PAINFUL INTELLIGENCE.
ST.. LOUIS. MO- Nov. Is.

The Mormons and the Anti Mormons.
Our intelligence from the West by
the mails, is not so late as that brought
by the steam. boat Charleston. The
Fayette Monitor corroborates the state
ment of Mr.. Hyde, in relation to the
violent proceedings of the Anti Nor.
mons, so far as the accounts of that
paper extend. Houses and property
were destroyed, and the Elders of the
Church severely whipped by the mob,
under cover Of the night. 1t is impos-
sible to foresee what is to be the result
of this singular and outrageous viola.
ton Of the laws. We fear that the
party opposed to the Mormons will
think themselves placed so far beyond
the pale of the law as to continue ut
terly regardless of it, and eventually,
by the power Of numbers, be enabled
to cut of the offending sect. The loss
of their relatives and partizans will
stimulate them to these acts, and fear.
ful acts of bloodshed may have already
been witnessed. AS yet, our intelli-
gence is not very accurate, or full, in
regard to the measures taken by the
officers of the county to suppress this
rebellion as it may properly be called.
The entire county is most probably
arrayed on one side or the other; and
IN this state of things the power of the
sheriff, and other officers, to suppress
the riot, is perfectly futile. 1t is re-
ported, besides, that the Judge of the
circuit, VINO attempted to interfere to
stop the proceedings, as well as some
the officers were captured by the
mob, and placed in durance; either IN
Jail, or in. charge Of some ofthelr num-
Der, for good many hours; and the
Lieutenant Governor, who resides II
that county, was driven from 1t. II
this state of things, we apprehend thu
proper course would have been for thu
authorities to have represented the cas-

but we have not learned whether the,

MATHEW CAREY.

Permit an individual, Mr.. Editor, to
pay his portion Of the debt Of public gra-
titude due to this benevolent man. A
friendless Irish lad landed on these
shores, some few years back; his whole
fortune consisting of a few Spanish
dolIars--a change of raiment--and
tincture of classical and mathematical
lore. Unaccustomed to labor, and
unable to obtain other employ, he saw
his scanty resources gradually melting
away, without any prospect Of hope
for the future.
In his distress, he applied for literary
employ to this respectable publisher,
and was Immediately engaged in cor
recting heavy work then passing
through the press. The hundred dol
lars which he received, in a few weeks,
as the first fruits of his labors, afforded
him more heartfelt JOY than the thou
sands that have since passed through
/ his hands. The countenance Of tho
good man cheercd the stranger--and
the seasonable aid impaired gave a
color to his future fortune; while the
integrity Of his employers charsoter,
and the exact method and regularity
observable in his arrangements, afford
ed model for imitation, and gave tho
first impulse towards the formation OF
similar habits.
Years have rolled on--and the pnco
light. hearted, thoughtless Irish lad, has
attained comparative Independence; but
neither time nor prosperity can effacs
the remembrance of the man who first
patronized and rewarded the industry
Of the young and friendlcss stranger.

ness over my heart. By this time the
deck was covered by officers and crew.

rending spectacle. All seemed mute.
Every feeling, every faculty, seemed
absorbed in one deep, intense emotion
ofagony.
AT this moment stir was made a.

when the Commodore, the boys father,
made his appearance. He had come
on board without being noticed by q
single eye. The Commodore asked

nance.
The scrutiny, however, was vain
his eye retained its severe expression;
his brow the slight frown il usually
wore; and his lip its naughty curl. In
short, no outward sign indicated what
was passing within. Immediately on
reaching the deck, he ordered ma.
rine to hand musket; when, setting
at. and lcaping upon the look out block
---hc raised II up TO his shoulder, and
took deliberate aim at his son, at tho
same time hailing him with his trumpet
in voice Of thunder.
"Robcr:," cried he, ssiumpl iump

boy seemed to hesitate, and i, was plain

ing to balance himself. The Commo-
dore raised his voice again, and in q
quicker and more energetic note, cried
---"Jump! It's your only chance for
liie!" The words we're scarcely out
OF his mouth, before he left the truck
and sprang out into the air. A sound
between shrek and a gronn burst
from my lips.
The father spoke not, sighed not; in.
deed, he seemed not to breathe. For
a moment of intense agony, pin might
have been heard to drop on the deck.
With a rush like that Of cannon ball
the boy descended to the water; and
before the waves closed over him,
twenty stout fellows, among them Sc.
veral officers. had dived from the bull.

pense cnsued. The boy rose! he was
alive! his arms were seen to Moves,
he struck out towards the ship.
In spite of the discipline ola man.of.
war, three huzzas, the outburst of I'M
leigned joy from the hearts of five hum
drcd men, penlcd through the air, and
made the welkin ring. Till this mo-
ment, the old Commodore had stood
His face was now nshy
pale. He attempted TO descend from
the block, but his knees bent under
him, no seemed to gasp for breath, and
attempted to tear open his vest; but in
the attempt he staggered, and would
have fallen, had he not been caught by
the bystanders.
He was borne to his cabin, where
the surgeon attended him, whose ut
most skill was required to restore his
mind TO its usual equilibrity and self
command, in which he at last happily
succeeded. AS soon as he recovered
from the dreadful shock, he sent for
Bob, and had long confidential con.
ference with him; and il was noticed,
when the little fellow left the cabin he
was in tears.

evident, that unless some effective mea.
sures are adopted by him in this emer.
gency, the lives of many valuable Cit.
zens will be sacrificed, and the State
suffer an irretrievable injury. A ran.
corous, deadly, hostility has long exist.
ed between the parties, and unless the
frmness and prudence of the Governor
should be equal to the crisis, and the
offending party be severely punished.
we must expect TO hear Of the continu.
al recurrence of such disgraceful pro.
ceedings.
We have nothing to do with the orr.
ginal causes of the quarrel. There
may be many worthless and intolera.
BILE members Of the obnoxious sect;
but the laws are equal TO the punish
ment ofall those who are guilty of vio-
latIng them. 1t does not appear that
they were appealed to, at all prior to
this contest. The Mormons are as
much protected in their religion, their
property, and persons, as any other
denomination or class of men. We
think that they acted perfectly right in
offering the resistance which they did,
and thus far they have the sympathy
OF this part OF the community.

number not stated. They also set fire
to a number of the Mormons' dwell
