IMPORTANT FROM NAUvoo.-We have received
a slip, purporting to come from the st. Louis
Union office, which gives the following impor-
tant intelligence. If this slip be correct the Nor
mons have captulated, and will Immediately

From the st. Louis Union, Sept 49,
The Alvarado arrived this morning at eleven o'clock
from Keokuk bringing intelligence from Nauvoo up to
Friday morning
Some diminishing took place on Tuesday, but far
be ascertaned nothing serious resulted During
Wednesday negotiations were in progress between the
parties and Thursday morning it was finally con-
cluded that the beseged, those Of them who had Ia
ken part in the hostlites of the few days previous
should at once capiulate lay down their arms, and
leave the City and State within five days. The number
embraced in this requirement is varously estimated at
from three to seven hundred about hundred and
fifty only of whom are Mormons.
On Thursday evening the mobocrats marched in, and
took formal possession OF the city The steamboat Os-
prey had already left for Strangswn Mormon settle
ment in Wisconsin, crowded with passengers. The AL

trate of the treatment he met with, until yester-
day morning, between nine and ten O'Clock.
On Justice Drinker being made acquainted
with the circumst stances, he Immediately related
them to the Mayor, who ordered out some three
hundred men, armed with cutlasses and swords,
which were distributed to them at the arsenal, as
posse conlitatus, to carry the writ into execution
by force. The force being armed and equipped,
they proceeded to the battery with the intention
OF boarding the vessel, and capturing Captain
Turner, but Col. Stevenson having previously
got scent of the proceedings, was going down
the bay at the rate OF nine knots an hour The
Captain of the police force then sent commu-
ncation by telegraph to the ofiing, asking infor-
nation of the whereabouts of the expedition,
and received in reply an answer stating that they
were merrily ploughng the sea- and would be
out Of sight of land in few hours
This was dilemma not contemplated by the
police force, and finding themselves baffled by
the dexterity of the gallant Colonel they ground
ed arms, sounded retreat, and reached the
place they started from in good order, each with
a segar in his mouth, and frown on his counte-
nance No official accounts OF the number of
killed, wounded, and missing, have yet been re-.
ceved by the officer in command, but in the alb
sence of such return we will undertake to put the
loss down at none kiled-three hundred, or there
abouts, extremely mortified, and all down in the
mouth. Several pairs of breeches and coats
were little injured, but these matters are too
trtling to be inserted in return Of such impor
lance.
The worst Of the story remains to be told, for
some thirty OF the volunteers and a Captain Of a
company, were left behind by the Colonel in his
hurry. These men desiring to follow, chartered
the yacht Pearsall, lying at the Battery, and pro-
ceeded after the feet with the intention of overta-
taking their comrades if possible, and taking their
chance in the promised land A woman, too,
was left behind under very painful circumstances
She had come ashore leaving her husband and
children on board, fer the purpose of purchasing
some bakers bread Tor her infant child, and while
thus engaged the expedition got under way and
eft her behind. AS might be expected, the poor
woman was almost frantic at her misfortune, and
was seen walking up and down the Battery like
maniac.
This is the last Of this great expedition in this
locality 1t has at length departed from our shores,
bound to distant land, and in common with the
rest of our citizens we wish it God speed.

This Transient Life,

Amid earth's day-dreams of business, pleas.
u or ambition how few Of the gay, thought
less or busy multitude ask themselves in solemn
earnest, oh! what is this transient life 1t is
stealing noiselessly, but most rapidly away
How soon shall we all sleep in death. We now
look forward to the dying scene, knowing that
it must come; and in few days it will come
We shall feel that we are dying; we shall &C
through the scene, now shroudcd in so much
mystery. What, then, will the remembrance
of earthly joys or woes avail to us
Oh what will touch the heart of man.
What will convince him that eternity is worth
mole than the deeting moments of life THAT
the redemption of the soul from endless sin AND
suffering demands thought! o God send
send thy Spirit !-interpose in mercy, or he il
lost forever,

TO awaken an interest in this important duty
Of parents, and give it individual, practica
efficiency, will propose few questions and
suggest results that inevitably follow.
What is the standard of the common con
versation in your family? Is it chaste, elevated
refned-or, is it low, common place, spicei
with vuIgarity!
Are you not aware that the standard for con-
versation you present toy your children, has much
to do in forming character, and classifying them
in society
Is your conversation around the Preside of your
family of an instructive, moral character, cal
cuiated to elevate their mnds-polish their
manners, give them politeness without affectation,
a courteous clvillty uncpntamnated by hypoc-
risy?
Is it not your duty to store your minds with
useful knowledge, and daily, and diligently i'm
part it to your children, that they may be quail
flied to act well their part in the great drama of
life!
Reader Are you Christian Parent If
so, do you not feel that there is great decadence
in the moral training of children, since you
were taught morning and evening to kneel down
by your little couch and commit yourself to
Gods holy keeping!
Do you not bless the memory of sainted
Father and Mother who, in the seed time of
your existence, planted those high and holy
principles in your mind, that have in the hour
ofdarkness and temptation proved wall of fire
around you!
Do you wish your children when you shall
have been gathered to your fathers, to revere
your memory and " rise up and call you blessed ?
In view Of these momentous Subjects permit
me to say to you, that individual responsibility is
written upon every act of your life; and when
you act, whether it be precept or example, good
or bad, it has passed from your reach forever
Immortality is stamped upon it, and all its con-
sequences. Look back for one year, and see
if there has been any visible improvements in
the morals, or in the accomplishments of your
children. Learn lessons from the tears, and
misery and anguish of broken-hearted parents,
whose harvest has been &" the grapes of Sodom
and the clusters of Gomorrah." Remember
too, " that whatsoever man soweth that shall
he also reap" W.

For the Green Mountain Freeman.
Sketch Of Charles 7, TOrrcy.

There is melancholy and touching interest connec-
ted with the life, and more especially with the death
of this good man, which must cause every heart to feel
During his whole course he manifested by his deeds
that his heart was full of sympathy and generous hui
manity.
I see him in the days ofhis boyhood, winning by
his amable and modest manners, by his patient meek
and gentle temper, the love of all who knew him;
see him in his youth, devotng himself with every pow
er of his noble intellect to the cause ofhe Saviour and
of humanity 1t was at this period that he imbibed
those sentiments of Freedom Equality and Liberty
which gave coloring to his whole future life
During his college course he was sudious, high
minded and generous in every act and feeling, no
BILE example to all with whom he associated lie had
superior talents and a noble intellect His was mind
of no common order. The studies requiring in others
intense intellectual labor, were mere pasmes to him.
He enters upon the sacred ministry, devotng every
energy to the service of his Master; like him to weeE
with those who weep, to comfort the oppressed, tc
preach devcrance to the captive
Again see him--he is in prison now. Why is he
in that dark damp dungeon, far away from his home
his heart broken wife and children? 1t is to appeasC
the rage of fends IN human shape, who were madden
ed into fury because this good man had dared to fol
low the dictates of conscience, of humanity, and o.
the Holy Bible. 1t is because he has dared TO OBEY
God rather than man that he is there The petitions
of his friends the prayers of his afflicted wife, to re
lease him. were alike unayang and still the tyrant
held him with q grasp of iron until, worn down b,
toll, prvation and suffering death released the noble
sufferer Go to that prison: he is dying now. TIT
hand Of death is upon him. In that trying hour, he il
away from all he holds most dear-from his sympathi
zing friends, from his beloved family; strangers minis
ter to his wants and smooth down his dying pillow. Blu
his mind is calm and peaceful He speaks of the love
the kindness, the compassion of Jesus towards him
He fears no evil he passes through the dark valley
of the shadow Of DEATH because the Sun of righteous
ness lighcns up its gloom with his glorious presence
His hope is fixed upon the rock Of ages He fears
not to pass the swelling Jordan because he is up
held by the everlasting arm of God. Death has nc
terror for him. Look at him again; he sleeps smile
is upon his lips; in his countenance there is unearthy
beauty. His face is calm like the face of an angel
but the breath Of the sleeper is not there; God him
self has loosed the bands of the prisoner and his free
spirit rests in the bosom of his Saviour Oh! who car
doubt that the moment he was pronounced dead upoI
earth, he welcomed by angels as born born to al
nheri lance ncorruptbe, indebted, which passeth no
away?

the energies of freemen, they eagerly avail them
selves of all the facilities for the speedy and eff
ectual accomplishment of their labors Free
dom seems to have infused new element Of
thought and energy into the character of the
negro
" 1t is generally admitted by the planters,
says Professor Hoyey, that the apprentices
perform as much work in forty-6ve hours, as
they did formerly during the whole week. 1t is
admitted on all sides that the emancpated slaves
are willing, and even DESTROYS to work for pay
In this respect no difference can be perceived
between them and white people"
There probably has been no objection more
invariably presented against emancipation thar
the assertion that the slaves, if set free, viii
starve rather than work And though the falsty
of this sentiment has been demonstrated by the
result of the experiment in the West Indies
the assertion still continues unsiIenced
and exerts an influence over the minds o
the unnformed. After the emancipation there
we're many slaves, who, for various causes
were not employed on the plantations of theil
former masters, though the very great majority
of them tenacousIy remained in their old home;
tilling the fields as hired aborers, with which
they had been familiar from infancy
Let it not be imagined" says Mr.. Buxton
" that the negroes who are not working on the
estates of then old masters are on that account
idle. Even these are in general busiIy employed
in cutivaing their own grounds. in various de-
scriptons of handicrah, in lime burning, OIL
fishing, in beneftting themselves and the com
munity through some new but equally desired
medium. Besides all this, stone walls are built
new houses dug, meadows drained, roads made
and Macadamzed, stores fitted up, villages
formed, and other beneficial operations effected
the whole Of which, before emancipation, il
would have been folly even to attempt. The
old notion that the negro is, by constitution, a
lazy creature, who will do no work at all except
by compuIsion, is now forever exploded"
The one simple fact however, which precIudes
the necessity of all farther testimony upon this
point, is the ever-memorable one stated by Mr.
Quincy, that Gin the sixth year offreedom, after
a fair trial of five years, the exports of sugar
from Antigua almost doubled the average of the
last five years of Slavery. BY what hands was
this vast crop raised and realized! By the hands
of that lazy and impracticable race, as they have
often been described, the negroes And under
what stimulus has the work been effected .
Solely under that of moderate wages" Thus it
is conclusively established that the emancipated
slaves, under the influence of wages, may i'm
mediately become Industrious and thriving la
borers
