inois, The excitement appears to be spread
ing, and at the last accounts had come to the
vsr.e of civil war. Doubt is thrown upon
the origin Of the disturbances as we stated
ihem-fron St. Louis paper yesterday, and
it Isl impossible at present TO say whether the
first violence came from Mormons or Anti

ton Of forces from far and near, and they de-
clare that they will not stop short ofIhe ex-
pulsion of every Mormon from Hancock coun-
ty-in which Nauvoo is situatod. Ii is said
Ihlt up to Sunday night about sixty houses
had bsen burnt down in Hancock and Adams
counties. Capt. Dunn is at the head Of
four or FIVE hundred Anti MormoDs from
Augusta, and expresses determination TO
protect the friends OF that party against the
Msrneus. Meanwhile, We have from Maui
700 proclamation Of the Sheriff Of Han
cock county, commanding the said rioters
snl other peace breakers to desist forthwith
dis perse and GO 10 their homes, under the pen
airy orihe laws; and calling upon the law
abiding citizens, as a posse cImitdtus TO give
their uutsd aid in suppressing the rioters, and
maintaining the supremacy Of the law.
