married, shall, during the life of the former
husband or wife, marry another person, in
any Territory of the United States, or Other
place, ercept in the Distrect of Columbia

shall, on conviction thereof, pay fine no
exceeding five hundred dollars, and be i'm

If the bill passes, Brigham Young and hi

The Crops-Wheat auGg Fruit.

The GAINESVILLE belmont county, IateAi.
gencer is informed by competent judges that
the peach buds in that vicinity are perfectly
sound. The same psper believes there will
be pretty good crop of wheat in that region
unless more ills belall it. The late ruins
will help it.
The Monroe Spiri! says the papers in
most of the neighborng counties say that
the prospect for good crop of wheat is fiat.
tering. We are sorry to soy the farmers of
this county tell very different story. They
all agree in saying that the hard freezing of
last winter has materially injured the crop,
and that half crop is as much as can rea'
sonably be expected.
The editor of the Somerset (Md.) Union
has been shown a specimen of wheat %
inches in height, grown on,the farm of DR..
w. Taylor, near Quantico. 1t is said to be
fair sample from field of sixty bushels
seeding. G. Anderson, of the same county,
has some which average seventeen inches in
height. The wheat crop of the county,
however, as general thing, is said to be
very backward.
The Z1nesvile Courier, in speaking Of
the crop, says: "ln cur own county, we
know that in many parts Of it the wheet WIGS
"looking we'll" before the late and very
heavy rains. But since Monday last, thou
sands of acres along the Muskngum and
Licking valleys, have been so entirely Gov.
cred with water as TO very much affect the
farmers iuterest. On the high lands, the
newly plowed ground has been damaged by
washing, and the oat crop has been largely
injured. In regard to fruit we have taken
some pains to make inquiry, and are satisfied
that at this time there is suficiency of the
peach buds alive to give an abundant crop
If not injured hereafter. No other kinds C
fruit are feared now"

Asa English View Of t.LC EnlpcnGE
ing Crisis.

An English editor enlightens his readers
upon the subject of American affairs in the
following strain:
The boast(ul Republic 50 much vnunted
by vainglorious Yankees seems on the brink
of precipicc, from which retreat will be
disgrace and advance destruction. The
very wisest Of American tatesmen-Bennet
the Smith brothers, Aaron Barr and others
are wrangling in the House of Parliament
in the Columbia District over little volume
called the "Impending Crisis" written by
an Octoroon named Heller, in which the
author proves that, unless the State of New
| Orleans agree to abolish negro slavery, the
North will supply them with no more shoe.
, pegs, and utter financial ruin will be the
consequence. The members of Parliment
who quarrel over this singular book betray
all of the American characteristics in theil
savage abuse of each other, and sometimes
they even come to blows. The Hon. Charlie
Summer, one of their number, was re-
Gently fred upon by a man named Hooks
and just before the Asia sailed it was repor
ted that member named Asking was detec
ted in the act of throwing away heavy ri
fle, which he had previously managed to car
ry in pocket made expressly for it.
"Though we have no particular faith in
the stability of what the Americans call
their republican institutions, we are sor'
ry to see out cousins working their own ru.
in with the edge-sword OF political incompa'
tiblity. As free.born Englishmen, we are
bound to sympathize with the so.callec
"obolitonists" of the Northern States oI
Georgia, Nashville, Hurper's Virginia, etc,
in their efforts to free the negroes from
bondage. Some of the greatest men now
living in America are blacks-the famous
James Brown was negro, therefore the
G overnor Of Harper's Ferry hung him.
Horace Greeley, the famous journalist, is {
negro; their great sensation precher, Henry
Wood Beecher, is said to be quadroon.-
Yet despite such evidence of the African
natural equality with the whites in intellec
as we'll as in everything else. the Southern
members of Parliament, led on by Mr.
Sippi, are threatening to dissolve the Amer
icaD Union if they are not allowed to holt
slaves in New York."

Gloomy Condition Of Iowa.

No State in the Union has suffered as
much as Iowa from the effects of over-tra-
ding in real estate-and all reports from
there represent the pecuniary condition OF
the people as gloomy one indeed. A cor.
respondent of the Lexington Observer cOu.
tons Ills friends from tracing for real estate
any where in Iowa. He says he has just
sold land for one dollar per acre, and took
his pay in trade at that, for which he paid
ten dollars in 1867. He proceeds:
"No man living out of this State can have
any thing like correct idea of the utter
hopeIessness of the state OF things in Iowo
Speculation has been the ruin OF the State
The river towns are so fiat that they car
never get up again until there is an entire
change in the population. Towns them
selves are so hopeessly in debt That they
can never get a start again unless by payinl
OF Indebtedness by reputation. This place
which contained population in 1857 O
eighteen thousand, is now reduced to )es,
than ten thousand and people leaving jus
as fast as they can get money to get ava,
upon. The place is in debt one million an,
a quarter and she, as we'll as Dubuque e
al. along the river, are now talking OF repu
dating So don't buy lands in Iowa If yo
con avoid it. 1t will make you go muc
poorer" .. a..-
This may be set down as an overdraw
picture; but the truth cannot be gainsaye
that speculation in real estate in Iowa is
| an end for years TO come. .". saaG

Affairs I'm Mexico.

The latest dates from the city Of Mexico
describe affairs there in terrible state. In.
trigues, guerilla parties, &C., &C., form the
staple points o: the intelligence. In Vera
Cruz the destruction caused by the nhuman
and barbarous bombardment OF Miramon is
truly lamentable, and hundreds of poor per.
sons are deprived OF their homes. Instead
of throwing his shells along the lines OF the
forts among the troops, ne threw them right
into the heart of the city, and but for the
temporary moving of families, there would
have been terrible destruction of life. As
it was, fortunately, the losses were small.
They fell, however, mostly on the defence.
less women and children and a few men,
1t appears that the losses among the troops
in Killed we're seven, and thirty wounded,
while among the citizens there were ten
killed and about thirty wounded. The lat.
ter were mostly women and children. On
the other side it is computed that Miramon
lost over a hundred in killed. II is said that
some ninety dead bodies have already been
found. He had also some three hundred
wounded. 1t appears that Miramon retired
from the camp on the 20th instant, disguised
with the mode of warfare, and gave the com.
mand to Robles, requesting him to return
with his forces. Robles, however, being
left in sole command, exerted himself new.
ertheless, and increased the firing of shells
to such an extent that at times three shells
were in the air, and the round shot unconnt.
able. Six thousand regular troops, led by a
young scamp of twenty eight years, and di.
rected by an upstart General who owes his
whole existence to Vera Cruz, could not
conquer three thousand volunteers whose
daily labors made them unaccustomed to the
use of arms. Thirty nine houses are in ru.
ins. The Diligence Hotel received six
shells. The United States Consulate is de.
molshed, flag and flagstaff shot down. Par.
ticular oim was also taken to reach the Sa.
ratoga and Savannah in port, the shells ex-
ploding not fifteen yards from the Savannah.

During the firing Of salute, by the Pow.
haitian, a serious accident happened to Com.
modore Cunningham Of our Navy, who was
standing on the dock in range Of the gun.
The first gun from the Powhattun was
fred in shore, and portion of the cartridge
struck the Commodore on the left shoulder,
the conclusion knocking him down, while
his face was severely burnt. The right eye
was closed and sweled, and profuse bleed
ing ensued. He was Immediately carried t.
his residence, and medical aid summoned
The full extent Of bis injuries was no
known, but it is feared that, as the face Il
burnt, the accident will result in the entIr,
loss of his eyesight, the Commodore having
had the misfortune to lose the use Of tht
other eye many years since.

In ether words the Republican House Of
Representatives intend, in every case of O
contested election, to award the seats to the
Opposition claimants without any regard tc
the justice of the matter. In several Of tn,
cases above named the right of the Demo
cratic contestants is clear and almost iudis
puted. The contemplated outrage will d
the Republicans no good at the comm

rather to be desired by the Democrats.

A Ceremony in Japan.

They have Pope, it seems, in Japan, who
resides in the city of Mako, which is forbid.
den ground to all foreigners. This Mix ado,
or sovereign pontiff, is an object of alteration,
not only to the japanese, but to all Bhud-
dsts, and even to the followers of Confucius.
Although monog0my is the ordinary law of
the Empire the Mikado is privileged to have
and to hold no less than one hundred wives,
one Of whom, the Ohohime, becomes at once
his spouse and his mother. The ceremony
OF selecting this duplicate character occur.
red recently at the above named holy city,
amid great pomp and ceremony, in which oil
the high priests and astrologers OF the coun-
try participated. The streets leading TO the
palace were strewn with flowers, white dra-
perry was suspended from the dwellings, and
men and women Of every grade surrounded
the numerous temples. Soon the high
priest appeared in his rich vestments, follow
ed by more than three thousand friars and
deans, who served as his escort, and pro.
ceeded to the palace. At noon the curtain
wes drawn and brilliant scene was pre-
sentcd. In the centre OF circular enc los
ure throne was erected, composed of wide
spreading sheets Of gold, adorned with innu.
| ulCl aUlt PlcCiOuS elUueSS WHlle noe silver
gauze formed canopy above it. The Mi.
kado was seated on "a mat upon the floor
dressed in long white gown, with golden
mitre on his head. Opposite to him were
eighty eight women, clothed in oil imagin.
able colors, whle twelve young girls were
ranged around the enclosure, wearing white
robes and crowns Of flowers. Suddenly the
noise of gongs spread dismay among the
throng. The pontiff rose and went few
PAGES from the throne, whereupon the reti.
nue. of officials presented themselves before
him. A second gong beating caused the as.
sembly to PROSTATE themselves before him
whilst he implored the protection of the gods
for Japan. At the third sounding of the
gong he, in turn, knelt, when the Hgt
Priest Of Dauniozine spread veil over him
Then, to the sound OF music, he made the
circuit of the enclosure, and stepping before
one of the girls, he covered her face with
this veil, took her by the hand, and conduct.
ed her to the centre of the throne, to be for.
ever hid from eyes profane. She was i'm
mediately proclaimed the sister. wife anc
mother of the Mikado, under the title o
Ohohime. The ceremony over, splendid
fetes were held in Mako, which continued
for eight days aims were freely distributed
to the poor, and considerable sums OF money
scattered at the temples and converts of the
empire.

The Character of Louis Napoleon
What is Said in France.

The Paris correspondent Of the New York
Herald writes as follows:
Bankers, ecclesiastics, diplomatists, mer-
chants, the soldiers and civilians, alike seem
to hold but one language, that the year 1860
can not close without a war with England.
Something like an accurate guage seems
now to be applied to the character of the
Emperor; and even those who see in him
the saviour of France do not scruple to de-
clare that he is only now, in the face of Eu.
rope, enactng the same role which almost
from his infancy, he has been obliged to play
behind the scenes. He was born to con-
spire, they say. The earliest sounds that
greeted his chiIdhood's ears were redolent
Of conspiracy. Whether in Paris, on the
Alpine nights of Switzerland, in the fowery
land of Italy, or on the shores of perfidious
Albion, conspiracy and nothing but conspir.
acy, has been his dream by night his ear
liest waking thought. His whole career oi
! power has been one tissue OF conspiracy
1t is the food which sustains his existence.
and every day elevates him higher in the
ewes of the whole world. He Is now con-
spring against you. What fools you must
be to expect any thing else. he has moi
told you that his mission was TO avenge the
defeat at Waterloo q Is he not Bonaparte
and does he not know tbat his sole title to
the continued prestige in the eyes of the
alton that has raised him on its shoulders
to the proudest throne in Christendom, is the
understanding that the degradation of the
Restor alton shall be blotted out, the humili.
alton of France in the gnominious captivity
of her great captain avenged in the blood o
the nation that caused it. Russia will have
none Of you; Austria despises you; you have
but Prussia, and France has sundry reckon
ings TO make with her, which will probably
end in state of things as bad, if not worse
than she suffered under Frederick William
Napoleon l. always regretted leaving thai
power with 90 much territory, regret which
/ his nephew will tske csSe shall be needless
