The President on Monday, of last week, transmitted to the Senate a com munication . covering copies of orders, opinions of correspondence, ic, w ith the district military commanders in cur rying out the reconstruction acts, which hikd been called for by a resolution of that body. In this document ha Bays : It is exceedingly difficult at the pres ent time to estimate the probable ex leiie of carrying into full effect the two acts of March' last and the bill which pushed the two Houses of Congress ou thtj 13th iust. If tho cxistiug Govern ments of ten States of the Union aro to bo disposed of and their entire machiu wy is to placed under the exclusive control and authority of the respective District Commanders, tho exjtt'ndit ures incident to the administration of such Governmt uts must necessarily be incurred by the Federal Government. It is ls-lieved that in addition to the $2,100,000 already expended, an esti mate, for the sum which will be requir ed for this purpose will not be less than $14,000,000 the aggregate amount ex panded, prior to tho rebellion in the ad ministration of their respective govern ment by tho ten States embraced in jhe provision of those acts. The sum exitended would no doubt bo consider- augmented if the machinery of tliese States is to t operated ly tlie Federal Government, and would be largely increased if the United States by abolishing tho existing State Gov ernments should become responsible for the liabilities incurred by them In-fore the relxllion in laudable efforts to devel op thoir resources, and in nowise crea ted for ii..uurrcct.ionury purposus. The debts of those States thus legiti mately incuncd when accurately ascer tained, will, it is believed, approximate to a hundred million of dollars, and they aro held not only by our own citi zens, among whom are residents of jor tiuns of the country which have ever re mained loyal to the Union, but by per sons who are subjects of foreign govern ments. It is worthy of the considera tion of Congress aud of the country whether it tLo Federal Government by its action were to assume such obliga tions, so largo an addition would not se riously inipiur tbe credit of the nation, or, ou the other hand, whether tho re fusal of Congress to guarantee the pay ments of the debts of those States, after having abolished or displaced their State governments, would not be view ed as a violation of gtskl faith, and re pudiation by tho National Legislature of tho liabilities which these States had justly and legally incurred. Regarding tho reception of this prec ious document in the Senate tho Tri bune's special baa the following: The President's message on tho subject of Rebel debts L'avo rise to a verv free ex- - - n .... . pression of opinion from both sides of Se nate, and Democrats and Republicans concurred in pronouncing it an untime ly and uncalled for document. No one attempted to defend it. Reverdy John son regretted that it had been sent in. He thought it indiscreet in tho Presi clout to make such an attempt to create alarm and apprehension in the public mind at the present time, on such a subject He proiioueed the opinion expressed unfounuec, and tne reason mg fsllaetouH. Mr. Hendricks followed in a strain equally nucomplimentary to) the President , and even Buckalew could see no just grounds for the financial fears of his Excellency. The Demo crats were evidently chagrined, and did thoir boat to cut the debate short and gt the Message out of sight. There were a doeu r-js-M-hes made on the subject, but all on one side.

Tho Journal's correspondent gives the following par ticulars concerning au important treaty submitted to tho Senate on Saturday last: The treaty with Russia by which the United States will obtain Itaska, al though of great importance to the Pa cific coast States, is eclipsed iu a com mercial point of view by another treaty which has been negotiated with the Sandwich Islands. It establishes com mercial reciprocity with that common centre of the grcafwhaling grounds of the Pacific ocean ami will insure to the States of the Pacific coast supplies of sugar, molasses, coffee, meat vegetables and other articles of tlomestio produce at lower rates. Statistics have been collected which show the great import ance of this treaty commercially. Po litically it ends the contest which has been f r soma years carried on through missionaries and other agencies for tho control of the Huvich Islands by the United States, Franco and Great Bri tain. American diplomacy has again ! triumphed. Commercial reciprocity j ith the Saudwich Islands has for some y ars been demanded by the inhnbi tauts of the States ou the Pacific coast, auvl it so hapiened that Jlr. McCook, sent out to negotiate the treaty, met at San Francisco an envoy from the King of the Sandwich Islands, bound hither ou a similar errand, and tho treaty was uegotatcd in San Francisco. There are ten months allowed f t its ratification. This may lead to its retention in the State Department it there is a prospect of a speedy adjournment of Congress. With lUska and the Aleutian Islands as a territot r, and with a reciprocity treaty, whi' fi, is but the initial step to wards the :J sorption of the Sandwich Islands, the Utiiten Stati s will hence forth Cumuand tho Pacific Ocean and control bs commerce.

There is a tract of land mu ting from tho south-westerly part of tho town to the north-cast part, em bracing tho valley t.f the Battenkill, in cluding tho first ridgo of upland, that produce good crops of grain and grass. These can bo niado mure productive. There is nuother tract lying on both sides of the west road that is called a "cold, wet soil," and the fcoil is what farmers call "hard-pan." The soil of the most of this tract, evidently has all the materials, organic and inorganic, in such proportions as do constitute a fer tile soil. In 1,1100 parts ofa fertile soil, without manure, there aro found CIS parts siliciaor band and 67 parts alum ina or clay over 7-10 of tho whole is sand and clay. .Without the aid of ag ricultural cheno; ry every former can see this "hard-pun" aoil contains a large proportion of sand and some clay, lime is in about tho same amount as clay ia necessary, and this wo know those Boils possess. Thero is another clear evidence that this "hard-pan" soil is naturally fertile, for w hen it is thrown up from a post hole or ditch, the gross near tho margin of tho Boil thrown up soon assumes a dark-gro.cn color, the same as it does near a manure heap, These laud cannot be fitted for the early planting of corn or for other grains, without draining. The lauds of this discriptioii in this town are fa vorably tsituated for draining, as there is a gradual and sufficient tk scent to carry off the water in tho drains. When t he water passea off, tho warm air takes its place, after being drained, this bard soil can be easily turned up in the spring with a plow, and theu this ap parently barren t;oil, when it is exposed to tho atmosphere, becomes a pliable, ark-colored loam, and by the applica tion of manure can bo mado to produce abaundaut crops of grass or grain, and on no land will manure bo more benefi cial and histing. Let a few experiments be made. There has not been a sufii ciont amount of draining in this town to bo called an experiment, nor in the north shiro of this County, with the ex ception of what Las been dono iu Sun derland by A. &. II. Graves. They have drained ten or fifteen -acres, which be fore it was drained did not produce enough grass to pay tho interest ou $5.90. It now produces good crops of corn, oats and grass, and when the drains shall be doubled in number this land will be tho most productive of any up-lauds in Sunderland. Judgo French, John Johnson and others, have their fifteen or twenty miles of drains and say the increase of crops more than pays the expense. The Supt. of the State Agricultural Society of Con necticut, has sent circulars all over the Stat;, requesting information concern ing draining. Twenty farmers returned answers. Thos. A. Mead, of Greenwich, siys he has drained forty acres. It did not, before it was drained, yield $3 per acre, since, he has mado au average of $25 per aero. 1 Lope to see the system of iniprovuient by draining our wet lauds commenced. I Lave no doubt tho benefit will be so apparent that it will be extensively prosecuted. The w hole of the farm of John Phelps would bo doub led in value or quadrupled. The laud ou the high part of that farm, though of tho same kind of soil, produces good crops, much of the land will not pro duce good crops, the hard pan being near the surface. To get good crops of grass or grain on this land, tho land must be drained. The whole of Curtis Burton's laud needs draining. Thero is a small piece near hia bouse that re quires nothing but draining to make it produce abundantly. This piece could be drained with littlo expense. Let there bo a drain 2J feet deep from the north line through the west part, south to the road, it might bo done with small stone instead of tile. The water has stood for days on the surface of that laud between tbo hills, and the com seemed for weeks to be struggling to sustain life. If that piece had betn drained last Sept ember.there would now be seen a luxuriant growth of corn standing "our f et above the ground, and ia silk, insb-al of the pale, sickly fever-ague appnarance it has Lad this season. Let Brookina Munson drain a few acres east of -Lis bou and barn. H he should de jsit a $100 U.

I have called by name some who own these lands which require draining, be cause their lands are well adapted to this kind of improvement They have, to manifested good taste in tbe im provement of their dwellings and yards and being gentlemen of unquestionable industry, qualification requisite to make great improvement by draining, and neither of them, I presume, have any strong dislike to filthy lucre. I hope to see the lands particularly referr ed to, drained, ami tho owners abund antly rewarded by th increaso of pro duction. Judge French's lsiok on draining con tains much valuable information.

Ala. i .Di to it. rerhaps no city in America, t.t fill approaching it in size, with tho single exception of Brooklyin which is really but a suburb of N. Y., mnLos so little st ir and noise as ejuiet.un- pretending, yet vast and wealthy Phila delphia, ltd situation midway between tho Commercial and Political capitals, its distance from tho sea, and its lack of any striking advantages in location seem to justify the expression of sur prise which often escapes strangers on first traversing its illimitable area. It is a fact, though hard to bo credit ed by Now Yorkers that the houses iu this city outnumbers those of Now York by thousands, and that tho dis parity is inci easing every year. The traveler, stunned w ith the rush and roar of Broadway, is slow to recog nize in calm and quiet Chestnut street, tho main avenuo of tho second city of tho Union. It is tho fashion in some sections to speak slightly of Philadel phia as being an overgrown village a mere aggregation of houses. It has been well said that every great city is the expresssion of an idea. The thought of Rome in its glory w as power; of Athens art; of Babylon magnificence; of Palmyra pleasure; of Jerusalem religion. Paris to-day is a syuonyuiu forgayety and glitter, London suggests the rustle of Ledger leaves, and tho sober hum of business. Tho very name of Boston has a learned Hound, aud N. Y. is the city par excel lence that expresses tlie extremes of our nationol characteristics. What is tho peculiarity of Philadelphia, which gives it an individuality of its own ? One word expresses it conservatism. Philadelphia guards with jealous care whatever is timo hallowed, and looks suspiciously and long at any thing new. Hence it always lags a little in the race of improvement, but it clings with the more persistence- to a reform enco adop ted. Colons! people aro now permitted to ride iu the street cars, but tho con test which brought alxut this innova tion was long and bitter. All through tho war in a city famed for its gener ous and tender eare of the soldiers w ho wore the blue, tho sick or maimed vet eran with a black skin w as thrust from the public vehicle where the dirtiest butternut or most rabid copperhead could ride unquestioned. And this was not bo much from dislike to the negro as from a disliko of change. Ia like manner the main reason why the cars do not run on Sunday is because they have not We are just now in tbe midst of a carnival of song and larger beer. All day Satarday the "band" were arriving, and at evening were formally welcomed by th"ir city brethren and the mayor ou Independence square with fireworks, torchlights aud general rejoicings.

In common with its sister citie", Phil adelphia is iBui.u k ably healthy and re markably dull. Fewer persons than usual have h ft the city as yet, though many are ready to tuko their Might ou the advent of the "hot term."

This will necessitate large quantities of Vermont marble, for they are all built after the old pattern of whito facings ami door slips. A largo marble dcider of this city told mo recently that ho was paying hundreds of dollars monthly into the pockets of middle-men in Troy, which he should save by shipping at Hudson. How long is the trade of Western Ver mont to suffer from the rapacity of Troy managers? foreign -Correspondence of th Journal, London, July 3rd, 1807. Dr. Alt Joi'unal ; My hist letter from tbe Steamer Cuba, was mailed at Quecnstown, at which place we arrived about five P. M. Thurs day, tho '27th ulf, tho 8th day out. Nothing out of the usual order of things occurred on board. Charlie, as well as all the rest, was delight od to aeo land, ad we cttmo in sight of a point of old Ireland somo fifty miles out from Queenstowu, and as we approached this point, we see a tower upon a high rock, w hich is a telegraph btataiou. Here we switig up flags and signals indicating tho name of the ship, and fire a gun. Iu u few moments after the news of our arrival is in Liverpool, London and America. At Queenstown, a small town below the city of Cork, we landed '65 passengers and 70 bags of mails. Thoso wishing to visit Ireland and Scotland first, go off hero always, and the mails were taken across tho channel and thence by Rail Road to Loudon and Liverpool, and arrivo a few hours in ad vance of us. From Que.enstow nwe are about 20 hours ride from Liverpool, The days and nights w ere calm, the w-a smooth. The next day opened the same, clear and beautiful, aud tho scenery till along up the Ilnglish Channel aas inter esting, and in some places where we nearcd land we could see men and ani mals moving about, all of which afford ed auiuscmout for tho paaacnger on deck. We arrived at Liverpool about 5 P.M., Friday, making a passage from Boston in 8 days aud 22 hours, ouo of tbo quickest ou record; wonderful passage, fur the ocean was as smooth aud quiet as a river all tho way, except ouo rainy day as we were crossing the gulf st ream, and then not enough to create much motion, you must never expect tocross on such a time, for it is an occuret ce of a hfe timo said tho captain. Hero wo anchor in the stream, a small steamer brings out a posse of Custom House officers draped in red and gi It stripped coats, queer looking caps, with badge of Lion and Unicom over the fore piece. These go at work to examine our baggage, all of us with keyes in hand open every thing t-ven to the hand bags. The inquiry is made "Have you any thing subject to duty? any sugars or tobacco? ut the fcume twke ovea tho content a little, then paste a bit of pajw.-r on the parcel an ! pass it. This process tcok about two hours, after which we wer allowed bi goon shore.

But to know tho height of comfort in this lino you need b) take this trip, and when you arrive be conducted to a large, cllegautly furnidied room, such as is found iu England everywhere. and doff an entire suit of ship c lothes and get out of ship smell into frciL clotbxs and iur, the relief is such that for a while you w ill scarcely knowyour self. While engaged in this, Charlie cries out, well wo are here at List in tho old country all sufu 1 Yes, Charlie, wo arc here! and and a great country it is, although Great Britain ami Irelaud h it, a population of only 31,500,000. The empire of tho Queen covers a popula tioli of over 18,1,000,000. Well, sai.l, Charlie, sho may loose that little town of Canada one of these days, and I hen it will figure tip less a little 1 Now about Liverpool. It is a city of over 400,000 population, running along 15 miles upon tho banks of tho river Mersey. It is noted for it mag nificent docks, w hich are built of dress ed granite, and covers '200 acres, with ID miles of quays. Ouo third or more of the trade is with tho United Slates; the annual amount of cotton ulono i over 4,000,000 bales. Thero are Home very fine buildings in Liverpool, the Fx change is one of tho best; before this, sitting on a horse is tho monument oH Prince Albert, which is much admired It was placed there last year his mem ory is much beloved by every one iiJ England. All the streets aro well pa? ed, and tho few perks kept in good or dor. Tho retail shops display their goods in show windows which surpass Broadway, New York, and tho low prices mti'.:e them very tempting to u Americans. There is not enough new and inter esting in Liverpool to induce traveler to remain longer than one day or no We left at 11 the next morning foi Loudon. Say a hat you will about 11 R. curs, I must admit there is no auclj comfort in traveling as is found in these) English R.

We got oil the fast train which mules 50 mile ail hour including stops, a sjs.ed that would never do to follow in our count ry, aud yet here the ride with this ter rible speed wan no quiet that commo-i conversation was carried oa with a much ease as in a parlor. We had aone of our ship friends along with us, scv end ou the samo train. The cotintn through which we pass is too beautu'u at this time of the year for me to des cribe, I can only say it is ono jn rfeef garden all the way, even tbe R. It loje1 are cultivated.
