THE CRAWFORDSVILLE GUARDS. The organization of this fine company of v- Infantry is now fully perfected. The following is a list of the officers: Captain,

Lew Wallace 1st Lieutenant, William C. Vance 2d Lieutenant, Carr Wilson 3d Lieutenant, Ja9. B. Crawford Ensign, C. II. Bowen. The Company have adopted the regular United States uniform, with the exception that the material will be finer and more costly. ..Messrs. Hannah fe Cassell have taken the contract to furnish the entire uniforms, and will have them completed by the 15th of next month. A splendid stand of arms numbering some sixty muskets have been received and are now at the armory of the Company. The first drill took place on last Tuesday night nnd will be continued every three nights in the week. From the spirit manifested by the members of the Company to acquire a thorough knowledge of military tactics, we have no doubt but they will acquit themselves with the highest credit on the occasion of their first dress parade. In order to defray incidental expenses and fit up the armory, grand military ball is contemplated. Tlte Company intend holding a military encampment in the fall.

Ji3T The Abolition Convention, on last Saturday, proved a complete fizzle, there not being ten persons present from the country. Among the clap-traps resorted too to get a crowd, was hiring the Crawfordsville Brass Bind to play in front of the Court House, and the presenting of an African flacr to a resident of Ripley township. Fii-hcr Doherty and James Wilson have been trying to get rid of this symbol of Ethiopia for the last six* months and no doubt feel greatly relieved now that thev have succeeded. The Nigger parly is sinking lower and lower, and in a few months there will be nono so poor to do it reverence. Alrts! poor Cuffy.

NIGGER-WORSHIP IN MILWAOKIE.—At the rccent el -ction in Milwaukee the "Republicans" and Know-Nothings ran Jesse Epps, a "big buck-nigger," for Mayor. He received their entire vote*—one hundred and fifty-thr«e, all told. "1

ED. REVIEW: I went into the Court House, last Saturday, ahd found a number of l&publicknsj(a8 they style themselves) assembled, iftnd engaged in the silly business of presenting a Flag to Ripley township, for what reason I did not learn. Ow old friend, Johnny Beard, as usual, occupicd a prominent position amoHg them.— Jfcmes Wilson made a few remarks, which were not well heard. Col. Lane was then called for, and came forward, evidently, embarrassed he made some very proper remarks about the evils of intemperance and slavery, after which he spoke of dissensions in their ranks, and that they were charged with being Black Republicans, fcc. To the latter he replied, that he thought it better to be (hat than no-Republicans, and I thought there was some force in the conclusion, but wa3 surprised that he did not claim a higher standing for his party.— He next told us, that he was no abolitionist, and appeared from his mnnner, to believe what he said, but I must say, that he is in 9 very fair way to become one if he continues to advocate and vote for their principles. We were next told by the Col. that the repeal of the Missouri Compromise was a very wicked act, and gave as a reason, that it opened a gap through which slavery might get into Kansas, a thing about as likely to occur, as the fulfilment of the lady's, imaginary dream, about the burning of her child, should she ever have one the story is the Col'f. own, and will be recollected. Now the Col. knows that slave holders seldom move, and that eight-

And ever more beside him on his way, The unseen Christ shall move,

That he may lean npou his arm and say, "Dost thou, dear Lord, approve

Beside him at his marriage feast shall bo, To make the secne more fair ,..

Beside him iu the dark Getlisor.iflne

Of pain and midnight prayer.

O holy trust! 0 endless sense of rest, Like the beloved ouhn,

tenths of the voters who go to new countries, as well from slave as free States, are opposed to slavery, and that when that question is presented, they will most cer

tainly vote it out. The Col. wants the Missouri Compromise re-instated, and I would like he had told us for what purpose surely not for the restriction of slavery, for if I know anything about that Compromise slavery was allowed in certain localities.— But further, suppose Congress in these Republican times, should in their superior wisdom come to the conclusion that the people of Kansas do not understand their own interest, and refuse to admit them with slavery, will the Col. contend that after their admission, they cannot turn round if a majority should wish to do 60, and amend their Constitution, and so have the matter their own way at last.

On the subject of Know NothingUm, and prohibition, the Col. certainly—caved.— The amount of his talk was, that he favored a wholesome temperance law, and a residence of five years for foreigners before being allowed to vote. %.

I have the highest regard for Col. Lane, as a gentleman, and have some knowledge

of his former teachings on the subject of slavery, which I shall leave for his partvV

to reconcile with his present position.

A BEAUTIFUL IIVJXX. The following beautiful hymn was written by Longfellow, and sung at the ordination of Mr. Frothingham as Pastor of the Unitarian Society a* Portland, Maine. !,

to set up and maintain upon the green sod of Kansas the altar of Liberty, red with no sacrifices, but garnished round with golden grain, he.nped up with the ripened fruits of free hands, and hallowed with, the songs of peace.

THEATRICAL

We are-happy to chronicle such a marked erent in our drarrffttic annals 'na the opening of the Green Street Theatre—situated near Mr. Pursel's cigar shop—under the au«piees of Iff. R. A. Adams as lessee and sole proprietor.

Mr. Adams has1recently returned, froia quite an extensive tour through Yountsville, Bristle Ridge, Jimtown and several other metropolitan cities, in each of which he has culled—regardless of expense—the most celebrated stars in the profession, conspicuous among whom is that universal favorite and accomplished gentleman, Mr. B!erce, late of Yankee Robinson's "big show also, Mr. Bryan,, late of Theatre Royal Ladoga. We have not as yet a personal acquaintance with the ladies of this talented company, and of course feel rather delicate about criticising them too closely at present but we cannot forbear saying that three prettier ladies than the elder Miss Maddem's are seldom to be seen, and it is certainly worth the price of the ticket to gain one glance from the mild blue eyes of Miss Amelia.

The performance on Wednesday evening opened with the Grand Overture to the Caliph di Bagdat.

The Orchestra under the direction and leadership of Mr. Maddern, was very efficient. The gentleman who played the Bazzoon started a little out of time but soon recovered himself and sustained his Sole with ability during the remainder of the evening.

The overture completed, the curtain rose and discovered to the expectant audience the immense stage with its gorgeous scenery, splendidly illuminated by six tallow candles, which a supernumerary had snuffed during the rendering of the overture.

The first performance was "A Kiss in the Dark," in which "Miss Lizzie," Yankee Bierce and Mr. Bryan sustained the principal characters. Yankee Bierco performed his part with such marked ability that he never failed when he chose to improvise one well-timed superlative, to bring down the house. Miss Lizzie made an admirable Mrs. Pcttibone, and we certainly envied the young friend who was permitted to bestow the "kis( in the dirk." The farce concluded, the Orchestra performed Mendelsshon's grand Symphony in C. Minor. This performance was not quite as well done as the overture, owing, doubtless, to the prcpondercnce of the stringed instruments over the Reed.

Next appeared Miss Amelia in a Song, which was vociferously tipplauded. We have already remarked that Miss Amelia is a lady of rare personal charms, and it is enough for us to say that her talents as a vocalist are fully equal to her bi/auty.

The Sax Horn trio was creditably performed, but we do not consider the ability of ladies to play such decidedly masculine instruments as adding to their accomplishments. The Duett by the Mademoiselles Amelia and Lizzie was very much admired nnd loudly encored. The Bold Soger Boy with Drum accompaniment, by little Miss Emma, was a novel performance and very well done. She will at no distant day,

without doubt, be able to sustain the difficult role of Maria in the Daughter of the Regiment.

The Red, White and Blue, by Miss Lizzie, was admirably well done, and received as it richly deserved, the repeated encores of an appreciating audience. The Hornpipe was a gem of itself. Mif$ L. sustained the character of the Sailor Boy to perfection, going through all. the motions of heaviug the anchor, hauling taut the main brace, and slushing down the mast with a grace and ease which many an old Salt might envy. She certainly makes the prettiest sailor we have seen in many a day, and we doubt not that many of h.er auditors would willingly ship with heron a voyage of matrimony.

The less wc say about the performance of Yankee Bierce, in Yankee Courtship, the better. The Green Street Theatre, with a select audience, "is not the place for any such clownish antics. Suffice it to say that he murdered Dr. Valentine and disgusted his audience in the closing scene. We hope Yankee Courtship or its equivalent will not again be included in the performances at the Green Street Theatre.

The fancy dance, by Miss Lizzie was certainly the climax of the evenings performance. Words can convey no idea of the masterly manner in which she threw about her lower extremities, or the inimitable grace of her postures. The audience became wild with excitement, many gentlemen rising to their feet, instinctively cast their hats upon the stage. Some apparantly lost to everything save the grace and ^beauty of the performer, gazed with a fixed but vacant stare on the fair Dansuese, while others shouted with paroxysms of delight.

Our friend, Mr. J. A. Gilkey, who occupied a front seat in one of the parquette boxes seemed perfcctl}* transported with delight. .//He was very fortunate in possessing a powerful opera glass, which he has since nformed us he used with marked success.

As the Dansuese was about making her bow to the vast and tumultuous assembly of admirers, Mr. Gilkey rose to his feet, and with a low bow to the fair Debutante, tossed to her feet a magnificent boquet to which was appended an envelope containing a copy of his valedictory address.delivcred before his infant school at Alamo/:—-Vs-V.

We understand, that after the performance, Mr. G., generously invited the. whole dramatic corps to partake of a sumptuous repast of pea-nuts and spruce beer, which, with characteristic liberality he had ordered at the magnificent saloon of our distinguished caterer, Charley Uarliungs

but owing to the fatiguing nature of the

perfoirinanceithe iifriUtiSn was most respectfully declined. ]:•. We await with great anxiety the announcement of the programmes for the next evening's performance.

iJS^-'We are glad to see the name of T. B. WARD on the ticket nominated by the democracy of Lafayette. He is the candidate for City C^erk. Whether this office, in the Star City, be especially profitable we do not know, but we do happen to know that T. B. Ward is a young man of much more than ordinary talent, and a sound democrat. For some four years he was a student in Wabash College, and his efforts before the public were all characterized by brilliant thought, and a practicalness more than is usually exhibited by under-gradu-ates. He also stood high in the estimation of the Faculty, as a scholar. He graduated at Miami University, receiving the highest honors of his class. We trust "Tom" will be elected by "an overwhelming majority."

The aforesaid rifles brought from 812 to S16 a piece—a fact which shows that the Kansas rifle market is glutted. A Sharpe's rifle costs, at the manufactory, in the East, 825 so that on those sold at Independence, there was a clear loss of £9 to 813."

THE

PROSPECT OF PEACE. The St. Peferebargb correspondence of the Paris Constitutioned, writing on the 11th of March, says: "The Emperor and Empress appear to well satisfied with the progress of affairs.— A courier arrived this morning from Count Orloff, the bearer, it is said, of very favora^, ble accounts from Paris and during the reception the Empress was so cheerful' and animated as to excite the notice of the persons invited and the Emperor conversed with different groups, to whom he declared that peace appeared to him to be more and more certain, and that he could now occupy himself with important works at home and with useful modifications in his Empire. To one of the groups, composed of members of the corps diplomatique, theEmperor'said, 'The war has only been an accident, or rather a misunderstanding. It will not have changed, in any way the good personal relations between the Russian and theFrench whobavesomeremarkable points of resemblence. They have certainly fought too long, but it has always been with courtesy and humanity. The Russian prisoners have been treated by the French, not as enemies, but as brothers and I have been anxious that proper treatment should be shown to the prisoners whom the fortune of war has thrown into our hands. When peace shall have been signed—and everything leads me to believe that it is about to be so—France and Russia may hold out the hand to each other—may esteem and love each other as in the past for although the struggle has been carried on in all honor and without hatred.' The Emperor Alexander also spoke in the most affectionate manner of Napoleon III and did full justice to the acts of his Government, and to his love of peace, which, he added, 'isassincero as ray own.'"

"The Russians, most of them, set out on a long and toilsome journey over the Steppes, towards Moscow. But the Officers are proud of tlu ir successful defence, and the Men happy in approaching Freedom, for every Surf is emancipated, who has fought the battles of the Cs'.r.

He asked no questions of the witnesses, and took no notes, but when' the evidence was through, he rose and delivered one of the most beautiful arguments ever heard. The testimony which appeared as clear as noon day, he pulled all to pieces lie made discord of harmony—nonsense of sense—discrepancy of the most exact agreement—and when he touched upon the old man's unjust sufferings, he even drew fears. Without leaving their seats the jury declared the prisoner "Not. Guilty!" The weeping man with clasped hands leaned forward* seeming to invoke a blessing upon the head of his defender. "Let him out, constable," said Mr. Bartlett, "and now, you old rascal, go about your business, and never let me catch you passing counterfeit money again." The jury started in wonder —and we left the court house laughingyet sorrowful.

A FEMALE I Pi MALE ATTIRE. I A girl in male attire has been arrested at Rochester, New York.

Subsequently, however, she confessed to the magistrate that she was disguised, and said that her true name was Catherine Waters, and that, she was the identical person who was arrested in Philadelphia and Baltimore, and made notorious by the news-, papers. She is a fine-looking girl, not over twenty years of age, lively, witty, and disposed to be frolicsome. She wears black pantaloops a steel-mixed frock coat, light Kossuth hat with a broad band, no vest or suspenders, and has the flountinj* air of a dashing voting man. Her hair is

The remainder, now in his possession, are estimated at 15,000.

The cousequenco was that the sword ran into the stout timbers nearly a foot deep, and was broken off. Tho fish departed, no doubt, a sadder and wiser animal.

"Well, Indian," asked the white man, "what do you think all this means?" "Gieat Spirit, whisky too much," replied the Indiaa?/"'
