TVBLSO INtri'KUCTXOlC.
Owing to the fact that no provision of law has been made
requiring the clerks of the County Boards to make their re-
turns to the State Superintendent in time to allow that officer
to comply with the law requiring a full Beport from the
several departments soon aft^ the close of the fiscal year, the
Report of the Department of Public Instruction is not yet
prepared. I recommend that the necessary provision of law
be made, so that this important duty may be attended to here-
after in due season. The present State Superintendent has
fbrnished me, from the statistics in his possession, the follow-
ing facts and figures :
The whole number of children in the State between the ages
of 4 and 20, entitled to share in the common fund is 241,647,
being an increase of 27,761 over the number reported for the
previous year.
The number of pupils who have attended the public schools
is 163,613.
The number of school districts and parts of districtB report-
ed is 4378, and the number of school-houses in the State 2945.
The average amount of monthly wages to male teachers was
$24.60, and to female teachers $15.16.
Tlie amount apportioned to the Schools in March, 1857, was
66 cents to each pupil. The apparent amount to be appor-
tioned this year is about $230,000, which would be 05 cents
to each pupil; but in view of the probable delay ^ pay-
ments to the funds, that average cannot be £urly expected.
The productive fund of the Department now amounts to
over three millions of dollars. It is a fund which should be
sacredly guarded by the officers who have it in charge. The
Legislature will feel it to be a pleasure as well as a duty to see
that the necessary laws are passed to cause the greatest good to
be derived from the distribution of the Fund. The impression
is very general throughout the State that the duties of the De-
partment have not hitherto been discharged with proper effi-
dency, and jour attention is invited to a careful consideration
of the snbjeot
BEKBVOLKNT INSTmTTIONS.
The JEleport of the Trustees of the Institute for the Education
of the Deaf and Dumb, shows that 57 pupils have enjoyed the
benefits of that Institution during the past year. The attention
of the Legislature is invited to the Beport in detail, showing
the expenditures of the past year, and the amount asked for
during the present year. There must have been some misun-
derstanding in the Legislature of last year in regard to the con-
dition of the buildings of this Institution ; the Act approved
March 6th making an appropriation of $15,000 '' for the par-
'pose of putting up and finishing ofif the main or centre build-
ing," while by the present Report the Trustees ask for the sum
of $21,500 for the same purpose, before the building can be
ready for the reception of pupils. In the present financial con-
dition of the State, it is for you to decide, after a sufficient ex-
amination of the subject, whether it i? expedient to make such
appropriation. The Institution appears to be under good man-
agement, and to be conferring great blessings upon an unfortu-
nate dass of persons, who deserve our warmest sympathy. —
The amount asked for the support of the Institation is about
the same as last year.
The Report of the Trustees of the Institute for the Blind
shows that 20 pupils were in attendance during the last session,
and that the. condition of the buildings is such that a large in-
crease of pupils inay be soon accommodatrd. No estimates of
appropriations for the present year are submitted with the Re-
port, the Trustees leaving that duty to be performed through
the annual visiting committee of the Legislature. The Report
speaks very encouragingly of the progress of the pupils in the
acquisition of various branches of knowledge, and the Institu-
tion seems to be in a flourishing condition, so &r as its means
of accommodating pupils will admit
The first Report of the Commissioners of the State Hospital
for the Insane, exhibits the progress of that very important un-
dertaking, down to the 1st of October, 1857. The Oomttiis-
sioners have adopted the location near Madison, npon which a
'building for the same purpose was 'formerly eontmenced, and
have let the contract to responsible parties for.$T8,000 for- a
building which will accommodate 75 patients, and they expect
to be able to let the contracts for the various heating, cooking,
and other apparatus, at a sum which will bring the cost of the
edifice necessary for that number of patients,' within the aggre-
gate of $100,000. Their suggestions in relation to building
operations are commended to your attention. So far as is con-
sistent with just economy in the expenditures of the State,, this
and th^ kindred Institutions for the instruption, comfc'rt, well-
being, and cure of the unfortunate, should be liberally provi-
ded for, and brought to the highest condition of efficiency as
soon as is practicable.
Commissioners were appointed by my predecessor, according
to law, to locate and provide for the erection^ of a Hojuse of
Pefuge for juvenile offenders. Their report, containing matter
of much, interest, and mudh^valuable information upon this
subject, will be laidbeforeyou. The institution has been located
in the County of Waukesha, at a yery eligible and convenient
point for publiQ convenience. The benevolent ^object of insti-
tutions of the kind commends them strongly to, public patron-
age. It is to become a reform schooj, to reola'im and save. a
large class of youth from irretrievable ruin.. TJie system
adopted is one weljl devised for the pbjects and is ei^titled to
fiivor. The ^ans adopted ifor the building seem to be admirably
.calculated for the purpose. The building can bq Qompleted as
fest as public necessity requires. Eaph part will be . perfect in
itself to accommodate a limited number. The cbnimissioners
are able, experienced, and energetic men. a small additional
^^9lpriiKtion will be necessary to enable the conamissioners
to carry out the designs of the- Legislature.
The Heportof the Regents of the TJriiversity exhibits the
condition of that Institution during and. up to the dose' of the
last fiscal year. Tlie number of students in attehdanoe during
the year was 164, of wliom'4l w€**d Ja the former Collegiate

filled, "the new edifice of the Institution, which is now in pro-
gress of construction, will add greatly to its facilities for carry-
ing out the purposes of the munificent grant by Congress, The
State has accepted the trust, luod the Bepresentatives of the
people will doubtless feel it to be a pleasure to aid the efforts
of those who have the more immediate duty of discharging
that trust.
The report of the Executive Committee of the State liistor-
ical Society, Jan, I. 1858, shows. a library of over four thous;
and volnmes, ajad over four thousand unbound documents q,v4^
pamphlets,' together with a large number of uubou^d news-
paper, files, carefully preserved. The Society hoa a valuable
collection of about 40 oil paintii)g9, the most, of which are
^ portraits of Wisconsin Pioneers, and prominent public pxi^X^
and some are of persons of national celebrity — (hose of Dr.
Kane and Dr. Percival being among the additions of the
naat year. It has besides some curious additions to its cabi-
net^ rare old ipiaps and several hundred manuscripts. Under
thQ.patron^e Qf t&e State, the society has issued during the
paat ye^r itsboet annual volume. Since the organbeation- of
the Society «ii^ January, J 854, it has niet with unusual sucoess
— the i%^i;efip9 iof the library alone having (iver^ged ov<er^ne
Iboos^od rrotomes annually. The year past appears to have
ezMbited wmuch prosperity as any year preceeding, aod'its
influenee abfioad is giving, in many respects, inci^eafiaug hoiior
•and credit to tiie State. ' Itip worthy of the patronage of the
"Btate, and every reasonable faeility should be furnished by the
' Cegislatnre for its substantial prosperity. The officers of the
/
13
Society are entitled to great credit, for their enterprise and
efficiency, and deserve encouragement.
Under onr present financial embarraasmentB, it becomes,
however, a question for your consideration, whether it is pm-
dent to incur the expense of publishing its volume for the
year 1868, until the present debts of the State are paid. Hie
materials for the next volume will not be lost, nor the Society
injured, by the delay of a single year, in case such delay is
considered expedient.
AQEIODtTUBB.
The statistics presented in the report of the Secretary of
State, as the result of the inquiries of the assessors under the
law of the last session, exhibit an interesting view of the
growth of the State in agricultural, manufacturing and min-
eral wealth. It is to be regretted that quite a number of the
counties of the State have made no returns, so that the ag-
gregates are not as great as they should have been. Among
the counties thus delinquent were Adams, Bad Ax, La Crosse,
Marathon, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Pierce, Portage, Sauk, and
Waupacca, besides several of the more lately organized coun-
ties, whose returns would have increased the aggregates
much.
So far as returned, the principal items of production in the
' year 1856, were as follows :
Barley, 408,875 bushel*.
Com, 6,100,790 «
Oats, 6,312,804 "
Potatoes, 2,318,694 "
Rye, 220,531 •*
Wheat, 8,717,756 «
Butter, • . 6,655,686 pounds
Wool, 989,806 •*
Lead, raised, 22,706,700 **
The county of Grant not being returned, with its large min-
eral interest^ the last item gives but an imperfect idea of the
amount of lead raised in the State. ' '
II
upon the proe^rity of oar agricnltnral {nfcereet depends
die Bubetantial proeperitj of the State. The State Agricnl-
taral Society, and the large ntimber of Oonnty Agrionltaral
Societies already formed, are irorking great changes in pnb^
lie opinion, as to the importance of the farming interdbt.
More adequate provision should be made for thorough educa-
tion in scientific and practical agriculture. Many states are
now moving upon this question, and are founding agricultural
colleges and experimental farms, and are memorializiug Con-
gress for donations of public lands, to endow and sustain them.
Michigan, Ohio and New York petition for five hundred thou.
siand acres each, for themselves, and ask In addition that the
same amount be granted to each of the agricultural states.
A bill has been introduced in Congress for an appropriation
of six millions of acres for this purpose to the di£Eerent states.
The memorial of the Board of Education of the State of
Michigan, and of the faculty of the Agricultural College,
on that subject, is so apt that I quote from it. They repre-
sent that the course of study in that institution is ^^ insepara-
bly connected with a system of labor in the institution ; that
it is its design and policy to afford ample and thorough
education of the student physically, morally and iutellectual*
ly ; to ennoble the calling of agrieultare, and teach men to
increase the productions of the earth." They further repre-
sent, " that in a country so thoroughly agricultural as the
United "States, and contemplating the nature of the great
trust of the public lands with an enlightened and comprehen-
sive forecast, no more legitimate and no wiser disposition can
be made of limited portions of them, than for instruction of
men in multiplying the productions of the earth, and th«fl
eondudng to their comfMt, prosperity and higher civiKza<*
tioir:" I recommend that you join in memoriidising Oongruss
for the grant of lands to the different statee, for the purpose of
eetablishing in ibis State an Agripnltoral GoUege,up<m a perma-
aent basis. Our State and County Agricnltaral Societies have
been wisely established, and their a&iss ably and prodently
oon<hi^ed» Qt^t credit is due them for the ohango abnetdy
tdkiog piftee in the eetimatioQ ia which agricultural oconpa^
Horn are held. Tilling the soil isaaandeiit ecoapatiiMi; in:
itself the most honorable of i^iy engaged iaby civilized men.
Kq honorable man can look upon it with disrespect, and no
man who despises the occupation of cultivating die soil is fit

made in the lead mining regions, which are sources of greats
weallli to the State as well as to individuals. It is of much
moment that the State render every facility in its power, by
legislation, and if found practicable in the present stage of its
finances, by material aid, to futthdr discoveries as to the
character of the mineral lands and the position and conditioil'

to the public, open at regular biuiiiess hoars, and with offi-
cers well known to the oommnnitj in which thej reside ; and
it was, of consequence, anticipated that persona having such
bank bills, might present tiiem for payment at anj time, and
in default of payment haye them protested, so that they
could secure payment by the established legal method. It
could never have entered the minds of the framers of the
law, that bills should go into circulation, directly from the
Comptroller's office, without ever going into a bank or passing
over the counter of a bank in the ordii)ary course oi busi-
ness. I cannot regard such issues in any other light, than as
a manifest perversion of the spirit and intent of the law ; an
evasion of its terms, for the purpose of preventing bill-hold-
ers from obtaining payment* of their dues^ and thus far at
least, fraudulent in design. Whatever may be said of legiti-
mate banking as an abstract question, or its benefits as com-
pared with a currency of coin, this practice has certainly
rendered it impossible. Ko association^ however desirous,
can carry on a legitimate and honest business on real capital,
while such institutions as those alluded to are permitted to
exbt. The question is narrowed duwn to a single point —
Honest or Fraudulent Banking. Both cannot long exist at
the same time, and it is your duty to determine which shall
prevail, and whether the interests of the people of Wisconsin
in the premises, shall or shall not be protected. It is my
earnest wish that the great and gix)wing evil should be speed-
ily checked and removed, and no proper effort will be spared
by my Department to accomplish that result. An examina-
tion as to the manner in which one of that claas of banks was
started discloses Acts more or less appreciable to all persons,
and which cannot in justice be withheld here. In the case
alluded to stocks were issued at the Capital of Missouri, on
the 18th day of December ult., and were registered by the
Auditor of that State on the same day. On the S8th of the
same month they were assigned at St Louis, by the Presi-
dent of the Pacific Bailroad Company ; and on the 81st of
l3ie same month were assigned in the Bank ComptroUen'
17
Office of tliis Stitei aa. secnritj for t&e issues of- beoik notes.
On that day the receipts in the Treasovy of all fimcls wer6 a
little over two thousand dollars, as appears hj the booka in
the Treasurer's office. After that date no bnsineas was done,
no money receivM or disbursed^ until ihe fourth day of
the present month,' when the amonnt of $124^224,28, i?hich
was ia the Treksury on the Slst Dec, wa9 piaid oyer by the
retiring Treasurer to the present incumbent of that office,
and the sum of $19,000 of bank notes, issiled o(n theafcffe-
said Missouri bonds, and dated in July last, tens apart of the
fimds so paid over.
These notes had evidently but just been signed, and it might
be concluded, psssed directly from ihe Comptroller's to the
Treasurer's office. The bank was a new one, unheard of before,
so that the plate must have been engsiged under the order of
ih(B OomptroUer^ and the bills printed in advance of the issue
of the stocks by the^tate of Missouri and apparently signed
before their deposit in the Bank Department ; and the State
Treasurer must hate taken the currency in exchange for other
funds in the Treasury, before a doUa^ of it had been put into
circulation elsewhere. This itistitution is so vaguely located
as to be wholly inaccessible to the business public, It needs
but little sagadlty to foresee that if such banking is to be. tole-
rated, or if the Legislature at this 'session shall fail to provide
stringent reniedies for the evil„ tixat all legitimate banldng is
ended for the present, and wide spread financial ruin must
soon overtake the pebple and the State^ Another fjsict'in this
connection is well deserving of yoiir attention, and the appliba-
tion of a proper legislative correotlan. The- funds found: in
the Treasury by the new incumbent amounted' to the sum of
$124^4)28, nearly all in bank paper, except $2,457,86,
which was in gold and silver e6in, notwithstanding the law
prohibits the reosliving of: any* funds but coin in paymbnt of
public dues. It is apparent thkt whatever specie might reach
the Treasury, eonamandiDg as it dees! alai^e piremium, might
hold out a great temptation' to the Treasiireor'tO' etchange it
2
18
for currency. The effect of exchanging bank paper by any
bank at the Treaspry must work to the detriment of all insti-
tutions not similarly allowed the privilege. Li view of the
many ciroumstanees pointing to operations of this nature, and
the fact that they directly tend to peril the public interests
and put In jeopardy the funds of theJ^te, I recommend the
passage of a law prohibiting, under the severest penalties, the
State Treasurer from traflScking in, changing, loaning, or in any
manner, directly or indirectly, using any monies belonging to
the public on his own account, for any purpose whatsoever.
I also recommend the passage of a law, making it a high
crime for the Bank Comptroller, or any officer or person in
the Bank Department, to act as agent or depositor for any
person or association, dosigtring to establish any bank, or as
agent of any State for the sale of any of its stocks or other
evidences of debt, or to procure to be engraved for, or issue
to any person or banking association, any registered bills in
advance of the deposite of stocks as security, or to issue
such Ijills or notes to any person or bank to be put in circula-
tion in any other manner tlian through a regular banking
house located at some well known business point, and con-
veniently accessible to the business public ; or to receive for
any service in the organization of, or issuing notes to any
banking association, or for the sale or transfer of stocks, or
any other official service, any compensation whatever, beyond
what is allowed or provided by law. 1 know of no way of
reaching the evils of this system but by the passage and en-
. forcement of the most stringent laws, for the protection of the
public. The following table exhibits the circulation ot regis-
tered notes, and the character of the stocks upon which they
were issued, taken from statistics furnished by the Bank Comp;
troUer, with other information connected with the subject.

Of the total outstanding circulation of the Banks, $3,215,488,
Missouri has furnished securities to the amount of $Sf,004,-
000. The facility with which certain stocks are changed into
currency under our B^nk Department^ must, unless checked
speedily, put an end to our Bank' System. It is well under-
stood that $100,000 in money will buy abonat $125,000 of these
Missouri Stocks at any time. Upon these Stocks from $95,000
to $100,000 may be issued, to buy as much more Missouri
Stocks, which in turn, being deposited as security, will draw
nearly as much more currency, and so on almost indefinitely.
The Banks being established at inaccessible or unknown points,
to avoid the payment of specie upon the oirculation, would in-
duce an unlimited inflation of the currency. The value of
these Stocks. ultimately may well be questioned. While a few
operators in Wall street may give them a ficti^ous value as a
banking basis, il is believed that .were the demand created for
banking in Illinois and Wisconsin to cease, they would sink at
once far below the rates at which they are received on deposite
as security for our bank circulation, and that they are not a safe
basis, even as collateral security, much less when held and used
as actual bank capital.
This system of banking, in the end, must drive out of circu-
lation all specie and the currency of banks established for le-
gitimate business purposes. Banks located in business centres,
where they are liable at any time to be called upon to redeem
their circulation in specie, cannot compete with those institur
tions located at inaocess.ble points, and. would be neoiossarily
compelled to withdraw their circulation entirely.
22
In concluding this subject, I would say, that the State should
have honest banking or none at all. It is a branch of business
in which the temptation to perversion and evasion, if not to
fraud, is great under any circumstances. But it is the duty of
the Legislature to check all infringements upon the plain in-
tention of the existing law, and to punish with severity every
violation of its provisions, either in letter or spirit, and especi*
ally to guard every avenue for the perpetration of fraud upon
the people. A thorough investigation of the Bank Depart-
ment, and the manner in which its operations have been con-
ducted, at an early period o»f the Session, is recommended.
LEGISLATION.
Grave charges have been made during the past year, and
are constantly reiterated, ot corrupt conduct in the Legisla^
ture which disposed of the Grants of (and donated to thi&
State for Kailroad purposes. The charges are that individu-
als connected with the Milwaukee & La Crosse Kailroad,
either as offii^rs or otherwise, offered and paid to members of
the Legislature of 1856, either in money or bonds, or other-
wise, large bribes to procure a particular disposition of thos0
grants of land. It is also charged that there was the same
species of corruption in the disposition of a portion of those
lands designated as the ITorth Eastern Land Grant. These
charges are so open and bold, that good citizens have become
alarmed at the idea of such official misconduct, and the repu-
tations of the members of that Legislature, and* of the State,
have materially suffered in consequence.
K there has been no such corruption and wrongs as those
indicated, it is due to the honorable men of that Legislature
that they be cleared of those charges, and that the slanders
be stopped, If there have been such frauds upon, and corrnp-
tion in Legislation in this State, public justice demands that
by exposure and punishment an end should be put to such
venality.
The man who would dare to approach a sworn public officer
with a bribe, to turn him from his honest convictions of duty,
should be hunted down by the law and severely punished.
It is due to the people of this State to know whether their
representatives, can be bought and sold like slaves in the
market, or like cattle in the shambles. Honest Legislation
in protecting the rights of all by wholesorpe laws, is the great
safeguard of the people, and thej have a right to demand
that at the hands of their reipreeentatives. It is time this
cjlamor eeaaed,or the guilty parties were exposed and punished.
The self respect which every Legislative body riiould feel, '■
should lead without hesitation to exposure of wrongs and
crimes. ISo oountenanoe should any longer be given to
causes of reproach i^i^^^t a high and honorable body of pub* '
lie men^ Public morals like private morals are never improv- 1
ed by winking at delinquencies. Covering up crimes aftelr ^
they have been committed, neither operates as a punishment
to oflfenders or to deter other men from the commission of
like offences. Legislation should be as pure in motive and
action as the administration of justice or execution of the law.
If the law making power is suffered to become corrupt with
impunity, the administration of the law by Courts of Justice
will be suffered to become corrupt with like impunity, and
the rights of the whole people be jeopardized. Justice to the
Legislature upon which the corruption is charged, jus-
tice to tlie people of the State who have been outraged, if the
charges are true, and justice to yourselves, demand that the
Legislation of this State be purged 6f these charges, if they
are but charges, and of the offences if offences have been
committed. I will sustain the Legislature, to the full extent
of the power of my department, in any investigation upon
this subject, without any regard to where the Vlow will fall.
It is a question which concerns the honor of your department.
I submit flxd whole question to your self respect, your honest.,
convictions of duty^ and your obligations to the law and to ,
the people, as to what your duty is \ipon this subject.
The manner in which the Rail Boad companies to which
the grants of land were given by the State, have fulfilled the
conditions of the taw, will necessarily come before you. A '
24-
strict compHance with the material requirements of the law
must be ezacted. Stockholders in many of the Bail Boad
companies of this State, and a large class of the best citisooB
of the State who have encumbered their farms to aid Bail
road companies, have suffered great losses and are liable to
suffer still greater losses, on account of the criminal misman-
agement and breaches of trust of their agents and offioen.
As far as possible the Legislature should establish safeguards
against such wrongs, and pass laws making it a criminal of*
fence ior any director,officer,agent or servant of anj B. B. Ck>«
to appropriate, sell^ transfer, or in any numner dispose of any
funds or securities belonging to any Bail road com|>any, or to
the stock holders thereof, for any other object than for the
necessary and legitimate purposes of such road.
An alteration should be made in many of our criminal
laws, which in cases of light offences, and particularly with
youthful offenders, will give the courts a greater discretion
in imposing punishment
The law on the subject of gambling needs amending. The
penalties against this vice operate as invitations to indulge in
it. At every session of the Legislature, gamblers and black-
legs throng this city, dogging the footsteps of citizens, enticing
the young and confirming an evil habit in the old. Severe
punishment should be imposed upon these professional gam-
blers, armed with all the paraphernalia of a disgraceful pro-
fession, to drive them if possible from their pursuits. Officers
should be compelled to a strict performance of their duties in
this respeot. I shall take great pleasure in attending to the
execution of any law that may be made on this subject.
More stringent legislation is required,to compel public officers
to the performance of their duties. Bold and wealthy crimi-
nals are too frequently suffered to escape punishment, for no
other conceivable reason than the high respect felt by public
officers, for the dignity and magnitude of the offences com-
mitted. The value of all criminallaw in the protection of
persons and property, and in the prevention of crime, is ia
the certainty of its execution. In this age, more than at any
/
25
other in the history of the civilized world, crimes are increas-
ing with astounding rapidity. There is more learning and
comparatively less wisdom; more professions of virtne and
comparatively more vice ; more religion and comparatively
less true Christianity, than the world ever witnessed before. .
Art and science pay tribute to criminal rapacity, and are
made auxiliaries to aid in successful violation of the law.
Unless greater efforts are made to secure punishment for of-
fences ) if the boldness and frequency of public wrongs ate ,
to secure their impunity, but a little time mqst elapse before
an aptitude for the commission of crime will become a con-'
firmed defect in the character of the AAiieriean .people.
IffiVlSION OP THE LAWS.
The Commissioners appointed to revise the laws have been
engaged with great industry upon their duties. The ability
and character of the gentlemen composing the Oorlimisaion
inspire confidence that the revision of our laws' will be wise-
ly and satisfactorily made. I am assured that their report
will be made to you in an early part of the session.
LOOiX Ii£QiaLATI02Sr«
L!y predecessor called the attentiqA of thq Legislature to the
excessive local legislation which has been indulged in since the .
organization of the State Government. J must call your at-.
tention earnestly to the necessity of a reform in this respect —
jSection L of Article 12 of the Constitution of this State is aa
follows:
«
" Corporations, without banking: poweiB or. privileges, may
be formed under general laws, but shall not be created by spe-
cial actj except for municipal purposes, and in cases where, in
the judgment of the Legislature, the objects of the corporation
4 «
cannot be obtained under general laws."
Nearly all the local legislation of the last ten years, which
has filled large volumes, and cost the State, in time, spent by
the Legislature, and in expense of printing, at least one hun-
dred thousand dollars, might have been entirely dispensed with,
and all the benefits derived, or ^pected to be derived, might
26
have been realized under general laws provided for the pur-
pose, or from the action of Boards of County Supervisors, or
by proceedings in court. Economy in public expenditures, in
this time of financial distress, would be your sufl&cient warrant
for abandoning this systpm of Legislation, if the Constitution
did not prohibit it.
ASSSSSMBNT LAWS.
, Our assessment laws are fall of imperfections, and the at-
tention of the Legislature is earnestly invited to the necessity
of a change in the present system. The law should compel
the assessors to assess all property liable to be taxed, both
real and personal, at its actual value. There is now, in towns
and counties throughout the State, a competition among asses-
sors in the art of making low assessments, far below the value
of the property assessed. Each seems to fear that his district .
will be compelled to bear too great a proportion of the gen-
eral burthens. By the inequality and want of uniformity of
the system, great numbers escape the payment of their just
proportion of the taxes, and great numbers are forced to pay
too much. The law should insist that every tax payer give
in to the assessor an accurate statement of the amount, and
estimated real value of his property. Other defects of a se-
rious character are found in the detail of our present laws,
and as the importance of the alteration of the law is very
great, I commend it your attention at an early day of the
session, before the pressure of other business shall prevent its
carefdl and deliberate consideration.
TREASURY ASTD SCHOOL LAND OFFICfiS.
The investigations that were made two years ago into the
condition of our public offices, and into the manner in which
the business of the several State Departments had been con-
ducted, disclosed the fact that grave offences had been com-
mitted, and gross frauds perpetrated by men intrusted with the
administration of public affairs. Money had been embezzled
from the public treasury to a large amount ; illegal fees had
been taken by officers in the School Land Department ; frauds
27
had been practiced in the sale of school and nnirersity lands,
and monej paid oat of the State Treasurjr without appropria-
tions made bj law authorising the same. No adequate law
had been passedprovixiingsaitable punishment for such offen-
ces, although an effort had been made in the legislature to
do so. To prevent a recurrence of such evils in the future, I
recommend that laws, be passed, imposing heavy penalties for
their breach, to prevent any money being paid out of the State
Treasury, except in pursuance of appropriations ma Je by law;
to prevent the sale of specie belonging to the State Treasury ;
and to prevent money changers from controlling or in any
wise interfering with its deposites ; to prevent frauds in th^
sale of School and University Lands, and to confine all per-
sons having charge of any of the great public interests of the
State to the discharge of their legitimate duties. The Com-
mittee to be appointed by the Les^islature to report upon the
condition of the State offices should be under instructions to
ascertain and report the expenses of the School and Univer-
sity Land and Swamp Land Departments for the past year,
and how these expenses have been paid. Each of those De«
partments should be made to support itselfi without drawing
upon the General Fund.
SAXJfi OF BTATI LAUDS.
There is no good reason why men who desire these public
lands for settlement and cultivation should be compelled to
purchase them at second hand from 8j>eculators. There is no
necessity for any further haste in the sale and disposition of
those lands. I recommend that the School and University
lands hereafter sold, and suchyof the Swamp lands as are sus-
ceptible of cultivation and improvement, be sold only in quan-
tities, not to exceed three hundred and twenty acres to any
one individual, and then only to men who desire to purchase
them for actual settlement and cultivation ; and that in all
cases of sales, ten per cent, of the purchase money be required
to be paid at the time of such sale.
Tbespassebs on state lands.
Some efficient means ought to be provided to enable the
Commissioners to protect the School and Swamp lands from
28
trespassers. Although several attemftts have been made bjr
the Legislature to remedy this evil, no adequate protection
has been within their reach. Trespasses are constantly com*
mitted, and some of the lands are constantly losing their val-
ue on that acdbunt. Some of the agents appointed for tlie
purpose of guarding them, it is feared, have quietly endured
the spoiling of the lands^ enjoying, as a reward for their pa-
tient forbearance, a portion of the fruits of the evil. The is -
lands in the Mississippi^ belonging to the swamp lands, par-
ticularly require care and supei vision.
PUBLIC PBINTINO.
The Legislature is bound to provide for the speedy publica-
tion of all statute laws. Under the contract of the public print-
er, the condition of the acceptance of his bid was to publish
them within sixty days after the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture. The laws for several years have not been published as
early as they should have been, and frequently their publica*
tion has been delayed until it was time, according to the com-
mon system of Legislation in the State, to repeal or alter
them. Serious injuries result from this failure to publish and
distribute the laws, independent of the general inconvenience
to courts, attorneys, officers, and business men. Eights are
seriously affected, and the laws broken, by men who have no
knowledge and no means of knowledge of what they are. The
attention of the Legislature has been frequently called to this
subject, but the public printer, for some reason, has paid no
regard to it. I recommend that authority be given to the
Secretary of State to declare th^ contract forfeited hereafter,
whenever the public printer fails to fulfil his contract, and to
let the printing to some other •party.
OOBPOBATIOKS.
The Legislature is empowered to provide for the organization
of cities and incorporated villages, and it is made its duty by
the Constitution to restrict their power of taxation, assessment,
borrowing money, contracting debts, and loaning their credit,
so as to prevent abuses in assessments and taxation, and in con*
^ '^ *»-— — .
29 •
traoting debts, by such municipal corporations. Constant com-
plaints htt made of the excesses of taxation in citite and incor-
porated villages m this State. In many of our larger cities the
barthena of taxation have become oppressiife. Too great
powers are' giveh to Boauds of Trustees of villages, and to the
Common Councils of cities, in expendiiig public moneys ; apd
the ease with which, in the eatly stages of indebtedness, money
can be raised upon city bonds, leads to extravagant expendi-
tures of the public funds, and, too frequently, for other purpo-
ses than in payment of necessary expenses or in making improv-
ments, A limit should be fixed, in every city charter, to taxa-
tion, and a limit to the er^ation of public debts. The debt of a
city should never be suffered to reach such an am9unt as to
bring down its credit more than 6 per cent, below par. The
faithlessness and extravagance of public offioeiB is becoming
proverbial, and iii incorporated cities, where a perpetuation of
power, independent of any political considerations, is made to
depend upon lavish expenditures of public funds for unauthor-
ized purposes, and in fulfillment of oppressive and fraudulent
cotL tracts, it becomes a matter of urgent neioessity that the Leg-
islature should interpose, and obey the 0J(der of the Constitu-
tion, by placing a restriction upon the power of borro'Wing
money, of taxation, of assessment, of contracting debts, and
loaning credit Your attention is invited to a careful consider-
ation of this subject. ' '
There is another question of serious importance connected
witix this subject of contracting debts by tnunicipal and other
corporations. The State is not authorised to contract public
debts to exceed in the aggregate the amount of one* hundred
thousand dollars. It iS also expressly prohibited from giving
or loaning its credit in aid of any individual, association or cor-
poration, or contracting debts for works of internal improve-
ments. Yet the Legislature, by a series of acts running through
a number of years, has conferred upon counties, towns, cities
and villages, a power to do that which the State has no consti-
tutional power itself to do. A necessity may frequentiy arise
30
where, for some purposes, counties and towns may be justified
in contracting a limited amount of indebtedness, but in no case
should they be authorized, and there is no constitutional power
to authorize them, to create a debt which is likely to become a
public burthen, or to loan their credit for the benefit of, or in
aid of, any individual, association, or corporation. There is no
safety for a public corporation if it falls into the hands of a pri-
vate one. Towns, and counties, and cities, were never organ-
ized for the purpose of building canals, railroads, or plank roads,
or in any manner to speculate in private enterprises. Though
cities may be authorized to loan their credit, the character of
the corporation being esteemed in law different from that of a
town or county, yet it is, in every case, of doubtful expediency
to loan it to private corporations. When once the system is
adopted, it is diflScult to limit the extent of the liabilities in
which they may become involved. There is a uniform history
of embarrassment, prostration of credit, and burthensome tax-
ation, to be written of such debts. Counties, towns, cities, and
villages, like individuals, are i^i best condition when out^of
debt. JTo deserving private corporation needs such aid. C^ pi-
tal, everywhere, will seek safe and profitable investment, and
will be furnished as fast as public necessity demands any given
improvement at the hands of a private corporation. Private
corporations are unsafe depositories of public credit.
If the whole amount of bonds had been issued which have
been authorized by the Legislature, the sum in the last four
years alone would have exceeded eleven millions of dollars, as
the following table will show :

If the « mount pre^onaly autliorized to bo issued be added
to this aam, the aggregate would uot be lese than fifteen mil-
lions of doUars-^a sum sufficient to bankrupt the^State. It
never oould be paid, and would have led. as a last resort) to
repudiation and public disgrace. I recommend that every
act of the Legislature authorlEing towns, . counties and vil-
' lages to loan their credit to private corporations, where their
bonds have not. already been issued, be at once repealed, and
that the cities be restrained from any further loa:;3 of a simi-
lar character.
BIVK PER CENTUM.
The General Government con tindes to withhold from tliis
State the five per centum of the proceeds of sales of the Gov-
ernment lands lying in this State. "Whether insufficient ef-
forts have been made by the agents of the State to obtain the
amount due, which is at the present time estimated at about
$300,000, or whether the payment is delayed on account of a
pretended though unfounded claim against this State; grow-
ing out of its connexion with the Milwaukee and Rock River
Canal Grant, or whether it is the settled purpose of the Gov-
ernment, for causes bejond our control, to withhold the
amount due the State, cannot with any satisfaction be deter-
mined. The attention of our Senators and Representatives
should be called particularly to the failure of the Government
to do justice by payment of the amount due the State. It
should be ascertained without delay whether the five per cent-
um is to be permanently withheld, or whether we are ulti-
mately to realise any benefit from the claim of the State, and
if so, how soon. In this time of financial embarrassment,
^ while the State is engaged in thd erection of necessary and
52
expensive public baildlngs, its payment would be a great re-
lief to the people.
TOX BITEB IMPBOnnEMENT.
I hare no definite information npon which to baae any rec-
ommendation in regard to the Fox and Wisconsin river im-
provement. It is an enterprise of great importance to the
northern part of the State, and should be treated justly, with-
out regard to any local jealousies. No portion of the State
can prosper too much, and the substantial prosperity of one
portion should not be looked upon with jealousy by any other.
It is the business, however, of the Legislature to look after
the manner in which the work upon it is conducted, and to
take care that the terms of the grant of land made in its aid
are fully complied with. The State must protect itself from
being involved in any liability on account of a misappropri-
ation of the land granted, or a misapplication of the funds re-
alized upon a sale of those lands. It would be well to have a
committee appointed to examine and report to the Legislature,
whether the terms of the grant have been, so far, complied
with in prosecuting the Improvement
MUOTIA AND STATE ARHB.
More adequate provision should be made for the organiza-
tion of the militia system of the State. If the proper steps
are taken and exhibits made, the State will be entitled to re-
ceive during the present year, arms to the value of twenty-
four thousand dollars. Some safe and commodious place
ought to be provided for depositing and preserving them.
The volunteer companies already organized are an honor to
themselves and to the State, and are entitled to favorable
public consideration.
PACIFIC SAILBOAD.
The necessity of a*thoroagh&re by wagon or* Railroad^ or
by both, in our own latitude, to the Pacific, for the conveni-
ence of trade and navigation, is so apparent that I suggest
that the Legislature join in the lefforts now being' made/ for
83
that purpose, and memorialize Congress on the subject. From
tlie he*ad of Lake Superior to Puget Sound, the distance in a
direct line is about fourteen hundred miles, and by the Kail
Eoad route lately explored by Gov. Stevens about eighteen
hundred miles. The explorations and surveys of the several
routes — northern, middle, and southern — have resulted in es-
tablishing the fact that the northern route possesses advanta-
ges over all the others yet explored, in these particulars : It
requires, by connecting with present roads, less railroad to be
built, to make a complete Railroad communication between
the Atlantic and Pacific, by several hundred miles. It is
through a better district of country — one capable of sustain-
ing an agricultural population nearly the entii*e way. The
gradients are less and the general altitude much lower. It
furnishes a greater supply, with more general distribution of
wood, timber, coal, water, and building stone, anct •facilities
for supplying workmen and material in the progress of the
work. Between the navigable waters of the Missouri at Fort
fienton, and the navigable waters ot the Columbia at the
mouth of the Peluse river, fifty miles above Fort WuUah-wul-
lah, the distance is 450 miles. With these and other facilities
fof furnishing supplies, the work of constructing this Eailroad
can be simultaneously commenced, and carried forward, at
Lake Superior, Puget Sound, Fort Benton and Fort .WuUah
Wullah, thus requiring less time for its completion, than oth-
er routes, where the work must necessarily be continuous
from either terminus. The climate too of the northern route
is better adapted to labor, and a great amount can be per-
formed in a given length of time by the same force. In a
commercial point of view this line is the most direct between
the great shipping ports of Asia and India and the gat recom-
mercial cities, New York and Liverpool, and for North Amer-
ican produce it avoids the tropical regions. It is of the great-
est importance that Congress should make an appropriation
for a wagon road from Fort Benton to Fort WuUah-WuUah.
It is believed that $200,000 will be sufficient for this purpose.

THE SLAVEEY QUESTIOK.
The subject of slavery, and the powers of the federal gov-
ernment over the subject of Slavery, are aBsuming at the pres-
ent time a very grave importance. The question whether a
man shall own himself, or another man shall own him, is of
itself, infinite in its importance to the parties interested ; but
it becomes fearful in its import when the institutions of the
whole country are likely to be involved in diflSiculty growing
out of its connexion with that peculiar institution. Great
controversies have arisen as to the duty of the Federal Gov-
ernment, and as to the duties of the States themselves, upon
this subject, and this antagonism of opinion has led to antag-
onism of action, and is likely to involve the Federal Govern-
ment and the States in grave confusion. The government of
no one State lias any right to interfere directly with the do-
mestic institutions or government of any other State of the
Union. The jurisdiction of no one State extends in any man-
ner or for any purpose whatever over the territory of any
other StatOt Each is sovereign within its own boundaries,
and entirely independent, except so far as power has been
delegated to the Federal Government, in express and exact
terms, under the Constitution of the United States.
Tlie laws of no Stute reach beyond tlie limits of that State
and every legislative enactment assuming a jurisdiction be-
yond a constitutional right, is void, Wisconsin has no right
to Interfere with the domestic, or any other institution of Vir-
ginia, nor has Virginia with tliose of Wisconsin. No legisla-
tive enactment here, and no judgment of our own State
courts, can interfere to abolish slavery in Kentucky, nor can
Kentucky establish slavery in Wisconsin. Beyond this, the
Federal Government, being purely a government of delegated
powers, established for ppecific jmrposes, cannot abolish slave-
ry in any State of the Union, nor can it establish slavery in
any State, or in any of the Territories of the United States ;
nor has it a right directly or indirectly to advise, countenancej
or assent to, the establishment of domestic slavery any where
within its jurisdiction, The Federal Government is entirely
85
}p
one of delegated powers, and the powers delegated are inde,
peiKlent powers. There is no snch thing as an independent
power granted by implication. There are certain dependent
powers, implied, assumed and exercised, as incidents for the
purpose of giving effect to an independent power delegated.
The Federal Government, therefore, takes nothing but that
which the Constitution gives it in express terms, and acquires
no right or authority to exercise any power not expressly del-
egated, except BO far as may be necessary to give force and
effect to one expressly delegated, and then only for the pur-
pose of carrying out the great objects for which the Govern-
ment itself was formed. The history of dead nations, written
upon the record and in their ruins, tells us in terms of solemn
wwming the danger of departure, by any Government, in the
exercise of its authority, from the great objects for which all
good governments should be instituted, and of using legiti-
mate powers as engines of oppression, and fraud, and wrong.
Th« theory of our Government is that it was instituted to se-
cure, among other rights, the rights to life and liberty; and
that it derives all its just powers from the consent of the gov-
eilied. The people ordained and established the Federal
Oonstitutien, in order to " form a more perfect union among the
independent Btates, establish justice, insure jlomestic tran-
quility, provide "for the common defence, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty.^
Using the great poweiis delegated to the Federal Govern-
ment by that Constitution for any other purposes than those
intended and specified, operates as a direct violation of the
principles that underlie its foundations; denies practically,
that the Government was instituted for the purpose of pro-
teicting and sustaining the rights to life and liberty ; perverts
the theory that it derives its ju3t powers from the consent of
the governed. Instead of confirming the strength of a per-
fect union formed, it weakens its bands, and tends to disunion.
instead of establishing justice, its tendency is to injustice and
violence* It' insures domestic confusion and discord, instead
36
of traaquiUtj ; breaks down the constitutional walls erected
for the common defence, opens tlie way for thick-coming dis-
asters and misfortanes, in the place of promoting the general
welfare, and shackles the liberty of the people instead of se
curing its blessings.
The relation of master and slave is peculiar in
its character. It does not depend for its existence,
necessarily, upon local law. It is not a natural condition of
any distinct race of men. It is rather a relation depending
upon the exercise of force* It is a relation that existed be-
foie the present State Constitutions were made,and before there
was any local legislation on the subject. Law makers and
constitution makers recognized it as an existing institution,
and passed no laws creating or assuming to create it. It was
established without law, and is sustained by law protecting
the exercise of force without right. This is the character of
the institution now sought to be forced upon a free Territory
of the United States. Since A. D. 1820, until within a brief
period, slavery was prohibited by act of Congress north of
what was called the Missouri Comproniise line. That act was
repealed and superseded by the Kansas-Nebraska Act. At
ihe time of its repeal there was no slavery in Kansas^ in the
judgment of ihe law. At the time of the passage of the Kan-
sas-Nebraska Act there was neither slavery nor involuntary ser-
vvtude in any of the Territories of the United States, under the
Constitution of the United States, There was no local law au-
thorizing it, nor any act of Congress. There was neither a
slave state or a free state having any jurisdiction over them.
The Constitutiou of the United States never carried slavery
into any free Territory of the United States, The statesmen
who made it did not make it for that purpose. The people
who ordained and established it, did not ordain and establish
it for that purpose.
There is in it neither an express or implied power to estab-
lish slavery anywhere. If there was slavery at that time in
Kansas or any other Territory of the United States, it was
87
without law, aod in direct violation of every principle upon
which our institutions are based, and in conflict with the de-
clared objects for which the Constitution itself was adopted.
Neither in regard to slavery or any other subject, does the
Constitution do that for which it was not intended or institu-
ted, or that for which it does not itself declare it was intended
or instituted. No partnership was formed by the Confeder-
ated States, at the time the Federal Constitution was adopted,
for the purpose of creating or sustaining slavery. There was
no article in the partnership contract declaring slaves to be
common property, or registering them among the list of ar-
ticles or chatties universally recognized throughout the civil-
ized world as common subjects of property. That cannot, by
any just law, be made property which is not the subject of
property. Men entitled to life and liberty are not the sub-
ject o •* property to men entitled to life and liberty. Equals
are not the subject of property to equals. The Constitution
of the United States was never intended to establish or sus-
tain, and does not now sustain, this peculiar relation or insti-
tution in any Territory of the United States.
There is another serious aspect to this anti-Republican
doctrine of slavery under the Constitution. If the right to
hold slaves existed In Kansas at the time of the passage of
the Kansas act, under the common Constitution, it existed in ,
Utah and New Mexico and Oregon, and Washington and
Minnesota Territories. If the right to hold slaves exists
under the Constitution of the United ftate? independent of
local law, the Constitution being the Supreme law of the
land as it expressly declares, then every act prohibiting
slavery in any of the Territories, the ordinance of 1787, and
every law and Constitution of every ^ree State, abolishing or
prohibiting slavery, were and are unconstitutional, aijd the
right of slaveholders to bring into Wisconsin their slaves and
to hold them here as such, and to sustain the institution of
slavery here, now exists, and slare labor, forced upon us, is
liable to come into competition with the free labor of our
S8
citftens. It is a question which rises far above all party con-
siderations. The free psople of Wisconsin will never consent
to any such construction of the Federal Constitution.
We. owe it to ourselves, and to the other jfree States, and to
the spirit of our institutions, to record our solemn^protesfc
against it. Wisconsin was born of Virginia when ideas of
free government, filled tlie minds of her great statesmen,
and when Liberty was the theme of her Orators. The child
has not forgotten the early taug ht lessons of the parent. ^^Tliere
SHALL BE neither slavery Twr ihvolu7iiary servitude in the State of
Wisconsin otherwise ifian in the punishment of crime whereof
the party shall have been duly convictedJ*^
The right to control, is a necessary incident to the power
to acquire Territory. Congress has no power to establish
slavery in the Territories, because it derives no power from
the ConstUution, and to establish slavery was not one cf the
purposes for which it waf ordained and established. The
Federal Government has no right to acquire Territory except
for purposes consistent with the objects of our institutions. It
has aright, and it is its duty to prohibit slavery in the Terri-
tories, because it has power to legislate over the Territories,
and slavery is the antagonist of that Liberty, to secure the
blessings of which the Constitution was ordained and estab-
lished.
The right of Congress to legislate for the territories has beeft
conceded by every President, and sanctioned by every ad-
ministration, from that of Washington down to that of Presi-
dent Pierce. It has been declared by the adjudication of the
Supreme Court of the United States. Every organic law, or-
ganizing a Territorial- Government, passed by Congress, is aa
act of legislation. The act of Congress, organizing a Terri-
torial Government in Kansas, holds the same relation to that
territory that a State Constitution does to the State. Con^
gross can confer no power of legislation that it does not itself
possess, and every act of legislation by Congress establishing
an organic law is legislation for the territory, and for the peo-
39
pie of the 'territory ps legislation over tho territory and over
the people of the territory^ affecting the rights and privileges
and institutions of the people of the territory. It is the duty
of Congres3 to exercise that power of legislation over the ter-
ritories in order to prevent the aggressions of an enemy to the
common liberty which th(5 people have, under the Constitu-
tion, a right to enjoy. To a certain extent, the people have
'' a right to regulate their own lustitutions in their own way.
But the people have no right to do wrong. The majority of
the people have no right to oppress the minority. Constitu-
tions are adopted and laws made with a view to protect the
rights of minorities against the excesses of majorities,
as well AS to protect the rights of the majority Le-
cause of their intrinsic merits. Under a constitutional gx)v-
ernment, the power of the people is not unlimited. The peo-
ple must be bound by the law, or there is the end of civil
government. Our Government is not a pure democracy,
where the will of the people necessarily becomes the law.
Otherwise, if the majority determined upon a Limited Mon-
archy or absolute Despotism, without regard to constitutional
safeguards, our Government might be changed to-morrow,
and all our liberties overthrown. Under our present form of
government, the people in every organised State, having re-
gard to the bounds set to their action by the Constitution,
and having in view the great objects of the Government, have
a right to ^ay through their legally chosen agents and repre-
sentatives, by what kind of laws thoir lives and liberty and
property shall be protected and preserved.
This applies, not to the rights of the majority or of thef
minority, but to the rights of the whole people. And when
the objects of the government are to protect and preserve the
life and liberty and properly of the whole people, the majority-
has no authority to so will or so order their rule as to take away
the rights of the least and humblest individual in the State. Th©
majority of the people have no right under our constitution,
or under the Federal constitution, to declare as law that the
40
minority shall be slaves ; and the fact that the majority should
so declare would destroy the only really democratic element in
the government, and would be a Solemn mockery of every
idea of Republicanism. It is the business, therefore, of Con-
gress, wherever it has jurisdiction, to prevent by every consti-
tutional means, the least attempt to establish an institution or
a system of laws so opposed to all ideas of free government.
The repeal of the Missouri Compromise was a great wrong
done to the Free States, and no benefit to the Slave States. It
opened the door to every species of fanatacism, and to wild
excesses, from the criminality of which ai» nge of good deeds
and good government could bring no atonement, and the
urgent effort still made to force upon the people of Kansas a
Constitution to which a vast majority are notoriously opposed,
against every principle of justice and constitutional obligation,
is lighting up there the flames of civil war, which may spread
until the whole country shall become involved. It is not the
business of Congress to make state constitutions, or to force any
state into the Union with a constitution odious to its pepple.
The Constitution gives to Congress a discretionary power over
the admission of new states. It may admit or it may refuse to
admit. It is the duty of Congress to prevent the admission of
any more Slave States into the Union. Slavery has spread far
enough. It has diffused itself over more territory, and has
now more powerover the Federal Government than the Fathers
ever intended or expected. It is the duty of every free State
to remonstrate against its further extension, and against the
admission of any more Slave States. Congress has no right to
interfere with it in the Slave States, but should confine it just
where it is, with all its' blessings and all its woes,by great walls
of law, supported by all the powers of the national government
Article 10 of the Constitution of the United States says : " The
powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or the people."
President Madison well said — ^*'The powers delegated by
41
the Constitution to the Federal Government are few and de-
fined. Those which are to remain in tlie State governments
are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exei'cised
principally on external objects, as w&r, peace, negotiations,
and foreign commerce, with which last the power of taxation
will for the most part be donqected. The powers reserved to
the several States, will extend to all the objects, which, in the
ordinary course of afiairs, concern the lives, liberties and
properties of the people, and the internal order,, improve-
ment and prosperity of the State."
The tendency of the action of the Federal Government,
has been for many years, aided by the Federal' Oourts,
to centralization, and to an absorption of a large share
of the sovereignty of the States. It has trespassed upon
the reserved rights of the States and of the people, assum-
ing a jurisdiction over them, in the exercise of power never
delegated. The Federal Government, so far as there is any
sovereignty under our form of government, is sovereign and
independent in the exercise of its delegated powera, and the
the States are sovereign and independent in the exercise of'
their reversed powers. The safety of the States in the exer-
cise of those powars in defence of the lives and properties,
and liberties of the people, demands a firm, deliberate oppo^
sition and resistance to any attempt at usurpation or aggres-
sion by the Federal Government, its Courts, its officers or
agents, upon the reserved rights of the States or the people.
The laws of Wisconsin declare "It shall be the duty of
the Governor, and of all the subordinate officers of the State
to maintain aifd defend its sovereignty and jurisdiction."
The deliberate judgment of the highest judicial tribunal of
the State as to the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the State,
as to the reserved powers of the State and of the people, and
as to the rights to liberty and property of its people, is the
law, and must be sustained. Wisconsin is true to the Consti~
tution. The people are loyal to the Constitution and to the
Union. She will give to the Federal Government all its
rights, to her sister States all their rights, and will insist upon
her own* The people will never consent to disunion of the
42
States. They will aid in bringing back every State that for-
gets its loyalty. They will not* consent to specnlate upon
a contingency in which disunion wonid be justifiable, or even
excusable, but doing justice and demanding justice, they will
continue to support the Constitution and the laws.
THE FEDERAL COURTS.
During the late financial difiiculty my attention has been
called to the oppressive character of the TT. S. District Conrts,in
matters between individuals, growing out of or founded upon
contracts, which come before them. By construction, no ap-
peal or writ of error is allowed to the Supreme Court of the
XJ. S. in any civil case between individuals when the amount
involved in conrtovrersy is less than two thousand dollars.
These courts are beyond the reach of the people. Tlieir de-
cisionsj to a certain extent, are as arbitrary and absolute as a
determination of the Czar ot Bussia. They have no sympa-
thy for misfortunes among our citizens, and hundreds of men
in good pecuniary circumstances, but without present available
means, may be, and frequently have been ruined, by the speed
with which judgments are enteied and final process Issued and
executed. Ko attention is paid to the course of practice of the
State courts, except so far as it facilitates the commencement
and prosecution of suitSk I submit to you the propriety of
asking Congress to pass some law confining the business of
these courts in cases arising on contract between citizens of
diflferent States, to those where the amount is over $2,000.
cbisrcLirsioisr.
The pecuniary embarrassment and distress of the past few
months, will work out a great gOod to the country. Business
of almost every kind had been overdone. The great majori-
ty of buoiness men were rejoicing in an imaginary, and not
real, prosperity. Men ripe for wild speculations, found the
speculations ripe to their hands. Every thing bore a fictitious
value. Lands, products, manufactured fabrics, all things
marketable, were valued above a real worth. The currency
was infiated by over issues of bank notes. States were rich
in the issue and sale of evidences of their debts. Kailroad
4S
directors and agentB, were rich in epecuUtioBS upon what
the; had plandered from stockholders, and stockholderB in in-
oorporated companieB were rich in the fiotitlous value of their
stocks. Sellers were rich in debts due for property sold, and
buyers were rich in that abundance of credit which enabled
them to get into debt. Men dealt recklesaly aad lived ex*
truvagantlj, and forgot their obligations to each other*, and
higher obligations than those they owed to men.. "^
Eeverses camcy as they always will come, following fast
upon the heels of excess. There is a lesson to be learned
from these expeiiencoa from which men may. grow wisier and
letter. The great evil which lies back of all these exhibi-
tions of successes and reverses, is in the teadenoies of the
age. The great mass of our people are learning to despise
labor, forgetting that every dollar acquired by any ether
means than as a reward for honest industry, or well directed
skill and enterprise in some honorable avocation or employ-
ment, is so much loss to some less lucky man. Too many
are endeavoring to live without labor, and to get money
without earning it. The people must learn to guard against
these evils, as they learn to acpount for them, after thoy have
come. Notwithstanding all that has been suffered, the coun-
try is substantially rich in real wealth. Wisconsin is rich in
the abundance of her aprricultural and mineral products ; rich
in her facilities for the transaction of business ; in public im-
provements; in public and private charities ; in educational
institutions ; in the intelligence and practical independence
of her citizens ; in her religious instituitons ; in an able and
enlightened public press ; in that large liberty, acknowledged
by the law, and protected by the wisdom and prudence . and
independence' of her courts of justice, and in ideas of equal-
ity which recognize the rights of every man as sacred, with-
out regard to class, condition, creed or birth place.
Her commercial interests are as vast in extent, as her re-
sources are exhaustless. A great carrying highway is on
her West, and another on her East, and iron roads, binding
\
44
together her rich growing cities, are traversing all her length
and breadth. The farms of the people are like gardens, and
her cities are set, like bright jewels, in the crown of her
prosperity. Wise legislation, pot for party purposes, but to
redress grievances, protect rights, and to prevent evils ; an
honest and fmgal administration of the government, and a
due regard for the rights of all men, will enhance the enjoy-
ment of all those blessings. I commend the great interests
of the State and the people to your care, and to the overrul-
ing Providence of God. I shall co-operate with you in all
nsetul and considerate legislation for the public benefit.

ADDITIONAL REPORT.
The foUowing foatter^ pertaining to due office^ not
braced in the report of Auditor, are respectfully submitted to
the Legislature :
EqufMziUiofu
The result of the deliberations of the State Board of E^qual-
ization is hereunto appended, marked 'tC./' the basis being
nearly the same as that of last year.
Election Laws,
The 29th and 30th sections of ^ An act to provide for the
purity of Election/' approved 7th Mtfrch, 1857, provides as
follows :
^ Sec. 29. It shall be the duty of the Secretary of State 1o
cause this act, and all other laws now in force relating to
^elections, to be published, together with such instractions and
forms as may be necessary to secure uniformity and regular-
ity in the manner of notifying, conducting, and making re-
turns of elections.
^ Ssa 30. The State Printer shall immediately publish, in
pamphlet form, bound in board covers, five thousand copies
of such laws and instructions, for the use of clerks of super-
visors, town clerks, and inspectors, and clerks of elections.
Qn the cover of such pamphlets shall be printed the words-^
' Public Property ;' to be delivered by every officer to his sue-
cesser.' *
93
These sections were complied with at an early day, and the
pamphlet cannot fail to facilitate the purpose for which its'
publication was intended, and to insure^ in a great degree,
order, system, and regularity in conducting and making re-
turns of elections.
The duties required of the Secretary of State by an act to*
provide blanks for the use of inspectors and clerks of general
elections, approTed 2d March, 1857, was also complied with.
■ 4
Code qf Procedure. i
The original edition of an act entitled ^ An act to simplify
and abridge the practice, pleadings, and proceedings of the'
courts of this State,*^ approved October OCh, 1856, having be-'
come entirely exhausted, without supplying the demand for
their distribution in accordance to law and the special pro-
visions of section 967 of said act, the Secretary of State
deemed it advisable to direct the publication of a new and;
corrected edition of the same, together witfi the subsequenr
amendments passed by the Legislature ; and at several cleri^*
cal errors, in copying the original enroled act and amend- •
ments, had been discovered, the whole Code was carefalljr
examined, and those mistakes corrected.
At the suggestion of several Judges of courts of the Sthte
ajid miembers of the bar, a new index was earefolly pvepaied^
much more convenient for refiN!<ence to the various subject*
than the ^ Table of Pontents '^ published in the'first edition.
This last edition has met the approval of all who have ex-
amined it
• r
\
Statistics.
^ An act to ascertain the number and other facts respecting
deaf and^dumb, blind, insane, and idiotic persons in the State
of Wisconsin,^' approved Sd March, 1857,^ and ^An act to
aothorize the collection of agricultural, mineral,^and manu*
ftcturing statistics,^' approved fith March, 1857, requires du«

ties of the assessors of the several towns and cities ' in tnis
State^ which have, this year, heen poorly complied with. '
Tabular statements of the result of the collection of these*
statistics, required by such acts, are ' herewith, presented^
marked «D.'» and «E.»
It will be seen at once^ that the returns are very incon^plete,
and that they fail to give any reliable information on the'
fubject of enquiry, or to show, with any degree of correctness,
the agricultural, mineia], and i^anufiu)turing resources of the
State. The returns, imperfect as thcfy are, were received at
this office at a very late day, long after the time required for
their transmission, in consequence of which, this report is
somewhat delayed.
Clerks.
The act to authorisse the Sectetary of State V> employ and
{toy derks) fox the actual and neoessary discharge of the du*«
tiaa of Iu8 office, reqitires him to «^t forth ia his Annual Repmt
the names of the clerks in whose favor certificates havc^.beefi
diawn for services, the amount of such certificate, and a atate*
mbnt of the service rendered, the samo to be verified by tb^
affidavit of the Secretary of State*
AU of the facta so required aie shown in the list of ac-
cdUDls audited payable from the General Fund, an affidavit
tf tho correetness of which» marked << F.," is hereto appendeid

The business ot this department, within a very short period,
has attained a magnitade and importance second to that of
no other branch of the State Government Judging of the
future by the past, the banking system of this State, in ixxQxk-
ttice and extent, can scarcely be over-estimated. As yet it is
in its infancy. Whether for good, or evil, it is now so inter-
woven and intimately connected with, all of the business and
interests of the State and people, that no radical change could
be made without serious detriment .
The leading principle of the general banking law« is the
ultimate security of the bill holder. All other creditors of
banks and bankin^dsisociatiDns, stand in the- same relation to
them, that one individual does to another. They are, volun-
tary creditors. Bill-holders, on the contrary, are involuntary
creditors of banks, and are therefore under our system, prop-
erly preferred to all others.
■
Like other similar laws, the banking law is liable to the
abuse and perversion, of at least the intentioa and spirit of
the law. Persons and associations are ever ready to tase ad-
vantage of every defect Time and experience may suggest
improvement Yet it is believed, that, human ingenuity has
seldom devised a banking system with fewer defecta Every
one, almost, has some theory of his own, which he is pw-
suaded^ if adopted, would cure all of the evils which, it if
acknowledged, are found in the operations of the present law.
But the evils are incident to the system, and I am convinced
will always be found in connection with, and a part o^ any
and every system pf banking that may be devised.
|t was no doubt the intention, in firaming the law, that every
association, carrying on the business of banking, diould ke^ i
an o^ce at the place named in their certificate, where their
circulating notes, could be presented and payment demanded*
tttfaUegiad thaty in solnMiiiManoM^ buikiftg>a>8oeifti(liifrhaM

Bee 6 proTides that any association so foimedy shall be
titled to receive, from the Bank Comptroller, an amount^
circulating notes of different denominations, equal to, and noC
exceedihg tiie amount of public stocks transferred in tnistte
the Tieasorer of this Stata The CkimptroUer is not to inquise
whether any such association has its capital stodc paid in^
whether they have a banking home, or any specie on handi;
whether they are men of capacity, integrity, or have die
means necessary to carry on their business. It is his duty to
see, that the circuktting notes of any such association are se»
eoied by the transfer of public stocks, and that such stodm
ate of sufficient market value to redeem all of the notes tint
may be, or have been delivoed to them. When this is doas^
has not the leading oljgect of the banking law> been aeeoaii-
pUshed ?

A any present or piospeotire benefit
The past year has been one of severe tiiai to banks
bawlring associations It mlist be gratxfying to the fiieads td
4n system: to reflect, that widi but few exceptions, the banks'
of Wisconsin were able to conduct their business without a
an^penflion of specie payments. No circulating notes hate
laen returned to this office, protested. The Comptroller has*
ael been compelled to go into the market to sell securities ttaut
were daily depmci^iting. Had he be^i obliged to do so at one
Mbm, there must have been a oonsideraUe loss to the bittt
Md6r& It is a source of gratificatiobto be able to state^ tlmt
dieisecurkies of all the banks' and bailkingiaMOeidtioiis, at
the present price of public stocks, are amply sufficient] to' rOi-i
ieem all outstanding circulating notes. I believe that the

operate to the detriment and loss of the lpU*ho}dera I lie-
spectfuUy suggest that the Comptroller f hould have the power
to leqiiire additional securities upon thirty days notice^ whoDr
ever in his opinion, the securities deposited with the State
Tnevisurery are not sufficietM; to redeem the outstaading cir*
culation of any banking . a^seciAtion.
• The question of payment, of taxes seems to be left by th«
law w:ith a good deal of uncertainty in case of the rddnquish*
ment of business by bajoJai^ associations. A bank desiront
of relinquishing business, may do.so, as provided in Sec. 35^
but a bank may be two or three years in retiring ninety per
centum of its circulation. In fact, the Wisconsin Bank after
nearly, two years effort, has still more than twenty per centum
of , its circulating notes outstanding; The question arises,
when do such banking associations rightfully cease to be lia^
ble for taxes ?
Again — ^When a banking association has given the two
year's notice rexuired by Sec. 36, the Comptroller is directed
to surrender to such association any securities which he may
bold for the payment of any unredeemed notes of said asso-
ciation, thus leaving the bill-holders without any secutiiy
whatever ; some security should be provided. A bond executed
by the officers of the banking association, to the Comptroller
with approved sureties, conditioned that all circulating notea
of such bank which may be presented within the five years
next ensuing, shall be redeemed by such association, would,
perhaps, be sufficient security.
♦
Again — ^Any banking association may withdraw all of its
secorities deposited with the Treasurer by returning its circo^
laling. notes to, or by depositing an equivalent amount o^
specie with the CompCcoUer, and still remain a body oorpoiale,,
9Adk bank of diflcount and dfik>slt Wad it intended tliat
odvporations beyond the power of the Legislature to destroy,
should thus be formed? The only restriction imposed by
law is, as to the amount of capital stock, which die law de-
clares, shall not be less than |[2 5,000, nor more than 11500,000.
A bank with a capital of |I500,006, with no circulation, under
favorable circumstances, in discount^ deposits and exchange,
could do an immense business, without any securities under
the control of the State, without specie and without re-
qpurse upon the stocMioIders beyond the capital invested in
the concern. I repeat. Was this intended by the act of 1852?
Large deposits instead of strengthening a bank, as is some-
times supposed, I believe to be a certain indication of weak-
ness It is a question yet to be solved, whether any banking
system ever devised has proved to be of permanent benefit to
the community at lai^e. I belive that of Wisconsin to be as
firee from defects as any in existence. No system should
heedlessly be changed. Permanence is a great element in
any system of banking. Habit is as potent in the business,
as in the physical world.

REPOKT.
DjEPABTHENT of PubUO iNSTBUOTiaEr.
lb ihe Zegishiure :
At this date no reports have been received from Counties
by this department. It is impossible, therefore, in this com-
munication, to comply with that requirement of the law which
makes it the duty of the Superintendent to report in each
year
1st. An abstract of all the Common School reports received
by him from the several clerks of the County Boards of Su-
.pervisors.
2tid. A statement of the condition of the Common Schools
of this State.
8d. Estimates and accounts of expenditures of the School
monies.
These will be given iu a supplemental report at as early a
day as possible, together with such additional matter relating
to my office and the Common Schools of the State an I may
deem expedient to communicate.
I propose to devote this paper to the presentation of a
few thoughts on the general subject of Education, and the
duties and responsibilities of parents in connection therewith.
"What" said Michilet, " is the first part of politics ? Educa-
tion. Ihe second? JEducation. And the tliird? Education.''
Herein lies the safeguard of our Republican Institution^ the
highest glory of a People and the hope of a World. I would
6
that there was a faller and truer perception of this in the
minds of the American people. I think it quite clear, and
the iact is forcing itself upon public attention, that it is too
much sought by legislation, and by mere legal enactments to
promote the interests of the country and render permanent
and secure its free institutions. There is pressing need that
this great nation change its policy somewhat, in certain direc-
tions at least, that it devote the millions of treasure all
along absolutely expended for nought and to the detriment
of great and vital interests, to the planting of schools through-
out the land and to furnishing the means of right education
to its entire population. There would then be fewer evils to
entrench themselves across the path of its prosperity, — evils
which lie back of the outward form in which they manifest
themselves — evils which have their origin primarily in the
uneducated mind and heart,and against which our weapons
of war, our many and severe laws, our stem and unpitying
penalties are powerless indeed.
It is not to be denied that the present age is greatly distin-
guished because of its rich and varied discoveries and devel-
opments in Science and Philosophy, and their practical bear-
ing on the more important concerns and interests of Life.
How much of light have they thrown on that which was
doubtful or hidden. And how lucid and satisfactory has
been their interpretation of that which was dark and mys-
terious to the human soul. With reference to th^e how
much stranger is Truth than Fiction, how infinitely more
to be prized as the utterance of the great God through the
medium of his invisible works, sweeping forever away our
doubts and our scepticism, and saying '^ Be not faithless but
believing."
And yet I am impressed to believe that our country is
comjparatively— I say comparativdjf — as enlightened and in-
tellectually distinguished as it once was. True it caanotbe
denied that there is more general intelligence abroad in the
land, that the| discoveries of the age ^av^ shed light on the
minds of our people, that the institntioiis of learning have
greatlj multiplied, and the facilities for obtaining knowledge
largely increased. But it is denied, and will l)e denied so
long a§ the evidences of the truth of the denial exist, that
intelligisncey 8K)un4 And uaefol learning, doe^ not possess the
relative and compianding influence to whieh it is entitled.
It does not now a§ it once did, take the lead and hold in
high and imperious control the interests and destinies of the
nation. As an evidence of this I point you to a marked re-
ceding fyom the high ground once occupied — a decent from
the commanding eminence on which our fathers stood, wit-
nessed in the dying away of intelligence in the Assemblies
and Senates of a free nation, the lowering of its public standard
for merit and trust, the departing of courtesy and decorum
and of unsullied dignity from legislative halls, the accept-
ance of other securities than those of intelligence and moral
worth and of other pledges for fidelity and success in the
enactment and administration of law. Kow all these are
prools, clear and fatal marks of wasting instead of advan-
cing intelligence among the people. Horace Mann uttered
a great truth when he declared that ^^ We have not only to
propitiate to our aid a host of good spirits, but we have to ex-
orcise a host of evil ones. Every aspect of our affairs, pub-
lic and private, demonstrates that we need ior their successful
management a vast accession to the common stock of intelli-
gence and virtue,"
I may mention here as demanding an increase of intel-
lectual and moral enlightenment the evil tendency of that
radicalism . which is abroad in the land, and which needs to
' > ' •
be under the control of cultivated intellect and moral senti-
'I . . • ,
ment. I mean now a radicalism that would have no Sab-
bath, that would annihilate every existing institution — cat'ry
flame and bloodshed through the State and iTation — ^blot out
all law, and seek by one sturdy blow to destroy all evil, and
by one great effort to purify human society, and lift up Hu-
manity to the proud height of its destined glory. I have said
that in riglit Education lies the safety of our Repablican insti-
tationsy the glory of a people and the hope of the world. Bnt
let it be understood that we may mtdtiply our many facili-
ties for learning, and add millions of dollars to our already
large funds for educational purposes, and dot the land from
one end to the other with School houses, Seminaries, and
Colleges, and tumish Teachers possessed of the rarest intel-
lectual accomplishments, and yet not secure for our sons and
daughters a right education. The great and essential thing
may still be lacking. We will see this when we consider
that man has a threefold nature : Physical, Intellectual, and
Moral, and that the proper and harmonious training, discipline
and improvement of this threefold nature alone is education.
Now the business ot education for the most part has proceeded
upon the supposition that man had only an intellectual na-
ture, and that in our schools of whatever class, only this
nature was to be developed and matured. Ifan is exceeding-
ly proud of his intellect. So much is this the case that many
a time nothing offends him more than a disparagement of this.
Not even a detraction from his moral character vnll give him
that quick offence and kindle that dislike and resentment
that you may be sure of, to speak meanly of his talents.
Hany there are who would deem it more of a compliment to
be called a bad man than a fool. Tell him one of his moral
deficiencies, yet still he may linger in your company ; convince
him that you think he is not above half-witted — call him a
ihick-head and a numbskull — and you may be sure to be
troubled no longer with his acquaintance.
I do not say that too much attention has been paid to
man's intellectual nature, that we have erred when we have
expended vast sums of money and marshalled hosts of in-
structors for the purpose of leading up the youthful mind to
ihe manhood of its understanding. These intellectual pow-
ers are noble — ^they are something of God — they are God-
like. But they do not constitute all of the human soul that
is to live forever. And we do greviously sin against the laws
9
of our being when we exalt the intellect and lavish all atten-
tion upon it at the expense of dwarfing the moral nature, and
rearing up a race of intelligent worldlings. It is a fact wbich
will meet with universal admission that no person can be
more dangerous to community than those who have intellec-
tual education without moral principle. Let* France testify.
Experience has there demonstrated that in the departments
enjoying the highest intellectual cultivation, the greatest
amount of crime exists. Hence the best minds there, are
compelled to acknowledge that education in France has pro-
duced crime! It is a one-sided education — ^rather it is no ed-
ucation at all — only a mere development of the intellect to
the neglect of the divinest part of man.
Along with the intellectual, the moral nature must be de-
veloped, nurtured and trained in our schools. Man must not
only become learned in the sciences and in all worldly wisdom
but learned with respect to that higher and profounder know-
ledge without which he is uneducated indeed. In this har-
monious development of all that the human mind is, we have
insured to us the permanent and progressive well-being, pros-
perity and happiness of individuals and of a people.
Mere intellectual knowledge is a power that can be em-
ployed for evil as well as for good. It needs therefore to be
under the guidance and control of great moral principles.
When these principles are wanting, every thing in a country
is tending to utter disorder and ruin. There is no safety for
a State or a nation without them. You may have the wisest
government that can be invented and arm it with all the
checks upon wrong that can possibly be devised, but if you
have not at the same time a right system of education, if the
intellectual nature be careftilly trained and the moral neglect-
ed and even debased your best laws will be mere nulities,and
no earthly power can enforce them. Back of the law,back of
legislation, back of penalties, back of administration, execu-
tive and judicial authority lies, that which only can give force
and effect to these and which constitutes the only strong and
10
enduring foundation of national power and prosperity. This
great Eepublic may have its standing army and its powerful
navy, it may have its fortifications scattered along the whole
extent of its coast, and its walls of strength bristling with
cannon at the mouth of every harbor, it may multiply its
prisons, and dujigeons and scaffolds — ^and smite with its stem
and vengeful penalties on the outward forms of evil, but these
are not and cannot constitute its safe defences nor can
they guard securely its liberties. There are foes against
which these oppose no barrier whatever, foes more to be
dreaded than an invading armj — they cannot be filled by
cannon shot nor thrust through with the glittering bayonet
Chains cannot bind them, nor dungeon walls confine them,
nor gibbets strangle them. Intelligence in connection with
moral virtue alone can smite them down, and establish this
mighty Union upon the rock of safety forever.
It is important that I remark in this connection that the
highest intellectual and moral culture cannot be had without
the aid of physical training. It is impossible that there should
be a harmoniously developed soul in an undeveloped or a
partially developed body, a sound, vigorous healthy mind in
a detective, sickly, dwarfed and feeble physical organization.
The outward man then needs to be educated. And it is lor
want of proper physical education, that our thrifty sires are
fast being succeeded by a race of puny and imbecile sons
and daughters.
That the mind, whatever its nature and powers, acts through
the medium of organised matter, is a conceded point. The
body is the tenement,the mind the inhabitant. Here, in this
its earthly and temporal habitation, the soul thinks, and com-
munes, and sees, and hears, and speaks, and journeys from
place. It has palpable contact vith the material world
through the medium of the senses. It looks through these
windows, the eyes. The friendly word and the melody of
song thrill upon it along the auditory nerve. It feels and re-
turns the brotherly clasp of the hand by the ^ense of touch.
11
and breathes the Bioma of flowoni throng the nostrils* It
wills^rand the various memben of the body, doitsibidding^-*-
the feet -ruor swifUj on erratsda of mercj, the ha&d gfasps the
pen and writes down the thoughts that breathe and words
that bum. Over many ixinctions of Uie body it ezerdsesits
n^ysterions control. And such is the intimate connection 'ez«
istmg between the two, that they, either eqoy or soffer to«
gethen
We were saying that the mind acts throng the medinm of
organized matter. We wish now to say, that, to urge it Ibir-
ward,as istoo frequently done, by long continued and exoitiDg
labor, without the letet regard to the laws of •onv.physical
being, is absurd^ and attended by evils, the most manifest and
appalling. r . . .
These evils, in their incipient or matured development^
may be seen thronging our infEuat and distriot schools, es-
pecially those of our cities sad larger- villages, in the shap^
of shattered c6Dstitati(»is, or of meblal weakness and stupids
ity, while the nuserable hypochondriacs that are too frequent-
ly leaving our colleges and higher schools* of .learning, givia
melanchoUy evidence that even on classic ground aind- in
academic shades a fidse philosophy exerts its pernicious influ-
enee and deatmctive power. £very where shall we read .on
human forma around us, that human, eonstitutioqs have suf-
fered from the hand of violence— nfttujre's orgmuc iand vital
laws ontraged, and ruined and enfeebled body becoming that
tomb of the min4.
Multiplied and alarming are the evils which haye- originat-
ed, and do, now originate^ in the gentoal neglect o£ the: sdU
ence of physiology, upon' which our Bystems of eduiebti«n
aheuld mainly be based^ By this science we are iostrueted
in the nature and history of those fuaetions • the harmonious
action of which gives health and life. It shows us, too,/ what
are the opetcitions ^f the mind, as exhibited, throiigill this ^-
i;anited; materiality. The inaportantitruth w}mh it proclauns
here that all mental phenomena are exhibited in tfoiB life
13
tbrongh aa apparatus or organ denominated the brain — die
throne and seat of the intellectual operations — ought never
to be lost si^t of, especially by those employed in the work
of edncation. When this organ, the brain, is in a well de.
Teloped and healthy condition, the intellectaal manifestations
will be clear, vigorous and correct. Whenever disease in-
vades this structure, aberration of mind is the result, its de-
gree proportioned to the amount and force of disease, and
may be seen from the slightest eccentricity ^of character to
the most confirmed and raving madness.
Imbecility and idiocy depend upon a want of development
or upon a malformation of the brain, aU going to show that
the full development and healthy state of this organ is as
necessary to correct mental manifestatious, as of a healthy
stomach to active digestion, or of sound lungs to free inspir-
ation, or of free, strong muscles to vigorous locomotion. —
Long-continued and over excitement in any of these organs
tends to derange and weaken their powers* and if the aggres.
sions continue, their structure is soon implicated, their fdnc-
tions decline, and death is imposed as a consequence of their
•oessation. .
This offers a solution of the fact that pro^acted and severe
fludy, over- exciting and exhausting to the brain, is attended
with such pernicious and oft-times fatal consequences. Even
though the cause to which we have alluded might not destroy
Mfe, yet it would so weaken and disable the brain, that the
mind never thereafter would act with freedom or energy. —
Imbecility^ or even insanity, might be the result, and the in-
dividual, instead of living long and useftiUy, and making
bright as he thought to do, some pages of his country's hi»>
tory, linger throughSa few years of weak and miserable exis-
tenoe, and then descend into a pyemature grave. And all

apathetic to diK^ence and activity ; but look w6ll to those of

etherial or cast in a finer mould, respond so qnickly to the

to speedy exhanstion, and have been sacrificed by thoosands.
In the ardent porsnit of knowledge their days and nights
have been spent. They would rise early to distinction and
to fiime. But the golden visions, in whose enchantment they
moved, soon fitded from view and their snn which arose with
such resplendent glory, set in it very morning. EirkeWhite

Ho one at all acquainted with the laws of organisation need
be in doubt as to the cause of these sad and lamentable re*^
suljbi|. It was inordinate or excessive ment^ labor. It was
the frictwn^ so to speak, of the mind upon the body, that
brought on speedy dissolution. Nature's laws cannot be io-

Though this knowledge caime too late for him, let ns heed
the warning, soleqin and inypreaslTe, coming iq> "from the
tomb of departed genias and worth, and learn to take care of
•urselves. Especially ought those to heed it who would
make study the busiliess of life. For what bettor capital can

pursuit of knowledge, or triumph in the more c(mflicting

There is.evQry thing in Science interesting and attractiye.
Knowledge holds in her hands the elements of power. Hon-
or and fame throw a halo of glory all around her pathway.
What wonder, then, that her votaries consume themselves by
the ardor of their investigations f What wonrler that the ex-
cited efforts of the mind, its aspirations and yearnings, should
at times shake and shatter the feeble organization through
which it acts, and bring to a speedy and untimely close the
trials and struggled of its mighty Ambition ?
An illustration may be given from the London Quarterly
ItemetD. Speaking of the Education of Lord Dudley the
writer observes : "The irritable susceptibility of th^ brain
Was stimulated at the expense of bodily power and health.
His foolish teachers took a pride in his precocious progress,
which they ought to have kept back. They watered the
forced plant with the blood of life. They encouraged lihe
violation of Nature's laws, which are not to broken in vain.
They infriiiged the condition of conjoint moral and physical
existence. They imjirisoned him in a vicious circle, where
the overworked brain injurlad the stoniach, Which reached to
the injury of the brain. They watched' the slightest devia-
tions from the rules of logic, and neglected those of dietetics,
to which the former are a farce. ITiey taught him no exer-
cises but those of Latiu j and gave him a gradus instead of a
cricket-bat, and his mmd became too keen for its mortal coib
15
and the foundation was laid for ill-health, moral "weakness,
irresolution, lowness of spirits,and all the Protean miseries of
nervous disorders by which his after life was haunted.^
The present age is pre-eminently one of excitement and
mental activity. Every thing must go by steam, or with
telegraphic despatch. The fluctuations of business — the giant
speculations by which fortunes are gained or lost in a day —
the unbounded desire for wealth which is turning the world
upside down in search of gold — the frauds of trade and lying
arts of gain, — ^all keep in constant agitation hosts of men.
Our political contests, also, which are open to all, and which
in times of peculiar interest, or (luring our presidential cam-
paigns, wax violent and exciting in the extreme, arraying
section against section, and man against his neighbor, — all
are calculated to stir, and do stir the passions to their utmost
depths. Oonsider, b'kewise, our social condition. What
rivalry, what jostling for supremacy, what envies and
jealousies spread abroad their influences in every
conimunity, destroying health and happiness, and en-
trenching themselves across the path of all true prosperity.
And these great evils must increase more and more, until the
principles of physiology are better understood and applied —
until Education shall be so reformed that the laws of the Crea-
tor as adapted to self-regulation and protection shall be the
first great lesson taught — ^until mental cultivation and bodily
integrity and power shall be its great object, aim and end.
The principles which I have thus far sought to establish
and explain, are more particularly applicable to the periods
of childhood and youth. This brings us to the subject of
early education, — a subject oi universal interest, but which
in general is little understood.
The opinion is almost as prevalent and common as it is
wrong and pernicious, that the intellectual powers of children
should at once be called into active and laborious exercise,
■
and that the early spring-time of our being is the golden period
of education. Precocity of mind is so pleasing to most parents
46
that it ia aa object of especial desire, and whenever obeerved
it is urged forward bj all the motives which themselves and
teachers can inspire. Books are written for the express pur-
pose of supplying additional stimulus. Biographical notices
are often presented in our Sunday, and other schools, of early
prodigies of learning, whose intellectual and moral powers
were precociously developed, and who peacefully died in the
very morning of their being. These are held up to the minds
of children as examples worthy of imitation, and calculated
greatly to benefit the rising generation.
I never look upon such works but with deep regret, that
the subjects of them should have been sacrificed to a cruel
ignorance of the most intelligible laws of our physical exist-
ence. They should be held up as beacons of terrible warning,
to deter others from following in their misguided footsteps,
and sinking like them into a premature grave.
It is my firm conviction, founded upon much reflection and
observation, that this almost imiversal desire for early mental
development and acquisition, has done more to prejudice the
true interests of education, than all other causes combined. It
in fact strikes at the very root and source of these interests as
a philosophical view of the subject will clearly show.
The brain, the organ of the mind, in early childhood is
soft and delicate. The relative size of its different portions
constantly varies during several of the first years of life, and
it is not till about the seventh year that all its parts are fully
formed. It grows more rapidly than any other organ, and
more blood is sent to it in proportion to its size than to any
other. "We have a reason for this The predominating sys-
tem of childhood and youth is the nervous, which is earliest
developed. The organs at this period are chiefly devoted to
nutrition and growth, and the brain is required to direct its
undivided influence to their support. These facts demonstrate
how prejudicial strong excitement must be to the young,, es-
pecially when we add their proneness to affections of the ner-
vous system. Inflammation and dropsy of^the brain are fire-
17
qaent, while convalsions are among their most common difl-
orders. There are also some diseases which have a direct
tendency to develop unduly the brain, resulting in precocity
of mind and general feebleness. Mental excitement or early
study have the same effect, concentrating the nervous power
in the brain, and leaving the other organs to fall into conse-
quent decay. Here we may see why such havoc is frequerit-
ly made in young constitutions. Dr. Brigham, who gave
much study and attention to this subject, speaks as follows :
'^ Dangerous forms of scrofulous diseases among children have
frequently fallen under my observation, for which I could not
account in any other way than by supposing that the brain
had been excited at the expense of other parts of the system,
and at a time of life, when nature is endeavoring to perfect
all the organs of the body ; and after the disease commenced
I have seen with grief the influence of the same cause in re-
tarding or preventing recovery. The chance of the recovery
of such precocious children, is in my opinion, small, when at-
tacked by disease, while those less gifted easily recover." In
the light of these facts we see why such numbers fall victims
to a false system of education — this urging the too early and
undue development of the mind, till the health is seriously
undermined, or premature death induced.
In the early morning of life the system has enough to do to
develop and properly sustain itself, and education should be
mainly devoted to the wants and physical growth of the child,
and the moulding of the habits and moral disposition. In
this way health would be encouraged, and the foundation of
a final successful education amply and strongly laid. We
call the attention of parents and teachers to these important
considerations. Too long has the physical training of child-
ren, the development of bodily strength and power, been ne-
glected, while every means has been eagerly sought and ap-
plied to call into activity the intellect alone. Tbia k wrontg
and ruihons. By wise culture and discipline to secure a
etrongi vigorous, healib}^ body, — ^this should be the first great
2bb
18
object. There will be enough in the works of nature to engage
the attention and employ the mincL The excitement and
stimulus of books and school-drill and discipline are not need-
ed for young children. They are worse than useless, — ^they
are positively injurious. There are fields, gardens, groves
and pleasure grounds, where, breathing a pure air, so lavishly
poured out around them, they might amuse themselves by
cropping flowers, pursuing butter-flies, listening to bird-songs,
singing themselves, laughing, shouting, looking at curious in-
sects, stones, or other natural objects. Familiar lectures -on
some or all of the natural sciences, — always witli specimens
for their Ulnstration, — and these lectures anterior to their
learning to read, might be given to great advantage. While,
at the same time, habits that are forming their manners and
moral dispositions, kind and benevolent feelings, firmness and
cheerfulness under trial and unavoidable suffering, should be
daily cultivated as among the great duties of early instruction.
It is to book learning, jper sey at this tender age, that we do
most seriously and persistingly object. It is abomioable and
the extreme of cruelty, this confining young children in
school rooms, — ^and siu^ school rooms I — ^for six hours each
day, where their limbs are doomed to inactivity, and their
poor backs ache, — causing them to breathe impure air, while
au ocean of fresh and invigorating atmosphere forty miles
deep is all around them — ^and crowding upon their memories
words apd sentences of which they cannot know the meaning,
and which would be of no possible use to them if they could.
For them this whole process of what is termed education, has
QPt the least possible interest, but is rather abhorent and
disgustmg-. The school room is looked upon as a prison —
which too often it literally is— and of course is heartily detest-
ed. Their nativcf feelings which ar^e acute, and which delight in
that knowledge which nature addresses to the senses, f^re blunt-
ed) ftnd oea«e their beneficial operations. The result of their
soboplgoing 13 a deep, confirmed ^apathyi from which many
Qf them never; osn be amsakeaed.; qr if partly arotis94) their
19
minds, weakened and prejudiced by their false training, will
never again act with force or freedom.
Our District School* exhibit too many exam][>le8 of this
deplorable condition. The school houses are at fault Teachers
are at fault Parents are at fault The whole educational
process is at &ult. And the result is seen in the shattered
constitution, the ruined health, the enfeebled mind, the per-
verted moral sense, the nervoite ezcitabilif^, of blasted or
abused childhood. The common discipline of the schoolroom
too, is at fault The whip and the spur, the torture and the
shame, making bad infinitely worse, arousing into fearful ac-
tivity propensities, (fear, hatred and revenge,) which should
slumber or be repressed, — ^all this is wrong and pernicious.
Instruction falls powerless upon the subject of such a disci-
pline, and they grow up with habits of inattention and in-
difference, the curse and bane of their whole after exis-
tence.
How different and more auspicious would have been the
result, had they entered school at a proper age, with firm and
healthy bodies, brains, lungs, stomachs, and moving powers,
and had knowledge been imparted to them adapted to their
several capacities, calculated to quicken and enlarge their
native powers, and enlist at length the Ml and well directed
efforts of the mind. Their progress in science and in all es-
sential practical knowledge, eminently fitting them for the
active employments of life, would have been rapid, and there
would have been a necessity for repressing the ardor of pur.
suit, rather than of exciting and compelling, as is now almost
universally done.
Is there a practical teacher of any considerable experience
who hears me, who has not frequently observed the extreme
difficulty of imparting just and clear views of a science to one
who commenced its study before he could distinctly compre-
hend its principles. It is often much easier to ii^tmct those
of a mature age, and within a comparatively brief space of
time, in any branch of learning, than those who began the
20
Btadj too early, and continued it for yeans. The former
possess real knowledge, the latter only the memory of rules
and precepts, the jnst nature and application of which they
will not understand. We see then the folly and absurdity of
endeavoring to impose the sciences, in their exact and tech-
nical forms, upon the minds of young children. Theirs is
not the age suited to this kind of improvement ; and all at-
tempts to force abstruse and difficult knowledge upon them,
are in violation of the laws of nature and betray an ignorance
of the philosophy of mind.
Again it may remarked, that those who exhibit precocity
of mind while very young, do not in after life meet public
expectation, or manifest more than ordinary talent — ^frequent-
ly they fall far below this standard. They grow up to be
swayed by the judgment of those who were once considered
as vastly their inferiors; and to do homage before those
intellects, once dull and stupid compared with their own, but
whose slow yet healthy development has made them mighty
and majestic.
On the other hand, look at some of the great minds that
have left their impress ir.delibly upon the records of the
world, and we shall find that in early life they were not dis-
tinguished for the force or brilliancy of their intellectual pow-
ers. The boyhood of Sir Isaac Newton gave little or no pro-
mise of the bright and glorious future before him. Dr. Adam
Olark, a man of profound learning, was only distinguished at
seven years of age for rolling large stones. Patrick Henry,
the most powerful and brilliant orator of his time, was in
early life a byword for dullness, and the first time he appear-
ed in court, his father, then judge, turned his face from him.
Chancellor Kent, one of the first legal minds of this country
says, that his boyhood days werechiefly spent in roaming
over the fields, fishing, sailing, swimming, riding, and play-
ing ball, and that he was but superficially learned when he
entered college, and did not begin to study till he was 24
years of age. Schiller, the great German poet and distinguish-
21
ed schollar was noted, when a boy, for strolling about the
fields, and one day was found during a severe thunder storm
in a tree, trying to find where the thunder came from I —
These instances might be multiplied to almost any extent,
showing conclusively, that greatness of mind does not depend
upon the early development of its powers.
It was well said by the distinguished Spurzheim, that 'HJie
mind ought never to be cultivated at the expense of the body,
and physical education ought to precede that of the intellect,
and then proceed simultaneously with it, without cultivating
one faculty to the neglect of others, ior health is the base,
and study the ornament of education.^'
I will bring these remarks to a close by submitting a few
thoughts on the subject of parental duty and responsibility,
as connected with the education of the rising generation.
The parent being the natural guardian and protector of his
children, is entrusted with their proper culture and training,
nature and nature's Ood have charged him with this duty.*—
Somehow and somewhere his children will be educated, if
not under salutary home influences and the watchful eye of
the parent, it will be under the influences of the street^ tod
amidst evil associates. They will be trained in vice or vir-
tue. Their souls will slumber in darkness under the cloud of
of ignorance, or rejoice and expand in the genial sunlight of
acquired knowledge. In a greater or less degree they will
become degraded, lawless, vile and detested ; or refined, in-
telligent, useful and honored. The position they shall hold
in either scale will depend upon the kind and measure of ed-
ucation they receive. In proportion to the influence and
ability he possesses, the parent is responsible if they receive
other than a right education — ^an education that shall make
them true men and women, and qualify them for a faithful
and ef&cient discharge of life's great duties*
As the parent cannot, for many obvious reasons, superin-
tend or conduct in person the education of his children, so he
is obliged, in the discharge of his parental duty, to employ a
23
Bubstitate, and to entrnst this edncation to others. The per-
son thus chosen stands in loco parentis^ and is to do the work
of the parent. He is to aid in the de^relopment and training
of young immortal minds. The elements of a life that shall
nerer have an end are given him in charge — a life to which
the event of death is no abridgment, and across whose eternal
and npward pathway the grave throws no barrier ; and npon
him shall it depend, in no inferior degree — ^npon his labors,
his words, his deportment, his examples, aU that he is, and aU
AcU Tie doesy what shall be the character of that life — ^what
the measnre of its progress — ^what the fhlDess and ^lorv of
ite reward!
It is the business of the teacher, as of the parent whose
snbstitnte he is, to edncate — ^physically, intellectually, mor-
ally. In this, dien, the harmonious development of all that
human being is — ^lies the teacher's great work. He is to bring
out that which is within, and train it to the vigor, comeliness,
and perfect stature of manhood and womanhood.
Quite too often the process of education has proceeded up-
on the supposition — ^not that there was something within to
be brought up by careful nurture and discipline — ^but that
there was a vacancy, an emptiness, to be filled. To pour in,
to fill up, and not to develop from within outwardly, was the
work oi the teacher. It was a sort of cramming process — a
something not unlike sausage stuffing. Here was the material
all dished up and seasoned to the liking, and down it must
go. And when this fiUing-up process was completed, the in-
dividual was said to have finished his education. The capaci-
ty was exhausted, and the teacher, consequently, had nothing
more to do.
I hardly need say, that this formal and mechanical instruc-
tion is all false and wrong. This is not to educate, and all
knowledge thus obtained is mere parrot knowledge. The
child's own thoughts must be set agoing — his intellect
called into action — his enthusiasm enkindled. He must be
made to feel his own individuality as a rational and responsi-
23
ble agent. It is not our minds, but their minds, i^Iiich must
form the characters of our pupils. And the whole process (A,
education — ^what is it ? I^ot to implant our thoughts, or tile
thoughts of any man, in the mind of the child ; but with them,
or by the aid of them^ to stir up his own mind to tiie forma-
tion of his own ideas and character.
We learn from this that the work of the teacher requires
for its faithful and successful performance, the most carefod
and thorougn preparation. It will not do any longer to set
apart and consecrate to this work by laying hands on skulls
that cannot teach and will not learn. The time has pretty
much gone by when those who could do nothing else were
thought fit to teach a common school. It will no longer be
tolerated, tliat a man wha is unqualified to take proper care
of a horse or an ox, shall be entrusted with the deyelopment
and training of the immortal minds of our children. He who
eomes to the solemn office of instmctiDg a human soul that
shall never die, ought himself to be trained and disciplined.
He ought to feel that he is CDgaged in no common business,
but in that which demands and should absorb the best powers
of the mind and heart.
In the importance of the work of the teacher, requiring as
this work does, for its successful accomplishment, the most
thorough and careful preparation, we see what is the weight
of responsibility resting upon the parent, and what is the
measure of his obligation. And he has not acted up intelli^
gently to the degree of his responsibility, nor discharged the
lull measure of this obligation, when he has entrusted the care
and training of his children, for the time being, to one who
can simply ^'keep school," and who is willing to keep it, in
the absence of more lucrative employment, for meagre wages.
We would not entrust the custody and cultivation 0/ omf
farms to a person who had little or no knowledge of farm' la*
bor, and of the requisites for successAil management and til*
lage. If we did, I venture our now rich and productive
farms would yield only poor crops and small retturns. But
34
we would not do this. We would require of the one so en-
trusted a pretty thorough acquaintance with the principles of
agricultural science and their practical application — ^in other
words we would demand that he should be a pretty good
farmer ; that he should understand his business by under-
standing the nature, quality and capacity of different soils,
their adaptation to the various crops to be grown, and how
they should be prepared with reference to the most abundant
yield. For the services of such an one we would be willing
to pay liberally, and feel that we were the gainers by the
doing.
So if we were to employ a man to take care of our horses
and cattle, or a female to preside over our dairies, we would
see to it that they possessed the requisite knowledge and ex-
perience for their business, and could be safely trusted in
their several departments of laboi-.
But are lands, and horses, and cattle, of more worth than
the immortal minds of our children } And is the growth of
grain, and rich, bountiful harvests, of more imortance than
the careful culture of those minds, and the planting in them
of all right and good principles ? And shall we require ex-
tensive knowledge, and practical skill, and experience, and
faithfaluf ss on the part of him who superintends the cultiva-
tion of our farms, and not require equal preparation on the
part of the individual who takes our place in the education
of our sons and daughters ? This is the question for us, as
parents, to answer and decide. And on our answer shall it
depend whether land shall be more cared for and better im-
proved than mind, and whether horses and cattle shall be re-
garded of more worth than in;imortal souls.
Whatever may be thought or said of the responsibilities of
teachers, with respect of weight and extent, it is true after all
that the main responsibility in the matter of education — a re-
sponsibility higher, deeper, broader, wheightier, than that of
a^ others — ^rests upon parents, and they cannot throw it off.
Qpd has pl%ced it there, and there it will remain. It can
2ft
neither be shirked nor evaded. Whatever the means em-
ployed, or the agencies that operate in the work of education,
and whatever the results produced, the work, as I have said,
is that of the parent. The school house is such an one as he
builds, the books are such as he furnishes, the rules and regu-
lations are such as he approves, the teacher is his agent or
substitute, and the resmlts produced by them are all combin-
ed, whether good or bad, favorable or injurious, are to be
placed to the praise or blame of the parent.
It is a noble employment to train a young and rising gen-
eration for stations of usefulness and honor — to lead youth-
ful minds to the pure fountains of knowledge — to present to
yet unpolluted lips the living waters of truth and goodness.
To deck the outward person of the child — ^to possess him
^ ith worldly advantages — ^to bequeath to him an inheritance
of broad lands, and silver and gold — is all idle and vain,
compared with moulding and beautifying the mind, impart-
ing to it high moral excellencies, and filling it throughout
with the principles and hopes of a true christian life. This
material body is less than nothing when placed in contrast
with the inhabitant which occupies and animates it. It is the
embodied soul that is above all price. Possessed as he is of
this thinking, reasoning mind — of a soul that desires and
struggles and battles amidst the materiality and corruption
with which it is surrounded, and that is endowed with capa-
cities for the teachings of God and the knowledge that takes
in the universe — ^we may make the child all that is good and
great ; we may so mould his very nature as that when he has
become a man he shall reflect honor on his teacher, a glory on
humanity, and be in consequence of his correct principles,
moral deportment, and pure, devoted life, a blessing to soci-
ety, and the benefactor of his race.
Fathers and Mothers ! will you labor for so desirable a re-
sult as this { Will you see to it that your school shall help
to accomplish so noble an end in the education of your chil-
dren? Then, when you shall have done with the duties of
96
this life and have paaeed away, you wHl leave behind yon
those qualified to fill your places, to wield with safety to
themselves and their posterity the sovereignty with which the
constitution of their country invests them, and to bear upon
their shoulders and jealously guard the sacred ark of that
country's liberties.
In this connection I may very properly reiterate my views
with regard to the necessity of increased qualification for
teachers, and the duty of the State with reference thereto.
I said in my last annual report, that there is needed a far
larger supply than we have of thoroughly trained and com-
petent instructors for our public schools. And the question
was raised. How shall this demand be met and supplied t
Teachers' Institutes may assist in the work of qualifying
men and women for the duties of the school-room, and are
deserving of aid and encouragement from the State; but
proper and thorough instruction in the theory and practice
of the teacher's profession, can only be furnished by the
NoKifAL School.
I regard the action of the last legislature on this subject,
in part at least, as premature and ill-advised ; and the entire
plan as impracticable, and destined of course to fail. With-
out wishing to disparage in the smallest degree the claims of
our colleges and academies, or to call in question their useful-
ness, I unhesitatingly assert that it is utterly impossible for
them to iumish the normal instruction required, even though
the entire income of the School Fund were to be distributed
among them. The experiment has been fairly and faithfully
tried, and failed most signally and disastrously, as shown by
Mr. Mann's statement, copied into my last report, ITew York
expended $301,716.00 upon her academies to enable them,
if possible, to supply the deficiency of well-qualified teachers ;
and yet with all this aid in th^ establishment and maintain-
anee of Teachers' Deparments, they failed in accomplishing
the object sought It would be worse than useless, therefore,
to repeat the experiment in Wisconsin. We can hardly
27
afford to be taught, by the same sad experience, the insnffi-
ciencj of a like scheme. We may save time, money, and
the vexation and shame consequent upon defeat, by proceed-
ing at once to the establishment of a State Kormal School on
a wise and liberal basis. Kever shall we need snch an insti-
tution more than we do at the present time. I again respect-
fully urge this subject upon the attention of the legislature,
and shall hope for its favorable action in relation thereto.
I again take pleasure in presenting the people of Wisconsin
with the list of text-books recommended by this department
two years since. It will be found unchanged, for the reason
that no books have been found to excel those named, in point
of general merit.

The leading books on this list, I am happy in saying, have
been widely approved and adopted by the schools of the
State. Much has been accomplished on the behalf of uni-
formity, but it is highly important that more should yet be
done, and it would be of great advantage to our schools, if
even those who honestly believe other books to be somewhat
better, would yeild their judgment to the opinion of the many,
and allow our schools to enjoy that uniformity in books that
is not only important to poor and rich in an economical point,
but especially important to that class of teachers of which we
have so many, who are just beginning their own education as
educators, and to whom uniform books will offer advantages
as great as that uniformity offers to parents and pupils. I
again call attention to the importance of providing for addi-
tional branches of study in our public schools. I sa?d in our
last report that we need ior the attainment of the highest
object of the district school, that the course of instruction
therein should be more thoroughly practical in iis character, fit-
ting those who go out from such, so far as may be, for the
callings and employments of active life. To this end I should
be pleased to see added to the list of studies which the law
specifies as essential to be taught in our common schools, that
of natural history, embracing at least the elements of bot-
any, chemistry, zoology and geology. Agriculture might,
with great propriety, be added to this list.
I will add here, that studies ought be pursued in our
schools embracing the obligations and privileges of citizen-
ship. Hundreds and thousands there are who go out from
our common schools to take part in the management of our
political institutions — ^to wield a portion of the sovereign
power of this Union, with no other preparation for the enjoy-
30
ment of repablican rights and the discharge of republican
duties, than those schools famish thetn. Is it not of the
highest importance, therefore, that in those schools should be
imparted a knowledge of political economj — a knowledge of
the constitution and laws of the State and of the United
States? " To be ushered into life without this knowledge, is
to embark on the ocean ignorant of navigation, and at the
risk every moment of making shipwreck."
Nor must the study of anatomy and physiology be over,
looked. This too should have its place on the list of studies
required to be pursued in our common schools. The impor-
tance of these sciences canoot well be over-estimated. Could
our children be taught to know something of the laws and
principles which govern their physical nature, and by which
it should'be regulated, it would be of incalculable service to
them.
There are other topics I desire to present and discuss, but
will defer a consideration of them until I shall make addi-
tional report

In the last report of the Board, the history of the Institutiom
••'I.I • ' I ' •
' was bronght down to the 21st of Pecember,, 1856, Iji ac-
cordance with the sjtatute of last winter, changing the tenni-
^ hatfon of the fiscal year, this Report will cover the flr9t tl^ee
/ ^uajcters of the year 1857^ ending on the jhist oay of
October, which will, hereafter, be the date of. the Annual
Reports of the Board to the Legislature.
The endowment of the Umversity of Wisconsm has been
r
* d^BtiTM, wholly, firoqi the j;>roceeds of the sales of lands
.granted l^ CoQgiess, fojc the support «fi a aemimiry. of leam-
ing of the highest grade. Like grants have been .ina49 to
' eMh of the new S4ale8,,as the complemmt K» the endowment
^ oi the common schools by grant of the 16tfa' section in each
' township. The obvious intent of Congress has been to inau-
gurate a system of puUic instruitiott throughout the new
V Stales which shall offer every d^ree of intelleetual oulture to
K the young mind of the community ; and which, if wisely
administeied, wiD constitute an infj>ortant element in the
) advancement and conservation of American civilizatioa.
These university grants have been variously admintsleied by
> tli^ several States which have besn ledpienti of the bounty
'^eJF^CongreeK Of Ae aggregate amount of property, produc-
6
tire and unproductive, derived from this commaii 30uroe, die
shaie of the Univeisity of Wisconsin will not be behind ibmt
of the most fortunate of this class of Institutions.
This result has been reached by a vigilant and pains-taking
administration of the bounty ; guarding it alike, against the
greed of the speculator, the local interest of the settler, and
the cupidity of fancied rival educational institutions. At the
incipient ominizationi of the University, its whole endowmoit,
then present inid p^efir{iectiv^, - C(k»i9lrag in the appraised
value of the University _land grant, did not much exteed
$lSOfiOO. On this slender foundation the superstructure was

^^^ .An act waajpassed by th^ last Legisktnre mfibJUpg the
. Board of Regents tomorrow jS40^000 from, the priiwipaliof.the
tlniTersity Tund. for the construction of the naain edifiee of
the University^ to contain all^the,pi^blic rooms required, iA.an
institution of learning; of the first class. After much con^-
tation^ the Boarc^ adopted a plan for the edifice^ of the IV>manr
JOpric style of architectjure^ combining beauty of outline "with
rConvenience. of inte^rnai arrangemeijit The drawings were
furnished by William Tinsley, Esq.^ of Indianapolis, an archi-
tect of experience and distinction.
The edifice will contain a chapel ; a lecture room for each
department, with study anne:y:ed for the use of the Professor;
apartments for library, apparatus, cabinet and for collections
ifi natural skcience, and in ail . , : , •
Contracts have been executed for the erection of the build-
■ • • ■ ' ' '
ing, at a' cost of thirty-six thousand five hundred and fiiity
dollars, exclusive of excavation and services of superintendent
The fitting up . and, furnishing of the several aj^rtments in
prep^ation for their uses^ will absorb the balance of th,e buijd-
ing fund, and trench, somewhat, on the annual income of the
Instituition. . , ^ ,
On opening the departments of instruction in the edifiofi^ a
new f ra will be inaugi|Urated in the history of the Univeiii^ity,
to which its antecedent operations have been prop^ly intro-
ductory. The Board are quite unwilling to defer the occupa-
tion of the building beyond the opening of the collegiate year
in September, 1858 ; and they will not be compelled to do so^
I'
if the building fund become available as rapidly as tfaA oon-
atniction of the work can be safely urged on. •.
. At the time of the paernge of the law, aadioriziiig the
Board to borrow 040,000 from di^ principal of the TTniTennty
Fund, for the erection of this edifice, the proceeds of the
antecedent sales of ITniversity lands had been mainly inrested,
and the subsequent sales, up to the first day of October, the
' date of this Report, have not been large. The Board have
been able, however, to make such arrangements, as to jostify
the commencement of the substructure, and the prosecutioft
of the work through the autumn of the present year, 1857.
' After providing for the current expenditures of the Institution,
all the surplus income will be strictly devoted to the prosecu-
idon of the work, till completed and ftirnished.
As at present advised, the Board are of opinion, that the
receipts, into the State Treasury, of the principal of the Uni-
versity Fund will not exceed ten thousand dollars, during the
coming year. The whole proceeds of the sales of the residue
of the University lands, will not exceed twenty-five thonsand
dollars ; and of this sotn but ten per cent will be paid into
the treasury, according to the requirements of law; and
it is not to be presumed that, under the monetary pressure
which is likely to prevail for the coming year, any consider*
able amount will be derived to this fund fi-om. voluntary
payments by settlers, or by non-resident purchasers.
In consideration of these facts, the Board would pray for
such additional legislation, as will enable them to prosecute
with vigor, and to an early completion, a work of undoubted
interest to the cause of education in the State. A power to
borrow from any funds, subject to loan, in the hands of the
Commissioners of School and University Lands, would con-
stitute the relief desired by the Board, in case of any deficien-
cy in the treasury of moneys belonging to the principal of
the University Fund.
No change has been made in the departments of instruction

The opening of thja University Schools of I«aw, and M^i-
..i(ine, has been al^o deferred by the Board, till after the . fac-
tion of the main edifice.
In the further development of the University, the Board
aie aware that- the period is not distant, when the cause of
.education in Wisconsin, will require, and the means of the
' Institution will justify, a further division of inat^ctional labor.

" is noti^ in process W being conclusively tested at Antibch
' Gdlloge/tmder the PMisidency of Horace 'Mann. It may be
alleged that public sentiknent in Wisconsin is not yet ripe for
dispensing '^(h separate female schools; still the Board
".'deem it right to prepare to meet the wishes of those parents
icwho desire Univerrity culture for their daughtiers, by extend-
I ing to «U sueh the privileges <sK the Institution. The residence
of the fiuntlies of the faculty ih the buildings, and the admir-
able conduct of the commons hall, will, render the inember-
ship of female pupils, pleasant, economical uid safe.
The exteiision^ of thie accommodations for the board of
University students is a measure of vital importance to the
success and usefulness of the Institution. The Executive
Committee have been instructed to report to the Regents, at
their aiinutl meeting in January, some plan of improvement,
which fihail be adequate to the growing patronage of the
University.
The Cabinet of Mitierals has been set up in the room
temporarily furnished for it, in the south college. It is now
a very valuable collection, the speciiiiens purchased last year
^m Professor Garr, for the sumof $1200, having been added
to the original collection made by the gratuitous agency of H.
A, Tenney,Esq,
Through the munificence of Hon. L. J. Parwell, the Uni-
' verstty has, during the past year, come into possession of a
collection in Natural History, comprising the Fauna of Wis-
consin and of the Northwest, and enriched by specimens
fiom oth^ portions of this Continent and from the Old World.
• A skillfhl taxidermist has been employed to put the collection
into a state of 'preservation in preparation for its removal to its
appropriate location in the central edifice.

Th^ year 1856-7> now about to close, lias been one of
substantial ]!»Tosperity . to tlie important eaucatioiial ' interest
coQnded to your care.
In compliance" with a standing omer bf tlie Boaro, the
several Professprs have made detailed reportij orme'cohdrtiopf
actioiiy and w^^ of their riBspQclive departments, 'wTiicn I
herewip lay before you,. , , ^
The instructional forca of the 'University, duy^ing tfie first
or fait term of the year, consjsted pf the* Chancellor/ tHree
l^rofessoris, a Tutor, and ,a Frencji iTeacher employed teiii^-
rarily, during the vacancy in the chair'of Modem Lan^akgeSy
occasioned by thd resignation of Professor 'B*hchs. Tfie Tro-
fesapr of Chemistry And It^aturaf Ijistoiy was absent' onl^ve
for the ennre term. . ' ^
During the second term the !l^aculty was full,' With the iMc-
By the dactfon of Professor Korstetner to Ihe dialr of
^ Modem Languages and Literature/' and his emtrance om
the duties of the office, the Faculty of Arts has been filled^
and instruction has been rendered in all the departments dur-
ing the summer term, subject to the interruptions occasioned
by the temporary absence, on leave, of the Professor of Ma-
thematics, on account of sickness in his family, and of th#
Professor of English .l.ilereilGr6 dnhng attendance on the
Board of Examiners at West Point, and the purchase and
collection of books for the University Library.
There is fiQ principle ol^ more nv>inoni, in tha conduct of
an Institution of learning, than a rigid ordeir, both in instruct
tion and disc^pUn^, ^nrhick assigns a time and a place for
ey^Tf duty, and secures its performance in its own time and
placa Absence of members of the instructional body, during
term time, bvedcs thii^ otdei; and Ihe ednsideraiioii of -do«tte
duty when present, eVen if rendered, is by no mean/9 an
amende adequate to the eviL I deem it proper, therefore^ in
revising the statutes of the University, to' recommend such
provisions as may tend to secure a prompt and continued at-
tendance, during term, confiding to the Executive Committee^
■ ill the recess of the Board, the sole power of granting leave
of absence, when justi&eii hf the reasons of the special casa
The good officer, with, his heart in the cause, will accept
cheerfully the most stringent provisions on a point of such
vital interest to the order and success of the Institution
The,, daily naeoting of the whole Collegiate body in the

These several topics were pursued with interest by all, though
with various success — ^the advantage generally being on the
side of those who approached this class of subjects, through
a previous mathematical and classical training. My personal
instructions have been extended to several other classes dur-
ing the year, according to the demand for assistance in the
other departments.
Of the students of the University for the year ending the

REPOIfcT €ff T^B EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
i
To ^ the .Board (^ Regents :
The Executive Committee, charged with the administratioii
of the University during recess of the Board, have, at stated
and called meetings, continued to exercise the general powera
conferred upon them under the hy^laws, as the exigencies ol
the Institution seemed to require, and have executed the spe-
cial orders of the Board requiring action on the part of the
Committee.
*
They have the satisfaction to be able to report the Univer-^
sity in a sound and healthful condition, enlarged in its means
of instruction, enjoying the confidence and commanding the
patronage of the public. The extension of the boarding
establishment will occupy the attention of the Committee^
and, in compliance with the order of the Board, report wiU
be made on that subject at the annual meeting in January.
Mr. Madison Evans resigned the office of Tutor at the
close of the last academic year. Mr. John F. Smith, a grad>
uate of the University, has been appointed to the vacant post^
and is now in the successful discharge of the duties of the
office.
Accounts against the University have been audited, from
time to time, and warrants have been issued by the Secretary
on those which have been allowed.

For a mora perfect understanding of the doings of the
Committee^ the Board are referred to the Secretary's record of
their proceedings, and to papers on file in this office, of whidi
profert will be made at the call of the Board.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF BUILDING COMMITTEE.
To the Board qf Regents qf the University qf fVisconein :
The BuUdiDg Commiltee of the Board of Regents, to -whom
vas entrusted the procuring of a plan for the Central Uni-
Tersitf Edifice, and to adrertise and receive proposals for
building, and award a contract for the same, hare discharged
that duty in a manner satisfactory, it is believed, to all con-
cerned and for the best interests of the institution. The plan
finally accepted, was furnished by Mr. Tinsley, of Indiana,
and the contract for the building awarded to James Campbell,
of Madison, for the entire work complete, at 036,550, he being
the lowest bidder therefor.
The stone work of the basement story is already in an ad-
vanced state of forwardness, and it is hoped and expected
that it will be completed this fall,se as to enable the cotnmit-
tee, should their finances permit, to complete the entire struc-
ture on or before the Ist day of November, 1858.
The exterior plan of the building is a model of architec-
ture, imposing and massive ; and the internal arrangements
are such as to most fully meet the wants and necessities
of the institution, in all its several departments, so far as they
could be foreseen, and provided for in advanc&
36
Tbe committee submit the results of their labors in fall
confidence Aat they will meet the approval of the Board and
public generally.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
H. A. TENNEY,
CfCn Building Committee,
Madison, October ist, 1857.

The instruction in this depslrtment Is given by lectures
and demonstrations on the part of the Professor ai^d students,
together with examinations.
The recitation of the student consists in his giving a lec-
ture, illustrated with experiments and demonstrations on the
same subject and after the manner of the Professor^ thus not
only necessarily acquiring an intimate knowledge of the
subject discussed, but at the same time the facility of com-
municating his knowledge.
The subjects discussed are such as constitute the Philoso-
phy of common life and the useful arts..

the Gmnunai of FatqueUe ; for the German, he follows the
coarse of Woodbury ; yet he treats the topics contained in
the different lessons, as far as possible, independently, accord-
ing to his own judgment After having acquired a certain
proficiency in the fundamental and grammatical roles of the
language, the student is led gradually into the very heart of
' il^ by Bieans of reading, writing, and conversational ezeidsses.
It is deemed neoeasary for the student to acquire the art of
thinking in the language the study of which he pursues, —
therefore, as soon as he is far enough advanced, he is required
to write letters and essays, which are critically corrected by
the Professor. For the reading exercises, are used Wood-
bury's and Fasquelle's Readers, at first, and for the advanced
classes are proposed, any classic authors of the language, as,
for example, the works of GcBthe, Schiller, Jeain Paul Rlchter,
Lossing, &C., of Lamartine, Chateaubriand, Racine, Comeille,
Moliere, &c.
In the advanced classes, the Professor adopts the plan of
' conducting the exercises entirely in French and German,
whereby the conversational powers of the student will be de-
veloped. The Professor will, at the beginning of each
academical year, form beginning classes, with which he will
pursue the course above described.
The Professor of this department will also form a class in
vocal music, at the beginning of each academical year, and
'eive during the year, as members of it, such students only
1^ qualified to join the class by previous instruction in
as. 9f^ "ittging. The choir of the Hniversity t^ill render

The families of several of the members of the Faculty re-
side in a portion of the new edifice, and take their meals in
the hall. Students are admitted to the several tables of the
Faculty at a charge not exceeding two dollars per week.
Many of the students board themselves at their rooms, at
rates varying firom 111 to $1 50 per week.
Washing is done in laimdry for forty^four cents per dozen.
As the expenses of this establishment are to be defrayed
out of the current receipts, it is strictly provided, that no stu-
dent shall be admitted to board in the hall, till he shall have
deposited, with the Steward or the Chancellor, |[25 for the
term of thirteen weeks, or at the rate of two dollars per week
for any less time ; also $5 for washing — ^the proper drawback
in each case, if any, t^ be paid to the student, at the close of
the term. •

REPORT
OF THB
STATE PRISON COMMISSIONER
OF THB
STATE OF WISCONSIN.
^^^W^«N^«^
Stat£ Pbiboh OunoB) Waapmi, Jan. iy ]i86&
To His Ekeellneoj,
ALEXANDER W. BANDALI^
Gfou&morqf Wisctmrnk:
Bm:— In consequence of my inability to obtain money on
my appropriations, settlements with the parties baring cTaims
against the prison -were necessarily deferred nntil after the
time fixed by law for making my annnat report Hy anxiety
to report in Ml the whole oi my official acts, induced me to
defer, and is tibe only apology I have to oifer fbr delay.
On iSie 1st day of Jannary, 1857, as appean from my Ittt
report, there were confined in prison 108 prisoners, since then
I have receired 109, which makes the whole number iii pris-
on for the last year, 310, fifty of whom I have discharged,
which leaves in prison on the 1st of Jannary, 1858, 160 pris-
oners ; which makes the average number for the past year,
ohe hundred and thirty-five and one-third, being an average
increase of about forty five and two-thirds, l^his fact shows
that crime is fearfoUy on the inerease, the cause of
shoTxldy if possible, be discovered and the proper remedy ap-
plied. Of the namber of convicts received bj me, within
the last two years, seven of them have served their times in
this institution under my predecessors in office. They did not
seem to have any horror for returning, but looked upon the
institution as a secure harbor of repose, rather than a place of
punishment.
The remedy I would suggest for this is a more rigid enforce-
m^t of discipline^ withontr which our 3tat^ Prieon b no mocv
ttem kn expensive Immbug, a huisance of a State college for
young criminals to graduate in, and then be let loose upon
the community no wiser, but more wicked men than they
were whon they first cauie in. , If thf y are t9 be go vended up-
on the humanitarian principles, it would be much better to
leave the government and. support of aach an institution to
an association of philanthropists, than it would be to have the
State a party to such expensive folly.
In my last annual report, the balance of indebtedness for
the current expenaes and fbr. convict labor, was reported bj
me to be $8,076.68. A farther investigation has enabled me
to discover that my predecessor had paid several sums of mo-
ney to convicts and neglected to charge it to them on the
Prison books, in all amounting to $208.62, which reduces tlie
indebtedness of 1856, to twenty-seven hundred and sixty-eight
dollars and sixteen cents. To which add the sum of thirty-
six thousand one hundred and twenty -five dollars and ninety-
nine cents, as the total indebtedness for 1857, which make the
whole liability of the prison for the past and present year,
$38,894.13. I have also received from coavicts on entering
the prison, money to the amount of one hundred and fifty nine
dollars and fifty-six cents, which I have charged myself with ,
which, if added (o the above foremontioned sums, makes in
ih the sum of $39,058 71

Which is properly chargable to thcr current expeiise£^of
1858, and should be tatto from my estiniate of tBe imotint
to provide for the current expenses ol th^ ensuing year! For
a detailed sta\;ement of the faints, I~ refer you to tiie foUbwfng
tables, whieh h'ave been' carefully prepardd by my e£Scieat
Deputy, Ml*, ^ohn Lowite.
The whole Valance of indebtedness, reported by me ms due
on the Slst day of December, 1856, was $2,976 68,
In arriving. a t,.this conclusion, I took certain' balances which
purported to be due prisoners for over- work, on a prisoner's
account book kept by ray immediate predecessor. On a strict
investigation, I have since found that some of these balances
were settled and paid, even before I took possession of the
C!ommissi9ner's office, and that the true balance, due at the
close of tl^e year 1856, should be somewhat less than was
stated in my report for that year, and amounted properly to
•. $2,7^8 16, which I phall assume to be the correct balance of
indebtedness against the Prison for the year 1856. . ,

MAIN BUILDING. .
The Legislature last wii^ter fiji{>re|^riatod $1^3,000 to be ap-
pliediin constrncting the main building. I am happy to saj
ithat ivie havf made^conaiderable progress in its construction.
The open winter was fayorable tp.iuk The building is now
closed in, aqd secure from, the action of the frpst As its con-
struotaon h%9 created some curiosity in cposequence of the
charges that were preferred agaipst m^ for the alkged alter-
ationi I was charged with making, a brief dee<tf^tlon -of this
monument of State pride may not be uninterestuig to the tax-
payers of this States- The building is situated north and joins
to the south wing, which was built by Andrew Proudfit, Esq.
^e b^iUdipg is serenty-twp ffet . fr^nl^ by eighty-flve deep^
four stories high, with fimt octagons, in o^e of which there is
a flight of stone winding stairs, that le^ from the Commiss-
ioner's Office to the. top of the octagon. The basement is di-
Tided into fonr principal rooms, the west, part of which is de-
signed for the use of convicts, for cooUag, wadiiDg^ Ac The
east part is intended for the use of thh Oommissioner and his
fitmily. The floors are flagged with stone, and the cellans and
corridors are to be- arched over with' briok. The principal
story is intended for a Guard Boom and Matron's Boom.
The east side of the building is intended for the Superintend-
ent's Office, Sitting Boom and Deputy Warden's Office, and
a fire proof vault. The partition wf^Us in this story are piin-
eipally stone. The rooms are spacious and well ventilated.
The height of story is 12 feet 5 inches from floor to ceiling.
Theire are two flights of stone stairs, one leading from the
basement to the principal story, and the other from the piin-
eipa^ story to the Hospital. In a word, the building is de-
iigbedtobi^aAntoHjr^fli^ proof as' possible. The extemkl
appearance of the bfrildizig, aad ' the intefnal arrangement,'
reAeetd great credit on' the architectSy Messrs. Mygatt A
Sehmidtner, who designed it, and Messrs. 0. B. Whitton, and
Wyatt, and ShoefBer, who carried bat the design. Mr. Bhoeffletr
the master stone-cntter, is deserving of special notice, for th4
tteefaanical skill and ability he hAs displayed in teaching the
ctoTicts in this mnchto-be-admired art ; and the willingnesd
they hare evinced to learn and tiaake themseltes nsefnl ihA
gratifying to me, and profitable to tho State. ^
llie second story consists of a male and female Hospital^'
Siiperintendent's parlor, library, bed rooms and nursery. The
#9male hospital is so arranged that there is no communication

this story is to be used for convalescent hospital, bed rooms
and closets, and there is in it a water tank, 10 feet by 10 feefc
6 inches in width, and 5 feet 4 inches deep, from which soft
water is to be conducted by pipes to the various departments

The upper or attic story on the east side is divided into fouir
large sleeping rooms by brick partition walls, upon which rests
the roof, and are designed to support the cupalo or bellfry.
These rooms are lighted by small windows between brackets
that support the cornice, l^is is a departure from the origiii-
al design, but I think a justifiable one, as it will make these

mi4 I am satisfied it is the ohesjpeat and most durable covep*
1^ we could put OQ, and more in keeping widi that class of
ImUdings than any other roof would be. The slate has bee9

J. herewith subjoin an estimate of the yalue of conyiot li^
fordone on t)i# main building during the past year, from
which it IS ssceriained, that aft^r deducting the amouivk
jpaid tf>r outside labor, that the convicts employed on the main
)»i41diDg eam^ $16,5Q1.78, to which add the provisions and
building material unconsumed auni unused ss per inventorisa
.J^with, $12,978.09 ; which if you dedot |29»589.83 from
$36,125.99, it will show that the institution for the past yew
4[)ply cost the, Stajte $6,58fi.l7« ID^ese conclusions are based
upon facts and figures, to be found in the tables contained in
this report. In fact I might almost demonstrate that the ii^-
^tutioQ, for the past year, supported itself. I am satisfied
4bat the State could not get the work done by contiaot
in the manner we have done^ for less than fifi;y thoosand dol-
lars.
• In the present financial crisis, I will not recommend the
Legislature to appropiate anj more for the main bailding
Chan whal is necessary to pay for the material already purchas-
ed, and what may be necessary to pay for slate, lime, sand and
glass. There is five or six excellent carpenters in die carpenter
shop, that can, under the direction of a proper man to snperin.
tend and direct them, do all the carpenter work. The amount
I would recommend to be appropriated is as follows^ to wit:
To defray the current expense of tha prison for the ensu-
ing year, and to complete the main bnildinj^, • |85,000 00
To pay the balance due on the indebtedness of '67, • 4,838 10
Balance due for constructing the main building, • 6,184 96
' Total amount necessary to be appropriated, • • 146,028 11
Several of the parties to whom it»e State ia indebted for
supplies furnished the priaoj^ have expressed a desire to hai^i
the amounts due to them approropriated direcftly to tibedir
selves, in order to pass their claims over to their creditor ;
and in order that the Legislature may do so understandingly
and correctly, I give the names oif the parties and the
amounts due to them. I hope that their request will be com-
plied with.
Messrs. Mygatt A Schmidtner claimed from me some ettth
compensation for services rendered, as did some Other men
employed in the construction of the main building ; but I
deemed it more prudent for me to refer such matters to whom
it properly belonged. AH I can do is' to say that they are
deserving of liberal consideration and I hiEive no doubt but
ihey will receive what is just and right from you.
The Legislature appropriated three thousand dollars to lay
the foundation of a wall around the prisoUi but I did not upe
any of ;t for the, purpose it was appropriated| believing it was
better to secure the main building than it would be to com-
mence and leave them all in an unfinished state.
There is another reason why I did not comsieoce the wail
and it is this : The south wing is situated on the extreme
southern line of the priaon gronncL This I •deem to be wrong,
as it wonld bring the houses ol the citizens in too close con*
tact with the prison, so much so that thej could, from their
own houses talk to the prisoners in their cells. To obviata
this, I would recommend the purchase of a strip of land sondi
of the prison, before any wall is built I would recommend .
the Legislature to abandon the idea of building the nortli
wing, and make, provisions for the building of a Slate Priaoa
for those that are sentenced for life, and for periods of from
five to ten years, and let the present prison serve for the con-
finement of those that are guSIty of petty offence. I could
assign a great many good reasons for this recommendation, if
time and space would allow. I will let one suffice, and that
is, that their will never be a market for convict labor at Wau-
pun, as it costs too nftich for transportation of telw material,
and of the articles when manufactured, to make it pay, and
• there will never be any competition. The Legislature should
give this subject their serious consideration.
The following statement wUl show how much material and
labor of citizen mechanics has been purchased for the
erection of the main centre building of the Prison, in the
year 1867,

4iict in office. As yoa are aware, I did appear before ium,
on the 15th of January las^ for the purpose of aaBweria^
diofle charges. Not knowing what personal malice might
prompt these reckless men to do, I employed MessiB. Byan &
AmcAd to defend me ; bat after sabjecting me to heavy ex*
pense, the charges turned ont to be pure fabrications. They
utterly failed to prove that I was even guilty of an oQicial
indiscretion.
In view of these facts, I thought the Legislature would
iiave (without hesitation) appropriated to me as much money
aa would have indemnified me for the loss I sustained by rea-
son of the unjust prosecution. The very official act that in*
duced these reckless mea to prefer these charges against me
^as an act that saved the State over thirty thousand doUara^
Therefore it is unreasonable and usjnst fbr the State to refuse
to pay me the full amount of my reasonable demand^ while
tiiey pay the parties that preferred the charges they were ua-
aUe to maintain. They refuse to pay me the sum of eighteen
bundred dollars, and even refused paying me eiglit hundred,
although the State Prison Committee, by A Scott Sloan, re-
ported a bill to appropriate to me that amonnt, but because
flie Ooveruor had not decided the case, the Legislature refosed
to allow the amount so reported.
I awaited on the Gk)vemor several times, but could not get
him to decide. My counsel waited on him, but to no pur-
pose« Finding myself thus baffled and abused, I procured
the passsge of a resolutian through the Aesembly, calling on
the Governor to give a decision in my case ; but he paid no
regard to it. Another resolution was passed, calling on him
to decide, and publish his decison, with the testimony in the
ease ; but he neglected to do either, and leaves the public to
draw their own conclusions as to my guilt or innocence ; and
the Legislature allow me to labor under pecuniary cmbatrass*
ment by refusing to pay me what I was justly entitled to.
Now I respectfully submit that the Ojvemor's neglect of
dnly should not be allowed to delay the payment of my daim '
3d
17 longer. It will be seen that a large amount of it has
)en paid for counsel fees. I have credited myself on the
nson books for $660.00, which I paid Messrs. Byan & Ar-
Ad ; but that is a small portion of the expense that I have
)en subjected to. There is yet due and unpaid $1,160.00.
lat amount I hope you will immediately provide for by an
>propriationy in doing which yon will do no more than sim*
0 justice to me and to the people. I am satisfied they do
>t wish to deprive me of the emolument of my ofElce, by
impelling me to defend myself at my own expense, when I
ire acted in good faith and done what I thought and proved
> be for the public good.

TRUSTEES' MgfOBT.
To His ExCELLBNCr, COLSS Bashfoad,
Oovemor qf the State qf TFisconsin :
The Board of Trustees, charged with the management of
the Wisconsin Institute for the Education of the Blind^ would
respectfully submit to the Legislature, through your Excel-
^ncy^ the Eighth Annual Report of their official labors on
behalf of the State.
It is a source of extreme gratification to the Board, to be
able to present their interesting charge as in a very flourish-
ing conditioa Another year's experience, with this one of
the educational interests of the State, has but served to iii-
crease their conviction of its utility, and they would earnestly
commend it to the continued fostering care of the Legisla-
ture.
The several officers employed in the ministration of the
internal affairs of the Institute^ have discharged their respec-
tive duties during the past year with A^elitY^ and are emi-
nently entitled to the confidence of the public
For 9f full history of the internal management and opera-
tions of the Institute since our last seport, your Excellency is
referred to the appended report of the Superintendent^^ to
whoap the details of its management are confided.
The Board fully unite with the several su^estions and
commendations of the Superintendent, and ask for them the
earnest consideration of the Legislature and yourself
The report of the Building Committee, also 6ubjoined^ will
make you acquainted with the details of our building opera-
tions since the date of our last report From it you will per-
ceive that the interior of the center building and east wing,
with the exception of the third, fourth and attic stories of die
former, have been cmmf leted in a neat and substantial man-
ner, such as best comports witlvthe character and design of
the Institute. In addition to the interior, we have also caused
to be erected the wall of an area along the entire south front
of the building. This is constructed of stone masonry, and
is very substantially built.
Following the example of all other similar institutions, East
and West, the Board have introduced gas pipes throughont
the building, during its progress, and while they could be
concealed without marring the floors and walls, as would be
^e case if done at some future time, after the building shall
have been finished.
These pipes were not put in with the expectation of procur-
ing a supply of gas from our city works, for we are too remote
from them to admit of this, without incurring more expense
than would seem expedient. Our plan is to manufacture our
own gas with some one of the portable gais-machines now
successfully used, in many parts of the country, in both public
apd private buildings. They are quite simple and compara-
tively inexpensive. .
'^his apparatus will be introduced as soon as the means of
the Institute tvill justify the expenditure ; for it is highly es-
sential, not only as a matter of economy, but also as a pre-
ventive against accident by fire. For though the pupils do
not themselves need to handle lights of any kind, yet they
are extremely liable to danger from those left in their way by
others. The greater safety of gas, consists in the matter of

' '^oril'amiijg the btiUding the Board, after a caieful eofi^
Mde^atiiyn of the various systems in u^, ^conelUdM to adopt
^at knc^Mra as Gold's Patent Steam Heating' Appamtns^ and
entered into a contract tor its introduction with Messrs. Wal-
"worthy Hubbard & Co., of Chicago, agents for the ' Stale <tf
Wis^nsin. The necessary fixtures have been put up in a
fMisiactoiry nianner, and the apparatus is now ready for lii^
We have, of course, had but little opportunity as yet to test
its efficiency, but have full confidence in its successful oper-
aii(m.
In the .application of the above named system, the apart^
mentr are warmed by direct radiation from sheet iron con^
densers placed in them. These radiators vary in size and.
number to suit the dimensions of the rooms, and are of smIi
a form as to occupy but little space. They are filled wMi
ateam, at a very low pressure, which is conveyed to them
Ikroagh iron pipes, from a boiler placed in the o^ar and •»-
ieloaed by heavy stone masonry.
The water, formed by^ condensation in the radiators, retnntti
19 the boiler by the same pipes which convey the steam (e
them. A perfect circulation is thus kept up between the boiltt
and the radiators, preventing the loss of heat which wouM
take pkee if the condensed. steam were allowed to escape.
Attached to the boiler are several contrivances for r^gultl-
ittg the draft, the sui^ly of water, and the pressure of steaMiy
Ikus making it a complete self^regnlaiaiig apparatus, and re-
moving all liability to danger. This renders the whole dnnig
»mmfl^ in its openitioa as to require the direct caie of no
but aa oidinary fireman in iIb managonent

step we are confident that the best interests of the State and

large.
We have dwelt somewhat at length upon this subject, be-
«« w. b*,e i. «, b, «. of e,«».l u««« «, o« ««.
at this time, when she is meeting so many jpubllo buildings ;
and we feel it to be our duty to offer our modictfta of «K]^-
ience, by way of suggesiiony to those hating thefnin chafge.
There is ptobably no one thing pertaining to the constitietien
of pubhc buildings which is of greater moment than proper
methods of warming.
In fitting up the laundry and bathing rooms of the build-
ing, we have also adopted the use of steam in these for heat-
ing water, drying clothes, &c, thereby rendering these domestic
operations more expeditious and convenient
The Trustees, while they have ever kept in view tl\e prin-
ciples of true economy in the construction and^ fitting up of
the Institute buildings, have felt it incumbent upon them to
unite permanency and good taste with adaptedness to the ob-
ject ; so that, in these respects, as well as efficiency of ^ man-
agement, the Wisconsin Institute will lose nothing by com-
parison with other similar establishments. East or West This,
they flatter themselves, they have thus far succeeeded in doing,
and that at a small cost, compared with the outlay Sot similar
objects in other States — the total amount expended upoa the
buildings up to this time being only about forty-three thou-
sand seven hundred dollars. True, they are not yet completed ;
Ibut the suni still needed to perfect them, cannot swell the en-
tire cost to an equality with that of almost any other institu-
tion for the Blhljd, as Will be seen by reference to the following

The work yet to be done upon the main building and
grounds of our Institution is as follows, viz. :
1st The joinery, plastering and painting of the third, fourtk
and attic stories of the center structure.
2d. The construction of the cupola, portico and verandab
of the same, together with the piazzas of the east wing.
3d. The erection of stone walls and steps to enclose the
areas under the piazzas above named.
4th! The construction of two large cisterns and as many
wells.
5th. The extension of the warming apparatus and plum-
ming into the third story of the central division of the build-
ing.
6th. The putting up of a small apparatus for manufacture
ixig gas for lighting the building.
7th. The grading of the grounds and enclosing them with
a substantial fence.
Beside the completion of the main buildingi tic^ as above
specified, a commodious shop building, suitable for the eany-
ing on of several mechanical branches, is highly essential
During the current session of the school, a temporary frame
building will be used for one trade only, that of broom-mak-
II
mg^ this being all that it will accommiMiate. Other trad^
should be introduced/ but it is impracticable ^thout an in-
crease of shop room.
The immediate' executibit- 6{ all of this wdrk* is impera-
tively demandect^by the necessities of the institntioB^ but tH^
^Pru2$tees are destitute of the necessary means for the aceom-
pHshmeht of the object It i^ therefore respectfully ' urged
i2](>on the members of the Legislature that they make, at theit
next seflsion, a sufficient appropriation to supply thid impori
tant demand, in addition to that necessary fbr the cUrment
support of the Instituta Estimates for both, will be submit-
ted through the usual Visiting Committee appointed by the
Legislature, from year to year, to examine the accounts of the
TVustees, and inquire into the condition and wants of ' the
several departments of the Institute.
For a detailed statement of the receipts and disbursements
of the Institute since the date of our last report, your Ejccel-
lency is referred to the accompanying reports 6f S. W; Smitfi,
former Treasurer, and W. A. Lawrence, his succesn^or.
The statement of the former shows disbursements on orders
of the Board, amounting to |[8,161 62, and that of the lattisr
dhows disbursements amounting to |I18,549 78 — ^makihg a
^tal of 026,711 40; dedudtiug from this total, the amount of
the several sums paid by the Treasurers in discharge of loans,
with interest, and accounted fbr in detail, |I8,190 00, we have,
as( the nett expenses of th^^ Board for the year, 018,49^ 40.
Of this sum, 010,742 29 were spent for building purposes,
and the remaining 07,751 11 for current support, fiimitute,
school apparatus, and sundry other personal propetty for the
use of the Institute.
It will be perceived that the present Treasurer's receipts on
account of appropriations by the last Legislature, do not equal
in amOirtrt the sums tiamed in the act. This is to be account-
ed for by" the fact, that the Bdard have not been able to obtain
a single ddllar of said approj^otiohs from the treasury, and
12
were theieibre obliged to sell their warrants at a considerable
sacrifice jin order to progress with the building and keep up
the Institute.
This necessity was entirely unanticipated, by them^ and, as
it greatly curtailed their resources, pro ved the cause of serious
disiqppointment as to the amount o{ work upon the buildings
accomplished this season. We trust that in future we may
not be subject to like embarrassment from this sourca The
interests of the State, as well as those of the Institute, demand
that it shall be otherwise.
There ii still due the Institute an appropriation for current
support, which cannot be realized until the beginning of Feb-
ruary next, as it was to be paid from the revenue of the pre-
sent year, A portion, at least, of this appropriation must be
anticipated, by loan, in order to make it avadlable for supply-
ing the necessities of the Institute until after the nest session
of the Legislature. Here, too, we will be subject to loss, by
^ payieept of interest on loans, necessarily made for de*
fraying current expenses ;, and the same has been the case for
several years past, on account of the manner in which the
appropriations have been made. The Board would respect-
fully suggest, therefore, that future appropriations for support
of the Institute be made from mcmey already in the treasury,
rather than that to^ccrue from a. prospective revenue, as the
present piactice.subjects us to annual loss, as above stated.
In taking a retrospective view o| the history of tbis humane
institution,— tracing its career back to the time when, through
the philanthropic efforts of a few sympathizing friends, a
handful of the afflicted '^ children of i^igbt " were gathered
within the walls of a small rented tenement in our city, in
order that they, though shut put :from the beauties of the vis-
ibly world, might be brought to, see with the eyes of the spirit,
and bask in the diviner l\ght of knowledge, — we caJUl to mind
the struggles of that little b9A4; of sightless omes^in their
ipoorly equi{]^d school-rooxn^ straying tp master the rudiments
13
of kno'wledge, or trace out with ^ the quick discerning finger **
the words of holy writ, that told them of a better land, upon'
ifrhose beauties their unsealed orbs might one day gaze widi
Tspturons delight We contrast the picture with that now
presented to the visitor by our stately edifice, well furnished
and thronging with beings made happy by their newly
awakened hopes and prospects ; the contrast makes us feel
that we hare much cause for congratulating the firiends of the
blind in the complete success of our enterprise.
It is now about eight years — and they have been years of
trial and labor — since the incipient steps towards the estab-
lishment of the Wisconsin Institute for the Blind were taken.
Some of the present Board have been connected with it from
its earliest beginning, and have watched over its progress
with much anxiety during its struggles through the many
difficulties which are incident to such an undertaking. To
them the present prospects of the Institute are especially
g;ratifying, and they feel themselves amply rewarded for their
years of gratuitous labor, by the opportunity now afforded for
witnessing the good fruits of that labor.
The Trustees would not be understood, in the foregoing re-
marks, as taking to themselves an undue share of credit for
the present prosperous condition of the Institute. Justice to
#ur experienced Superintendent, Mr. W. H. Churchman, re-
quires at our hands an acknowledgment of his invaluable
services in bringing about the favorable results alluded to.
4nie Institute is indebted to him, not only for his very efficient
management of its internal affairs, but likewise for much val-
uable aid rendered to the Board in adapting the building,
with its numerous appliances, to the end in view.
Respectfully submitted, en behalf of the Board,
S. C. BURNHAM,
L. J. Babrows, Se^j/. President.

For the painting of the same, together with the glazing of
the basement and transom windows, Messrs Wormworth &

Private contracts were also made with Meissrs. Walworth,
Hubbard & Co., of Chicago, for putting up Grold's Patent Steam
Heating Apparatus, and with Messrs. Foord & Babcock, for
inserting gas pipes throughout the building.
For such parts of the work as could not be let by contract,
the best practicable arrangements were made for insuring

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Board of TYusiees:
■ I t
Gentlemen — The following summary of the operations of
the Institute, in its educational and* domestic departments,
with the accompanying remarks and suggestions, is respect-
fully submitted as the Eighth Annual Report of the Superin-
tendent:
It is not without a profound sense of gratitude to the me|^-
eiilil Dispenser of all good, for his protecting care over our
numerous household, that we find ourselyes able to jeport au
almost complete exemption from sickness on the part of both
officers and pupils, no case of protracted illness having oc-
curred during the past year. This, in view of all the circum-
stances, n^ay justly be deemed remarkable ; particularly when
we consider the known predisposition of a large proportion
of the blind, as a class, to physical ailments. The crowde4
state of our limited apartments, combined with other causes
existing in the past, rendered us peculiarly liable to indispo-
8ition« But, thanks to the enlightened liberality of the last
Legislature, most of these obstacles have been removed, and
a brighter day now dawns upon our enterprise:^
The number of pupils received during the last session was
twenty, — ten males and ten fcmiales. Of these, one was from
28
Rock county, two from Walworth, two from Milwaukee, two
from Kenosha, four from Jefferson, two from Dane, three from
Dodge, two from Fond du Lac, one from Waupaca, and one
from Columbia. A catalogue of their names, showing the
residence and other particulars of each, will be found appen-
ded hereto. Eighteen of those admitted remained until the
close of the school in July ; the other two — George Ross, from
Jefferson county, and M are^ Beandreau, from Fond du Lfac
— proving restive under the wholesome restraints thrown
around them by the necessary disciplinary regulations of the
institution, and preferring idleness to industry, returned to
their friends, after a few weeks stay with us. As they were
both possessed of good natural ability, and capable of bei^g
trained to usefulness and honorable independence, it was a
source of deep regret to us that they should thus cast from
'them the proffered benefits of the institution.
Concerning those who remained with us up to the close of
the session, we are most happy in being able to assure you
that they entertained an appreciative sense of the privileges of-
fered by the Institute, and manifested a praiseworthy anxiety
to improve them to the utmost of their ability. It need hardly
t>e added that their progress was in consequence most satis*
factory.
With the enlarged accommodations afforded by the im-
provements made upon the building during the past summer,
we will be enabled to receive more than double the number
heretofore in attendance; and much pains has been taken to
'bring this fact to the knowledge of the friends of the blind
throughout the State. We have reason to expect, therefore,
that there will be a considerable increase in our number du-
ring the next session, which will commence on the 5th inst
With a view to extend a knowledge of the Institute, and
its readiness to receive pupils from any and all parts of the
State, a circular was prepared, and handed to our city papers,
which, together with many others, gave it a gratuitous inser-
i9
tioI^, For this act of pourtesy, ojft the part of the press of the
Stti^, the thanks. of the Institute are due. ..To the same end,
it waa, deemed advisable for the undersigned to visit certain
Sections of the State in persojn ; and therefore a tour of the
coijint^es of Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee, Waukesha, Dane,
Cplumbia, Marquette, Waushara, Winnebagjo, Qutagami^
Bi;ow;n. Waupaca, Portage s^d Adams was made, in the
months of July and August . The Professor of Music and
the Matron^ together with nine of our pupils,, accompanying
me to the cities of Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha, we gave
in. ^ach place a public exhibition and concert, for the purpose
<)f showing in a practical way the scholastic attainments of
whii^b the blind are capable. These jsntert^inm^ts gave to
many of our citisjehs, who might n^ver fiud it convenient to,
visi(. thp Instiipte, an opportunity, of witnessing the fruits, of
the I Stc^te'js beneficence, and were everywhere greeted witl^
hearty manifestations of pleasure.,
Much fatui;e good might be effected through similar visite
with a f<^w pf ouj^ pupils, to other parts of 'the State; a^d s^o
f^ afl the means Qntrusted to yoiur ch^ge will justify the ez>.
penditure, the plan is earnestly, recommended, aapne of the
most e^cient agencies that can b^ employed for bnnging
within the walls of the Institute the unfortunates for whose
amelipration we are laboring, as . well as for in^urmg a con-
tiji^uance of the confidence and support of the public.
Ijtithe tour, referred to, it was presumed that much aid in
the matter of ascertaining the residences of the Blind would
be derived, from a law passed by the last Legislature, requir-
ing certain returns to be made, to the county clerk ; but the
v;ery . ip^perfect manner in whi^^h the provisions of this, act
were carried out by the parties concerned, xendered it a nul-
UtjF,&r this year at least The hope is indulged, however,
ihf£ifi6ise gtt^jition will be given it hereafter, as its design her*
cpifiL^p better under8tp.9d. ,.,.„.
Of the fidelity of the officers who are asi^ociated with me
30
t
in the conduct of the several departments of the Institate, it
affords me great pleasure to be able to bear most &yorable
testimony. They seem^ with one accord, to be actuated by
that true spirit of disinterested benevolence, which consUtates
one of the most important qualifications for a work like oms.
The mere ability to impart knowledge in the school, or to
manage affairs with system and economy in the household
department, however important in itself, forms by no means
the only or highest test of competency for the position of an
officer in such aii institutf m. There are qualifications para-
mount to this, which are necessary to all, no matter what the
department iii which they are engaged They must possess
hearts which will enable them to put away selfish considera-
tions, and devote themselves to the work with a true mission-
ary spirit In a word, they must become Yather, mother,
brother and sister, to the afflicted ones confided to their
care. It is theirs, not only to minister to the physical neces*
sities of their charge, and to store the mind with knowledge,
but likewise to labor with the will and the affections — to
throw around them such influences as will lure them from
the temptations of evil ; fortify them against those eccentrici-
ties of thought and feeling, those uncomely attitudes and
manners to which the untutored blind are so lamentably
prone ; and develop those higher traits of character which
distinguish the sterling man or woman from the aimless, lack-
energy drone whose unearned bread is filched from the larder
of honest industry. This is the only kind of training that
will set the Blind upon their feet and cause them to ^ rejoice
as a strong man to run a race."
On the first of April last, Mr. F. J. Campbell, referred to in
my last report as being chosen for the post of instructor in
music, entered upon the duties of his charge ; and judginig
from the success attending his labors thus far, will doubtless
prove a very acceptable teacher — ^he brings to his work several
years experience in a similar position.
31
Mr. C. A. Nels6n, late of {fie Indiana Institute for the edii-
cation 6^ the BUnd^ has been appointed to the charge of the'
handicraft department^ and will enter upon duty by the begin-
ning of the next session. He also has several years experience
in Ws vocation. ' • - **'
These two gentleiiien, with Miss E. M; Curtis; continued as
matron, and Miss M. E. Hand as assii^nt teacher, will form
our corps of assisting officers for the ensuing session.
In the School Department, much the same routine has
been pursued as was reported last year. The branches stud-
ied are spelling and definitions, reading, writing, arithmetic j
geography, grammar and algebra. In alll these, commendable
progress was mad^; 'but especiat 'credit Is due to the first class
in algebra, for the advancement made in that science, and to
the class of younger pupils, who entered 'school at the begin-
ning of thie session without the knowledge of a single letter,
and yet became very fair readers by fts close. The progress
male l^y &ese two classes would do credit to any school ot
persK^hs possessing all of their faculties.
During the next session, other branches will be introduced,
as the scholars are prepared for ' them. Such ias geometry,
natural philosophy, history, &o.'
The study of geography has been somewhat retarded by
the want of apparatus ; but we have ordered a globe and
complete set of maps which, when received, will greatly fa-
cilitate thb instruction in this science.
In the Music Departinent, considerable advancement has
been made^, both in the vocal anil' istrumental classes.
The entire school have attended the exercises in singing,
while nearly alt^have received more or less instruction upon
Uie ^iano forte ; and though much bt the time has necessaifljf
been devoted to th^ elements, they have nevertheless learned
to perform iii a creditable mann^ a choice variety of piano
jSFdtos, songs,^ duetts, trios,' quariettes, glees, choruss^, &C.
Appiropriate instruments for a small brass band have been
32
ordered from the East^ and we l^ppe to receive them ear^ in
the session^ so that a timely commeBcement may be made in
this very desirable part of their musical, instiuction.
Quite a number of our scholars evince such a degree of
musical talent as warrants the belief, that with proper train.-
ing^ they may become -suecessfiilteacl^rs, organists and oom-
pos^a It is our plan, Aerefore, iq give sucb^ eyery facility
for improvement, th^t can be afforded; for of all the intellec*
tual pursuit^ engaged in by the Blind, the profession of music
s\ippli^s the greater number with an available means of self
maintenance. It hardly need be added that to prepare them,
however, for successful competition with well qualified seeing
teachers in this Apartment, much time, must be spent la
st^u^y a^d practiccr^ whic|^ presupppses a corresponding out*
lay for instruction aiyl instruments. As to the matter of in-
struction, Qur resouTf ef,. are ample for the present-, but we
greatly^n^ed an oig^n apd more piano fortes, of which latter
instrument we now hf^e,p|ily two. It is eamea|^y hjQ|»e4f
therefore, that you will, s^t ^he pearliest practicable d^te, snpjdy

pensation for the absent joys of sight Consequently, the
educated h^nd musician becomes, enthfisiastic in his admira^-
tion of the science and art of music ^ Secluded ever from
the joys of vision, he seeks for consolation here. Oft, in the
pensive musings of his active mind, when lonely and retired,
he contemplates the excellence of music, and seeks the
80i:^rces of its powerful charms^ He runs through the nice
gradations and minute divisions of its scale, and fancies an
unlimited extent, in gravity and acuteness, beyond the reach
of all perception — thence he traverses the rich and devious
maze of combinations which result from harmony and all ite
complicated evolutions— th^ soft and loud, the mingling light
and shade of music — the swelling and decreasing tones,
which form the Wisd tracery and fading tints of just pn>S;
pective — all are to him, the body, color, strength and outline,,
which compose the vivid picture his imagination has created*
He ponders next upon the various sounds produced in na-
ture—ffom the soft and balmy whisper of the veral breeze to
the loii^ pealings of the deep-toned thunder, heard amid the
wailings of the fircely raging storm. Lost in the tumidt of
his strong emotion?, he ex;claiips : — ^ What is there in the wide
creation so sublime, magnificent, or bciafitiful, as sound ? ' ^'

In view of the great and obvious importance of manual
is
54
labor to a very large class of those who will look to us for
that practical education which is to fit them for' honorable in- '
dependence, it is hoped that your Board will urge upon the
next Legislature the great importance of making an appro-
priation for the erection of a suitable, permanent building for
work-shops, and providing it With the necessary fixtures, so
that ii may be occupied by anothfer year. Too much time,
for the welfore of the pupils, has already passed without the *
r *
organization o( this department
The female pupils, under the instruction of the Matron,"
have worked some thi'ee hours of each day during the past
year at plain sewing, knitting and fancy work in beads, tc
The articles fabricated were alike creditable to both instructor
and learners, and found ready sala This division of the
work department xHUof course be continued as heretofore.
The household affairs, under the immediate direction of
our efficient Matron, ha\' e been'managed very judiciously by
that officer, and she i$ liher^ore eilfitled tb the continued Con-
fidence of your Board. • . '
* While our scarcity of room,* fend consequent lack of maLny
of even the most common' appliances and conveniences of^
such an establishment, have hitherto pro^d a serious iihpedi-'
ment to our progress in all the departments, there is probably
no other that will be so greatly benefitted as die domestic, by
the occfftpancy of the* additional rooms just finished fn the
central part and east wing of our building. We nbw have
more comfortable donliitdries and sitting rooms for boA offi-
cers and pupils, as wfeU as domestics ; a laiger and more con-
venient kitehen and dining room;' a W6H afrranged laundry
and ironing room; and am^er arrM^em^Bts for warm and

CIRCULAR
Of the Wisconsin Institute for the Education qf the BUnd^
LOOATIOK AND OBJECT.
This Institution is located at Janesville, occupying a beau-
tiful and commanding site on the east bank of Rock riTer, in
the soudi-western portion of the city.
It has for its object, the moral, intellectual and physical
training of the young blind of both sexes residing in the
Stata .
It was established in the year 1850, conformably to an act
of the Legislature of the State ; jQrom vblch body it receives
its entire support, through the medium of direct appropria^
tions, made upon estimates of its wants, furnished annually
by the officers in charge.
OaOAKIZATION ANP MANAOBMXNT.
The Institute is. organized under three separata dej^art-
ments, viz: the Sch6ol, the Industrial and the Household
Department, each performing its respective office of minister-
ing to the improvement and comfort of the pupils.
The general government of the Institute is entrusted by the
L^islature to a board of trustees, who receive their appoint-
ment from the Governor, while the immediate control and
management of its several departments are confided to a gen-
eral superintendent, chosen by the Board.

blocks. This kind of writing can of course be read by the
Blind themselves*
The principles ofl ArilihmeCic add Algebra are taught eniiy,
and the problems are solved either mentally or upon a mislal
frame with moveable figtires and signs, answering as a enb-

Geography is taught by familiar lectures, iUustrated by
globes and maps, prepared for the purpose, by rendering the
rivers, boundary lines, &a, tangible.
In Geometry, embossed diagtams are used until the pqpB
acquires jsufficient'expertness to demonstiate from imagi— ly
ones.*' '
Grammar, Rhetoric, Natural History, jtc, are for the moil
'• part taught orally. Music being a branch in which blind
^ persbhs seem particularly adapted to excel, a very promineiii
place is assigned it in the aouxse of instruction. This is dme,
not only on account of the fund of iratioital and innocevt en-
joyment to be derived from it by all who are denied thepriv^

AOE OF PUPILS.
• t\* h ^• r.:£
From ten to fourteen is the most favorable age for entering
;
44
the Institute, provided the pupil have judicious care and
trainiug at hdme, prior to that age. but an this ib not allrajfs
^ tfie ^ey and as there are Many who lose their sight after flbmi
age ; or, having lost it earlier, do not find an opportuniif of
^* going to schobl at the proper time, the r^titations of the In-
^ stitute allow of the admission of all proper subjects who are
liot under eight or above twenty-one years of aga
It must'&d borne ih mind, however, by the friends of blind
children, that though they have the privilege of sending them
to the Institute at a later period than the one mentiimed as
the best, ';^et it is of the highest importance that they should
^ be sent within said period ; for, as tfiey grow older their n^-
lected powers lose their susceptibility for cultivatioB, render-
ing the training more and more difficult, until they become
^ wholly incapacitated for receiving such an education as will
fit them for a life of usefulness, independence and happinesa
It is not lin^dmmon to witness results of this kind, arising
out of the morbid tenderness with which a blind child is re-
garded by his friends^ they being unwilling to entrust him at
the proper age to the care of strangers, lest some harm should
befal hioi. ^ Indeed every year's experience but serves to indi-
cate more clearly, the lamentable prevalence lof .this an|ust
' neglect ; as there are constantly applying for admission into
die several Institutions of the country, those whose meku^
•choly 16t it is to lead a life of hopeless ignom«iee and depen-
dence^ but who might, with proper training, in early jomth^
> have become happy and useful members of soeietfv ffiaintain-
iag themsrives comfortibly and Tespectably.

During the past year this Institute has been in a prosper-

feel that they', hare 4>eeii' pecnllarljf foftaaale in secoiing one

thirty-three acres of land, well situated for the wants of ^e
Institution, affording adequate pa^turQ and water fot t)^» losti-

purchased land, a warranty deed has been made to the State,
and the sum of Five Hundred Dollars paid down on the
purchase, leaving a balance of Fifteen Hundred Dollars,
which falls dae in February next. For this amount the
Trustees have given their notes in their corporate capacity,
and would respectfully ask the Legislature to make an appro-
priation to liquidate the same.
To recapitulate the amount of appropriations asked for, for
the current year :

were slow to hear the appeals that came to them Irom ihf
voiceless mute, and from the friends who had enlisted #ieir
efforts in his behalf. The effects o{ thosQ jpioneer efforts for
mute education have not ccaaed wiith those who.miide thw^
nor have they been confined to narrow bcalitiea. 7ht cirtlee
of their influence have been widening. They haye roUed
westward with the tide of population ; and, as if rejoicing, to

Sach a public spirit we must regard as a legitimate result
of that Gospil le^veA whjch ^penja^ing.the maas of Society,
and silently elevating its depths.
' The genera^ health that has been enjoyed by the inmates,
calls for profound gratitude to God. In a family as large as
this, uninterrupted health for a year could not be looked for;
and yet, ev^n of tliose of oar number most predisposed to
disease, sickness has been rare. For a short period in the
4q»ring, and again In the fall, during the seasons of prevailing
4lidrxi64S through the surrounding country, we h ad to bear a
part of the common vnitation. While someof the pupils were
'atta^ed severely, there were but few cases whfch.dMnot
teadily yield to mefdical treatment and eate. ' W^ haTe not

' The aspect of things ithmediately around us is clieerfng.
Much has been done. Ihe main edifice stands in tasteful
AfegHiice upon a sightly elevation, attracting the eye of the

it is bright With promise for the fdture.'
'W'ear by, in the grove, stands a two-story brick building,
tasteflil in* kfchitecture, where tve hope, ere long, to hear the
€in of industry. The boys are irapatietit to be handling tools,
lAyln^ their muscles, and testing theirmechanical skill inside

** When shall we commence to work in' the shops ?'^ Such
Indutttrial promptings riierit substantial encouragement.

Hie improvefnents just mentioned, are the externa/, aspects
which wonld readily meet the eye of. the visitor, iand prompt
a tribute of eomtnendation. But they are Dy do means the
mofet cheeing portion of the picture: — ^The. mellow back-
gronhd, the delicate' shadings, the more unpretending and
wirituat parts, are what most excite the ti^acher's interest and
cheer hid heart. Intellectual, social, moral, and spiritufil^
groWtti, are the beauties for which he looks,' and hppes an4i
labors. In these repects, gratifying results are visible. The
pupils In general have made comthdndable progress in their,
fltudfes, and have been surnioiinting, day by day, many ot
liiosi^ peculiar and (Stubborn obstacles that stand in the way of
their education. Their general deportment is praiseworthy,
and has frequently called forfli 'the unqualified approbation
of those who have had favorable opportunities of xjomparing,
it with that of others.
Order, contentioent, . industry, and obedience, ar^ yirj;M0[
which have grown in their esteem, and. which now mor^ yifi*;

Of the other teaohefSj I need not repeat \rhat has been said
on preripus occasions. T^e improvoment of their respeclnre

The office of Matron was left vacant U^st summer by. the
resignation of Mrs. M. MabsAall. Properly to^ fill this diffir
cult and trying position, requires a rare combinatioA of .qiial-
ities. Miss O&pha Tatxx>b, of St. Charley, Illinois, acisepted
a tender of the place, and entered upon its duties in Avgnat,
She .has tljius far filled it very acceptably.
The w^ole number of pupits in attendance during the jrear
is fifty-seven, although at no particular time hasrtbat number
been in actual attendance.. A list of their i^ames, residences^
&G,f is appended. The present year we )iave had an acoeob*.
Bsiqn of fourteen new pupils ; and, as one a^ter another baa
come we have felt it almost impossible to find room for thena.
&o crowded has the building been, that it w^ Aot adyisable,
the past year, to make any special efforts to increase the num-
beff of applicants. The difficulty of providing accommoda-
tions for the pupils in the present buildings, has been greatly
inf^^tosed by the small proportion of gitls. Less than one-
tkihl of the pupils are females. There is no good reason for
mrf disproportion in this respect. We can conceive of no
Vfkj of accounting for it, except by tracing it to the cruel'
tblidness or ciminal indifference of parents. Their daughtetv
need education as much as theif sons ) and that ^»rent as-
sbnies a most fearful responsibUity, and acts a most mkuman

that organ. Where t|oat-ga8 can be obtained there need be
no hesitancy in deciding what kind of gas to use. Bat for
this Institution, it is a matter for investigation, whether the
Benzole light, Halsey's Patent Coal Gas Generator, or some
other, weuld best answer our purpose.
* A.n abundant supply of water is another necessity : Water
— ^warm and cold— convenient to all parts of the establish-
ment, for the various domestic purposes, and for safety in ease
of fire. The necessity of some better contrivance than com-
mon pumps aud pails to supply with water an establishment
five stories in height, and, when complete^ two hundred feet
in length, must be apparent to every one. I know of no
more available method of obtaining such a supply than by
tanks in the attics, filled from the roof, and, in case of ex
haustion, by a horse-power force-pump. This arrangement,
is in use in the Indiana Institution, and has thus far, I believe,
given satisfaction.' That great caution is needed in selecting
the methods oi accomplishing these several results we are
well aware. The apparatus that suits one edifice is ill-%dapt-
ed to another ; and the most simple and complete, will be a
source of annoyance, if erected by unskillful hands. The .
proper constihiction of modern household conveniences calls
for the vigilant exercise of the best mechanical and scientific
skill. We conceive that no mechanic who is not master of
the scientific principles of the apparatus he constructs, should
be entrusted with such work.
TSTow is the only proper time to decide upon and provide
for these important ftrrangemenfis. The introduction of any
temporary contrivances will not only call for a heavy outlay
at first, but will be attended with great inconvenience while .
in use, and great loss and additional expense at last The
adoption of cheap expedients will, we confidently believe,
prove in the end to have been short-sighted economy. Profit-
ing by the experiments and failures of older institutions^ we
may without loss, and without great delay, place this estab-.
lishment, in respect to convenience and completeness, almost
on a par with the best equipped in the land.
18
It has been estimated that the maia^difice could not be
erected and finished for less than thirty thousand dollars.
One half of this sum was appropriated by the last Legisla-
ture. The building ia under roof and will soon be enclosed,
when operations will be entirely suspended till further appro-
priation is made. The urgency of completing this work isr
so apparent that we deem it unnecessary to press the matter.
Further increase of the School with our present accommoda-
tions is impracticable. Unless the main Edifice is ready for
occupancy before next Fall, new applicants for admission
must be denied. Bnt we fear no such result. Wisconsin ia
not the State, "after having begun to build," to feel herself
"unable to finish."
As yet no appropriation has been made for paving. The
want of pavements^ even aboat a private residence, is felt to
be a great annoyance : How much greater must it^be to an
establishment of over sixty persons! The labor of keeping
the floors clean, is not unlike the fabulous toil of Sysiphus. A
tidy housekeeper would grow elQquent upon such a theme.
SevA*al division-fences are needed, to separate the garden,
yards, pasture, orchard, &c. The land lying North of the
Institution requires drainage. A small outlay for this pur-
will greatly add to its beauty, and will be repaid in pasture.
Some alterations in the interior of the wings, it will be impor-
tant to make, in order to adapt various apartments to new
purposes, after the main edifice can be occupied.
We have thus presented, somewhat in detail, the preseirt
condition, prospects and wants of the Institution, and, for
convenience of reference, furnish the following estimate of
sums needed for the year one thousand eight hundred and
fifty-eight :
Board of 75 persons, at $1,50 per week, - $4,950

Amount for Special Improvements, • 25,174
Whole Appropriation needed, - - $38,546
Although the appropriation here asked is not large when
compared with what other States have done, and are doing
in the samcNfield of humane effort, yet nothing but a sense of
their immediate importance, and a confidence in the benign
public spirit that annimates our State, would encourage us to
spread so many of our wants before the people and their Rep-
resentatives, in a season of extensive financial embarrassment.
While the pressure of the tinies calls loudly for retrenchment
in almost every way, benevolent contributions are the last
which a wise man will curtail. ^*He that watereth shall be
watered also himself."

REPORT OF BUILDING COMMIHEE
OF THE WISCONSIN INSTITUTE FOR THE Et)UCA-
HON OF THE DEAF AND DUMB.
2b the Board of. Trustees of the WisSifism InstitiUe for &t
SiticcUian of the Deaf and Dumb.
Oestlemen — ^Yoar committee would respectfally submit t»
your honorable body the following report as the result of their
labors for the past year, together with the Architect's report^
8. 0. ElElset.
Immediately after our appointment we entered upon the
duties assigned us, by engaging S. 0. EjsrBET, the former
Architect, to complete the Plans, Drai^v^gs, and Specifications
of the central building, bam and shop ; and to superintend
the erection of the same, so far as the plans and specifications
were concerned. And in order to facilitate the operations of
building and getting ready to commence early in the spring, we
immediately commenced contracting for labor and material&
And by the time the frost was out of the ground, the well was
dug, and the excavations for the basements of Main ouil^ng
and bam were commenced. Therefore, by be£:inning opera-
tions early, constant application, and perseverance, we were
enabled to complete all the mason work of the walls early
in October; giving them ample time to harden and diy
before winter set in. And at the present time we are hap^
py to be able to report the bam, shop and main building en*
closed, and secured from all damage from winter storms.
There were appropriated at the last session of the Legisla-
ture, the following sums for building purposes .

Amounting to, $18,600 00
It was fonnd quite difficult, and vfe thought it unnecessarji
to keep entirely separate the cosf of materials and labor of
each individual dej^artment ; or in other words, to apply just
the specific amount to each particular object named in the ap-
propriation. And therefore we took the aggregate, and used
it to the best advantage for the Institute, in frnthering the ad-
vancement and interest of the whole.
1. There has been built during the past season, about 980
rods of good substantial board fence, the most of which is five
boards high, capped, and cleated.
This encloses the •entire lot, ;^8 acres, by joining on the
west line the farm of Mr. John De Wolf, the half of which
line of fence will need to be built soon; also interior fences
to separate the pasture from the meadow, the barn-yard from
the garden, etc
The cost of the above fence is about . . $300 00
And will require about the same sum to com-
plete the common fencing, viz : 300 00
Amount appropriated, .... $600 00
2. The shop is built of brick on stone foundation, laid deep
and broad, below the reach of frosts
It is 24 by 4S feet on the ground, and two stories high.
When completed it ^ill accommodate quite a number of Pu-
pils, in at least two branches of mechanism, or trades.
The cost of this building, so far as completed, is
about $1,600 00
And will require, to complete, the sum of . 600 00
^mounting to the sum appropriated, viz : 2,000 00
8. Hie barii is btiilt of wood with stone basement, 24 by 88
feet, 16 fee( in hight above basement, and is about completed.
84
It will cost not quite the sam approp«4ated, viz ; $700 00
4 The cistern is beneath the basement of- the centr&l
building, walled up with stone and arched with brick, an d
will hold at least 200 barrels. It needs another coat of water
lime, before completed. It will cost $150.
The well is dug and curbed, SO feet deep, and fumisheB an
abundant supply of excellent water. The coat of thig, when
completed, will be $125 ; which, added to the oost of the oia-
tem, will exceed the appropriation for t2ie same, at; least $76.
6. The Privy, owing t*> the unusuaUy cold weather, is not
built. The brick is on hand, a part of the carpenter work is
done. The excavation is completedi the masonry is let, and
tlie wall commenced ; but it will not be completed until
spring. Thia very important edifice is to be 16 by 24 feet on
the ground, and calculated to accommodate the entire male
department, Th^ estimated cost of ths building is 300 00
The appropriation for the same is . • . 100 00
The cost will exceed the appropriation . • 200 00
But there are nearly materials enough on hand to balance
this deficiency ; viz : brick, sand, etc.
6. The main central building is enclosed and the windows
nearly ready to be put in. It is 56 by 60 feet on the ground,
five stories in hight, including the basement and attic.
We would here refer you to the accoi^panying report of
the Architect for a full description of the central building ;
and for the cost of materials and labor, for all the buildings
^d fence, to our bills and contracts, which are quite too nu-
mergus and bulky to incorporate into a repoirt
In order to secure the best materials, and at the same time
at the most economical pricea, we were obliged to negotiate
ii;)rthe lutme at various points, and at some distance from this
jjaoe ; as the following summary, will ijgidicat^ :
The common brick came from K. Se?|ton's yard, |]Ikhora*
lEhe pressed brick were purcliaaed of <}^org^ Bumham, in ^
tihe ci^ of Milwaukee.

OF THK WISCONSIN INSTITUTE FOR THE BDUOATION OF
THE DEAF AND DUMB.
To ih^ Building OommUtoe of ike Wisconsin Institute for ih0
Education of the Deaf and Dumb :
Gbmtlgmsn : — Upon taking charge of the ereotion of die
main body of your bnlldiDg the 1st of last Jane, (aside ftoxi
preparing the details and specifications,) the excavation had
been nearly completed, and a portion of the material deliToiv
ed, nnder the supervision of HI Hant, M. D., and Gen. Betts,
members of your committee. The walb were then immedi-
ately commenced ^y the contractors, Messrs. Fisk <fe Warren,
and the preparation of the wood work, nnder Mr. W. W.
Stnrtevant, as foreman. From that time till the ll&i^ng of
the stone and brick work in October last, the whole has pro-
gressed with as much rapidity as the character of the work
and^ weather would admit, aeide from two short delays in de-
livery of material, and one from defects in the iron oaps,
which required the whole to be re-cast. But after the com-
pletion of the walls, the workmen were delayed so mndi in
potting up the coniice and roof, from the inclemency of the
weather, that they were not finished until the last of last
mouth* The buildiug noy^, however^i has the exterior
walls completed, the cornice and roof on, and the fioor tim-
ber laid ; and when the window sash are glazed and fitted, as
they soon will be, will have the inside well protected from the
effects of storms.
To give the general dimensions of your building, and char-
acter of the work : It is fifty-six by sixty feet on the outside
above the wat^r table, and five stories in height, including the
89
basement and attic. It is sixty-two feet from the foundation
to the top of the walls, and the walls ebow fifty-four and a
half feet above the ground. Dividing the basement into a
kitchen on the north, and a dining room, on the south is a
brick partition extending up through the first and second
stories. The exterior walls of the basement^ foundation of
the brick partition, and the dwarf walls beneath the base-
ment floor, have been laid with stone. The main walls were
commenced at the basement floor, on footings four feet in
width, at the bottom, and thirty inches deep ; and have been
carried up twenty-eight inches thick, to the first story floor,
eleven feet above. From the ground to the water table on
the south sides, these walls have been faced with neatly bush-
hammered stone, and the window openings and comers trim,
med with rustic joints. - The cut stone are laid in fciot courses,
and neatly pointed. They were famished and cut by Messrs.
King & Wheeler, of Chicago, from the Athens quarries, Illi-
nois. They are a durable magnetian limestone, nearly pure
white, and, taken together, as laid in the wall, with the heavy
Thaler table, show six feet above the ground, and give a fine
character to the front. The north side is faced with rough-
hammered stone, laid in random-coursed wofk, with the com-
ers and the water table the same as on the south.
Above the cut stone on the south side, the walls have been
faced with Milwaukee pressed brick ; but on the north, with
good comm on weather brick. The brick walls are twenty-two
inches thick, in the first story, sixteen in the «econd, and
twelve above. They give a clear hight to each story of
twelve and a half feet to the first, fourteen to the second, elev-
en to the third, and eight to the attic. The brick partition
is sixteen inches thick in the basement, twelve in the first
story and eight in the second.
Your foundation could not well be better, if desired, being
based immediately upon a stratum of cemented loam and
*
gravjel, from one to two feet thick, resting upon a deep bed
of clean sand and gravel that outcrops immediately north of
80
jonr building, on the brow of the hill, and some distance
above the water-leyel. This will, from its porons character,
keep yonr basement and foundation comparativelj dry.
Upon consultation with yourselves, and Mr. OflScer, the
Piincipaldf the Institute, the iron columns were removed
from the chapel in the second story, and the ten shown on th
plan of the several stories, reduced to two in the basement-
* The chapel floor is supported upon .these by the partition
each side of the main hall in the first story, and the ceilings
and floors above by two framed partitions in the third story
These are thirty-flve feet in length, thirteen iii hight, and ex-
tend from the front wall to the brick partition. By this
means the chapel is left free from obstructions to the sight o
the pupils ; so necessary during their exercises. The chapel
will be a fine room, thirty-five by fifty-seven feet, and four-
teen feet high.
All the fioors have been set with heavy joists, twelve inches
deep — generally sixteen inches from center to center, and
stiffened by stout tiers of bridging, not over seven feet apartL
The principal timbers* of the roof have been framed of the
best oak that could be obtained, of such size and in such a
manner as will support a metal covering, if desired. It is
now, however, covered with shingles, laid four inches to the
weather. The cornice is of wood, having a heavy projection,
and is trimmed with heavy brackets, and has its gutter lined
with coppei;^ The juncture of all roofs with these walls, and
of this roof with the chimney shafts, have been protected
with heavy lead flashing, let into the brick. The water-
table has been pointed with lead, and the best endeavors used
throughout to render the building, when flnished, as durable
as possible.
To complete the building will require the whole inside
work to be done, including the laying of floors, setting par-
titions, lathing and plastering, putting up wainseotting and
bases, building stairs from basement to attic, making and
casing doors, trimming windows, fitting up closets, plumbing,
81
paintisg, i&c, and* the coyering of the dome, pattiDg up Iront
fiteps and area walls, and building the front porch. Estimating
by the present prices of material and labor, and including
what has been contracted for, and what is on hand, it will re-
quire not less than fifteen thousand dollars to complete it in
a si^bstantial manner, and as plain as the character of the
building as an Institution of the State, and the purposes for
which it is designed, would justify. The cj^timate embraces
a good system of ventilation, and the construction of a main
sewer, but does not include any apparatus for heating, light-
ing, or supplying water.
Bespecting these last items, provision has been made in
the walls for heating the basement, first and second stories, of
this part with hot air, but when the extent of your whole
building is considered, being one hundred and ninety-six feet
in lenotb, and from Yoor to five stories in high t, nearly the
whole of which will require warming for a part of the year,
it becomes a serious question whether it will be best, or will
even answer your purpose. That these three stortes can be
heated by that system is undoubtedly true ; imt when extend-
ed to the whole range will, at best, require from six to eight
furnaces ; taking up much valuable room in ^our basement,
and be scattered in separate roomi^ over one hundred and
eighty feet between the extremes. There would, besides be
the danger of fire, and disagreeaUe effects that usually at-
t;end their useJ For these reasons, with the best informatibn
I cati gain. I cannot recommend that system for your build-
ing, as it would leave so large a portion un warmed, except
by a disagreeable and expensive system of stoves, or a dupli-
cation of furnaces, dictated by anything but economy. For a
building like yours there are but two methods to my knowl-
edge, capable of distributing an agreeable and sufficient
warmth to all parts from one fire. These are by hot water
and steam. But to the first therp are so many disadvantages,
arising from the pressure the apparatus is required to sustain.
S3
and the nicety of adjtBBtment and management, to obtain fa-
vorable reBults, tiiat I do not think it adapted to yoar wants.
Of the other, however, it Beems to hare been brought to ftuch
a degree of perfection in Gold's patent steam heating appa-
rati», as to leave but little to be desired. The pressure »
confined to from one to two ponnds to the inch, tbe hea1»to
213 degrees, doing away with the dangel- of fire where the
pipes come in contact with wood, and its action being simple
requires bat little care and attention comparatively, in its
management. Besides, its automatic attachments regelate its
own supply of water, and the bumisg of the fire after the
fael is in, causing it to give out from its radiators a mild,
equitable, and agreeable warmth to the most remote parts of
the building ; free from dirt, dust, or gas. Wherever it haa^
t'» my knowledge, received a fair trial, it has met with un-
qualified approbation*
Should it be adopted, the boiler furnace can be placed be-
neath what will be the west lateral wing, or in a separate
building in the rear of the main one. The latter would prob-
ably be the best I think an apparatus sufficiently large for
your, whole building, with pipes and radiators for the parts at
present up, can be put in for five thousand dollars, and tlie ex-
cavation and extra walls for the furnace can be done for five
hundred more.
The lighting and supplying your building with water, are
subjects scarcely less important than the last, and demand
your early attention. Kot only the danger and inconvenience,
but cost of candles, oil, fluid and campheae, for a building of
that size, and number <^ inmates, call for some other means
of lighting. But without specifying at this time any particu-
lar apparatus for that pupose, I would tuggest that in rbw of
the improvements yearly made in manufacturing gas for soli-
tary buildingB, and the ultimate adoption of s<mie plaa tor
that purpose, that the necessary pipes be laid for its distriba-
tion, as it can be done so much more satisfactorily, and ak leas
cost now than when the work is finished. For the distriution
88
of water, two tanks can be placed in the attic, resting on the
brick partition, withont inconvenience, and be nsnally supplied
from the roo£^ Should that source fail at any time, a simple
force pump, driven by horse power, can be used at little ex*
pense. From these tanks water citn be rettdily conducted fto
all parts of your building, and heated wherever requiredf
with a simple apparatus, by your steam. I would recommend
its adoption, and the putting in of the necessary pipes. These
last two items would require an expenditure of one thousand
dollars beyond the general estimate for finishing.
Your building, .as Hie State increases in population, will
soon become the home of nearly or quite three hundred peiv
sons ; where diey are bot only to live, board and lodge, but
attend school ; and will require for convenience, economy of
labor, and healUi, a large amount of appUanoes, a family of
a few persons can but imperfectly experience the need of, and
you will, therefore, by an early attention to these and kindred
prospective wants, be able, at a eomparathrely small present
cost, to teve largely on the ultimate ezpenee of the whole
building, besides securing a degree of convenience to be no
otherwise obtained.

and to heat, supply it with water, and prepare for Mghtini^

J. C» Howells, Military Secretary, Madison.
Adjutant General's Office, )
Madison, Wis., Dec. 30tb, 1857. )
To THE Governor —
I have the lionor to submit my Annual Eeport :
The aggregate number of the militia of this State, as shown
by the annexed table, cdmpiled from the returns received
from the several Eegimeuts, is 95,806, exhibiting an increase
of 60,781 since last year.
The cause of this very large increase is to be foundin the
fact that for the first time we have obtained returns nearly
complete from all the counties of the State — the counties of
Trempealeau an4 LaPoint being the only ones which hare
failed in their returndi, while, lor the year 1k56, not one half
of the counties returned their numbers.
The system which I have adopted will, I think, prevent all
difficulty hereafter in obtaining the necessary reports from
the several towns and counties of the actual number of the
militia of this State; and next year, this office will, I hope,
be able to give a full return of every man in the State capa-
ble of bearing arms, and subject to military duty.
Until this completeness of returns is reached, this State
will be unable to obtain from the General Government the
full quota of arms to which it is entitled. The value of the
arms which we may expect to receive during the present year
and with what we have on hand will propably be about $*25,-
000, end I would respectfully suggest that measures t^e taken
to erect or procure a suitable building, wherein the arms and
ammunition belonging to the State can be safely stored until
they are distributed.
There are about twenty uniformed companies in the State,
but not one of them -has made a report to this office for the
past year, and I am therefore unable to report the number,
kind, or condition of the arms and ordnance heretofore dis-
tributed to them. It is to be hoped that such neglect of duty
will not occur in future.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
AMASA COBB,
Adjutant General.'

Sib : — ^In oomplianoe with the requirements of law, the Exee-
utiye Committee of tUe State Agricultural Society would i^pect-
ftiily !REPO»r,-^That' duriiig ine past year of 1857, the' State
• Agricultural Society has, through its proper channels of action,
been pursuing its.accustomed course, and discharging tothe best
of its ability and means, its vanous duties and responsibilities.
As hitbeko, the field of useful ' labor that has seemed to pre-
sent itself for the consideration and action of the Society, has
been in no degree diminished ; but, from year to year, seems to
widen and deepen in its demands. In view of these facts, the
' Society has aimed to do more than merely to provide for and
' hold an Annual Fair. Ample pains have beedt taken, through
agricultural Journals and otherwise, to arousd and devate the
^bition and spirit of all dasses, to adopt more fiystem and care
in what they do, to cultivate better, to be more careful in the
selection of seed ; and for the purpose of aiding in tiiis highly
important work on the part <^ the Society, seeds and cuttings^
particularly the former, have been purchased and distribated to
a large extent, and generally of very choice descriptions ; oil in
all, ' probably hot lesb ihan twenty thousand packages, during
iSki p^t fMe. Th&t some; of 'th^m huve fallen upon go<$d
ground^ and will spring np and bear an hundred fold of higUj
improved and useful products, the Society already has abundant
assurance. The leading article of distribution — tiie Chinese
Sugar Cane«-was distributed from our rooms to the extent of
nearly ten thousand packages, into eyery part of the State.
We learn that it has been veiy generally planted, and in the great
majority of cases, g?6wb to thjb entire satisfaction of the cultiya-
tors, except in the matter of ripening its seed, in which it has
generally failed, although obviously and wholly owing to the
extraordinary backwardness of the season. Some few experi-
mentalists have demonstrated, however, that the seed might have
been ripened generally, even the past season, by simjdy planting
that portion intended for seed more open to the sun, and sucker-
ing it out to but few stalks in a hill. Several who pursued this
course inform us that they fully ripened their seed. But the
rich saccharine properties of the cane have been fully demonstra*
. ted lo every one who has grown a hill of it the past season. The
fact of its- having b^a so widely distributed and advertised in
this manner, to every neighborhood, will undoubtedly lead to
its being extensively and profitably cultivated the present season.
.In £RCt,. we doubt not but that the extra impetus given to this
subject alone, tbr6ugh the aid of this Society, will eventuate in
. more advantage to the State than the Society has ever yet been
• expense to it, since its organization.
Not wishipg to confine its labors wholly to the more masculine
and substantial interest^, to the neglect of the more refining and
t^stefoli tJti^ Society has, among other things, distributed some
thousands of packt^es ol flower seeds^ mainly of new and choice
yarietiiea;. liiat they have proved a profitable and (^h^p embel-
. lishmentto many a wayside cottage and happy hom6| can hardly
. b^doijibted. . ' - /

prove important as our State gets older.

Prompted by a desire to improve still fiirtBer, if possible, in
the cultivation of our great staple, wheats by the introduction of
the best possible kinds of seed, the Society despatched aa expe-
rienced and sagacious practical farmer, (Hon. David WilliamS|
ctf Walworth county), to Canada, during their wheat harvest,
with instrnctions to examine their different kinds and qualities
of wheat, grown upon their various soils and under various dr*
cumstances ; and to report his views upon the advisability of its
introduction, as seed, among our fanners. The gentleman per^
formed his mission in a highly satisfactory manner, and duly
reported its results, which have been spread before the people,
and will undoubtedly lead to the obtainment of new and valuable
seed.
Early and ample pains were taken, on the part of the Society,
for the holding of its Annlial Fair ; and in view of the extensive
hotel acoommodationSy convenient fair grounds, railroad approach- ^
es, and promising public spirit of the citizens of Janesville, thai
place was settled upon for the purpose. In anticipation of a
large turn out, not only among our own people, but also from
the neighboring State of Illinois, (unto whom we wished to
make a creditable show), very ample, and somewhat expensivCi
pi^parations were made for the occasion ; providing not only for
the show of the more substantial features of agricultural produc-
tion, but also for the more attractive novelties sometimes employ-
ed to embellish such occasions
As was anticipated, the occasion and the outlay met witH a
fair and full response on the part of the people, both exhibitors
and spectators. The entries were considerably larger than at
any previous fair, and embraced many animals, articles, and pro-
ducts that are not surpassed in quality in the United States.'
Every department of the f&i/. Animal, Agricultural, Horticul-
tural, Floral, Mechanical and Miscellaneous, was well filled, and|
altogether^ displayed a striking evidence of the progress of our
young State. How much of this progress and improvement is
'attributable to the teachings and effects of the State and county
£drs, we will leave for the observing and philosophic to deter-
mine.
^.
Owing to thQ occurrenoe of a severe autoibual storm dming
tbe last two, and principal days of the fair, the scttendaiice of th^
people, as well as the reoeiplts, were yei7 mJEiterlally diminished;
and but for the State appropriation to fall back npon, the Sod-
etj, notwithstanding all the capeful fbresight in ics power, would
have been, in con^uence of the aforesaid misadventure, fiff
b^nd, pecuniarily, and obliged to h&ve left BCfxea of HtS^ bSb
/ unpaid, until time and good luck aSbided them the means. All
m aJlf the fair was a decided success over any of its predeoesson,
notwithstanding the uncongenial weather ; and notwitibitauding
a very illiberal and unaccommodating spirit manifested by one
q£ the principal railroads of the State^ to wit: the La Crosse and
Milwaukee. Their utter refusal to carry stock and articles fiir
exhibition, short of fuU fore price^ and general disposition 0 he
^tnobliging, so disgusted the great aortheastem and central
counties, that they were scarcely represented at the &ir. It
is the sincere hope of your humble servants, that this pampered
and spoiled child of misplaced State liberality, will, when its
corruption fund emmisaries come around the capital the present
winter, asking for new favora, be met with the same spirit with
"which they met the poor farmers who have mortgaged their farma
to build, not only their their road, but flue palacesy also, for the
gentlemen who have (mis) managed it^ Of all companies in the
State, they were the last who should thus have given the cold
shoulder to the formers of the State.
But notwithstanding the foregoing drawbacks, the society has
been able to close up its pecuniary affairs for the past year in a
creditable and satii^ctory manner to all concerned, and with a
small balance in the treasury, as will be seen by reference to the
financial report of the Secretary, at the close of this conmiunica'
tion . With a full belief, on their part> that the Society is now placed
upon a firm foundation, and more fully grounded in the hearts
and approving good will of the masses of the people, than ever
before. The undersigned would commend its various interesi
to your kind care and consideration ; and they do so with a full
faith that the cause of agriculture, nor agricultural association^
will not be likely to retrograde during your administration.
Sut, with ufl^ iijre|feel{ iaaaared that your will duly i^pprdciata tLdr
fact that the great principle aud purpose ODderlTing all theflo^
associations, public displajii^ and premiaia lisla,i8 toproy^ta
labor that of its own production, there is abundant material to.
please die ^ncj and stisfy ambition ; and by biingiog diem^
together, combined and arranged, to a%>xd,a noble opportimitj^
for study to the student,. and ^ aplendid and profitable holiday, tor
the idle. For thia reason iihe Socii^ty seekB to please all, ,for. it ia
prqfitable for all to come. No person can leave an agiiculturat
exhibition as ignorant as he came. Its annual showft give to
all an opportunity to ; study the lesson qf iabor|. which, perhsj^
but one has properly illustrated.
To inaugecate annually a great industrial gathering, where the
Icnowledge of one may be spread over the minds^of many— 4iu
gathering where eaol^ may not only prove to himself his own,i
'' but mark his neighbors faults and: follilesi'^ — ^where the incrus^
ation of old habits may be broke^ up and fallowed fpr new
ideas, proving; to each that the end of knowledge is not* y^et
reached, nor the opportunity of learning lost — an annual gaihr
ering where the industry and skill of the State may meet and
iiecite to all theyeaxs before, and the success or £ulure of its efforts,
to solve that portion of the great industrial ppoblon embraced
within the field c^ its labor. In theory each and all these. sevQ^
ral steps of progress might be considered bb so many evidencev
of oni. progress in the primal art of arts. But practically, it i!^
not true, for the reasbn that most of these eviden^ces of success^
tffQ the results of an accidental combination of circumstance^--*
th^ isy mx)st of the evidences are not the result of the .practical
application of known and well established principles of agricAtt
tural science, but too often the accidental result of a tboughtleas
combination of forces, thrown together without design, thus bx
effect, teaching nothing conclusively ; consequently a repetition
almost imrariably proves a failure. Improvements in agrioul-
ture are no doubt being, made ; but tihe laws of nature, upon
which all successes are based, are most of them too dimly seen
too conduct to a successful repetion. Consequently we are, as
agriculturists, qonstantly falling back fiom each seeming advance^
ment, not, peiliaps, completely, but partially, at every step, lor
ihe reaaon that we have but slight foot-hold upon those laws of
nature upon which success depends. Yet all these succes-
ses and failures, as shown in the annual exhibitions of the
Society, tend to teach them; but in such a qualified, ques-
tionable, and fragmentary manner, that by far the greater part
is useless. Had the Sodely a Farm School, where the philoso-
phy of practice and the science of schools might mingle and
perfect each other — ^where ail that is prored in practical labor,
and all that is true in scholastic science,* could be blended in one
concrete mass, affording a substantial foundation fpr the more
elevated up-building of the industrial labor of the State— a &nn
school within whose ample fields and halls the State Society
might hold its annual Fairs, thus giving to each laborer an oppor-
tunity to prove or disprove the correctness of his theory or prac-
tice— ^where the practical labor of the State could compare the
results of its toil with the more pretentious ones of the school —
a point where each isolated fact could be concencrated, combined
with others and made practical — ^where the progress of labor
could be noted, the principles upon which it depends developed,
and thus substantial advancement secured, and thus the school
be as the Mistress of Labor and the Master of Science. The
need of labor is too great to be profitably mocked with here a
bone and there a crust — ^its wants too great to be satisfied with such
fostering care as may be found in a teanio of some overshadow-
ing edifice. The winds and tides no longer command commerce^
because commerce concentrates capital^ and a half million experi-
ment is readily made, and commerce is finally eminently succesr-
ful. But agriculture diffuses wealth, while affording to all other
pursuits the means of concentration ; thus labor not unfrequently
appears as a petitioner for a moity of that which its own munifi-
cence has bestowed.
The greatest wealth of the State consists, first^ in the moral
and political purity, and the intellectual culture of its inhabit-
ants. Secondly, in the productive character of its industrial
pursuit^ and the fertility of its soil. Comparatively productive
as our agricultural labor no doubt is/ yei^ in most cases, it is so
9 ,
at the expense of the means of subsistence of the next or buo-
ceeding generations. Thus by our general want of thorough
and sufficient agricultural knowledge, we are rapidly squander-^
ing the original munificent gift of the Great Benefactor. His^
knowledge has much of it to be created, and more to be oonoen-
trated and made effectiye.
The fostering care of State and National governments hare
made munificent provisions for general education ; yet for the
education which this State's great agricultural interest require, no
provisions are made. For these reasons we respectfully askyour
Excellency to reccommend the Legislature to make suitable pro-
visions for the founding of an Agricultural Ciollege, in couneo^
tion with an ample Experimental Farm, and their endowment
with sufficient means to secure their eflfective and practical ope;*
ration, either by a grant of a portion of the swamp lands belong-
ing to the State, or by memorial to Congress for a special grant
of lands for that purpose.
The present time seems peculiarly appropriate for such a move-
ment, especially for memorializing Congress, inasmucL as it will
be in harmony with the action of many other of the Agricultu-
ral States, who are now urging similar claims upon their
attention. An additional voice from the Great Northioesi vnYL
deepen the tone and strengthen the effiDrt, and undoubtedly even-
tuate in ultimate success..
And what is more reasonable or proper than that at least a
little fraction of the wide and almost unlimited public domain of
this and other States, should be assigned and devoted to a more
thorough and systematic development of the great . scientifio
principles and practical action on which every thing like eminent
agricultural success must rest. The liberal donation to Bailroad
Companies, (which are but the servants and carriers of the tillers
of l^e soil), would seem to indicate at least the equal pro-
priety of making every needful provision for the fullest devel-
opment of this great primary interest, on which not only Kail-
roads, but Governments, and all subordinate interests essen-
tially, constantly, and forever depend.
Without this Agricultural College and Experimental Farm,
1 r
>
five years will not elapse before some of our sons, wko would be
first in their great calling, will be crossing over to Michigan to
her already promising institution, to avail themselves of thai
knowledge, which, for want of a proper foresight and enterprize^
has not been secured and provided for them at home. Let us
not, from our supineness now at the proper time, be thus depend-
ent then.
The law: of the last session of the Legislature, passed in oon-
formitj with a request in our last annual report, for the eoUeo*
tion, on the part of the several town Assessors, of Agricultural
and Mineral statiistics, seems to have been but partially com-
plied with, and consequently the report of the Secretary of Stat^
on that subject is necessarily incomplete and somewhat imperfecti
Still, what there is of it is highly valuable, and shows conclu-
sively how valuable a perfect work of the kind would be ; show-
ing at once, and annually, the exact agricultural, mineral, and
business condition and production of each county in the State .
It is almost as valuable information to the observant and intel-
»
ligent citizen, as are the merchant V account books to him, in the
\f ay of explaining and teliing him how his matters'stand.
The law is of indispensable value, and with some slight
amendments, which will be duly and seasonably presented by
its friends, mil undoubtedly remain a fixed, feature upon our
statute books.
As in our last year's report, we again call attention to the
policy and necessity of some law for the protection and encour*
agement of sheep husbandry and wool growing, which would
necessadly involve a law for the restricting and thinning out
of dogs, which, (as is natural in new coimtries), have become a
great 'nuisance and drawback upon our annual incomes and
aggregate receipts &om this important and natural source of
prosperity. It is confidently believed that some judicious law
might be enacted that would, in due time, abate the evil without
much growling^ and eventuate in substituting numerous fiocks of
fine wooled sheep, with their yearly golden fleeces and tat, savory
mutton, in place of our present barking cur dog population. Such
an exchange is, in the opinion of the undersigned, devoutly to
be wished and earnestly prayed for.
Hoping tlxat your Exoellenoy will bave the Idudoeas to sAbmit
such of our suggestions to the L^gidatioe m may, in your jitdg^
ment, be deen^d proper^
We remain, very truly,
Your obedient servantii* ,
In behalf 0/ the Execative CommiUee, {d'^yh) WILLIAMS. ^

In compliance with the la^ providing a State Hospital fbr
the Infiane, for the State of Wisconilin,* approved March 6th
A. D. 1867, the nndersigned OoramiBSioners appointed in ac-
cordance with, and to carrj into eflbct the provision of said
Act respectfblly snbmit their fil^t Annnal Beport.
Upon receiving our appointment,a8 Commissioners, we met
in the citjr of Madison on the 6th daiy of May, 1867, and or-
ganized onr Board by electing L. J; Parwel!, President, John
P. McGregor, Secretary, and Levi Sterling, Building Superin-
tendent, and employed S. V. Shipman as Architect In de-
termining the location of this Instihition, yonr commissioners,
after a careftil examination of the snbject, were nnanimoxis in
the opinion that the land formerly piirchased of L. J. Farwell
for this purpose, combined the necessary advantages for the
site, and was in point of economy, healthfulness, and many
other natural advantages, as^ judicious a selection for the best
interest of the State, as could be made. The exact location
of the building on the lot has been a subject of thought
and enquiry on the part of the commiBSibners, and notwith-
standing a portion of the excavation has been made, find a
large amount of material deposited oli a former contract at
the old site, they have deemed it necessary for the perfect
*
drainage and the better ^orkin^: of the Institution in many
other respects, as well as for the greatly augmented beautj of
scenery, which should never be lost sight of in providing for
the treatment of this peculiarly afflicted class of citizens, to
place the building on higher ground, at a distance of about
twenty rods further from the Lake.
*' The present site is fifty -four feet above the surface of the
Lake to the bottom of tbe celftin '
After carefully examining the plans in the possession of
the State and of nearly all the principal Hospitals of modem
ooDfltruction ia this country, the Board have adopted, after
submitting the same to meti eminent in the profession as
superintendents and assistants of simikr Listitutions, the plans
made by Mr. 8. V. Shipman, Architect, which are a modifica-
tion of origlr^al plans by the eminent Dr. Elirkbride, to
whom the people of this country owe a lasting debt of grati*
tude for almost a life time spent , in the service of this unfor-
tunate class of our fello.w beings, and in devising the moat
effectual means for their recovery. The commissioners take
occasion to say here, th^t they are largely indebted to Dr.
J. . Edwards Lee, fimnerly assistant Physician in the ITtica
Lisane Asylum of H. Y., and afterwards, for several years,
acting in the samecapaciliy ia the Pennsylvania State Hoepi-
tal for the Insane at Philadelphia, for many valuable anges.
tions and much important information in relation to the con-
struction and managemait of Institutions of this kind. Dr.
Lee is n^w a resident of our State at Sextonville, Richland
Co., and the Board have great satisfaction in speaking of his
uniform gentlemanly deportment, and the thorough knowl-
edge he possesses in his profession in the treatment of the
unfortunate Insane.
After the adoption of the plans, specifications and detail
drawings necessary to a thorough and complete understand-
ingof the work to be put under contract,and after filing the same
in the office of the Secretary of State, notice was published in
one or more papers in each and every city in the State, that
Proposals would be received by the Board until the first day
of September A. D. 1857^ at the o^ce of Secretary of State,
for doing all the work, and forDiahing all the materials for
said buildiDg in aocordance with the plaxm and specifioatioca*
On the first daj of Septen^ber, above named, th9 Boarcl
met at their office, and proceeded, publicly to open all the
proposals received and filed in the ofice of Secretary of
State, and after haying openly declared the same and. r^ord-
ed ^ch bid in a book provided for that purpose and filed the
original in the office of Secretary of Stale, awarded the work
to, and entered into contract with Nelson McNeil of Portage
City, for building the central or main building, one longitu(]U-
nal and one traverse wing for the sum of seventy three thoi||-
»nd five hundred dollars. (^V^,6o0.)
The work of excavating the cellar and foundation was com-
menced on the 22d day of September inst., and has been
pushed forward with commendable diligence, and no doubt
will soon be finished. A small amount of material has been
delivered on the ground, and it is the intention of the contract-
or to commence the mason work during tiie present week,
and to employ sufficient force to raise the cellar stor^ walls
and get the first floor limbers in place before winter com-
mences. *
The following is a list of payments made up to the close of
the fiscalyear :
To S. Y. Shipnaan, Architect, - - - $419 86
That portion of the building now under contract will con*
taiu the cooking arrangement, the chapel, and afford accom-
modations for the officers andi att^idants necessary for the
institution when the whole is complete. There are three full
wards capable of accommodating twenty patiwts each, and
three partial wards to be full wards (^^hen the building shall
le extended) that naay be used to accommodate from five to'
seven patients each, other rooms may be fitted up in the main
building for the more quiet class of patients.
The classification of patients will of course be yerj imper-
fect, as there will not be as many wards, as it is probable
there will be classes of patients.
6
The Board bad hop^d to be able to put tmder contract the
main building and one lon^tndinal and one' traverse wing on
each side, and have it come within the limit of one hundred
thousand dollars. This would have accommodated 125 to
ISO patients, an equal number of each set, and it was believed
by the Board, this would meet the wants of the State for some
years to come. The lowest bid for the whole of that portion
above named was $9S,900, without the heating and cooking
apparatus or plumbing. The lowest bid for the contract build-
ing and the wings on one side was $73,500, wMch does not
include the heating and cooking api)aratus.
This will accommodate some 75 padente of one set, but less
in case temporary arrangements are made to accommodate
both sexes.
Altbongh the board believed that it would be for the best
interest of the State, to put up at once the whole structure ac-
cording to the plans adopted by us, we were forced
to the conclusion, that the law under which we act, required
the entire completion and perfection in all particulars, of so
much as was undertaken and we were therefore compelled,
against our own convictions of what was for the interest of the
State, to enter into contract for a part only.
We would at this time say that while the present deraDge-
ment in the financial worM presents much to discourage the
undertiaking of any improvement requiring a large outlay of
money, we can but urge the Legislature to consider the de-
mands of the unfortunate in ouf State and provide at an early
day for the wings on the west side of fche main building, corres-
ponding with those on the east side now under contract. , To
have finished it under one contract would have cost the ad-
ditional sum of $^o,000, but to contract for these two wings
separately will probably cost the State a larger amount, say
$30,000. With that additional expenditure, the Institution
would accommodate twice the number of patients.
Frequent enquiries am made by persons from different
parts of the State, when the building will be in readiness for
the .reception of patients, and from the number of such en-
quiries, we can but beliere that the Hospital will be filled to
its utmost capacity in a short time after it is open for the re-
ception of patients.
The engine house, bakery, laundry, together with the heat-
ing and cooking apparatus, and the plumbing work, has not
been put under contract, but will be early enough to have
the same finished by the time the building is completed, which
Is to be by the first day of September, 1859.
Begarding ourselves as the agents of the State in the man-
agement of this great trust, intended for the benefit of every
class of citizens, and every part of the State, we are fally sen-
sible of the responsibility, to see that there is a wise expendi-
ture of the means placed at our disposal, and at the same
time have felt called upon to see that the building in all its
parts was perfect and suitable for the purposes for which it is
intended.
The system of Ventilation adopted is that of i^brced Venti'
JaUany which experience has proved to be the most certain
and reliable in an Institution of this kind.
It is believed| by the Board, that when completed the Build-
ing will be second to none in the Oountry, in point of efficien-
cy and economy.
The construction of the engine house, laundry, wells, sew-
ers, and the apparatus for cooking, heating, plumbing, lighting
and putting the building, now under contract, in running or-
der will cost about $28,600, and we confidentiy hope to have
the whole completed and ready for occupancy within the
time named in the contract

DOCUMENT "O.
ToHisExCBLLENcrr, Coles Bashfoed, Governob of the State.
Sir : — ^I herein transmit to you a report of the proceedings
of the Board of Eegents of Normal Schools, in accordance
with section eight of an "Act for the enconragenient of
Academies and Normal Schools.
With sincere regard,
I have the honor to be,
Tour obedient Servant,
D. T. KILGORE.
Secretary of the Board.
Madison, Sept 6th, T857.
INTRODUCTION.
At the last session of the Legislature a law was passed, ap-
propriating twenty-five per cent, of the income from the sale
of the swamp lands of Wisconsin, for the purpose of aiding
snch Colleges and Academies as might comply with certain
regulations.
The design of the law was two fold — Ist. To aid Institui
tions of learning, which have labored eflSciently in the cause
of education in this new State, although they have hitherto
been entirely dependent upon private enterprise. 2d. To
give what encouragement they could in such a manner as
would enable such Institutions to render an equivalent for the
funds received, by preparing persons for teaching in our pub-
lic schools.
The Board of Regents, appointed Dy the Governor, to carry
out the provisions of this law was organized on the 16th day
of July, 1867.
On the following pages will be found the' transactions of this
body at their first meeting, and also the law under which the
Board was organized. They are commended to the notice
and critical examination of educators in our State. We ask
that any suggestionjby way of improving either the law or
the regulations, will be freely communicated to the President
or Secretary, For these things are tlic beginning of an
enterprise, which,'if rightly managed, will eventuate in the
promotion of general education, in our growing State.
6
There is, it mnBt be confessed, a preasing need of thorongfa-
1 J trained teachers, to preside over the manj schools that ars
springing into being, as if by magic, in every partof this com*
monwealth.
In these schools are our children, and ihert all of them will
receive the rudiments of their education, and the great ma-
jority of them will there complete their course, except as it
may be prolonged in the business eugagements of life. With
reference to all our J^Outh^ them, tke.c(>nm]on schools sustain
an important relation which cannot be too highly estimated.
Nor can too much be done 16 place in these schools persons
well qualified for their high calling.
Our legislators displayed their wisdom, in tlie liberal pro-
visions of this act, and coming generations will owe them a
debt of gratitude.
It 'is the design of this Board to carry out and make efficient
their proyisions ; and the kind co-operation of all who desire
tLe successful advancement of so noble an enterprise, is eam*
estly desired.
Blank forms of reports will be forwarded to those Institu-
tions that give timely notice to the Secretary of this Boar d
of their intention to comply with the law.

act, appc^ion to said Normal School a sum not esoeeding
three thousand dollars perannum for the support of said School
And that as soon as the Board shall haye made choice of a lo-
cation, a portion of the Normal School Fund shall be appro '
priated for that purpose.
Should any towns, yillages or cities make an offer of such
Institute, in accordance with the proyisions of said Act, your

REPORT.
To His ExCELLENOT CoLES BasHFORD,
Qovemor of Wiaomsm:
1 herewith submit a Beport upon the Geological Sarveyof
;Wi8ConsiDy made in accordance with an act providing for the
Geological Sturvey of the State, passed March 8d, 1857.
Since assuming the duties of mj department of the Snrvejy
I have labored diligently to promote its objects, and with
such trifling exceptions as were caused by tlie fulfilment of
duties and responsibilities previously assumed, I have devoted
my whole time to the work. The entire results of the sea-
son cannot of course be giv^ in a matured form at
this early period as much of it is connected with the work of
subsequent seasons, and the precise value of other portions
can only be ascertained by studies which cannot be carried
on in the field.
I shall therefore attempt only a report of progresa and ap-
pend such matter as I have thought important to be published,
from its bearings upon the undeveloped resources of the State.
In undertaking a work, which according to my contract
with the State, was to continue during a series of years, it
seemed proper first, to ascertain precisely what had already
been done in perfecting our Geology. I therefore devoted
some little time to collecting whatever materials might be in
existence which would be of value in this effort. These nia*
teriaU were scattered through the Kcports of the IT. S. Geol*
ogist, in unpublished notes of lines to Kailroad surveys,^ and
in the annual Beportsof other State Geologists, for (Jie years
1854-*55 and ^56.
I had also considerable material of mj own gathered from
time to time incidentally in mj travels oyer the state. These
scattered materials I endeavored to arrange and compDe so
as to indicate the stage of advancement already attained to-
wards nndeiBtanding the Geology of Wisconsin.
Thus what had been done, and what still remained to do,
conld be seen at a glance, and a chart was fnmished from
which valuable hints conld constantly be drawn by the ex-
plorer.
Snch a review of the ground was a prerequisite to the eco-
nomical conduct of the survey as it would save the r^ctition
of studies already faithfully performed and point out at
once the unexplored fields of investigation which remained.
In prosecuting ray work, as well as in its organization, I
have endeavored to keep in view the circumstances under
which this survey has been initiated.
It is in a now state wlioso population is sparse, whose ter-
ritory is of vast extent and much of it in a state of nature
and whose resources are ^ct to be found out and developed
The condition of its treasury admits of no large expenditure
for objects which are not of inr mediate necessity or followed
by a prompt return in kind. It M'ould be obviously impossi-
ble under any appropriation that the State could afford to
make to visit every section of land within its limits, examine
minutely its soil, its roclis, and every circumstance wLich
might be of interest to the geolglst. Such a survey could
only be wisely undertalcen by a rich and densely populated
country.
We have an example of this kind in the very thorough and
minute geological survey of Groat Britain, which is still in
progress, and is a splendid model of its kind, both in the
perfection of its organization and the masterly ability with
which it is being prosecuted.
Yet it would be absurd for us to attempt an imitation of
that noble survey in detail. Our entire appropriation would
8CftrcelysQstaia tho work over a single Cov^oship) aad tUo pre-
sent generation would pass a way, while half the state still re*
mained unexplored.
In a new and unsettled state, witih aa extensive territory,
a widely diflferent policy must govern.
The geologist should aim : 1st. To grasp and present clearly
the great geological features of his district, and the promi-
nent pljysical resources which it contains.
2d. To study minutely those points only which promise the
richest economical and scientific lesults, and to study these as
a general rule in the order of their relative importance, so
far as this can be known by a cursory survey.
3d. To present the knowledge thus obtained in such form
as to bo intelligible to every citizen of the state or to those
abroad who may be interested in its geology, or tho devel-
opement of its resonrces.
While this plan of action may be less satisfactory to tlie
Geologist and less favorable Yo his reputation than researches
prosecuted more regularly and minutely, it seems to me the
only one at all compalible with the idea of bringing rapidly
into notice the resources of a new State, and furnishing to its
inhabitants, who are now living, a general^ chart of its geol-
ogy.
My work during the past season has been prosecuted in the.
light of the ideas just expressed, and has been mainly of a
general nature. I have made a series of accurately measured
sections across the State in such directions as seemed to ex- .
hibit most clearly its general Geology.

These ecctions generally run across the dip of the strata and
exhibit the outcrops and relations of the various rocks expo^
along the lines which they traverse. They are generally
made on lines of survejed Bailroads, or along the valleys of
the principal streams, as it was only by following these tliat
we could get any reliable standard of reference for heights
and distances. These standards are of great value with us as
we have no topographical survey in conjunction with our geo-
logical survey, and when reliefs are so uniform as ours, very
little can be done with the barometer without bestowing more
attention upon it than we could well afford.
As soon as these sections can be properly executed onpaper
they will be safely deposited and kept, so that in case of acci-
dent they will not be lost to the State. The failure of some
Geologists to put their work into such shape as to be under-

I have collected and forv^arded to Madison over 2,000 spec-

The great importance of the Iron interest of our State has

No metallic ores are so abundantly distributed as those of
iron. They enter more or less largely into all the great min-
eral masses of our globe, so that it would be scarcely possible
to find a fragment of rock or a handful ^f soil entirely desti-
tute of iron in scnne one of its varied forms. In our own
State these ores are unusually abundant. They occur in con-
nection with rocks of various geological age from -the primary
slates to the lower members of the upper silurian formation.
They are found generally in one of the following modes of
occurrence :
1st. In place as beds or veins in the rocks where they were
originally formed or introduced.
2d. Deposited from aqueous solutions in low ground, as
bog ore or ochre.
8d. Scattered over the surface or mingled with the soil and
superficial deposits in firagments or minute particles.
The valuable.depositB of ore belong mainly to the first and
second class. Instances of the last are however much more
common, and though worthless, often excite large expecta*
tions. They are especially abundant in the sandy regions of
the State, where fragments of ore are found on every hillside,
and the soil is everywhere stained with iron. The coloring
matter of the sandstone itself is generally derived from ores
of this metal disseminated through it, whose decomposition
10
originateB the chalybeate spriogs which ao frequently
in the valleys along its outcrop.
Fragments of magnetic, specular and micaeeofos iron ore
are yerj abundant in the drift of the central part of the Btate,
also patches of sand, generally on the lake shore, containing
minnte grains pf magnetic ore. These are found in connec-
tion with booldera of igneons rocks and fragmeDts of native
copper and have undonbtedly a common or gin.
We hare the most conclnsive eyidence that Ihey were de-
rived from the north, some o( them as far even sa Lake Su-
perior, where we know similar ores and rocks exist, in place.
To explain their transportation to the distant localitiea where
we find them so abundantly, we have only to refer to the ac-
tion of causes now producing similar results. On the ocean,
ice-bergs are often seen by navigators floatiDg southward ftr
into the Temperate Zone, borne along by submarine currentSi
and carrying with them rocks, gravel and other materials de-
rived from the colder regions where they were formed. As
they gradually melt under the warmth of mildpr latitudes,
their lading b slowly distributed along the path of the great
current which moves them on, and thus the bed of the ocean
is being strewed with the ruins of northern lands.
At a period of high absolute antiquity, but comparatively
recent in the geoloeical chronology, the greater portion of our
State was covered by the sea.
Far to the northward were elevated lands around which
ice-bergs were formed, freezing into their mass the rocka and
soils upon whioh they rested. Great fields of ice also stretch-
ed away from the base of hills and mountains from whose
sides the avalanche came thuadetaag down, loading the ice
with rocks, ores and the loose material of the surface. When
summer came, tie iee, released from the shores where it was
formed^ and moved by currents setting southward, bore away.
its burden and dropped it from place to place as it slowly
melted away«
11
There is reason to beliere that sadden elevittions of great
masses of land in distant portions of the globe also occurred '
daring this period, causing immense waves to rash witli tre*
mendoas force «over the sabmerged lands, and transporting •
the rabbiah of the ocean bottom from place to place. Thus we
can explain the diatribntion of those scattered primary iron
ores, and pieces of native silver and copper, in companj with
boulders of igneous rock, from Lake Superior, south across ■
Wisconsin, as far as Springfield, Illinois.
We know tbat those and other ores occur abundantly in the
region around Lake Superior, and we have only to recur to the
changes thrpugh which our globe has passed, to account for
their transportation hither. The ice-bergs of an ancient ocean-
were the first explorers of our northern mines. '
They, tore open the stony treasnries of nature with their
giant arms, artd seizing upon the glittering ore boro it away
only to scatter it in their sport over the oeeafi floor.
The ocean has returned to its limits, and we now find our
home on the very spot wbere its waves once rolled. The
wandering red man pidcs np these scattered metals and treas^^
ares them as charms and fetishes, or fashions them into arrows
and hatchets, and his civilized brother, the white man, founds*
upon their discovery extravagant visions of wealth.
From this explanation, (which I have made because it is a
subject of very frequent inquiry,) it will be seen at once that
no valuable expectations can be safely based upon the discov-
ery of these isolated fragments of ore. Where, however,
pieces of ore are found very abundantly, and especially where
they are not accompanied by boulders or drift gravel, they
may be the float of some deposit not far away, and justify a
careful examination.
The deposits of bog ore are very numerous in the swamps^
and marshes of the State, but I have found none as yet xof
snfflcient extent or richness to be of value. It is ^uite im-
portant that these ores should be discovered here in quantity^
as fhey are valuable to mix with the harder and richer ores.
13
Thej geuerallj occur near the edges of marshes, and maj
be easily recognized by the appearance ot ochre or iroa mat
which they present. Their extent may be readily ascertained
by sinking a few test pits over the low grounds to a suflGLcieat
depth.
I shall proceed now to speak of those deposits of ore which
are likely to become valuable as a basis for the manufacture
of iron in our States
ORES 07 TBS IRON BIDQB — IX>DaB OOUNIY.
The principal part of this ore is located on sections 12 and
13, in the town of Hubbard. It occurs in the form of a bed,
interposed between a massive grey limestone above and a soft
blue shale belcw.
It makes a presentation at the surface along the outcrop of
these rocks for more than a mile, and dips conformably with
them eastward. Its greatest thickness is at the eastern end
of the bed, where the limestone has been removed and the
whole mass has crumbled down so as to be shoveled up like
dirt It is here about 26 or 30 feet thick, but where it lies in
place under the limestone, it ranges from 10 to 15 feet, thin-
ning towards the east
The underlying shale has been pierced 20 feet in sinking a
well, and a hard blue limestone filled with fossils encountered
at that depth.
The geological position of this ore is probably very correct-
ly stated by 0 )L Whittlesey, who visited it while connected
with the U. S. Geological Survey.
He refers it to rocks of the same age as the Clinton group
of New York. The base of the ridge along which the sand-
stone, the ore, and the upper part of the shale present them-
selves, is coverel deeply with drift, and no rocks are seen
upon the surface for several miles in any direction.
North and west about 8 miles, the Trenton limestone is
found, capped by 15 feet of Galena limestone. ^These rocks
dip es^tward and a careful examination of the ground proves.
13
clearly that the upper surface of the Galena limestone ca¬
be more than 40 or 50 feet below the ore bed at Iron Ridge*
This fact serves to point at once to^ the equivalency of the
blue shale with that which overlies the Galena limestone in
the lead region of the State.
I discovered that shale first in 1851, and afterward noticed
it in my first *annual report upon the geology of Wisconsin in
1853, under the designation of " Nucula Shale." It seemed
to have been previously overlooked by the geologists who
had visited the mines on account of its very general removal
by erosion. Notwithstanding its great importance as one of
our formations, (attaining as it does a thickness of 60 feet,)
when its soft and perishable nature is considered, it does not
seem strange that it was not observed before. It forms the
base of the large conical '^ mounds " or hills of the mining
region, and its position can readily be ascertained by the
. springs, which mark it everywhere. Its lower portions there
are highly fossiliferous, and contain pyrites and occasional
seams of beantiful crystalized gypsum. It is very finely ex-
hibited in the great cut at Scales Mound on the Illinois Cen-
tral K. R, just south of the State line. It is not seen east of
Blue Mound until we encounter it at Iron Ridge.
In the wett it is capped by about 400 feet of limestone
which form the upper strata of the "mounds." These lime-
stones contain abundant fossils, and were first properly loca-
ted by Prof. Hall in the upper silurian, the equivalents of the
Clinton and Niagara groups of New York. They are evi-
dently identical with the limestones which form the upper
portion of Iron Ridge, and which extend thence unintenoipt-
edly south as far as Joliet, Illinois, and north nearly as &r
around the shores of Lake Michigan.
The shales are also identical, and have beenj^recognized by
Prof. Hall in Foster and Whitney's Report on Lake Superior
and district, as belonging to the Hudson River group. The
geological poeition of this ore and its accompanying ro(^
14
may therefore be ooneidered.iu settled. The limestone aboF*
• tile ore is a coarse cavemoiis sab-crjstalliae rock, in lajen
from 4 idches to a foot thick. It is intersected bj Tery laise
open Sssnres, which extend back some distance from the ledge,
and can be seen ramifying in all directions on the thinly cot-
ered snrface.
I observed similar f ssnres in the same formation, on the
east shore of Green Bay, above the Bay Settlement. This
rock at Iron Eidge contams but few fossils, and those mostly
casts. It is a magnesian<»rbonate of lime, quite pure.
The i»hy8ical character of tiie Iron Eidge ore is different
from tiiat of any other deposit known in tiiis country. It is
apparently related to the oolitic ores, though it differs from
c any of them that I have seen described. It consists of smaU
grains or concretions, varying in size from a mustard seed to
four times as large, quite irregular in shape, but usually
Bhghtly oval and flattened to a disc Color bright red, witlj
. a glistening polished surface, which feels greasy to tiie touch
and stains like red chalk.
These grains are apparently concretions formed around mi-
nute particles of silica, as is shown in Dr. Jackson's analysis.
Their flattened form seems due to gravitation. The deoogit is
unquestionably of aqueous origin, but I have as yet found no
fossiU m It nor do I know of any being found by othera.
When found in place, tiie grains are cemented together
into a moderately firm mass, which is regularly stratified like
the limestone above, and intersected by joints and cleavage
pUmee. The grains lie flatwise parallel with tiie beddinff
»d are occasionaUy mingled witii nodules of very compact
.lieipatite, which seems to have been formed by chemical
changes, induced since the original deposition ot the ore
llMsee are of various forms and sises and have tiie color and
gltttemng sur&ces of tiie small grains.
■Where the limestone has been removed, tiie cohesion of the
pattieles is soon destroyed bj atmospheric agencies and all
15
traoes of stratifioation dieepp^ftrg. A large fquantity of ore
has bee& thus partially decomposed, aud . in Boine inetanees
' 'washed down the hill eide- and formed a «libordinate deposit
In some cases it has mingled with clay, and forms an e;]ioel-
lent red chalk and mineral paint.
This loose ore is known as '^ seed ore " among the farnace
men who work it.
QDie limestone in' eontact with the ore bed is often filled
with cavities containing crystals of specular ore and pyrites,
and much iron is diffused through the whole mass.
The amount of ore existing in this bed cannot of course be
calculated with precision. It is safe, however, to estimate a
continuous layer of 10 feet over 600 acres of ground, which
would give us 27,225,000 tons of available ore, capable of
yielding 13,612,500 tons of metalic iron. This bed of ore
would, therefore, supply one furnace, producing 10 tons of
iron per day, for 87,391 years, or ten furnaces 'of the same
capacity for 8,739 years. It may therefore be regarded as
inexhaustible.
The chemical composition of the Iron Ridge ore is a mat*
ter of great importance^ and as several analyses had previ-
ously been made which differed considerably on points of
practical moment to the iron interest, I thought best to have
a new examinotion. I therefore submitted this ore to Dr.
Charles Jackson, of Boston, whose distinguished reputation
both in this country and Europe, invests his results with au-
thority wherever they may be read, and whose large experi-
ence in the examination of iron ores, especially q[ualified him
for the task.
The specimens selected were from the ore as it was prepared
for the fhmaee, and where all Ihe^qnalities of that kind of ore
• would be likely to present, and Dr. Jackson was requested to
spare neither pains nor expense in ascertaining the existence
of any substances' which viroiild injare the. quality of the iron
made from it.
16
The results here given ia his report upon specimen No. 8,
apply to the great mass of loose ore at the western extremity
of the outcrop where the Northwestern Iron Go. obtain
ore.

Pbof. E. Daihkls,
State Geologist to Wisconsin,
Deas Sib : — ^I have analyzed sample No. 3. of the iron ores
yon left with me, and have obtained the following result.
It is an oolitic iron consisting of flattened grains, the sphe-
roids having grains of quartz sand as nuclei. These grains
are cemented together by a clayey like mass of fine ore.
On chemical analysis, made with the utmost care, the fol-
lowing results were obtained per cent.:

. 7,760
Magnesia, .
. 0,640

Lime,

This ore was searched for phosphoric acid, sulphur and sul-
phuric acid, arsenic and arsenious acid, but no trace of them
can be discovered. The magnesia and the lime are combined,
not with carbonic acid, but with silicic acid or silica. The
alumina is combined with silex, forming with the above nam-
ed silicates a clay, which is mixed with the iron ore. Oxide
of manganese, in the proportions in this ore, is benefidal to
the iron, and improves the quality of bar iron made iiom it,
giving it a good steel forming quality.

Yours, Chajkles T. Jacebon,
State Assajer.
It will be seen by this analysis diat Dr» Jackson failed to
'fmd phosphonu in this ore, thongh carefnl search was made
fbr it The ore has long been reported to contain that noxions
9abstance, which was supposed to cause tibe brittleness seen
in castijigs made iroin it, when ooid.
It is the opinion oi Dr* Jadson thai itito brittleness is caus-
ed by the sileor wUdi fborms the nnoleus of the grains of ore,
and which, from its intricate combination, is not separated by
the ordinary process, of reduction. He recommends a mix-
ture of calcareous ores, or. a flux .of lime, with careful experi-
ments as to amount ot materials. This peculiarity does not
injure the ore &r bar iron or steel, and its composition is em-
iAently favorable for. those purposes.
The location of this bed of ore Is such as to make it the ba-
sis of an extensiye manufacture of iron. It is encircled in all
directions by heavy hardwood timber, most of which will be
tributary to the furnaces, fumishiug charcoal cheaply and
abundantly for a long time to come.
It is but 40 miles from Lake Michigan, with which it is con-
nected by the Kijwaukee & La Crosse R. R. This road runs
directly through the ore bed, and fhrnishes means of trans-
portation for the iron east or west, connecting with other linbs
at its termini and along its course. When the present stock
0^ fael ^hall be exhausted, coke from the coal beds of Illinois
can be brought to the ore, or the ore carried to the coal at a
trifling expense above the present cost of charcoal.
All the materials that are required for fluxes, lime, sand
and clay, are found in great abundance near the ore bed.
The expense of mining the ore is trifling, not es^ceeding
12 1-2 cents per ton. It requires no roasting, and yields its
iron by the simple application of heat id its original state. '
18
The Korthwestem Iron Company have a blast fnraace in
operation at Mayville, i 1-2 miles from the ore bed. Hiis lo-
cality was selected on acconnt of the water power, which
they use in driving their blast and other machinery.
lliey make a ton of pig iron from two and a quarter tons
' of ore, allowing for all waste in manofactnre. They haTe
also an estensire foundry just completed, where they aie
making water and gas pipe, lamp posts, building fronts, and
heavy castings generally, at prices which defy all competi-
tion. Tbey are able now to supply the home market with
' castings of the best quality made directly from the cm.
The product of their last blast was 8528 tons of pig iit»^
'They are preparing to erect extensive works at the ore bed
as soon as the demand for iron shall justify it
There can be no reasonable doubt of the feasibility of man.
nfacturing profitably, iron, nails and steel whenever capi-
tal enough can be tamed in this direction to sustain the ex-
tensive works required for such a purpose.
The experiments thus far made, amount to nothing in de-
termining the full value and capacity of this ore, and we are
fully justified in placing it, when all its circumstances are con.
ered, at the head of the iron deposits of the Northwest
In consequence of the failure of the first experiments at
Iron Ridge, this ore fell into disrepute, and is even now sup-
posed to be worthless by many who are not familiar with the
recent successful resaltd. It should be remembered, however,
that nearly all mines of iron and coal, are at first regarded as
valueless. Every ore bed presents some new feature, and re-
quires often patient and long-continued experiment to ascer-
tain its true value, and the best mode of rendering it availa-
ble. It is rare also to find an ore which is valuable for many
uses, unless combined with other ores.
Even the best Scotch pig is improved by a 'mixture with
this iron. We may be quite certain, therefore, that as exper-
iments shall be made with our ores, either by new combina-
19
«
tions or modes of working, llatent properties and values now
unknown will te developed.
The accompanying certificates from several of the princi-
pal iron manufacturers of the west, are the best possible at-
testations to the value of this deposit of ore. The North-
western Company deserves great credit for the quiet, perse-
vering manner in which it has proceeded in the development
of this great 'nte^est. It is now realizing rich returns upon
its heavy investments, and promises to be a most profitable
concern to its stock holders.

At Hartford, 14 miles southeast of Iron Bidge, a bed of
ore occurs, having the same physical character and geologi-
cal position as t|uit just described.
The country between these two points is covered with drift
and it is impossible to ascertain whether this is a distinct de-
posit, or connected with that at the fortner place. It is pro-
bably a distinct bed, as the Iron Ridge ore thins rapidly east-
ward. This bed attains a thickness of 6 or 7 feety and is
found ne^ the surface in the valley of the stream. It has
been struck in digging wells, which have been sunk into it on
the town plat, where it occurs at a depth of from 15 to 20
feet from the surface. The bed is not as thick here as at Iron
lUdge, and has a less horizontal extent. It is generally covered
by the limestone, and very rarely decomposed. Its chemical
composition is undoubtedly very similar to that of Iron
Eidge.
The same ore is found again * 80' miles N*. N-E. of Iron
Bidge, in the town of Depere, about 4 miles east of the vil-
33
1^26, aad aboat 7 miles south-east of Green Baj. It occun
oil the western face of the ledge, which extends along the Fox,
River and Green Bay, nearly parallel with their valliea.
This ledge is formed by the outcropping edges of the Clin-
ton and Niagara litnestones,and at its base, generally conceal-
ed beneath tlie rubbish, the shales of the Hudson River group
are found.
At this point a spring brook pours its waters, forming a cas-
cad'e whose rare beauty rivals even the famed Falls of Min-
nehaha. The falling water has excavated the underlying
rocks, and exposed a clean section, including the upper por-
tions of the shale so generally concealed, and revealing be-
tween it and the limestone a bed. of lenticular ore 6 1-2 feet
in thickness. It presents an occasional outcrop as we trace it
along the base of the escarpment for about 200 rods, and is
not seen again, as the slope is deeply covered.
It is identical in age, composition and structure with the
Iron RidgQ and Hartford ores, but the shale seems to be more
mixed with the ore than at those places.
Its position in respect to watQ^ transportation is very favor-
able, and as the whole region is covered with forests of hard
timber as yet scarcely touched by the woodman's axe, fttel can
be easily supplied; It is only 4 miles from a steamboat latid-
ing, and its products can be cheaply transported to any wos^
em market. The land on which it occurs is mainly owned b;^
Hon. James Howe, of Qreen Bay, and D. M. Loyj Btfq^, Bepere*
Traces of the same ore are also seen aloag the ledge north-
east of Green Bay, but no considerable deposit occurs.
QtOK 0BB8 OF BLAOK BIVEU FALLS.
. The ores of this region have hitherto remained almost en-
tirely onncfticed, althongh their great value justified a much
earlier exploration.
They were first discovered by Mr. Spaulding, one of the
proprietors of the town, while connected with the Govejrnment
.wrveys. They are mentioned by Dr« Shumard, the accom-
24
plished palaeontologist, of the Missouri Geological Suryey, in
Owen^s report of 1851.
The Geology of this portion ot the Black River Valley pre-
sents many points of interest both scientific and economicaL
The Potsdam sandstone is the prevailing rock, giving ori^n
to the sandy soil which covers the surface everywhere except
on the hillsides or in the lowest valleys, where patches of
clayey soil occur. The surface is generally level or gently
rolling, but occasionally the outliers of the sandstone rise in
castellated cliSa and towers of great beauty. These are usual-
ly the culminating points of the relief and from their tops
magnificent views of the surrounding country can be obtained.
At a lower level rounded hills are seen composed of the softer
beds of sandstone, or of the primary slates which underlie
them.
The Potsdam sandstone contains fewer calcareooa bands
h^re than farther east^ and is generally soft and crumbling.
The configuration ot the country is due to the erosion of the
sandstone, which cnce stretched across the broad valleys, as
high as the loftiest outliers wliich now remain to mark the
ancient limits of thi» formation.
Occasional fossiliferous beds occur, one at the base of the
sandstone, filled with dim casts of large crustaceans, others at
higher levels with, lingula prima 9ad lif^gula antiqua, often
so abundant as to compose half the bul]( of the layers in which
th^ are found. The decomposition of these shells has had a
very important influence upon the soil, redeeming it in great
measure from the sterility which is so common where sand
predominates. Immediately beneath the sandstone and occa-
sionally rising through it in rounded hills from 100 to 200 feet
high we find the azoic and igneous rocks. The former con-
sist of chloritic, micaceous and argillaceous slates; the latter
of granite, trap and sienite.
The-sandstone gives no evidence of disturbance or meta-
morphism by heat, but reposes upon the upturned edges of
the slates or rotinded BTiminitB of igneous trocks, with only
such slight dips as would natorallj result from deposition ou
an uueyen surface. In its lower beds near the line of jonc-
tioQ it often contains waterworn fragmentsof these rocks miz^
ed with pebbles of quartz. The slates and igneous rocks are
seen only at comparatiyely low lerels where they haye been-
uncovered by the removal of the. sandstone. The igneous
rocks are entirely confined to the batiks and bed of the river..
Yery fine sections of the junction of these rocks with the over-
lying sandstone are exhibited along the river.
The iron ore is associated with the chloritic and micaceous'
slates of the azoic rbcks. It occurs in the isolate ridges or
mounds formed by these rocks, and is encountered occasion^'
ally over the space of a township. The most important de-
posit however is located on sections 10 and 11, township 9X
north, rsiuge 4 west, about two miles abote the village of
Black River Falls. In iiescending the river we first meet
with this ore, about 60 rods below the mouth of ^en's creet|
on the west bank; The slates here rise from the waters eclg!^
and present a clean exposnre of about 18 feet dipping S, W.
46^. They are very soft and fissile and exhibit a curved la-
mination. The upper portion of the slope is concealed by
debris but the surface is covered with fragments of ore and
white quartz and a brecciated conglomerate of sand, ore and
slatle. Sixty feet above the water the sandstone is seen form-
ing the top of the bhi£ This exposure extends about 15 rods
and is then covered for a short distance but soon emerges
again and rises in a bold cliff 60 feet above the river. It con-
tains here bands of hard massive hematitic oie, from 6 to 40
feet wide. The slates are divided by smooth joints into large
angular blocks, and the same joints pass uninterruptedly
through the ore, which partakes also of the slaty cleavage.
It has often a Ugniform structure, occasionally so distinct as to
resemble perfectly pieces of fossil wood. Quartz is sometimes
found combined with it in alternate layers, giving it a band-
38
ed appearanoe. It is nsaallj masfiiye, having a sab*oonchoid-
al fracture, dark grey color tinged with red, sab-metallic lus-
tre, and sometimeB magnetic. Yeins of red ochre resulting from
decomposition are common. From this point the slates and
ore sink rapidly towards the south-east^ and 40 rods below
just emerge from the water. ' Here thej seem to cross tlie riv-
er as they occur on the opposite side, presenting nearly the
appearance before described.
13ie ore has been mined here in the edge of a low bluff on
the K E. qr. of the S. W. qr. of sec. 11, about 6o feet above
the river. It is here a mixture of red and brown hematite
with numerous nests and seams of ochre, often banded and
uniform and at its junction with the slates very siliceous.
It is bounded on the north by very fissile chlorite slate
which seems to shade off gradually into the ore. The open-
ing luade in the bank displays the connection of the slate
and ore very clearly. They both dip conformably 55®, in a
direction nearly £. S. E., and ace intersected by joints and
cleavage planes similar to those on the other side of the river.
The sur&ce is covered with ore for about 40 rods south of
tbiB opening but no clean exposure occurs.
After passing over a space of a few rods covered with drift,
and destitute of ore, we strike a heavy deposit of black oxide
highly magnetic. This deposit rises southward and has been
quarried for the furnace, so as to present a clean exposure 46
feet high fronting the river, showing a dip of 75^ S. E. No
rock is seen in connection with the ore here, but it has the
general dip of the slates which have no doubt decayed and
^ left it alone. It is mixed with veins and nests of quartz,
which separate from it by burning. By this last process it
seems to lose ite magnetism also.
From this point the ground rises rapidly about 40 rods
south, till it culminates in a large hill known as Tilden's
Mound, 180 feet above the river. Hie base of this hill is oc-
cupied by chlorite slate, but the upper portions are covered
27 •
witli ore. South of this place no slate or ore is seen bnt about
12 rods from the base of Tilden's Mound S. W., in the bed of
the river occurs a low mound of greenstone trap rising 6
feet above tlie water, and a few rods farther west are two
small islands of the same rock, which are seen in the accom-
panying section. It is a very heavy, fine grained greenstone,
highly ferruginous, and divided by joints into angular blocks
and tabular masses. Its proximily to the ore may perhaps
have some connection with the magnetic condition, which this
portion of the deposit has assumed. West of these trap is-
lands about 15 rods, a light colored reddish sienite, composed
of red feldspar and green hornblende, rises 12 feet above the
water and forms the lower portion of the river bank. This
rock extends with occasional interruptions S miles below^
sometimes rising 50 or 60 feet above, and again sinking be-
neath the water. At the fall^ it extends across the river and
forms a natural dam^ to which is due the splendid water-power
which constitutes the principal interest of the town. At the
Falls it is intersected by veins of quartz, in which aro occa-
sionally found minute particles of sulphuret of copper.
Small veins of specular iron ore are seen also, often trace-
able for 20 or 30 rods, accompanied by Jght colored quarts,
the sienite is last seen near Ledyard's mills where a soft, de-
composing gneiss or stratiform granite rises 12 feet above the
river.
The texture and hardness ot this rock are very irregular.
It contains seams of quartz which are left by the decomposi-
tion of the feldspar and mica, aad also scattered specs of cop-*
per pyrites. Its dip is about 65°. The lines of stratification
are curved near the edges as if bent down by some great
weight resting upon them.
Above this rock, and resting almost horizontally upon its
upturned edges, is the Potsdam sandstone. Hie lower layer
is a band of conglomerate with micaceous sandstone, suc-
ceeded by a thin seam of micaceous shale, and this again by
coarse sandstone, which rises to the top of the bank.
28
The upper portion of the gniess has often decomposed, and
in some instances its constituent elements have been recom-
posedy and have formed a rock beneath the pressure of the
sandstone, more enduring than that from which it originated.
The product of this chemical change seems to be a sort of
consolidated kaolin containing mica, and perhaps chlorite,
which it resembles in softness and greasy feel. It cuts read-
ily with a knife, and when polished and wet, presents a beau-
tiful mottled surface, oaused by a light colored mineral like
feldspar, semi-crystalizcd upon a ground of green and gray.
Some fine blocks have been cut from it, but the rock is
probably too limited and fragmentary to be of any commer-
cial value.
This gneiss continues above the river for about a mile be-
low Ledyard's, where it passes beneath the sandstone a short
distance above Shepherd's mill. At this mill a small island
of sandstone occurs, composed of. the coarse grits which lie
just above the granite. The upper layers are filled with casts
of very large trilobites, and on a smooth surface of the sand-
stone, beneath a seam of' shale, the tracks of these animals
are seen marked by two rows of double impressions parallel
with each other. The position of these remains and tracks
cannot be far from the base of the lower Silurian, still it is
quite possible that the igneous and azoic rocks on which these
sandstones rest were hills in the ocean of the Potsdam period,
and that older beds have been deposited in its valleys. I
have made this extended notice of the geological association
of the Black Biver ores en account of their peculiar and un-
usoal interest
The accompanying section from the iron works through the
ore at Tilden's Mound, and across Slack Biver, will exhibit
clearly, itd connection with the rocks. .

An enterprising German Company have recently erected
a blast furnace, driven by water, on the east bank of the
river. They mix the red oxide and magnetic ores, and flux
with lime.
They have attempted to use hearths from the Potsdam
sandstone of the neighborhood, but have failed to make them
work, on account of die lime which they contain.
They have also burnt out a hearth from Amherst, Ohia
In consequence of £hese failures they have not yet made much
iron, but the results are so far highly satisfactory.
From their experiments the following facts are ascertained :
Two tons of the ore will yield one ton of pig iron ; cost of
mining, $1,50 per ton, including delivery at furnace ; twenty
per cent, of lime required to flux the ore.
An approximate estimate of the amount of ore at this point
will be entirely safe at the following figures :
TVest bank of the river, on land ownei by Darrow and
Curts, 15,000,000 tons ; east bank of the river, 28,000,000
tons, including the Iron Company's location and Tilden's
Mound, giving an aggregate of 43,000,000 tons of available
ore.
Other deposits exist in the vicinity, which a ill no doubt be
valuable in time, but which are less favorably located for
present working.
This locality is well worth the attention of iron masters and
capitalists, on account of the accessibility and superior qual-
ity of its ores.
It is also a good agricultural region, and lands may bo ob-
tained very cheaply for farming purposes. The soil, though
less durable than in some localities, is warm, quick and easily
worked, and the adjacent pineries furnish an excellent mar-
ket for the products of the farm.

BKOWK HEMATTTB OF EKONTON, BAtTK OOXmTT.
This ore is located in the (own of Marston, on sections 9
and 10, town 18, range 2, east. Its geological position is in
the Potsdam sandstone, which occupies most of the snrronnd-
ing country, capped on the higliest points by limestone, (lower
magnesian limestone.)
The ore presents itself on the east bank of Tower's creek,
and extends from the brow of the hill down ita slope, and
some little distance into the valley. The surface is coyered
with fragments over about ten acres, generally small, but
sometimes attaining a ton's weight.
Several shafts have been sunk through the ore on the hill-
side to the depth of 10 to 20 feet. It was found extending
to that depth, mixed with fragments of sandstone and flints,
but no rock in place has been found yet in excavating. Large
masses of sandstone lie upon the surface, in the fissures and
cavities of which veins of fibrous hematite occur ; also frag-
ments of very pure white honistone similarly mineralized.
No clean section can be obtained here, as the entire slope
is covered with loose material. It is therefore impossible to
state the precise form or extent of this body of ore. On the
surface it extends about 60 rods east and west, and 80 rods in
width.
The valley of Tower's creek in which it occurs has been
worn out of the sandstone, which rises on either side over 300
feet, and is capped by limestone on the west.
The ore was no doubt formed in the sandstone previous to
the wearing down of the valley, and by the removal of the
rock in which it was once contained, has been left scattered
upon the surface, or mingled with its rubbish.
No marks of volcanic action are seen in the vicinity. The
strata of the sandstone are undisturbed, generally soft and
crumbling, but furnishing some layetB bard enough for good
building material.
r«3
Some very fo^Biliferond bands oocnry filled mainly
trilobites, rarely however well preserved.
The apecimeDS collected for analyses were not forwarded
to me in time, and I cannot therefore present in this report
the composition of the ore.
It iS| however, clearly a hydrated brown oxide, qnite pnre,
generally massive, but frequently stalactite and mamillary,
often« assuming beautiful imitative forms. In the seams it is
fibrous, and sometimes banded. It occasionally contains
small pebbles of quartz, intipiately mixed with the ore like a
conglomerate.
It will yield 45 per cent of metallic iron. It is safe to esti-
mate its amount as equal to a solid bed 5 feet thick over 10
acres, which wo aid give us 272,500 tons of ore.
The country around is heavily timbered, aud lime and oth-
er qiaterial needed in a furnace convenient.
Jonas Tower, Esq., an ironmaster of large experience and
great practical skill, has erected a small blast furnace, capa-
ble of producing about 3 tons of iron per day, and intends to
manufacture stoves, castings, etc., on the spot. The amount
of ore is of course too small for an extensive or permanent
business, but will do well to supply the local demand.
I observed a similar ore in the same geological position, in
the tunnel west of Tomah, on the La Crosse Railroad. The
top oi the hill above the tunnel is covered, with fragments,
which occur also occasionally in the dirt thrown out of the ex-
cavation. Largo fragments of white hornstone, intersected
by small scams filled with black hematite, are common from
Q-arrisonville, on the Baraboo, westward and northward as far
as Black Kiver. They are also frequently met with, east of the
Wisconsin as far ab Lake Mills, Jefferson county.
SrSOULAB AND TITANIFKROUS IBON OF BABABOO.
The lower part of the Baraboo valley is one of the moet
interesting portions of the State. In variety and. pictoreoque
'\
88
beaatj of aoenerj, it cauaot be surpassed in the west. The
Potsdam saadstone has here been violently disturbed, oud ivk
some ca^es changed, from a sofb crumbling state into a very
hard quartzite, usually of a red color, but often grey or band-
ed with red and white. . Bapges <^ this quartzit^ extend of-
ten several miles, and form lofty hills ^Ith preciptious es^
carpments. The high blufis of the Baraboo at the fTarrowsi
at Spirit Lake^r and at Garrison ville, are mainly compose4 of
quartaite.
At the latter place, just back of Mrs. Garrison's house, the
quartzite forms the top of the bluff, while at the base, the
sandstone seems only slightly changed, and furnishes a build-
ing material of excellent quality.
On th0 opposite bank of the river the rock is unchan^d,
but a band of limestone occurs in it so pure and extensive as
to be quarried and burnt for lime. This is located on land
owned by Mr. Eiky, and is the only instance of the discovery
of good lime in the Potsdam sandstone of this State.
The quartzite is magnificently developed at Spirit Lalce^
where it rises SOO feet above the water, in almost perpendicu-
lar cliffs, whose lower portions are concealed by huge masses
which have fallen down from above*
Veins of ,mUky quartz, sometimes containing geodes lined
with fine crystals, traverse thja. quartzite in many localities,
without any constancy of direction. Associated iwrith these
are also veins of specular and titaniferous iron ore.
This ore is vwy irregularly distributed, but follows the
general co^rse of the quartz in its passage throufi;h the iTOcks.
It is not* however, confined immediately to the veia but io-
lated bunches of it occur in the quartzite adjacent to the vein.
It is usually made up of thtr lamincB, slightly waved and
cleaving readily apart The planes of lammation intersect
each other in all directions, giving to the mass an appearance
like some of our lead ones.
It is very brittle, slightly magnetic and tas a brilliant srilt
metallic luster and lead grey color. No perfect crystals occur
but crystalline faces are occasionalls observed. • •■ , .r

I have examined these reins with considerable care but
have been unable to discover the ore in snflScient qnantity to
be of value. It was supposed by some to contain silver and
analyses were reported to have been made which discovered
a large per centage of that metal. I therefore submitted it
to analysis, and it proves to be a specular and titanif^^us
iron ore, containing some tungsten.
This mineral is usually associated with igneous rocks, and
volcanic emanations, and may have been introduced by the
same agencies, which have vitrified and upheaved the sand-
stones of the Baraboo.
The region in which it occurs deserves a careful and minute
study, which it will be my aim to give It at an early period.
The ores that I have described include all those of any con-
siderable value yet discovered in the acoessible portions of
the State.
From specimens brought to me and informatim gathered
from reliable sources, I have reason to believe that large and
valuable beds of ore exist in the unsettled districts of the
North.
These deposits are valueless now on account of their dis-
tance from navigable waters, or other modes of transportation.
This region is now about to be opened by the Chici^
Fond du Lac and Lake Superior R R., and the means will
thus be furnished for bringing the resources of this hitherto
neglected and almost unknown country within reach.
A thorough exploration of the Western portion ot the State
will be the first work of the survey next season.
MANTTFACrSBE OF DBtOK IN WIBOONSIN,
It has been shown that we have an abundance of good ores
oapable of being cheaply mined, reduced, and transported.
It is proper now to consider to what extent these ores can
be profitably used in the manufacture of iron in our State.
8$
The qnestioQ fairly stated is this : Can iron be made from
these oresy on the ground, as cheaply as irpn of the same qual-
ity can be imported from those minesy which now mainly
snpply oar market.
A comparison of the cost of making iron here^ and the cost
of imported iron, will enable us to leach a conclusion not far
from the truth in prosecuting this enquiry.
Unfortunately, however, the elements of such a comparison
are deficie9t on our side, as the production of iron thus far
has been <K>nfined to a single furnace which has only been in
operation a short period and devoted wholly until recently
to pig metal. Still enough has been done to indicate the
feasibility of a large home production, when our iron works
shall have become fully established. The following estimates
will show what can be done here in producing pig iron.
Estimate of the cost of producing a ton of pig iron from the
Iron Eidge ore :
2 1-1 tons of ore at 75 cts per ton.
150 bushels of charcoal at 5 cts. per bushel.

The cost of iron at Black Biver is increased nearly |i per
ton over that of Iron Bidge, by the expense of lime for flux,
85
and also of fuel. A considerable redaction in these items
will take place when the railroad communication is perfected
to that point As to the local market its inland position will
afford it a protection quite equal to this increased cost.
These estimates will not vary much from Ifhe actual results,
though in some minor particulars thej maj be found incor-
rect, as the cost of labor, fkiel, &c. is subject to fluctuation.
The following figures show the cost of making pig iron in
those districts where it can be produced most cheaply at
present, and which consequently control the market :
Scotland, (scotch pig.) per ton. $12 50
England and Wales. " 18 75
New York. " 18 60
Ohio. « 18 00
Pennsylvania, " 16 00
To these prices we must add transportation and duty to the
foreign iron, and transportation to the American iron.
. The former at present quotations, are selling at 28 to 85 per
tqn and the latter, about 80 to 33. As prices are now ruinously
low, we may safely take these figures in our comparison.
According to these prices we have an advantage of from $10
to $18 per ton, over any other furnaces whose products are
sent to our market
An expenditure of $10 per ton more than the cost of
pig iron, turns the ore into castings of every description, with-
out the expense of smelting.
The manuiacture of bar iron has not been attempted as yet
in our State, and the impression seems very general that we
must always import it from abroad. It is diflScult to find any
support for this conclusion. The capacity of our ores to pro-
d;ace good bar iron and steel is undoubted, and there is nfothing
in the nature of things to prevent their being used for these
pQrp,09eB,ezcept the want of capital and skiU,to bring out thier
latent value.
Tl^e making of bar iron is neither so intrieate nor so e:q>en-
siTe a business as to be monopolized, ^e following ooixlea'-
ST
ged remarks from ^^ Oyermaos Treatise upon the Manufacture
of Iron" will enable those not practically familiar with this
subject to judge for themselves, as to the practicability of es-
tablishing this branch of iron manufacture.
^^ Pig or crude ir<Hi is converted into wrought or bar iron
by refining, forging, or drawing.
Considerable wrought iron is also manufactured directly
from the ore.
The difiCerence in the quality of wrought iron consists main*
ly in its different,degree8 of ductility and malleability. Good
wrought iron is nearly pure iron with amecbaoical admixture
of cinder. In most kinds of commercial iron we find from
one quarter to one half jper cent, of carbon, more or less sul*
phur^ silicon or silex, phosphorus, manganese, and in all
Swedish iron, more or less arsenic.
The nature of wrougl^t iron is seen ly examing the operation
of puddling. In melting crude iron in a puddling fdmace it
comes in contact with cinder, containing oxides of iron man-
ganese. In mixing the fiuid or semifluid iron with this cin^
der, it will cause the oxidalion of such substances as are more
easily oxidized than iron, which of course diminishes the
fusibility of the metal.
Constant work and mixing cinders with it prevents the
formation of large crystals, and the metal cryetalizes and ad"
heres by cohesion in small particles, forming a soft spongy
mass. The large pores in this mass are filled or covered with'
a coating of cinder, and when compressed by squeezing or
otherwise, form a mixture of iron and cinder.
In drawing or stretching such a condensed mass, the crystals
are elongated, form threads, and these together with the oxidi-
zed matter which keeps them apart form the fibre of the iron.
We thug see that the fibre is the result of a particular form ^f
metal, and may be produced with very iinpure iron, which
notwithstanding its ixopnrity, may be very strong.
Strength depends upoi^ the fineness of the fibre. In many
parts of the United States wrought iron is manufactured di-
recly from the ore in bloomery fires.
•88
Large quantities of iron are made in this manner in Xew
England, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Micliigan
and other States.
A small capital only is required to work these forges, and
where ore is cheap they are profitable. The quality of the ore
determines in a great measure both the quantity and quality
of the iron. Only rich ores can be used with success. A
large bloomery will make about 2000 pounds of iron daily, at
a cost of about $35 per ton. This article is generally purer
than puddled iron and very suitable for ^nall iron. This
mode of manufacturing is sometimes called the Catalan
method.
AU experience however has shown that first rate pure and
uniform iron cannot be made directly from the ore nor from
hot blast iron in competition with the foreign prices. The
iron most In demand and for which best prices are obtained
is wire iron, steel iron, and iron for the use of hardware man-
ufacturers.
The cost of making iron of course varies very much, and
the following estimates are only applicable in a general sense.
Ore is obtained in some localities at 75 cents a ton of 2240
lbs., in others it costs $4, and even higher prices are paid.
Hematites and all hydrated oxides work cheapest in the
fiimace. The ease of melting one kind of ore so much exceeds
that of others, that a very marked difference in price is no
objection to using the most e cpensive kind. Some furnaces
in New England pay as high as $10 per ton for ore, but it is
not uncommon to see suflScient ore for a ton ot iron brought
to the ftirnace for $1,
The amount of flux (which in most cases is limestone) varies
from 1-2 to 1 1*2 tons to a ton of iron, and is furnished at from
60 cts. to $5 according to location. Fael differs much in
price and quality. From 180 to 200 bushels of charcoal are
required to smelt the ore for a ton of iron, the price of which
ranges from 6 to 8 cents per buushel. One ton and three
quarters to two tons of anthracite, answer the same purpose.
89
In case raw bitamunoos coal is used an amount equal to
that of anthracite is required ; and as this coal may be obtain-
ed verj cheaply in some of the Western States, the advanta-
ges of that region for manufacturing iron are very obvious.
An equal amount of coke to anthracite is required per ton.
Smelting a ton of coke iron, where the coking is included,
costs $3 to $4 per ton. Iron may be refined in a run out, fire
with a loss of 8 to 10 per cent, the use of half a ton of coke
60 Dushels of charcoal, and at an expense of $1,00 for labor,
and $1,00 for general expense. Puddling is done from
$3,00 to $4,50 for labor per ton of iron, with a waste of 8 15
per cent, and consumption of 1400 pound of coal. When
the balls are hammered, the hammer man receives $1,00 per
ton. Drawing of the blooms into rough bars costs about 40
cents a ton.
In re-heating, from 3 to 10 per cent, of iron is burned, 400
pounds to one-half ton of coal used, and 60 cents to $1,00
in wages is paid to furnace men. The drawing at the rollers
costs in wages about $1,00 tor heavy bar, $2,00 for common
bar, and $5,00 for small iron. The general expenses in a roll-
ing mill are high, because of the extensive machinery, heavy
capital, and vicissitudes of trade. It may not be too high if
we assume $6,00 as an average expense per ton of .bar iron.
The expense of rolled sheet iron can hardly be estimated cor-
rectly, but $10,00 per ton for fuel and wages may be neat
the amount. The amount of iron produced in the United
States is estimated at about 800,000 tons per annum. The
labor of 250,000 persons is required to manufacfure it. The
consumption of iron is 1,100,000 tons annually, — ^300,000 tons
of which are imported from Europe. One-third of all the
iron manufactured in the United States, comes from Pennsyl-
vania, whose furnaces are capable of yielding 600,000 tons
per annum.
From the above remarks it will not be difficult to calculate
nearly, the cost and conditions of making.iron, at any given
locality. Let us now examine the prices of bar and rolled
40
iron with which oar furnaces and forges must compete. The
present New York quotations are as follows :
English bar, - - - $ 56 to $70 per ton.
American rolled, - - - 60 62 ** **
Swedes iron, - . . - lOO « «
Railroad iron, - . - - 65 a u
Abont $12 per ton must be added to these prices, for trans-
portation to our market.
The following table exhibits the prices of EngUsh biur iron
during 7 years, from '48 to *50. They were prepared by the
U. S. Treasury Department :

'^is table covers a period during which iron was lower,
than ever known before or since, and we may safely calculate
its average as expressing the full extent of competition,
which the American manufacturer must encounter.
The price of railroad iron ranges from $50 to $80 per ton
in New York. It is mostly brought from England and is
usually made of an inferior iron. Considerable railroad
iron has been made of late in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
A very general opinion seems to have obtained, that the man-
ufacture was very complicated and difficult This opinion is
without foundation. Mr. Overman remarks that ^' the mak-
ing of rails may be considered the most pleasant and easy
branch of iron manufacture."
There is no good reason why eveiy mile of western rail*
way should not be laid with Wisconsin iron.
' Upon the home manufacture of railroad iron I am glad to
be able to quote such authority as that of James Buchanan,
the present Chief Magistrate of the United States. The fol-
lowing remarks were made by Mr. Buchanan, on the floor of
the U. S. Senate, in 1844 :
'' Railroad iron is not to be confounded wi& articles (^
41
trade, It oomes in to form the material of onr highways,
stretching orer ihotisands of miles, and to be lengthened still
more from year to year ; not simply to be constructed once*
btit to be renewed from time to time.
"It is not more possible for any country to sustain itself
^nder a course of importations for such a purpose, than in
the importation of materials for its houses, and the fences on
its farms. Whatever measures are required, to secure the
early and effectual manufacture of this article here, should
be promptly applied. But it has been asserted that railroad
iron has not been, and cannot be, manufactured in the United
States, even at present prices, the duty included.
. '^ But why has not this iron been manufactured in our coun-
try ? Is it for want of capital, skill, or enterprise ? Surely
this will not be contended. There is no mystery in the man-
ufacture of railroad iron. It is a very simple process. We
are informed by Mr. Oakley, of the New Jersey Iron Co.,
that, ^ there is no difficulty in making railway iron, or much
less than in making many other kinds, which have long been
produced in this country.' All that I hare heara or read
upon this the subject, coroborates the truth of this opinion.
'^ I confess, sir, that I have a little American feeling upon
this subject. As an American citizen, I cannot brook the idea
that we shall be dependent upon Great Britain for the very
materials necessary to construct the roads on which we trav-
el. Surely, American railroads ought to be constructed of
American iron.'*
These sentiments are the expression of a genuine patriot-
ism, and do honor to their distinguished author.
The market for our iron is by no n^eans confined to our
State. There are no valuable iron ores in the Northern part
of Illinois, in Eastern Iowa, or in Minnesota, as yet discover-
ed. We have thus an extensive district, much of it already
densely populated, and all of it capable of sustaining a dense
population, which can be supplied with iron from our cnres,
more cheaply than from any other quarter. This district in*
elades the great cities of Milwankee, the metropolis of Wis*
conftin, and ^^Chicago, the metropolis of the Northwest, and
holds a popapulation of 2,100,000 people. Its annual con-
sumption of iron in various froms of ordinary use, cannot be
less than 22,000 tons Allow^ing it to build SOO miles of rail-
road per annum, and adding the consumption of iron in re-
rolling of old track upon the 2,000 miles of road slready com-
pleted, onco in ten years, and the annual demand for railroad
iron will not fall short of 35,000 tons. The entire demand for
iron will therefore be about 57,000 tons, the market value of
which will be not less than $2,280,000.
This may seem a very large amount in the aggregate, but
let any one sit down and calculate the amount of iron in all
the stoves, ploughs, tools, machinery, pipe, railroad bars, and
other fabrics of iron, used in the four or five great States which
we may include in the limits of our market, and he will soon
convince himself that it does not exceed the actual consump-
tion.
This extensive demand will of course increase with the
population, wedth, and facilities ^of intercommunication.
New applications of iron are constantly being made, and
these will be more numerous with the advancing civilization
of the West
But whatever extension this demand may take, our capaci-
ty to supply it will never be exhausted. We have ore enough
above water, and within easy reach, to make 14,000,000 tons
of iron. At 100 tons per mile, this would build five lines of
railway around the globe, and still leave enough for 15,000
miles at home. The entire annual consumption of the Unit.
ed States, could be,jjupplied fromour ore beds 12 yesrs, with,
out exhausting them.
Suppose the four . States of Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and
Minnesota, to use 60,000 tons annually^ we could supply these
States with their iron for 233 years.
Our fuel too, is no less inexhaustible. We have an im-
mense wooded district in the north from which charcoal can
be obtained tor present wants. • A little distance south of our
border, in Illinois^ lie the exhaustless coal beds of the g:reat
43
La Salle basin, Trom which fnusi come our permanent supply
of fuel* for the redaction of ores, and the heavy processes of
manufacture.
We have cheap motive power, abundant facilities of water
And railroad transportation, fireclay, fluxes, and every materi-
al requisite for manufacturing iron.
With bounteous hand the Great Providence has filled the
earth beneath our feet with ores, stowed away in its secret re-^
positories, or spread out upon its suaface, exhaustless supplies of
fuel ; scattered in profuse abundance fluxes of every kind ;
dammed up the channels of the rivers for water powers ; and
above all, conferred upon man the inventive intellect, to coh^-
bine and organize all these elements, and evolve therefrom a
thousand forms of use and beauty. We have as yet scarcely
begun to learn the extent of these magnifioent pi'ovisiond.
We send thousands of miles to foreign lands for iron rails,
and lay them down over our beds of ore. We turn over the
soil, red with iron, we stir and cultivate it, with ploughs, and
harrows, and hoes, made of foreign sto^k. We thus in our
ignorance, insult nature and spurn her richest gifts. Why
ahoold we tkus waste the best portion of oar glorious herit-
age } We have imported into the West nearly 300,000 tons
of iron during the last 10 years, worth $20,000,000, at $40 per
ton. How much this would have done to build up our own
industry, had it have been expended at home !
I am not willing to admit that American skill is so inferior
to European, that we cannot find means of converting our
ores into articles of the most common use, as cheaply as they
canb^ made three thousand miles away, oat of similar mate-
rial, and brought to our market.
Our elder brother of the Saxon race has come tr> us to learn
many things more difficult than this, and he is proud to ac^
knowledge the debt, for it is in his own family. We taught
him steam navigation. We have worked up his iron into lo»
comotivee, which hcv6 neverbeen equalled for speed, strength,
or draft, and which to-day are vindicating American skill and
genius on the iron highways of £urope. ^g^ pug* u.
The Old World does tribute to the capacity of our eugin-
.eere, by employing or oonsulting tbem on its grandest works.
The American Engineers are reflecting more lustre upon our
country's fame abroad, than all its foreign representatives, or
its army and navy combined. In the improvements of ma-
chinery, and processes of manufacture, in all that gives evi-
dence of progress in science and art, we have stood side by side
with the most advanced people across the water.
A few weeks since a small party met, by invitation, at the
magnificent iron works of Fbanois Algsb, Esq., in Boston, to
witness the ciM»ti{ig of one of those great cannon, which they
axe daily turnijog out (roqx that establishment, for the use of
the American navy. Among other distinguished persons
present were Col. Fremont, Dr. Jackson, and Sir Charles Fox,
the latter gentleiiaan an Englishman of great celebrity, and in-
timately familiar nj^ith Buch operations in his own country. —
It was with feelii^gs of patriotic pride, as an American, that I
heard the generous Briton applaud the beautiful and connect-
ed mechanism, of the works, and admit the superiority of the
guns to any yet made in England.
Every gun used in the English service is mariced condemn-
ed, when it bae been fired 750 times. Our guns can be safely
fired more than twice that number of times. Mr. Alger is
willing to warrant his guus to stand 1,600 charges«in proving.
(The theory is that every caimon will burst sooner, or later, as
each discharge changes the crystilization of the iron and
weakens it. Hence the danger of using old condemned guns^
at celebrations, &c.}
Eh guns are made ^tirely of American iron, and he has
succeeded in giving it this wonderiul tenacity, by combining
scientific knowledge and practical skill, in a oouise of long
continu/ed and careful ei^periments.
With such results as these before us, we cannot doubt that
our country can achieve its independence of foreign sources
of supply, in its iron fabrics. In this work our young State,
so full of energy and capabilities of good, must do its part —
45'
To this end onr resonrcea in tins direotion mnst be made
known ; tha valne of this interest must be inipredsed npon onr
people, and such a patriotic feeling aroused^ that we shall give
the first ])reference always to 9nr own iron.
The State in its organized capacity might properly nse only
WiscoDsin iron in the erection of its public baiidings, and ex-
empt all iron works from taxation during a reasonable period
after their establbhment. With such encouragement, and un-
der such a state of public feeling, capital will flow in this di-
rection, and the production of iron and iron ware will become
one of the great interests of our State.
We have now only three furnaces, and produce only a few
thousand tons of pig metal per annum, but we are to remem-
ber that from small beginnings like this, the mighty iron and
coal trade of Pennsylvania and other States, has grown up.
Anthracite coal was esteemed worthless as dirt, till Yankee
ingenuity, a few years ago, found out it could be burned; and
the best ores now used were, many of theni, tried repeatedly,
and pronounced worthless. Hme, energy, and perseverance
have done all that we see in the iron trade of Germany, of
England, and the most advanced portions of our own country.
The original conditions are here as favorable as they were at
fErst in those places, which have succeeded so well. They
have some advantages over us, and we can boast others of
eq^ual value over them.
It is well to consider the value of this trade in sustaining
and fostering other branches of industry. Agriculture is the
great paramount interest of our State ; but its prosperity de-
pends not less upon the marketing, than the raising of crops.
All experience has shown that the market (treated by home
manufactures, is far better and more reliable,, than any other.
We have a fine illuatration of this in our vast pineries, and
their iqfluenee upon agriculture. Whatever the state of the
foreign market, the pineries have always absorbed large
quantities of farm produce at high prices.
Look now at the splendid larzaing distriqt boordering Lake
46
Winnebago, and the Fox and "Wisconsin rivers, studded with
beautifal homes and thriving towns, radiant erery where vith
evidences of wealth and prosperity, and yon have a triamph-
ant vindication of the value of a home market.
The agricultural counties of the central part of the State
are quite as much indebted to the lumber interest for their
rapid growth in population and wealth, as to their natural fer-
tility and beauty. It is a matter of vital importance to our
farmers to secure a market for their surplus products. These
products are being multiplied more rapidly than the old sourc-
es of demnnd. The emigrants who once used our surplus,
have settled and become producers. The pineries are sup-
plied and the home market is exhausted. The same process
is going on in the great agricultural Sbates around us, tending
still to aggravate the difficulty. We are thus largely depen-
dent upon a distant market, both as buyers and sellers. Our
remedy is to multiply the variety of home products, and en*
courage home manufactures.
Every ton of pig iron manufactured consumes $10 worth,
and every ton of bar iron, $26 worth, of agricultural products.
If this iron is worked up into tools, utensils, and machinery
the amount of consumption per ton will of course be greatly
increased. If therefore our iron mines were worked upon a
scale equal to their capacity, and the legitimate demand
which they can supply cheapest, a home market of at least
$1,500,000 worth of agricultural products would be created.
This vast sum thus kept at home, would not only do much
to sustain and advance our agriculture, but to rear side by
side with it a diversified manufacturing and mechanical in-
dustry, supplying the wants and increasing the comforts of
our people.
If we would prosper permanently, we must do everything
possible within ourselves. Whatever the Creator as given us
in soil, mine, forest, lake and river, that is so much fundamen-
tal capital which we are to make the most of, if we would
carry out the designs of nature, and reap the reward. When
we have improved all our resources to their fullest extent^
47
and ezhauated invention in attcfmpts to create new valneS)
there will still be enough that we shall need, and cannot pro*
dace, to sustain onr foreign and 'domestic trade, and help to
'^ind the silken chain of commerce round the world ;" and
more, what will be well, both for our i eputation, and otir
pockets, we shall then have means to pay our distant neigh^
bors for what we buy of them.
Iron is truly one of the precious metals. Its production
enriches without demoralizing. Its returns are sure and
steady, coming as the legitimate fruits of capital, skill and
labor united to master the secrets of nature, and unravel her
i^ubdest combinations.
Our iron mines are more precious than veins of gold.
^Spain owning half the New World, sending her ships ac-
cross the sea with every favoring breeze, guarded by invinci-
ble armadas and loaded with the gold of her provinces, dis-
pised her iron and drove away her craftsmen.
England shut up in her island home, wrought silently among
her mountains of iron, and supplied every market with her
fabrics and her wares.
Look now at the noble, growing, and beniticeht civilization
of the one : Contrast it with the rottenness and decay, verg-
ing fast upon dissolution, of the other.
The expansion and development of our iron interest is well
worthy of the serious attention of the State. It will add
largely to our wealth, population and prosperity ; it will en-
large our material dominion and give us commercial inde-
pendence, and by introducing a new element into our indus-
try, exert a healthy and prosperous influence upon the inven.
tive genius of the people.
A people devoted to a few simple pursuits cannot perma-
nently maintain a high intellectual character. The varied
talents and tastes found in the diiTerent members of every
family, require each its specific vocation.
A diversified and refined industry, gathers up and distributes
every germ of mind, gives to each the place best suited to
4»
)m capacity^ and tlias secores the eotapletest edaoafeion of the
general intelleet The riph and varied resources of our State
were desigued not only to fornish ne the meaoB of physical
ceimfort, but also to offer a field for the culture of that higher
nature, for whose traneient home the great giobe itself was
biV>ught into being.
COAL OF NOBTHSEN ILLINOIS.
I present below a few facts pertaining to the Goal deposits
of Northern Illinois, which have an important connection
with our supply of fuel ; especially that portion of it required
lor the manufacture of iron.
The most important of these deposits to us, is that located
at La Salle, on the Illinois river, about seventy-five miles
south of our State line. It consists of three seams, one six
fcet, one five feet, and one three to four feet thick.
I made, some time since, a thorough examination of this
coal district, and am fully convinced that its immense resour-
ces can hardly be over estimated. The La Salle coal basin
is about twelve to eighteen miles in diameter, and contains
not less than 1 50,000^)00 tons of coal. This basin is situated
at the terminus of the canal, and at the head of steamboat
navigation on the Illinois river. It is also traversed by the
Bock Island and Illinois Central Railroads. It ha», conse'
quently, the most extraordinary facilities for shipping coaL
Bie Illinois Central Railroad runs north from La Salle, and
connects with the Mississippi river at Dubuque, with the Ga-
lena and Chicago Railroad at Freeport, and through it with
the Madison and Beloit Railroad, Milwaukee and Mississippi
Railroad, and all the Roads which intersect the southern por-
tion of our State. We are thus brought into immediate con-
nection with these coal deposits, from which, at no distant
day, we miist derive a largo share of oar fuel.
I extract from the Annual Report of O., N. Adams, Esq.
the capable Superintendent of the Little Rock Mining Co
the following table of analyses, and accompanying remarks.

The coal from the Little Eock Oompany's shaft on, the lower
bed, has given general satisfaction for all domestic purposes.
Whether aaed in open grates or close stoves it bums freelj,
leaving but little ashes, and scarcely forming any clinker.
The cost of mining this coal and putting it upon cars or
boats, is about $1,15 per ton. As the coal trade assumes
magnitude and permanence, it can be raised from ten to
twenty cents per ton cheaper than now. This coal now sells
at $3 per ton at the top of the shaft ; cost of transportation
to Chicago by canal, 60 cents per ton I
The demand for the coal during the past two years has been
fully double the supply.
Dr. Norwood^ the veiy able Geologist of Illinois, says of
this coal district :
^' The position of the La Salle basin is not surpassed by that of
60
tmy oth«r in the West. It is eooseeted v^tti Lake Michigan
and the Mississippi river by means of the Dltaoia river and
the OanaL It is alao intereected hj the ilUnoie Oentral Rul-
road, giving acoTinoetion with both noiiJiern and sonthem
markets ; and by the Ohteago and Rock Island Railroad, giv-
ing it access to matketa both east and mat. Thus at no time
need yon fear an overstock in the market, as yon can send
year coals in all directions, both winter and snmmer, and the
demand will always be equal to the supply.
Hie accompanying table of analyses of Illinois Coals, com-
pared with those of other well known coals, will enable any
one to jndge of their relative valne. I send also a table of a
fsw foreign coals, which bear a high reputation among manu-
factores of iroo. I do this beoatise the iron ores of the North
are very abondant, and can be made a«ceseiblo to the 1*

H. 0. Freemen, Esq., the skillful mining 'engineer, and
manager, of tlie LaSalle Coal Co., says in a late report :
"The lower bed compares favorably with coals of high
repatatioa, Ite middle or six feet bed is scarcely inferior,
and its greater thickness will render it more profitable in
working. The seam of Oannel coal in connection with it
gives it additional valae. We have been using this coal for
eight months, in oar engine, atld Sti'd it an excellent coal for
generating steam. Id bumiog, the residnnm is coke and cin-
ders, and leaves the grate b&ts perfectly free and clear."
Mr. Freemen iDForias nae tbat the LaSalle coal is now h4-
ing used at (Galena and Dabugne'iEi the gas works of those
towns.
62
There can be no question as to its adaption to iron mann
factures.
Bituminous coal is very largely used for this purpose, both
raw and coked, in many parts of the globe.
In a letter just received from James 0. Clarke, Esq., Gen.
Supt Bl. Central K. R., he states :
^'In May, 1856, 1 ordered some slight changes to be made
in an ordinary wood burning engine, for the purpose of test-
ing the practibility of using Iliinois coal as fuel for the loco-
motives of this company. This engine was run upwards of
a month doing regular service, making 16,600 miles. The
experiment was so satisfactory, that this company ordered 20
coal burning engines, which are now in use. Nearly all our
freight trains are run with coal burning engines. They are
working well, and give entire satisfaction, at much less cost
for fuel than engines burning wood.
The lower vein at LaSalle is. quite free from sulphur and
other objectional matter. There is no doubt in my mind that
it will eventually be used as locomotive fuel in all northern
Illinois.
The LaSalle coal basin is being rapidly developed. I en-
close a tariff of prices, adopted by this line. You will ob-
serve that it is based upon a sliding scale, discriminating in
favor of consumers at a distance.
In reply to your enquiry as 16 "what this company would
carry iron ore for ; I will say upon the same terms as coal^
We feel dispored to foster the mineral traffic as far as
possible. In adopting our tariff, we did not look to the im-
mediate revenues to be derived from the traffic, but rather to
the development of the coal fields, and the increase of min-
ing population along our line."
"I speak of this coal matter from an experience of 10 years
on the Baltimore and Ohio B. TL and in the coal. regions of
Maryland."
By the tariff of prices alluded to, coal or iron ore carried
120 and under 150 miles is charged 1 3-4 cts. per ton per
mile ; 160 miles or over, 1 1-2 cts. per ton per mile.
63
The liberal and ehlightenecl policy adopted by the III. C.
R. R., looks to nltimate rather than immediate results, and
offers substantial eDconragement to the opeQiug of oar mines
of coal and iron.
I append a few tables and accompanying remarks, from
Overman's great Work upon iron. These are of great value,
too, in a praotical point of view, both to the public generally
and to iron inongers, as famishing valuable data for judging
of the relative valae of different kinds of fael.
The specific gravity of the different kinds of wood, is 0*
the first importance. This is the proper criterion of their value,
though wood is generally boaght by measurement. Its spe-
cific gravity ia directly in proportion to its amount of carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen. The following table shows the spe-
cific gravity of wood, water being the standard imit, and the
relative value of the mo3t common varieties:

The value of wood by measure, corresponds directly with
its specific gravity after being dried in the kiln. Oak is,
therefore, worth nearly as much again as pine for making
charcoal.
This subject deserves the close attention of the Iron Master,
for it is his business to select wood, and regulate its price ac-
cording to quality. If a cord of hickory is worth one dollar,
white oak is worth 77 cents, beech 65 cents, sugar maple 60
cents, white oak 81 cents, pine 54 cents, &c.
The comparative value of coal and wood may be gathered
from the following table du-efully prepared, and indicating
the results of numerous experiments :

OBJECTS OF THE SURVEY.
A few general remarks upon the Oeological Survey, may
not be out of place at the close of this report.
The obectB of this survey are to ascertain the character^
positicm, thickness, and horizontal extent of the various beds
.£6
of rock that oecar in Mir State ; to discover tke localictti,
qn^ity, xoode of occiurranoe, and amount of all valuable mia-
eral substances ; to examioe dhe soil in various looalitiee tfitk
a view to its agricultural capacities, uses, and the best motilns
of improving it ; and, in genetral terms, to ooUeet, armnge,
and pabliah all knowl^ge that oan be obtained of the phgrs*-
ical resoarces of Wjiaeonsln.
By this means onr own oitieMs, and the world at ku^e, will'
be fumish^ed with reliable information ooncemuig onr natntal
endowments as a State. The diesemination of enoh knowU
edge will invite population, hasten the developiaaent of otir
known resources of wealth, and at the same time open np
new mineral treasures, as yet undiscovered. In this way ev-
ery citizen ia to be a sharer in the substantial benefits of the
survey^ and l^ae a direct interest in its successful proMBecuitioa*
To accomplish these objects, the Geologist must visit eveiy
part of the State, and make the best examinations possible
with the means at hid disposal. In a State so large as ours^
this must occupy considerable time, and therefore it is impor-
tant that where paints of special interest or value occar, they
should be early noticed. In this particular, as well as in
others, the co-operation of the citizens of the State will be of
great value. If every intelligent person would carry out the
following simple suggestions, he would not only be accumu-
lating useful knowledge himself, but also advancing the Geo-
logical Survey, and contributing to science.
1st. Observe the character of the rocks, if any are exposed
in your vicinity, whether they are arranged in layers, (strati-
fied), or occur in irregular masses, (unstratified) ; whether
they contain any curious petrifbctions; or shapes of animals
or plants in stone.
2d. If there are different beds of rock lying one above
another, as sandstone, limestone, &c., note their thickness,
extent upon the surface, and order of superposition.
3d. In excavations for railroads, canals, sinking shafts for
66
wells, minuig, Ac^ preserve speeimeiis of the rocks, clays,
BoilS) ScCj of ererj foot in depth, and take carefnl minntes in
Writing, of the order in which they oocnr.
4th. OoUect specimens of All rocks, clays, marls, peats,
and all soils remarkable either for productiveness or ster-
ility in yonr vicinity. These shonld be fair average specimens,
and such as would afford, on examination, a test of the composi-
tfon- of the entire mass from which they are taken,
t Sth. Oarefolly preserve all petrifactions, and all bones,
teeth, tusks, or other remains of animals foond in the soils,
olays, gravels or elsewhere.
6th. If b^ds of limestone, fit for marble ; grindstone quar-
ries ; sand, which might be used for glass, &c.; clay for pot-
tery ; metallic ores ; or any mineral substance which, in your
opinion, might be valuable, occurs, collect and forward speci-
mens of each kind.
7th. Where veins of ore are being worked, (in tne "lead
region particularly,) notice their length, direction, increase
and diminution in thickness, as they traverse the rock, depth
below the surface, and product of ore. Accurate drawings
of particular veins which can be prepared easily by the prac-
tical miner, as he works them out, would be of great value.
8th. Let the owners of all works for the reduction of ores,
furnish a statement of the amount of ore worked, cost and
method of reduction, and pure, metal produced, during the
year.
9th. When quarries are being worked for building stone
capable of being dressed or polished, let owners of such quar-
ries prepare blocks or slabs, polished or dressed in the best
style, and forward them to Madison. Such blocks should
be at least 1 foot square and of the thickness of the layer to
which they belong. They will be arranged in the cabinet of
Economical Geology with the name of the owner, and will
represent their locality lor all time to come, in the State Col-
lection.
67
It is ot course for the interest of every quarryraan to ad-
vertise his stone in this manner, and it would be a great pub"
lie cbnrenienee, enabling any one tD see at a glance, tiie build-
ing material of our whole State. Accompanying such spec-
imen should be, a 'statement of the precise location of the
(Juarry, distance from railroad or water transportation, cost
of quarrying, and amount of stonQ accessible. This inform-
ation will be filed in the cabjnet, so that an architect may
Corhe to Madison and obtain such information as he needs for
publid 6r private purposes.
10. In general, collect all specimens, and facts, which! in
your opinion will be interesting or useful to be generally
known.
* PerBona residing near locations wliere interesting petrifac-
tions are attained, may do much for science by a little care.
Yery good local collections of that kind have been made by,
Gen. Smith of Mineral Ft, L A. Lapham, of Milwaukee, £.
O. Hobart, City Engineer of Beloit, Henry Woolson, Esq., of
Iron Bidge, and T. J. Hale, a talented young naturalist 6i
Bacine.
Specimens of rock or ores sKould be about 4 inches square.
Petrifactions should bd sent whole, whatever may be their
size; if brdken in extracting from the rocks, carefully preserve
the fragments. Soil, sands, &c., may be put up in four ounce
vials. Each specimen should be wrapped in paper by its6lf
with a label, stating it^ precise locality, written with ink.
"When thus prepared, specimens may be forwarded in a box
carefaliy packed, to fhe Staie Geologist, Madison, in care of the
Chvernor. They may be sent by the member elect from each
assembly district, who will no doubt see to their safe deliv-
ery as a matter of public interest, or for wared by any other
means which may be thought proper.
All communications may be directed to E. Daniels, Sivte
Geologist, Madison, where they will be sure to reach me at
iany time.
68
NATURAL HISTORY.
The great naturalist, Prof. Lonis Agaf»iz, is now engaged
in writing and publishing his work upon the animals of
America. Its completne^s will, of course, depend upon the
number of specimens that he may ma^ be able to examine.
For several yearo, many public spirited persons have aided
him, by collecting and forwarding specimens of animals.
It is certainly desirable that the animals of our State should
have as large a place as possible in that work. Kew and
strange animals are found, from time to time, which are lost,
for want of a little care.
Let such persons, as are willing to aid the advancement of
science, preserve in spirits, or otherwise, according to the
nature of the specimen, everything which seems strange or
new. Collect all the fishes of the streams, ponds, or lakes ;
also, the crawfish and shellfish, as well as, toads, frogs, lizards^
turtles, snakes, ius<^cta, &c. These can be put into cans, bot-
tles, or kegS) sealed and forwared, labeled with locality, Ac,
either to me, at Madison, or directly to Prof. Agassiz, at Gam-
bridge, Mass. They will be properly acknowledged, and
whatever is new among them will be named and described,
in the forthcoming work of Agassiz.
As a matter of public interest, and connected with the Na«
tural History of our State^ I call attention to the labors of
Dr. Weinland, a highly scientifiic German, now at Cambridgei
and bespeak for him the co-operation of the friends of
science. Dr. Weinland is fully endorsed, by Prof. Agassiz,
with whom he was formerly associated in Europe, by Dr. A.
A. Gould, of Boston, the distinguished CoDchologist,Dr.'Wy-
man, and the highest scientific authorities of the world.
I give an extract from his circular, and trust that in a flat-
ter of vital importance to the public health, as well as great
scientific interest, he will meet the response that he merits :
^^ I have commenced writing a hand-book on the PARAsnxs
OF Man, comprehending all the parasitic (intestinal) worms,
insects and plants (Fungi) that have been found in or on man.
59
This book is intended for the nse of every person who would
become acquainted with the interestiog history and organiza-
tion ot this groap of living beipgs, so mnch dreaded by, and
jet so dependent npon, mankind.
Our view is this : that only a thorough zoological ai d phy-
siological J^nowledge of these parasites can lead to a sound
understanding of the pathological phenonomena which they
produce in the human body, and, when necessary, to a suc-
ceasfal therapeutic treatment
Thus we shall, for instance, when beginning with the Hel-
minthes, or intestinal worms of man, first give a fulLaceount
ol the nature and organization of Helminthes generally, of
their embroyological development, their wanderings from one
animal into another, from man into animals, and from animals
into man, &c. Then on this theoretical zoological view will
naturally be based the practical medical view, aiming at a
thorough knowledge of all the different species that have been
found in man, of the prophylactic against them, of the patho-
logical symptons that indicate their presence in the humaa
body, and ot those remedies that have been proved success-
ful. *'
One example may show how necessary it is for the practi-
sing physician, and for the people generally, to be acquainted
with at least some facts ot the embroyological development of
these worms, viz :
Wehww nowbyexj?erimmtihat(meofthe moat common tape*
worms of man {the Tcenia solium), when eaten h*/ a hog^ prodiuxs
in the muscles of the hog the measles {rneasly porJc), We know thai
these measles contain the larcee of that tapeworm^ and that, if one of
them is eaten by man^ in an nninjured state, the larva develops it-
self into a regular tapeioorm m the intestine of the man.
In the same manner the dog gets its tapeworms from the
measles, found in the mesentery of the hare and rabbit, the
cat, from those found in the liver of rats and mice, etc.
I would most respectfutty solicit your assistance, and ask
of you to send me specimens of the parasitic worms of man
60
and animals. Any specimens sent to me, e^en the most
common, will be highly acceptable, and thankfully acknowl"
edged in my work. The cdfnmon earthworms, which are
generally considered as one species (Lnmbricns terrestris, L.),
but of which we have undoubtedly a number of diflferent
genera and species in the United States, and the hairworms
(Gordius aquaticus, L.), which show an extremely interesting
embryological development, are also much needed from the
diflferent parts of the country for careful examination. Liv-
ing specimens would be very valuable. Parisatic worms
may be kept alive for several days in the white of an egg,
hair worms in water, and earthworms in moist earth. To
send them alive is of course possible only in the warm season.
Dead specimens can be forwarded in small phials with alco
hoi of about 60 per cent., or with common whiskey.
Any specimens you may be able to send, please forward by
express to Dr. D. F. Weinland, at Prof. L. Agassiz's Zoologi-
cal Laboratory, Cambridge, Mass., — labelled concerning the
locality or the animals in which they were found. Also oth-
er remarks, which you might deem useful, would be grate-
fully received.
Trusting that ray labors will prove worthy of the support of
my scientific friends, I subscribe myself,
Respectfully, yours,
David P. Wetxland,
OAMBEiDoe, Mass., October 27, 1867.

EXPENSE OF GEOLOGICAL 8URTEYS.
As it has been supposed by some persons that our State had
made very large expenditures in Gjeological surveys, with
small results, as compared with other States^ I give below
some facts which wUl enable every one to judge intelligently
upon this poiQt. The three Western, States nearest us, who
have surveys of this kind, in progress, are Missouri, Ulinoiq,
and Iowa.
r
The Geological survey of Missouri was commenced in 1859
with an appropriation of $10,000 per annum, under the super-
intendence of Prof. Swallow. About $40,000 have been ex-
pended, and twp very creditable annual reports published-
lowa has an appropriation of $5,000 per annum. The survey
hrs been conducted by Messrs Hall and W hitney and has
been in progress three years. No report has yet been pub-
lished, but I understand one will soon appear.
Tlie Geological survey of Dlinois has $6,000 per annum.
It began in 1852 with $5,000, but has since been increased.
Dr. Norwood its able chief has made only reports of progress,
but has a large amount of materials for an interesting and
valuable final report.
Our own survey was commenced in 1858 with an appropri-
ation of $2500 per annum for tour years. Of this appropria-
tion, about $7000 was expended.
The uork was interrupted by the death of Dr. Percivaj
and as the appropriation was too small to sustain a creditable
survey, it remained suspended during 1856. Last winter the
survey was revived with an appropriation of $6,000 per ann-
um for six years. I was entrusted with one department of
that survey. Under my contract with the State, I have
drawn from the treasury $1,997 91 during the year 1857.
This covers all the expenses of my department f^r that year.
62
including outfit, team, transportation of specimens, fitting up
rooms, assistance, together with the cost of analyzing the iron
ores, which was necessary in order to determine their value,
before the publication of my report
There has been no other expenditure in this State, ibr Geo-
logical surveys than those here named.
It is but just to allow the Geologist time to matni^ his re-
sults, before finding fault that he has not done more.
In this State we have thus far had constant intermptioDs
and no one has been allowed to carry out to completion any
branch of the survey. The utility of such surveys is not at
this day to be questioned, after being so abundantly proved
by the experience of every important State in the Union, and
the united concurrence of the most intelligent nations of
Europe.
But that utility can only be developed by hard work and
patient study extended over a series of years.

For purposes of Reform Schools anS Htotises of R^ffbge,
buildhigs have beem planned frotn the pTisoti form And ap*-

The Commissioners have endeavored to avoid (and undoubt*

building to provide it with suitable and distinct appartmenti^
to admit of a careful classification of its intnates, separating

Ni^hblfl^ is reputed to be very stieoessfnl with tbie form of
government His institution supported by a city tax at an
anni^alr^xpense of only $8,600, has been in operation two
years ; there have been tinder his charge 185 boys and 1 girl ;
during this time no corporal punishment has been resorted to
an4 e:(cept for a few weeks at first, no bars, bolts or lock-ups
have been used, Mr. Nichols says '^When our school was
fir^t cipened, 30th Kov.^ 1855. The house was all barred at
length, and the cells had strong, and massive bars and locks
}ipon the doors. jBut the day pame when the bars, bolts and
lojcke^ lay scattered in the wildest confusion about the yard. —
Tbi8 fire did this work, ai^d so far the fire did a good worh.
We gathered tl^em together in heaps, and there they remain.
^yii0n we rempved into ournew building we had no tence,
bars or lock-ups. We were without a fence until last May,
when we were so exceedingly annoyed by the parents and
frienid^ of the. inmates, on the iSahbcUh especially ^ that we were
obliged to have a .fence as a matter of self protection, to
keep ovidde influences from our boys. Some of the boys
were ibold by tbejr parents to escape the first opportnnily
that offered itself. Some did escape from the known repeat-
ed solicitations of their parents or friends. Thus a fence
was deemed necessary to the wholesome discipline of the
school. Our experience is, that if we were situated far
enough from the city to deter the frequent visits of the
iriends of the inmates^ that we should need no fence around
our buildings.

jpmit ifli to set 8 )'9 fe^t below the suriaoe of fte ground anA
T feet above. The building is to be built with Waukesha
ston^, inhioh consists of an impenrishable <|uality of lime^ston^
of fine drab col4^r, to be \M in (bourses from 8 1-2 to 6 inebea
in thickness, and p^ginted with raised pointing. One inoalosf-
lable value that this material is possessed is its proof against
decay, of even tarnish. The stone, as broken from the quar-
ry, before their edges are mutilated by the pean of a hammer,
possess choice beauties, relieving the necessity of costly labo^
to beautify the exterior, even if desired by the most fastid-
ious, and when erected will be a standing monument of un-
fildiog beauty. The carpenter- work is to be built with good
materials in a plain, becoming manner, and the building is to
be covered with slate.
Itothing has been done tor mere ornament — even the
towers are used as ventilating shafts — but care has been taken
in the architectural plan to combine beauty widi usetulness,
and inasmuch as material was to be used and money expend-
ed in the erection of a building to so arrange the plan that
when erected it should possess in its internal arrangement and
external view a combination of beauty and practical utility.
It wi!! b »)d«.rved that the cost of this entire structure will
exceed largely the appropriation — $20,000 appropriated for
this object. But having a full and complete plan arranged,
10
we were prepared to oontract to build saeh portion of the
building as the appropriation would admit, and the part erect-
ed would be adapted to be united with ofller parts when built,
and the work done would be eompleto in itself, thereby ear-
ing to the State expenditures made by such adaptation. It
eonld not have been intended by the last Legislatare tiiat
tSO,000 would build and furnish for use aceomniodationB of
suitable capacity demanded by the State for this puipoee, if
so, their estimates were very imperfectly made.
The amount heretofore appropriated, $20,000, only admit-
ted of dosing a contract to build part of one building, (each
building bmg divided by a ooiridor, with walls of stone, ad*
xoits of building one half of each building, separate if desired,)
but the State will need at once the whole of one building, and
presuming that at tjhe present session of the Legislabire, the
requisite amount for that purpose would be provided, a con-
dition was entered in the contract requiring the builders to fin-
ish the whole of one building at like pricea, and at the same
time required for the part now under contract — ^provided the
superintendent of the building shall give the builders notice
to that effect^ by the 15th day of March next.
It is estimated to cost to enclose the groondsi erect one
building, Aimish the same with cooking and heating apparatus,
supply with water and sewers, and erect neoossaiy shops, $20,-
000 more than has been heretofore appropriated.
The cost of buildings, lot and fixtures of Houses of Refuge
in other states, is shown in the following table :

These comprise all the Houses of Befuge and Tteform
Schools, (of cities ^od states,) in onr country, and af-
ford a view of the principal features of sncfa institutions,
with the cost of eFMtiBg and expense ^f maintaining the
same. OompanBg the eost of epeoting etrnctiures in other
states and their accommodation, it most be apparent to all that
Wisconsin can not, for $20,000, complete suitable buildings,
demanded b; this State, for a House of Befuge.
The economy of the plan, however, and the cheapness of
building material at the place of locatien, will insure a bet-
ter buil<Jiug with equal capacity, much cheaper than most
other structures built for this purp<^se in many of the older
states. Its need is i^parent to every observing pereon. Po-
lice and Justices records show the nece^ty of providing a
suitable place to restore youth. 61 youths under 16 years of
age have been arrested and placed in jail, in the city of Mil-
waukee, from January Ist, 1857, to January l^t, 1858.
Juvenile offendeiscan be confined in county jails and pris-
ons, but can the State afford to punish youth in jails and pris-
ons among old offenders, by whom they are taught the very
science and masteries of crimS) from its lowest to its highest
branches ; where crime with all its fascination is i genfously
expounded to the young and curious loarnor ; where they be-
come charmed with the heroism of daring and undetected
fellonies, and when discharged, whether it be in twenty days
or six month?, go forth with bolder and n^ore lawless designs
than they had ever be{bre conceived, AiHy educated and pre-
pared to commence a career of vice and <^rime.
Is it not infinitely cheaper to reclaim y<>uth, than to pursue
an expert vilKan to prison ; to properlyi educate and give
them tradoa, than to have them committling their daily and
nightly depredations all over our State^
If it were not cheaper^ is it christian, is'it humane even, to
thus take tlie child ia his formative perioq, while the mind is
moulding into manhood, and habituate him in a prison to a
life die like of which he can not find in the world at large, and
IB

them against temptation, to which their hard tot has enpesed-
them« And iatmipemnoe in the hesids of tbrntlies also adds its
long list' to the sad roll of yoinhful deliaqnents.
These elasses are they who are to find a school and a home'
in this House of Itifoge And at; the period of dependadce,
and edcioalioii in the life of a child, its importance, therefore^
who can Sxreigh^ for these are t«) become future husbands^

Hi
' Hie sehool fand has be^n wisely set apart for edacatiiig tbe>
youth of the Statte, and its distribation is intended to be made
equal and alike, and invites all to come and be educated ; and
in this respect our municipal goremmisnty by rearing her sys-
tem of common schools, performs the part of a bountiful ben*
efactor, placing the means of education within the reach of
the poor as well as the rich ; but this noble system is itoi
complete while there are children who, whether by the ne-
glect of their parents and iipiardians, or by their Own perrer-
sity are deprived of its advalntages. ,
In establishing a B^orm School, the State providecufor, and
with parental authority, compels erring and neglected ycmth
to accept her liberality, and adds one more to her numeitxis
^istiutions ^&r the educatioil of children; but' if it shall
not appear that this class of youth hare an eqtial $ukd proper
tionate right, at least, to that:beneficient lund^ for the educa-
tion of children, without diyettipg the same from its strict
and legitupate intention, it then follows that its support mdst
be provided from <^ther sources. . /
In selecting a location cai:e was taken that it shonld be
where the« building could be\ supplied with running water,-
and the groiimU so elevated as to.adiliit of perfect sewarage.
Also to select a healthy location, and> aa labor is to form ait
important part of the exercise of delinquents, to select such
land as was susceptible of easy and profitable tillage. Aiter.
examining several places in view of a suitable location for the.
building, it was agreed to make the location at Waukesha, 20
miles west of the city of Milwaukee^ and situated on the Mil*.
Ss Miss. R R, affording certain- and easy access from all parts
of the Stata^ and from, its* contiguity tO' the priaeiple cities
of the State is perhaps as central (if ndt imore so) for the par*
poaes required, as any point that could have been- seiectad.
Besponsible.citisens of Waukesha have given their bond
due the first day of January, 1859, to payferOOacraiof land
to be given to the State for the; the purpose of a location, attd •
will be ddiveved at any time>tthe buildifig is Yeady fbr oecu^*

certifying Hie land to be iree from mortgage, leiii, or jndg^
ment^' have been filed with the Secretary of State, making in
tlie aggregate for a lo<^tion oyer 70 acres. •
The land constttnting the location is an excellent piece of
productive, tillable prairie soil, well adapted to gardenings
forming and horticultural ndes, with a grove of timber in one
comer of about 8 acres, consbting of hickory, white burr and
red oak ; in the opposite cDrner is a spring . of pare limped
water, discharging a large stream ' foirming a pond. 6 rods isk

expebi&o of examining other Institntions, making pla^i), archi-
tectural drawings, enclosing- the grounds, making sewerage,
supply with water, as these and other items necessary to a
.commencement will be ample for the enlargement
The plan adopted and the contract for building were ap-
proved by the Hon. Coles Bashford, Governor, David Jones,
Secretary and Wm. R. Smith, Attorney General, of the State
of "Wisconsin.
The plan as adopted, when fully executed, will provide am-
ple convenience for over 400 delinquents, and can^ be com-
.pletely finished for $100,000.
About 1000 perch of stone have been laid in the basement
walls of one building, the walls of which are laid to the height
to receive the floor timbers of the principal story, and is ready
for the inspection of the Superintendent of the bnilding ; the
floor timbers of the principal story are all framed ready to
put on the wall, and will be so placed as soon as the work is
accepted. Over 160 coxds of stone have been hauled on the
spot for spring nse ; a considerable qoantity of cut stone for
belting, caps and sills for windows and doors, and quoind for*
towers are now on the gronnd, the window frames for the flrst,
second and third stories are nearly all complete, and if the
work shall not be embarrassed for want of itlnds one build
ing may be early completed and prepared for nse.
The grounds are to be enclosed with a tight board fence
6 1-2 feet high with oak posts set 8 feet iu the ground, and
rails 2x5 nailed to the posts with 6 inch spikes, the boards to
