The proposed overland telegraph between America and Kurope.by the way nf Behiriug's Strait's and Asiastic Russia, which was panc- ioucd by Congress at tbe lust session, has been undertaken under very favorable eirctinr-etances, by ton associntion of American citi zens, with tbe cordiul good will and suppor', as well of this Government us or those of (Jwut Britain mikI Russia. Assurances hate beeD received from most of the South Ameri can States of their high appiwiatinn of thn enterprise, snd their ref diness to co-operate in cofistrncting lines tributary to that world en circling communication.

Thus it is honed that with the return of domestic pence, tbe country will 1o able to resume, with ener-1 gy and advantage, her former high career of commerce und civilization.

Disloyal emissaries have been neither less assiduous nor more successful, during lb) last yeur than they were before that time, in their efforts, under lavor of that privilege, to embroil our country iu foreign wars. The desim and thedatorininatiouof the maritime States to defeat :bat design, are believed to be sincere. Nevertheless, unforeseen political difficulties have arisen, and especially in Brazilian and British ports aud on the northern bouudary of the United States, which., have required and are likely to continue to require; the' practice of constant vigilauce and a just and conciliatory spirit on the part of tho United States, as well us of tho nations coucorued and their government. ' ! Commissioners have been appointed under the treaty with Great Britain,, on the adjust ineut of tbe claims of tho, JJudsoiv Bay' aud Ifuget's bound Agricultural Coinpnuies in Oregou, and nro now proceeding to the execution of tbe trust assigned to them. , Iu view of the insecurity of life iu tbe region adjacent to the Canadian border, by recent assaults and depredations, committed by inimical and despprato persons ' who are haroored there, it has beeu thought proper to give notice that, alter the expiration of six months, tho previous conditionally stimululod time, in the existing relations with. Groat liritaiu, the 1 United States must hold themselves ut liberty to increase their iiavul imminent upon the lakes, if they should find that prureeilin necessary. Tbe condition of the border will necessarily come, into consideration in connection with the question ol'coiitinuiiig or modifying (he rights of travel from Cainda through tho United States, as well as the regulation of imports which were temporarily established hy ihe reciprocity treaty of the fifth of June, IH.'ii 1 desire, however, to be understood, whilo makiug this statement, that trio ooloinal au thorities ore not deemed to be intoutioually unjust or i unfriendly., towards the Uuited States but on the coutrary there ia every rea son to expect that witU the approval of thi imperial Government, tliey will laKO me nec essary measures to , prevent new mcursious across the border. Tbe act pussed ut the last session for tha encouragemeut of emigration bus, hs fai aswai possible, oeeu put into operation, i mourns to need tn amendment which wiil enable the officers of tbe government to prevent th? practice of frauds against the immigrants wnile on tbejr way, and on their arrival in our ports, so as to secure them here ajieo choice oi uvocu- tions and places of settlement.

The first exhibits a satisfactory condition and couduct of the operations of tbo treasury. The national hanking system is proving to benc-cr-ptnble to oupitalists aiid to the people. On th .2.rith of NoTontber, 884 national banks bad beeu orgauized, a considerable number of which were conversions from State banks. Cliungos from the State system to the national system are rapidly taking place, and it is hoped that very soon thero will be in tbe Uuited States po hank of issue uot authorized by Congress, and no bank' note circulation not secured by the Government. That the Government and the people will derive general benefit from this change in the banking systems of tbo country can hardly be questioned. The national system will create a reliable and permanent Influence in support of the nntionul credit, and protect the people against losses in the oso of paper money. Whether or uot any further legislation is advisable for the suppression of State bank issues, it will bo for Congress to determine. It seems quite clear that the Treasury cannot be satisfactorily conducted, unless tbe Government can exercise a restraining power over the bank note cirenlajinu of tbe country. : The report of the Secretary of War. and the ncenmnanviiiz documents, will detuit t ie campaigns o the armies iu the field since the data ol tbe Inst annual message, uud also tho nnnrutioiis of tlm several tilininistriitive bit reans of the War Department during the last year. It will also specify the measures deemed essential for the national defense and to keep up. and supply tha required military force. r Tbo report of the Secretary of the Navy presents n comprehensive und satisfactory exhibit of the alfuirs of that Department and of the nuval service, . It ia a subject of cou-grutulation and laudable prido to our countrymen that a navy of fuch vast proportions has been organized in so brief n period mid conducted with so much efficiency and sue cess. Tbe general exhibit of the navy, including vessels nnder const! uction, nn tbe first of December, 1861, shows a total of 671 vessels, earn ing 4,610 guns and 510,396 tons, heinjf an actual increase during the yenr, over nutl above all losses by shipwreck or in buttle, of 83 vessels. 167 uns aud 42,427 tons. The total number of men at this time in the naval service, including officers, is about 51,000. There have been captured by the navy d.irivg tho year, 324 vessels, aud the whole number of naval-captures sinco hostilities commenced is l,3d0, or which 267 ..nro steamers. 'Ihe gross proceeds arising from tbe s ;lo of condemned prize property thus far reported, amonnt to $14,396,251 51. : A large amount of and) proceeds is still under adjudication und jet to be reported. , , I ho total expenditures of thn Navy Department of Svery description,, including the cost of thn immense sqiiadroim that have been called into oxistenuu from tho 4th of Murch, 1861, to tbo 1st of November, 1864, uud $238,G47,2G2 35. Your favorable consideration is invited to tha various recommendations of Secretary of tho Navy, and especially in regard to a Navy Yard, aud ft suitable establishment for the" construction und repair of iron vessels and tbo machinery and armature for our ships, to which reference was made in mv last nnuual message. Your tittcntion is also invited to tha views expressed in the re.: port, in relatiou to the leisislatiou ol Congress, at its last session, in rusnect to prices ou our inland water. 1 cordially concur In tho recommendation of the Secretary as to the pro priety of creating tho new rank ofVice-Admiral in our naval service. - . Your attention is invited tr the report of tho Postmaster-General, for ft detailed account of tin? operations und financial condition of the Post Office Depaitmnnt. The postal revenue for the year eiiiiinir June 30th, 1864, 1'mouiit- ed tn $12,438,252 7-, ond the expenditures to 812,044786 20, tlie excess or Cp nilitures oyer receipts being 8206,652 42. The views presented by tho Postmaster-General on the siibiuct of special crants by tbo Government id uiil of tbo establishment of new lines of oteuu mail steamships, and of tbe policy he recommends for the devlopincnt of increar-ed c. mmercial intercourse with adjacent independent neighboring countries, should receive tho careful consideration of Congress. I It is of uotewortby interest that the steady expansion of population, improvement nud rrovernmental institutions over the new and uuoccupied portions of our country have soarccly beeu checked, much less impeded or destroyed by our great civil war which, at first glance, would seom to have absorbed al- niOBt tho eutii-e energies oi me nuuuu, The organization and admission of the 8aW of Nevada has been completed in conformity with law ; ami thus our excellent sys-tein is firmly established in the mountains, which once seemed a barren and nninhabita-blo waste betweeu the Atlantic States and those which have grqwq up on tho coast of tho Pacific ocean. Tho tirritorios of Iho United States are generally in, ft condition of prosperity uud rapid growth, Idaho nnd alimtatio, by reason of their great distance und the inti rrnption of 'communication with thfm by Indian, hostilities.. Iiavo been only la organized, but it is understood that tluu difficulties ure.nbout to disappear, which will' permit their governments,' like those of others, to go into speedy ' nnd full operation. As intimately connected witlvriid promotive of this material growth of the nation, I nok the attention of Congress-to the valuable information and important recommendations relating to the public lands, Indian affairs, the Pacific railroads, and mineral discevoriea, contained in the report of tho Secretary of the Interior, which is herewith transmitted, and which report also embraces tha subjects of patents, pensions and other topic of public interest pertaining to his department The quantity of public land disposed of during the five quarters, ending ou the 30th of September last, was 4,221,342 acres, of which 1.538 61 1 acres were entered ondof the Hompsteud law.

'.Much, yet remains to bo done to provide for the proper government of the Indians in other 'parts of the country, to render It sccuri for tbe advtncing settler, aud to provide for the - welfare of the ludiuus. Tbe Secretary reiterates his recommendations and to tbim the attention of Congress is invited. ' i The liberal provisions to invalid, soldiers , iiiid sailors of the republic, and to tbo widows, orphans and dependent mothers of those who have fallen in battle or tlied of diseases contracted, or of wouuds received, iu the service of their country, havo been diligently administered. There have been added to the pen sion rolls duriug the year eiidins tbe 30th day of June last! tho'iinuies of 16,770 invalid soldiers, and of 271 disabled seamen, making the present uuinber oranny invalid pensioners 22,-767, of navy invalid pensioners 712. Of wid-cws, orphans nud mothers, 22,198 have been placed nn the army pension rolls and 248 on tbe uttvy rolls. The present number of army pensioners of this class is 25,433 nnd of nuvy pensioners 793. At the begiuningof the year the uuinber or revolutionary pensioners was 143. Only thirteen of them were soldiers, of wbom have siuce died. The remainder aro tboso who umler the law receive peusious because of relationship to revolutionary soldiers. Dnrin" the year ending the SOlh of Juue, 1864, S4.504.616 92 have been paid to pensioners of all classes. I cheerfully ct inmend to your continued patronage the benevolent institntinns of the District'of Columbia, which have hitherto been established or fostered by Congress and resnoctfally refer, for inforniulion concerning thc'ui, and iu relation to the Washington Aqueduct, the Cnpitol, and other matters or local interest, to the repcrt of tha city The Agricultural Department, under the supervision of its present energetic and faith fill bead, is rapidly coinmendiug itself to the great and vital iuterest it was created to advance. It is peculiarly the people's department, in which they feel .more directly con-ceru -il than in nny other. 1 commend it to the continued utteutiou und fostering cure of Congress . ' Tlie war continues. Since the last animal Messai'e all the important lines and posi ions theu occupied by wr forces have beeu maintained, and onr armies have steadily atlvat'ced, thus lilieruting Ihe regions left in the rear 80 that Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and parts ol other States, have uguin produced reasnu-ably fair crops. Tho most remarkable fea-1 tare in the military operation'or tbe year is Geu. Sherman's attempted murch of 300 miles directly through the insurgent region. Tt tends to show a grent inerensH of our relative strength, tlmt our Gwneral-iiuChief should leiil able to hold in cw'ck ei-mj ucu.u of the enemy, and yet to detach a well sup ported large army to move on mici u y-dition. : The result pot yut being known, con jecture in regard to it is nqt nere mtiuigeu. Iinuoitint .movement nau au wv...n. .i,.,i thn veur. to. the eflVt of moulding so ciety lor du: ability iu the Union. Although short of complete success, it is so much iu the right direction that twelve thousand citizens in each of the States of Arkausas and Louisiana have orgunized loyal State Governments with free Constitutions, and ure earnestly struggling to maintain nnd administer them. Tho movement in tho sums direction, more extensive though less- definite, in Missouri, 1C mtucky and Tennessee, should not be overlooked. Hut Maryland presents the ex-umple of complete success. Maryland is seem e tn liberty and union for all tho'futnre. The genius t 'f rebellion will no more cluim Maryland. Like another foul spirit, being driven cut, it may scok to tear her, but it will woo her no more. ' At thela-t session of Congre-s a propo eJ amendment of the Constitution abolishing slavery throughout tho Uuited States passed the Senate, hut fuilei for lack of the reqiii; site two thirds vote iu tbe House of Repre-Bentatites. Although tho prrsent is tho same trlv the same members, with out questioning tbe wisdom or patriotism of tlms wnri stoud ill opposition, 1 venture to recommend tbe reconsideration aud passage of the measure at the present sessiou. wi the ahstmct nuestiiio is nutchunged; but au intervening election shows almost certainly that the next Congress will pass the measure, if this does not Hence there is only a question of timo ns to, when the proposed amendment wi.l go to tan States for their an-tinn A ml us it is to so no at all events, may ..... ,,nt mrrvB that the sooner lue Dctier. ii is not claimed that the election has imposed a duty on Members to change their views, or th-ir votes, unv further than, us an additional oh.menf tn bo considered, their.jndgin'ut may be affected hy it.

The number in organized Territories is treplo now what ' It was four years ago; while thoqsauds, white and black, join us as tbe national arms presn., back tho insurgent lines. ' So much issbnwn sffirniutively nnd negatively, by the election., It is net material to inquire hoj the increas) has beeu produced, or show that it would have' 1 been greater, but for the war, which is proba. V. bly true. Tbe important fuot remains de-, r-inonstrutnd, that we have more men now thut( ' we bad when tho war began; that we are not exhausted, por in procfis of exhaustion;' that ' we are gaining strenib, aud may, if need be, u maintain t'ie coutnst indefinitely. This , , strength, as to men, material and resources, is . uow more complete aud abundant than ever. ' Tbe national resources, then, nrs unexhausted, uud as we believe inexhaustible. 1 Tbe publiu ! purpose to re-establish aud maiutain tbe na- ; t tional authority is unchanged; and as we be- , liuve, unchangeable. Tbe manner of coutio-ing tho effort remains to choose. ' On careful consideration of all the evidence accessible, it seems to me, that no attempt at , . , negotiation with tbo insargeut leader, could 4 result in any good. ' He would accept of nothing short of tho severance of the Union. His declarations to that effect are explicit and ' nl't repeated. He dos not attempt to deceive . I us. He affords us no excuse to decei ve onr- , -? selves; we cannot voluntarily yield it., Re-tween him and us tho issue is distinct, simple and iullexible. It is nn isBtie which can ' i only be tried by war, aud deeided by victory. , If wo yield, we are beaten. If tbe South , em peoplo fail him, he is beaten. Kither way it would be tho victory and defeat following war. What is true, however, of him who 1 i heads the iusurgent cause, is uot necessarily , i true ftl those who follow. Although he cau- ,i , not vc-accept the Union, they cun. ' Some of them we know already desire pence aud re-' onion..' The uumber of such may' increase. They can at auy moment have peace, simply by laviu" down their arms und submiltiug to the natioual nuinority ouuer uto nuiwuuuuu. .

Disloyal emissaries have been neither less assiduous nor more successful, during lb) last yeur than they were before that time, in their efforts, under lavor of that privilege, to embroil our country iu foreign wars. The desim and thedatorininatiouof the maritime States to defeat :bat design, are believed to be sincere. Nevertheless, unforeseen political difficulties have arisen, and especially in Brazilian and British ports aud on the northern bouudary of the United States, which., have required and are likely to continue to require; the' practice of constant vigilauce and a just and conciliatory spirit on the part of tho United States, as well us of tho nations coucorued and their government.

The first exhibits a satisfactory condition and couduct of the operations of tbo treasury. The national hanking system is proving to benc-cr-ptnble to oupitalists aiid to the people. On th .2.rith of NoTontber, 884 national banks bad beeu orgauized, a considerable number of which were conversions from State banks. Cliungos from the State system to the national system are rapidly taking place, and it is hoped that very soon thero will be in tbe Uuited States po hank of issue uot authorized by Congress, and no bank' note circulation not secured by the Government. That the Government and the people will derive general benefit from this change in the banking systems of tbo country can hardly be questioned. The national system will create a reliable and permanent Influence in support of the nntionul credit, and protect the people against losses in the oso of paper money. Whether or uot any further legislation is advisable for the suppression of State bank issues, it will bo for Congress to determine. It seems quite clear that the Treasury cannot be satisfactorily conducted, unless tbe Government can exercise a restraining power over the bank note cirenlajinu of tbe country. : The report of the Secretary of War. and the ncenmnanviiiz documents, will detuit t ie campaigns o the armies iu the field since the data ol tbe Inst annual message, uud also tho nnnrutioiis of tlm several tilininistriitive bit reans of the War Department during the last year. It will also specify the measures deemed essential for the national defense and to keep up. and supply tha required military force. r Tbo report of the Secretary of the Navy presents n comprehensive und satisfactory exhibit of the alfuirs of that Department and of the nuval service, . It ia a subject of cou-grutulation and laudable prido to our countrymen that a navy of fuch vast proportions has been organized in so brief n period mid conducted with so much efficiency and sue cess. Tbe general exhibit of the navy, including vessels nnder const! uction, nn tbe first of December, 1861, shows a total of 671 vessels, earn ing 4,610 guns and 510,396 tons, heinjf an actual increase during the yenr, over nutl above all losses by shipwreck or in buttle, of 83 vessels. 167 uns aud 42,427 tons. The total number of men at this time in the naval service, including officers, is about 51,000. There have been captured by the navy d.irivg tho year, 324 vessels, aud the whole number of naval-captures sinco hostilities commenced is l,3d0, or which 267 ..nro steamers.

Your favorable consideration is invited to tha various recommendations of Secretary of tho Navy, and especially in regard to a Navy Yard, aud ft suitable establishment for the" construction und repair of iron vessels and tbo machinery and armature for our ships, to which reference was made in mv last nnuual message. Your tittcntion is also invited to tha views expressed in the re.: port, in relatiou to the leisislatiou ol Congress, at its last session, in rusnect to prices ou our inland water. 1 cordially concur In tho recommendation of the Secretary as to the pro priety of creating tho new rank ofVice-Admiral in our naval service. - . Your attention is invited tr the report of tho Postmaster-General, for ft detailed account of tin? operations und financial condition of the Post Office Depaitmnnt. The postal revenue for the year eiiiiinir June 30th, 1864, 1'mouiit- ed tn $12,438,252 7-, ond the expenditures to 812,044786 20, tlie excess or Cp nilitures oyer receipts being 8206,652 42. The views presented by tho Postmaster-General on the siibiuct of special crants by tbo Government id uiil of tbo establishment of new lines of oteuu mail steamships, and of tbe policy he recommends for the devlopincnt of increar-ed c. mmercial intercourse with adjacent independent neighboring countries, should receive tho careful consideration of Congress. I It is of uotewortby interest that the steady expansion of population, improvement nud rrovernmental institutions over the new and uuoccupied portions of our country have soarccly beeu checked, much less impeded or destroyed by our great civil war which, at first glance, would seom to have absorbed al- niOBt tho eutii-e energies oi me nuuuu, The organization and admission of the 8aW of Nevada has been completed in conformity with law ; ami thus our excellent sys-tein is firmly established in the mountains, which once seemed a barren and nninhabita-blo waste betweeu the Atlantic States and those which have grqwq up on tho coast of tho Pacific ocean. Tho tirritorios of Iho United States are generally in, ft condition of prosperity uud rapid growth, Idaho nnd alimtatio, by reason of their great distance und the inti rrnption of 'communication with thfm by Indian, hostilities.. Iiavo been only la organized, but it is understood that tluu difficulties ure.nbout to disappear, which will' permit their governments,' like those of others, to go into speedy ' nnd full operation. As intimately connected witlvriid promotive of this material growth of the nation, I nok the attention of Congress-to the valuable information and important recommendations relating to the public lands, Indian affairs, the Pacific railroads, and mineral discevoriea, contained in the report of tho Secretary of the Interior, which is herewith transmitted, and which report also embraces tha subjects of patents, pensions and other topic of public interest pertaining to his department The quantity of public land disposed of during the five quarters, ending ou the 30th of September last, was 4,221,342 acres, of which 1.538 61 1 acres were entered ondof the Hompsteud law.

Tbe Secretary reiterates his recommendations and to tbim the attention of Congress is invited. ' i The liberal provisions to invalid, soldiers , iiiid sailors of the republic, and to tbo widows, orphans and dependent mothers of those who have fallen in battle or tlied of diseases contracted, or of wouuds received, iu the service of their country, havo been diligently administered. There have been added to the pen sion rolls duriug the year eiidins tbe 30th day of June last! tho'iinuies of 16,770 invalid soldiers, and of 271 disabled seamen, making the present uuinber oranny invalid pensioners 22,-767, of navy invalid pensioners 712. Of wid-cws, orphans nud mothers, 22,198 have been placed nn the army pension rolls and 248 on tbe uttvy rolls. The present number of army pensioners of this class is 25,433 nnd of nuvy pensioners 793. At the begiuningof the year the uuinber or revolutionary pensioners was 143. Only thirteen of them were soldiers, of wbom have siuce died. The remainder aro tboso who umler the law receive peusious because of relationship to revolutionary soldiers. Dnrin" the year ending the SOlh of Juue, 1864, S4.504.616 92 have been paid to pensioners of all classes.

Tho most remarkable fea-1 tare in the military operation'or tbe year is Geu. Sherman's attempted murch of 300 miles directly through the insurgent region. Tt tends to show a grent inerensH of our relative strength, tlmt our Gwneral-iiuChief should leiil able to hold in cw'ck ei-mj ucu.u of the enemy, and yet to detach a well sup ported large army to move on mici u y-dition. : The result pot yut being known, con jecture in regard to it is nqt nere mtiuigeu.

Although short of complete success, it is so much iu the right direction that twelve thousand citizens in each of the States of Arkausas and Louisiana have orgunized loyal State Governments with free Constitutions, and ure earnestly struggling to maintain nnd administer them. Tho movement in tho sums direction, more extensive though less- definite, in Missouri, 1C mtucky and Tennessee, should not be overlooked. Hut Maryland presents the ex-umple of complete success. Maryland is seem e tn liberty and union for all tho'futnre. The genius t 'f rebellion will no more cluim Maryland. Like another foul spirit, being driven cut, it may scok to tear her, but it will woo her no more.

Tbe manner of coutio-ing tho effort remains to choose. ' On careful consideration of all the evidence accessible, it seems to me, that no attempt at , . , negotiation with tbo insargeut leader, could 4 result in any good. ' He would accept of nothing short of tho severance of the Union. His declarations to that effect are explicit and ' nl't repeated. He dos not attempt to deceive . I us.

It is nn isBtie which can ' i only be tried by war, aud deeided by victory. , If wo yield, we are beaten. If tbe South , em peoplo fail him, he is beaten. Kither way it would be tho victory and defeat following war. What is true, however, of him who 1 i heads the iusurgent cause, is uot necessarily , i true ftl those who follow.
