An eyewitness, who watched the progress of the
cond battle from the top of the Mormon temple Nauvoo
describes il as spirited engagement in which the
new citizens and Mormons prevented the advance Of
their foes at every point.
The Nauvooites have thrown up three breaswors at
about one and half miles from the city, towards the
road leading Carthage and behind these the defending
forces are posted with five pieces Of artillery At about
II o'clock NJ the new citizens fred two six pound shot
into the Antics camp, upon which the latter

their camp leaving the field in possession of the new
citizens and Mornons.
During the progress of the fight an invalid Mormon
