THE MoRMoMs IN MISSOURI.

Current information from Missouri confirms
the annrehensions entertained of the breaking
out of a furious Civil War between the MOT
mons and the residents at Jackson county, IN
the State of Missouri The Fayette Monitor,
of the 2Ist, says " BY our next number we an
ticinate something ION the Mormon controver-
sy) in an authentic form. The People may
look for the worst"
The Missouri Enquirer (printed at Liberty
of the 18th June, says that, on the MONDAY pre-
ceding, Committee on the part OF the cltlzens
of Jackson county, and one IN oehaii OF the
Mormon People, met at Liberty, 10 TAKE inlo
consideration the subject of compromising the
difficulties which occurred in Jackson county
last Autumn. No compromise was effected,
however Notwithstanding the exertlons OF the
People Of Clay county, lin which Liberty is sit
uated,) committee of whom were appointed TO
act as mediators. On the contrary, the excite
ment among the People was such, that the con-
ference was, in consequence Oft, obliged to be
adjourned. The proposition made by the Peo-
pie of Jackson county to the Mormons, VINO
were driven out of the county last Autumn, and
are about to re-enter it with additional num-
bers, in arms, is to buy all the lands and improve
ments Of the Mormons, at valuation by dlsln-
tcrested arbitrator, to which valuation one nun
dred Der cent shall be added, to be paid within
thirty DAYS thereafter; the Mormons thereupon
to leave the county, and not hereafter to attempt
to enter it, individually or collectively. Or, the
citizens of Jackson county to sell their lands to
the Mormons on exactly reciprocal terms. TO
neither of these propositions were the Commit
tee of the Mormons authorized to assent, nor
does there appear any probability that either OF
them will be assented to. The Enquirer, after
narrating these facts gives utterance to the fol-
lowing melancholy foreboding: " 1t IS lament
able fact that this matter is about to involve
the whole upper country in civil war and blood.
| she'd We cannot Gf compromise Is not
agreed to before Saturday nexD tell how long
| it will be before we shall have the painful task
of recording the awful realities of an extermi-
| mating wars The citizens of Jackson, it ap-
pears, though inferior in numbers to the Nor,
mons are resolved to dispute every inch OF
ground, and the Chairman of their Committee
declared, at the Meeting in the Court House OF
Clay county, appealing to Heaven for the truth
of his assertion, that they would dispute every
inch of ground, burn every blade of grass, and
suffer their bores 70 bleach on their hills, rather
than the Mormons should return to Jackson
county. "-Nat,O19It Int,

BALLOON ASCENT.
From the NeD York Journal Of Commerce.

From the Neu York Journal Of Commerce.
Mr.. Robertson made his 18th eronautic as
cent on the 4th July from Castle Garden. He
left the Garden at O'Clock and "A minutes,
amid the cheers of thousands in the Garden, and
tens of thousands on the Battery and the neigh
boring piers and houses as well as IN vessels,
steamboats,, small boats, sc. Soon after clear
ing the walls, he threw out bag of ballast, at
ter which, he rose rapidly and beautifully for
about Is minutes, his course inclining westward,
when suddenly he entered the clouds, and in a
moment more the balloon was invisible. He
still continued to rise, till he had gained the
height of THREE MILES with the sun SHINING IN
glory upon the ocean Of clouds beneath, while
above was the blue expanse, constituting, alto
pether. he says, a scene which it is impossible
to describe.
About half past five, he again made his APP
pearance below the clouds,-not where he en-
tered them, but several miles to the Eastward
Consequently, the current OF air ABOVE the
clouds must have been directly opposite to that
on and near the earth's surface. ne WING now
carried him to the Westward, and he continued
TO float along at a moderate distance from the
earth till he had crossed the East River, and ar
rived over Manhattan Island, three or four
miles North of the City Hall. He then threw
out more ballast and assembled rapidly, till he
again entered the clouds, and was lost to the
eve of the beholder. After rising to about his
former maximum height, and judging himself
waited near the ocean, he made his final de-
scent. and landed without accident on the farm
of Mr. Morris, about two miles South OF New
town. L. |. He returned to the city the same
evening, and arrived at Castle Garden about
halfpast nine O'Clock Mr.. X. remarked to US that
although this was his 18th ascent, he had never
passed through the clouds before, having al
ways, until now, clear weather The ascent
was on the whole very fine one, and highly
to the thousands who witnessed it.
We forgot to mention that when over Long
Island Mr.. R. was very much annoyed by the
firing of cannon, perhaps at the Navy Yard.
Every discharge made his balloon shake like
an aspen, and at times, he was not without ap-
prehensions of danger from the circumstance
The increase of his distance from the earth, did
not diminish the effect of the conclusion.
