WATER FOR Mich Cows.-A CORES
pondent of the Stock Journal says that from
observations he has long been satisfied that
plenty of water is not only essential to the
health of mich cows, as it is indeed to all
animals, hut it contributes largely to the
How of milk. He found that by inviting
cows tn drink large quantities of water. the
quantity of milk yielded by them could he
increased several quarts per day, without
materially injuring its quality, and that the
milk obtained is approximately proportion
ed to the quantity of water drank. Cows
which were stall fed with dry fodder. gave
only from to 10 quarts of milk per day, at
once produced from 12 to IA quarts daily.
when their fnod was moistened by mixing
with it from IS to % quarts OF water per

The HEBREW RACE.-Latc foreign news
announces the death of Baron james Roths-
child and joachim Rossini, at Paris, each
the foremost man of his age in his depart
ment, Rothschild the greatest financier. and
Rossini the unrivaled musical composer.
They were both of Hebrew blood, which
shows that that race, though anathemized,
despised, villiied and trampled under
foot for nearly two thousand years, still
possesses wonderful vigor Nor are these
two the only names that illustrate their
race. Nearly every department of art and
letters In modern times boasts of Israelites
as among its noblest ornaments. The Prime
Minister of England is Hebrew of pure
blood. The great actress, Rachel. belonged
to the same stock. German art and litcra-
ture are covered with their names-
Mcndelssohn and jacob among the rest.
In war alone the race is less conspicuous.
though it has been said that Massena and
Sault-very respectable military charac-
ters-were of that race Both for genius
and SUCCESS in the world it is blood that
compares favorably with any other cxtant.-

LuEATIC AsYLUM-The Annual Report
for the year ending October S1st, 1868 OF the
Superintendent of the Insane Asylum has
been sent to the Legislature the first nine
months under the superintendent of Dr..
Fisher, the late Superintendent, and the re-
mainder under the auspices of DR.. Grissom,
the present Superintendent.
The number of inmates now under treat
ment is 217-10O of whom arc Females. The
number of pay patients is 81. Wake fur
nishes the largest number of unfortunates,
viz: 10. Next in order is Granville, which
sends H. Chatham sends 10, and Cumber-
land Mecklenburg and New Hanover, 0 each.
There are thirty-seven applications for adj
mission pending, which cannot be received
for want of room.
The Superintendent expresses the opinion
that insanity in this State is largely on the
increase. In view of this fact and incapaci-
ty of the Institution for even present de-
mands, the Superintendent suggests the ne
cessity Of providing additional room, and,
even, the propriety of erecting another Asy-
lum in some suitable locality west of Raleigh.
He also advises an appropriation for i'm
provements to secure the building against
the chances of destruction by fire. e

dent Johnson was anxious to bid defiance
to a law of Congress General Grant,
like every patriotic citizen, complied in
the most faithful manner with its pro-
visions. In pursuing their respective
paths of duty in this respect, the Gene
raj was right--the President was
wrong. A base attempt has been made
to affect the veracity of General Grant,
1t is the first time in his eventful career
that such an assault has been planned.
Is Is singular that the President has
been obliged to attack so many promi-
|nent men during his accidental term.
In all his contests with persons, when
character was involved, the Executive
has been defeated. We predict that such
a result will ensue, if President Johnson
persists in his narrow-minded and des-
picable efforts to destroy the confidence
of the people in the patriotism and ster-
ling worth of the great soldier of the age

Our readers must have perused with
n deep interest the kilograms that have
appeared in the PosT during the past
week, relating to- the misunderstanding
that exists between President johnson
and General Grant. The high position
that these persons occupy in the gov
ernment, attracts the attention of every
American citizen who wishes to see
officials maintain unblemished their
dignity and honor. A brief statement
of the facts is necessary to understand
the issues which have been made by the
distinguished parties, and upon which
the people must render q verdict. Presi-
dent johnson desired to remove Secre-
tary Stanton from his post in the Cabi-
net. The law regulating the Tenure of
certain civil officers" provides that the
Secretary of War shall hold his office
subject to removal by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate" The
charges preferred against Mr.. Stanton
were duly investigated by the proper
committee of the Senate, and deemed
unsatisfactory and, in pursuance of the
laws of the land, General Grant, Secre-
tary of War dd tnterin1,at once ceased to
discharge the functions thereof The in
tentions of the President have been
frustrated and E. NJ. Stanton continues
to labor in behalf of the United States
as one of its most important public
servants. If appears that the name of
General Grant was designedly used by
the President to protect him from the
darts Of censure that would be hurled
by the friends of Mr.. Stanton, if he
attempted to fill the place of the latter
by one fashioned after his own political
heart. 1t was expected that the hero of
twenty battles would disobey the
statutes of his country, in order that the
Supreme Court might be required to
decide respecting the constitutionality
Of a certain law. But General Grant,
adopting the well:known opinion of Gen.
jackson, acted as he understood the
Tenure of ONCE bill and thereby dis
regarding the Interpretation Of the
President. The latter, while affected
by the charein that followed the tri-
umph of the Secretary, Indignantly
asserts that Gen. Grant has been guilty
Of duplicity and insubordination. We
are unable to perceive any facts which
Justify the President in making so grave
charge. One thing is evident. Presi-

Achilles from his war with the Greeks
There Is no record in which Democracy has
been progressive. The WAT with Mexico vir-
tually gave us nothing-while under a Wing
administration, it gave California TO the ma
hon and wealth OF gold to the world. The
progress ofscience increased with the decrease
of Dem ocracy, while the iron bands of the
Pacific Railroad commenced under Republi-
can administration, is to be finished und1 n an
other of the same character, TO give perfec-
tion to ou- national power. Montana does
not need the assistance of Democracy, (only
as it claims for future progress and prosperi-
ty,) but that of Republicanism. Treason
ought not to nestle amid the gorgeous mcur-
tain recesses or bask in the fertility of is
plains, nnless the gospel of the coustie1tion
OF the United States be given them, Co convert

she has yet known, and all the more
valuable because of their imperishabil-
ity. We can learn lesson from the
success of Mr.. Esler at Argenta. After
the st. Louis Company, at an expense of
$4,000, erected furnace there, worked
the mines one season and abandoned
them, he erected, at n cost of 5000, a
furnace, which is in every respect. a com
plete- success. The materials of which
it was built are all productions of the
Territory. The result of his experiment
win fill the abandoned dwellings of Ar
genta with busy population as soon as
spring opens. What is to prevent q
similar experiment here? We have the
lodes of silver and gold, equally favored
with fiuxing metals, and many Of them
superior in richness, with the certainty
that success need no longer be the sport
of experiment. Our business men should
take the subject in hand, and make it a
matter of deliberation and action. One
or two furnaces, costing 5000 each,
will demonstrate TO the satisfaction of
capitalists that they can invest capital
here with the certainty of large returns
This fact established, and Browns gulch,
Mill Creek, Wisconsin gulch, will soon
be filed with furnaces for the purpose of
working the argentiierous ores so abun-
dant in those localities. Can the citi-
zens of Virginia make n more profitable
investment for themselves or their city
We need but look at our present condi-
tion squarely to be convinced that un-
less something is done to unlock the
gold and silver quartz of this vicinity,
our resources for continued growth and
prosperity must fail. At Helena, the
quartz mills are reported TO be in sue
cessful operation. The lodes are no
richer, no more perfectly defined, no
more prolific than ours. but they have
fallen into the hands of miners and men
| of experiences. Several towns are des-
tined TO grow mp in the Deer Lodge va
ley during the next year. as results of
successful quartz mining; but the boast
ed mines of Phillipsburgh are not so
rich as, and much more refractory than,
the ore yielded by the Alameda, within
two miles of this city. 1t is the enter
prise that tells the story. Let cur citi-
zens put q shoulder to the wheel. and
the machinery of success will move us
on to prosperity. A public meeting OF
citizens, at this time, to consider the
expediency of making some effort to de
velop our silver lodes, could not fail TO
be attended by beneficial results. Let
the whole subject be fairly presented 70
the people and they will see their inter
ests in Immediate action. 1t cannot fail.

! On Tuesday evening the House convened at
u P. NJ. Hon. Mr. Wright in the chair
announced the House ready to. receive com
munications from the Governor. His Excel
lency, Gov. Vanbrocklin, addressed the Hon.
body, saying that in view of the facts that
our Territory has been prosperous and our ef-
forts have been crowned with success during
the past year, also that our country has been
delivered from the ravages of a destructive
internal war which we had reason 30 deplore,
we should now rejoice in the favorable pros
poets of our young Territory. He said the du-
ty of the Hon. body then convened should be
faithfully discharged by diligently attending
the necessities and interests of the Terrific
~, politically and financially. He earnestly
ia plored the Hon. body to revoke the memo
rial relative to reconstruction law, which
had but recently pass the House, arguing
that Congress had been constitutiOnally vested
with the power to propose conditions of re-
construction TO the Southern States, and these
conditions were so liberal to have extorted
encomiums and expressions of appreciation
from the mouths of rebel Generals. lie incul-
Gated the importance of attending to the
Government should see that the adopted citi-
zens of the country should be protected and
their rights acknowledged, as if native born,
and that il is the duty of cititiEens cheerfully
to submit to the dictates of the Government
and obey the laws and the Constitution.
The discussion of the bill before the House
was then considered in order. The bill by the
Hon. John Donegsn, denisd the right of suf
frage to all persons who cannot read or write
granting the right to all Others, regardless oi
/ rnce, color or sex. The House was about
| equally divided in sentiment in reference e
this conditional Suffrage Bill. The prinei
pal arguments in favor Of the bill, by Hon
Mr.. Donegan and Others, were, that the pas
| sage of the bill would stimulate the illiterat,
\ to become educated, and have n tendency Il
| improve society and elevnte the people of oui
| Territory in the scale of intelligence, and
| that females should be allowed the right o.
] suffrage, inasmuch rs their interests are ideD
tilted with those of men.
| Those who opposed tie bill, argued that

individuals, il would disentitle many wht
are intelligent, and who can discriminat
more clearly and arrive at conclusions NOR,
accurately, than Others who possess but LITTLE
