From the London Cor. Of the Crusader
The American Bishops In Rome,

Within ST. Peters confess that the ceremony
tof the Immaculate Conception,) was, as 1t would
have been called in some New York daily paper,
imposing" but without, the procession presented
more the appearance of poor masquerade than
the assenblage ofthc rich prelates Of the church.
With the exception of the Italian bishops, almost
all those from foreign countries were compelled TO
hire carriages and servants In few hours they
inprovised in Rome new liveries, jockies dressed
in the most strange and ridiculous costumes coach
cs bearing newly painted coats-ofarms Of some
nitred barbarian and the ghetto Of the jews was
ransacked to dress up and to give some dignifed
showing TO the suite Of His Holiness. Among the
dilapidated bishops who looked more like pilgrims
than prelates, am sorry to say were those from
the United States. They looked very sorrowful,
in being driven In such an humble condition, side
by side, with carriages worth several thousands Of
dollars, and which must have remembered TO them
the style of oriental luxury. Your Archbishop
.Iohn, and the one Of Baltimore, were provided
with decent coach by their fellow friend and
companion Getano Bcdini, but unfortunately, not
one of the American prelatcs has been made a
cardinal, nor was there assigned to them any con-
spicuous place in the procession
AN INCIDENT.
During the ceremony being within st. Peters, /
witnessed a curious occurrence between n Papal
major and French officer. Major Casciani father
of that famous young Cascani who denounced to
the Papal police several of his political fiiends)
having ordered his soldiers to kneel down, per-
ceived that French officer was standing. Casci-
ami commanded him genom a terrc, but the foreign
officer remained immovablc. This irritated the Pa
pal centurion to such pitch that he drew his
sword in the temple of the Goddess Of Heaven,
and was going to assail the French officer, when
Col. Gugliemi nterfered in time to prevent col
lison ] learned afterward that this officer is a
Protestant, and when the ceremony Of the Immac-
ulate Conception was over he asked the Papal ma
ior with what right he ordered him to kneel before
the holy waferf 81 am commanded by my sou
ereign," answered the Papal major. well " re-
piled the stern Huguenot, tell your sovereign
that the French have no orders to receive from
him, we being his protectors, and that, for myself
kneel only to God"

PRINTING PRESSES, PULPITs AND PErrIcoArs -
These are three great levers that govern the
world. Without them the bottom would fall out,
and society would become chaos again. The
press makes patriotic, the pulpit religious, but
women sway all things. There would be no going
to church If there were no girls there, neither
would there be any going to war were the soldiers
10 meet with no applause but from the mascnlines.
Without the sunshine shed by women, the rose OF
affection would never grow, nor the flowers of elo-
quence germinate In short, she is the engine Of
life the great motive power Of love, valor, and civ
zaiion In proof Of this, truth in all history speaks
trumpet.tongued. ...

February 81, 1855.
DEAR Sin: We are progressing with remarkable
rapidity in this portion Of the Old Dominion. All
attempts to check progress are not only futile,
but actually end in benefit to the order. The
members of the councils are laboring with zeal
worthy Of their cause. The efforts of the Enqui-
rer, and the Trays, Blanches and Sweethearts Of
the newspaper press, advocating the claims Of
Henry A. Wise, to identify our party with the IA
natcs Of the North, are regarded as simply ridic-
ulous, and only worthy Of tho desperate, sources
from which they emanate. We are accustomed
to such charges in Virginia. Shareholders, ma
tiyes of Virginia, have been denounced by these
same men as abotfonists, while Martin Van Blu
rem, and others Of that ilk, have been urged upon
our support, as par excellence, Northern men
with southern feelings"
Your treatment Of the election of Wilson has
pleased every one. You have shown that our aim
is to establish great national anti-sectiondi
party, which shall put stop to the agitation Of
the slavery question; which shall ignore IT, This
is consummation devoutly to be wished" The
cism, North and South, and it is this very fact
which is attracting thousands to our banner in the
South
A word in regard to another subject. We are
pleased to hear that effort is to be made by the
American party to complete the Monument to
Washington. suppose some systematic plan of
contributions viii be recommended by the mana
gers to the order throughout the country. In the
meanwhile, allow me to suggest that, at the coming
elections in Connecticut, Virginia, &c, and all flu
ture elections, the various councils appoint com
mttoes, who shall place contribution box at each
voting place, to receive contributions. Ny word
for it If this course is taken, large collections will
be made, for the councils will undertake the mat
ter with proper spirit, and we know that what
they undertake to do, they do wsu. What think
you Of the plan'
