ed to their homes. The Signal also states,
that not a person from Warsaw or Certhage
were engaged in burning Mormon dwellings,
and yet they are made to suffer for the impru-
dence of a few men-many of whom are cit
liens ofthis country. The Signal mentions,
that a party Of emigrants from Sangamon on
their way to Iowa, while passing Though the
northern part of the county, were stopped by
some armed Mormons, and their wagons ia
ken into a ravine and overhauled, the villains
threatening to shoot them. After %tormenting
them for some time, they were permitted 10
pass on. The roads in the north part of the
county, are guarded by armed bands ofMor-
mons, and all who passed were stopped and
insulled. In the north of Hancock, most of
the old citizens had taken refuge in Iowa.
Pluudering parties were out in that section,
and carrying off the property of the inhabi-
Iitents TO Nauvoo. The extra further states
that a party of eighteen men belonging to
Camp Creek, left Carthage for the south OF
the county last week, and have not been
heard from since 1t is feared that they have
sheared the fate of Worreii and Nc Brat
