St. Louis Republican writing from Nauvoo under date
of the 18th inst, says have but time to write you
line in relation to the difficulties herethey indeed
alarming. On Wednesday night the entire crop raised
this year by Mr. Fl Marsh consisting Of stacked wheat
principally, consumed; also, the bar and its con-
miles south of Warsaw. The prisoners taken by the
new citizens account Of the alleged riot OF saturday
ast-seventeen in number-are still in custody. Each
party hold prisoners HOSTAGES the Antics have only
fve-each demand exchange. can hardly tell
where the matter will end now. The coming election

indicates different results The New Citizens lack con-
cert of action and their identification with the Momons

county that i'll be difficult to allay. Common cause
with the Mormons, made by the New Citizens can pro-
duce no good feeling towards them here.
