BEAUTIES OF BIACKwELL's IsIAND.---An ac-
count Of visit to Blackwell's Island appears
elsewhere which will repay perusal. In the first
place IL is gratifying to see that the work OF
reform is going on vigorously at the Peniten-
tiary Hospital, under the superintendent Of
DR.. Sanger, the Resident Physician, and the
committee of the Board of Ten Governors 1t
is to be hoped that no negligence or spirit Of
conservatism will be allowed to interfere with
the progress of a revolution which deserves the
encouragement of every authority.
Other matters, less pleasing to think Of are
noticed in the article to which we refer. One
of these is the law which constitutes the Hos
pital on the island exclusively Penitentiary
Hospital, whereby that class of females for
whose use it was chiefly intended, and by whom
it is chiefly tenanted, cannot obtain admission
until they are committed to prison for some
misdemeanor by magistrate. The effect OF
this law is most mischicvous, as can readily be
understood. II leads the women to identify
misfortune with villany, to draw no distinc-
ton between disease and crime. II forces
young and perhaps only partially corrupted
females into the society of the most deprayed
Of their sex. 1t destroys the terror of the
law" which is after all the only real safe
guard Of society, and teaches the poor creatures
to steal by accustoming them to the penalty
for theft. In fine; il makes mockery of the

A MORMON ELECTROMAGNETIC LAW OF
PLANETARY ROTATION DISCOVERED BY PROFESS
soR ORsoN PRATT--We have received a slip
of two printed columns of mathematical esti
mates and figures, entitled 1.-The Law Of Pla-
notary Rotation, discovered by Professor Orson
Pratt" addressed "to the Editor" In this
proclamation, in the course Of very learned
introduction, Professor Pratt says
Firmly believing from my early youth, that the diur
nal periods of the planets the results Of some hidden
law, have endeavored at different times to discover
the same TO determine the periods If rotation by
calculation instead of observation After fruitess
researches in regard the original of planetary
motion led by the indications of certain hypothesis
to seek for the law of rotation connected with the
and diameters Of the planets or, in other words with
their densies. These Investigations resulted ia the de-
velope ment Of the following beautiful law
The CUBE ROOTS THE DESslTIEs OF THE PLANES ARE
rs THE SQUARE ROOTS OF THEIR PERIODS or ROTATION
Or, which amounts to the thing-THE SQUARES OF
CUBE ROOTS DESslT1Es THE PLANES ARE AS
THEIR PERIODS OF ROTATION.
But the dcnsitie Of globes proportional to their
quantities OF matter divided by their volumes
by the cubes of their dameters II follows that the
rotation Of the planets considered Spheres is proper
onal to their ma and diamcers The law, therefore
may he expressed in terms Of the and dameers
as follows
TIE SQUARES MASSES or TIE
rIAsE1s DIVIDED SQUARES THEIR DiAMr1TRs, ARE
THEIR PERIODS or ROTATION.
To illustrate the correctness Of this law, will give the
following examples
Example j. Giving the mass Of the earth equal to L;
It's equatorial diameter 1a25.5 miles, its period Of rota
tion 9Th. 5en. s.09o4T5s. solar time which is
equal to absolute sidereai day. also the Of the
Planet Mercury equal TO Os2769I and its diameter 3140
miles; 1t is required TO find the period of Mercury's
rotation.

MISERY MAKES STRANGE BEDFEILows.--The
black republican gathering at the Tabernacle
last Tuesday night was funny affair. On
the same platform we had the socialist philoso-
piers of the Tribune, the conservative old To-
gey wings of Castle Garden, the anti-bank, an
ti-tarif, multiplication democrat, General
Nye, and the Massachusetts Clay wing, Ge-
neral Wilson-Pierce men, Scott men, Taylor
men, Van Buren, men, and Garrison
men-all fusing on the general plat
form for negro emancipation and the
State spoils. These Brigadiers are queer fell
lows. Only a few weeks ago we reported a
speech made 10y General Nye to the Cochrane
Soft Shell Club; now we find him giving $50
norous john terrible dressing. A short time
since, General Wilson was the exponent Of the
Know Nothings in Massachusetts,, who thrust
greatness upon him by sending him to the Sc
nate. Now he reviles all secret political So
cieties, and labors to kick over the ladder by
which he climbed to glory.

The Professor gives half dozen other ex-
amples in illustration of his theory, and sup
ports it by very plausible mathematical ar
gument We call the attention of Professor
Maury, of the National Observatory, and all
other experienced astronomers, to the subject.
Professor Orson Pratt is Mormon-a Mormon
elder-a Mormon apostle, and has, we under
stand. as many wives as an Egyptian Pacha ;
but if there be anything new or valuable in
this planetary theory of his it is none the less
valuable on that account.

THAT ESPECIAL DEspATCH'' AGAIN.--The small
hard shell Dickinson organ in this city is very
much annoyed because the Southern journals
have copied what it calls our "false telc-
graphic despatch from Elmira, stating that the
democrats and Know Nothings were about to
unite in this State" The editor Of the small
organ should study the English language. Our
despatch from Elmra was not "false," in any
particular. 1t merely stated that negotiations
had taken place, having for their ultimate OBJ
ject the defeat of the black republicans by the
abandonment of a part of the hard ticket. That
portion Of the hards who think more of men
and national conventions than Of principles,
are naturally amazed at this, and particularly
SO because it is the pure unadulterated truth
We are willing to furnish political intelligence
for all the organs, great and small, but we can
not expect to make it suit all palates. The
Southern journals need not take the trouble to
contradict that despatch.

no longer entitled to any courtesy from Southern

almost universally approved. Whether It Ia the be-

conrtesies heretofore existing between the States o.

cious; and, whether or not Alabama may be RICH
In adopting such a course, il is evident the primary
cause rests alone with Massachusetts,.
Yesterday, the day Of the Governors inaugura

day here. His Exceilency was escorted to the CAPT
tol by procession Of the military and citizens. TIL
inaugural was delivered before both branches Of til

His Excellency is very popular ~ his reelection

show. He il decided States rights democrat, I'M
wavering in any position which he conccives to be
correct, and altogether the type Of Southern gen
tleman lie has thus far vetoed oil the acts Of the
Legislature authorizing the oaning of State funds
to railroad corporations, for which he receives much
praise. The Legislature adjourned to-day, TO meet
again ON the seventh Of January 1856, in order 10
allow the members an opportunity TO spend the
