RECOVERY THE REMAINS OF THE PIRATE
KtDp's VEssEL.-An old gentleman has informed
friend Of ours, who told us, that near unto the
spot where it is supposed the remains of this cele-
brated freebooters vessel lie, that during the re-
vouhonary war several gun boats were sunk, and
that the remains Of the vessel now discovered is
much more likely to be one of The latter than the
former. This might be very possible, but that the
research made already by pricking and boring,
evidences vessel Of much greater extent than any
gun boat Of ancient or modern times-upwards OF
1870 feet in length. However, the question is now
in fair way Of being solved, ard in a very short
time it will be ascerained whether or not this il
the much sought for vessel.

DEATH OF THE lPRopHEr ,-JoE AND HIRAM
SMITH ARE D!-The steamboat Boreas, just IL
from Warsaw, brings shocking intelligence from
the scene Of the Mormon war. The following
slip from the Office OF the Warsaw Signal explains
the dreadful tragedy.
"Joe and Hiram Smith arr dead-shot this at.
ternoon. An attack from the Mormons is expected
every hour. Will not the surrounding counties
rush instantly to our rescue
WARSAW, June 9Th, 1874"
II seems that the circumstances attending the
killing of the Mormon Prophet and his brother
Hiram are as follows. on yesterday, Governor
Ford left Carthage with about one hundred and
twenty soldiers, for The purpose Of taking posses
sion of the Nauvoo Legion and their arms; Ihey
assembling OF the Legion.
About 1000 men with arms Immediately respond
ed to its call. These troops were put under COM
mand Of Col. Singleton OF Brown county, who &C
The Governor finding all quiet left Nauvoo about
o'clock, P. M, with company of 60 men for
the purpose of encamping about seven miles from
the city.
Nauvoo. the Prophet and his brother were killed al
Carthage, under the following circumstances, as
near as we can ascertain them
Joe and Hiram are.both confined in the debtors
room Of the Carthage Jail, awaiting their trial on
charge Of treason. The jail was strongly guarded
by soldiers and anti Normons, who had been placed
there by the Governor
A Mormon attempted to rush by the guard for
the purpose of forcing his way into the Jail He
was opposed by the guard, and fired pistol at one
Of the guard, giving him slight wound.
general confusion ensued In the crowd around
the jail Joe and his Mormon fellow prisoners il
seems had provided themselves with pistols, and
commenced firing upon the guard within. He then
attempted to escape from the window, when d
hundred balls entered his body, and he fell lite
less corpse.
His brother Hiram shared the same fate. Rich
ards, leading Mormon, was badly wounded
There our intelligence ends-what took place
after this God only knows. Mormons imme
diately left for Nauvoo to carry the news Of the
death of the Prophet. 1t is feared that thu
Mormons at Nauvoo will be SO .exasperated a.
to exterminate the Governor and his small force.
The Boreas brought down most OF the women
and children from Warsaw. It's feared their town
is in ashes before this.
Our citizens were aroused this morning by the
ringing Of bells and call to arms. Our three in
dependent companies are already in marching or
der Maj. Flood has ordered out the militia OF this
regiment, and the steamer B0reas is waiting to con
vey them to the scene of action.
There is no knowing where this dreadful affair
will end. Many have expressed fears that GU,
city is in danger, because most of the Warsaw ia
miles have taken refuge here-but we believe
there is no danger; we are too far from the scene
Of action.
Messengers have just left for Hannibal, and the
towns below, for the purpose Of arouslng the Mis-
sourians The excitement in our city is intense,
and the anxiety to hear the fate OF Gov. Ford and
his men is very great.

COMMON COUNCIL .-ELEcTroN OF A MAcrsrR ATE
Tho Board of Aldermen and Assistants meet this
evening, Tor the purpose of electIng new msgs
trate, to fill the place OF Min Parker, ESQ whose
term has expired-Mr. Drinker the applicant for
the Office, and his fitness for the magsterial chair
having already caused much discussion and excite.
ment among the members OF the Board, as has
been seen in our sketch of the long debate which
took place on Wednesday evening last The mi.
norty will doubtless continue their opposition to
his appointment. 1t will be seen, by our reporl
referred to, that the Of Mr. Drnker was refer.
red to a committee, OF which Alderman Hasbrouck
was chairman. Certain charges had been prefer.
rsd-what they amount to we know not-and over
forty witnesses were examined The majority
were for reporting to the Board without the evi
dence-the minority were in favor OF reporting
with the evidence; and the chairman on being
called uion on Wednesday for the report, claimed
further delay, upon which long and warm debate
took place between Aldermen Hasbrouck, Gale
Charllck, Emmans, Miller, Cozzens, &C., &C.
which resulted in the decision to discharge tbs
committee, by vote of % to IL.
The minority contended that the public were
fully entitled to the evidence taken on this nves
tigation, and after much personality and excited
debate between Aldermen Hasbrouck and Gale
the discussion resulted above. If there hao
been anything to warrant the charges against Mr.
Drnker-or if there was no foundation for any
charges against HINT was due to the public to
1--WE him the benefit Of the testimony taken on this
investigation. The matter, however, being now
aiken out Of the hands of the committeeman a
majority IN favor Of his nomination--Mr. Drinker
will doubtless be elected. The minority are deter
mined, however. TO nominate a candidate, and, az
We anticipate the debate will be an exciting one,
we shall attend to il.
