We are promiMd letter* from tbs a*me source upon tbo prison* of Penn*ylraD , ew York and, Masmchototl*,**ttlDg oat the general peculiar features of eeoh- A* the attention of the people of the Sm* ^ ^7 to our prison s/eteB, thaM latter* will hare an unireraal inter**t. By learning the prison ay»tem* of other States, their adranteget and defect*, we can better be prepared to eapplj any defect# in oar own. It will be eeen, from the feet* iteted by oar correspondent, that the management of the JefferaonfUle prison wlU compare favorably withtha Ohio loatitotlon at Colombo*, and that its location la adraatageouj on account of the compensation received for the labor of it* inmates. This fact presents a strong argument in faror of the enlargement of the present prison over the project for erecting another in a portion of the State which can furnish no hotter, If equal, Inducements to the Colnmbn* prison for the profitable employment of convict labor. POLITICAL. AND PEtftflOSAL ITEMS. Ohio roa Douglas.—A friend, who has just passed through Ohio, says the feeling throughout that State is very strong, almost universal, for

Douglas.

Rkmonation or Mr. Hindaicks.—The special Washin'.'ton dispatch to the New York Tbnen, of the 4th last., says; The President has accepted the resignation of the Hon. Tboa. A. Hendricks, Commissijoer of the Oeucral Land Office, who Is now a candidate lor the Gubernatorial nomination in Indi-

ana.

The same dispatch baa the following: Mr. Buchanan pronounces the Douglas Manifesto, as published by the Harpers, "a paper of great aWlitj.” —We see it stated that Mr. Douglas was presented by tbe Harpers with ten or fifteen thousan I copies of their Magazine containing his essay on popular sovereignty. — SioHincANT.—The administration organ at Philadelphia, the Penniylvonian, is down on Douglas’ popular sovereignty article. In tbe a ime number it advocates a protective tariff! A fit jiix'.ipositiou, but Democracy don't progress

that way.

— General Lane, in a private letter, received at Washington, says in relation to the Presidency, that he is content to place himself in the hands of his friends, and will take no step to bring himself before the people as a candi-

date.

— Wo have received a note from Washington, from a gentleman not connected with any of the Departments, srho savs he has road our paragraph about Mr. Dodge, lie assures ns that there are numerous Democrats in the public offices at WiiHhington, who are known to be warm personal and political friends of Senator Douglas; and that Mr, Dodge was not removed for being fri.mdly to Mr. Douglas. He might very well have been removed tor '’political considerations," without those considerations being his friendship for Mr. Douglas.—Dineinnafi Enquirer. —Senator Toombs made a speech at Lexington, G i., the other day, which startled the fireeaters. The Dinpatrh, one of their organs, let

off the following:

He rolled Douglas as a sweet morsel tinder his totigu.% and swallowed his squatter sovereignty heresies with as much relish as he could gulp dowiin brandy toddy. He chsricteriX“d Iverson and Bxihun and the lamented and chivalrous Qiitmiu, in the severest terms, for their course on the Kinsae question, and excoriated Hon. L. J G irtrell, because he says bo will not vote lor

Douglas.

—Nisra«ka Apflyino roa Admission as i .Statx — Fne Democratic Convention in Nebras k i Territory passed resolutions in favor of her admission into the Uuion as a State. They claim that they have a right to oome in under the L msiana treaty and the Federal Constitu-

tion. Certainly, they have.

—The New Albany ledger in alluding to tbe

next State Convention says :

According to present appearances tbe next convention will be bv far the largest ever held in Indiana. The people will bo there in strength, and we are of opinion that they will cause their voices to be heard. Our own opinion is that they will do nothing that will endanger the success of

the Democratic party.

Carroll Countv—Another Grand Rally.— J. J. Bingham, Etq.—Deer Sir: The Democratic party of this county had another grand rally tit Ruckficld, to day, almost equalling num-

bers the Prince William rally.

An extra train left this place at nine o'clock, upon which was the celebrated brass band of this place, with many citizens from this section of the county. Upon arriving at the little hamlet of Rock field, we discovered a very large crowd of

people.

In a abort time the Camden and Strlngtown delegation came in preceded by martial ousic. A procession was then formed, and marched to the stand, about one fourth of smile distant. Dr. Jumea H Stewart was appointed Prealdent of the day, and upon taking the Chair, addressed the multitude upon the impoitance of voting an un

acr itched tick t.

B B. Daily, Esq., and Hon . Nathaniel Black were called up and aaoh made azoellentspeeches. Dinner being announced in a neighboring grove, all repaired to the table, and partook of an excellent repast, gotten up by the Deaocrats of Rock Creek Township, who bad roasted an ox

for the occasion

After dinner Charles E. Bulger, a young farmer of the county, was called up, who made one of the very beet speeches of the season. The Hon. Graham N. Pitch, one of tbe United States Senators, baring arrived, was called op, amidst the enthaslaalle sbeute of the mnl'itude, and for more than an hour, poured such a raking fire at the craxy bull of Blask Republicanism, that the rotten concern seesaed ready to sink.

taken out for every number of the magazine, end to notify tbe New York presa that they wore not then at liberty to copy tbe eesey In extenso. Hence the notice to the Herald, alluded to

above.

This notice did not apply except iu New York and the immediate vicinity, for tbe reaeon that tbe magaxine Is sent to distant sections before it Is published In New York sad Boston. Tbe subscribers to Harper had tbe essay before it could reach them from any other source- "Having done oorduty tooursubeeribers," the note under notice says, "we ar# glad to have the article brought to their notice in any other way; and to have it circulated among those who do not see the magazine." The note expresses satisfaction on the part of the Meevs. Harper that we copied the essay, as w* did, and when we did, and they with •’this note to be considered a fall and absolute authorization of that publication." Having secared their own priority in publication, they now Intend to remove tbe restriction whenever it

The Messrs. Harper have therefore gain their

And Senator Douglas has gained the otgect for which he chose to avail himself of their circulation—viz: bringing it before the greatest possible number of readers in a form which ensures Its careful perusal and candid con-

sideration. ---<>--- Mr. Greeley on Mormon Polygamy. Mr. Greeley writes from Salt Lake City: I do not believe the plural-wife system can

long endure; yet, almost every man with whom I converse on the subject seems intensely, fanati-

that the rotten concern seemed ready to si Dr. Fitch has few canals as a public debater,! on this occasion made one ef tbe most able i

faces as Elder Taylor, at a social gathering on Saturday night, was expatiating humorously on this feature of the Mormon system, to the great trary, I thought they seemed generally to wish the subject had been passed over in silence. Fanaticism, and a belief that we are God's especial, exclusive favorites, will carry most of us a great way; but the natural instinct in every woman's breast must teach her that to be some man's third or fourth wife is to be no wife at all. ladies,” was the quiet, matter-of course answer. Of course, no woman spoke publicly—I believe none ever speaks in a Mormon assemblage—and I shall not ask any one her private opinion of Polygamy; but I think I can read an unfavorable

one on many faces.

Yet Polygamy is one main pillar of the Mormon Church. He who has two or more wives rarely apostatizes, as he could hardly remain here in safety and comfort as an apostate and dare not take his wives elsewhere. I have heard of but a single instance in which a man with three wives renounced Mormonism and left for California, where he experienced no difficulty; "for, said my informant, (a woman,) "he introduced his two

in the course of six weeks."

I am assured by Gentiles that there is a large business done here in <un>marrying as well as marrying; some of them assure me that the

Church exacts a fee of $10 on the marriage of

each wife after the first, but charges a still heavier fee for divorcing. I do not know that this is true, and I suspect my informants were no wiser in the premises than I am. But it certainly looks to me as though a rich dignitary in the Church has a freer and fuller range for the selection of his sixth or eighth wife than a poor young man of ordinary standing has for choosing his first. And I infer that the more sharp sighted young men will

not always be content with this.

Since the foregoing was written, I have enjoyed opportunities for visiting Mormons, and studying Mormonism, in the homes of its votaries, and of discussing with them what the outside world regards as its distinguishing feature in the freedom of friendly social intercourse. In one instance, a veteran apostle of the faith having first introduced to me a worthy matron of fifty five or sixty—the wife of his youth, and the mother of his grown up sons—as Mrs. T., soon after introduced a young and winning lady perhaps twenty-five summers, in these words: "Here is another Mrs. T." This lady is a recent emigrant from our State, of more than average powers of mind and graces of person, who came here

with her brother as a convert, a little over a year

ago, and has been the sixth wife of Mr. T. since a few weeks after her arrival. (The intermediate four wives of Elder T. live on a farm or farms some miles distant.) The manner of the husband was perfectly unconstrained and off hand throughout; but I could not well be mistaken in my conviction that both ladies failed to conceal dissatisfaction with their position in the eyes of the visitor, and of the world. They seemed to feel that it needed vindication. Their manner toward each other was most cordial and sisterly —sincerely so, I doubt not—but this is by no means the rule. A Gentile friend, whose duties require him to travel widely over the Territory, informs me that he has repeatedlv stopped with a Bishop, some hundred miles south of this, whose

two wives he has never known to address each

other, or evince the slightest cordiality during

the hours he has spent in their society.

The Bishop’s house consists of two rooms; and when my informant staid there with a Gentile friend, the Bishop being absent, one wife slept in the same apartment with him rather than in that occupied by her double. I presume that an extreme case, but the spirit which impels it is not unusual. I met this evening a large party of young people, consisting in nearly equal numbers of husbands and wives, but no husband was attended by more than one wife, and no gentleman admitted or implied, in our repeated and anima-

any argument in favor of polygamy. That many

women acquiesce in it as an ordinance of God, and have been drilled into a mechanical assent to the logic by which it is upheld, I believe; but that there is not a woman in Utah who does not in her heart wish that God had not ordained it, I am confident. And quite a number of the young men treat it in conversation as a temporary or experimental arrangement, which is to be sustained

or put aside as experience shall demonstrate its

utility or mischief. One old Mormon farmer, with whom I discussed the matter privately, admitted that it was impossible for a poor working man to have a well ordered, well-

governed household, where his children had two

or more living mothers, occupying the same ordinary dwelling. On the whole, I conclude that polygamy, as it was a graft on the original stock of Mormonism, will be outlived by the root— that there will be a new revelation, ere many years, whereby the Saints will be admonished to love and cherish the wives they already have, but not to marry any more beyond the natural assign-

ment of one wife to each husband.

I regret that I have found time and opportunity to visit but one of the nineteen Common Schools

in this city. This was thinly attended by children nearly all quite young, and of the most ru-

dimentary attainments. Their phrenological developments were in the average bad: I say this with freedom, since I have stated that those of the adults, as I noted them in the Tabernacle,

were good. But I am told that idiotic or mal-

formed children are very rare, if not unknown, here. The male Saints emphasise [sic] the fact that

on the part of the mother over that of the father

I shall not attempt to describe anything but the various prison* that I may visit, and matSrVxilnation of the Ohio SMto Prison The prim U situated in the north-west corner of tine city, about half a mile from the State house, on the book of the Scioto river- It was located here In 1831, and addition* have, frwm time to time, been made to it Tbohffioers ere now engaged in enlarging it. Tbewall Is being extended, and when completed, wttl contain fifteen acrea of ground. The wall is built of stone, and is twenty-three feet high- All foe other buildings are constructed of bnek. There are now in confinement eight bun dred and twenty-six convicts, of which number we females. Tbe officers are: DirectocTwarden, Deputy Warden, Clerk, Moral Instructor, Physician, Matron, Assistant Matron, and Guaida. There are, ordinarily, forty guards, bnt there are fifty-two now, as a number of convieti are at work on the wall. The contract system prevails here as it does In Indiana. The average price of the convicts per dae la ooly forty-jive cento, while the lowest coo tract In oor 8ute la/ifly cent*. This Is accounted for la the fact that the contractors have to depend •olelv upon railroad transportation. The prison does notpay expenses, but is a constant drain upon the treasury of the Stote. The only pun iabment Inflicted here is confinement in the dark hole and bread and water diet. The Legls toture abolished tbo "cat" twd the whip has not been need for two years. Tbe Legislature very wiselv offered the convict* great inducement* to behave well- The Warden is required to keep a ■trict and an accurate account of the conduct of etci prisoner, and if his conduct bss been good there Is deducted four days in each month irom his term of service, but he mav forfeit this by subsequent bad conduct. Tbe Warden informed us that this waa a moat powerful incentive to good behavior, and had produced the most happy result*. It bad accomplished what the severest Duniahment had failed to do. A bill similar to ibis passed the Senate of onr State at the last aeniooTbut it unfortunately failed in the House, more for want of attention than from opposition to the measure, and I have no doubt but It will be passed by the next Legislature Two years ago the State purchased one thousand acres of land near Lancaster, which was de sicned and is now used as a bouse of refuge for juvenile offenders. None are admitted oyer sixteen years of sge. There are now fifty boys at work in it. If a boy under sixteen rears of age is sent to tbe prison, he may be transferred to the State farm upon the recommendation of tbe warden, bat be is liable in case of bad conduct to be sent back. This is what we need in our StateSo important was it regarded, that our Constitution requires our Legislature to establiih houses of refuge, bnt provision baa not yet been made to carry out this wise and humane requirement. There are already seven hundred cells in the prison here, yet more than a hundred conric-s are compelled to sleep on cots in tho chapel. The Directors are, however, actively eng iged in build ine a new cell house. They are also building a new cell bouse for tbe females, separate and apart from the other buildings. It is 37 by 59 feet, three stories high, and *ill contoin 5° cells, kitchen, dining, work, and school rooms. There ha a large yard attached to it. A MaJ™, with ttke »h«g. of lb. f. males. They are taught reading, writing, and all the elementary branches of education. The; are required to do a certain amount of work eac day, and afterthey have performed their task they are allowed for extra wotk. The female convicts are neat, orderly, cheerful, and I might almost rsv, happy. They are permitted to attend service in t .e chapel on Sunday, which has a very good effect upon the men. The matron exerciaes over them a most happy Influence. Proper attention is paid to tbe reformation of their raoials and religious training. .... , There are eeventyfite vtgroee in thie prison. There Is a fire engine inside the prison wail. Thirty five negroes compose the fire company; they practice every Saturday evening; have be come very skilHuf, and are very proud of this distinction over their white brethren. The cnapel will seat one thousand persons. The pri oners all attend service on Sunday. Tbe hospital is large, clean and well ventilated. Tbe health Is, and has been, remarkably good all this seaaon. , . The kitchen and dining room are clean and well arranged. The prisoners eat together in one large room. There is a steward who baa charge of this department, assisted by convicts. Within the prison walls are five large steam engines and an immense quantity of machintry. Nearly every thing is done by machinery. I shall not attempt to describe tbe shops and tbe various kinds of work done in them, but I will say that they are well worthy of a careful examination. The cell houses are kept in very good order, though not well ventilated. . „ j Tbe center yard is large and well arranged; in it there are several large and beautiful shade trees. The ground is laid off in walks and grass plots. I saw fifteen deer playing -aside the wall, very tome and fond of attention. The yard in front of the Warden’s residence, which is in the main prison building, is very finely arranged and beautifully decorated with flowers. The prisoners are not permitted to converse with each other, and this rule is pretty strictly enforced, although they work close together. ’ We obtained a very fine view of Columbus and its surroundings, from the guard house, on top of the main building. The State bouse, which is by far, tha finestin the West, was in full view, commanding attention by its beautiful and stately proportions. Columbus u a beautiful city, blessed with wide, clean street* and good WAttr. The business bouses end residences will not favorbly compare with those of Indianapolis, which by the way are not surpassed in the Wert. There is very little building or improving here this season. I observed more of that in your city than I have any where elae. I can not close this already too long letter without saying that we were cordially received, and moat kindly and attentively treated by L. G. Van Slyke, the Warden. He seem* to be a very thorough and practical business mao, poaaeaveu of great energy and decision of character, but united with great suavity of manner.

J. J. Bing haw, E*q —Dear Sir: As many conflicting reports hare been going the rounds in regard to this gold-bearing country, emanating most'y from persons who have bnt little experience in mining, and I might almost say none whatever in commercial pursuits, and are totally in cepablu of judging what natural facilities tbe country afforded the emigrant to sustain himself and stock during the winter season, from tbe fact that they left the country the same month, and in many instances the same day they entered it, I feel it a doty to giro the inquiring and enterprising nublic the true state ot things here- I have taken great care, in a business way, to get correct information; and having been in commercial porsnits from my youth, I presume I have looked for the signs of tbe times in the same channels, sod formed ideas and drawn conclusions in keeping with those of the bumness man. I have spent considerable time in Denver and Auroria with the merchants and shop keepers in general, and for the last eight days, ail my time, and find at tbe present time gold dust to be the common currency among them. Go where you will, into the store, hotel, or saloon, and you see the transactions of the day, (and they are not •mall,) carried on through tbe agency of gold dost I have been in tbe mines, talked with many of the miners both in Denver and in the mines, and they generally say they are doing well, some have not been lucky or Industrious, and getting short of means and a little chagrined at the success of others, are somewhat disposed to be cross; find fault with mankind in general, and in vague and ambiguous terms pronounce the Peak a humbug as an excuse for their ill success

or indolence.

diggings on tbe bead waters of tbe South Platte, at the Base of Long and Pike’s Peak, also, on the Cache a la Ponare, a creek coming ont from the mountain* 100 miles below Auroria and Denver. So reliable are the men who discovered these mines, that five hundred waggons and three or four times as many persons passed through Auroria from the old diggings on their way to the new in the last week, and still the tide rolls high. Many of the miners clothes and other necessaries sre now giving ont, conseqnently the mites of dost they bare dropped, and still are dropping, in this emigration through Auroria and Denver is enormous. Tho stranger and the most unbelieving who come here now ere carried entirely away with the tide of excitement; all agree now with one accord, that untold millions are hid away here in the bowels of mother earth. Many of the valuable grasses are indiginous here in the third and fourth mountain ranges, such as timothy, red top, white and red clover, &c. There ia also a kind of grass on the plains, (similar to red top,) in which nature, in its peculiar bounty to the brute, has really puzzled the understanding of man. This grass, during this month, cures itaelf standing into good hay, and is very nutririous. There were about fifty persons wintered here last winter, and their stock wintered upon this kind of hay and came out well in the spring. There are many basin-like bottoms or sinks all along tbe Platte, and the various creeks coming into the Platte, that produces very rank and fine meadow grass. It differs in appearance from any prairie grass that I am acquainted witc, and makes far better bay than tbe common prairie grass of Indiana or Illinois. The Platte is celebrated lor its numerous low and flat islands,all ot which produce abundantly this kind of grass. This grass resembles some the common timothy, except the top or end ot the stem, which has no rounded head, ba‘< is pointed like the rush. Captain A. C. Hunt, of Freeport, Ulincis, has two hay claims, one seven milea below Denver, the other thirteen. They are in the above described bottoms on the Platte River. He has cut seventy five tuns, hauled and stacked it at his stable in Auroria, and will cut seventy-five more, making one hundred and fifty tuns. His claims consist of one hundred and sixty acrea each, bave examined this hay in connection with several good judges, and all pronounce it nearly, it not equal, to timothy. Captain Parkinscn, a well known Missourian, has cut two hundred tuns of tbe same kind of hay between Hunt’s seven mile claim and Den ver. There has been very little rain here this season. Yesterday I walked through Captain Parkinson’s extensive gardens, and saw cucumbers, beets, melons, pquashes, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, Ac., equal in growth and luxuriance to anything I ever saw in the States. This garden is one mile below Denver, in oue of those basin bottoms, and, like all the rest, naturally irrigated, let the season be what it may, bv the Platte River. The Pineries in the mountains, twenty miles from Auroria and Denver, are extensive and snfficient for tbe requirements of a large commercial commnnity. Auroria and Denver are situated at the confluence of Cherry Creek and Platte River—Denver on the east and Auroria on tbe west side of Cherry Creek. Tbe mines that are now opened extend one hundred miles north, and about the same south of these points, thus making them the commercial center. When I came to this country I left the Mis souri at Wyandott City, tbe first town in Kansas Territory coming np the Missouri River, and from experience I would advise my friends, as well as the stranger, to leave the Missouri at Wyandott. Tbe levee is large enough for three hundred emigrants to camp on and put their wagons together preparatory for a start. Goods of all kinds can be purchased equally, if not cheaper than at any other point on the Missouri River. All emigrants should remember that Kansas City is in Missouri, three miles below the Kansas line. The road leading out from Wyandott ia equal to that of any other point. '» The levee at Wyandott is larger than that of St. Louis, consequently the emigrant who comes with teams has ample room on the wharf to camp and fit out withont the great tronble of going one or two miles back ot town to arrange all his little matters on a start across the plains, which he would have to do at most any other point. The man who comes oat here by express would, of course, leave the Missouri at Leaven-

worth.

Tbe country is now so far developed that 1 am of the opinion that the man who comes here with means, or a good strong iron-will, can hardly fail to make money. There are great opportunities here for the capitalist. All emigrants coming out in tbe spring, will find the Panta Fe, or old Arkansas Road, as some call it, tbe best ronte on account of water, and especially gram, which is three or four weeks earlier than on the Fort Kearney mate. The Smoky Hill or Middle route, is fraught with all kinda of danger, and no sane man will travel over ft. Yours, truly, WM. M. PIERSON.
