ROCHESTER, N. Y., DEC, 15, 1866. 
HEWS OF THE WEEK. 
The President’s Message, 
Tub President, in his recent Message to 
Congress, sajB, in the openiDg paragraph, that 
the enforcement of the laws is no longer ob¬ 
structed in any State by combinations too pow¬ 
erful to be suppressed by the ordinary Judicial 
proceedings; that theanimosslties engendered 
’ by the war are rapidly giving way to kindlier 
influences; that ttn entire restoration of frater¬ 
nal feeling must be the earnest wish of every 
patriotic heart. The steps taken for the promo¬ 
tion of this object are recapitulated at length 
and the difficulties opposing themselves tocom- 
lete success are said to be found in tbc lack of 
representation in Cougress of the States lately 
in rebellion. As a means toward a final restora¬ 
tion, the Judicial, Revenue and Postal systems 
of the country were extended to to those States 
and the proper officers appointed for these sev¬ 
eral departments. All the States lately In rebel¬ 
lion have ameuded their constitutions, whereby 
slavery is abolished in accordance with the 
requisition made upon them in this respect. 
Regret is expsessed that Congress has so l'ar 
refused the representation asked for by the 
States referred to. He dissents from the opinion 
that the seceded States should be regarded as 
simply in the condition of Territories, tuid cites 
the declaration of Congress in August, 1862, 
that "hereafter as heretofore, the war will be 
prosecuted for the object of practically restoring 
the constitutional relation between the United 
States and each of the States and the people' 
thereof, iu which States that relation is or may , 
be disturbed," in proof of the correctness of his . 
views. The President reviews the subject of • 
representation at considerable length and urges 
a favorable consideration of it by Congress. 
The reports of the several heads of Depart- l 
monte arc adverted to and a synopBiB of their * 
contents presented- They are each and all re- i 
garded as of a highly satisfactory character. 
Affairs in Mexico hold considerable promi- j 
nence In the Message, An arrangement was 1 
made with tbo French Emperor for the with- ‘ 
drawal of his troops from that country in three j 
divisions at stated periods, the last in Novem- : 
ber, 1S67. Apprehending that this movement i 
on the part of the French would create a crisis ! 
in that country, a minister and the Lieutenant 
General of the armies of the United States were i 
sent there for the purpose of watching events, 
learning the true state of affairs and to promote ( 
the interests of the Republic of Mexico. The 
President has 6ince been informed that the ] 
French Emperor has modified his plan of with- 1 
drawal and did not detach the November con- ( 
tingent as agreed upon, but will remove all his 
troops from Mexico during the ensuing spring. £ 
To this modification of the agreement objection < 
is made and a hope expressed that the original 
agreement will yet be substantially adhered to 1 
by the French Emperor, Difficulty on this i 
point is not apprehended. * 
Regret is expressed that no considerable ad¬ 
vance has been made towards an adjustment of i 
our differences with England in relation to viola- t 
tions of the neutrality laws during the late civil i 
contest in this country. An early adjustment ( 
of this question is deemed essential to a good £ 
understanding between the two governments. 
The invasion of Canada from our territory in t 
June last is adverted to, as also the capture and < 
conviction of some of the invadefs. Efforts i 
are mailing to procure a modification of the < 
sentence passed on the convicted. 
Efforts have been made to obtain from Euro- i 
peart governments a recognition of tbe right of 
subjects of these governments to expatriate 
themselves unless accused of or convicted of 
i crimes punishable by the laws of their native 
-countries. Tvhis is deemed a matter of great 
importance, but all efforts, so far, for a preper 
; adjustment of it have failed. The question will 
be still further pressed on the attention of those 
governments. _ 
Nummary of Department Report*. 
Treasury Department. — During the fiscal 
■ year ending tbe 30th of Jnne, 1865, the national 
debt was increased $041,902,587, and on the Stst 
of October, 1865, it amounted to $2,740,854,750. 
On tbe Slat day of October, 1806, it had been 
reduced to $2 551,810,006,1 he diminution, during 
a period of fourteen months, commencing 8ept. 
1, 1865. and ending Oct 31, 1866, having been 
$206,379,565. In tbc last ami ual report on the 
state of the finances, it was estimated that dnrlog 
tbc three quarters of the fiscal year ending the 
30 th of June ko-t, the debt would be Increased 
$112,194,947. During that period, however, it 
was reduced $31,196,387, the receipts of the year 
having been $89,905,905 more, trad tbe expendi¬ 
tures $200,529,285less than the estimates. During 
the fiscal year ending the 30th of June, I860, the 
receipts were $558,032,62(1, and (he expenditures 
$520 750,940, leaving an available surplus of $37,- 
281,680. It Is estimated that the receipts for the 
fiscal year ending the 30tb of June, 1867, will be 
$475,061,886, and that the expenditures will 
reach the sura of $316,428,078, leaving in the 
Treasury a surplus of $158,683,308. For the 
fiscal year ending Juno 30, 180$, it is estimated 
that the receipts will amount to $436,000,000, and 
that tbe expenditures will lie $350,247,041—show¬ 
ing an excess of $85,752,359 in favor of tbe Gov¬ 
ernment. Secretary McCulloch’s Report shows 
a very favorable condition of the finances; that 
tbe national debt is likely to be paid in twenty- 
five years, and a return to specie payments 
throughout the country in eighteen months. 
Gash now in the U. 8. treasury, $130,326,960. 
There are now 1,647 national banks in operation; 
their circulation and deposits, Oct. l, '66, $1,024,- 
274,386; their resources, $1,525,493,900. The 
Comptroller of the Currency, Mr. lluriburt, 
recommends that redemptions of national hank 
notcB he made In New York city. 
War Department. —Secretary Stanton re¬ 
ports that the entire number of volunteers lo be 
mustered ont, paid and transported. Mayl, 1865, 
wan 1,034,064; by November 1, 1866, 1,023,621 
were mustered out, leaving in service 11,043, 
white and colored. Reduction of colored troops 
during the year 75,021, leaving in service about 
10,000 officers and men. The army now num¬ 
bers, of nil arms, 54,302 men. During the fiscal 
year there was paid to the army, military acad¬ 
emy aud volunteers $259,374,317, From May 
1, 1865, to Aug. 2, I860, over 267,000 horses and 
mules were sold for $15,269,075. Barracks, hos- 
E itals and other buildings sold brought $447,873. 
tamaged clothing sold for $902,770; hospital 
property sold for $4,000,000. The aggregate sales 
of iranBporl? and other war material amounted 
to $12,163,707. The military telegraph is discon¬ 
tinued; Its cost was $3,219,000 ; 433 engines and 
6.605 cars have been restored to their owners. 
The expense of operating military railroads dur¬ 
ing the war was $45,000,000. Forty-one national 
cemeteries have been established; interments of 
Union soldles In the cemeteries, 104,526. The 
total expense ot the department the past year 
was $259,374,317, of which sum $'205,272,814 were 
paid to soldiers mustered out of the service. 
One hundred and fifty thousand freedmen and 
their children are attending Bchool in the Booth. 
Navy Department. - The whole naval force, 
Secretary Welles 6ays, at this time, consists of 
278 vassal*, itrmed with 2,851 guns. Of these, 1 15 
vessels, carrying 1,029 guns, are in commission, 
distributed chiefly among seven squadrons. The 
number of men iu tbe service is 18,000, Most of 
the irondads, numbering fifty-four, are laid up 
at League Island, near Philadelphia. The naval 
pension fond amounts to $11,750,000, having 
been increased $2,750,000 during the year. The 
expenditures of the Department for the fiscal 
year ending the 30th of .June last were $43,324,- 
526; the estimates for the coming year amount 
to $23,568,436. 
Interior Department. —The Secretary of 
the interior reports that during the fiscal year, 
4,029,312 acres of public land were disposed 
of, 1,892,516 acres ot which were entered under 
the the homestead act, Tbe policy originally 
adopted relative to the public landB has under¬ 
gone essential modifications. The pre-emption 
laws confer upon the pioneer who complies, wit h 
the terms they Impose the privilege of purchasing 
a limited portion of "unoffered lauds" at the 
minimum price. Tbe homestead enactments 
relieve the settler from the payment of purchase 
money, and secure him a permanent home, upon 
the condition of residence for a term of years. 
Mr. Browning says this liberal policy invites 
emigration both from the old and new world. 
Land offices have been re-opeued in Florida, 
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. 
Post-Office Department.— The Postmaster- 
General, Mr. Randal], reports that the expendi¬ 
tures for the year exceed the receipts $965,093. 
The length of mail routes in operation the past 
year was 180,921 miles. Many of the mail 
routes In the late insurgent Btalcs were in opera¬ 
tion only part of the. year. There has been an 
increase the past year iu those States of 41,872 
miles, at an annual cost of $1,137,363, Over one- 
half the mail routes in these, 8laics arc now in 
operation, and 8,839 post-offices have been re¬ 
opened. Contractors have been fined $56,302 
for delinquencies. The revenue the past fiscal 
year was $ 14,380,986. There has been an iucrease 
in the postage upon the correspondence ex¬ 
change with foreign countries amounting to 
$400,290. Liberal postal arrangements have been 
made with Italy, and a highly important one 
nearly completed with Great Britain. 
Canada Matters. . 
A new trial has been refused to the four 
Fenians condemned to be hung in Toronto on 
the 18th iust., but a respite has been granted 
them until the 18th day of March next. 
A full battery of Armstrong guns has been 
sent to Kingston for the use of the garrison in 
ease they have to do field duty. 
All volunteer field batteries in Canada have 
been supplied with new and complete equip¬ 
ments and guns, and are ready to take the field 
at a moment’s notice. 
The authorities in Ottawa are watching (Dec. 8) 
numerous supposed Fenians. It is surmised that 
they iuteud setting fire to the Parliament build¬ 
ings, and necessary precautions are being taken. 
Great dissatisfaction is expressed at the respite 
granted to the Fenians sentenced to be hung. 
A telegram from Sweetsburg of Dec. 9, says 
that the Government has received information 
of an intended raid by the Roberts Fenians, The 
volunteer militia have been armed with the Spen¬ 
cer breech-loading rifles. 
Excitement about the Madoc mines continues 
unabated. Operations are rapidly progressing. 
Prom Mexico. 
The N. Y. Herald’s Chihuabna correspondent 
of Nor. 22, says the Imperialists were evacu¬ 
ating all their northern outposts, and it was 
thought that Mazatlan aud San Luis Potoai 
would soon be rid of their presence. All the 
available Liberal forces In that part of the 
country are being concentrated for tbe purpose 
of investing 8an Luis, and over 13,000 men will 
soon confront that stronghold. 
On the 2Gth, Gen. Sedgwick, commanding 
the U. 8. forces at Brownsville, Texas, sent a 
detachment of troops under Colonel Perkins, 
to Matamoras. It was alleged that Canales in¬ 
tended to sack the city, and Gen. S. sent his men 
to protect American citizens. After an inter¬ 
view with Canales, Gei. Sedgwick withdrew his 
forces. Escobada open fire on the city and Fort 
Monterey, but was unsuccessful, losing 750 men 
in killed, wounded aDd prisoners. 
Gen. Sedgwick, on tbe 30th, demanded of 
Canales the surrendef of Matafcoras, himself 
and troops to be prisoners of war to the United 
States. Canales refused to surrender on the 
ground of there being no war witlx the United 
States. He, however, surrendered the city to 
Escobada, who took possession the next day 
Oojaea has been surrendered to the Liberals. 
Foreign Item* —By Telegntpli. 
London, Dec. 4. — The Police .Justices of 
Cork have sent telegraph dispatches to the 
authorities here asking for more troops to pre¬ 
serve the peace of that city. The enrollment of 
loyal Irish in Ireland has been ordered by the 
Government. The Government is determined 
to crush the rebellion tbe moment it breaks out 
Berlin, Dec. 0.—It is positively declared that 
Austria will concentrate troops in Gallacia, iu 
spite of former denials of her intention to do so. 
London, Dec. 6. — It is reported here to-day 
that the Emperor Maximilian has telegraphed 
bv the Atlantic cable that he will soon land at 
Gibraltar, Spain. 
The excitement about the condition of affairs 
in Ireland is increasing. No actual outbreak bas 
yet occurred, but the military and naval authori¬ 
ties are making every preparation to meet the 
emergency whenever it arises. 
In addition to the numerous men-of-war already 
sent to Queenstown and Belfast, the Lords of the 
Admiralty have to-day ordered the dispatch of 
three more iron-clade to Ireland. 
The military authorities have also directed the 
departure of two additional regiments of regu¬ 
lars to the same quarter. 
Dublin, Dec. C. — The military here are ac¬ 
tively engaged in efiorts to discover and arrest 
all Fenians. The Pigeon House Fort, com¬ 
manding the entrance to the harbor, is being 
strongly garrisoned and supplied with Arm¬ 
strong guns. 
London, Dec. 7.—The Po6t demands of the 
Government a rigid investigation Into Fenian 
organizations in England, and in what manner 
the depot of arms in Liverpool ie guarded. 
Paris, Dec. 7.—Tbe French officers had their 
farewell interview with the Pope yesterday. The 
French vessels of war have blockaded Corea. 
Congress.— The National Law-makers have 
not, as yet, this session, fairly got the machinery 
for tnmiDg out their products in grinding order, 
and probably will not get to work in earnest 
until after the first of January. No one has yet 
moved an impeachment of the President, and we 
believe nothing of the kind is contemplated. 
A resolution has passed the House, 111 to 29, to 
repeal the act of July 17,1862, authorizing the 
President to pardon rebels. A bill has been in¬ 
troduced in the House that the next session ol 
Congress commence the first Monday in March. 
The new tariff and tax bills are promised to be 
ready for Congressional action on the 15th inst 
A bill Is before Congress providing for eight dol¬ 
lar a month as a pension to surviving soldiers 
of the war of 1812; widows of soldiers who have 
died since April, 1,1865, and of those who die 
hereafter, to receive a like sum. No bill, that 
we are aware of, has yet passed both Houses of 
Congress, nor any of the unfinished business of 
last session been acted on. 
John H. Surratt.— Orders have been 6ent 
by our Government via the cable, to Admiral 
Goldsborough to send one of the fleet under his 
command iu the Mediterranean direct to Alex¬ 
andria to bring John JI. Surratt (whose re-arrest 
was published last week) to Washington, thus 
avoiding all possibility of his escape or of his 
release on habeas corpus. As Mr. Hale, our 
Minister, has Surratt’s photograph, there can be 
no doubt that the man arrested is the culprit. 
It is thought he will be tried in Washington by 
a civil tribunal. 
A Model Pater.— The Watchman & Reflector of 
•Boston, has an enviable reputation for ability and 
enterprise. It has not been surpassed in merit by 
any religions journal in the country. But it aspires 
to higher excellence, and proposes to become, with 
the opening of the New Year, one of the most com¬ 
prehensive family papers in the world. It will be 
greatly enlarged, and published on a double sheet: 
one sheet devoted, as hitherto, to religious matter; 
the other to literary, social, monetary and agricultu¬ 
ral articles. This latter department will be new and 
peculiar, with a rich variety of contents, embracing 
articles on current moral, social and political ques¬ 
tions ; on the leading men of the age in thought and 
action; reviews of important booke; tales for the 
family circle; agricultural and gardening matters for 
farmers; and monetary articles aDd reports of the 
markets for business men. - 
No Journal in the world certainly has a more com¬ 
prehensive plan to meet the wants of all families, 
and of all members of a family; and as the editorial 
staff will consist of nine men, all able and experi¬ 
enced in the several departments, who will be 
assisted by thirty contributors, many of them having 
a national reputation, the Watchman & Reflector 
muet become a model family paper, unequaled in 
merit and circulation. Its enterprising conductors 
deserve the largest success. We refer our readers to 
Advertisement in another column. 
Sunday School Convention of Western 
New York. —At the last 8tate Sunday Bchool 
Convention the State was divided into four dis¬ 
tricts, for the purpose of holding institutes, 
believing that thereby the cause of Sabbath 
8chools would be greatly promoted. The West¬ 
ern Division consists of the counties of Allegany, 
Cattaraugus, Chautauque, Erie, Genesee, Liv¬ 
ingston, Monroe, Niagara, Ontario, Orleans, 
Seneca, 8tenben and W'ayne. The Convention 
in this District will be held in the Presbyterian 
Church at Batavia on the 18th inst., aDd con¬ 
tinue three days. All friends of Sunday Schools 
are invited by the Committee having the matter 
in charge, to attend and take part in the exercises. 
Losses tN the Fisheries.— Fourteen vessels 
and twenty-six lives have been lost in the prose¬ 
cution of the fishing business, off Gloucester, 
during the past year. The loss of life is more 
than double that of last year. The value of 
vessels and property lost amounts to $140,000. 
Commercial, Markets, &c. 
. Rural New-Yorker Ovxicx, ? 
Rochester, Dec. 11, 1806, J 
Three is little change to notice in the eastern money 
market since last week. Rates of interest, however, 
are rather tending downward, and as a whole there is 
abetter state of feeling In commercial circles. Money 
continues close at Cincinnati, and at Chicago there la 
increased demand, and trade is reported very dull. 
Thla is particularly the case in tbe grain and lloar busi¬ 
ness, dealers being indisposed to operate under present 
prospects. Chicago hankers for a week past have been 
expressing currency to New York to keep up their bal- 
&nqe«, aud will be obliged to do so until produce comes 
forward more freely. Gold has been gradually declin¬ 
ing during the past week. Sales were made yesterday 
at 137.H- The gold recently sold by order of the Secretary 
ol the Treasury amounts to between fonr and five mil* 
lions. It Is presumed that Congress will hereafter order 
1 the sale of gold as it accumulates; lids will, prevent the 
Secretary Horn controlling the price by hoarding at one 
time and selling at another. 
Tbe Report of the Secretary of the Treasury ts in the 
main satisfactory to ttie commercial community, though 
In# Ideas In regard to a speedy return to specie pay. 
ments are considered hardly practicable. The Comp¬ 
troller of the Onrrency, In his Report, urges the Import¬ 
ance ol requiring all National Banka to redeem tbclr 
issues on the Atlantic seaboard—or In other words at 
New York, that being the commercial center. The 
necessity of furnishing the South with a National Bank 
currency is urged, und for this purpose he recommends 
that Uie bank circulation he gradually increased beyond 
the $300,000/100 now authorized, to the extent of $23,000,. 
000. Thla proposition is not endorsed by the Secretary 
of the Treasury. These and other recommendations in 
the reports we shall allude to as the action of Congress 
ikall be developed. 
The statement of the public debt to December 1st has 
been published. The whole amount of debt bearing 
coin interest Is $1,871,068,501.80; debt hearing currency 
Interest, $.85?,622,890.00; debt not presented for payment, 
$22,605,794.71. Debt hearing no totoreet, Including United 
Stales notes, fractional currency and gold certificates, 
$453,698,5*1.92; amount of coin and currency in treasury, 
$fSS,9G4,6S7.22; total amount of National Debt, less cash 
in treasury, 2,849,681,2»\22. The debt was reduced $1,- 1 
678,787 in the month of November, which is lee# than in 
any oilier month for some time past. 
Boos.—A moderate business has been done thus far 
this season. In this locality. In dressed hogs. Yesterday 
very few were In market, Buyers offer $V.00. 
The Detroit Post of Friday gives the stutc or the west¬ 
ern market, a* follows: 
The offerings of hoes are comparatively light, but our 
market, very naturally, feels the full effect of the decline 
In all the leading market*, and the price has fallen to 
f 7.Z1 net as the extreme figure for heavy, a decline of 
ally 75c. since yesterday. A» speculative operators are 
boldly offering mess pork at puces lower than It can be 
made for at the above figure for hogs, the tendency can¬ 
not be otherwise than downward. In Chicago yesterday 
the prices for choice lots were $5.80 for live, and $6 80 
net. In Cincinnati, $5.70 for live, and $6,75®$7.G0 net. 
Most of the packing houses ore now at work, but a lew 
have been holding back for lower rates. 
Mess Pork continues to decline. At the close of last 
week an operator in Detroit offered to sell at $19.00, six 
days delivery. Lot# to suit purchasers for alt January, 
sellers optloD, were offered at $18.50. 
Beet—H a# been rather Aimer for the last six or eight 
days. 
Whxat.—W e gave recently the comparative receipts 
of wheat at Buffalo and at New York during the summer 
and fall Of 1865 aud 1866, which showed a decrease In the 
amount. The reverse is true of the receipt# of wheat at 
Chicago. The following is the amount of wheat and 
Hour received Rom January 1 to December l. in each of 
tbe years mentioned, at that point: 
1865. 1806. 
Wheat, bush. 9,020.!W1 11 ,493,495

The Increase therefore this year is about 20 per cent,
