THE MORMON WAR.

AN extra purpovting to come from the Illinois
State Register, dated Sunday, Sept. 2lst gives
the following important news from Hancock:
1t appears that the ant-Mormons continued
their work OF destruction until upwards of one
hundred houses have been consumed. Sheriff
backenstos failed in raising posse strong
enough to stop these movements without resort
Ing TO Nauvoo, owing to the fear of all well dis
posed persons In the country, that their own hou-
SEES might be consumed. We learn tina. he raised
about 500 men, from Nauvoo, all well armed
with which he had dispersed the rioters, com.
manded by Col. " illiams, at Green Plains.
10 this affair no lives were lost, as the .anles'
run and took shelter i'm corn6eld. before The
posse came within firing distance.
Backenstos had been driven away from Car.
thage, and returned with about 500 men, to re-
move his family; on his retreat, he fell in with
large body OF anti ormons, when battle en-
sued. 1t is said that eighteen anti MoImons and
three Mormons were killed. 1t appears that
Williams, Sharp, Davis and other leaders, es-
capped A large number OF the nti-Mormons are
taken prisoners and are now confined and guard
ed in the Courthouse at Carthage.
The people had all fled from Carthage, Angus
ia, and other ant-Mormon towns, and carried
their families into the counties of Adams, Mar
4uette, Schuyler, and McDonough, and are beat
Ing up Tor volunteers in those countless to recruit
their forces, with which to renew the war; 1t is
unknown how many men they will be able to
raise; but 1t is believed that thew have so dis
graced themselves by the incendiary mode in
which they have carried on the war, that their
success Will not be very great. But if they sue
coed, another bloody battle NAV be expected in
the course of this week
Before this news had arrived the Governor had
issued call for 500 men TO quell the disturban-
ceS.
