remains to
be done to provide for the proper government
of tiie Indians in other parts of ihe country to
render it secure for the advancing settler, and
to provide for tha welfare of the Indians. The
Secretary reiterates}iis recommendations, and
to them the attention of Congress is invited.
FEX.-ION I.TST.
The liberal provisions made by Congress for
paying pensions to invalid soldiers and sailors
ot the republic, aud to the widows, orphans
and dependent mothers of whose who have
‘fallen in battle or died of disease contracted or
of wounds received in the service of their coun
try, have been diligently administered. There
have been added to the p'-nsiou robs during
the your ending the 3oth day of June last the
names of 16,770 invalid soldiers and of 271
disabled seamen ; making the present number
ot army invalid pensioners 22,767, and of navy
iuvalid pensioners 712. Os widows, orphans
aud mothers, 22,198 have been placed on the
army pension rolls and 248 on the navy roils.
The present number of army pensioners of this
class is 25,433, and of na-'y pensioners 793
At the beginning of the year Die number cf
Revolutionary pensioners was 1,430. Ouiy
twelve of them were soldiers, of v/fyem seven
have since died. Ihe remainder aro those
who under the law receive pensions because cf
relationship to Revoluation iry soldiers Dur
ing the year ending the 30th of June, 186 ',
$4,504,616,92 have been paid to pensioners oi
all classes.
THE CHARITABLE IXgTITCTIOXS OF TUB DISTRICT Os
COLUMBIA. 1
I cheerfully commend to your continued
patronage the benevolent institutions of the
District of Columbia which have hitherto been
established or fostered by Congress ; and re
spectfully refer for information concerning
them, and in relation to tlie Washington Aque
duct, tho Capitol and other matters ct local in
terest, to the renoit of tho Secretary,
ACmCHUCItE. _
The Agricultural Department, under the su
pervision ot its present energetic faithful
head, is rapidly commending itself .•the great
aud vital interest it was created to rd-unea.—
It is peculiarly the people's t'ey'.rtment, in
which they feel more directly concerned than
in auy other. I commend it to tile continued
attention and fostering care of Congress.
TUS WAB —OUR MILITARY OPLUATIONS— SeORE S
OF HXOOXSTRUCTIOX.
Tlie war continnea. Since the last annua!
moefage all the important lints and positions
then occupied by oar fotcee have i.eeu mair,-
taineti, and our armies havo steadily advanced,
thus liberating the regions left in the rear, so
that Missouri, Kentucky. Tennessee, and parts j
of other States, have again produced reasonably \
fair crcps. The most remarkable feature in th ■ ;
the military operations of the year is Gcneial !
Sherman’s attempted m uch of,thrio hundred
miles directly through an insurgent region.
It tends to show a great increase of our reia
t've strength that our in-Oliiet should
leet able to confront and hold in check every
active forco of the enemy, and y«t to detach a
well appointed largo army to move on such an
expedition. The result not yet being kuowa,
conjecture 114 regard to it should not here be
indulged. *
Important movements have also occurred
during tho year, to the effect of moulding so
ciety for durability in the Union. Although
short of complete success, it is much in the di
rection that twelve thousand citizens in each
of the States,ot Arkansas and Louisiana have or
gauizedjoyal State Governments with free Con
stitutions, and are earnestly struggling to main
tain aud administer them. The movement in
tne same direction, more extensive though less
definite, in Missouri, Kentucky aud Tennessee,
should not be overlooked. 15ut Maryland pre
sents tho example of complete success Mary
land is secure tc liberty and Union for all the
future. The genius. of rebellion will no more
claim Maryland. Like another foul spirit be
ing driven out, it may s~ek to tear her, but
it will woo her do more.
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY BY CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT .
At the last session of Congress a proposed
amendment of the Constitution abolishing
slavery throughout the United .States passed
the Senate but failed for lack of the requisite
two thirds vote in *he House of Hepresenta
iives. Although the present is tho same Con
gress, and nearly JJie same members, and
without questioning the wisdom or patriotism
of those who stood in opposition, I venture to
recommend tlie reconsideration and passage of
the measure at the present session. Os course,
the abstract question is not changed, but an
intervening election shows almost certainly
that the next Congress will pass the measure
ii tins does hot. Hence there is only a ques
tion of time as ta when the proposed amend
ment will go to the States for their action, and
as it is to go, at all eyents, may we not agree
that the sooner the better. It is not claimed
that the .election lias imposed a duty on mem
bers’lo change their views or their votes auy
further thau as an additional element to be
considered. Their judgment may be affected
by it. It ia the voige of the people now-for
the first time heard upon the question. In a
great national crisis like ours unanimity of
action among those seeking a common cud is
very desirable, almost indispensable ; and yet
no approach to such unanimity is attainable
unless some diference shall bo paid to the will
of the majority. In thih case the common end
is the maintenance of the Union, and among
tlie means to secure end, such will,
through tlie election, is most clearly declared
ia favor of such constitutional amendment.
THE RECENT I’RESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The most reliable indication of ; üblie pur
pose in this country is derived through our
popular elections. Judging by the recent ean
vass’and its result, the purpose of tho people
within the loyal States to maintain tho integ
rity of the Union was never more firm nor
more nearly unanimous than now. Tho extra
ordinary calmness and good order with which
the millions of voters met anil mingled at the
polls, give strong assurance of this. Not only
all those who supported tho “ Union ticket,’’
so Ailed, but a great majority of tho opposing
party also may be fairly claimed to entertain
and to be actuated by tho same purpose. It is
an unanswerable argument to this effect that
lo candidate for any office whatever, high or
low, has ventured to seek votes on tho avowal
that he was for giving up the Union. There
have been much impugning of motives and
much heated controversy as to the proper
means and best mode of advancing tho Union
causo ; but in the distinct issue of Union or no
Union the politicians havo shown their in
stinctive knowledge that there is no diversity
among tlie people. In affording the people tha
fair opportunity of showing one to another aDd
to the world this firmness cud uuanimity of
purpose, the election has bpeu of vast value to
the national cause. The election has exhibited
another fact not less valuable to be kuown-*-
tiie fact that we do not approach exhaustion
in the most important branch of national ro
sources—that 0! living men. White it is mel
ancholy to reflect that tha war has filled so
many graves and carried mourning to so many
hearts, it is some relief to know that, compared
with the surviving, the fallen have boon so
few. While corps and.divisions and brigades
and regiments have formed aud iouglit and
dwindled and gone out, of existence, a great
majority of tho men who composed them aro
stilt living. Tlio same is lru« of the naval ser
vice. Tho election returns prove this. .80
many voters could not else bo found. Tho
States' regularly holding elections, both now
and four years ago—to wit, California, Con
necticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, lowa,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hamp
shire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode,lsland, Vermont, West
Virginia and Wisconsin—cast "3,982,011 votes
now, against 3,870,222 cast then, showing an
aggregate now of 3,982,011, to which is lo be
Kansas and Nevada, which Slates did not vote
in I bo' 1 ;. thus swelling the aggregate to 4,015,-

Hi: is n-.tl California, who by the laws oi

organised territories is triple now what it was
four years ago, while thousands, white and
l tee!:, ;oin vs as the nation*i arras press back
the inr-.rgent lines. So much is shown afiir

not to serial to inquire how the increase has
been pi 4 0“ -c.id, or to show that it would have

ti 44, c. ihe important fact remains demonstra
ted that v/e have more men now than wo had
vre.cn 4 . oe war begun; that we are not exhaust
ed, nor in process of exhaustion; that we
arc gaming strength, ant! may, it need be,
maintain Die contest indefiilitely. This as to
men. atonal resources are now more com

be::-: . , vn. iiiaustable. The public purpose

thority ia unciiMged, and, as we believe, un
chan:: ; re. T’iie manner of continuing the ef
fort remains to choose.
TUK ireiilLß MUST BE SUBDUED.
Un CMcful consideration of all tho evidence
accessible it seems to ihe that no attempt at
m-retiation with the insurgeut leader could r’e-
F’.dc in any g'-.-d. Hs would accept of nothing
hor{ of the severance of tho Union. His dec
larations to that effect are explicit and oft re
peated. lie does not attempt to deceive us.
.Ip affords us no excuse to deceive ourselves.
We cannot voluntarily yield it. Between him
riui us the issue is distinct, simple and inflexi
ble. It is an t-s'ie which cau only be tried
by war, and decided by victory. It we yield
we are beaten. It the Southern people fail
him lie Is beaten. Either way it would be the
victory and defeat following war. What it*
true, however, ol him who be ids the insurgent
cause is not net -sarily true of those who fol
:'V7. Although he cannot reaccept the Union
they can. Some of them we know already de
sire peace and re-union. Idle nmnber of such
may increase. They can at any moment have
peace Simply by laying down their arms rml
submitting to the natter:;’, authority under the
Constitution. After so ndcli the government
coukfnot, if It won!,!, maintain war againct
them. The loyal p. : wotr ! iiO_t susUin or
allow it. If qui.-tu ns should remain we would
adjust them by ihe pe .coin! means ol legisla
tion, conference, court; ansi v- tee. Operating
only in constitutional 1 inw-ul channels,
some certain and other p.issi’oie questions are
and would he beyond tin; Executive powor to
adjust, as, for instance, tho of mem
bers into Congress, and whatever might re
quire the appropriation of money. Tlie Exe
cutive power itself would be greatiy diminish
ed by the cessation of actual war. Par ions
and ’remissions of forfeiture, however, would
still bo withiu executive control. In what 4
spirit and temper this control would bo exer
cised can bo fairly judged by the past.
A year ago general pardon and amnesty
upon specified terms, were offered to nil, ex
cept certain (iesigi.a’ed classes, and it was at
the same time made known that the excepted
classes were still within contemplation of 'spe
cial clemency. During the year many availed
themselves of the genera! provision, and many
more would, only that the signs of bad faith in
some led to such precautionary measu-es as
rendered the practical process less easy and
certain. During the same time also special
pardons havo been granted to individuals of
cxcopted’Masses, and no voluntary application
has been maiit'd. Tims, practically, tho door
has been fora full year open to all except such
as were not in condition to make free choico —
that is: such as were in custody or under con
straint. It is still so open to all; but tlio time
may come, probably will come, when public
duty shall demand that it be closed, and that
it lieu more rigorous measures than haieloforo
'shall be adopted.
THE END or SLAVERY.
In presenting The abandonment cf armed
resistance to tho national authority on the
part ct the insurgents as the only indispensable
condition to ending the war on the part of the
government, 1 refract nothing heretofore said
as to slavery. I repeat the declaration made a
year ago. and that while 1 remain in my pres
ent position I shall not attempt to retract or
modify the Emancipation Proclamation : nor
shall I return 4o slavery sny person who is free
by the term? of that proclamation, or by any
or the tmtfeof Congress. If the people should,
by whatever mode or means, make it an exe
cutive duty to re-enclave sucii persons, an
other, and not -I, must be their instrument to
perform it. In stating a single condition of
peace, I mean simply to say that the war will
cease on tho part of the government whenever
it shall havo ceased 011 the part of those who
began it.

superaddod the suspension ot the writ of ha

gone. All control over our property, our per
