their faces, and made rush upon the Jail

fined. The guard placed by The Governor Ia
protect the jail were overpowered by superio'
numbers, the doors OF the Jail forced, and Joe

killed by ball which passed through his
head. Joe was in the act Of raising the win
dow when he was shot both from without and
within, and fell GU, of the window to the
ground. Richards, whom we supposed yes
Ierday was dead, escaped unhut by shutting
himself up in cell in the Jail. Mr. Taylor
the editor of the Nauvoo Neishbor, was in the
room with the Smiths, and received three
balls in his leg, and one in his arm. He is

broken the pledge to the Cove nor di<gracec

They have crimsoned their pertdiiy with
blood.

raising of troops 10 be in readiness in case OF

ton. He could not himself view il az such :;
but. on the contrary, question of vital i'm
porlance to the Southern States, as well as to
Texas ;-one of national importance to both
countries. He expressed it as his firm belief,
that, 1t the next Congress, did not, in short
time alter their meeting, pass some
treaty OF annexation, that the people Of Texas
would despair OF ever seeing it doue-that
they were now laboring under the most onerous
burdens Of Taxation, both foreign and domes-
iic-and that the public mind was fast ap-
preaching to the determination to nurchase
power at any sacri6ce-that i, came under
his own knowledge-he spoke assu.edy in
saying that Mexico would, in "a hnurs ac-

much to our friends who will be here
on Saturday as Delegates. We are sa.
tisied that all will do their dusy-tha'
all will yield their sectional feelings
that all will come with spri, of con.
cession and harmony--and that all will
determine to act for the good Of oul
cause and our country. This is all thai
is required, and, with proper exer,ion,
our triumph is certain. We hope eve.
