PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The President's Message as delivered »o Congress on Monday last will be found oi full length in our columns to~

day. commencing on the first page. We ihink every citizen ought to read etch annual Message of the President. There must of necessity always be more or less of matter connected with the condition and progress of our country, and its re-, lotions to and with foreign powers, of in» terest to all readers. The present Mes* sage of President Pierce is well written, perhaps a good deal elaborated in it* style. There is nothing very remarkable or striking .in the Message. It is somewhat conservative generally, and may be considered quite respectable.— The President takes nearly a column to smooth over the Greytnwn uffiiir. It is the weakest and most flimsy portion of

ihe document.

CONGRESS.

Both Houses assembled at Washington on Monday last. On Tuesday in the Senate, Mr. Jones of Iowa, offered a resolution that the Senate proceed forthwith to the election of a .President pro tempore, and after some debate the resolution was adopted. The first ballot resulted as follows Bright 24 Dawson, 2 Chase, 6 Foot, 2 and Badger 1, upon which Mr. Bright was declared elected, and accordingly took the

chair. In the House Mr. Taylor, of Tennessee, pnve notice of a bill, altering the naturalization law. Mr. Fellows gave notice of a bill to prevent the enlietment of foreigners in the army and navy, and to prevent the emigration of paupers and convicts from other countries. The same gentlemen introduced a resolution, culling for information in regard to the object of the conference of American ministers at Ostend. He made some remarks in favor of the passage of the resolution, stating that his object was to obtain some light on this mysterious meeting of our representatives abroad. Mr. Bayley spoke in justification or the ministers holding a conference in view of the unsettled state of affuirs in Europe, and said he should suppose the President's message ought to disarm the gpntleman in regard to his distrust of the foreign policy of the admiration. Mr. Wentworth followed in the same strain, and in approval of tle message and the foreign policy of the administration. Mr. Guy advocated tho passage of the resolution, and Baid it was merely an inquiry,, and did not require that the information should be communicated if it was deemed injurious to the public interest. Messrs. Washburn and Ilyllyer advocated the resolution. Mr. Phillips opposed it. Mr. Buyley took ground in its favor. Mr. Letcher said he would vote for it, and would like it better if more had been added to it. He said he distrusted our Minister to Madrid, and was willing that Mr. Soule should have an opportunity to vindicate his character if he was innocent or guilty either should bo known to the country. Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, said that he was glad the resolution was introduced, and expressed the opinion that no man of foreign birth ought to represent this country abroad*

LECTURES.

Somo gentlemen of our city have

raised a subscription for tho purpose of procuring public lectures, and have engaged Rov. James D. Butler, of Cincinnati, to deliver five lectbrUa, thrive of which will be on Tuesday, Thursday

and Friday of next wock. Mr. Duller Is one of the profound

aeholars of this generation his subjects oreconnocted with his travels in Europe, and his popularity as a lecturer may well lead us to cxpect a rich treat in his lee* tures. Ilis subjects will be, for 1 ucsday —-Ilerculonoum Thursday—Pompeii Friday—St. Peter's. The placo of the lectures is not yet fixed, but the public will be Informed of it In due season it

vill probably be at the Presbyterian Church, corner of 5ih and Ohio streets. The public it is hoped will be present.

SPECIE IN THE IT. S. TREASURY.—The atatemont of the U. S. Treasurer, published in the Washington Union, shows that there is at present in tho various depositories, subject to draft, the sum of $26.24B,106,40, of which $5,049,903 is

The Salt Lake mail has arrived here today. The party reports that on the 13th ult., the mail under the charge of John Jamison, coming to the States, was attacked by a party of Sioux Indians, near Dripp's trading post, about six miles this side of Fort Laramie, and all the men were killed, their names are Jamison, James Wheeler, Charles Hackett and a passenger from Salt Lake, named Charles Kincaid, whom they robbed of $10,500. They also opened the mail bags and took everything valuable. The mules were driven off. The mail parry outward bound passed by the 17th, and found the soldiers had taken care of the dead bodies. No escort could be furnished at the post, and the mail consequently could not be taken any further than Fort Laramie, and that of December has returned to this point.

As the law requires me to be in my office to receive taxes, I cannot, of course, go out tocollect.

During the past six years I have Imd the aid and attendance of some of tho most celebrated physicians, but have received no perma nent benefit, and but little relief. I at length had the good fortune to procure Dr. Curtis's Hy genua or Inhaling Hvgcan Vapor and Cherry Syrup.— At the lime 1 first obtained it, 1 was suffering under one of my most violent attacks, and was in reat distress, nlinost suflbca'ing for want of ..reath.

Soon after wearing the Inhaler, 1 found it relieved the pressure on my lungs, and after a while the disease made its appearance upon the surface under the Inhaler. I took ihe Cherry Syrup as directed, and continued to do so, mv eough gradually growing berter, until it entirely left me, and lnow( consider myself cured. I still wear the Inhaler, as the use of it is rather pleasant, and believing it strengthening and purifying to the lunga, 1 feci unwilling at present to dispense with it.
