BRIGHAM YOUNG.

(From the ' Melbourne Telegraph ') Brigham Young's'flight is marked by a difference''from his previous disappearance from .Nauvop. Pie took with him. then, the entire .of the church, which was ihen poor in this world's g;>ods and altogether a struggling community. At Uiah ilie brethern and sisters became a consolidated power, rich in farms and great in public works; and Mr. Young has fled xuliu-. As yet wo arc: not informed of an exodus of the sympathetic saints, who will wail a good, deal perhaps, but will stick to their p roper J 37. The cause of'the last flight of the prophet we have yet to learn. One supposition is that the discoveries regarding the cruel murders by Young's body-guard of Dannir.es, committed fifteen years ago, are coming home to hi in, in which ease he would have to "y not only America, but the entire .civilised world. England would afford him no refuge, nor Australia.. If he. sheltered .in. Fiji,. Cacobou would surrender him up to justice and (he gal'o.ws. This theory is not consistent, however, with the fact that the high priest Iris merely retreated to a faroff United States territory. It is more probable that the energetic Mr. Justice M'Kean has instituted new proceedings for the suppression of-polygamy, which the high priest.saw.it was ; funic "to resist. The last American papers brought the news that Mr. M'Kean had prepared the plan of another campaign, a.icl that the President was inclined to endorse it. " The final issue with IT cab,"-said General Grant ! in January last; "' cannot be much longer avoided." A poetical justice would be that Mr.. Young.could no longer : _stand his. 'twenty-nine wires, that his troubles have turned his hair grey, and that he is ready to sing (after Cowper) " Polygamy, where are thy charms That sages have seen in thy face." The unfortunates, whom*one wife in a house has made mad, are firmly of opinion that Yoxmg has been, enduring tortures for years shut up with, twenty-nine.
