The .Moymons-.4 Threatened Hor-
ror- The papers from the West, and
especially the Warsaw Signal, contin-
ue to give accounts of alleged outrages
by the Mormons. In some cases too,
we regret to perceive that threats Of
vengeance and determination are held
! out. For example, the Signal of the
10th says:
mir. Madison, printer and a gen.
tleman, was last week driven from
Nauvoo, by band of Ruffians with
knives in their hands. Their mode
of proceeding was to whistle, boot,
threaten and dog him wherever he went.
Master Foster, lad, whose only
crime is he is the brother Of Doctor
Foster, was last week, taken by force
from the residence of C. Ivens, by a
band civilians and escorted from the
city-they kicking and cutting him oc-
casionally for amusement in addition to
their usual insulting aud menacing pro-
ceedings.
/ Mr.. VIM. Marks visited Nauvoo,
from Fort Madison on business, [hav-
ing large amount of property in the
city, he was called on instanter, by
| mob, and threatened that if he did not
leave by night he should be tarred and
feathered.'
The Cincinnati Gazette, abiding to
these reports, says:-sPrivate accounts
represent the feelings of the people a.
