 Washington. Oct. l6.--The President
 message k brief. The following is synop-
 s.>:
 The ,auSo of the extra session, was the
 failure of the last Congress to make an ap-
 propria,ion for the Regular Army. Since
 the commencement of the fiscal year. the
 Army, although without pay, have been
 constantly. and without pay, actively em-
 plovcd in ariuous and dangerous service, ID fht, performance of which. both officers and
 men have discharged their duty with h'ieh- ~ and courage and without complaint These circumstances, in my judgment, coll
 stitute an extraordinary occasion requiring Congress to be convened in advance ui me time prescribed by law for your meeting ln regular session. The importance Of speedy action upon this subject on the part of Con sr,.ss k so manifest. that venture to sug- gc~t the proprie,y of making the necessary appropr iation> for the support of the Army for the current year at its present maximum numerical strength of 35,000 men, leaving for future consideration all questions rcla- ting to an increase or decrease of number of enlisted men. In the event of reduction of the Army by subsequent legislation du- ring the fiscal year, the excess of appropria- tion could not be beeNpended; and in the event of ilS enlargement, the additional sum re- guired for payment of the extra force could be provided in due time. IL would be unjust to the troops now in the service, and whose pay k already in arrears.
 The former Secretary of the Treasury. at the opening session in December last made estimates which are modified by the pres cnt Secretary, so as to conform to the pres ent rcquircmenta, and are now renewed, amounting to SS2, i36. .76j.
 There Is also required bv the Navy De partncnt s2.Ils,6l9; and there is also needed >jG2. .665 to defay current expenses.

 Washington, Oct. 1.-The report of the . Trearurv Commission to investigate afTaIrs ai San Francisco report, unanimously, that the customs service of that port k intelli- -cRtly and efficiently performed. The reve- nuc k honestly and economically collected. Regarding the amount of bullion. the roining operations are faithfully and eni- 'icntiy conducted They say. however. while his clerks have generally been found 'ompetcnt and efficient, il k believed num- Der of incompetent and inefficient persons have received appointments. The charges made by eN-Smelter and Reiinor Cochrane are not sustained by evidence, and arc un- rue in fact. Good habits and attention To iuty of mint employees seem to have been general rule, and there does not appear any eriouS cause for complaint in respect 10 he payment of employees for services not equally performed.
