LATER FROM TIE MORMON WAR-Prospects
Of Compromised sad picture! The latest
intelligence from the Mormon district in ILL.,
nois, affords prospect of an amicable adjust
ment of the unfortunate disturbances which
have recently been renewed between the Nor
mons and the Mormons. The editor of
the St. Louis Republican, writing from War
saw under date of the It'll inst says:-
The TigeEre Elders, or principal men OF the
Mormons, have addressed proposition to tho
Antics, which was received this evening, and
which, trust, may put final end to this war.
The Twelve propose that they will leave Nau-
VOC, and the county, next spring, provided hos
tilties are suspended, and the vexatious suits
which they charge the Antics to have instituted
against them, are withdrawn, and they are al
lowed peaceably to dispose of their property,
and prepare for their removal. They have APP
pointed committee of five, to correspond with
a committee Of an equal number on the part of
the old settlers This proposition is we'll re-
ceved by many of the citizens of Warsaw, and
if they do not reject it because Of the language
in which it is addressed to them, (they thinking
it disrespecttul,) it will most likely lead to
settlement, and to the removal of the Mormons
from among them. 1t is very desirable that
this should be the result.
The editor in describing visit he had Just
made through the "infected district" says:
The antl-Mormons, as the best means of
driving the Mormons away have resolved to
burn down all their dwellings,, but at the same
time manifest proper anxiety not TO nilict in
jury upon the sick, and not to destroy any
movable property, or any of the grain or
crops. In tins they are careful, and, believe,
where the coDlrary has been tne case, it has
been accidental. On arriving at place called
Strngto"u-a Number Of Mormon residences
being built along the road, each having attach
ed to it small iarm--in the lane in trout of
one Of these buildings were about twenty arm
cd men, on horseback, drawn up. Within, the
family, consisting Of the parents and a number
OF daughters and sons, from about eighteen
years down, assisted and urged on by two or
three OF the armed posse, were carrying and
throwing out every movable thing. The ia
mly were working with great assiduity and in
dustry, and it was painful beyond conception
to witness them tolling thus to prepare their
O,cn house tor the sacrifice Still they did it with
mole composure than | could have command |
ed. Except the mother and one or two of the |
youngest children, the rest worked with even
forced appearance OF pleasure, and would re-
ply, or laugh with seeming freedom, to the
jess and jokes of the men who urged on the
work. AT length, everything was removed
even to the flooring plank-a fire was then
kindled in one corner, by the aid of clapboards
and other dry combuslibles, and in ten minutes
the flames danced over the labor of months
In this way, the party served six or seven
buildlngs-ot the number, handsome frame
house. AS passed one place, solitary fe-
male apparently past the meridian of life, was
walking alone, with mournful steps and down
cast eyes, around the smoking heap which con-
stituted the ruins of her home suppose that
it was her only shelter. The sight might have
drawn pity from Steiner material than | can
boast of. One man who was burnt out had
twelve in family; his house, of hewed logs, had
been recently put up, and u smile of Joy and
triumph iof moment lit up the faces of his
family, at the suggestion that the logs being
green, would not burn; but it was only momen-
tary, for soon it was all in blaze.
From this place, the armed party passed over
to the Bear Creek Settlement, and soon the
ascending columns Of black smoke told that
the work OF destruction was going on. In va
rious other directions the ascending smoke
gave notice that other parties were out. As
lar as l can ascertain, from free conversation
with persons engaged, there have been destroy
ed-including those burned in the Morley Set
tlement-bctWeen 10 and 100 houses. All
have been swept in the Morley Precinct, and
between % and 80 ruins may be seen in a short
ride in this vicinity. In many cases, the loss
has not been great, but in deprivation imposed
on the unhappy residents, it has been heavy.
MELANCHOLY DEATH. Some days AFRO,

horse and hitchod him TO fence rail, when,
becoming frightened, he pulled the rail oil the
