The Portland daily press., 1865-12-06

We have amazed the world by the suppress
sion of civil war which was thought to be
beyond the control of any government, so
we Shall equally show the superiority Of our
institutions by the prompt and faithful dis
charge of our national obligations.
AGRICULTURE.
Inc Department of Agriculture, under its
present direction, is accomplishing much in
developing and utilizing the vast agricultural
capabilities of the country, and for inforIna-
uon respecting the details OF its management,
| reference IS made to the annual report OF the
Commissioner.
FoREIGN AFFAIRS.
L nave dweit thus fully on our domestic af-
laifs because OF their transcendent import
auce. Chder any circumstances, our great
extent OF territory and variety Of climate, pro-
ducing almost everything that is necessary
Tor the wants, and even the comforts of man,
MAKE US slngularly independent of the vary

ces, Whlle at the present moment the re-es-
taoLlShmeht M harmony, and the strength
Ilat COMES from harmony, viii be our best Sc
curity against "nations who feel power and
forget right" For myself, it has been and will
be my constant aim to promote peace and
amlty with all foreign nations and powers;
ana nave every reason to believe that they
all, without exception, are animated by the
same disposition. Our relations with the EN-
peror OIL emma, SO recent in their origin, are
most friendly. Our commerce with his do
1ninions is receiving new DEVELOPMENTS: and
it is very pleasing to find that the Govern
ment OF that great Empire manifests satisfac
ton with our policy, and reposes lust conf
dence in the fairness which marks orr INFER
course. The unbroken harmony between the
United States and the Emperor of Russia is
receiving new support from an enterprise
designed to carry telegraphic lines across the
continent of Asia, through his dominions and
SO to connect us with all Europe by new
channel of intercourse. Our commerce with
South America is about to receive encourage
ment by direct line OF mail steamships to the
rising Empire OF Brazil The distinguished
party OF men OF science who have recently LEFT
our country to make scientific exploration
of the natural history and rivers and noun
tain ranges of that region, have received from
the Emperor that generous welcome which
was TO have been expected from his constant
friendship for the Uunited States, and his
well-known zeal in promoting the advance
ment Of knowledge. sfoa
hope is entertained that our commerce.
with the rich and populous countries that Dor
der the Mediterranean sea may be largely in
creased. Nothing will be wanting on the part
OF this Government, to extend the protection
OF our flag over the enterprise of our fellow
region assurances of good will; and it is wor-
thy of note that special envoy has brought
US messages of coincidence on the death of our
. late Chief Magistrate from the Bey OF Tunis,
whose rule includes the old dominions of Car
thage, on the African coast. -a '- it
AFFAIRS WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
Our domestic contest, now happily ended,
mas lett some traces in our relations with one
at least or the great maritime Powers. The
