any general loss of life. The writer states, how.

THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICA,
DELIVERED AT WASHINGTON,

3RD DEC. 1866.

Fezow. citizens of The Senate and House
of Representatives.:
After a brief interval the Congress OF
the United States resumes its annual leSlS-
lative Iabors. An all-wise and mercltul
Providence hasabated the pestllence which
visited our shores, leaving its caIamltous
traces upon soAle portions of our country.
Peace, order tranquility, and civil autho-
rity have been formally declared to exist
throughout the whole Of the United
States. II all of the States civil authorl-
tv has superseded the coercion of arms,
and the people, by their voluntary action,
are maintaining. their governments III
full activity and complete operation.
The enforcement Of the laws is no longer
Constructed in any State by combinations
too powerful TO be suppressed by the or
binary course of judicial proceedings" and
the animosities %engendered by the war
are rapidly yielding to the beneficent IN
auences Of our free Institutions, and TO
the kindly effects of unrestricted social
and commercial intercourse. An entire
restoration of fraternal feeling must be
the earnest wish of every patriotic heart /;
and we will have accomplished our
grandest national achievement when, for
getting the sad events of the past, and
remembering only their instructive les
sons, we resume our onward career as q
free, prosperous, and united people.
In nv message of the 4th of December,
1866, Congress was informed of the
measures which had been instituted by
the Executive with Il view to the gradual
restoration of the States in which the In
surrection occurred to their relations
with the general government. Provi-
sional governors had been appointed
conventions called, governors elected,
legislatures assembled, and senators and
representatives chosen TO the Congress
of the United States. Courts had been

opened Tor Inc enforcement OF laws long
in allowance. The blockade had been re-
moved, custom-houses re-established, and
the internal revenue laws put in force, in
order that the people might contribute
to the national income. Postal opera
tons had been renewed, and efforts were
being made 10 restore them to their form
er condition of efficiency. The State
themselves had been asked to take part
in the high function of amending the
Constitution, and of thus sanctioning the
extinction of African slavery as Que OF
the Legitimate results of our interneclne
struggle.
Having progressed thus far, the Exc
cutive department found that it had ac-
complished nearly all that was within the
scope Gifts constitutional authority. One
thing, however, yet remained 10 be done
before the work of restoration could be
completed, and that was the admission to
Congress of loyal senators and represent
tativcs from the States whose people
had rebelIed against the lawful authority
Of the general government. This ques-
ton devoIvcd upon the respective houses,
which, by the Constitution, are made the
judges of the elections, returns, and qua
iicalions of their own members; and its
consideration at once engaged the atten-
ton of Congress,
In the mean time the Executive depart
ment-no other plan having been pro-
posed by CongreSS-continued its efforts
to perfect, as lar as was practicable, the
restoration of the proper relations be-
tween the citizens Of the respective
States, the States, and the federal gov
eminent, extending, from time 10 time,
as the public interests seemed TO require,
the judicial, revenue, and postal systems
Of the country. With the advice and
consent of the Senate, the necessary Off
GERS were appointed, and appropriations
made by Congress for the payment of
their salaries. The proposition TO amend
the federal Constitution, so us 10 prevent
the existence of slavery within the Uni
ted States or any place subject TO their
jurisdiction, was ratified by the requisite
number of States and on the 18th day
of December, 1865, it was officially de-
clared to have become valid as a part of
the Constitution Of the United States.
All of the States in which the insurrec-
ton had existed promptly amended their
constitutions, so as to make them con-
form to the great change thus effected in
the organic law of the land declared
null and void all ordinances and laws of
secession; repudiated all pretended debts
and obligations created for the %revolu-
tionary purposes Of the Instruction and
proceeded, in good faith, to the enact
ment of measures for the protection and
amelioration of the condition of the color
ed race. Congress, however, yet heslta-
ted to admit any Of these States to re-
presentation and it was not until tow-
ards the close of the eighth month of the
session that an exception was made in
favor of Tennessee, by the admission Of
her senators and representatives.

Island of Cuba:
DEAR SIn-Sincc your departure a
strange incident has occurred in this city,
something similar in its nature to the
affair that created so much excitement in
Calcutta some months ago. though in this
case the amount at issue is four times
greater than in the other. Having prom
iscd YOU that I would make dligcnt en-
oniry about the ship Bird of the Ocean
and her commander, it luckily so happen
ed that 1 was spared the trouble OF ex-
tending my inquiries beyond this city, by
the arrival of the ship in question at this
port on the Goth of March

notorious, through the agency of her COM

no little attention upon entering Bombay
harbor Her papers were subjected to IL

authorities. but no flaw could be found in
them, she having crcdtable clearance for

cargo consisted of general merchandise,
on consignment TO the house of Lenard Il
Co.. which she commenced discharging on
the second day after entering port
T took advantage of an opportunity of
visiting her on the day subsequent to her
arrival, in company with Captain Parker,
of the ship Sea Gull, Captain Hunt of the
Tyrol, and Col. Ferguson, the last named
gentleman being acquainted with Captain
Tolbert. We were cordially received on
board by that noted individual, of whom
I had heard so much, but never met till
now; and, from his affable manners and
genial conversation, I could scarcely real
ize that the man confronting mo was the
celebrated character whose daring dccds
have oftimes produced such Juror tn, and
excitement in the East Indies. The worry
embodiment of grace and politenoss, ox-
