MORMON TROUBLES RENEWED. The ST.
Louis papers of the 10Th state that Nauvoo is
again the theatre of excitement and mob law
1t seems that while party of the Mormons
we're engaged in their harvest fields, they
were attacked by gang of the " Antics" and
most cruelty beaten, fayed almost to death
by hickory goads, and then thrown into a
ditch and covered with brush and dirt. The
outrage had terribly infamed the citizens
A body of about eighty DIormons, mounted
and armed, left Nauvoo in pursuit of the as
sailants. They succeeded in arresting five or
six, and lodged them in jail. A posse was in
pursuit of the remainder. No cause is as
signed for the outrage. On the 14th, band
of thirty or forty persons went to the house of
James Duncan, an old and respectable resi-
dent of St. Clair county, for the purpose of
lynching him. Not finding him at home,
they started in his pursuit, overlook and muir
dered him, in field near the road. More
than twenty shots took effect in his body,
whilst his head was completely riddled A
young lady who was in the buggy with Dun
can, joined him in making resistance when
first attacked,a and in so doing discharged pis-
tol shots at the assailants. She received
one ball, but escaped immediate death by flee
ing to the woods There is a mystery about
the whole affair, which is yet to be solved,

For tie Voice ofFreedom.
Our Railroad.

As the time is near when the first nstamend
is to be paid, we should be ready to meet itl
and show our confidence in the undertakings
otherwise we shall justify the taunts of the
Central folks that our subscribers were men
of straw, &c. Our Directors have been en-
incntly wise in delaying action until the ter
mination of the Cheshire road was settled.|
This delay proves that they mean to proceed
safely and surely in this great enterprise to
open highway forus to the world to bring
us within a few hours of Boston, and before
long to have branches down the Connecticut
River, to Whitehall and perhaps Saratoga.
This route must stand the best chance for the
long travel, and should the Ogdensburgh road
be built, the Central road will not be able to
monopolise it long. Mr. Gilbert's survey
shows that we have an excellent route, and I
hope that in locating we shall not spoil it by
running off the track to accommodate miner
interests. LIB.

RECKLEssNEss TO Loss OF LIFE ON
RAILROADS. 1t IS impossible, perhaps, to
estimate the number Of lives, which have
been sacrificed by the culpable neglect Of
railroad companies to take the necessary care
to prevent accidents. 1t is true, that they
use many precautions, but most OF them are
Of d" shittless" character, the necessity Of
which might have been obviated in the out
set by little more expenditure in the con-
struction of the tracks. For instance, how
many dangerous crossings there are, which
might have been rendered safe by the build
ing Of bridges. But bridges cost great deal
of MONEY, and what are lives, compared to
dollars
The State should not suffer these pcrilous
crossings to continue. Least Of all, will it be
cxcusable if it allows any more such to be
made. 1t is quite time that this matter were
attended to, and if the County Commission
ers, who have suffered this injury to be done
to the public roads under their charge, per-
nit repetition of it, in the constructions in
progress, or in embryo, the blood be on
their heads.
Our personal attention has been recently
called to this subject, by an examination of
the Lexington Railroad in some places
Where it passes the store of--RusSell, it is
extremely unsafe, and it is still more so where
it crosses the old Middlesex Turnpike, in
West Cambridge, just above the Foot of the
Rocks" so called. The descent to the spot
was always considerable, and very bad for
teams, especially in wet weather, as the
ground was naturally soft and muddy This
hollow was rendered still worse by the Rail
road Company, who scooped it four feet and
ten inches deeper A team stuck in this
hollow, or in the act of descending into it,
would find it almost impossible to avoid a
collision with the train, if one were at hand.
Frequent loss Of life to man and beast will
inevitably result from the crossing, if allow
cd to remain as has been contemplated, But
Il bridge, which would obviate all danger,
would cost, they say eighteen hundred dollars,
mn immense sum to be weighed against hu-
man life Bee.

SINGULAR CASE OF DROWNING. The
Cincinnati Gazette states that as the steamer
John j. Crittenden was approaching Paducah,
last Saturday evening, two men, Garland A..
Hardwick, of Newcastle, KY, and Nathaniel
Price Of st. Louis, were drowned, under the
following circumstances. Hardwick had APP
peared as if deranged almost from the time he
came on board, lis supposed to have been af-
tlicted with delirium tremens) and thought
there were men on board who desired to take
his life, and had made attempts to jump over
board. While standing near the wood pile,
he caught stick and was about to rush up the
cabin stairs to meet his fancied pursuers. Mr.
Price being on the spot at the moment, at
tempted to prevent him by taking hold of the
stick A short struggle ensued, when both
went overheard, directly in front of the wheel,
The boat was instantly stopped and the yawl
on its way to afford relief, even before the
passengers could reach the hurricane deck to
become witnesses of the scene. Nothing was
discovered, however, but two hats, which were
speedily recovered. Some minutes were af-
forwards spent in watching for the bodies to
rise, but it is next to certain that death must
have been produced by the striking of the
wheel at the instant of the fall overheard
Price was a very worthy man, recently mar
ried, and has left wife in ST. Louis. q
