Admission for Lady and Gentleman 75 cents—Single Gentleman 50 cents. JESSE D. BRIGHT.

Upon the death of Mr. King, who, ex officio, was President of the U. S. Senate, Mr. Atchison of Missouri, was pro tempore elected to that post, only second in honor to the Presidency of the Union. For some reason, Mr. Atchison resigned, and, in conaequenoe, anew eleotion bccamc neccssary.

Many leading presses have expressed the profoundest astonishment, that this election should have resulted in the deration of the Hon. Jesse D. Bright, of Indiana. Thoy cannot understand it and, as usual, give escapement to their bitterness by affecting to see in it the denouement of a deep conspiracy, designed to humble the President.

In our opinion, there is much less stratagy and treason in politics than most people imagine. Most of the results attributed to design are only the results of accident.— Before any one man, or any sot of men, can absolutely fashion things, absolute power is required. Nicholas or Napoleon can do it in their respective dominions they are Absolute but neither an English Premier nor American President can opposition always meets them face to face. The same difficulty is in the way of a U. S. Senator.— Of all bodies on earth, our Senate is the last to which conspiracy will come if, perchance, it should, however, the Conscript Fathers were not more intractable for the purposes of tyranny, than our Senators will prove for the aims of both traitors and tricksters. In the plot at one time engendered against the Father of his country, during the progress of the Revolution, not one member of the Continental Congress was engaged. Burr went everywhere for partners and tools but to the Capitol. As it was then, it is now and God grant it may ever be!

As we understand it, there is but one way to rise in the Sonate, and that is much as a man honorably rises among the people. There must be integrity to inspire confidence honor to elevate beyond the reach of doubt firmness superior to menaces of danger personal or political and noble qualities of soul and mind, without which leadership is impossible. Above all, however, there must be patriotism and principle pure as that which the people carry in their own steadfast hearts. Thus Jackson and Clay arose and so their successors must come.— Jesse D. Bright is of the same class of men their race is run and their fame full his is but beginning that is the only difference. To those who know him, his elevation is no matter of astonishment nor will they suspicion that he won it by conspiracy with us, they will believe it came to him as the reward of spotless integrity, superior political attainments, and unfaltering energy, in which last quality Thomas H. Benton is his only peer ia the West. If any man doubts us. he need only look to his majority we give the vote in fuil the figures are his complete exoneration.

Mr Bright is no* enjoying his second. $ea«Aoaal term. He is one of the youngest men in tlie Senate. He has not only a durable reputation at home in Indiana, but a nationtl onr. The attentions paid him inhitreecnt visit to Virginia art proofs of

the respect yielded him throughout the Union. Ia our last bitter contest, he took the stump, and his speeches were in the highest degree masterly and Senatorial.— Ail who heard him felt they were listening to a rising man, before whom lay along and splendid career. None such are astonished that he should be found thus early upon the round next to the top, his hand on the very highest.

"And is he gone

Z9* On last Tuesday morning, an English mountebank arrived in our town, bearing a letter of introduction to one T. Walker Fry, a citizen of this place. Large, luminous posters, said to have been printed at the Bagpillion office [we are sure no other office could have done such work,) were soon seen upon the walls and fences, informing the astonished and amazed natives, that le pettit Ole Bull, rival of Ole Bull, would give a grand concert at the Court House that evening. During the day, the mountebank paraded our streets, arm in arm with the august and dignified Bughum Bagpills, who had taken it upon himself to give character and respectability to the affair. That he performed his task more effectually than newspaper puffs and flaming hand-bills, is evident, for at noon there was considerable excitement among that class of the community whom Bughum terms "the canaille of Crawfordsville." A New York Peter Funk would have acknowledged himself beat, could he have seen Bughum in his work of drumming up recruits. The performance that night was sparsley patronized, the elite not having attended. The mountebank growled at the meager receipts, and attibuted his ill success to a want of refined taste, which he said "could only be found among the haristocracy of Hold Hingland." Bugham assured him that the next night he should have a bumper, that he had a plan on foot which if carried into execution would be certain to win. So on Wednesday, Bughum put the mountebank through in good earnest he received scores of invitations, principally among the fashionable and religious, and during the day was ushered into the Female Seminary, where he shone conspicuously as an English Lion, on which occasion Bughum made a very happy speech, a report of which we understand will shortly appear in the columns of the Bagpillion, provided the same does not interfere with sundry forthcoming essays on Shanghais, Cochin Chinas and agriculture in general. The Lion made an impression, captivating the heart of many a fair one, by his exquisite descriptions of concerts given in the presence of crowned heads, at which he bore the palm as the king of song, and to whose presence all did homage. He related amusing anecdotes of celebrated Prima Donnas whom he performed with at the Royal Opera at Madrid and. Venice. He passed a panegyric upon the theatrical profession and showmen in general. He triumphed—for that night he had a crowded house, with but few dead-heads, excepting Bughum, and what few crept in at the windows. At the conclusion of the performance, Bughum arose to his feet, and with that dignified look which frightens little boys into silence and makes older ones laugh, he proposed that a vote be taken, whether the mountebank should show another night or not. The ayes and nays were called, which resulted in the ayes wining. Bughum is said to have voted twice, excusing himself on the ground that there were several foreigners and catholics in the room. The last performance was well attended, and the mountebank no doubt felt highly pleased, as he looked over the audience, composed chiefly of the religious elite of the suburbs of the town, who at the solicitation of Bughum had patronized to the amount of 23cts each. The Court House was brilliantly illuminated with tallow candles, whose glare as it shone upon the jewelry (Purcel's best) of the occupants of the front seats, presented a dazzling appearance. Bughum was the observed of all observers, and during the evening, according to arrangements he requested the mountebank to play Casta-di-Diva from Norma, which was pronunced by several snobs as being "dem foin!"— The performance concluded with a speech from the mountebank, in which he thanked the audience for their gullibility and greenness.

The infamous mountebank, far being worthy of countenance in any christian community, wherever he goes is deserving of nothing b*Mer than an airrng upon a fence rail or ablution in a canal. With a tyranny common to Englishmen and Cockncys generally, who pronounce horse, 'orse, his treatment of little Nick Goodall, whose performances were reaHy excellent, are inhumanly brutal. Since his departnre, whenever Bughum has occasion to say heaves he abbreviates it, Cockney-like, to 'eaven. Hereafter when any showman or organ-grinder wishes to^fte introduced into good society in Crawfordsville, he has only to ay asaallf.e for a letter of introduction to the gullible and silly editor of

the Bagpillion sheet. Had the imposter been an Irishman or a German, he would have received no assistance or favor but being a low-bred Englishman, with a love of all that is British so common to politicians of Bugham's stripe, be found a ready welcome into his New School-heart.

FRANKLIN'S BIRTH DAY. A movement is on foot to celebrate mis occasion in a becoming style by the printers of Crawfordsville. There will be a grand supper accompanied by toasts and speeches. For one we say, good. There is no reason why such an opportunity should be let slip. The combined forces of the Journal, Locomotive and Re*ew can do it admirably.— We suggest meeting for the purpose of making arrangements, in the office of the Lo comotive, on Wednesday evening next.— What say you, neighbors?

jfcgr In a recent number of the Bagpillion sheet, we notice that Bughum takes, all the little boys in town to task for rowdyism. We don't wish to defend them for their misconduct, but would respectfully suggest to the medico-Pharasee that in future he set them a better example, and before he becomes a teacher in good morals, avoid all riots himself, and especially throwin"" brick bats at drunken men in the streets.

HON. JESSE D. BRIGHT.

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania, one of the ablest and truest Democratic papers in the Union, speaking of the election of Senator Bright to the Presidency of the Senate, says: He received twenty-four votes, against five cast for three other candidates. This was virtually a unanimous vote of his party, and it must be grateful to his feelings, is only a just recognition of the faithful and devoted manner in which he has sustained the principles of that party to which he is firmly attached, and which has derived so much advantage from his great abilities. The public career of Mr. Bright should excite in the minds of the intelligent youth of our country, the greatest emulation. By the power of his intellect, the force of his industry, and by his honorable and manly bearing, he has reached the highest dignity in the Nation, next to President and Vice President and that, too, before he has arrived in years at the zenith of manhood. His history is pleasing to contemplate. With a commanding figure, and fine address, he could scarcely fail to be attractive, but when the nobleness of his nature is understood, and the genius which revels in his eye is mauifested, few can escape the witchery of his society. Nature often delights in making noblemen, that she may contnist them with the creatures decorated with stars and ribbons, in order to render the workmanship of Princes ludicrous, and convince men that "rank is but the guinea's stamp."

Mr. Bright was sought early in life by the Democracy of Indiana, to represent them in the Legislature. In that position, he acquitted himself with honor, and so satisfied were his constituency with his course and his abilities, that they speedily elevated him to a seat in our National Halls.

A man of his mental acquirements and fine personal appearance could not play a secondary part in our national affairs hence he was soon called to important duties in the House, all of which he discharged with the utmost satisfaction, and received for his diligence and statemanlike qualities the loftiest ecomiums. Indiana desired his services at home, and determined to elect him Lieutenant Governor of that State, which she did by a very large majority.— Finding that she had a worthy citizen, in whom there was no guile, she resolved to place him in a position where his great talents and honorable character would find a suitable fornm for their display, and he was elected to the United States Senate—the most dignified body under heaven's canopy —because it exemplifies the sovereignty of the States, as well as the will of the people. He is now the chief officer of that august body, with a bright future beckoning him forward.

POLYGAMY IN UTAH.

We copy the following from a letter, dated City of Salt Lake, July 29, 1854. We commend it to every one who has the least curiosity respecting the patriarchal institution:— "When I came to Deseret there were not many who were in the enjoyment of more than one wife, and many, or most of the new-comers, were opposed to it. But as they saw how beautifully and harmoniously those families lived where there were two or more wives, their prejudices gradually gave way, and among no class was this change more apparent than the women.— At the present time, if a vote were taken upon the subject, I venture to say thatnine out of every ten women who have lived here two years, would sustain our present social system in this particular. They are more for it than the men, for upon many of the latter it entails heavy burdens though the truth is, our wives in Deseret make no pretentions to being fine ladies, their highest ambition being to help their husbands, and their poor brothers and sisters in the Lord's Church. There are very few men here who have more than five wives, and a large part have but one, while some have none. For myself, I have three. Sarah Ann, your cousin, whom I married in York State, has the largest share of my affections, and takes precedence in the management of the househould. Two years ago I married Miss S., formerly of Ohio, and she has the charge of the education of the children and attending to the clothing. My other, which I took three months ago, is.from near Hamburg, Germany. She is larger than either Sarah Ann or Elizabeth, (the name of my second wife,) and, I say without invidiousness or impropriety, is decidedly handsome. Her person is of good size, very round full chest, bright flaxen hair, and a soft blue eye. She enters into the duties of her new situation with wonderful alacrity, and is very happy, as are also Sarah Ann and Elizabeth. There is none of *hat jealousy— that disposition to tear out each others hair —which you have probably imagined would show itself in such cases. We are all looking forward to the time when we shall be together constantly in our little Eden, where we can work for each other, and raise our children in "the fear and admonition of the Lord." You may be surprised at this but you will be still more so, when I assure you that all of my present wives are anxious that I should get another —one who is fitted by education, and physically adapted, to take charge of the business of the dairy. With such an arrangement of my household, every department of a well organized establishment, on a patriarchal scale, would have ahead to it, and be governed in order. I have no inclination to comply on my own account, as I am well satisfied with those I now have, but if I should do so, it will be entirely out of regard for them.

My daughter, Louisa, is engaged to be married to a man from Pennsylvania, who has already a wife and three children. It did not entirely meet my approbation, but I did not interpose a single objection, so long as she was satisfied, and the marriage would be in a high degree honorable to her, as well as advantageous in a worldly view.

Now, my dear sir, you say, what is to come of all this? Let me tell you what has come of it. In Deseret, there are no libertines, with their paramours, no houses of prostitution, no cases of seduction, or those which.disturb the peace of families in the States, under your laws. Here, every woman can have what God intended she should —a husband—and every man that wants to, may have a wife. And the woman that is the wife of a man who has one or more other wives, is more fortunate than if she were the only one, for in case of plurality the duties of the bouse are divided. The children here are pretty numerous, I must admit, but this should and does contribute to the happiness of the true followers of the Lord, from whom we have learned that our duty is to multiply and replenish. But, mark this: there are no illegitimate children in Deseret, no children of shame who are ashamed of their mothers, and a disgrace to any but the lowest society.

3 ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. Loss of a part of the allied fleet by a storm— JVb further fighting.

NEW YORK, Dcc 13.

The Pacific has arrived with one week's later dates from Europe. Nothing important from the seat of War. No battles have been fought sincejthat of Inkerman.

The allies were being reinforced. In England matters were in a crisis and Parliament would probably be summoned for the purpose of imposing new taxes.

Much agitation exists in England and France in consequence of the situation of the allied armies.

Flour was declining early in the week, but holders remained firm. Western Canal closed at 42s@42sd. Yellow Corn 43s6d@44s, mixed 43. White Wheat lls8d@12s6d. Red 10sd@l ls8d. Consuls 91^.

Since the battle of Inkerman of the 5th neither party has been in a condition to resume hostilities.

The reported battle of the 12th is false. The utmost activity is manifested in France and England in sending reinforcements, as the existence of the Allied army depends entirely upon it. Several thousands hid arrived.

Austria, Persia and German diplomatists are active. The Niagara sailed from Liverpool on the 25th with the 4th regiment and part of the 8th. The next will go by the Sarah Sands of the 5th. It will be necessary to raise 30,000 at least to improve the position of the allies.

Hussian re-inforcements are also augmenting and it will be necessary to fight another great battle or series of battles before the fate of Sebastopol is decided.

England and France are assuming a higher tone than heretofore, and have notified the Germanic empires- that the western powers no longer recognize the four points

as a basis of negotiation, but they intend to hold the Crimea for their own time and dictate their own terms of peace.

News from other parts of Europe are devoid of interest. The allied Generals hare demanded an explanation of Menschikoff respecting the order said to have been issued by him, to give no quarter.

The Russian major who gave the order to kill the wounded, has been taken and hanged.

The London Times of the 25th, publishes the following" brief announcement from Constantinople, dated the 16th: "On the 13th She Russians attacked the French lines but were repulsed. The loss was great on both sides."

The Russians have received reinforcements and there is no doubt of the truth of the statement.

Menschikoff informs the Emperor that the damage done by the fire of the allies is speedily repaired, and that the garrison is in good condition.

The allies continue to fortify their right flank. The London Times says: "We have received advices from Odessa, but nothing new from the Crimea. On the 18th the intelligence is telegraphed that General Magnus' division of 6,000, together with 2,300 French have left Constatinople for the Crimea. 10,000 Turks and 6,000 Egyptians had also taken their departure."

The reinforcements sent from France and England, on hearing of the battle of the 5th were anxious to arrive.

A terrible storm had occurred on the night of the 14th and Minarets of the Mosque of Sultan Achmetat Constantinople were blown down, 12 transports of the allies were wrecked and their crews fell into the hands of the enemy. Two steamers and a screw frigate were driven ashore but got off. It continued stormy until the 24th. It is stated also, that the allies lost twenty five transports and ships of war and that a three decker went down in a storm on the 7th. The Admiral and 13 men were lost..

Napoleon's letter to the troops in the Crimea says, "a powerful diversion is to be made in Bessarabia."

It is rumored that two French divisions will be added to the army on the Danube. It is difficult to see how Omer Pascha is to carry on effective operations and yet send 50,000 of his best troops to the Crimea.

General Sclioedereffer is advancing with his army towards Bessarabia to support Prince Gortehakoff. The Russian com-mander-in-chief feels it necessary to watch the position which Omer Pacha has taken even though he cannot prosecute a winter campaign.

The blockade of Odessa has been renewed and the Russians are fortifying it by sea and land. It is not thought the Allies will divide their forces at present.

Sulliman Pacha who commanded the Turks in the Crimea has been degraded to the rank of a common soldier for the bad behavior of his troops on the 5th.

The Czar's two sons Michael and Nicholas have returned to Kircheneff. It has been announced in Wallacliia that the free exportation of corn will be permitted from the Danubian Principalities next spring.

Six hundred of the wounded from Inkerman are under the care of Miss Nightingale and her nurses and in the hospital of Scutaci. Surgeons are now more abundant and the sick are well cared for.

Count Orloff, who is in the confidence of the Czar, is on a tour through Switzerland. Mahommet Pascha, Turkish ex Minister of Marine, is banished.

It was reported at Kiel on the faith of a telegraphic despatch, that on the 19th or 20th, a portion of the Russian fleet left Helsinffors, and captured two British cruisers the Gulf of Finland.

The departure of the British fleet has been postponed till the."th of December. Navigation in the Gulf of Finland was still open, and tfyere was very little ice to Cronstadt. The fleet was in Kiel Bay.

VIENNA, NOV. 14—It is now positively affirmed that Austria has accepted with some slight modifications the proposition in the Prussian note of the 15th.

A day or two since, Bavaria announced her acquiescence in the policy of Austria on the Oriental question, and promised her support in the German diet. It this be correct the position of Austria can hardly be that of the Western Powers.

On the 19th and 20th, Ministers Westmoreland and Bourgenay had interviews with Count Boul, for the purpose of communicating to the Austrian government that the four powers no longer exist as a basis.

LIVERPOOL MARKET,—Liverpool Nov. 23 —demand for beef more active. Stock lower than for several years. The first new will come to good market. Pork in fair demand. Bacon, one shilling lower. Lard declined to-day Is. Sales are difficult at 2s. Tallow 64s@G4s6d. Richardson Co. quotes Western Canal Flour 40s@41s Red and mixed Wheat 21s@12s.

LATER BY TELEGRAPH FROM THE EAST. CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. 20.—Two English transports which left here on the 14th, the 'Prince' and'Sea Nymph' founded with all on board.

Three mail steamers have been stranded. The 'Sampson' was driven ashore on fire.— The 'Brittania' has five feet of water in her hold. The 'Agamemon' was stranded but got afloat. The Sampson's machinery was damaged but the remnants wefe Saved by throwing the guns overboard. The 'Terrible'has also escaped. The 'Henry' and the 'Platte' are lost.

ODESSA, Nov. 22—Three ships of the line and eighteen transports were greatly damaged on the 14th.

BERLIN, NOV. 28—"The Russian answer to the Prussian note, expressed the willingness of the Emperor tp treat on the following terms: '1st, a common guaranty on the part of the five powers of the right of the christrian subjects of the Port without distinction as to confession. 2d, a protectorate of the Principalities to be exercised by the frve powers in the treaties now existing between Russia and tha Porte. 3d. a re-

John G. Lockhart, son-in-lawof Sir Walter Scott, died on the 24th at Abbotsford. Tha Russian loss at Inkerman was 15,000 in killed and wounded.

TROUBLE AMONG THE NEW YORK KJSOW NOTHINGS.—The Grand Know Nothing Council of New York met about the middle of last month, and after compelling every member to say under oath how he voted air the late election, and on his refusing to so* say, refusing to allow him a seat in the council, adopted another resolution directing the subordinate councils to expel every member who failed to vote for URman,Scroggs, & Co. By the following froxnr New York paper it will be seen that some~ of the members of the order are not very, well pleased with the tyrannical edict of ther Grand Council:

At a general meeting of the members of the Order, of the city of Brooklyn, held at the corner of Court and Sacket streets, on. Friday evening, Nov. 24, 18.4, for the purpose of considering the late action of the Grand Council, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted, and it was resolved that the same be printed, and a copy thereof forwarded to each Council in this State:

Whereas, Tho action of the Grand Council of the State of New York, and their lata session in October last, in making an independent nomination for State officers, without instructions to that effect from the Subordinate Councils, of the State, and without giving them an opportunity to participate in the selection of such candidates, and when no necessity existed for such a course, inasmuch as GOOD MEN and TRUE had already been nominated by the great political parties of the State, tho nomination of some of-whom was effected by the direct action of this Order, was a departure from the true interests and objects of this Order, an unwarrantable assumption of power, and in direct violation of resolutions adopted by the same Grand Council in June last.

And Whereas, The said Grand Council adopted resolutions presented by Chauncejr Shaffer, putting an unwarrantable, and expost facto construction upon the obligations of the members of this Order, thereby endeavoring to coerce and compcl them by THREATS and PENALTIES to vote for the candidates so nominated by said Grand Council, in direct violation of the Constitution and laws of the land, and subversive of the genius and spirit of our republican institutions.

And Whereas, The said Grand Council, at their recent session, adopted a resolution originally suggested by H. A. T. Grandbury, requiring the members of this Order, under certain pains and penalties, to CONFESS, under oath, how they voted of tho rights and privileges secured to, and so highly prized by, every true American. Therefore,

Resolved, That we repudiate and condemn the afore-mentioned action of the Grand Council as ANTI-AMERICAN, and the most UNWARRANTAIJLE, ABOMINABLE, and DANGEROUS ASSUMPTION of DESPOTIC POWER ever attempted in this republic in its CONFESSIONAL, PENANCE, and threats of EXCOMMUNICATION only equaled by the holy INQUISITION of SPAIN, and only worthy of imitation by the GRAND COUNCIL of CARDINALS at ROME.

Resolved, That an American assenting or yielding obedience to such degrading or inquisitorial requisitions, inherits not the spirit of his revolutionary sires, and is unworthy the name of a son of '76, and descends to the level of an ignorant Papist.

Resolved, That we recommend our brethren to pause and calmy reflect, before they aid in centralizing so dangerous a power ia the hands of a body, who, however pure they may be, may at some future time, be composed of unprincipled men, who regardless of the public interests, will wield it for their own personal aggrandizement.

C. J. SHEPARD, President.

W. B. HEATON, Secretary. Everything here stated is true to the letter but the fault lies in the organization it* self. The Grand Council of New York nodoubt administered the law as they found it in the Constitution of the Order. It is impossible that any free and independent American citizen, who has a mind and a will of his own, can long submit to the tyrannical edicts of a secret band of conspirators.
