The MUSEUM AT THE PARK.-A gentleman
named Barnard has issued circular In regard
to the establishment Of q respectable and we'll
regulated museum, devoted 70 natural curiosi-
ties, mineralogy, chemistry, conchology, me-
chanics, the fine arts, and SO forth, and he in
vites subscriptions TO the stock and contribu-
lions 10 the museum. We should be happy to
aid Mr.. Barnard in his undertaking, as we
have no respectable establishment Of that kind
in this city, were 1t not for the fact that in
metropolis like this the great museum ought to
belong TO the public, like the Geological
Gardens and British Museum Of London and
the Jardins des Plantes Of Paris We have,
at the Park, the nucleus Of q great public
museum, which already attracts crowds Of
visitors, and only needs the attention and
patronage Of our citizens 10 develop into
something worthy Of the metropolis The gov
eminent has in Its archives and at the Patent
Once duplicates Of historical and other curiosi-
ties which Il can well spare for the Park mu-
scum. Our consuls and see captains should be
called upon 10 collect and contribute articles
valuable for an institution Of this kind. In the
Knickerbocker kitchen of the Sanitary Fair
there were many things that ought to be en-
trusted 10 the public for permanent preserve
ton. II the Park Commissioners will take an
interest in this matter, issue circulars and call
for contributions, the Park museum will soon
supersede the necessity Of any private estab-
lishment Of this sort.

Much curiosity is manifested in this

that is otunderstood at all. What is the
government going to do with him, they
ask. The truth is, these people doyn not
yet comprehend that they have been in re-
6eliion against the legitimate government.
The rebel leaders have thoroughly educa~
ted them into the conviction that the
Southern Gonfederacy became an estab-
ltshed government the moment it was set
mp, with equal rights and privileges with
the United States or France, aud that in
the war they have been the Injured party.
Or it they did wrong in separating from
