ITEMS FROM NAUvoo.-Wm. Backenstos late
Sheriff of Hancock County, has got INTO trouble
with the Saints and has been invited to leave Nauyoo
Brigham Young said to have charged him. upon the
stand few Sundays ago, with endeavoring to make a
speculation out OF the Church; with having
10 induced Emma Smith widow of the prophet to leave
the city and expose the Saints; with being correspon.
dent OF the Warsaw Signal and with seducing Mormon
women. Young mentioned no Names but it was dis
tinctly understood that he was speaking of VIM
Backenstos, and said.of the person The guessed he u
leave before week passed" Backenstos refuses to
leave.
VIM Smith was married few days since, his wife
having been dead eighteen days
Nrhe murder OF Hodges Nauvoo, is still involved in

the deed, which has been kept a secret.
The Signal says this CRIME has been charged by the
Young party upon the Smithtes and these last lay il
at the door Of the Youngitcs. The murder unqueston
Nauvoo-who were apprehcnsive that Hodges would
make disclosures which might not result comfortably
to them.
We stated in postscript last week. that the case of
the State vs. certain persons charged with the murder
Hyrum Smith was dismissed at the late special court in
Hancock. This was done the ground that no one
appeared to prosecute the case.
A late Nauvoo Neighbor contains q long article de-
signed to prove that the office Of Patriarch which Smith
assumed as being the sole survivor of his family IL OF

thousands in the church who have equal power give

article that its design strip Smith Of all power and
influence The belief seemed to exist that although
Smith has strong hold upon the affections and con

The SALTPETRE DrscUssIoN.-It is doubtless
highly desirable that the of the late dsas-
trous explosion which took place during the fire
should be ascertaned. People feel a strong curiosity
on the point, and to be wondered that they
do when the degree to which their personal safety
is involved in such occurrences is borne in mind
But at the same time there useless expenditure
OF words on the question of the power of sapetre
to produce explosion. We see one writer
coming out with his reasons in the affirmative and
another opposes him forthwith in no less plausible
and positive language. We hope that this will
not tend TO carry away the attention of the authori-
ties from the main enquiry, which is-What was
the explosive substance in this case1 If it be
thought necessary to the question test the explo-
sibillty of sapetre, the proper way is to have the
counsel of one Of our frstrate chemists at once;
few lines from good authority would save the
trouble of writing and reading whole chapters, that
at best must be unsatisfactory and proftess

MILITARY MovEMENTs.-The New Haven Greys
Captain Tolls, arrived yesterday morning, and pa
raded down Broadway to the Battery, escorted by
the Lafayette Fusileers. They mustered over forty
muskets, and were accompanied by their respective
bands, and presented quite soldierly appearance
The Hartford Light Guards, Captain T. H. Sey-
mour, also arrived yesterday They came last from
Albany. On account of the fatigue and indisposi-
ton OF some of the MEMBERS they took the remain
ing part OF the day to rest themselves. This morn
ing, at 10 o'clock they will visit the Arsenal after
which they will probably adjourn to the Park, where
they contemplate to have drill We cannot say
much about their skill in the ranks, not yet having
seen them under arms, but to judge by their general
appearance we doubt not that they will make hand
some military display.

DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.
GREATLY REDUCED PRICE FROM SIS TO SO PEI
ANNUM
SINGLE cory, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

SINGLE coYY, TwENTY-FIyE CENTS.
PROSPECTUS OF THE SEVENTEENTH VOLUME.
TINE price of the DEMOCRATIC REVIEW has
Il heretofore been too highnot for its size, cost,
and character, but for the means of tens of thou
sands of readers who would be glad to receive it,
and among whom it is highly desirable that i
should circulate. For the purpose, therefore, OF
largely widening the range of its usefulness and Of
multiplying the numbers of those to whom it may
be accessible, it has been determined, simultaneous
ly with the great reduction in the expense of the
postage, to reduce its subscription price also, from
.fpe to only three dollars; and when several unite
in subscriptions to low S2 SO, even to ~ 30
per annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but comparatively small dimnuon
of its expenses) involves, of course, entire sacr-
fee of profit upon it, unless compensated by vast
multiplication of its subscribers There will be al
the outset only a small reduction in its number OF
pages to be restored to its old number, with
Out increase of price, when the anticipated success
of the experiment shall justify it.
The portraits of distinguished democrats will be
continued, engraved in better and more costly style
than heretofore.
The postage will hereafter, for any distance, be
only fre and half cents it has heretofore been, for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents
We look for an extension of circulation to be
reckoned by tens Of thousands, the result and COM
pensation of this great reduction Of price. Every
friend of the work, and of the democratic principles
and cause is confidently appealed to, to exert him
self with active interest to procure 1t subscribers
both to extend its usefulness, and to carry it sue
cessfully through the crisis of this great reduction Of
its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance for the coming
year, will receive it, at the reduced rate, for yea'
and half
