The present insurrection shows, I think,
th it the extension of tlusd'stiict across
the Potomac river at the time of estab
lishin the cap tal here as eminently
wie, and conseimtntiy, that the rei iu-cjui.-hmei

iu the State of Virini t w;s uuwise and
dangerous. I submit lor your considera
tion the expediency of reKaimn that part
of the District and the restoration of the
original boundaries thereof through lie
vocations with the State of Virginia.
The report of the Secretary of the In
terior, with the accompanyiiidocunients,
exhibits the condition of the te,ra!
branches of the public I tisiness p rtainiii'
lo that Department. The depressing in
flueiices of the insurrection have be. ti es
p' ci clly felt in the operations of the Pat
ent ami (eiieral Land otlices. The ea-l,
receipts from the sales ut public lands,
during the last year, have exceeded the
expenst-s of iur land system only about
-,'K),0N). The sales have been entirely
suspended in the Sou hem States, while
the interruptions to the business of the
country, and the diversion of lare num
bers ol' men from I ibor to mi itary service
h ive obstructed settlements in the new
Stit-s and Territories of the S rthwes.
