From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRs.--yNormons and
ti-yMormons-Hous Burning and Violence.-
Hancock county, Illinois, the Mormon settlement,
is again the scence of bloody violence. The par.
tIculars are given in the following from the St
Louis Republican, of the 18th and 10th Instant
WARSAW, llth September,
10 O'Clock. A. M.
MEssRs. EDrToRs:-On Tuesday morning last
10Th inst.) an attack was made school house in
Rocky Run Precinct, by some persons unknown,
but supposed to be Mormons, in which there was
at the time of the attack convention of Anti.Mor-
mons, or old settlers Of the country. The door and
windows ofthe house we've completely riddled by
the shots fired by the assailants. The attacking
party approached under cover of the woods and
bushes, and fired one round and fled. No person
was injured, but many, presume, were much
frightened at this sudden and unexpected assault.
The old settlers in that section of the country arm
ed themselves for their defence, and if they are
backed by their friends In other parts of the
try, blood will flow. By messenger just in, who
came to purchase lead, powder, f1ints, &C., learn
that four buildings were burned down last night,
and one man shot and very badly wounded, but not
mortally. Yesterday thirteen wagons, loaded with
furniture, were seen vending their way to the city
of refuge, (Nauvoo.)
2 O'CLOCK, p. M-Another messenger has just
arrived from the country, aad reports that large
bodies OF Mormons patrolling the southern part
OF the country, and that number of families from
the interior are on their way to Warsaw seeking
protection. lean form no opinion what the result
will be. The storm may pass over without any
serious consequence, and there may be much de-
struction of property, and the loss Of many lives,
before peace and quiet shall be fully and perma-
nently established in this unhappy country.
Respectfully yours, &c.

@The st. Clairsville Gazette says:
"The Coons Of Monroe CO. have taken
up Lawyer Hunter for the Legislature,
to run against Farmer Yost. the demo-
cratic nominee. That hunt will be a
short one, and the coon will be treed
and chained at home." Certain.

No PARTY.-Whenever the wings
bringout a candidate in Monroe, the
cry runs from one end of the county 10
the other, "no party! no party!?'-
Should they, however, succeed, every
wing print in the State would cry out,
"victory! victory!! Dark Monroe is
regenerated and disenthralledw We
therefore ask our citizens to be up and
doing, and teach these no party wings
a lesson that they will not soon forget.

Ii, as the Chronicle says, there is ssan

If, as the Chronicle says, there is san
overpowering tory faction that contin-
ue with a high hand to gull the people
of this country" we would ask, where
is it, if it is not in that party, who have
ever taken grounds with the enemies OF
this country, and now sympathize with
the Mexlcans, and oppose our right to
the territory of Oregon? Before the
Chronicle charges others with toryism
let him clear his own party of the foul
stain.
The Chronicle insinuates that the
democratic party supports such men
as McNulty, this we deny. Is there a
single democratic paper in the State
that has taken grounds with McNulty?
No. And furtherif Yontz and the late
Board of Public Works were or are
guilty of any embezzlement OF Public
funds we say do wn with them. But
we want the evidence before condemn
ing any man orset olmen. AS to their
guilt or innocence we know nothing;
and it would have been acting the part
of honest men, had the wings suspend.
ed their judgment against the Board of
Public Works until the report of the
committee appointed by the last legis-
lature to examine into their transac-
tons. But no, the Chronicle had been
kicked by the State ourna and he must
needs bark.
McNuIty it is true, embezzled some
of the public funds, and as soon as it
was known, the democratic members
Of Congress turned him out of Office
Now we wish 10 state case. Nc

without the shadow Of justice, and con-
trary to a contract in relation to the
public printing. McNulty is turned out
of office and discarded by all honest
men-the whig members Of. Congress
are, some of them, reelected TO Office
and some are again candidates before
the people. Now we ask, in the name
of common sense and common justice,
where is the difference in these two
cases. Are not the whig members Of
Congress who made this appropriation
as guilty of as great an outrage upon
the people as McNulty? Most IN
doubtedly, and should receive the same
condemnation, if not by law, by public
sentiment. Will the Chronicle think
of this, and then call upon the friends
"of economy in the Public Expendi-
tures," to "rally to the support OF Mr..
Hunter"
The Chronicle says "the battle is not
always to the strong;" this is true; and
we further say that the battle is genor-
ally infavor of the right, and therefore
the democrats of Monroe will rally for
Mr.. Yost, and once more be victorious.
Mr.. Hunter we have no doubt will
''get vote that will give an assurance
that his efforts have' not done any
good for the cause of whiggery; and
that he has not "lhrown himself in q
position to disseminate sound Repub-
lican doctrines"

EMr. Patton, and others who are
wings, are so afraid that democratic
paper will be sustained in this county
that they have had their tickets printed
in Belmont, while others have made
sacrifices to sustain paper in Mon
roe. Boilers and wings appear to be
less generous than the Abolitionists,
who have uniformly, so far as we know,
had their tickets printed in this county.
ToBAcco.--The last years crop Of
tobacco grown in this county, we have
heard estimated at 10 thousand hogs

the true amount. The present years

LArER--A SKIRMIsH-We learn that on the
evening OF 18th inst, party of Anti-Mormons,
numbering some fifty men, near Green Plains,
about IL miles from Warsaw, engaged in the work
of destroying houses, were suddenly surrounded
by company of 100 armed Mormons, who fired
few shots, which killed two horses and wound

The Quincy Courier of the 18th, says "The
Antics sent down to this city yesterday from War
saw, for a supply of powder and lead"
The "Warsaw Signal" apaper conducted with
ability, is doing half the mischief 1t Itreprobates
compromise--urges murder and rapine-and COM
forts tselfin giving such attrocious counsel with
the self-conhdence, that 1t is the people!
The editor of the st. Louis Republican, who is
at Warsaw, says in that paper Of the 10th:
Numbers Of people, especially women and chill
dren, are leaving the country as fast as they can
get away. found number, with their baggage
and household affairs, on the bank of the river
Thus far the Mormons have fled in every instance,
making little or no resistance; but they cannot flee
much further, and they must either stand and fight,
shortly, or leave the county.
