Our army has not faltered in any of the various trials to which it has been subjected, and the great body of the people have continued to manifest a zeal and unanimity which not only cheer the battle stained soldier, but gives assurance to the friende of constitutional liberty of our final triumph iti the pending struggle against despotic usurpation. J The vast army which threatened the capi tal of (he Confederacy hasbern defeated and driven from the lines of investment, and the enemy, repeatedly foiled in his efforts for its capture, is now kecking to raise new armies on a arate auch a modern history does not record to effect that subjugation of the South ontn proclaimed as on the eve ot accora - LiUnmenr - The perfidy which disregarded rights se - 'cured by compact, the madness which tram - nip.

' !The acta passed at your last session in tended to secure the public defence by gen- eral enrollment and to render uniform the rules governing troops in the service, have led to some unexpected criticism that is much to be regretted ; . The efficiency of the law has been thus somewhat impaired, though it is not believed that in any of the States the popular mmd has withheld its sanction from either the ne cessity or propriety of your legislation. It is only by harmonious as welt as zealous ac tion that a government as new as ours, usher ed into existence on the very eve of a great war, ana unproyiuea with the material ne cessary for conducting hostilities on so vast a scale, can fulfil its duties. Upon vou who are fully informed of the acts and purposes tof the government, and thoroughly imbued 1 w,v" u nngs anu uiuenia 01 me peo- ! pie. must rcli-mr-e be placed to secure this ' Creat object.

In connection with this subject, I am of opinion that prudence dictates some pro vision for the increase of the army, in tie event of emergencies not now anticipated. The very large increase of forces recently called into the field by the President of the United State may render it neceasary here after to extend the provision oi the Con script Law so as to embrace persons between the ages of 3 J and 43 years. The vigor and efficiency of our present forces, their condi tion, and the skill and ability which dtstin etiiah their leaders, inspire the belief that no further enrollment will be tiecessary, but trust that you will be able to devise satis- j"cta our Inuni nieacracy.

In the absence of experience, and with no reliable guide for selection, Executive appointments as well as elections have been sometimes unfortu nate. The good of the service, the interests 01 our country, require that some means be jdevised for withdrawing the commission of officers who are incompetent for the duties required. by the position, and I trust that you will find means for relieving the army of such officers by some mode more prompt and less wounding to their sensibility than judgment of a Court Martial. : Within a recent period we have effected the object so long desired of an arrangement for the exchange of prisoners, which is how being executed by delivery at the points agreed upon, and which will.it is hoped, speedily restore our brave and unfortunate countrymen to their places in the ranks of the army, from which, by the fortune of war, they have tor a time been separated. The details of this arrangement will be communicated to you in a special report when further progress has been made in their execution. Of other particulars concerning the ope rations of the War Department, you will be informed by the Secretary in his report and the accompanying documents. The report "of the Secretary of the Navy embraces a statement of the operations and f resent condition of this branch of the pub ic service, both afloat and ashore ; the con duction and equipment of armed vessels at home aud abroad ; the manufacture of ord nance and ordnance stores; the establish ment of workshops and the development of our resources of coal and iron. Some leg islation seems essential for securing crews for vesiels.

The measures taken by the department for relieving these embarrassments, as tar as practicable, are detailed in the report. It is a subject of congratulation, that during the ten months which ended on the Slst March last, the expenses of the department were largely decreased, whilst its revenue was augmented, as compared with a corres ponding period ending on the 50th of June, ISO I, when the postal service for these States vv.m conducted under the authority delegated to tne United States.

The new order re stricting the emigration ot persons liable to draft snd foro dding them to absent them selves from lit county or State to which they belong, lias created an unusual stir anion those who were preparing to thirk military duty. The necessity for this order had become apparent. The rush for pass ports has been astounding; the business of the passport bureau, which, till lately hardly gave employment to a single clerk and an assistant, since the promulgation of the or der fordrafting, has required three additional cterks, and the receipts from the tax on passports average more than three hundred doliars per day. It has been ascertained tVt this sudden increase of passengers f-r Ku rope as occasioned by the skedaddling of persons liatfe to be drafted.
