Galignani's Messenger of Paris, in a recent article
on the subject, has the following In 1852 we gave
an account Of NJ. Won GumPach's work on the True
Figure of the Earth. and we will now mention a
pamphlet he has published. entitled Our Weekly
Gossip, in which We find series of pOIemical papers
addressed to those who have repudated his doctrines
with more or less reason or acrimony Our author
as We have stated former occasion. asserts that
the form OF the earth IS not compressed, but pro-
late eliisod, or in other words that it has not the
ngure Of an orange, but If q lemon. Now why, ac-
cordmg to Newton and the dominant school, has it
tnat OF an orange? tnst, because in measuring va
that the degrees are longer towards the pole than
near the equator
Secondly, because the seconds pendulum is longer
EI ING poies {ha at the equator its length being
junction OF the force Of gravity and increasing with
lG ana thirdly, because, in consequence of the earth
munaI rotation us Particles are actuated by cen
tritugal force which is zero at the equator. Now
none OF these arguments theoretically conciusive
rs TO the trSt, because probate figure is infinitely
more favorable TO an Increase Of length in a polar
degree than compressed one as any enc may see BY
merely taking the trouble Of using his compases and
uCScrlhias on the same equator, FIRST compressed

PROBATE ehpsoIdai oao As to tho SECOND 3rgument.
because if on the one hand il may be argued that
gravity increases at the poles because compressed
eltpsOld the distance from the edTth'S centre il
shorter; on the other hand it may be argued with
equal foGe that gravity locreases st the poles of
probate epsoG, because of the greater quantity Of
attractive particles accumulated there.
And lastly, 10 the third argument, il may he re-
piled that in rigid body like the earth tho effect Of
the centrifugal force must be zero, and that if it were
no', the earth would by this time have become nat
az a pancake by constant rotation The origin OF the
idea of this action Of the centrifugal force lies in the
purely gratuitOps SUpp0sitiOD that the earth was

From a friend of ours who has just returned from
trip upon the Colorado. old Caney and other
of the most important sections of the State we de-
rive the most satisfactory information respecting
the prospects for the coming crop The planters are
almost universally possessed of far higher hopes and
far brighter prospects than could possibly have been
anticipated at the outset Of the year. Nearly all the
cotton plantations in the sections visited by our
friend are in cultivation most of them with fair
supply Of labor with than ever before en-
Ployed upon them, while some were still short of
them In general, planting operations were fully as
far advanced usual at this time OF year. and the
proportion of cotton to other crops, though greater
than has been customary heretofore, was yet not
such as to threaten scarcity of grain.
IN nearly every instance the planters spoke very
tavorahly of the disposition and conduct of the ne
grOes so far. The hands generally divided into
squads, each under black foreman, and proper
tonate extent of ground is assigned to each squad
The tOremen e1 erclse a strong control over their
squads, and the hands themselves rapidly learn
ing, from the instinct of self interest the necessity
of making every laborer do his duty The portion
of the crops assigned to the hands varies from one
quarter to one-third and in some instances one-hal
