PRINCIPAL ESTABLISHMENT In

YUNHE CANTON TEA COMPANY has been
IL peculiarly known for many years. This is the
largest and oldest Tea Establishment in America
The public have had full proof of their integrity and
responsibility. But such has been the great and
pressing demand for their TEAS Of late, that they
have been Obliged to enlarge, to great extent taer
two principal establishments in New York, viz:
1875 CHATHAM AND I63 GREENWICH
STREETS.
They moreover possess facilities, ia relation to the
Tea Trade, in very abundant degree, and doubt
less superior to any other Tea Concern in America.
Their scrupulous regard to all principles that tend
to elevate the character Of large house, is we'll
dersiood, aud has already secured them con.iec-
ton, probably. larger than all other Tea Establish,
meD,s united, and they consequently are determined
to sell Teas purer, more fragrant, and perfect Jn
the prices in the aggregate, than any house in the
worll-China excepted.
They most zeaIously invite the attention Of the in
habi,ants Of WASHINGTON. d. g., To ihe,

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE,
To the Senate and House Of Representa-
tires GMe United States;

tires cfMe United States;
In order to prosecute the war with Mexi-
GO with vigor and success,it is necessary
that authority should promptly be given by
Congress to increase the regular army and
to remedy existing defects in its organiza-
ton. With this view your favorable atten-
ton is invited to the annexed report Of the
Secretary of war which accompanied nv
message of the 9Th inst, in which he recon-
mends that ten additional regiments of reg
ular troops should be raised to serve during
the war.
OF the additional regiments of volunteers
which have been called for from several Of
the states, some have been promptly raised
but this has not been the case in regard to
all. The existing law requiring that they
should be organized by the independent ac-
ton of the State Governments has in some
instances occasioned considerable delay
and it is yet uncertain when the troops re-
quired can be ready for service in the
field.
Is our settled policy to maintain in time
Of peace as small a regular army as the ex-
igencies Of the public service will permit.
In astate Of war Notwithstanding the great
advantage with which our volunteer citi-
zen soldiers can be brought into the field
the small regular army must be increased
in its numbers in order to render the whole
force more efficient.
Additional officers, as well as men, then
become indispensable. Under the circum-
stances a peculiar propriety exists for in
creasing the officers, especially in the high
er grades. The number Of such officers
who from age and other circumstances are
rendered incapable # actual service in the
field, has already impaired the efficiency of
the Army.
From the report Of the Secretary of War
itappedrs that about two thirds of the whole
number of regimental Field officers are
either permanently disabled or necessarily
detached from their commands on other du-
ties. The long enjoyment of peace has
prevented us from experiencing much EN-
barrasment from this cause; but now in a
state of war conducted in a foreign country
it has produced serious injury to the pub
lie service,
An efficient organization of the army
composed of regulars and volunteers while
~ OoCIittilS NHC vi NAChIGu3 IL 10 III
cd woald require the appointment ola Gen
eral Officer, to take the command of all our
military forces in the field.
Upon the conclusion of the war the SER
vices of Suc!, all officer would no longer be
necessary, and should be dispensed with up.
on the reduction of the army to a peace es-
tanliShmcut.
recommend that provision be made by
lhw for t'I@ appointment Of such a general
nficcr To serve during the war.
II is respectfully recommended that car
ly action should be had by Congress upon
the suggestions submitted for their consider
alton, as necessary to secure active and
efficient service in prosecuting the wal be-
fore the present favorable season for military
operations in the enemy's country shall have
passed away.
