Tbe President eent the following message to Congress to-day: TO the Senate and Hoosb or Rbp bbsentattvbs: In my annual message of December 1, 1873, while inviting general attention to all tbe recommen dationo ?ibu? by the Sssrct?ry of War your special attention wss invited to tbe importance of preparing for war in time of peaoe, by providing proper armament (or our sea coast defences. Proper armament is of vastly more im? portance than fortifications. Tbe lat? ter can bo supplied very speedily for temporary purposes, when needed; tho former cannot. Therm views gain in? creased strength and pertinence as years roll by. I have now, again, the honor to call special attention to the condition o! the armament of our for? tifications, and the absolute neoessity for immediate provision by Con? gress for tbe procurement of heavy cannon. The large expenditures required to supply tbe number of guns for four forts is the strongest argu? ment tbat can be adduced for a liberal annual appropriation for tbeir gradual accumulation. In time of war, snob preparations oannot bo made. Can? non cannot be purchased in open mar? ket, nor manufactured at short notice. They most be tbe product of years o# experience and labor. I herewith in oloae copies of a report of the' Chief of Ordnaaee and of a board of ordinauoe officers, on tbe trial of an eigbt inch k rifle, converted from a ten-inoh smooth bore, whiob shows very conclusively an economical means of utilizing these useless smooth bores, and making them into eigbt inoh rifles, capable of in my opinion, be so utilized, and tho appropnation reqri^t6d ftry-lnVOBief , of Ordnance of $200.000, to oommeuoe these conversions is ea.ruestly reoom. me6ded. While Convinced *or 'tqe eoonomy end necessity of these con? versions, tbe determioatioa of the bent add most eaonomioal method of pre? serving guns of still larger calibre should no longer be delayed. The ex? perience of other nations, bassd on the new oooditioos of defenee, brought prominently forward by tbe introduction of iron-olads into every navy afloat, demands heavier melted and rifle gons of not less than twelve iuobes in oalibre. These enormous masses, hurling a shot of 700 pounds, can alone meet many of the require? ments of the national defences. They must be provided, and experiments on a large scale oau alone givo the data necessary for She determination of the question. A suitable proving ground, with all the facilities and conveniences referred to by the Chiof of Ordnance, with a liberal annual appropriation, is an undoubted necessity. The guns now reudy for trial oanuot be experi? mented with without funds, and the eutimate of $250,000 for tbe purpose is deemed reasonable, and is strongly re? commended. The eoo8tant appeals for legislation on the armament of fortifi? cations ought no longer to be disre? garded, if CoogresB desires in peace to prepare tbe important material, with? out whioh future wars must inevitably lead to disaster. This subject is sub? mitted with the hope that the aouei deratiou it deserves may be given it at the preseut session. ?(Sigued) U. S. GRANT. Executive Mansion, Jan. 20, 1875. Charles A.
