Mr.. S. l.. PRUITT.

PERFECTIoNIsM AND BLooMERIsM.--There
is society of people, we learn from the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, numbering some one hun
dred and fifty persons, in the counties OF
Oneida and Madison, New York, who have
adopted a code of social morals to suit their
own notions, and rs their code differs very
widely from what society about them regards
as even decent, of course their doings are not
devoid of interest. They are represented by
the Rochester Democrat as holding every
thing in common, lands and tenements, cattle
and horses, ,cOmen and children! They are
even ahead of Mormonism, for the whole
family of one hundred and fifty persons pile
upin the same single big room. The women
wear their hair short, and their dresses short,
too, after the bloomer skirt and breeches
fashion. The prominent feature of the
"Peuection." Society is yet to be stated,
they all hold to the "scrptural propriety and
moral purity ofpromiScuouS intercourse among
the sereS ~
This is the most notable of all the modern
iSmS!

THE CUBAN PRIsoSERs,-AnOther Letter.

tains the following letter from young Pruitt,

ViGo, Spain, Jan. 10, 1852.
Dear Brother: The English steamer being
due here today from Cadiz, on her way to
Southampton, / take advantage of the OPP
portunity thus afforded to write home. |
have no news that will interest you, save
that am in good health and will embark for
New York sometime between this and the LIST
of February, and hope to be able to see you
by the LIST of April.
All the American prisoners concerned In
the invasion of Cuba, amounting to about
ninety in number, are quartered in this city,
and have been comfortably provided for by
the American Consul.
1t is almost an impossibility for one to
write when fifty or sixty persons are around
him engaged in making all kinds of noise. |
have much to tell you, but you must wait
patiently for my arrival. In the meantime,
do not be uneasy if you should not receive
any further news from me, or | should fail to
make my appearance at the time you expect,
for it is hardly probable that will write you
again, and it is impossible to make any cal
cuation as to the time it will take Il sail
vessel to cross the Atlantic.
return to my native land a dearer lover of
its soil and institutions than ever, for have
seen what | shall never wish to see again,
the heavily taxed, down-trodden, half starved
poor of Europe, Il people more to be pitied
than our slaves.
Hoping that this will find you all well,
and that ere the lapse of many months we
will meet around the old family hearth,
endeared to us all by thousand associations,
| remain your brother,
JOHN II. PRIJTTT.

ELOQUENT LETTER FROM A LADY.

NORWICH, Conn, Dec Is, 1851.
HoNoRED SIR Words cannot express the
interest with which have listened to the tale
of your country's struggles for freedom-that
greatest earthly good-nor the deep respect and
admiration that every heart alive to sympathy
with noble and heroic deeds must feel, wherever
the name of Kossuth is spoken. Words and
sympathy, however, avail but little, and by the
chance Of fate, my lot is cast where active"
exertons in n noble cause are forbidden Since
am to do no more pardon me, pray you, if
! venture to offer you for your glorious cause,
the enclosed sum (s25) That is the merest
trihc, well know still it IL all have to give,
and beseech you not to scorn IL; for, though
but q drop in the ocean, yet, if joined with
thousands of other drops it may do good ser
vice some day. And my heart will feel hap
pier, if by your acceptance you will allow me
TO believe that have done what little might
to aid another in procuring that glorious lib
erty, which, thank Heaven is my birthright
With heartfelt prayers for your countrys
speedy and final success, am, with deep re-
spect your humble servant

THE GROWTH OF BALTIMORE.

Among the many indications Of the steady
and rapid growth of Baltimore, and Of its onward
march in prosperity and wealth, that furnish
ed by the large number Of buildings annually
erected within its limits must be one Of the
most gratifying as it is one Of the most sub
stantial of those Indications The pleasing EVIL
dences of progress which subsequent years have
furnished in this respect experience no reverse
this year. The annual statement prepared by
the Appeal Tax Court shows that during the
year 1851 the number Of brick buildings erect.
ed in this city has been eighteen hundred and
fifteen, assessed mt value Of tco million three
hundred and eighteen thousand dollars. This
increase il the result of no adventurous circum-
stances, nor has it been stimulated by any
spirit OF speculation in real estate-it belongs
TO and grows out Of the steady progress Of our
city in population, wealth, and business Du-
ring the past five years we find from reference
to our files that the number Of houses annual
ly erected has been m follows: In Is47, zoos /;
in is4s, 1920 in iS4e, ,s94j in 1850 1927 I;
in 1851, 1878 total in five years, 9,462
These figures derived from reliable official
sources, exhibit continued and sustained
growth and extension Of this city, which, we
feel confident, has not been exceeded by any Of
her cOtemporaries on the Atlantic seaboard.
Its magnitude may be properly estimated by'a
calculation Of the results which ito ontinuance
will produce. The whole number Of buildings
at present erected in the city is perhaps not
er-estimated at forty thousand, 70 that the
same ratio Of increase for twenty years will
double this number. This result can hardly be
contemplated without incredibly, yet IN ex.
animation Of the data on which it is founded
will prove its entire correctness.
The largely increased value Of the buildings
which have been erected this year Is slso a

Thermometer.
n. Barome-

The cold of the morning of Monday is be-
lieyed to be without precedent in any record
ever kept at this city. At H. p. M. previous
the thermometer marked 2.5 degrees, with the
wind fresh at 8 A. M of the 18th, degrees
below zero; at 5 A. M. d degrees below, and
reached the lowest point after sunrise the OBJ
servation at o'clock being degrees below,
and at o'clock SIS degrees below zero the air
not becoming entirely calm till after daylight
The record gives therefore the true tempera-
ture of the air unaffected by radiation Had
the night been calm, and radiation unobstruct-
ed, the thermometer would have stood much
lower
