PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
Ye have received from tho polites
ncss of ono oi oar delegation at Austin
a copy of the Gazette containing the
'.Message of President Lamar to both
horses of Congreas. It is long and
- elaborate and is considered by many
a' very well written paper- hut wa re-
gret that its extreme length precludes
the possibility &" :ts publication in oar
columns.
It exhibits in renernl a glowing pic.

Tho President expatiates nt length
upon the subject of public lands. He
has delayed and is still averse to the
isuina land patents. Eatlv in the pre.
sent year agents wore despatched to
the different land office in tho If pub
lic to examine the records and ferret
out fraud. The disclosures uiiwle by
them are astounding. Perjury and
torgory have boon resorted to and ma-
ny thousand certificates have been it-

JITr. Weir You will see by the Ga-
zette nearly all that we have done up
to this time. The President's Message
is an ably written document so far as I
conld judge from hearing it read. It
wiil be priuted to-morrow whn a copy
ot it shall be sent to you.
Great harmony seems to prevail a
mong the members of Congres and
they-seem disponed to act in concert as
much as possible. The committee on
privileges and elections will to-morrow
morning by their report declare the
seat now occupied by Mr. Parker of
Shelby ns vacant he being a minister
of tho Gospel. That report wiil be
concurred in by the House probably
unanimously.
Relative to tho removal of the Beat
f Government there is some little uut
door discussion ; but it is not very pro-
bable that any serious efforts willies
made for its removal. The City of
Austin is located at decidedly one of
the most charming place -lever saw.
The accommodations are much better
than could harebeen-exix'.cted and the
citieens seem very kind and disposed
to make eur situation as agreeable -as
possible.
Upon-Ue whole tho pmspect before
ip seems rather jiatlenog thapother-
wise; and 1 Hope in my next to be able
to give you some news . a more'iatets
Mtiog character.

Citv or Austix 20th Nov.
Mr. Weir: You have no doubt b(
fore this time received the President's
Message. It is considered here decid.
edly tbo best he has submitted to. Con.
-gress. The Reports from the several
heads of Department have been sub.
mitted to" tho respective committees
sad are now .undergoing examinations.
That from the Secretaryiof Treasury is
bciorc the finance commiitac ana 1
apphend that their report will show
that our monetary affairs are in rather
a deplorable condition. Congress is
disposed to do every thing possible
but as yet no definitive plan hus been
submitted upon this important subject.
The President hassentins'ome nom-
ination.s to the Senate 1 know' mr
what offices (but presume for a .'I 'he
existing vacancies) but as vet I have
only learned that the appointment 01
Judge Webb Attorney General hus
been approved.
The plan for a Ponitentiary is a fa-
vorite one and I think a bill (or that
purpose will pass if we can devise the
ways and means to commence the
woili without any appropriation of pub
tic money. 1 his can only be cuected
by putting the convicts to work in cut-
ting out stone and orectiug tho walis
and buildings themselves.
On Monday nest Mr. Lawrence of
Ilarrisburg will introduce his bill to
hicato tne scat of Guvornmet. Tho
question will get a quietus without much
discussion. Even many who came
here prejudiced ugaiust this place are
now pleased.
The bill providing for carrying cut
the convention for .running the line by.
tween us and the U. States has passed
the Senate and will pass our hoitsa to-
monow; after which the commissioner
wiil proceed to perform his duty.
There seems to be a ctrong proba.
bi'nty that our session will be a long
ono as an immense deal of business is
accumulating.
Up to this time there have been no
clear indications of any desire to es-
tablish parties and it is to be hoped the
close of the session may be as harmo-
nious as its commencement.
.Very respectfully
WILLIAM H. JACK.
