Somewhat perhaps One-ffth, longer than last
years message. In addition to the two cop
pies to be sent to Congress, five will be made
in manifold for the use of city press and for
telegraphing.
lnresponce to question asked by the writ :
er OF this dispatch, the President remarked
that he had no objection to saying that the
message would not show change of policy
on his part, as his endeavor was now, as it
had been in the past, to perform his entiie q
duty 10 the extent Of his ability, and in such
manner as should best serve the interests of
the country He is not certain that he
would recommend to Congress an extension
of amnesty to the two or three hundred per.
sons, excluded BY recent legislation, but II
he should it would be with proposed cOndi-
ti0n that the Denificiaries merely take an oath
to support the constitution Of the United

the religious press in the treatment bestowed

efficacy Of public prayers for the sick, beg
leave to add few words to the effect that the
real difficulty in this matter will be with Tyndall
and not with The church.
II 20 humble person as myself could hope
to be accepted, not as speaking by authority but
as ready TO facilitate inquiry, would cheerfullv
risk the little nttainments may possess, after a
third ola century spent ia the study Of medicine
and religion, upon the result Of any well con-
ductei test Of the kind named.
