I Our relations with the Indians generally con lifiUe to bo friendly. A portion of the Cherokee jpeopla have assumed an attitude hostile to the .Confederate Government; but it is gratifying to jbe able to state that tne mass of intelligence and jwdrth in that nation have remained true arid loyal jto their treaty eagagements. With this excap tiotvthoro have been no important instances of faisaffijction among any of the friendly nations and tribes. Disatisfaction recently manifested itself limong certain portions of tbem ; but this resulted Irojm a misapprehension of the intentions of the pojvornment in their behalf. This has been re sno vdd and no further difficulty is anticipated. The Report of tho Secretary of the Navy hore jwitu transhntted exhibits the progress mado in th(s brancn of the public sorvice since your ad journment, as well as its present condition. The (details ombracod in it are of such a nature as to ireador it, a my opinion, incompatible with the public interests that they should be published with Ihs message. I, therefore, confino myself to in viting your attention to the information thoroin cohtaioed. 4 The report of the Postmaster- General shows jthat during the first postal year under our.Gov jornment, terminating on tho 30th' of June last, jour revenues wero in excess of thoso received by It he former government in its last postal year, (wliile thasxponsea were greatlv decreased. There is still, however, a considerable doficit in the rev enues of the Department as compared with its ex penses, and although the grants . already made rfrjm the gonoral Troasilry will suffice to cover till: liabilities to tho closo of the fiscal year, ending ibnj tho 30th June next, I recommend some legis lation, if any can be constitutionally devised, tor aiding the revenues of that Dapartment during the eniuing Oscal y9ar, in order to avoid too great a production of postal facilities. Your attention is ialo invited to numerous other improvements in thje sorvico recommended in tho report, and for ,whoh'lgT3lattn ia required. .

Tie fate of the Confederacy under 'the blessing of Di vhfte Providence depends upon the harmony, energy aid unity of the States.. It especially devolves on ydu,: their representatives, as far as practicable, to re form abuses, to correct errors, to cultivate fraternity antl.to sustain in the people a just confidence in the Uovernment of their choice.' To that confidence and t& the unity and self-sacrificing patriotism'' hitherto displayed is duo the success which has marked the unequal contest, and has brought our country into a condition at tbe prosent time sucb as tho most san tfuine would not have ven red to predict at the com mence.mont of our struggle. Our armies are larger, better disciplined nd more thoroughly armed and equipped than at any previous period ofthe war, Ihej energies of a whole nation, devotod to the single object of success in this war, have accomplished marvels, and many of oar trials have, by abenificent providence, been converted into blessings. The maeoitude of the perils which we encountered have developed the true qualities and illustrated the heroic character of our people, tnus gaining tor the Con federacy from its birth a just appreciation from the other nations of the earth. The injuries resulting from the interruption of foreign commerce have re eeived compensation by tho development of our in tor pa1 resources. Cannn crown oar fortresses taat j wefe cast from the products of mines opened and fur puces built during the war. Our mountain, eaves yield much of the nitre for the manufacture of powder and promise increase of product. From 'our own armories and workshops we derive, in a great meas ure, the warlike material, the ordnanceand ordnance Stores which ere exponded so profusely in the numer ItTut and desperate engagements that rapidly succeed eneh other. Cotton aad woollen fabrics, shoes and harness, wagons and gun carriages are produced in daly increasing quantities by the factories spring ing into existence. Our fields, no longer whitened ;by, cotton that cannot'be exported, are devoted to (be production of cereals and the growth of stock formerly purchased with the proceeds of cotton. In the homes of, our noble' and devoted wodmb, without whose sublime sacrifices our "success would have been iajpossible, the noise of the loom and of the spinning wheel mar be heard throughout the land. With ihearts swelling with gratitude, let us, then, join ia re 'turning thanks to Ood and in beseeching the. con tinuance of hisproetcting. care over our cause and jtu restoration of peace witn iu m ami old biassings to our beloved country.
