During the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1868, six million six hundred and fifty-five thousand soven hundred acrcs of public land were disposed of. The entire sach receipts of the General Laud Qllice for the same period were $1,632,745, being greater by $28-1,883 than the amount realized from the same sources during the previous year. The entries under the Homestead Law cover two million three hundred and twentyeight thousand nine hundred and twenly-ihroe acres, nearly- one-fourth ot which was taken under the act of June 21st, I860, which applies only to the States ot Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Florida. On the 30th ol •Tune, 1S63, one hundred and sixty-nine thousand six hundred and fprty-three names were bom on the pension rolls, and during the year ending on that day the total amount of pensions paid, including the expenses of disbursement, was $24,0:0,982, being $5,391,025 greater than that expended for like purposes during the proceding year. During tho year ending the 30tli of September last, the expenses of the Patent Office exceeded the receipts by one hundred and seventy-one dollars, and including reissues and designs, fourteen thousand one hundred and fifty-three patents wero issued. Treaties with various tribes of Indians have been concluded and will be submitted to the Senate for its Constitutional action. I cordially sanction the stipulations which provide for reserving lands for the various tribes, where they may be encouraged to abandon their nomadic habits and engage in agricultural and industrial pursuits. Ihis policy, inaugurated many years since, has met with signal success wherever it has been pursued in good faith and with becoming liberality by the United States. The necessity for extending-it as far as practicable in our relations with the abroiginal population is greater now than at any preceding period. Whilst we furnish subsistence and instruction to the Indians and guarantee the undisturbed enjoyment of their treaty rights, we should habitually insist upon the faithful observance of their agreement to remain within their respective reservations. This is the only mode by which collision with other tribes and with the whites can be avoided and the safety of our frontier settlements secured. The companies constructing the railway from Omaha to Sacramento have been most energetically engaged in prosecuting the work and it is believed that the line will bo completed before the expiration of the next fiscal year. The six per cent, bonds issued to these Companies amounted, on the 5th inst., to war upon the South Pacific coast, although Chili has not declared on tho subject: Great Britain and Prance have cordially seconded our proposition of mediation, and I do not forego the hope that It will be aceeptcd by all of the belligerents. Our relations with Mexico have been marked during the year by ing growth and natural confidence. The Mexican Gevernineut has notyet acted on the three treaties for adjustment of claims, regulating consular powers, and establishing the. right's of naturalized citizens. Negotiations are pending under the auspices of the IXnited States for the construction of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, and I hope to-be able to submit the result to the Senate."

RECONSTRUCTION, s his professional t Pittston and vicinity services to the citizens o Special attention given \ MKKICAN HOTEL, J\. MAVCft CHCSK, PA. Upon the reassembling of Congress it again becomes my duty to call your attention to the state of the Union, and to the disorganized condition under the various laws which have been passed upon the subject of Reconstruction. It may be safely assumed as an axiom in tho government of States, that the greatest wrongs inflicted upon a people are caused by unjust and arbitrary legislation, or by the unrelenting decree of despotic rulers, and that the timely relocation of injurious and oppressive measures .'is the greatest good that can be conferred upon a nation. The legislator or ruler who lias the wisdom and magnanimity to retrace his steps when convinced of error, will sooner or later be rewarded with the respect and gratitude of an intelligent and patriotic people. Our own history, although embracing ® period le&s than a century, affords abundant proof that ftiost if not all of our domestic troubles, are directly traceablo to violations of the organic law and excessive legislation. The most striking illustrations of this fact are lurnisbed by the enactments ol the past three years upon the question of Reconstruction. "After a fair trial they have substantially failed and proved pernicious in their results, and there seems to be no good reason why they should longer remain upon the statue book. States which tho Constitution guarantees a Republican form of government have been reduced to Military Dependencies, in each of which tho people have been made subject to the arbitrary will of the Commanding General. Although the Constitution requires that each State shall be represented in Congress, Virgibia, Mississippi, and Texas *re yet excluded from the two Houses, and contrary to the express provisions of that instrument were denied participation in the recent election for a President and Vice President of tba United States. The attempt to place the white population under the-domination of persons of color in the South, has impaired if not destroyed the kindly relations that had previously existed between them, and mutual distrust has engendered a feeling of animosity which, leading in some instacces to collision and bloodshed, has prevented that cooperation between the two races so essential to the success of industrial enterprises in tho Southern States. Nor have the inhabitants of those States alone suffered from the disturbed couuition of affairs growing out of these Congressional enactments. The entire Union has been agitated by grave apprehen-. sions of troubles whieh might again involve the peace of the Nation. Its interests have been injuriously affected by tho derangement ol business and labor, and the consequent want of prosperity throughout that portion of the country. The Federal Constitution, the Magna Charta of American rights, under whoso wiso and salutary provisions we have successfully conducted all our demestic and foreign affairs, sustained ourselves in peace and in war, and become a great nation among the Powers of tho Earth, rnujt assuredly bs now adequate to the settlement of questions growing out of the civil war waged alone for its vindication. This great fact is made most manifest by tho condition ol the country when Congress assembled in the month of December, 1865. Civil strife had cea&od.— The spirit of rebellion had spent its entire force. In the Southern States the people had warmed into National life, and throughout the whole country a healthy reaction in public sentiment had taken place. Ey the application of the simple yet effective provisions of the Constitution the Executive Department, with the voluntary aid of the States, had brought the work of restoration as near completion as was wiUiin the scope of its authority, and the Nation was encouraged by the prospect of an early and satisfactory adjustment of all its difficulties. Congress, however, intervened, and refusing to perfect the work so nearly consummated, declined to admit members from the unrepresented States, adopted a series of measures which arrested the progress of restoration, frustrated all that had been so successfully accomplished,and after three years of agitation and strife has left the country farther from the attainment of union and fraternal feeling than at the inception of th« Congressional plan of Reconstruction. It needs no argument to show that legislation which has produced such baneful consequences should be abrogated or else made to conform to the genuine principles of Republican government.»chronic diseases.

EXTRACTING TEETH WITHOUT PAIN, rhioh he is doing successfully every day, by The report of the Secretary of War contains information of interest and importance respecting the several Bureaus of the War Department and the operations of the Army. The strength of our military force on the 30th of September last was forty-eight thousand men, and it is computed that by the 1st of January next this will be decreased to forty-three thousand. It is the opinion of the Secretary of War that within the next year a considerable diminution of tho infantry force may be made without detriment to the interests of the country, and in view of the great expense attending the military peace establishment and the absolute necessity of retrenchment wherever it can be applied, it is hoped that Congress will sanction the reduction which his report recommends. While in 1SG0 sixteen thousand three hundred men cost tho nation $16,472,000, the sum of $65,682,000 is estimated as necessary for the support of the Army during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1860. The estimates of the War Department for the last two. fiscal years were, lor 1867 $33,814,161, and for4S68 $25,205,669. The actual expendi-' tures during the same peroids were respectively $95,224,415 and $123,246,648. The estimate submitted in December last for the fisoal year ending June 30th, 1SG8, was $77,124,707. The expenditures for the first quarter ending tho 30th of September last, were $27,219,117, and the Secretary of the Treasury gives $66,000,000 as the amount which will probably be required during the remaining three quarters if there should be no reduction of the Array, making its aggregate cost for the ■year considerably In excess of ninety-three millions. The difference between the estimates and expenditures for the three fiscal,years which have been named is thus shown to be $175,545,343 for this single branch #f the public service.

REPORT OP TUB SECRETARY OF TUE KAVT. good night The report of the Secretary of the Navy exhibit! the operation of that Department and of the Navy during the year. A considerable reduction of the force* has been effected. There are forty-two Teasels, carrying four hundred and eleTen guns, in the six squadrons which are established in different parts of the world. Three of these vessels are returning to. the United States and four are used as store ships, leaving the actual cruising force thirty-five vessels, carry ing three hundred and fifty-six guns. The total numberof vassel* in the Navy i* two hundred and six, mounting seventeen hundred and forty-three guns. Eighty-one vessels of every description are in use, armed with six hundred and ninety-six guns. The number of enlisted men in the service, including apprentices, has been reduced to eight thousand five hundred. An increase of navy yard facilities is recommended as a measure which will in the event of war both promote economy and security. A more thorough and systematic survey of the North Pacific ocean is advised in view our recent apquisitions, out expanding commerce, and the increasing intercourse betweeu the I'acific States and Asia. The Naval Tension fund, which consists of a moiety of the avails of prizes captured during the war, amounts to $14/100,000. Every child is bom with a capacity for fear, which is useful quality when kept in due subjection, but which may, by evil habits, by wilful encouragement, or by some sudden shock or an injury to the nerves, be exaggerated into habitual cowardice. The nervous system may likewise be brought into such a condition by the intemperate use of stimulents as subject the mind to fear upon trivial occasions, for pot valor will degenerate into rank cowardice if kept up too long. It is true, too that training has much to do with twin's character for bravery. If a boy is cowed and kicked into a state of abject" fear during his childhood,- he will wecome such a habitual coward that it will be very difficult to break the habit; while on the contrary a boy naturally timid may be taught to defend his rights bravely whenever attacked. The possibility of learning a timid person to be brave, and a man braver, is one of the most important advantages we have over the brutes. If you force a boy into a situation he dreads, you increase his timidity; if you persuade hiin into braving it, you increase his courage. Fear of making difficult leaps ; standing on dizzy heights may be overcome by practice. If you go to vault a leaping bar, atvd shrink from throwing your legs boldly over, giving way to the 'first little fear, your fear will grow stronger on the next occasion , and in learning to swim the same will be found true. Where reason teaches you there is no danger, or that the dangers that present themselves may be overcome, listen to reason, and cast 6fl fear.

During the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1868, six million six hundred and fifty-five thousand soven hundred acrcs of public land were disposed of. The entire sach receipts of the General Laud Qllice for the same period were $1,632,745, being greater by $28-1,883 than the amount realized from the same sources during the previous year. The entries under the Homestead Law cover two million three hundred and twentyeight thousand nine hundred and twenly-ihroe acres, nearly- one-fourth ot which was taken under the act of June 21st, I860, which applies only to the States ot Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Florida. On the 30th ol •Tune, 1S63, one hundred and sixty-nine thousand six hundred and fprty-three names were bom on the pension rolls, and during the year ending on that day the total amount of pensions paid, including the expenses of disbursement, was $24,0:0,982, being $5,391,025 greater than that expended for like purposes during the proceding year. During tho year ending the 30tli of September last, the expenses of the Patent Office exceeded the receipts by one hundred and seventy-one dollars, and including reissues and designs, fourteen thousand one hundred and fifty-three patents wero issued. Treaties with various tribes of Indians have been concluded and will be submitted to the Senate for its Constitutional action. I cordially sanction the stipulations which provide for reserving lands for the various tribes, where they may be encouraged to abandon their nomadic habits and engage in agricultural and industrial pursuits. Ihis policy, inaugurated many years since, has met with signal success wherever it has been pursued in good faith and with becoming liberality by the United States. The necessity for extending-it as far as practicable in our relations with the abroiginal population is greater now than at any preceding period. Whilst we furnish subsistence and instruction to the Indians and guarantee the undisturbed enjoyment of their treaty rights, we should habitually insist upon the faithful observance of their agreement to remain within their respective reservations. This is the only mode by which collision with other tribes and with the whites can be avoided and the safety of our frontier settlements secured. The companies constructing the railway from Omaha to Sacramento have been most energetically engaged in prosecuting the work and it is believed that the line will bo completed before the expiration of the next fiscal year. The six per cent, bonds issued to these Companies amounted, on the 5th inst., to war upon the South Pacific coast, although Chili has not declared on tho subject: Great Britain and Prance have cordially seconded our proposition of mediation, and I do not forego the hope that It will be aceeptcd by all of the belligerents. Our relations with Mexico have been marked during the year by ing growth and natural confidence. The Mexican Gevernineut has notyet acted on the three treaties for adjustment of claims, regulating consular powers, and establishing the. right's of naturalized citizens. Negotiations are pending under the auspices of the IXnited States for the construction of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, and I hope to-be able to submit the result to the Senate."

RECONSTRUCTION, s his professional t Pittston and vicinity services to the citizens o Special attention given \ MKKICAN HOTEL, J\. MAVCft CHCSK, PA. Upon the reassembling of Congress it again becomes my duty to call your attention to the state of the Union, and to the disorganized condition under the various laws which have been passed upon the subject of Reconstruction. It may be safely assumed as an axiom in tho government of States, that the greatest wrongs inflicted upon a people are caused by unjust and arbitrary legislation, or by the unrelenting decree of despotic rulers, and that the timely relocation of injurious and oppressive measures .'is the greatest good that can be conferred upon a nation. The legislator or ruler who lias the wisdom and magnanimity to retrace his steps when convinced of error, will sooner or later be rewarded with the respect and gratitude of an intelligent and patriotic people. Our own history, although embracing ® period le&s than a century, affords abundant proof that ftiost if not all of our domestic troubles, are directly traceablo to violations of the organic law and excessive legislation. The most striking illustrations of this fact are lurnisbed by the enactments ol the past three years upon the question of Reconstruction. "After a fair trial they have substantially failed and proved pernicious in their results, and there seems to be no good reason why they should longer remain upon the statue book. States which tho Constitution guarantees a Republican form of government have been reduced to Military Dependencies, in each of which tho people have been made subject to the arbitrary will of the Commanding General. Although the Constitution requires that each State shall be represented in Congress, Virgibia, Mississippi, and Texas *re yet excluded from the two Houses, and contrary to the express provisions of that instrument were denied participation in the recent election for a President and Vice President of tba United States. The attempt to place the white population under the-domination of persons of color in the South, has impaired if not destroyed the kindly relations that had previously existed between them, and mutual distrust has engendered a feeling of animosity which, leading in some instacces to collision and bloodshed, has prevented that cooperation between the two races so essential to the success of industrial enterprises in tho Southern States. Nor have the inhabitants of those States alone suffered from the disturbed couuition of affairs growing out of these Congressional enactments. The entire Union has been agitated by grave apprehen-. sions of troubles whieh might again involve the peace of the Nation. Its interests have been injuriously affected by tho derangement ol business and labor, and the consequent want of prosperity throughout that portion of the country. The Federal Constitution, the Magna Charta of American rights, under whoso wiso and salutary provisions we have successfully conducted all our demestic and foreign affairs, sustained ourselves in peace and in war, and become a great nation among the Powers of tho Earth, rnujt assuredly bs now adequate to the settlement of questions growing out of the civil war waged alone for its vindication. This great fact is made most manifest by tho condition ol the country when Congress assembled in the month of December, 1865. Civil strife had cea&od.— The spirit of rebellion had spent its entire force. In the Southern States the people had warmed into National life, and throughout the whole country a healthy reaction in public sentiment had taken place. Ey the application of the simple yet effective provisions of the Constitution the Executive Department, with the voluntary aid of the States, had brought the work of restoration as near completion as was wiUiin the scope of its authority, and the Nation was encouraged by the prospect of an early and satisfactory adjustment of all its difficulties. Congress, however, intervened, and refusing to perfect the work so nearly consummated, declined to admit members from the unrepresented States, adopted a series of measures which arrested the progress of restoration, frustrated all that had been so successfully accomplished,and after three years of agitation and strife has left the country farther from the attainment of union and fraternal feeling than at the inception of th« Congressional plan of Reconstruction. It needs no argument to show that legislation which has produced such baneful consequences should be abrogated or else made to conform to the genuine principles of Republican government.»chronic diseases.

EXTRACTING TEETH WITHOUT PAIN, rhioh he is doing successfully every day, by The report of the Secretary of War contains information of interest and importance respecting the several Bureaus of the War Department and the operations of the Army. The strength of our military force on the 30th of September last was forty-eight thousand men, and it is computed that by the 1st of January next this will be decreased to forty-three thousand. It is the opinion of the Secretary of War that within the next year a considerable diminution of tho infantry force may be made without detriment to the interests of the country, and in view of the great expense attending the military peace establishment and the absolute necessity of retrenchment wherever it can be applied, it is hoped that Congress will sanction the reduction which his report recommends. While in 1SG0 sixteen thousand three hundred men cost tho nation $16,472,000, the sum of $65,682,000 is estimated as necessary for the support of the Army during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1860. The estimates of the War Department for the last two. fiscal years were, lor 1867 $33,814,161, and for4S68 $25,205,669. The actual expendi-' tures during the same peroids were respectively $95,224,415 and $123,246,648. The estimate submitted in December last for the fisoal year ending June 30th, 1SG8, was $77,124,707. The expenditures for the first quarter ending tho 30th of September last, were $27,219,117, and the Secretary of the Treasury gives $66,000,000 as the amount which will probably be required during the remaining three quarters if there should be no reduction of the Array, making its aggregate cost for the ■year considerably In excess of ninety-three millions. The difference between the estimates and expenditures for the three fiscal,years which have been named is thus shown to be $175,545,343 for this single branch #f the public service.

REPORT OP TUB SECRETARY OF TUE KAVT. good night The report of the Secretary of the Navy exhibit! the operation of that Department and of the Navy during the year. A considerable reduction of the force* has been effected. There are forty-two Teasels, carrying four hundred and eleTen guns, in the six squadrons which are established in different parts of the world. Three of these vessels are returning to. the United States and four are used as store ships, leaving the actual cruising force thirty-five vessels, carry ing three hundred and fifty-six guns. The total numberof vassel* in the Navy i* two hundred and six, mounting seventeen hundred and forty-three guns. Eighty-one vessels of every description are in use, armed with six hundred and ninety-six guns. The number of enlisted men in the service, including apprentices, has been reduced to eight thousand five hundred. An increase of navy yard facilities is recommended as a measure which will in the event of war both promote economy and security. A more thorough and systematic survey of the North Pacific ocean is advised in view our recent apquisitions, out expanding commerce, and the increasing intercourse betweeu the I'acific States and Asia. The Naval Tension fund, which consists of a moiety of the avails of prizes captured during the war, amounts to $14/100,000. Every child is bom with a capacity for fear, which is useful quality when kept in due subjection, but which may, by evil habits, by wilful encouragement, or by some sudden shock or an injury to the nerves, be exaggerated into habitual cowardice. The nervous system may likewise be brought into such a condition by the intemperate use of stimulents as subject the mind to fear upon trivial occasions, for pot valor will degenerate into rank cowardice if kept up too long. It is true, too that training has much to do with twin's character for bravery. If a boy is cowed and kicked into a state of abject" fear during his childhood,- he will wecome such a habitual coward that it will be very difficult to break the habit; while on the contrary a boy naturally timid may be taught to defend his rights bravely whenever attacked. The possibility of learning a timid person to be brave, and a man braver, is one of the most important advantages we have over the brutes. If you force a boy into a situation he dreads, you increase his timidity; if you persuade hiin into braving it, you increase his courage. Fear of making difficult leaps ; standing on dizzy heights may be overcome by practice. If you go to vault a leaping bar, atvd shrink from throwing your legs boldly over, giving way to the 'first little fear, your fear will grow stronger on the next occasion , and in learning to swim the same will be found true. Where reason teaches you there is no danger, or that the dangers that present themselves may be overcome, listen to reason, and cast 6fl fear.
