mons removed, and this will be done
as soon as it possibly can, consistent
with the dictates of humanity. They
declare that the number of Mormons
yet among them, is inconsiderable
when compared with the number who
have gone, and that they have the pow.
er and the will to remove them as soon
as they manifest a disinclinatlon to re-
move themselves. This they have moi
yet done.
Having stated at much length the
reason for their action, they declared
"That lnasmuch as our o wn interests
are interviewer with the safety of all
the property in the city, we are deter
mined that not one stone Of public edl
fee shall be illegally or wantonly re.
moved as long as we have an arm tc
prevent it, and if (as it has been openly
and publicly asserted at different times
and IN various places) the city Of Nau.
VOC is doomed to be burnt down and
laid desolate, we are resolved to fall
with 1t. The armed force which has
been arrayed within five or six miles ol
the city, adjourned yesterday with the
declared intention of appealing to The
"nine surrounding counties" for rein.
forcements; and if the assertion of no
inconsiderable portion Of them can be
believed, we are at this moment in dan.
ger OF an invasion, having for its avow.
ed objec: the destruction of the city.
In this emergency the new citizens.
in council assembled, now appeal to
the friends Of order throughout the
State, and have instructed a committee
to visit the nine counties which were
represented IN the Carthage conven-
ton last fall, to lay before the citizens
thereof true statement of the case.
and solicit their cooperation with us
in our endeavors to restore tranquility.
We have declined, absolutely, to nego-
tiate with any body of armed men as
sembled without the sanction Of law,
and only claim right, in common with
other honorable citizens, of managing
our own local affairs and of an exemp-
ton from the dangers of illegal vio-
lence.
In conclusion, we beg leave to eau
ton the people against the msrepre-
sentatons which have been circulated
for the purpose OF exciting a prejudice
against the city and its new inhabit-
ants. The charge that a portion of
the new citizens are endeavoring to
prevent, or have persuaded many Of
the Mormons from leaving, is untrue.
1t is equally untrue that any of the
Mormons who have left are returning
to the city. They are still leaving as fast
as the ferries can transport them across
the river, and have manifested no in
tention whatever ofre-es ablishing them
in Nauvoo. Such reports are probably
raised for the purpose of adding to the
excitement, and it is to be hoped that
the people will not suffer themselves to
be imposed upon by similar fctions.

ErlroRs OF THE PlcAYUNE: GENTLE.
MEN:--News reached here few mo-
ments since, or rather | should say a
rumor, though 1t came through chan
mel that is deserving of confidence
viz: Maiamoras, that Gen. Alvarez had
declared in favor Of Herrera; that Gen.
Garcia died short time since of wounds
received | know not when, and that
Gen. Torrejon (who commanded the
two thousand crack troops, who took
Captains Thornton and Hardy, with six
ty-three men) is in condition which
allows no hope OF his recovery. He
was wounded in some of the engage
ments with our troops in this vicinity.
Arista's army is in sad condition, a
severe fever prevailing among his men,
whichis rapidly reducing their numbers.
Gov. Henderson, commander of the
Texan volunteers, has this moment ar
rived at this post, and is now receiving
salute of cannon. The governor, a
tall, solder-like gentleman, of middle
age, appears to be in fine spirits. He
is accompanied by small body Of fine
looking Texan rangers. A detachment
OF his troops are now encamped about
six miles from this post, on the road to
Matamoras. 1t is understood that they
will Immediately march some distance
on The road to Monterey, and Mr..
Kendall, of your "family," will accom-
pany them. go to Matamoras to-
night. from which place shall he able
to tell you more about the movements
