AFFAIRS AT NAUVOO.

The Hancock (Nauvoo) Eagle of the 18th of
July gives an alarming account of the outrages on
persons and property growing out of the feuds be-
between the "reguaors,'' as they called, and the
NEW citizens" That journal says:
at becomes our painful duty to record fresh
outbreak IN this county, the result Of demonstra-
ton made this morning by band of outlaws under
the command of Jim Logan and Captain McAuey.
The heart sickens at these repeated outrages upon
persons and property, and the case is perhaps ag-
gravated by the fact that the mob have now extend
ed their arocitiea TO nofensive and industrious new
settlers, who have purchased Mormon property, and
who ara strangers in the land. In calmly rejecting
upon the condition to which this county has been
reduced by gang of rufians who style themselves
Regulators" ono is almost forced to the conclusion
that we are living in land which free govern
ment has not yet shed Its blessed influence. Here,
in one of the most fertile regions that the ever
shone upon--in district of country that has been
settled for twenty years, and in the midst Of an
ghtsned community, the families Of worthy and re-

ness, and were daily subject to an assault from saw
ages -
The Mormons have Withdrawn entirely from tho
country, and but comparatively few are left in the
city. majority of those remaining are women
and children, and all orderly and inoffensve.

bered about $1,000 souls az late as February last

is not probable that more than six or seven hun
bred, Of all ages and sexes, could be found in the
place; and those who know more Of the matter than
ourselves, insist that the number falls short of this
estimate. Nov, although the arrangements which
have been made will enable these to leave in few
weeks, the mob party are unwilling 10 suspend hos
titles until after the election, and have sent ennis
saries to the surrounding counties to circulate SLAM
ders against the new citizens, and engage the rags-
mullins Of the country to aid them in their nefarious
designs"

tectye system it has recently been applied among
us, is denounced and doomed as a system Of injus.

entirely free from some faults of detail, which il
they shall be found serious, may hereafter b,

Mr.. HIGHLAND. OF MICHIGAN.

We cheerfully give place in our columns to our
correspondent Commerce" and join him in the
tribute which he pays to the able chairman of tn,
Committee on Commerce in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Mr.. McClelland is one of the best
members in Congress. His amiable and gentle
manly department, with his vigorous intellect and
great industry, have won for him commanding PC
sition in the House and enviabe reputation as u
statesman. We hope his services may long be re-
tanned in our national counsels.

We are somewhat surprised that Judge Thomp-
son, of Pennsylvania, should have again attached
any consequence 10 the article which appeared
wesk ago IN the "Union" upon the harbor bill. We

ton of that article, and we must again asseverate
that we ignorant of its existence as the rep
resentative from Pennsy vania himsef until we saw

Il COMMON SOLDIER.

d. The lustre which has been shed on our
arms in the present war, and the brilliant
achievements, which have marked the con-
fuering march of our army, are due not on
" to the chivalry of our officers, but to the
gallantry Of the private soldiers. The press
teens with instances of their ~intrepidity and
the pages of romance can produce no chan
Ter so thrilling as the individual heroism,
shown by our soldiers in the glorious VIC
tories of May and September. The march
to Santa Fe, California and chihuahua, is
characterised by the same contempt of all
obstacles, and whether on the trackIess
plain, or the gloomy wilderness, that self
sacrificing spirit which true patriotism ever
inspires has been fully shown by each pri-
vate soldier in the ranks.
To those men the country owes a debt of
gratitude which should be promptly paid.
Promotion is alike their right and reward.
