American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1845-09-30

! The St. Louis papers received last night inform
us that the proposition from the Twelve Ell
ders, for cessation o! hostilltes, has been re-
ected on account of the impcrtinent language
in which it was couched. The New Frs Of
the 22d inst. says;
The steamer Die Vernon arrived yesterday,
bringing down a number Of passengers, many
ofwhom are said to be anti Mormons fleeing
from the wrath to come. The most authentic
statement now is, that the Mormons, headed
by the 'redoub'ablo' Blckenstos, High Sheriff
Of Hancock county and keeper Of the peace in
general, have got the upper hand and are a.
bout to have all the sport of Staying the antics
10 themselves. 1t is said that he has issued a
mother proclamation, No. 9, which has struck
such CONSERVATION into the anti Mormon army
of Gen. Williams, and so completely Mortified
the inhabitants of Warsaw, that the largest
proportion of the army have deserted, and the
citizens of Warsaw fled in all directions. The
following piece of war news we found attached
to the manifest of the Die Vernon; it sounds
like good deal we have heard before; what
reliance is to be placed in it, those that read it
can best determines
1.-TWO companies Of Mormons, one under Mr..
Williams and the other under Mr.. Miller, were
encamped on Friday about miles from War
saw and avowed their determination to visit
! Warsaw the next dav. The whole Mormon
force was about 800, and Backenstos, the She
riff, had made a rGqujsiton on Nauvoo for 600
more, who were to be down on Saturday, On
| Friday the Sheriff sent Il communication to
Col. Williams requiring him uEd the other lea
ders of the mob to surrender themselves to be
dealt with according to the law, and give up
the State arms, in which event he (thc She
riff would not proceed further, but upon their
refusal he would put every one to the sword;
they were allowed till II O'Clock on Saturday
to answer. Most Of the citizens OF Warsaw and
Col. Williams men had crossed to the other
side of the river to wait for assistance. The
house burning and other deprcdations upon the
Mormons had ceased"
The editor of the St. Louis Republican,
writing from Warsaw under date of the 18th
inst, says;
My own belief is, that, although the Nor
mons have now in the field the strongest party,
and have excited considerable fears in the ranks
of the Antics, that the latter will yet rally, and
carry the warfare further than it has yet been
carried. They will, if it is renewed, attempt
to revenge the deaths Of Worrell and McBrat
ney Symptoms Of trouble were n3anifestiR:
themselves at Keokuk, |. t., when | left
The citizens of the township had resolved tina
the Mormons should not live in their township
and they had sent petition to the Goyerno
requesting him to have all removed.
The Republican also contains the proclama
ton of the Mormon Sheriff, Baclsenstos, il
which he states that he has posse of 20ot
men well armed ready to assist in p0ttins
down the anti-Mormon rioters, and that he ha!
5000 additional ready to be called out at any
moment.
LATER FROM MExEco-- The .NpricanS Fright,
ened The Pensacola correspondent of the Mo.
bile Tribune writes under date of the Goth inst
as follows:
The l. 5. steam frigate Princeton, came to
anche. oF'ho Navy Yard about O'Clock this
morning, four and 4 hail days from Vera Cruz.
The Princeton brought no news ind cu.;ve of
war, further than what we have 50 often heard
they We're making preparations" tap
pears that the city OF Mexico was in great com
motion growing out Of report which had
reached hat place Of Com. Conner's taking
Vera Cruz, and Gen. Taylor's marching into
Mexico with an additional number of 500
1exian volunteers. These fabrcations were no
doubt propagated to force speedy and pacific
adjustment OF the difficulties between the two
Governments, aud am fully persuaded Row,
that this much talked Of war will all end in
smoke. The Princeton left the soop Saratoga
at Vera Cruz, where she will remain until re-
leyed by some other vessel. The course now
adopted by Com. Conner in arranging his squa-
dron SO that his Government may be almost
daily advised of the news from Mexico, cannot
fail to receive the appreciation not only of the
Navy Dept. but his countrymen generally.
The u. S. steam fiigate Mississippi, Capt
Fitzhugh, sailed from Pensacola Oh Tuesday,
10th inst. for Arkansas Bay, to join the squad
ron at that place. The fIigate Potomac is to
be lowed up to a point opposite this city, on
Santa Rosa Island, called Navy Cove, where
an effort is about to be made to get at the leak
in her bows by means of wooden Golfer dam,
built in the form Of false bow which will be
fitted to the stem land securely Gyed, up and
down, abaft the wooden ends.
.NeriCO. The editor of the Red River Re-
publican says that gentleman who travelled
to Memphis with Ashbel Smith when he de-
scended the river, was informed by that gen
tlernan, that he had seen a document which
was intended to be addressed by Capt. Elliott,
on the part of the British government to the
government of Mexico, protesting against a
declaration of war by the latter There may
be some truth in this, says the n. o. Tropic.
1t is highly probable that the British govern
ment would protest against a declaration of
war by Mexico, but 1t seems to us that Mr.
Bankhead the British Minister in Mexico, and
not Capt. Ellio tt, is the proper person to make
the protest
