Mormon War

We inent oned last week the destruction of th pre of the Expositor in Nauvoo city. It wa ■established bya set of seceding Monnons lor th . purpose of exposing the impositions and niquities of Smith and his confedérales. Smith is Mayo of the city, ?nd the Common Council havingdeclared the Expositor office a nuisance, it was burned in the streets. This produced grent excitement through the adjacent country, and prep arations were made for war. We find the follow ing summory of tho proceedings in an exchange paper. "Our accounts from Nauvoo are up to tho 24th There has yet been no blood shed, though there is still danger there may be. It appears no attempt was made by the citizns of Hancock Coun ty, to arrest the persons who destroyed the "Expositor" press on the I9th, the day they had nppointed for that purpose; but ihey determined to awsit the arrival of Gov. Ford. The Gov. reachd Warsaw on the 20th. He ïmmedmtdy deciard publicly lus fixed dclermination to bring to the aid of the civil authorities nll the forcé he possessed for tiie arest of those concerned in the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor, and for the faitliful and fcarkss administrationof tho - To this end, he sent orders to the brigadier genteral of the fourth brigade, to rendezvóus forthVvith, nt Worsaw, provided with eight days'provisions. Th8 brigade consista oí íour regimenté. nd is aboat two thousand strong. There were, ■also, underarms at Carthage and its vicinity, one titousand citizens, ready to aid in the executlon of thelaw8. Gov. Ford had sent two expresses to Nauvoo, commanding Smith to send two of the most discreet membars of the com- mon council to thts governor, with an explanation (ifany they had (o make) of their conductin destroying the private property ol citizens of this atate. These messengers had not returned to Warsaw at the latest accounts. The Gov. also sent orders to Col. Buckmaster, at Alton, for all the arms of the State in his posession fit for service, and they were sent up on the Die Vernon. The nuniber ot these iscomparalivcly trifling; consis'.ing of say 100 yauger6, twenty muskets, and thrce six-pounders. On the 2 )th, the Mormons were about 3.500 strong, all iully armed and cquipped, with a full upply of piovisions and amunition. They were lso in posüession ol six pieces of artillery, carrying six-pound bulla. The city of Nauvoo was tinder inartial law and the forces of Smith were daily inercased ly arrirals of Mormons from other 8cctions of the country." Since the foregoing was in Type. we have received ihe followiag further particulars.From the Quincy Hernld. DEATH OF THE PROPHET. The steamboat Bóreas just in from Wursaw. brings shocking intelligejice from the scène ol the Morman war. The following slip from the office of the Warsaw Sign il, e.xplains the dreadlal tragedy: "Joe and Hiram Smuh are dead - shot this nfternoon. An attack from the Mormons is expected evcry hour. Will not the surroundiny: couiitics rush insiantly to our rescue? Warsiw, June27th, 1844." It seem8 that the circumstances attending the killing of tlie Mormon Prophet and his broihor Hiram are as foüowsi On yesterdoy Gov. fr'ord ieft Carthage wi'.h about 120 soldiers: for the purpose, of taking possession of the 4íNauvoo Legion" and their anus. They arrived at Nauvoo about noon. and callcd lor the assembling of the Legión. About 2000 men with. arms immediately responded to ih8 cali. These troops were put under command of Col. Siugleton. o( Brown Co., who accompanied Gov. Ford to Nauvoo. The Gov. finding allquiet. Ieft Nauvoo aboui o o'clock P. M. with n company of 60 men, for th purpose of encaniping about seven miles from hecity. At about the same time that Gov. Ford Ieft Nauvoo, tlio Prophet and his brotücr were lulled at Carthage, under the following circumstanccs, asnear ax wc can ascertain liiem: Joe and his broihter were both confined in the debtor's room of the Carthage jüil. awailing their tfrial oii a charge of tréapon.

Ford and his men is very great. The Free Press of Wednesday saysv Passengers who came do.vn from Chicago in iho steamer Madison to-day, state that the excrement at Nauvoo had subsidöd uporT thï death of Jo Smith. There had been no attack upon Gov. Ford and his men, norany attempt to do so by the Mormons.
