NAUVOO MATTERS.


NAUVo0 MATTERS.
MORE HosrmIrIEs.--The "new eitizensp held
meeting at Nauyoo on the 18th inst, and resoy we'd
that II was nexpedient for a posse 10 march into
Nausoo, 70 arrest offenders. We suppose the reso-
luton has IN view the Of Pickett, who refused
70 surrender himself to the officer charge of rob
berry and false Imprisonment. This, in eonnexion
with the fact, that three dray loadsn of shot, and
no one knows how much powder, were recently
shipped in ST. Louis for Nauvoo, on the Western
Belle, would lead TO the supposition that there will
be serious difficulty in the city, when the officer
goes IN with his posse TO take Pickett
PosrscRrr.-By John II. Mitchell, esq, who
came down from Hancock, on Sunday last, we have
a few additional Items from that quarter.
We learn that the barn Of Captain Wagener, at
Monticello, was burned with all its contents on FRI
day night last, while he absent at Warsaw. The
incendiares were traced by their wagon tracks
from the direction of Nauvoo to which, after the act
was consummated, the wagon again returned. Capt.
w. Is widely known a prominent anti. Mormon
On Saturday he went into Nauvoo, il possible, to
trace out the villains but the result Of his visit was
not known.
On Friday evening the anti Mormons Of Nauvoo
held meeting, and while assembled Pickett, with
crowd Of armed Mormons, walked in with the in.
teniion OIL breaking IL up. He was requested 10
withdraw, but peremptorily refused. The meeting
thsn adjourned TO meet the next evening, when il
again assembled with double the numbers OF the pre-
yious evening" the people apparently indignant al
the domineerins course OF the Mormons. Resolu-
tons were adopted for their mutual protection from
the depreda.ions Of the Mormons in the crisis which
| Is approaching.
The feeling Of bitterness towards the Mormons is
deepening and extending in the surrounding coun.
ues, and movement attended with some important
results may be daily expected.-Quiney Wig.

| SIDE.
The Hancock Eagle, published at Nauvoo, saws
that the Regulators from Green Plains and Pontoo-
sue swore out writs, thirty more miles from Nau.
VOC, against certain citizens in order to get them in
| their hands and take their lives. We quote from
that paper of the l4th inst:
About a hundred or more of the Pontoosuc Regu-
| lators, under McAuley and Brate, who swore ou
the writs, were lying in wait in large hazle thicke
IN Green Plains to assassnate those whom they ex.
Pected TO be in charge Of the officer.
| Information having been privately sent 10 Mr.
Pickett from Pontoosuc Of the deliberate intentior
OF McAuey and his gang to take his life on the road
| from Nauvoo, he refused to leave the city. Thii
information came from one Of the gang whom Mr.
Pickett had shown some kindness towards.
Capt. Clifford and Mr.. Furness started for Greer
Plains, with their counsel and witnesses, not think
ing possible that such outrage as lying in wal
TO murder those whom they had issued writs agains
| would be attempted, even by the Regulators. A
| the time Capt. Clifford started he was in feebl
health, and at Warsaw he became so i'll that h
could proceed no further. The counsel and wit
nesses proceeded on the usual route towards Gree
Plains; and when within a short distance Of thei
destination, we're arrested by a large body o
armed men suddenly coming out in the roat
from adjoining thickets, who made vociferou
inquiry for Clifford, Furness, and Pickett !!
and showed great evaporation at their not ben,
present. They said they would not molest tn
counsel and witnesses, but that those under arres
should be taken into their possession. Williams
McAuley, and the whole 'Pontoosuc gang, thel
went on towards Esquire Banks residence, furiou
at not getting those arrested into their hands. II
about two hours after, Mr.. Furness arrived, in com
pahy with Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Aldrich, o
warsaw, and one two other gentlemen. III
waived all examination, and gave bail on the spot
anxious to leave such crowd Of fends. Their
was manifestation made to lunch him, but deter
minaton expressed, on his part, to die rather thar
submit to any indignity, backed by the counsel an,
witnesses who went with him, who were resolved
| to share his fate, the mob desisted.
The Regulators are trying to manufacture excite
/ ment from the refusal of Mr.. Pickett to obey the
writ sworn out by McAuley. He is positively in
/ formed by those who know the intention of ths
Regulators 10 despatch him, by secretly shooting
from behind the hiding places they have selected fo
that purpose, If he is known to start the road fo
Green Plains. He has offered to 90 before any JUS
tice of their choice, in Warsaw or Carthage, ant
| meet all the writs they may see proper to issu,
against him, but says he does not think that he il
either morally or legally bound to place himself in
the hands Of those whose known object is to mur
der him. Captain Clifford, Furness, and all Others
OF our citizens resolved not to go to that neigh
borhood again. for the reasons as il was prov
dential that they escaped before--Colonel Roose.

No one but those who reside here can have tho
east idea of the crueties and oppression which oul
| citizens labor under Every interference that car
possibly be done to prevent the sale Of Mormon
property is constantly going on.
