GOV. Morgnn,s lIessage.

The message Of the Governor of New York is
long, devoted to State matters, and full of sta
tistics showing the condition Of the great Com
monwealth. His leading recommendations are
The increase Of canal tolls, on the ground
that the revenues are diminished by the present
low rates. The State has lost over 81 100000
by the reductions made in 1858 and 1859 The
completion of the enlargement of the canals to
their full capacity before the opening of naviga-
tion in 1861; and the re-imposition of tolls on
railways composing with the canals, during the
season Of navigation, untilthe canals shall have
been completed. r.Ts

POSTMASTER GENERAL.

As was TO be anticipated, the Report ofPOs
Master General Holt dWells largely upon the
financial embarrassments of the year, attributa-
able TO the failure of the usual appropriations
The amount Of sscertained liabilities not met by
the Department but due to this neglect, is de-
clared TO be S4.296,O 600, while liabilities to the
amount of 81 Ass, 900 have been liquidated.-
The gross revenues of the year were $685.
494 These, added to balance on the books
of the Auditor, and to unemployed sPpropria-
tions, constitute a total of S12, I6s, $50 avail
able resources, against expedituTes amounting
to S1l ,55s, 1s9 for the fiscal year ending june
80, 1889
For the fiscal year terminating on the same
day, 1860, the Post Master General estimates
the sum required to be Sl4, ,S7l SAT; there hav-
ing been already expended under special acts,
Sl67, 0S0 for different branches of the Pacific
Mail service. The resources from the same
period are estimated at SlO,sl6,000, leaving,
with reserve of uncollected Postages, de-
fieieney of S5,536, 1874. The total annual
transportation Of mails on the 30th of June
last, was SO, sos 4O2 miles, costing So, ,46S, ,757
The decrease in the length of routes from 1855
was SCI miles; the routes by rail, steamboat
and coach having been largely increased, and
those by minor facilities curtailed to the extent
Of I6 637 miles The number of Post Offices
is 2S, ,539, an aggregate increase Of 562 for the
year. Postmaster General is pregnant with
projects of reform.
One of his plans eOntemplates the discour
agement of the system ofnewspaper exchanges
by Withdrawing the immunity from postage
heretofore enjoyed by the Press; another the
award Of bids for transportation to parties con
tracing to furnish the utmost celebrity, indie
pendently of the mode of carriage; another
the final abandonment of the Tehuantepe,
Isthmus as a mail route. In regard to the
service between Portland and New Orleans
further legislation is pronounced requisite =
And that clause of the act of June, 1858, which
directs preference to be given in the transpor'
tation of the European mails to an American
steamer, even a. the expense of three days
delay, is recommended for repeal. The docu
ment is extremely long, and heavily freighteC
with facts, figures and suggestions.

sEcRErARY OF THE INTERIOR.

The Report of the Secretary of the Interior
embodies mass of information relative to the
several Bureaus constituting that Department
The General Land Office presents this genera
synopsis of its business:-During the five quar-
tiers ending Sept 80, 1859, ls,6ls, 1873 acres Of
the public lands were disposed of; 4,970,5OO
acres were sold for cash, yielding 50, lO7,476;
36I7 440 acres were located with bounty tand
warrants; l,7I2,O40 were approved to the seVeN
raj States entitled to them under the swamp
grants of March 2, ls49, and Sept. %, 1850;
and 6,3Is, ,2O3 acres certified to States, as tal.
ling to them under the grants for rail road Ppr-
poses The Indian Bureau states that the
the average annual expenditure on Indian ae-
count is So 055, ,27O, and that the funded capital
of the annuities to be paid to the Indians is
S2I ,472, ,423. There are $4,000 Of the Abori-
pines within the limits Federal Union.
The Commissioner Of Pensions has 1855
pensioners on his roll, calling for 81 l034, ,9l5 in
money. The necessary expenses which will
be incurred for the census will require the ap-
preparation of least 81 100000. 1t is believed
both wise and Just to confne purchase and dis.
ribution at the Agricultural Office to such va.
rieties of plants, seeds, cuttings, ETC., as have
not already been introduced into the country.
An appropriation to provide for permanent and
convenient accommodations for the Courts OF
the United Stat es in New York in Borh's

Reports of the Observation-Disclosures.


SECRETARY OF WAR.
The Secretary of War reports that while the
authorized strength of the armv is ls, l65 the
number in July last was only II, ,49S; and ll,OOO
of that number were alone available for service
in the field. Small as it is, tho force has been
required TO man about $50 permanent garnsons'
posts and camps, scattered over an area of three
millions of square miles, and consequently 1t has
been impossible to give ample securely to clu-
zens on our frontiers. In relation to the Indian
depredations on our Southern and Mexican bor-
der, the Secretary hopes to make such alteration
in the disposition of the troops next season as
will prevent any repetition Measures have al
ready been taken to subdue the Camanches and
Kiowas, and give protection to the routes from
| Missouri and Arkansas to New Mexico.
He recommends that provision be made for
retiring disabled and infrm officers. The neces'
sity for enlisting teamsters is urged, as is the
enlistment of frontier citizens for frontier ser
vice, for six months terms, the men to provide
their own horses. He speaks favorably OF the
condition of the military academies, Of the eIPerI
ments in breech.loading guns, and Of the use
of camels for service in the interior. The whole
cost of the Army is put down at Sl3 ,O9S, I2o
72, which he thinks may be considerably re-
duced The condition Cf affairs in Utah IS such
that there is scarcely any necessity for troops
thers, and they will probably soon be Withdrawn
The report concludes with brief account o
John Browns attack on Harper's Ferry.

SECRETARY OF TIE NAVY.

The Report of the Secretary of the Navy en-
ters lragely into the achievements of the Para.
quay Squadron, and into the new and extended
arrangements for suppressing the African Slave
trade. Reference is made to the fact that q
score Of new steam vessels had been added to
the navy since the accession of the present Ad-
ministFation; an augmentation which has called
for corresponding enlargement of the personal
force-officers, pursers and crews. Events at
San Juan and at the mouth of the Pel-ho are
touched upon; and the explorations of Lieut..
Brooke among the Pacific Islands are spoken
of with approval A contract executed with
the Chiriqui Improvement Company by the De-
partment, is represented to be Of great value
It comedies large areas of land on either side OF
the Isthmus, rights of transit, and the Occupa-
ton of the necessary harbors, and the owner
ship of all coal found on the COmpany's Ter
ritories. For this, 100000 are to be paid

ditures of the Department for the fiscal
year were SI4, Cos, ,267, the appropriations Sl4,'
| SOC 354. The estimated expenditures for the
wear ending June 80 1860, were Sl3 500 80;
the appropriation, $40 AGA 709. For the year

she 'ducked down under the water to pluck
the flower which she thought she saw.
They nodded, and raised the empty
feather dress between them. What are
they going to do with it p said to my
self; and she, probably, asked herself the
same question. The answer came too
soon, for I saw them take flight up into
the air with her charmed feather dress.-
Dive thou there ~ they cried. Never
more shalt thou fly in the form Of a magic
swan-neyer more shalt thou behold the
land of Egypt. Dwell thou in the wild
moiass." And they tore her magic dis
guise into n hundred pieces, so that the
feathers whirled round about as if there
wore a fall Of snow, and away flew the two
worthless princesses. "It is shocking :

it was herself who had become an infant
