mutually exasperated, and to have approach
ed very near 10 general and bloody battle. .
The numbers engaged in the eHntesi ON both
sides are much larger than we had suppussG,
beGOre seeing these anfheutic details. The /.
MOrmOns assembled late in JuOe,iO Clay co..,
tMo.( and were reinforced BY parties princi-
pally from Ohio. until they mustered frOm
800 to 1000 men, armed with guns, tOma-
hawks, knives, and from two TO four braces Of
pistols each. Their design was Ia cross the
river and take possession Of Jackson county

fighting the battles for the possession Of the
Holy Land. The Jackson county people
we're equally determined to resist The passage
Of the river, at all hazards. A letter from

Lafayette 400, and that several hundred more.
were ready to come at moments EARNING.
The feeling of the people may be cOniectur-
ed from the expression of opinion in the let
tiers quoted, that had the Mormons attempted
to cross the river, not one Of them would
have been 'sleft TO tell the tale" No quar-
ter would have been given, and we could have
killed most 81 them before they got across the
river" a4-~-~-.
There were some attempts at negotiation,
The jackson county people offered TO buy ali
the lands Of the MOrmOns at a double Price,
which was refused. The invaders professed ]
praceabe intentions, and desire only to take
quiet possession OF their own lands-profes-
sions which appear 10 have gu: no credit. '
In the end, however, they desisted from The
enterprise, and postponed the crusade for the
possession of their Zion.' for City or hum
bred years. They will take up their interme-
date residence come where else; and thus the
battle, which must have been obstinate and.
very bl"Ody, was avoided.
II is to be hoped. for the sake Of ordinary
justice, that means will be found for maxi *
compensation TO these deluded men for the
property they are forced to abandon. as we'll
