brnos a new series of reports and all OF them OF
,,a1, contradictory and confused character
a, Saturday. there was ground to believe re-
mort that 10 Smith had passed through Peoria, on
b;s wav to Springfield, escorted by the officers OF
tho law. To-day this report IS d'scred'ted by
Jews from Nauyoo, that the Prophet was at that
mace on Saturday last, having been rescued by
b;s followers from the hands of the persons who
had seized him.
The place of capture has not been ascertain'd
Int we are told that the persons having the re-
o,;s;t;on IN their possession, two OF whom were
Citizens of Missouri, were taken IN charge by the
Nornons. carried to Nauvoo, and were there 10
UNDERGO an examination on Saturday last l MS
proceeding will involve Smith aud his irlends III
new difficulties. inasmuch as they have placed
themselves in an attitude Of direct hostility to me
legitimate authority of the State. 1t Is admitted
that the reouistion was made by the Governor OF
Missouri. and that Gov. Ford, of Illinois, so lar
COMPLIED with il as toissue the necessary warrant
for his apprehension At first, we were under the
impression that this new movement against 20;
Smith grew out Of disclosures made by hock"el'
in regard to the attempted ASSASSINATION OF GOV
Gov. Boggs. but this seems not to have been Tue
case.
The occurrences which led to the expulsion OF
Mornons from Missouri, and which were signal
lied by savage and brutal vindictiveness on the
part of portion of our citizens, are SAID to have
formed the groundwork Of this charge. II So
there can be little doubt that 10 Smith Will escape
from this new attack upon him, and thereby OBJ
tain still greater popularity with his followers: In
this affair. the Mormons were more slnned against
than shining, and regard for the character OF the
State should lead us to say as little about 1t as pos
sible. The indictment is Il recent one, procured,
if IS said, sometime last month, and this clrcum-
stance induces lis to believe that there are other
motives than desire to sec Justice administered
upon 10 Smith, at the bottom OF proceeding
which, il instituted at all. should have COM
