AFFAIRS AT NAUVOO.
We learn from the Warsaw Qll.) Signal OF
Feb. 10, that Nauvoo. the city Of the Nor
mons, presents aspectacle highly indicative
of a future, if not present, state OF wretch
edness and want. The editor says he has
been informed, by gentleman from Nauyoo,
that the great mass of the population Of the
city are in a state bordering on starvation !:
that no business is going on; and that the
poorer classes have no other means OF OBJ
tanning a sustenance than by charitable do
nations from the richer classes. Subscrip-
tions are passing through the streets for the
relief OF the poor, and baskets are every day
carried around TO collect provisions for the
starving.
NAUvoo.-Quite a commotiOn exists m
Hancock county, between the citizens Of
Nauvoo and Warsaw. 1, appears that an
officer from Warsaw went up TO the Holy
City OF business, where he was apprehended
by the authorities nd placed in confinement,
on the charge Of being one Of the murderers
of the Smiths. Fearing that when the news
Of his arrest should reach Warsaw the citi-
zens o!that place would come up 20 effect
his liberation, posse OF two hundred Nor
mons were ordered out to resist them. There
was good deal of excitement at Warsaw.
and further difficulties were apprehended.
At Quincy several Mormons have been
apprehended, charged with theft and rob-
berry.

salutary reform in the laws regulating natur- I

information preparatory to the ac-
