time anJ patience. I applied myself diligently' to this task from the beginning, and was aided by the able and energetic efforts of the Heads of the differ ent Executive Departments. The result of our la bors in. this good causa did not appear in the sum total of our expenditures for the lirst two years, mainly in consequence of the extraordinary expen diture necessarily incurrd in the Utah expedition, and the very large amount of the contingent expen se of Congress during this period. These greatly exceeded the pay and mileage amounted to $1,490, illi, the contingent expenses rose to $2,09:3,300,79, and for the year ending 30th Juno 1859, pxy and mileage amounted to $859,093 60 the contingent expenses amounted to $1,431,565 V8. t am happy, however, to te able to inform you that during the last fiscal year ending on the 3uth June 1860, the total expenditures of the government m ail its branches legislative, executive, uud judic ial exclusive of the public debt, were reduced to th sua ef $55,402, 4ti5 40. This conclusively ap pears from the books of the Treasury. In the year ending on the 30th June 1858, to the total expendi ture, exclusive of the public debt, amounted to 71, 001,129 77, and that for the year ending 30th June 1859. to $66,346,226 13. AVhilst the books of the Treasury show an actual expenditure of $59,848,474 72 for the year ending on the 30th June 1800, inclu ding 1,040,607 .71 fur the contingent cxpewses of Congress, there must be deducted from this amount the luin of $4,296,009 26, with the interests upon it of $150,000, appropriated by the act of loth Feb ruary 1860, "for the purpose of supplying the de tioieoey in the revenues and defraying the expen ses of the P. O. Department for the year ending 30th Jtan 1S59." This sum, therefore, justly chargeable to the year ISSS, saust be deducted from the sum of $ 59,848,474 7i, ma rSer t ascertain the expendi ture for the year ending on the Suth June 1800, which leaves a balance tor the expenditures of tbat year of $55,402,405 40. The interests on the pub Co &e,h.t, including Treasury notes for the sanu .fiscal year fcudipg on the -30th June 1800, amounfed to 3,177,314 KtsJ, which aided to the above sum of $55,402,405 46, makes the aggregate of ,58,57, 760 08, AriucAS Slavk Tuade, 5cc. It ia with great sat isfaction I communicate the fact, that, since the date of my last Annual Message, not a single slave hns been imported into the U S in violatiou of the laws prohibiting the Afrieaoi slave trade.

Zix2ei, Jtlie spirit wliich prevailed some tune nsoe amang a iortioai of our fellow-citizens in favor W this trado seems to have entirely iiibsiueo. I also congratulate yau upon tlio public senti ment which now exists against the crime of setting on foot military expeditions within the limits of the l States, to proceed from thence and ruake war upon the pcopje of unoffending State, with whom we are at peace. In this respect a, happy change has been eilected since trio commencement of my dmiuistration. Election ov Mkmkers of CoxfittKSs. I again re irotiimend to Congress the passage of a l.iw in pur suance of the provisions of the Constitution, appoint ing a day previous to the 4th March, in eacii your of an odd number, fur the election of representatives Vhirouglv.mt all the States. A similar power has already been exercist-il, with general approbation, in the appointment of the same day throughout the I'nion for holding the election of electors for Presi dent and Vice Prffi letitof the U S. My attention h-h directed to this subject from the fac, that tlie i5th Congress tuniinaU d on the d M;iw-h, le-sii), -vilsotit making the necessary appropriation for the service of the Post OMiei Department. I was then forced to consider the 1 est runody for this omis sion, and an immediate call ol thu present Congress was the jt.itur.al resort. LTpon enquiry, however, I asoertacsMed that 1 fftet of the i?: Staled composing the Confederacy w'-e without rcjiresentativcs, and thnt, ,?! n-seipwntly, thoe fifteen Stares would be li sfi.a utilised by uch a rail.

TAJiirf. It in now iuiUr evident that the finan cial necessities of thu government will require a luoditication of the tariff during your present ses- ion, for the purpose of mcrcAsing t!ie reveiiiif. In thi aspect, I desire to reiterate cue recommendation contained in my list two ;u;u mil imi ss iges, in f.ivor of itniOsing cific hi Mien d a nd cuUr-c.tti d,u.tic4 all imported articles to which tlese ctii be properly applied. From long observaiion and experience 1 am convinced th;tt specific du'ies, arc necessary, both to protcet the revenue and to secure to nur manufactoring interests that amount of incidental encouragement which u avoidably . ults f.om a revenue tariff. As aa abstract proposition it may be admitted that ad valorem duties would, in theory, be the most j tut and equal. But if the experience of this and of all other coumaericial nations has demonstrated that such duties c.tnnot be assessed and collected without great frauds upon the revenue, then it is the part of wisdom to report to specific duties. In devL from the very natutt of an ad v-alorem duty must be tbo result. Uiulcr it the inevitable cones queuco is. that foreign ,roads will be entered at l.s than their true value The treasuay will, therefore lose tho duty on the difference between their real and fictitious vahio, and to this extent we are defrud d. Th temptations which ad valorem dutieii: present to a dash-oncst importer are irresistable. His object to pass bi goods through the custom-house at eery lowest valuation necessary to s ve them from confiscation. In tii'u lie too often succeeds in spite of the vigilarcc of the revenue officers. Hence tne resort to false invoices one for the purchaser and an other for the custom house, and to other expedients to defraud the government. The honest importer jroduccs kis invoice to the collector, stating the ac tual price at wMchhe purchased the articles abroad. Not o the deshodiest importer and the agent of the foreign manufacturer. And here it may be observed that a very large pseportion of tlie manufactures imported from abroad are consigned for sale to com mission inerchunts who arc mere agents employed by thc manufacturer. In such cases no actual .sale has buen made to fix their value. The foreign manu facturer, if he be dishonest, prepares an invoice of the goods, not ut their actual value, but at the very lowest rate necessary to esopo detection. In this manner the dishonest importer and the foreign man ufacturer enjoy n decided advantage over the honest ensrehant. They are thus enabled to undersell tlie fair trader, and drive him from the market hi fact the operation of this system has already driven from the pursuits.of honorable commerce many oftha't olass-af regular and conscientious merchants; whose eharacter, througliout the world, is tlx' pride of onr country. Th remedy for these evils as to be found in spec itfic duties, so far "aa this may be practicable. Thev tlispense with an' inquiry at the custom-house into the actual cost or value of the article, and it navs iterate tile tho precise amount of duty previously fixed by law. They present no temptations to the apprisers of for eign gods, wlio receive but small salaries, and might, hy underualuatiou iu a few cases, render them selves independent. Besides, specific duties best conform fo the requisi tion in tl Constitution that, -o preference shall be jriveu by any regulation of commerce i.r reenne to the ports of one State over those of another." Under our ad valorem system such preferences are to some extMitiaevitable, and complaints have often been made that the spirit of this provision has been violated by a lower appratseracnt of the same articles at one port than at another. An impression strangely enough prevails to some extent that specific duties arc necessarily protective duties. Nothing can be more fallacious. I aaouid da great injustice to the Attorney General, were I to omit the mention of his distinguished servi ces ia tne measures auopteu aua prosecuieu by mm for the defence of th.s government against numerous and unfounded claims to laud in California, purport ting to have been made by the Mexican government previous to the treaty of cession. The successful op position to these claima has saved to the U S public property worth many millions of dollars, aud to indi viduals holding title under, them to at least, an equal amount. ' ' j It baa been represented to me. from sources which sdeem reliable, that the inhabitants in several por Iions of Kansas have been reduced nearly to a state-of narration. The prospect before them for the ap- proaching winter is well calculated ."to enlist the sympathies of every heart. The destitution appears to be so yeueral that it cannot be relieved by private contribution?, and they are in such indigent circum stances as to be unabl ; to purchase the necessaries of life for themselves. I refer the subject to Congress. If any constitutional measure for their relief can be devised I would recommend its adoption. I cordially commend to your favorable regard the interests of the people of this District. They are em inently entitled to your consideration, especially since unlike the people of the Stites, they can appeal to no government except that of the Union. JAMES BUG II AN AX.

For Inflamed Eyelids. fllMI! delicate structure of the eyelid renders it pc X culiarly sensitive and liable to disease. When, from any cause, it becomes affected, the inner mem brane rapidly inflames, and the ej-elid evinces the strongest predisposition to attract to itself humors from all parts of the body. Hundreds of persons of scrofulous habit are disfigured by, rawness or redness of the eyelids, commonly called sore eyes, and tor tured with apprehensions of impaired vision, who, by using thi3 BALNA.M, may obtain almost imme diate relief.

Thereis a grow ing tendency iu this age to appropriate the .most ex pressive words of other languages, und after a while to incorporate them into out own ; thus the word Ce phatie, which is Irom the Greek, signifying " for the head,'' is now becoming popularized in connection with Mr. Spalding's great ileadaebft remedy, but it will soon be used in a more general way. and tfte word Cephalic will become as common as ELectrorype ard many others whose distinction as foreign wordj has been worn away by common usage until - they me in native and to the manor born-"' ARDLY REALIZED. Hi 'ad ?n 'orrible 'eadacbe this hafternoon, hand 1 stepped into the hapothecaries hand says hi to the man. " Can you beasc trie of aa 'eadacbe ?' ' Does it hache 'ard,?' say 'e. " Hexcecdinjrly," says hi. hand upon that "e gave me a Cephalic Pill, hand 'pou me "onor it cured me so quick tbat I 'ardly realized I :ad -ad an ?eadache. q. Headache is the favorite sign by wliich na ture makes known any deviation whatever from the natural state of the brain, and viewed in I hi light it may be looked on as a safeguard iutended to give no tice of disease whi"h might otherwise escape atten tion, till loo late to le remedied ; aud its indications should never be neglected, lleadaohes may be clas sified under t vo names, viz : Symptomatic and Idio pathic. Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly com mon and is the precursor of a gn at variety of aWeas ei, among which arc Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile diseases In its nervous form it is sympa thetic of diseases of the stomich constituting sick headache, of hepatic disease constituting billions head ache, of worms, constipation and other disorders of the bowels", as wel 1 as renal" and uterine affections. Diseases of the heart are very frequently attenucd with headache ; Anaemia plethora are also affections which frequently occosion headache. Idiopathic head ache is also very common, being usually distinguished by the name or nervous lieauacne, fometinies coming on suddenly in a state of apparently soufld health and prostrating at once the mental and physical energies, and in other instances it comes slowly, horaled by de pression of spirits or acerbity ot temper. In most instances the pain is in the front of the bead, over one or both eyes, and sometimes provoking vomiting; un dtr this class mat also be named Neuralgia. For the treatment of either class of hcadiche the Cephalic Bills have beeu found a sure and safe reme dy, relieving the most acute pains in a few minutes, and by its subtle power erdaicating thediseesesof which the headache is the unerring index. BuinrtET. Missus wants you to send her a box of Cephalic Glue, no, a bottle of Prepared Pills but I'm thinking that's not just it naither, but perhaps ye'll be atthcr knowing what it is. Ye see she's nigh dead and gone with the sick headache, and wants some move of that same as relaived her before. Druggist--You must mean Spalding's Cephalic Pills. Bridget. Och! sure now and you've sed it, here's the quurther aiid give me the Pills and dont be all day about it aither. CONSTIPATION OR COST1VEXES3. No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to"' is so prev alent, so little understood, ami so much neglected as Costiveness. Often originating in carehssness, or sedentary habits 5 it is regarded as a slight disord'r of two little consequence to excite .anxi ty, while in reality it is the precursor and companion of many of the most, fatal and dangerous diseases, and unless ear ly eradicated it will bring the sufferer to an untimely grave. Among the lighter evils of which costiveness' is Uie usual attendant are Headache, Colic. Rheuma tism, Foul Breath. Piles, and others of like nature- while a long train ol frightful diseases such as Malig, mint Fevers, Abecsses, Dysentaiy, Diarrhoea, Dys pepsia. Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis. Hysteria, Hy pochondrias. Melancholy and insanity, first indicate their presence in the system by this alarming symptom. Not iinl'requettly the diseases named originate in Constipation, but take ou an independent existence unless the cause is eradicated in an early stage. From all these considerations it follows that the disorder snould receive immediate attention whenever it oc curs, and no person should neglect to get a box of Cephalic Pills on the first appeaiance of the complaint as their timely use will expel the insidious approaches of disco. -e and destroy this dangerous foe to human life. A KEAL. BLESSING. Physician . Well, ache '! Mrs. Jones, how is fhat li-al- Mrs. Jones, Gone!

Call for Cephalic PUN, I und they iievtr fail, and I recommend them iu all cases of Headache. Mrs. Jones. I shall send for a Iwjx directly, ami shall tell all my suff'criing friends, for they are a real blessing. Twextv Millions of Dni.i.uis savjco. Mr. Spald ing has gold two millions of bottles of his celebrated Prepared Glue ami it is estimated that each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth of broKen mrniture, thus making an aggregate of twenty millions of dol lars reclaimed from total loss by this valuable inven tion. Having made his Glue a household word, he now proposes to do the world still greater service by curing all the aching heads with his Cephalic Pills, and if they are as goo4l as his Glue, heailaches will soon vanish away like snow iu July. "5U Pin you ever have flic Sick Ileadacbe ? Do you remember the throbbing temples, the feverel brow, the loathing and disgust at the sight of food. How totally unfit you were tor pleasure, conversation or study. One of the Cephalic Pill would have re lieved you from all Hid suffering which you then ex perienced.
