was given 10 the jury on Saturday even.
ing about 8 o'clock After an absence.
.of about two hours and a half, they re-
turned with n verdict Of guilty 1t was
clearly proved that Col Blodgel and
Mr. Henderson acted under The order.
OF he State, and that they EMPLOYED no
unnecessary force in obeying their or.

that neither evidence nor law would
produce any efet before a Jury composed
Of Dorrites. The case was apaea ed TO

WINGS OF DIES MONIES.

You will soon be called to the dig
charge of most important franchise.
You probably never performed more
responsible duty, than you will per.
form when you cast your ballots for
Delegates to form State Constitution.
Do you wish one established under
which you and your children and
chldren's children, can live and pres
per and be happy Do you desire to
live in a stable government. where the
laws will be obeyed and vindica,ed-
where education will be difrused-
where enterprise will be encouraged
manufactures and the mechanic arts
protected-where the Judiciary will be
independent, and civil and religious
liberty enjoyed! If you do, see that
your Township Delegates are appoint
ed and see that they attend the Con-
vention. Let the 18th Of July be ded-
icaled to the public good. Come to
the Convention, one and all, come
with spirit of concession. and with a
firm determination to be united, AND
YOU WILL BE VICTORIOUS.

The PoLKA.-A celebrated foreign
dance with the above title is about to
be introduced into this country, whelh-
er TO aid Polk in his election or not,
we are unable to say. We may now
expect dancing rooms. instead of club
and reading rooms, where the locos
can cut the "pigeon wing" and have
"hoe downs" There is but little me-
cessity for the introduction Of this for.
eign fandango, as Clay and Freling-
huysen will make the Polkmen dance
10 their hearts content next fall to the

A MOST MELANCHOLY EVENT occurred

A MOST MELANCHOLY EVENT occurred
last Monday on the river opposite this
city. Capt B. F. WOOD, while sailing
in a boat in company with several
others. accidentally fell over board and
was drowned. All exertion to save
him proved unavailing, the wind being
high and the river rough. His corpse
has not yet been found. Capt. Wood
was a merchant, had resided about a
wear among us and had eadeared him.
self 20 many Of our citizens. His
loss. so sudden and unexpected, is most
severely felt.

High Wafer.

The Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois riv.
ers are very high and doing incalculabs
damage, below the mouth Of the Missouri
At st Louis, on the 18th, the water was
fourteen inches higher than the first rise
this spring. The whole leyce was under
water, business was at u stand on the
wharf and boats landed at TIE cross streets
Nearly all the stores on water street had
more or less water in them. The ferry boat
landed passengers at bluffs nearly ten miles
from the city, via Illinostown and Caho.
kia. On the 18th the water was still high
er, many Of the houses on Front stree. hav.
ing from two to three feet water in them
Up the Missouri on the 18th, tho whols
country was flooded for miles, every farm
in the Kansas bottom was under water
From Weston to Glasgow, the whole coun'
try from bluff to bluff was overloaded -
There was great destruction Of horses, cat.
tie, &c. The passing Steamboats, rendered
assistance to the people by rescning them
and their property from the delugc. on
the Illinois, Naples on the 18th, was entire
ly inundated, boats were used through tho
streets.
Beardstown was overlooked as far as tho
stores; and Fishers hotel could only %
reached by boats.
Since writing the above. we have &C.
counts as late as the 22d ut which timc tue
water was still rising rapidly at S. Louis ana
had exceeded any rise within the memory
of the Oldest inhabitants.

Great Convention at Peoria.

the wings Of Illinois had an immense
meeting on the 10Th of this month at Peoria
1t is estimated that seven or eight thousand
persons were present; large number con-
sidering the inconvenience of travelling
great number Of steamboats, were en-.
gagged in conveying the people from st
Louis, and various points on the Illinois
and Mississippi rivers. large tent was
erected near the town and there the con.
vention assembled, passed resolutions and
were addressed by DR. Mcdowell st Louis.
A procession was then formed and marched
to grove and partook Of cold collation..
The st Louis Republican says that the
pageant exceeded any thing ever witnessed
by him. 'flre music, flags, banners and.
mot'os. ships, &C., made a lively scene. In
the procession was banner on which was
painted a Coon in the act Of biting Poke
stalk in two, having this motto "Po'k stock
Is falling" Archibald Williams, Of Ada ms !.
presided, assisted by thirty-seyen Vice Pre-

cred speeches. Letters were read from
Henry Clay, Francis Grasger, Willard Fill

NAUV VOC AFFAIRS.

The Warsaw Signal of June goth.
says tina! $50 men mustered at tina,
place the day before; which is falling
off, as it was reported here, that 5000,
and some said 5000, were assembled
at that city. The same paper says
that 800 were encanped at Carthage
and that the Mormons say they have
1000 strong. The Democrat of Fort
Madison issued an extra. on Saturday
the 22nd, which we have before us and
which states that Martial Law is in
force in Nauvoo that Governor Ford
arrived at Carthage on the 2lst, and
that he had approved the order of the
Brigadier general calling upon the mi
litia who refused to comply until the
Governor had sanctioned it. Numerous
rumors are anoat in town but we give
them no credit. In fact, we have
nothing more definite than the above,
though it may be possible that 10. as
reported, has left Nanvoo. or has given
himself up 10 Governor Ford.
