THE HANCOCK MoB.-It seems thai
Governor Ford of lIinious has at last de-
termined on active measures TO suppress
the anti.Mormon mob in Hancock County.
The Illinouis State Register says, that
pursuant 10 the Governors proclamation
of the 18th nit, a company of volunteers
to the number of one hundred and eleven
was raised in that city for an expedition
to Nauyoo. Two brass six.pounders,
well appointed and manned by skiIful ar.
tilerists, accompany the expedition. As
soon as the troops were enrolled, prepara-
tons for their departure were made with
utmost dispatch, and they left town forth.

IN person, and it is his determination to
put an end, at all hazards, 10 the violence
and outrage that have brought disgrace
upon that State.

We give the subjoined article from the
Louisville Journal, as showing how y man
VINO has soul, though bitter parlizan,
can speak Of political adversary in arms
for his country. Instead Of sneerng and
disparaging his reputation, at every ina.
gined opportunity, even the savage Prem.
lice takes an honorable pride in the repu-
taton of his gallant countryman, and de-
tends it with enthusiasm. How infinite
y more manly is such a course than the
carping, sneering, pitiful maIignity, shown
by few Wings, for political purposes to
col jeff. Davis.
The Journal gives the following notice
to a preposterous report some letter writ
er has put in circulation:
GENERAL BUrLER.-In oar paper Of
yesterday, we said that If the statement
of the letter writer 10 the Baltimore Sun,
in regard to the unauthorized charge of
gen. Butler upon the Mexicans was true,
he was censurable for not combining more
judgment and discretion with his undoubt,
ed personal courage. 1t is evident, how.
ever, from various considerations, and es-
pecialIy from gen. Taylor's official report,
that The statement is not true--lhat there
is not one word of truth in it-that it was
written for no other purpose than to make
up an exciting letter. Gen. Butler had
express orders to make the charge he did
make, and he performed the hazardous du-
ty with his Characteristic chivalry.
Unquestionably, gen. Butler is some.
what reckless where only his personal
safety is concerned, but no officer, if we
nre rightly informed, is more regardluI
of the lives of the men entrusted to his
charge. He leads his followers unflinch.
ingly into all necessary perils, but into no
other We were never proud of him as a
representative Of Kentucky at Washing.
ton city, but we are proud of him as a re-
preventative of Kentucky chivalry in The
battle.felds Of Mexico. He will bear the
banners of his State in honor wherever
his military duties may call him, and she
will take pleasure in rewardng him, for
all the glory he may bring to her, with
public dinners, with triumphal professions
in short, with anything or everything
except political Office To obtain that at
her hands, he will have to turn Wing.

MExICo.-Our latest advices from Mexico
very plainly indicate that new revolution is
now on foot, and that the existing government
IS about TO be overturned, and another set of
men brought into power-wihout, perhaps,
altering materially the principles, or theory, of
the present form Of government. Indeed, it is
impossible that people, who, like the Mexi-
cans are. at best, but semi -barbarians, could be
benefited by more enlarged freedom than
they now enjoy. Such people, we say, are
filter subjects to be governed, as they are than
to be invested with those heaven-born rrlnci-
pies of self-government, which are the just in
hertance, and can alone be enjoyed by an in
telhgent and vftuous people. Ignorance, So
perstlton. vice, and tyranny. are inseparable
companions; while intelligence, virtue. and
seli-control, are the grand pillars Of Repusli-
can freedom.
We are informed, that ''the revolution in
progress commenced with the Army of Re

a commercial point of view, more so
