Tbs editor Of the Hancock Eagle, at Nauvoo
says, in his paper Of the 10th instant that he had
an interview with Mr.. s. Chamberlain, who has re-
Gently arrived at that point from the Mormon camp
at Council Bluffs.
The company in advance, in which are the
Treipe, have a train of about one thousand wagons
and were encamped on the east bank OF the Mis-.
sour river, in the neighborhood of Council Bluffs
The carpenters were busily engaged in constructing
Hat boats to be used for errying over the EN- grant
and 1t was expected that this party would cross ia
about ten days.
The second company had encamped temporarily
at station No. 2, which has been christened Mount
Pisgah. They mustered about three thousand
strong, and were recruiting their cattle preparatory
to a fresh start. A third company had halted for a
similar purpose at Garden Grove, the head wa
tiers Of Grand river, where they have put in about
two thousand acres corn for the benefit Of the per-
pie in general. Between Garden Grove and the Mis-
sssippi river Mr.. Chamberlain counted over one
thousand wagons en- route to join the main bodies
in advance.
The whole number of teams attached to the Nor
mon expedition is about three thousand seven hun
dred and 1t Ia estimated that each team will average
at least three persons, and perhaps four. The
whole number Of souls now the road may be set
down in round numbers at twelve thousand. From
two to three thousand have disappeared from Maui
VOC in various directions. Many have left for
Council Bluffs by the way Of the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers others have dispersed to parts UNI
known, and about eight hundred or less still remain
in Illinois This comprises the entire Norman
population that once fourished in Hancock county
In their palmy days they probably numbered be-
tween fifteen and sixteen thousand souls, most Of
whom are now scattered upon the prairies, bound
for the Pacific slope of the American continent.
Mr.. Chamberlain reports that previous to his
leaving, four United States military officers had ar
rived at the Mount Pisgah camp, for the purpose
of enlistng five hundred Mormons for the Santa
Fe campaign. They were referred to headquarters
at Council Bluffs, for which place they Immediately
set out. 1t was supposed that the force would be
enrolled without delay. If so, it will furnish Col
,Kearney with regiment of we'll disciplined SOL
diers, who already prepared to march.

WAR ROCKETS.

10 he Hon. Secretary OF the Many:
In all ages and countries, wise rulers, in order to
shun impending dangers, or to overcome almost
insurmounable difficulties, have consulted men of
intelligence, experience, and ingenuity, to the
best means to attain their object, and have followed
the advice when given with persevering confidence
that commanded success.
You have followed this plan by collecting as a
board, the intelligence of the navy for the purpose
Of consulting 1t on important questions connected
with the naval service. Permit me, sir, to draw
the attention of yourself and this board of officers
to the rockets improved and perfected by Alvin
c. Goell. These projecties, manufactured by his
skill in prompt, safe, and cheap manner, can be
thrown to an immense distance, and far outrang-
ing any made in Europe, penetrate deeply and ex-
plode, tearing fearfuly everything within their Vi
cinty. Already has the attention of Congress been
called to the importance and necessity of a corps of
rocketeers for the army, formed on the basis of Mr.
Goell's inventions. The following extract from the
House debates, will show what the Military Com
mittee thought upon the subject
"Mr Burt then explained the reason for adding
eleventh section to the bill authorizing the organ
izaton of a company of rocketeers. We had pre-
pared at the arsenals rockets of great power and
efficacy, and in the improvements of modem warfare
this had been found to be an engine more destructive
than even field artillery 1t capable of almost
indefinite multiplication, insomuch that eltrain-
ed company of rocketeers in the field might be rem
dered equal to a battery Of hundred guns. This
section placed it within the discretion of the Secreta-
ry of War to add such company"
1t has been proved these missiles can be made as
effective on board ships and boats on land. The
greatest damage at the battle of ST. Jean de Acre,
was caused by war rockets; and on the Parana
rockets thrown from the French vessels destroyed
schooner of the enemy, when round shot or shell
would have failed. These rockets are portable and
can be discharged with great rapldty and precision
through the air; their constant and terrible expo-
sions In falling, and the impossibty of approach
ing them, render them truly terrific. The machines
for making these projectles, invented and patented
by A. C. Goel, have already been constructed, and
are in operation at both the United States ar
senal and navy-yard at Washington. Experiments
have been made which have fully proved their udIi-
ton Of yourself and the board to the fact that such
missiles can be made, and may be re-eminently
useful.

But should this bill fail now, the bill Of 1912 must
remain ill after the presidential election This
administration cannot carry IL; and our friends will
not only have failed to do their duty to the country
but TO themselves and their government, and one Of
the great objects Of this government must be de-
fealed; and we shall have panic, excitement, and
violence for the next three years. The fair pros.

amongst them, and many suffering from extreme

that time, wagons, laden with provisions and stores
were still going out to the prairies. Nothing new
had transpired about the fort, aud nothing Of i'm
portance had been received from Colonel Kearney
or the troops under his command. A company OF
volunteers, from Monroe county, under the COM
mand of one Geddings, were encamped on the 0p-

arrival Of Startling Price, in whose regiment they
