MONS, OF ARTICLES OF COMPROMISE
THEIR ENCAMPMENT THREE MILES FROM
NAUVOO-REStG NATION OF GEN. SINGLE
ToN-COL. BRooKMAN IN COMMAND.
We are indebted to the st, Louis Repub-
can for an extra containing variety Of in
terestng intelligence from the ''seat Of war"
in and about Nauvoo A letter in the Repub-
lican, dated Carthage, SEPT. 20th, says
Enclosed send you copies of the correspon-
dence between the Mormons and the Anti
Mormons, in relation to a compromise, and al
so the articleSf6f agreement, which have been
kindly furnished me by Gen. Singleton. The
agreement entered into by Gen, Singleton and
others on behalf of the Anti-Mormons, as
wrote you yesterday, was rejected.
Cen Singleton toilhdrclv from all connexon
with the Anti-Mormons on the rejection of the
compromise, and Col. Brockman, Of Brown CO.
was elected to take the command. Before Col.
Brockman consented to assume this station, he
required sacred pledge from the officers and
men who elected him, that in case they were
permitted to march into Nauvoo without oppo-
sition, no injury should be done to person or
property; that his orders should be implicitly
obeyed in all things; that no violence of any
kind should be permitted, no property destroy
ed, and no blood be spilled. Upon these con-
dtions, and these alone, would he consent to
become their leader. But in case the Nor
mons showed resistance, the consequences
would be upon their heads. The pledge was
given, but whether it will be adhered to or not
time will determine.
| understand it is determined by the Anti
Mormons to remove their camp this morning
10 within about three miles of Nauvoo. 1t is
reported here, that the Mormons are leaving
Nauvoo rapidly, and will not probably show
fight
spent most of the day yesterday in the Anti
Mormon camp, learning all | could in relation
to the difficulties here. Every man had the
story of his grievances and wrongs to relate,
and if half they say is true about the Mormons
their suiferings have been ntolerable, and they
are not to blame for seeking redress. A rela-
ton OF them would be repetition of what has
already been over and over published to the
world. There are men in camp of all ages
akdrconditions, old and young, rich and poor.
There are many old grey-headed men, some
OF whom are not less than seventy years of age.
They have been on camp duty nearly three
weeks, away from their families and homes,
negIecting every thing else. | think this speaks
louder than words OF the causes which bring
them together If this effort fails it is the de-
termination of the old citizens to leave the
county. .. .s .....
Many Of those who left camp day before yes
terday returned yesterday, and their force will

were struck last night, about two o'clock, and
they have marched for their new camp near
Nauvoo. It is also reported that the Mormons
are determined to fight. presume a Demon
stretion will be made tomorrow.
The articles of peace, which were rejected
as stated in the above letter, provided for the
removal of the Mormons from Nauvoo within
60 days-the stationing of 25 men there by
the Government to preserve peace, and the ap'
