MEssRs. ROGERS & CALHOUN.

We respectfully invite the attention of ou
readers to the advertisement of Messrs Rog-
ers d Calhoun. who are engaged extensively
IN the Tanning business for the Government
and public, at Giberts Mills, in this District.
Their terms. we consider, liberal and accomm o
dating to customers. We are justified in cay
ing that this firm has one of the most thorough
and efficient Tanners in our whole country EN-
Ployed in their yard. For proof Of the asser-
tion we invite all who are interested in leather
to call at Capt. Venabls's office, in this place,
where samples of his tanning aud workman
ship can be secn-in our judgement there is no
better leather put up, even in Abrams Domin
ions the boastcd gcniusss Of the North American
Continent.

dent recommends to the consideration OF
Congress the report of the Secretary Of the
treasury, and hopes that the subject of cur
finances will engross the attention of that
body until it shall be disposed of in tho
manner best adapted to attain the impor-
tant results which the country anticipates
from its action.
TIE ARMr-How TO FILL. THE RANKS,
The President believes tho army to be
in all respects in better condition than at
any previous period of the war. He re-
commends the restoration to the army of
all who are now improperly absent, putting
an end to substitution, modifying the OK
emption law, restricting details, aud placing
In the ranks all able-bodied men now cn.
ployed as wasoners, nurses, cooks and
other employees doing service for which
negroes may be found competent. lie
cencurs IN the opinion expressed by the
SECRETARY Of War, that there is no ground
for the objection that a new provision, to
include those who furnished substitutes un-
der the former call. would be breach OF
contract on the part Of the Government.
POSTAL AFFAIRS.
The action of the several Executive De-
partments is reviewed, and the gratifying
announcement made that the receipts Of
the Postefice Department are six hundred
and seventyfiv thousand dollars in ex-
cess Of the expenditures. Communication
with the Trans Mississippi region ,s so oh.
structed as to render difficult compliance
with the Executive need. Legislation, he
adds, is required providing for the exerc SO
Of temporary authority, especially in the
Postal and Treasury Departments. for which
SubLSecretaries are recommended; while
for military affairs, it would seem to be
sufficient to authorize the President and the
Secretary OF War to delegate to the Com
manding Generals, so much of the dis
cretionary power vested in them, by law,
as the exigencies Of the service shall re-
quire.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, the President adverts to
the savage ferocity of the enemy in con-
Quoting the war, and holds up to public
execration the refusal of the Lincoln Gov
ernment to execute the cartel for the ex-
change of prisoners but the patriotism of
the people had proved equal to every sacri-
fee demanded by their country's need,
and God had blessed us with success g.
proportionate to our means, and, under His
divine favor, our. labors must at last be
crowned with success.
THE DOING OF CONGRESS.
The reading of the Message was listened
to with profound attention in both Houses.
Two bills were introduced in the Senate:
one 10 provide for the meeting of the next
I Congress on the fourth Monday in February
next; tue other for issuing rstions to army
officers.
in the House that part of the Message
relating to Finances and the R,.port of the
Secretary of the Treasury was referred TO
a joint special committee of both Houses,
to consist of nine members on the part Of
the House.

the end of their term, the three years.
mon, is exciting considerable attention in
Congress. The Secretary of War has
already announced that they scannot be
discharged. Some mombers are in favor
OF discharging, but leave them liable to
consumption; Others are in favor OF rsor-
ganlz'nS, with the privilege of electing
their officers. An important petition was
presented to the House, from the First
Battalion Artillery, ofAlabama, who had
volunteered for three years for State de-
fence, before the Confederate Government
was formed, but were afterwards turned
over to the Provisional army. Since then
they have not been allowed to choose Off.
GERS, but outsiders have BEEN appointed to
command them, who treated them cruelty,
and denied them privileges usually en-
joyed by soldiers. If they had foreseen
the treatment, not one of them would have
volunteered. They were dissatisfied, and
looked anxiously for the time Of discharge.
Not single man wished to withdraw
from the service SO long as needed They
were the first to volunteer, aud would be
the last that refused to servo; men of
spirit and intelligence we're in the future

"A resolution was adopted, calling on the
