ol Tue place, ana That they should be
admitted into the town by JD7ies. The
proposal was submitted to the new cit
liens; and as they agreed that it might
create uneaslness and tend to breach
OF the peace, it was rejected.
1t having been announced that some
three or four hundred men were assem-
bled in arms at Golden's Point, it was
suggested that new committee should
visit them and endcayor to induce them
to dispense; this was objected to at
first, but it was finally agreed upon that
delegation should meet them as citi-
Gems ofthe county.
The new citizens composing this
body visited the hostile camp this
morning, and returned in the afternoon
with proposals of compromise, which
were again rejected, on the ground
that the new settlers could not consis-
tently negotiate with an armed force
IN the attitude assumed by the party at
GoIden's Point, inasmuch as no prom
Use could be had that all hostile demon
STATIONS would finally cease in case
the demands of the invading force
were admitted.
A new committee was then ins.ruc-
ted to wait upon them, with request
from the new settlers that they would
dispense.
In the meantime, pending these ne
gotlatlons, general arming has ia
ken place All manner of weapons
have been collected and put in order
Even some ofthe females are provided
with guns.
| One of the propositions which has
been offered is, to send force into the
city strong enough to put all the re-
naming Mormons on the Iowa side of
the river to fight, Or at any rate carry
/ them out ofthe county. This the people
oflowa and the surrounding counties'ob-
ject to, as it will surely entail upon 9th
[ er communities the burden of hundreds
of paupers who will not have a roof to
shelter them, or food to subsist upon.
1fhostiities against the place should
cease, they can sell out temple and
| ally IN few weeks, and wind up Nor
monsm in Illinois forever. These are
the views of the new citizens who have
spoken on the subject, and the only
rational position which can be taken.
Our reporter has just returned from
the Iowa side Of the river, and repre-
sents the condition of some of the
MoImons as deplorable. They have
no shelter whatever, and but scanty
supply of food. Women and chill
dren are liable to all the distressing con-
sequences Of exposure to the weather,
and ifstarvation is averted disease will
finish the work. AS one ofthe speak
ers. remarked, "the suferings Of the
starving Irish cannot be exceeded by
that which we have in our own land,
for the Irish have rootto die under"
Sunday mornig, 8 o'clock. The
city is in an uproar. The bell has
struck to call every man to arms, and
men ofmlght are moving hastily TO the
muster ground. The force sworn in
to act under the sheriff exceeds 600
men. They will move in two or three
hours towards the hostile camp.
The issue is made and in few hours
the result will probably be known.
Captain Clifford, formerly of Quin-
cy, who has been deputized by the
sheriff to act, and who heads the new
citizens, desires US to say that be is
the friend ofpeace, and has done all
in his power to make peace, but in
the present emery ency, both himself
and the new citizens generally think
proper to call upon the friends of JUS
tice and civil liberty, in Quincy and
elsewhere, to lend them their counte-
nance and assistance in the protection
Of their property.
P. S. The Nauvoo force is now
marching in a body to the verge of the
city, with the star-spangled banner at
their head, and to the music of Cyan
kee Doodle.''

Sunday, - o'clock, m.- We are
again. called on to announce that the
county Of Hancock, is the theatre of
war. Two opposite and hostile forces
are now in arms, and unless third
party intervenes, collision is inevita
BILE.
On Friday last a large number of cit
liens assembled II Carthage, armed;
and after conference with commit
tee of the new citizens, resolved to
march within four miles Of Nauvoo,
encamp and negotiate further on the
propriety Of entering the city.
Accordingly, yesterday, large
