1 The Mormon War ended.-We learn from
the st. Louis Republican of the LIST inst that
the threatened civil commotion in Missouri,
between the Mormons and some of the citi-
zens is ended. The Republican says
This war which has kept large portion
| of our citizens in an excitement for the last
thirty days, is now at an end in every thing
except paying the piper, which the people
1 have vet to do. The war, it is estimated,
will cost the State at least, fifty or sirty thou
sand dollars. We are told that the whole
! was easily arranged by General Atkinson,
in the following manner General A.,
who, by the way, has the confidence of the
! Mormons to very great degree, and is de-
serving of general respect, with about two
4 hundred select men, in the character Of Con-
servators of the peace, repaired to the Far
| West, where he held a conference with the
leading Mormons, and was assured by them,
that every disposition was entertained on
their part, to abide by the laws. They sta
ted their willingness to submit to the judicial
decisions offhe country, and claimed nothing
but the protection of the laws A full inves-
| tigation by General A. of the whole matter
satisfied him that the Mormons were the in
jured party, and that the statements of Justice
| Black and others, of the Mormons' threats
ard attempts to force persons to sign pa
per, and to swear allegiance to Jo Smith,
were entirely false and gToundlcss Gene

the country, and in dispensing all the armed

Arrest Of a Methodist .Alinister-Much en-
element exists in Brown County, Ohio, in
| consequence of the arrest of The Rev. John
b. Mahan, of Sardinia, (Ohio,) by order Of
the Governor of Ken,ucky. Mr.. Maxim is
Minister ofthe Methodist Episcopal Church
located at Sardinia, and noted abolitionist.
1t appears, that two indictments were found
against him by the Grand Jury of Kentucky,
for kidnapping and inducing slaves id XIV.
to leave their masters, and he was sent for.
as a fugitive from justice. It is alleged, on
the other hand, that he has not been in Ken
| tucky.for seventeen years. Nevertheless, as
he was indicted by the Grand Jury and sent
for, by an executive warrant, it was the duty.
of the Governor of Ohio to. deliver him up,
and he was accordingly sent Otto Kentucky
for trial. - 2~s > '.''.'f -

was procured by the testimony Of .pcsiufed
witnesses, and it will be proved on the trial.
that he is innocent of the charge. 1t is also
stated that he did not have the benefit of
writ OF habeas corpus. for his delivery. If so,
he probably did not apply for il, or it would
have been conceded as right. The excite
