JOE IsMITH's FAMILY AT NAuyoo.

"A correspondent of the Missouri Republi-
can wrsles that last sumner he was at Nau-
VOC, apd conversed with Mr. Btoman, who is
married to Joe Smiths widow He says:
sat at the table with the family consisting Of
Mr.. Bboman aud wife, and three sons of Joe
Smith, the eldest about twenty three or twen-
ty-fouf, tie second about twenty, the third a
lad of.some twelve or thirteen years. From
Mr. Btoman learned that not one of the
family believed in Mormonism, and that his
wife, fpfmerly Mrs Smith, had always been
opposeato it, as we'll as the boys. | was told
that Jee Smith prophesied some two years be-
fore this young lad was porn, that son was to
be borfto him at or about a certain time; that
at the lime stated his wife did give birth
to a SON. At that time lie also stated that bis
sons name would be David, not Joe, and that
is the name of the lad, for heard him answer
to It. doe also said that his mautle Of great
ness atd prophecy would fall upon this son
and linea heir, David, who, as he stated,
would be as wise aud powerful as David of OLD.
The fat of the birth Of this child following
aecordl1g to Joe's prophecy strengthened the
belief iaat had already 50 strong hold upon
his followers. Mrs. BtJman is a masculine,
intelligent looking lady, of forty-fye or forty
seven years. She Is natiTe of New York
She hasa splendid farm near Nauvoo, which is
nlanagea By the two eldest sons. while David
goes to oFchool About the two oldest there is
nothingFemarkable to be seen. They are IN
telligeni men, of large size, but have nothing
in their appearance betokening them to be
prophets or sons of prophet. Te their
mother tacy are said to be very much attach
sd and Try kind. David is an uncunnonly
intelligart lad, of massive forehead, and bright
expressNe eyes, His step father intimated
that he fares as little about Mormons and Nor
nonisusFs one that has never heard tbs names
Notwithstanding that thousands of the follow
ers Of fs father believe him to be great high
priest, aprophot aud seer, lin embryo,) &C.
lie kuoWs that they worship his name equal to
that Of isls Christ; and yet, | am told, the
lad il toBinlelligeut TO allow it to make any
impFessist upon him. Probably the fact Of all
the family being unbelievers il il Is the cause.
The following incident learned from gen
tlenians5esding at Nauvoo: That when Joe
waa kils in jail 5solae fifteen miles from his
AID took E,S<ses.sio.1 -ok- is:s
body, and to prevent the rabbie from getting
it, they raised the floor of the dining room, aud
digging ! grave, buried his remains there,
where they still remain. This story, whether
true or pot, is generally believed in Nauyoo
