THE SPRINGIELD DAILY REPUBLICAN SATURDAY MARCtf 25 1SG5 yiMicaiL SATURDAY MORNING MARCH 25 1864 Gold opened at New York yesterday at 150 3 fell to 141 1 2 the lowest quotation reported since December 1863 and then advanced to 153 the market having been largely oversold and closed at 190 1 4 in the afternoon and 155 1 4 in the evening The stock quotations were generally a little lower than on Thursday the New York Central leading the railroad shares that declined Cotton sold at 40c and the general markets diowed lower prices No important failures are reiorted and none are hkely to take place ex cept it may be speculative dealers who have bor rowed money to buy goods expecting advanced prices and now have falling prices a dull market and large notes to pay If the bears change to bulls some of these days it will be no strange thing The brokers always play the sole that pays best Sun Unmnces for Cattle Under Blass The matter of lighting and wanning houses by the sun is getting to be understood partially at least But the barns have thus far been neglect ed There are very few if any to be seen that are lighted either sufficiently to secure the health of the animals or for the purpose of economy It is an exceptional thing to find glass windows of any size opening into the apartments in which cattie or sheep or horses are kept Their place is supplied so far as it is supplied at all bv wood en doors turning on hinges or sliding These are opened on pleasant days and they let in a Mttle air but scarcely the suniight When the weather is cold they have to be shut and thus the light and warmth are kept out when they are most'needed armers have tried to remedy the evil as far as they might by making their yards open towards the South with sunny sheds and letting the animals spend the middle of the day in these fa severe weather however this is a poor shift And it often happens that a positive injury comes of the sheds for they are put on the south side of the stables and thus shut off the sun entirely from these and prevent its entering even at the little windows when they are open Now it is perfectly plain what should be done The stable should have its long south wall filled with glazed windows These should be furnish ed wi th board shutters to close at night or in cold cloudy weather to prevent the rapid cooling from the surface of the glass The expense involv ed at first would not be large the saving ever after wards weuld be great If any room is well closed around half its from the west point by the north to the east and set with glass in the other half there are few days of none except the dark ones that it cannot be kept at a comfortable temperature There is no doubt about this at all In such a room the stock will thrive Care will be needed in some of the warmest weather to see that the heat does not become excessive which of course the shutters may regulate Besides the gain in health and better thrift we have no doubt the saving in fodder only would pay for the glass fa a single season Cattle have to eat as we do I to keep warm Burning up meal and hay to warm them is a costly process Yet this is exactly what many an economical farmer does who would grudge the expense of a cheap window that would let the sun to do it Then when it is ail the beast can do to make up fire enough to keep itself from freezing it has nothing to spare to be stored up in fat or sent off if it be a cow fa milk Jbit is ennoentrntod forwl laid np milk is concentrated food given away To be sure the animal system needs food for other purposes be sides maintaining warmth yet this is a very important use of it and the only one with re spect to which we can economize except by spar ing the animal unnecessary or excessive motion which also makes waste The cheap and free gifts of nature men have always been apt to overlook We are only begin fa*g to find out how to use the air and sunshine for ourselves We have not thought of the animals that we have the care of yet at all We predict that fifty years hence the cold dark barns we now have will lie remembered and looked on if any of them are still standing as wonders of discomfort and wastefulness Nobody will think then of raising cattle in any other way in these cold climates except under glass California The San rancisco Bulletin of ebruary 221 contains accounts of the attempts to procure oil from the asphaltum of southern CaHiomia As many as a dozen refineries for this purpose were in operation in San rancisco atone thne and an oily substance was produced but not petroleum or anything that would answer its puroose The asphaltum was obtained in a semi Mqui state from the natural springs experienced chemists were employed and a great variety of experiments were tried but nothing was pro duced of any value and after sinking large sums of money the refineries all stopped business Not one of them is now in operation That there are many natural asphaltum springs in California is evident but nobody has as yet succeeded in pro ducing oil or any other valuable substance from them There may be petroleum in California en 1 so there may be in Massachusetts but there is no evidence that it has been found in either state This is the present position of the evi dence as set forth in the California papers and by ths state geologists and state assayer of Califor Dia Of course anybody has a right to bore for oil wherever he pleases and to spend all the money he chooses in the operation provided it be his own money and not that of his neighbor obtained by false pretenses The Museum of Comparative Zoology The annual report for 1864 of what is popularly known as Prof Agassiz's museum at Cambridge has been presented to the Legislature The mu tism has been enriched during the year with a large number of specimens many of them very rare and valuable It needs greatly an addition to its space The present building is crammed full from attic to cellar and although there is perfect order in the arrangement many things are inaccessible Three courses of lectures were delivered during the year two by Prof Agassiz and one by Mr A Agassiz The resources of the museum from private sources and its established funds amounted to $24210 Among the reports of Prof Agassiz assistants those on mammalia and birds are by Mr A Allen of Springfield who seems to be an earnest and industrious student of natural history if we may judge from his per sonal contributions to the different departments of the museum during the yoai to the mamma Ka 25 specimens birds 112 reptiles 26 insects 508 total J31 The Tribune in arguing for another peace proclamation to the rebels assumes that what the rebel leaders say is true and that the entire southern people are liable to be hung for treason and their property confiscated if they submit to the constitution and the laws therefore it is not reasonable to expect their submission The Tribune forgets the amnesty proclamation which offers full pudon to all but the leaders of the rc bellion whenever they choose to renew their al legiance aud swear by the emancipation procla mation Nor has pardon been withheld in any case when asked for from those not included in the amnesty offer President Lincoln is not apt to err on the side of severity and the danger is that ho will pardon too many rather than too few of the traitors who have brought so much suffer ing upon the country If the call of the Tribune now seconded by the Washington Chronicle is for a more liberal offer of amnesty than that already made very few of the forty mil lions" will agree to it The government of Nora Scotia has not yet acted upon the proposed plan of a confederation to include all the North American British provinces bnt there is no desire among the mari time provinces for a union with Canada and if a vote were to be taken in Nova Scotia it would doubtless result in defeating the pioposition But the maritime provinces are not averse to union perse and the government of Nova Scotia is about proposing a plan of confederation to New Brunswick Prince Island and Newfoundland There is a strong probability that this plan will be adopted and in anticipa tion of favorable action labor upon public works in Nova Scotia which was broken off when the larger scheme was propoaed has been resumed This will necessitate a change of policy on the part of Canada which has already voted by a large majority in favor of the confederation of all the provinces The Emigrant Aid company has made arrange ments by which women can go to Portland Ore gon from Boston by way of Aspinwall for about $150 each if they go in families The Oregonians say they do not want teachers but housekeepers women who can cook aud sew and do all kinds of domestic work Strong healthy girls are needed for There is no call for aud biue stockings The immediate in ducements are good wages with a fair prospect of matrimony As the emigration is not likely to be larger than the aid company can attend to it is presumed the legislature will not be called upon to take any action in the matter We are informed by telegraph that the Wash ington Chronicle had another peace article ri day morning regarded as significant in view of the president's departure for Grant's headquar The Chronicle advocates a liberal policy towards the rebel leaders to prevent further bloodshed and says there is a growing conviction that the leaders on both sides have now under discussion some project that points towards a suspension of hostilities All if not it is the first time anything not insignificant has appeared in the Chronicle The fast proclamation of Gov Buckingham of Connecticut is remarkable for its honesty It points out the reasons that actually exist for hu miliation and fasting and wastes no words in mawkish sentiment Our public faults and weaknesses are thus tersely set forth just claims of our national government are not yet fully recognized nor has rebellion against its authority ended Righteousness is not established nor is slavery abolished Our armies are not always victorious our eons are still falling in battle and suffering hunger dis ease and imprisonment at the hands of public enemies Selfishness and corruption are fouud in positions of responsibility and trust and are seen in efforts to avoid an equitable share of pe cuniary aud personal obligations to the nation The oath of fidelity to the constitution and to high official duty hasneccntly been taken with a stammering tongue in the presence of and to the reproach of the American people" Condition of the Confederacy ANOTHER SLAP AT DAVIS A report was made in the confederate house similar to that of the senate in reply to scolding message but no action was taken upon it It says that appropriations have been made for an army half a million strong which should be enough and that the conscription is already so sweeping as to impair the productive power of the country and injure the public service in other respects with no compensating advantage In fact like the senate document it tells Davis in substance that the congress aud the country have done all they can and if he cannot now conquer a peace there is no use in trying to do it NO IGHT IN THE NEGROES Richmond papers of Tuesday state that the first company of colored recruits was expected to parade ou Monday but the show was postponed because they had not received their uniforms and equipments The recruiting is reported to be going on rapidly One patriotic citizen offers to buy ten slaves and free them if they will enlist and another owing 50 will give half of them The Examiner says The conscription of negroes in Richmond and Petersburg is carried on with diffi culty Guards are posted at every avenue of escape and a camp of instruction is established at Belle Island where the colored soldiers are kept under strict surveillance but many get away iu spite of till precaution There is a great panic amoug the blacks and much reluctance among whites upon the question of arming the slaves" Kirby Smith is reported to have 25000 negro troops organized and equipped in the trans Mis sissippi department TOO MANY MOUTHS IN RICHMOND The Examiner proposes that the families of all who have deserted the rebel cause and gone North shall ie seut after them It says there are five or six thousand such in Richmond and as the supply of provisions is now limited it will be a great gain to get rid of them THE LEADERS CALLED TO ACCOUNT The Milledgeville (Ga) Union protests its con tinued attachment to the rebel cause but asserts that it is time to have a reckoning with the lead ers It says men fear the people and well they may They do not want the books oveihauled They do not want to give an ac count of their stewardship for fear hey may no longer be permitted to be steward If the people want a convention it is their right and their privilege and we are not afraid to trust them If there is auy foundation for the report put forth by some of the administration journals that there is a disposition in some quarters to sell us out or give us away to England ranco and Spain and turn us over to colonial vassalage to those powers then certainly the people have a right to be heard in convention before the trans fer is made Or if that other report is true that our rulers have received proposals of recognition on condition of the abolition of slavery then the people should be heard in convention before any such bargain is made for neither the president nor congress nor both together have any right or power to abolish slavery without the consent of the people If the people waut a convention they will have one in spite of all the editors or soldiers in the state" LOW SPIRITS THE MATTER The Montgomery (Ala) Mail thinks that all that ails the confederacy is depression of spirits and of mon of men of men of all men who have their interest at stake owe it to that country to combat this disease of depression which is laying hold on the country aud sapping the vitals oi its power both at home aud in the army" Town Elections for ISO (J HAMPSHIRE COUNTY Clerk and treasurer Philo Chanfn
