knoW tnat theSe means arc altogether ade quate for the object
 The Exchequer, if adopted, will greatly aid in bringing about this result. Upon what regard as a well-founded suppoS Sition that its bills would be readily sought for by the public creditors, and that the issue would m short time reach the maximum of $l5,- 100000, it is obvious that $lOO0O, GOO would thereby be Pdded to the available means of the treasury without cost or charge. Nor can fail to urge the great and beneficial ef- fleets which would be produced in aid of all the active pursuits of life. Its effects upon the solvent State banks, while it would force into liquidation those of an opposite charac- ter through its weekly settlements, would be highly beneficial and with the advantages of souGd currency, the restoration of conti- dence, and credit would follow, ith nu- merous train of blessings. My convictions are most strong, that these benefits would How from the adoption of this measure; but if the result should be adverse, there is this security in connection with it, that the law creating it may be repealed at the pleasure of the Legislature, without the slightest im- plication of it's good faith.
 recomend to Congress to take into consi- iteration the propriety of reimbursiDg a fine imposed on Gen. Jackson at New Orleans, at the time of the attack and defence of that city, and paid by him. Without designing any reflection on the judicial tribunal which imposed the fine, the remission at this day may be regarded as not unjust or inexpedi- cut. The voice of the civil authority was heard amidst the glitter of arms, and obey ed by those who held the sword, thereby gi- wing additional luster 10 memorable milita- ry achievement. If the laws were offended, their majesty was fully vindicated; and al- though the penalty incurred and paid, is worthy of little regard in pecuniary point view, it can hardly be doubted that it would be gratifying to the war-worn veteran now in retirement and in the winter of his days, to be relieved from the circumstances in which that judgment placed hinl. There are cases in which public functionsries may be called on to weigh the public interest against their own personal hazards, and lf the civil law be violated from praiseworthy motives, or an everything sense of public danger and public necessity, punishment may we'll be restrained within that limit which asserts and maintains the authority of the law, and the subjection of the military to the civil power The defence of New Or leans, while it saved city from the hands of the enemy, placed the name of Gen. Jack son among those of the greatest Captains of the age, and illustrated one of the brightest pages of our history. Now that the causes of excitement, existing at the time, have ceased to operate, it is believed that the re. mission of this fine, and whatever of gratifi-, ton that remission might cause the eminent man who incurred and paid it, would be in accordance with the general feeling and wishes of the American People.
 have thus, fellow. citizens, acquitted my self of my duty under the Constitution, by laying before you, as succinctly as have been able, the state of the Union, and by in- Viting your attention to measures of much im- portance to the country. The Executive will most zealously unite it's efforts with those of the Legislative Department in the accomplishment of all that is required to re- lieve the wants of common constituency,

 The proceedings of Congress since it's com meneement have been of little ntorest-so much so and our pressure for room to insert them-we are necessarily compelled to refer them Jill next week.
 Tolera5ly Fair.-The Postmaster General has recently written letter stating that the writing of any thing upon the margin of newspaper other than the name of tn person to whom it is sent subjects it to letter post age. Also that any hieroglyphics come un- der the same head.
 'The many ingenious devices to evade the penalty of this law says the Postmaster General, may be inferred from the fact in q single case, which was brought to my mo- tice. A man had been in the habit of wri- ting on the margin of an old paper to his fa. ther to save letter postage. When arrested by the application of the provisions of the act of 1895 he adopted a species of singular hieroglyphics. His object was to let his fa- ther know his familywere well, and would be up in a few days; so he sent newspaper with nothing. but his name written on it- He had penciled on the margin fac simile of a saddler's awl pointing towards the repre- sentation of well with sweep and bucket going up, thus distinctly conveying the mes- Sage to his father that al his family were ,geH, and were coming up to see him.
 a A TEMPERANCE WEDDrNG.-The Boston ssranscript of Friday says: "There was Bedding in the Hall of the Washingtonians, 1 Cour: street, last evening. The spacious All was crowded almost to suffocation. at n early hour, with lady and gentlemen tee 1tallars who assembled to witness the cere- iSonies. After the arrival of the Rev. Mir. fSeale. and the happy couple a teetotal MT. Neale then, after a few appropriate re- marks, performed the solemn ceremony, and soffered a prayer after which the bridegroom made short speech, in which he expressed a hope that he might keep the pledge of con- jugal love as faithfully as he had that of to- tai abstinence from all intoxicating drinks. The President of the Society then presented to the bride and bridegroom glass of pure cold water. desiring that they would both partake of it, as henceforth, they were to drink of the cup of joy and sorrow together. skosa <~fEa H. ...
