rrnnsportnrion for our Army.

But little idea can be had by the general
reader of the labor attending the transpOr-
tation Of supplies for an army. A CORES
pondent makes an estimate that allowing
four pounds per day per man, it viii re-
quire 1850 net tons for one weeks sub
sistence for 100000 men. To supply the
eufraut demand of an army of 10000 men
at five pounds each, and accumulate q ten
days supply, will neeessitate the trans
portation Of I, 500 TONS This estimate does
not include the most bulky portion of sup
plies-forage for the animals. A large
part Of this, in the present bare condition
of the country, must also be hauled in
wagons over the same roads by which the
food is transported. This would furnish a
full cargo for four frst-clsss Liverpool
ships each ten days. The forage will keep
in constant employment a feet of 200
schooners Of $50 tons each. To all this let
it be remembered there should be added
the cumbrous pontoon trains, and trans
portation for thousands ofhorses and mules
required for keeping up the working force
Of the army. No estimate is here made for
ammunition and miscellaneous supplies.

There has never been meaner and
more utterly dsspicable act performed,
than was perpetrated at the residence Of
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher on Thanksgiv-
ing night. Mr.. Bescher was at his church,
aiding in making comfortable regiment
from Maine, who had no other place in
which to pass the night. He spent the
evening in administering to their wants,
and on returning to his home on Brooklyn
Heights, found that some dastardly mis-
orosnts had taken advantage of his absence
to besmear his house with a mixture Of
vile substances, which rendered horribly
offensive odor. The house being construct
ed Of brown stone, readily absorbed the
application, SO that it win be impossible to
renovate it. The perpetrators Of such a
oowardly and fendish act deserve to be fed
upon their own preparation until speedy
day shall arrive for their execution.

OTHER MATrERs.
Concerning our Foreign relations the
President says that some Of the maritime
powers 'iunwiseIy and unsuccessfully' rec
cOgnized the insurgents as beligerants,
but this action proved only less injurious
to them than to our own country. The
treaty with Great Britain has been put
into operation with good prospect of
complete success. Proposals for conven-
tons to settle private grievances of indi-
viduals of our own and other lands have
been made to Great Britain, France, Spain
and Prussia, none of which have yet
adopted the suggestion. Our general re-
lations with Foreign countries has been
undisturbed,
The President has favored the Atlantic
Telegraph and the construction of tele-
graph from San Francisco to Asia, by a
line across the Russian Empire.
1t is suggested that The mineral re-
sources of the territories be explored and
reported upon, to show in comprehensive
form their commercial value. The admis-
sion Of new States from the territories is
favored.
The finances of the country receive care
full attention. The public credit has been
fully maintained, but earefal legislation
is necessary to provide the increased rev.
enue required to continue the war and
meet the increased disbursements A
speedy return to specie payment should be
kept in view. Prompt eonvertibility into
coin is the best and surest safeguard
against fluctuations in currency, and it is
extremely doubtful if a circulation of
United States notes can be made perma-
nen1y useful and safely maintained. No
plan, in the opinion of the President
promises SO certain and unobjectiOnable
results as the organization of banking in
stitutiOns under act of Congress, to which
the Government would furnish circulating
notes on the security Of o. s. Bonds.
The reports from the Departments are
hut briefly referred to. A convention with
foreign countries is favored, for the pur-
pose Of simplifying the rates of postage.
A change in the Indian system is suggest
ed. The Department Of Agriculture has
been organized, which promises to be pro-
ductive Of beneficial results. It will soon
be ready to distribute seeds, cuttings, SC.
OF Emancipation, we have spoken at
length above. In respect to disuniOn, the
President quotes from his Inaugural to
show the impossibility of separation.

"Msior General Grant, Governor john

of this, Thomas B. Smith, citizen Of Ten

old terms under the Constitution Of the

election Of members to the Congress Of the
United States particularly, and perhaps

shall be glad for you and each Of you to

SLAVE TRADE TREATY.

The treaty with Great Britain for the
suppression Of the slave trade has been put
into operation with good prospect of com
plete success. 1t is an occasion of special
pleasure to acknowledge that the execu-
ton of it on the part of Her Majesty's gov
ernment has been marked with jealous
respect for the authority of the United
States and the rights Of their moral and
loyal citizens.

abolition of the State dues has been car

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS.

The new commercial treaty between the
United States and the Sultan Of Turkey
has been carried into execution. A COM
merciai and consular treaty has been ne
gotiated, subject to the Senate's consent,
with Liberia, and similar negotiation is
now pending with the Republic Of Hayti.
A considerable improvement Of the ma
tional commerce is expected to result from
these measures.
Our relations with Great Britain, France,
Spain, and Portugal, Russia, Prussia,
Denmark, Sweden, and Austria, the Meth
erlands, Italy, Rome, and the other Europe
an States remain undisturbed. Very IA
vorsble relstions also continue to be main
tained with Turkey, Morocco, China, and
Japan. IE
During the last year there has not only
been no change of our previous relations
with the independent States of our eonti-

AGRICULTURE


To carry out the provisions of the act of
Congress Of the 18th of May last, 1 have
caused the Department Of Agriculture Of
the United States to be organized. The
Commissioner informs me that within the
period Of few months, this department
has established an extensive system of
correspondence and exchanges, both at
home and abroad, which promises to effect
highly beneficial results in the develop
ment Of a correct knowledge of recent i'm
provements in agriculture, in the intro
duction Of new products, and in the col
lection Of the agricultural statistics of the
different States; also, that it will soon be
prepared to distribute largely, seeds, cere-
ais, plants and cuttings, and has already
published and literally diffused much val
liable information in anticipation Of a
more elaborate report which Will in due
time be furnished, embracing some valua-
BILE tests in chemical science now in pro-
gress in the laboratory. The creation Of
this Department was for the more immedi-
ate benefit Of q large class Of our most val
liable citizens, and trust that the liberal
basis upon which it has been organized,
will not only meet your appreciation, but
that it will realize at no distant day all the
fOndest antieipations Of its most sanguine
friends, and become the fruitful source Of
advantage to all our people.

EUEgLAAAQAs
do not state this incsnsiderately. At
the same ratio Of increase which we have
maintained on an average from our first
national census in 1870 uutil that Of 1860,
we should, in 1900, have a population Of
1O5, ,208, AIS, and why may we not continue
that ratio far beyond that period Our
Abundant room, our broad national home
stead is an ample resource. Were our ter
ritory as limited as are the British Isles,
certainly our population could not expand
as stated. Instead Of receiving the foreign
born as now, we should be compelled to
send part Of the native born away but
such is not our condition We have 3
963, 900 square miles. Europe has q, ,sOO,-
900, with a population averaging 70 l-3
persons to the square mile.
Why may not our country, at some time,
average as many2 Isit less fertile Has
it more waste surface by mountains, riv-
ers, lakes, deserts and other causes2 Is it
inferior to Europe in any natural advan-
tage7 If, then, we are at some time to be
as populous as Europe, how soon2 As to
when this may be, we may judge from the
past and the present As to whether it
viii ever be, depends much on whether we
maintain the Union. Several Of our States
are above the average Of European popula-
ton af 731 to the square mile. Massachu-
sets has l5T; Rhode Island, 1873; New
York and New Jersey, each, 80; also two
other great States-Pennsylvania and Ohio
are not far below, the former having 63
and the latter SO. The States already
above the European average, except New
York, have increased in as rapid ratio
since passing that point as ever before,
while no one Of them is equal to some 9TH
er parts Of our country in natural capacity
for sustaining dense population.
Taking the, nation in the aggregate, we
find its population and ratio Of increase
for the several decimal periods to be as
follows: 1870, S,e29, ,s27; 1900, 5,S05, ,937.
