The total number ot ! men at this time in the naval service, including otffceis, is about titty-one thousand. There have bet a captured by tho navy during the the year, three hundred and twenty-four ves sels, and tiio whole number of nava! captures since hostilities commenced is ono thousand three hundred uud seventy-nine, of which two hundred and sixty -seven are steamers. The 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.

Hor yet is this all. ’The number in 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 iveti ad negatively by the election.. It is not to serial to inquire how the increase has been pi 4 0“ -c.id, or to show that it would have 1 - ■ great 4, r but for the war, which is probably 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 plete av ■ 4 . ndant than ever. The national n-sourcev thru, (tie unexhausted, and, as we be::-: . , vn. iiiaustable. The public purpose ton ivm.tesbaml maintain t'«e national au 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. Aura it am Lincoln. FORKMLV t FKIMB. Tiro iron-chid tnrrctted ship the Royal Sov ereign, the only tarretted ship in the British Navy, has been put out of commission and laid up \at Portsmouth as a part of tho first class steam reserve at that port. This amounts to a decision by tlio Board of Admiralty uufavor afile to the ship as a si a going vessel. Tho partisans of the tuiTetti and or monitor claea of ships contend that the Royal Sovereign has not had a fair trial. The French are building at Toulon anew iron clad war steamer, which they claim, will be superior to anything yet built in Europo or America. This now engine of war is called Le Tanrea, lies lew in tho water, is roundbacked liko a turtle, turns quickly on its axis, is heav ily enriassed, has great speed, and carries a big gun fore and aft. In Paris, shops of tobacconists aro agencies for tlio loan of umbrellas. Any cue caught iu a shower may procure one by depositing its vaiue as security, returning it the next day to any tobacconist’s . hop, and account boiug kept between them; .Six sous is tho price of a day’s hire. An ingenious Englishman h-is been permit ted to try some experiments at the gas works at Malinos, the meet successful of which was tlie sudden appearance throughout the city of a boautilut clear red light, which, threw around rays of the most brilliant donciiption. It is said that by tlie addition t-> tho asometer of some chemical 8.-.lk;, an iaci.:;:-e light and changes of color can lie instantaneously pro duced. In England, tho Ibb'c is now supplied for twelve cents, tho New Testament for four cents, tbo Gosuel for two cords each. Darina the first six months of tho present year 32,041,243 letter.-; passed through the Italian postotiicc, being a diminution of 1.757,- 692 compared with the corresponding period of 1863. The number ol journals sent through the post was 2,817,082. The French journals announce (he death of M. Charles Reybaud at the ago of sixty four. The*iocoased has been for a period of nearly thirty-live years utiaf-lied t > Pie editmial staff of tlieCoiislilutionn*:;, the Debate, amt lastly, of tlie Moniteur. The IndepoudbßCO. of Urunaels states that ho bank of thy gaming house of Spa had just had an extraordinary vein of ill luck. One of tho most sucsr .sfnl players war, the Hungarian Gen. Klapka. He had announced his iuten iion to play only an hour and a quarter, aud at, the expiration of that time he lose a winner of 57, GOO Danes. La Franco announces that Brazil has brok en off friendly relation:; with tho United States on account of the seizure of the Florida. The English journals publish the official cor respondence between the American Consul at Bahia and the Governor of that province. Under tho correspondence some of tho English journals reiterate their denunciations of the seizure of the Florida. A London paper confesses that British army officers, when regular’v commissioned, have always been received with courtesy in tho American camps North and Bond’. Tlie I’atrio assarts that England has called upon the great, Pot, re to protest collectively against tho seizure of the Florida. Tho OpitiioDC-, of Turin, of November 3, de nounces tlie cxietonco in several towns in tho centre of tho country and on tho coast, of offi cers for enlisting voluotce s for the United States of America. The. recruiting agents are said to have caused desertio: s iu the Italian army. The cost of tho tomb for tho royalty of Eng land, which is beif g erected at Frogmoro, will be $500,000. Tho Russian Government encourages ma nage among i!s so'd'c;:i, provides the sonple with a house, f.uppoHs them well and roars their children, birr fate ;• array all tho boys at a tender age and sofcds them so military.gar rison, there to be trained for tho army. There arc 300,000 of this kind of soldiers now in the Russian army. Tho much vaunted iron clad frigate Warrior, of the British r.nvy, has been found of no ac count, and has been p>;t out of commission at -Portsmouth dockyard. The stimulus given to tho cotton cultivation in Egypt and Syria by the high, prices ot cot ton consequent on the American civil war, 2 1 s caused a considerable .emigration of Jc.vi. h families from' Morocco to the above nauud countries, where they find profitable employ - ment in the cotton plantations. Tim present Sultan of Morocco has abandoned the oppres sive exaction of one hundred dollars ?>, a li cense feo on every Jewess quitting his domin ions. Accounts from Alexandria,.Egypt, make tlio total shipment of cotton from that port during the season ending September 30, to be 334,320 bales, including 255,850 heles to Great Britain. In addition to the quantity actually there are about 12,000 bales in stock, chiefly of the lower grades. The new crop is expected to exceed the last by about twenty or twenty five per cent., iu which case tbo yield wi'i reach 415,000 to 43-3,00;) bales against 346,099 bales in 1863 and 18C4, In the town of Zabaieii, Wiriemberg, there has been lately opened anew printing estab lishment by M. Theodore Iloigcrad. All the compositors and pressmen aro deaf and dumb, to the number of one hundred and sixty: eleven ot the former are women. They have all U-eu edu eated at M Relgerad’s own cost to ihe em ployment they are now engaged in. The Persian Gulf telegraph cabio has been repaired. The iand fine is complete from Boshiae to Teheran, and messages have come through to Bombay ia twelve hours. The ex tension from Teheran to Bagdad will be finished next month. General Delia Kovcre, late ly Italian Minister of War, is <!<>:»<!. The General held tbo post *of Governor of biciiy after the annexation. A Tr.CE Statement.—A correspond.ait of the L Athens Watchman writing from Richmond. 1 gives in a few words the result of the proposed congressional legislation at Richmond: A bill is now pending, introduced by Mr. Blandford, of your State, proposing to put every man between the ages of 18 aud 45 in the army, and allowing the President to de tail such ns ho may think cught to be kept at homo. Pass this monstrous bill, with the im pressment law as it now' glands, au'liorizipg tho indiscriminate plunder of property, then superaddod the suspension ot the writ of ha beas corpus, and the last vestige of liberty is gone. All control over our property, our per sons and our liberty, wilt be placed in tho bands of the President. This is unqualified, unmitigated and absolute despotism. It is said that Judge Davis, of Illinois will all but certainly be the next Chief Justice of the United States, the Chase men lo the con trary notwithstanding. Ho is the most inti mate and trusted friend of Mr. Lincoln.
