No appropriations have been made or required since the close of the war for the construc tion and repair of vessels, for steam machinery, ord nance, provisions and clothing, fuel, hemp, Ac, the balauces under these several beads baring been more than sufficient for current expenditures. It should al' be slated to the credit of the Depart ment that, besides asking no appropriations for the above objects for the la.-t t w years.- the Secretary of the Navy, cm the 3Hh ot September last, in ac cordance wiin the act of May 1, 1820, requested the Secretary of the Treasury to carry to th surplus fund the sum of $5.000 000 being the amount re vived from the ales of vessel and other war pro perty, and the remnant of former appropriations. The report of the Postmaster General shows the sines of the Post Office Department aid the con dition of the postal ervi-e in a very favorable light, and the attention of Congress is called to its practi cal recommendations The receipts of the Depart ment for the year ending June 30. 1867,' including all special appropriations for $ea and land service and for free mail matter, were Si9,978,93 The expenditures for all purposes were $19 235 43, leaving an unexpended balance in favor of the De partment of $743,210. which can be applied towards the expeni-es of the Department for the current year. The increase of pos'al revenue, independent of specific appropriations, for the year 1807. over that of I860, was S" So 040 The increase of revenue from the .ale of stamps and stamped euvelopes was $783.4 "4 The increase of expenditures for 1867 over those of the previous year was owing chiefly to the extension of the land and ocean m i'l service. During the past year new postal conventions have been ratified and exchanged w ith the Ignited King dom of (Jreat Britain and Ireland. Belgium, the Netherlands, Swiizei land, the North German Union, Italy, and the Colonial Government at Hong Kong, reducing very largely the rates of ocean and land postages to and from and within ihoe countries. The report of the Acting Commissioner of Agri cul'ure concisely presents the condition, wants, and progress of an interest eminently worthy the foster ing care of Congress, and exhibits a large measure of useful results achieved during the year to which it refers. The re-establishment of peace at home, and the resumption of extended trade, travel, and commerce abroad, have served to increase the number and variety of questions in the department for foreign affairs. None of hese questions, however, have seriously distorbed our relations with other States The Republic of Mexico, having been relieved from foreign intervention, is earnestly engaged in efforts to ri-e.-tablijh her constitutional system of govern ment A good understanding com inues to exist be tween our government and the Republics of Hyti and San Domingo, and our cordial relations with the Central and South American States remain un changed. The tender, made in conformity with the resolution of Congress, of the good offices of the Government, with a view to an amicable adjustment of pence between Brazil and her allies, on one side, and Paraguay vu the other, and between Chili and her allies, on the one side, and Spain on the other, though kindly received has in neither case been fully accepted by the belligerents. The war in the Valley of the Parana is still vigorously maintained On the other hand, actual hostilities between the Pacific States and Spain have been more than a year sus pended. 1 shall, on any proper occasion that may occur, renew the conciliatory recomnienda'ions which have been already made Brazil with en lightened sagacity and comprehensive statesman ship, has opened the giear channels of the Amazon aud tributaries to universal commerce One thing more seems needful to assure a rspid and cheering progtess in South America I refer to those peace ful habits without which States and Nation cannot, in this age, well expect material prosperity or social advancement. The Exposition of Universal Industry at Paris has passed, and seem to have fully realized the high expectations of the French Government. If due al lowance be made for the recent political derange mtnt of industry here, the part which the United States has boine in this exhibition of invention and art may be regarded with very high satisfaction During the Exposition a conference was held of dele gates from the several nations, the United States being one, in which the inconveniences of commerce ami social intercourse resulting from the diverse standards of money value were very fully discussed, and plans were developed for establishing, by uni versal consent, a common principle for the coinage of gold. These conferences are expected to be re newed, with the attei dance of many foreign States now hitherto represented A report of these inter t sting proceedings will be submitted to Congress, which will no doubt justly appreciate the great ob ject, and be ready to adopt any measure which may ten- to facilitate its ultimate accomplishment On the 25t!i of February, 1 8:2, Congress declared by law that Treasury notes without interest, author ized by that act. should be legal tender in payment f all debts public and private, within the United Siates. An annual lemittnnce ot $30 000, less stip ulated expenses, accrues to claimants under the Convention made with Spain in 1834. These remittances, since the passage of that net. have been paid in such notes. The claimants insist that the Government ought to require payment in coin. Thefubject may be deemed worthy of your attention. No arrangement has as et been reached for the settlement of our claims for Brtitsh depredations upon the commerce of the United States. I have felt it my duty to decline the propo.-iiion of arbitra tion made by Her Mnjcsty's Government, because il has hithei to hern accompanied by reservations and limitations incompatible with the rights, inter est, and honor of our country. It is not to be ap priheno'eJ that Great Britain will persist in her refu sal to tati.-fy these just aud reasonable claims w hich involve the sacred principle of mm intervention a piincip'e henceforth not more important to the United States ban to all other commercial nations The Wct India Islands were settled and colo nized by Eutopoan States simultaneously with the retilcment and colonization of the American conti nent. Alosl of the colonies planted hete became independent nations in the close of the last and the beginning of the present century. Our own conn try emoruces communities which, at one petiod, were colonies of Great Britain. France. Spain, Hol land. Sweden, and Russia. The people in the West Indies, with the exception of those of the Island of Ilayti, have neither attained nor aspired to indepen dence, nor have they become prepared for self de fence. Although possessing considerable commer cial value, they have been held by the several Eu ropean State which colonized or to some time con quered them, chiefly for purposes of military and fiaval strategy in carrying out European policy and designs in regard to this continent. In our Revo lutionary War, ports and harbors in the West India Islands were yed by our enemy, to the great injury aud embarrassment of the United States. We bad ike sarte experience in our second war with Great Btitain. The same European policy for a long time excluded us even Irom trade with the West Indies, while we were t peace with all nations, Ioourrecet.t civil war the rebels, and their piratical and blockade-breaking allies, found ihe facilities in the tame poits for the work, which they too successfully ac complished, of ii'jury and devastating the commerce which we are uow engaged in rebuilding. We luborcd especially under this disadvantage that European steam vesssels, employed by our enemies, found friendly shelter, protection, and supplier in West Indian ports while our own naval operations w ere necessai ily cariied on from our own distant thores. There was then a universal feeling of want of an advanced naval outpost between the Atlantic cfiast and Europe. The duty of obtaining such an outpost peacefully and lawfully, while neither doing nor menacing injury to other States earnestly en gaged the attention of the Executive Department before the close of the war, and it has not been lost sight of since that time. A not entirely dissimilar naval want revealed itself during the same period .on ihe Pacific coast. The required foot-hold there was fortunately secured by our late treaty with the Emperor of Russia, and it-now scents imperative that the more obvious necessities of the Atlantic coast should not be less carefully provided for. A good and convenient port and harbor, capable of easy defence,: will supply that wanl With the pos session of such a station by the .United States, nei ther we nor any other American nation need longer apprehend injury or offence from any Trans-Atlantic niemy. I agree with oar ea,r!yK statesmen that the J West Indies naturally gravitate io, and may be ex i peeled ultimately to be absorbed by the Continental j States, including oar own I agree, witb-iben also I that it is wise to leave the ouesuon of inch obiorn. i lion to this process of natural political gravitation. i ne isianas or Ot Thomas and St John's, which con stitute a part of the group called the Virgin Wands, seem to offer ns advantages irnmediatelv desirable, while tb-ir acquisition could be secured in harmony wirh the principles lo which I bare alluded A treaiy has therefore, been concluded with the King of Denmark for the cession of those islands, and will be submitted to the Senate for consideration. It will hardly be necessary to call the attention of Congress to ' the subject of providing for the pay ment to Russia of the sum stipulated in the treaty for the cession of Alaska. Possession having been formally delivered to oar commissioner, the teritory remains for the present in care of a military force, awaiting such civil organizatioa as shall be directed by Congress The annexation of many small German States to Prossia, and the reorganization of that country un der a new and liberal constitution, have induced me to renew the effort to obtain a jnst and prompt set tlement of the long vexed question concerning the claims of foreign States for military service from their subjects naturalized in the United States. In connection with this subject, the attention of Congress is respectfully called to a singular and embarrassing conflict of laws The Executive De partment of this Government has hitherto uniformly held, as it now holds, naturalization, in conformity with the Constitution and laws of the United States, absolves the recipient from his native allegiance The Courts of Great Britain hold that allegiance to the British Crown is indefeasible, and is not absol ved by nor laws of naturalization. British judges cite courts and law authorities of the United States in support of that theory against the position held by the Executive authority of the United States. This conflict perplexes the public mind concerning the rights of naturalized citizens, and impairs the national authority abroad I called Attention to this subject in my last annual message, and now again respectfully appeal to Congress to declare the na tional will unmistakably upon this important ques tion. The abuse of our laws by the clandestine prose cution of the Ifrican slave-trade from American ports or by American citizens has altogether ceased, and. under existing circumstances, no apprehensions of its renewal in this part oflhe world are entertain ed. Under these circumstances it becomes a ques tion whether we shall not propose to Her Majesty's Government a suspension or discontinuance of the stipulations for maintaining a navul foice for the suppression of that trade. ANDREW J0I1NS0N. Washington, December 3. 1867. Congress. December 2. In the Senate, a memorial froin the Alabama Convention for the repeal of the Cotton Tax, was referred. Resolutions of the Tennessee Legislature, asking the repeal of the Cotton and Tobacco Tax, was presented. At twelve o'clock the commencement of the new session was announced. In the House, the Judiciary Committee was instructed to enquire whether the House had the right to accept or reject the terms of a treaty like that acquiring Kussian America. Various petitions, resolutions, &c., requesting the repeal of the cotton tax, were referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. At twelve o'clock the beginning of the new session was proclaimed. One hundred and forty six members being present. . A committee was appointed to wait on the President, who subse quently reported that the President would com municate his message at noon to-morrow. December 3. Iu the House on the 3d, Mr Schenck, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported a bill, that all cotton raised in the United States, after the year IStiT, be ex empt from tax. He refused an amendment making the same law apply to sugar. Mr Schenck proceeded to explain why the law w:is not made to apply to cotton raised this year. One-fifth was already ou the market, and a very large poition of it had passed from the hands of the producers and growers, and they would de rive but little benefit from it. The committee believed that it wu!d be impolitic and inexpe dient. Mr 13 rooks moved a substitute, that the tax be abolished, and. that no American manufac tured cotton Koods shall be entitled to the benefit of the existing drawbacks, unless shipped within ninety days oi the passage of this Act. A general debate ensued, in which Messrs. Covode, Ela and Uutler opposed the repeal, and Logan, Blaine, Mullen, Garfield and Niblack favored Schcuck's bill, and Barnes and Hill fav oring Brooks' substitute. The President's message was then read in the House, and the standing committees were ap pointed. December 4. In the Senate, the ratification of the 14th Article of the Constitution, by Ne braska, was announced. Mr Drake offered a concurrent resolution, that the President had transcended his Constitutional powers, in the language of the message, refer ring to reconstruction. A motion to print extra copies of the message elicited a debate, ventila ting the; views of several Senators. Mr Howard did not think it worthy of publication. It was a libel on every member who voted for the re construction bill. It was nothing less than an insidious invitation of the rebel States to resist, by violence, the reconstruction acts. He would not vote money for the distribution of such at tacks on the people's Representatives. Mr An thony said the question was whether they would depart from the precedent, and hereafter only print matter advancing their own views. Mr Sumner moved to amend by printing only, the reports. He considered the message uot only a libel on Congress, but an incendiary document, designed to stir up the rebels. Mr Buckalew claimed that the President but exercised his prerogative in presenting his views to Congress. Mr Wilson said that Congress was not to be de terred from ita work, by either the President or the press, and the South will be represented by the fourth of July next. The President libeled not only Congress, but the Freedmen, in declar ing them unfit for the ballot. He declared that the newspaper correspondents were in the inter cut of the rebels, and made garbled statements. Mr Dixon claimed that the Reconstruction Acts had been strongly condemned by the recent elec tions. The question of printing the message was postponed. A bill amending the Kccenstruction Acts, so as to rcrpuirc only a majority of the votes cast to call a Convention, wss referred to the Judiciary Committee. A bill was passed declaring five members of the Supreme Court a quorum. In the HousCj the bill removing the tax on cotton alter this year's crop was passed as it came from the Committee. Nays 20. Dec. 5. Nothing of importance was done to day. A bill striking the word '-white" from the ordinances of the District of Columbia was adop ted by the Senate by a vote of 30 to 8. Dec. 6. The impeachment argument attracts but little attention. Bout well's line of argument is mainly to show that the Committee was right in ita report, though the House fehould refuse to impeach. He combats Wilson's position that impeachment is possible only on indictable of fences. -The impression is, that after Wilson's Fpeech, the whole matter will be tabled, . , . , , The Western Democrat ; W. J. YATES, Editor asv Peopbiitob. ' CHARLOTTE, N. C. December 10, 1867. President's Message. We publish in full the Message of President Johnson to the new Congress which assembled On Monday last. Its great length compels us to use small type, which we regret on account cf the eye-sight of many of our readers. We pre sume that all will be highly interested in reading the President's views on public matters, espe cially that portion in regard to reconstruction. The President talks with more courage than he has heretofore done. JBS"F A good deal of matter prepared for this issue was crowded out by thePresident's Message. m mm SAn order has been issued by Gen. Canby making changes in the Military Posts of this State. The post of Charlotte is abolished, and the troop, will be removed. A Lecture upon the subject of "Light" will be delivered at the Charlotte Female Insti tute on Friday night next (13th), at 7 o'clock, by Prof. Blake of Davidson College. This is the 2d of the Course of Lectures to be delivered monthly by literary gentlemen of the State. A cordial invitation is extended to all who feel in terested in such subjects to attend. " JB5 Judge Mitchell will preside during the Special Term of the Sup3rior Court for this county, commencing to-day. How TO live Lonu. Eat and drink and be comfortable. Never go to excess, and always be hopeful. Let the world wag as it will, be happy. If it goes well, laugh; if it goes ill, never cry, for that makes it no better. Be cheerful, contented, simple in habits, active in pursuits, wish well to man, and have faith in God. Then shall your years stretch out like a summer's day, and your youth shall be perpetu-.il. We copy the above paragraph from an ex change paper, and recommend it to the careful consideration of these who seem to think that everything is going to destruction. What is the use of grieving and mourning over that we cannot help. Even if the Republican party has carried our good old State in the recent elections, don't let us be discouraged. Be hopeful, be cheerful and kind and generous ; and if any of the Republican delegates appear vicious and re vengeful, use kind arguments to persuade them that they arc wrong, but don t abuse them. Re member that "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Gen. Grant's testimony before the Im pcachment committee shows that, soon after the close of the war, President Johnson was anxious to hang Jeff. Davis, Gen. Lee and other promi nent Southern men. Gen. Grant opposed such a course with all his might, and defeated it. Southern men who like to do so, may praise and worship Andrew Johnson, but we will never praise a man who would not "rive Mrs. Suri att and others enough time to prepare to die, and who was in favor of hanging Jeff. Davis and Gen. Lee. Be sides, President Johnson repudiated the treaty made between Gen. Sherman and General Joe. Johnston near Greensboro, N. G, in 1805, and therefore is responsible for all the trouble that has been brought upon the Southern people by the organization of the Radical party. By John sou's bitter enmity towards the southern people, he instigated the formation of the Radical party. We are opposed to hanging Jeff. Davis and Gen. Lee, and can't admire any man who favored it. The N. C. Conference. The annual session of this Conference of the Methodist E. Church was held in Wilmington last week. We have room this week onlj to announce the appointments for the Western part of the Con ference boundary Next week we will publish the appointments in full : Salisbury District Win. Closs, P. E.

Canby and con veyed to Charleston for trial. The persons ex ecuted were "raiders" who claimed to be Union men. Fine Beef.

U. S. Circuit Court. Judge Brooks, in the Circuit Court of the United States, on yes terday, held that the Military or Reconstruction Acts of Congress do not embrace the Federal Civil Courts; and, therefore, a trial before a Mili tary Commission for an offence against the laws of the United States, where their Courts have exclusive jurisdiction, was no defence in the Circuit Court to a prosecution for the same of fence. And his" Honor declared with emphasis, that in all cases where the military have seized and undertook to try by such Commission a party charged with such criminal offence against the Uuitcd States, he would grant the writ of Jta-bc-as corjms, and discharge the party from mili tary arrest for such offence.
