VOLUNTEERS. From appearances there will
be no difficulty in raising the fifty thousand
volunteers authorized by Congress, should they
be required. In all directions of the Union
offers of service are rendered; but we presume
that there will be no occasion for troops to be
sent from distant parts to the scene of war, as
the States in the more immediate vicinity will
doubtless furnish promptly all that may be re-
qured. 1t is gratifying, however, to see the
patriotic feeling which prevails, and the unan-
unity i'll the resolve to maintain the war man
fully and successfully. So far our army has
acted only on the defensive; but the scene will
be speedily changed, should the Mexican Gov
eminent be so blind to consequences as to con-
tinue the war. Public Indignation once fairly
aroused, and Mexico will witness the entrance
of American troops into her Capitol. The
wisest act that Paredes could do, would be to
ask an armstce, with view to the termiha-
ton of the contest. If this be not done, the
invasion of Mexico will inevitably take place
even if the Mexican General should have sue
ceeded in capturing General Taylor and hi
whole army-of which we have not the slight
est apprehension. 1t is not the interest o
either nation to continue hostilities; but willis
they exist they must be prosecuted vigorously
on our part. We hope that Paroles will a
dept FalstafF's maxim, that prudence is tn,
better part of valor," and send in his flag .
truce as preliminary to a settlement of all diff
culties The money which he may have rails
cd to defray the expenses of the war, would b.
more appropriately applied to the liquidation
of our claims against Mexico, than in prolong
ing fruitess contest with the United States

foreign squadrons an efficient sea steamer,
and as especially demanding attention, the
establishment at Pensacola Of the necessary
means repairing and re6ling the vessels
OF the navy employed in the Gulf of Mexico.
There are other suggestions in the report
which deserves, and, | doubt moi, will re-
ceve your consideration.
The progress and condition of of the mail
service Tor the past year are fully presented
in the report of the Postmaster General.
The revenue for the year ending on the 18Th
lot June last amounted TO $3,4S7, l00,99
which Isl $500 ,6OO,42 45 less than that
ofthe preceding year. The payments ror
department during the same time amounted
TO $4,S4, 200,97 %. OF this sum 1884,
81 81 have been drawn from the treasury.
The disbursements for the year were S236,
434 II less than those the preceding year
While the disbursements have been thus d.
minished, the mail facilities have been en-
larged by new mail routs, of 5,739,
miles, an increase of transportation of ,764,
100, 40 miles, and the establishment of 4lS
new post Offices. For many interesting de-
tails connected with the operations Of this
of the Postmaster General; and his sugges-
lions for improving its revenues are recon-
mended TO your favorable consideration.
lrepeat the opinion expressed in my last
annual message, that the business of this
department should be so regulated that the
revenues derived from ii should be made 10
equal the expenditures; and it is believed
that this may be done by proper notifications
ofthe present laws, without changing the
present rates Of postage.
With full reliance on the wisdom and
patriotism Of your deliberations, it will be
my duty, as it will be my anxious desire, TO
cooperate with you in every constitutional
effort TO promote the welfare and maintain
the honor of our common country.
