)!y tho Sangamon Journal wo have a portion
of (he promised disclosures touching the in
famous conduct of the Prophet Joseph Smith,
promised by Gen Dennett, but recently a Mor
mon liijr in office and enjoying Smith's un
bounded confidence. The disclosures show
corruption such m liafl ratcry been developed
before the days of the latter Day Saints, and if
the half Bennett states he trim, Joe Sen ifh rich
ly deserves the Penitentiary inslead of rever
ence and ebedionce from his deluded followers.
Dennett gives names freely, and calls upon ma
ny witnesses to sustain the truth of his suite
incuts. tJen. Bennett states that a band mongthc
Mormons tit Nauvoo called -the Danite Hand is
organized and'b'jund together by covenants en
tered into with uplifted hand.-, the object of
which is to assassinate any one who dares
make disclosures in relation to the conduct of
the Prophet, and to ebey his behests in all
things.
We copy Bennett's reasons Tor supposing
that the attein)t to assassinate. (Jov. Boggs of
Mo., was made by a Danite.
-Jd. '4'he Fulfilment of I'rnpheejj. In ISM,
Joe Smith predicted ir,prtdesied, ina.Kiblic
congregation in Nauvoo,ll.atl.ilburn"W. Hoggs
-ex (ioNoruor of Missouri, should die by violent
hands within one year. From cue r two
months prior to (he attempted assassination of
Governor Ifciggs, Mr. (). P. Rockwell left N'au
vou lor parts unknown to the citizens at large.
I was then on terms of close intimacy with Joe
Smith, and asked him were ltockwcll had gone!
Gone," said he, "fiO.NE TO FULFIL PKO
Pl 1KCV !" Rockwell returned to Xauvoo the
day before the report of the assassination icach
cd there, -and the Xauvoo Wasp remarked, ""it
yet rcniuins "to be known who did the noble
deed !'' Rockwell remarked to a person now
in iS'auvoo, and whose name I forbear to nicn
tioii.hr the pretcnt, from motives of prudence
and safety to the .parson, hut which shall be
liirthootnitig in dne tiino,thi:t ho had "h?en nil
over I'pper Missouri, and all nbntit where
Hoggs lives," and this was communicated to me
by that person before I withdrew from the
church, and we had considerable conversation
upon that daring act. Rockwell is a Danite.
Joe's pnhlic memory is very t readier, sis on this
subject I .presume ; but his jrU'al: inemoiy is
so good that he has a guard around hw bouse
every night, withdhc Slate camion u nil a full
supply ol small arms, for the protection of his
person against any attempted arrest, lie like
wise requested lire to write to Gov. Carl in for
his protection, which I agreed to do, and accor-.
dingly did asking Governor whether he wouhf
be protected from any illegal act of violence.
lo which the Govenor replied that ai.i. citi
zens should receive equal protection, but that he
knew of no privileged man or set of men, and
that the dignity ot the Slate should be preser
ved according to the strict letter of the consti
tution and the laws. This letter I refused to
t-uow Joe, as open hostilities had commenced
between us, and he accordingly detailed a Court
Martial to try me for treason against the citi
zens of the State of Illinois!! ThistVnirt 1
regarded as illegal, and treated it with that ut
ter contempt which such an assemblage of infr
rior officer t will always receive at my hands.
Now I call upon Colonel Francis M, lligbee to
come out and tell w hat he told (Jen. Robinson
and myself in relation to the mi udiiii of -a cer
tain prisoner in Missouri. 'n. ligbee do not
four to tell the story tell exactly how Joe hud
the murder done up, and what part he okdkukd
you tu take in the tiffaii, lut w hich you did .not
take. Tell it ns Robinson .know it, and as
you told nie, and io mt vv.kk. Gov. Reynolds
will make another demand, and Joe shall be
deliver i'd over. I will visit Missouri and tell
the dreadful story. Iet the call be hi ad e, and
the laws shall he executed.
lienuett calls Joe Smith the great Mormon
seducer, and states that he has "clandestine
wives under the new dispensation, and he has
seduced hundreds of single atid married ladies
inthe lord !" Revolting details of the Prophet's
attempt to seduce the daughter of Sidney Rig
dou, Mrs. l'ratt. wife of Professor Orson Pratt,
of the Xauvoo University, and othere, are gi
ven ; and when repulsed by his intended vic
tims, the .infamous old scoundrel proclaimed
that ihc refusal became a sin unless sucrilice
wasollercd ; and in one instance Dennett says
Smith said lo him.
GeiioTiil, if you are my friend I wish you to
procure a lamb, and have it slain, and sprinkle
the door poets and the gale with its blood, and

A wrier in the Journal of Commerce an
nounces the curious and interesting fact that
the atmosphere of the famous Mammoth Cave,
in Kentucky, has 'qualities ot the highest effi
cacy for diseased lungs. Dr. Mitchell, most of
whose family havedied of consumption, and who
was himself reduced to a hoieles8 condition by
the same disease, believing that there were re
storative properties in the air of the cave, re
solved to make it his residence for a season ; and
a hunt the first of April he established his quar
ters near the Star Chamber, about a mile from
the entrance, whence he emerged for the first
time at the close of June. Ilia health and
strength were so far restored that ho rode
eighteen miles on horseback. lie says that in
a week from the time of going into the cave his
cough was gone, and that, his appetite and
strength increased daily, lie felt lonely the
first week, but soon heenmc reconciled to his
solitude, and now would rather live in the cave
than elsewhere.
We extract the following passage from the
article in the Journal : CViwi. Adv.
My opinion of the effect of the atmosphere
offhe cave is made up from personal ohserva- j
tion. I have known the cave for twenty-nine j
years. I have been in it in all seasons of the j
year, during all kinds of weather, both day
and night During the late war large quan
tities of saltpetre were ninde at the cave and
for this I prepared the carbonated alkalies,
which are required in large proportion to pro
duce crystaliation, &c. At that time from
.'HI to 70 hands were employed in digging up
the earth, &c, which covered the bottom of
the cave, and conveying it away by oxen
to hoppers in the cave, about one mile from
its month. During the whole time there men
were engaged, which was for three or four
years, thero was not a single case of sickness
among them.
The atmosphere of the cave is dry. and the
temperature even and equal. I have never
known it to vary half a degree, through tin;
year, from (HI degrees of Farneheit, Combus
tion goes on well, lights burn clear, respira
tion is easy. The earth which had been lixivia
ted and thrown out of the hoppers, reimpreg.
nates again in als.iit three yearsyieldingfroni:!
to "(lbs. of nitrate to the bushel. Animal llesh :
will not nitrify in this atmosphere, nor will'
vegetable matter decompose. Meat hung up
in the cave a lew days becomes so strongly im
pregnated with nitre as to become unpleasant
to the ta.--te. Tire euro cobs letl by the oxen
which were fed in the cave thirty years ago, are
now in a perfect state of preservation ; the logs
fused for waffr pipes are sound and good. An
imal flesh dries in the cave,aud becomes hard.
These facts I state, that men of science may
coinmre my conclusions and my premises to
gether. At this season of the year a slruige current of
air rushes out of the mouth of the cave : inthe
winter the current changes and blows equally
strong in the cave.

we cannot imagine. The public interest, a well

Cj The editor of the Bunhury Gar.ette not
knowing how to answer oar argument in relation
to the tariff, rr soil to the dishonorable expedient of
perverting what we had (aid, and what is worse,
in order to make all thing fit pervert even hi own
statement', on which his own argument are found
ed. We will quote hi own language and let the
public judge of (ho fairness, as well as the correct
ness of bis logic,
"The Sunhtiry American of last week at
tempts to lie tpiite severe with us for remarks
we made the week previous on tho speech de
livered by the lion. John Snyder on the tariff;
In these remarks we cive, as will be recollect
ed, tho cost of manufacturing; iron at tfWl,.
IK), and the amount for which it will sell at Hal-'
timorc at i&M). In Allusion to this statement
the American says ;
Now, in the first place, the editor of the Ctrette
ought to know that Iron cannot he sold at Hal i
more, if the duty is taken ofT, at more than twenty
two dollars per ton, and that iron masleig are per
fectly satisfied ifthey ran get lliiriy dollar per ton.
They do not ask for more, and all they a?k is, that
dint the duty lie not taken oil.'
Italsosays, we 'ought to know' that Iron can
not lie sold at Baltimore, if the duty is taken off,
at more than twenty-two dollars per ton. That
is tosay, that it tri sell tor per ton it there
Is nn tiriff nl n't Vprv ivi-lt sir Tlinn if trim

the gentleman does not deny, and will sell for.
us he says, 'li dollars, we neve a profit of !I7
cents. But add to tins the duty of 2(1 per cent. J
(the present duty is more, beiii which j
nicy wish sun nigiicr; ami me prom win oe tour
dollars and ninety-seven cents, per ton."
Now the ( i7.ettedid not give "the cost of manu
facturing iron at f 2 1.0.1" but staled, a hi psper
of the 2:id till, will show, that the cost of making
wi 13,.ri3 and that the carriage to Baltimore was
?,.r0 making the cost there 21,03. We contended
I hut the cost of manufacturing pig iron at the pre
sent lime was about $20 and if a the Gazette says
it costs 7,!0 per tun carriage to Tdallim re, it could
not of course be sold at les than f 27,50 without
loss. But what i most surprising, is the con
struction of the Gazette in quoting the above par
agraph in relation lo the col of iron. Wc ssi.l
that iron could nut be sold at Baltimore at nmre
than f 22 per Ion, if the duty is taken elf. The c
ditor in his wisdom iy this mean, that iron will
ell at that price and from that proceeds to argue,
that we said it could Wdtlivtrul at Baltimore at
that price. Our argument that it could not be sold
for M'.rr than 22 w.is I ased on the fact that for
eign iron could le imported for about f 20 and even
as low as f Irt free of duly, nn.l 20 per . cut i n f 18
would only bring it up lo f21,fi0 which is nearly
i"l let than the cost of the domestic article at Bal
timore. We have no room lo say more a' pr. sent,
but if any school hoy will put on our language a
different construction, we will yield the point at
once. But a the Gazette incorrectly quote its
own editorial wc could scarcely expect it to do bet.
