THE EVACUATION eF NAUvoo-Su0ering
Of The ,Mormons. A letter in the ST. Louis Re.
publican, from Nauvoo, says:
At 3 o'clock, on Thursday, the posse march
ed into the city and encamped in the south end
of the town. Before they had arrived, how
ever, nearly all the Mormons and Jacks, agree
| ably to the stipulations, had left, by crossing
the river into Iowa.
! Several days previous Gov. Clarke, Of Iowa,
had called on a regiment of Volunteers, to be
stationed at Montrose, to prevent disturbances
on that side Of the Mississippi, and, as some
say, to pass along the Mormons as they would
cross over. Not having seen his proclamation
| can only state from rumor the design of this
movement
/ A Il the most obnoxious Jacks, and large
portion of the Mormons, had left the city pre-
| vious to the hour appointed for the troops to
enter, so that they marched III at three O'Clock
/ through city, whose streets were as desoate,
for the most part, as those of Naples after an
earthquake. Here and there might be seen
family of Mormons, who had not yet got their
effects together or who, relying on the Glenn
enCy Of the invader, yet Jagged behind; and
yundar, at long intervals, were to be seen, the
dOmicils OF those, who, under the ga"b-real or
feigned, of new citizenship, iUere expecting to
remain; bat of the one thousand houses in
Nauvoo, | think, it might be safe estimate,
to say that one hundr only are now tenanted.
A large number oftho vacant ones were made
50, however, by emigratons of tho Mormons
previous to the present Disturbances. The
Temple rears its tall form over the whole,
splendid monument Of folly. There let it re-
main, say, a three-fod monument to future
generations-the folly of religious fanaticism,
the nfamy Of Jack Mormonism, and the for
bearance of grossly insuted and abused peo-
pie.
IMPORTANT RumoR-T anpico 10 be .fitacked
The Washington correspondent Of the U. S.
Gazette states that the Cabinet held a session
of six hours on Saturday, at which all the
members attended, mr. Walker, who had left
the city for the North, having been recalled
by telegraph and several experienced officers
of the Army and Navy being present by nv-
sraton should be made on Mexico by our
Navy. The correspondent OF the Gazette af-
ter stating that the time for an attack on the
castle at Vera Cruz, in the opinion Of expert
enced men, had passed by, says;
at was, therefore, resolved that Tampico
shall be the object Of attack, and in accordance
with this decision, orders are to be transmitted
| for this enterprise. The reasoning on which
this decision is founded, is said TO be this: Cen
eral Taylor will probably make good his pro-
gress to Monterey, but between Monterey and
Saltillo, a distance Of some eighty miles, there
, is series Of dangerous deiles, where the troop:
NAV probably be exposed to harrassing and
weakening attacks from the enemy, if they
should be disposed to adopt the Guerilla mode
of warfare. Between SaltilO and ST. Louis
dc Potosi, there is an immense desert; and
even if our troops should be enabled to reach
that place, they must be so weakened aud d.
minished as to render it scarcely probable that
they will be in sufficient strength to present an
eifectual resistance in case Of any vigorous at
tack. five could have possession of Tampico,
we shall be able TO throw in that moral and
physical aid which may be sufficient, in such a
case to give effect to our military operations,
and thus save the army from disaster, This is
all that has transpred on the subject. After
the meeting of the Council to-day, large trans
fcrs were ordered to be made from the New
York banks to New Orleans"
