AFFAIRS In HANCOCK.

The Nauvoo Eagle, of Friday last, says that M @.
Brayman, esq, distinguished lawyer of Spring
field, Illinois, had arrived there, clothed with
thority from the governor to examine into the pres
| ent difficulties. He visited the encampmen Of the
anti Mormons, and the Eagle says, 'Ewe know he
does not believe that they are assembled only for
| legal purposes" The Quincy Wing, of Wedncs-
day, says, that MIR. Brayman despatched by
the governor to visit the anti-Mormon camp and
Nauvoo, and to take the commission of Parker
from him, and to act in his place. 1t adds: eve
hope Mr.. Brayman may be successful in his mis-
sion, and succeed in recoaciling the difhcultiesar
resting all offenders in Nauvoo, and once more re-
store order to the county" The same paper says,
that MIR. Brayman was sent to Nauvoo by the gov
ernor at the instance of DR.. Irwin and Mr.. Hart
well, who went to him as a deputation from the
new citizens of Nauvoo, with request that Major
Parker and his posse might be withdrawn.
Major Parker has issued another proclamation
dated on the 9Th inst, in which, anticipating meet
ing of citizens of Adams county, to assist the anti
Mornons, he denies that Col. Chittenden was inve-
gIed to Nauvoo and then imprisoned He says that
Mr.. Chitenden went there of his own accord that he
arrived after breakfast on Sunday last, in company
with Rev. Mr.. Babbitt that he requested an interview
with him, which was being had, when an alarm,
which was the signal for all persons to take up
and defend the place. given; and that, thinking
it unsafe for them to return, he ordered his men to
take charge OF them, and see that they were not
harmed. When the alarm was over and his forces
had returned home, he appointed guard for them,
and sent them home not having detained them over
six hours, and that not upon any charge, but that
they might be protected from any insult by reason
| Of the alarm that had been given. He undertakes
to explain, also, statements in relation to quarrels
which Mr.. Hartwell and Or, irwin had with other
men, not Mormons, and says that he offered to grant
Mr.. Hartwell protection, which he declined; and
| that he heard nothing moro OF Mr.. III. until he
learned that he had gone to Springfield He declares
that an armed force is not necessary to secure the
execution of writs at Nauvoo that he can and will
aid and assist officers in executing all legal wrts IN
their hands, soon the unlawful assemblage near
Carthage shall dispense, and commands the citizens
of other counties stay home, and not TO take part
in the disturbances which agitate the county Il is
presumed that Mr.. Broyman has supersedtd Major
| Parker in the regulation Of affairs at Nauvoo,
though of this we have no positive knowledge
John Carlin, a letter from Quincy states, is moi
the son Of Ex-Governor Carlin, al we had stated.
