LATER FROM NAUVOO.

The st. Louis Gazette of Saturday evening,
the 29th ut., contains several versions of the
horrd affair at Carthage, all agreeing, however,
lowing extract Of letter from Warsaw contains
intelligence about IL hours later than our last,
though nothing additional.
FRIDAY, 3. P. M.
The Boreas returned to day from Quincy to
Warsaw with nearly 500 armed men, receiving
by the way the United States arms at TulIy.-
Warsaw has no news from Carthage or Nauvoo
since last evening, except vague rumor that
Gov. Ford had Lett Nauvoo for Carthage WHAT
will be done is yet conjecture.
This morning appeared an extra or slip from
the Office of the Quincy Wing, of the fallacy Of
which statements respectfully beg leave to adj
wise you and the public. 1t is therein stated that
the Mormons had planned the liberation of the
prisoner on Thursday. Let us examine this point.
Smith had surrendered to the Carthagenian Off
GERS, on being assured that violence would not be
offered to him previous to an impartial trial by a
Jury of his peers. Furthermore, had there been
numerous Morlnons about Cartilage, as the extra
states at the time of the assault on the prisoners,
the death of the prophet would have been known
at Nauvoo as early as at w arsaw whereas, am
informed that his death was not known at Nauvoo
at o'clock this morning.
The extra states that young Mormon OF ~
years, together with the prisoners, fired upon and
wounded the guard thus provoking the commits
sion of the fell deed. Let me assure you that my
information is derived directly from the corrobo-
rating testimony of several OF those who were
present, who saw Smith fall, and who, perhaps,
directed the fatal lead. Nothing was mentioned
at Warsaw, last evening" of the probable purpose
of the Mormons to liberate the prisoners. But
this did hear, that the entire Mormon Legion,
aided by Gov. Ford's McDonough troops, would
have been insufficient to retain Joe's hide shot
proof month longer. | respect the Anti Nor
mons rather than the Mormons yet respect
truth and justice rather than either.

MAD DoGs.-A dog in most dangerous state
Of hydrophoba shot by one of our citizens this
morning, on Missouri avenue. Owners of dogs
should be particularly careful in having them
chained up during the warm weather, as they
may thereby benefit the safety of the community,
and be secure in the keeping of faithful animals.
We suppose that the authorities will take the
proper steps for the prevention Of accidents from
this cause, by ordering their confinement for a
specified time.

NEW ORLEANS ELECTION.
From this New Orleans Bee, of July 2.
~ VICTORY!!

Although incomplete, the Wings of N. Orleans
have triumphed handsomely. But for the outra-
ges noticed elsewhere, the vote yesterday would
have been overwhelming Wings would have
elected every member Of their ticket by tremen-
dous majorities. Had the election proceeded
legally in any one of the wards in which it was
disturbed, every Wing would have been returned.
As it is, a majority of our Legislative ticket is
elected, and nearly the whole Of the Convention
candidates. Be of good cheer, Wings Of the
Union, Louisiana will do her duty in November.

1t was stated that there was majority Of ten
votes in the Third Municipality for the Wing
ticket 1t will be seen, therefore, that the Wings
have majority in the city, if this statement be
accurate, of torty-sir votes. 81 ,a,.~ ..s.
Of course it is impossible to arrive at just
judgment until the official returns are furnished
1t is our impression that the entire Wing ticket
has triumphed; IL is certain that a majority Of
the Wing candidates have been elected. In the
lower municipalities the tickets were !. somewhat
Mixed" and it is possible that three or four Of
the candidates for the Convention and as many
for the Legislature have been defeated. So close
is the vote, however, that we are compelled to
wait for further advices.
OF one thing the Wings of the Union may be
assured: New Orleans is "right side up" and
that the Baltimore nominations have met noble
response.

Both the buildings are forty feet from the street. and

provement, activity and enterprise of its inhabitants
to the south of it, the same square, is situated the
Fourth Presbyterian Church, adjoining it the north
an Episcopal Church will be erected this year. On
an adjoining square is st. Patricks Church. In the
immediate vicinity is that splendid establishment the
Patent Office, containing the apartment Of the Nation

years. and is not perhaps, surpassed by any nstitu
ton in the world considering the time has been in
operation.
In fact, it is hard to find an establishment of supe-

may be said with truth, that such one has never
been offered in this city, and perhaps never will be.
The Academy might be changed into two beautiful
cottages at moderate expense.

of Human life.
Al about / l O'Clock, body of troops with two
pieces of artillery, and headed by the County
Horse, marched down Third street, to reinforce
The military.
Reinforcements, it is said, had also been made
during the night to the other party. But the va
rious accounts are conflicting, and the reports
so numerous, that it was impossi lie to ascertain
the exact facts We saw several dead and
wounded carried off the ground-the wounded to
the hospital.
MONDAY MORNING, O'clock.
Small knots of people may be seen along Sc
cond and Third streets, at almost every corner be-
tween Market and Catharine They are talking
over the affairs of the night, and as may well be
supposed in many cases with much excitement
and feeling A gentleman who has Just come up
Third street says that he was taken into custody
below, having unconsc:ously gone beyond one of
the guard stations of the military.
A report of cannon has just been heard the
first that has disturbed the silence of the night for
an hour and half. The military still occupy
Queen street, in front of the church, and the ave.
nues leading to the building. The Commission
ers' Hall, Southwark, has been converted into
temporary hospital, and several dead bodies were
there an hour or two ago.
We trust that daylight will bring tranquility
and repose, and we sincerely hope that we may
never be called upon again to record such painful
scenes
We have this moment been informed that
large meeting has been held in Wharton Street
Market, the authentic particulars of which have
not yet TRANSFERRED in this part of the city.
The City Councils held an extraordinary meet
ing on Sunday evening, and passed resolutions
putting funds at the command of the Mayor, and
declaring that the civil authorities are justfable
in using whatever force may be necessary in pro-
tecting the lives and property Of the citizens.
