LETTER FROM COLORADO.
COLODADO SPRI.jiOS, Col, March 7, 1671.
There is perhaps no State in the
Union, that has such diversified min
eral and agricultural deposits and
productions, as Colorado. Here is
produced all the grains of other
States, and all other farm products,
as well. Not, however,in the abun
dance of Illinois, for farming lands
aro limited.: The whole range of the
Bock Mountains, lying in this Terri
tory, is full of minerals. 'Let me
enumerate them : Gold, silver, lead,
iron, coal, ,marble,i limestone, fire
clay, petroleum, gypsum, and first
class building stone, and forests of
lumber on her mountain sides. With
such resources as these, the future of
Colorado can be no guesswork; it is
bound to be , a great and
_wealthy
State.
From away north, beginning at
Central City, clear down the range,
gold and silver is found in abrind-'
ance;zoal is also plenty, bat the best
of this is found farther down at Can
yon Cit 3 ; here coal and iron abound,
—coal fitted for gas and steam. mak
ing, and also for reducing ores, A'
litth3 south of Canyiin City, there. are
great iron mountains, which contain
inexhaustible beds of pure magnetic
and carbonaceous iron ore. South
Pueblo, which is situated forty miles
beloW on the Arkansas river. must
be the great manufacturing and ship
ping/point for all the iron mined in
this part of the Territory._ Its natu
ral situation will bring to it a great
manufacturing interest' —having in
the Arkansas a water-power equal to
the 'Connecticut river, and having
railroad commuications already bath
with the mines and with the other
parts of the Territory. Itmight not
be amiss just here to let .you know
where South Pueblo is situated.

make arrangements with the : rail-,

reduction on his car fare for himself

1 In the old times, whei a man de
cded to move west, it involved a
long journey, . through trackless
wastes; ho had to lease behind frien4
and acquaintanc, law, order, civitil
zation, church a n d educational'Privi:
!Ogee, and often had to settle in some
place far removed! even from neight
hers. How different is all this now.
Now the settler - brings all theist
things: with him, and sets up his
church and his school, his social and.
pe t litical organizations, and often is
surrounded by the old familiar faces
o(his friends, for often five or 'six
fitOlies will come together. The
snceess of this plan has been won
&dal, so far as this colony of South
Pueblo is concerned; its affairs are
in the bands of some of the best men

Pesident of the Pennsylvania R. R.,
is one of the frustees, as is also Sam

mate the value of the natural resour

In, Fremontcounty, in the Arkansas'
,valley, some thirty-fire miles west of
Pueblo, are found bituminous coal,
iron ore, copper, lead, marble, etc.,
in inexhaustible quantities. The coal
deposits here have been opened for,
some time, and have been found su
perior to any in Northern Colorado.
Twelve miles from this coal land,
is 'a large mountain of magnetic iron
ore, a deposit not inferior in , 'quality
orl quantity to' the famous iron moun
ta ii of Missouri. This -mass of ore
situated - a few miles up Grape
-ek, a: small tributary to the Ar
nsas river. In addition the won
rfal deposits of coal and ' iron al
.dy known, there are indications
still richer discoveries to be made
the future. Veins of coal ,more
th n twenty feet in thickness, have
been found in the neighborhood of
Trinidad, on the southern border of
the Tarritory.
In the vicinity of Canyon City, pe
trolenm wells have - been located—the
deepest of which is only sixty feet.
A 'refinery is now in operation which
prOdnces first-Class oil; all_ that' is
needed heremare capital, and
these wells can e made to produce
large quantities of oil, and a large
business built up. On this same re
gibn lying just west and south of
the. Pueblo, are ° found gold, silver,
mid copper. The veins of copper al
relady opened shOw ores that contain
40 per cent. of copper. In fact; tarn
which way you will, the country
seems filled with minerals, and only
awaiting the strong, band of.the mi.
ner to tarn it into wealth.
• It cannot be a great while befszre
this quiet valley will resounds with
the roar of iron farnacea and rolling

money than he would have to pay in
the East, thus saving the profits of
the middlemen, and the freight.
These two items alone - constitute a
profit. A woolen' mill established

thirty-six years, was brought l i nefoie

AN NOIDENT OF THE REBELLION.
I i the evening of the first of April,
Mr. Nicolay, the private secretary,of
the resident, brought me a package
- con sing papers, instructions and ex
ecutive orders of a most extraordi
nary character. One of them direct

where ho was employed in-confiden

,Commodore Pendergrast, who
hadijag, arrived at ' Hampton.lloads
from the'West Indies with tho Cunt
berl4nd, was ordered to repair forth
with to'Vera.Cruz on acc o unt of al
lege i l complications. Onthe Cunt
berlt ttd and Potehatan the navy -de
partment was relying to cooperate
witii the military for the protection.
of 41ae navy yard at Isierfolk in case
of difficulty. :All the Orders relating
to t e navy wore issued by the secre
i
,tary of state without consultation
with the secretary of the navy, or
any cabinet consultation whatever.
But the most extraordinary and ir
regular, if not illegal, order in that
remarkable package directed a re
organization of the navy department,,
and the establishment of a new bu
reau, in which I was- commanded to

tions where he should- have. knowl

looking over, these documents it was
evident to me that the President bad

or, that he• was as unfit for the office
of Chief, executive as is represented
in, the " Memorial Address." I lost
not a momentin waiting upon. him,,
and reading to him - these extraordi

bad hurriedly and'withotit examina

by Secretary Seward for 'a very dif

supposed was merely formal; that he
was not aware of their contents; has
trusted entirely to Mr. Seward ; and
whom conld he trait if not the secre

1 PIANO MAKING.-
It takes nearly , four years to make
one instrument ; three years and
soma months to - season the wood,
and three months to form the. parts.
No less than sixteen different kinds
of wood enter into the formation,
embracing the softest, toughest,Liard
est, heaViest, lightest, and most com
pact grain. , In the " action " alone
there are eleven different kinds of
wood. I Thepiano, moreover, is cos
mopblitan, horn the fact that the
vegetable, animal.and mineral king
doms of - the world contribute to its
composition". While spruce and pine
from Northern New York, maple
from Westliassachusetts, pine and
ash from Michigan,cherry from Penn
sylvania, walnut froni Indiana, and
Poplar ..from West Virginia; after
passing through chopperso3awyers,
raftmen and inspectors, as 'wellAs
buckskin ofl , ionr kinds,, first 'finin
the wild deer and then from the
manufacturers, are: , necessary, this
country does not furnish all the ma
terial
required. Six kinds of felt,
four' kinds of metal,. besides silver
for the Plate, silver-gilded strings,
cad iron, many kinds of paper, as
also ivory, ebony and varnish, are ad
imported 'from other countries. In
an • ordinary piano there are 500
screws, 170 strings, 85 key s, and 520
key and •tuning pins. In a seven
octave square about 90 square feet' of
veneering is used, and in the. "action".
a'one there' are no, less 5072
pieces. From the foregoing, some
conception of the requisites of a
square, upright, or grand piano may
be fornacd. First in the, manufacture
of a.piano conies the 'seasoning 'of
the, wood, which is dono by ,two
years' exposure. Next it is subjected
to several months' storage in an open
building, each piece being separated
to get an air drying, and then a quar
antine of several months in a build
ing heated with steam, followed by
ten stages of hot air drying dpring
`the., process . , of manufacture. Each
manipulation of the wpod and eaph
coat of varnish is followed by a dry
ing process; and 'in the case of the
outside rosewood pieces a regular
roasting. The heaviest pieces
,of
wood' being worked by machinery,
they, tog ether with the legs, are
carved by the hands of skillful artists=
to the required shape, and the sound
ings-and other boards shaved to the
requisite thinness by a planing ma
chine. Then comes the gluing, bend
ing and veneering, each followed by
the drying, all of which is accompa
nied with thei most minute and elab
orate detail..l Next in order are the
cases and tops, which are varnished
five times, each coat being entirely
scraped off and 'another put on until
the grain of the wood appears, when
they receive several more coats of
polish varnish, and are again scraped
and then rubbed down with pumice`
stone, again "varnished ; again rubbed,
and then polished by hand. The iron
frames, after being Japanned, receive
several coats of paint, and are then
Tubbed down and bronzed, after
which they are ornamented in shaded
gilt. The complicated details of fit
ting the frames, finishing the sound- 1
ing boards, making the bridges, up
-rights, strings and pint#, as also the
delicate scroll saw manipulations in
making the ivory keys and wooden
lace for-music rests, all baffle descrip-
Lion. The ivory, like everything else,
is submitted to the, drying process
to prevent wafping. Next in order
is placing the 'sounding board, fitting
the strings and key-board; and mak
ing the " movement," which includes
the pedal arrangement, hammers,
dampers, and inumerable other con
trivances, which differ in the various
instruments, is so complicated and
elaborate in its construcelon as to
defy description. As it is well known,
each key struck, going a certain dis
tonce, which differs in each key,
raises a' grooved arrangement con
meting with the hammer of that key
which, as the grooved connection
slips out, hits the wire and flies back
to the first position. Each hammer
flies a different distance, and is fur
ther regulated by the felt coverings.
The pedal opera'es on the wires,' by
strips of felt which press against
them. The movement being plaCed
in position the wires are strung and
other finishing touches given when,
the instrument having been carefully
regulated by a tuning-fork, the tone
and modulation is perfect, antA,,. the
manufacture of the piano completed.

How BIRDS LEARN TO SING AND
&MD.—What is instinct? It is the
"faculty of performing complex acts
absolutely without instruction, or
previously acquired knowledge" In
stinct, then, would . enable militia's
to perform spontaneously acts which,
, to
the case of man, pre-suppose rati
ocination, a log ical train of thought;
but when we tst the observed facts
which are usually put forward to
prove power of lusting, it is found
that they are seldom conclusive. It
was on such grounds that the song
of birds was taken‘to be innate;;
a very ready exßeriment- would
have bhown. that' it comes from the
education they'receive. 'During the
last century; Barrington brought up
some linnets, taken from the nest in
company with larks of sundry vale
ties,l arid found that every one of the
linnets adopted completely the song
of the mater set over them, so that
now thes s linuets—larks by naturali-.
zation- form a company apart, when
placed among birds of their own spe
cies. Even the nightingale, whose
native sound. is so sweet, exhibits,
under domestication, a' considerable
readiness to' imitate other singing
birds. The song of the bird is, there
fore, determined by its education,
and the same mast be true to. nest
-building. A. bird brong,ht up in a
cage does not construct the nest pe
culiar 'to its species. ln 'vain will
you supply all the necessary materi
als; the birds will emploY them With
out skill, and will oftentimes even , re
nounce all purpose of building any
tq'ng like a nest. Does not this
well knoin fact prove that, instead
of being gnidei by instinct, tbe bitd
learns how to construct his nest, just
as a man learn.= how to build a house?

SLEEi'DIG-ROOIII3.- The
questien whether or not plants ara
unwholesome sleeping-room has
called forth 'Ei•-• curious diversity of
opinion. It is agreed , that by day
they , emit o xygen , , and are therefore
-eminentlyhealthful ; but it'is -gen
erally
believed that =by night they
gh'p;out carbonic acid,' and -are son
segtently irejndicial to animal life . .
Reeent, experiments by Professor
Kedzie, of Michigan 4griculturtil
College, may perhaps be regardsd as
conclusive on the subject: The pro ,
festsOr ansilizea volumes of air taken
about noon froin different parts of
thelcollege greenhouse, containing
6,(p0 plants, after it h'ad been‘closed
for twelve'hours, and found -- that the
car acid amounted-on - the aver
agv)' to 1.39 in 10,000 parts. =He then
did the same just before sunrise, and
finar the average to be 314, thus;
her hinks, Clearly demonstraling that .
.the accumulation of noxionigail was
greater in darkness than lin daylight.
At the.same time, however, ,out , door
air contains four parts of carbonic
lei in 10,000. At the worst,,how
f '
'4•ll4orcue air in the greenhouse was
4c justly better than "pare country
.
" and the emission - of . Carbonic
aciArgas was , barely sufficient to cotm
terbalanca the productiOn of oxygen
dnring daylight. Professor Kedzie
concludes that, these being the' facts
of the case Wbere 0,000 plants are
collected, a dozen or ,two in a bed
room cannot possibly he injuriou.s. •
