CIVIL WAR IN ILLINOIS


From letter published in the St. Louis Re-
publican, dated, Carthage, Sept 10th, we learn
that the Anti-Mormons had determined to
drive the Mormonites out of that section of
country, and that bloody fight was expected
to take place between the two parties. The
writer says:
81 spent most of the day yesterday in the
Anti-Mormon camp, learning all | could in
relation to the difficulties here. Every man
had the story of his grievances and wrongs to
relate, and if half they say is true about the
Mormons, their sufferings have been intollera-
BILE, and they are not to blame for seeking re-
dress. A relation of them would be repiti-
ton of what has already been over and over
published to the world. There are men in
camp of all ages and conditions, old and young,
rich and poor. There are many old grey
headed men, some of whom are not less than
seventy years of age. They have been on
camp duty nearly three weeks, away from
their families and homes, neglecting every
thing else think this speaks iouler than
words of the causes which bring them toge-
Their. If this effort fails it is the determina-
ton of the old citizens to leave the country"
Since the above was III type, we learn from
the ST. Louis Republican of the 18th inst, that
a battle hal been fought, and that the Nor
mons had gained the day. The Republican
SAYS:
By the steamer Ocean Wave, which arrived
here yesterday morning, we learn that mes
senger arrived at Warsaw about l. o'clock on
Friday evening, few minutes before she left,
who stated that battle had taken pace about
O'clock that Afternoon near Nauvoo, which
lasted two hours, and in which from twelve
to fifteen men were killed AMI woun lei. The
particulars, so far as can be ascertalnet are,
that on Friday the Nauvoorites hearing that
the Anti Mormons were on the march to their
city, marched out to the number OF from three
to five hundred, and posted themselves at the
distance of about one mile east OF the Temple,
having an open plain in front, AMI an extern
sive corn field in the rear, their line being
formel near and parallel with the fence. Here
they waited the approach of the Antics, who
arrived about o'clock in the afternoon, sal !
to be eight hun lred in number, with five or
six pieces of cannon. The latter were posted
on an eminence, ana opened their.fre on the
Mormons, but at too great distance to be ef-
fective. Soon after, the action was continue
with small arms, AMI lastel until o'clock
when the Antics either retreatel or withdrew
Their loss is stated to be from eight to fifteen
killed, but that is uncertain, and the Nauvoor-
ties hal one man killed and tao wounded; the
latter had no cannon. 1t was expected thai
the battle would be resumed the same even
ing, or on the following morning.

their politics.
heard a noble heartel Sugar planting Dem
ocrat, say lately, The greatest amount of good
to the greatest number" At four cents pound
the Sugar planter makes more money than
the Cotton planter at eight. Our country is
perfectly ruined, so far as the Cotton planters
are concerned Many will not make one
tenth, and some will make no crop at all. If
a man thinks he will make half crop he is
delighted. Our crops were nearly month be-
hind hand from the lateness of the Spring, and
then the wet weather caused the plant to grow
too luxuriantly; and to cap the climax, the
caterpillar took to it about the LIST of August,
and swept off al the forms leaves and young
bolls half grown, and on some plantations they
even ate the bark of the stalk

crop made unless the prospects are better else

OPENING OF THE BUSINESS SEASON

OPENING OF THE BUSINESS SEASON.
The noise and hustle OF our town reminds
US OF the approach OF busy times. Merchants
are daily returning from the North. The
streets are awaking from the lethargy and re-
pose which have reigned SO long undisturbed,
and the port is becoming rapidly crowded with
vessels from various points, discharging or ia
king in cargo. We are informed that the
merchants have made arrangements for lar
ger business than usual Their stocks have
been greatly enlarged, and many new articles
have been introduced into the market. We
would invite our country friends to try the
Wilmington merchants before purchasing else
where. They will find them liberal and &C
commodating.
In truth, looking around generally, at the
signs of the times, Wilmington seems to be
somewhere near that tide which, as Shaks.
peare says, " when taken at the flood, leads
on to fortune" There is nothing like cri-
sis, occasionally, to develope the energies Of
communities as we'll as individuals, and we
are Just now in the very position. The exam
nations growing out of the agitation OF the
Rail Roal extension, has revealed in singu
lar degree, the many local and business advan
tages we possess. The truth cannot be toe
strongly presented to the public, that we have
every facility for becoming the great impor
and export town OF all North Carolina, anC
when the new Roal goes through, doubtless
we will have to supply the upper counties O
South Carolina.
We say then, let us all work and struggle
together, corde manu- que" with heart ant
hand, in this common purpose, and much viii
be the good that will ensue, and long will it
influence be felt in the prosperity, not only o
our own town, but of the whole State.

10 5arrelled pistol in one hand, and a dirk
in the other-his face painted red, & de-
manded the young mans money. He
gave him up what money he had, which
was So. Eastwood then ordered him 20
turn back, which he did. Soon after, the
