The notorious Col. Levi Williams, who jg zt the head of the mob, has ordered out the milifia of this brigade, comprising Han- c9ck, McDonou h and schuyler counties— but it is hoped t at no good citizen will tiirn out and aid him or others in the over- throw of the laws of our country; and it is certain that no good citizen will cross the Mississippi river with the design to aid the rioters. J. B. B., shercjJE The lkepnblicon has favored us with a sight of a letter from the editor of that pa- per, he having witnessed the «running slcirmish » between the sherifPs per« and the Anties, and from whose description of it we clip the following: «« some of the Anties toolc to the corn tields, while the horsemeii followed the road they were on, throu h a lane —- some returning to cainp, an some taking the nearest route home, or to tliick wol-da. Zaclcenstosls men marched iip to the foot ofthe laue, where they made asudden halt. lcan only account for their not continuirig the pursuit, by supposiii s that they feared an ambush was laid in t e corn fields on the side ofthe road. l did not see or hear a gun fired, but one man-a Mr. Lindsey, of the Anti party-and liis horse were. wounded by a discharge of buckshot but not serious y. He further states, « Zaclcenstos went on Tuesda night, from Nauvoo to cartliage, with a out 500 arined meii, and removed his family from the latter to the former place« « « The Tal-eine Bitten, or principal men of the Mormons, have addresses! a proposition to the Anties, which was received this eveiiing, and which, l trust,may put a final end to this war. The Tvvelve propose that they will leave Nauvoo, and the county, next spring, provided hostilities are sus- pended, nnd the vexatious suits which they charge the Anties to have instituted against them, are withdrawn, and they are allowed peaceabl to dispose of their roperty, and prepare or their removal. Tliey have ap- pointed a committee of five, to correspond with a committee of an equal number on the part of the old settlers. This pr·iposi- non is well received b many of the citi- rens of Warsaw, and i they do not reject it because of the langsiage in which it is ad- dressed to thein, (fhey thinkin it disre- s ectful,) it will most likely lea to a set- kement, aiid to the removal of the Mor- mons from amon them.

When the low calumny, now denied by the man Green, first met our eye, we published it, ourselves, in utter conteinpt, and nothing but the malicious use which was made of it by a city print, and which taught us that, among certain readers, the slander might be used to our disadvantage, even led us to give the matter a second thought Wilh regard to the letter which follows, we be- lieve there is—or un» a person connected with the steige, named Field, whom this man, Green, could have had an acquain- tanceship with; as to his den-ful of the De— troit communication, people interested in the affair can judge for themselves.

Not only the hall, but the stairways above sind below were filled with deeply interested auditors.

The occasion demanded some expressive reference to his peculiar position, and he tlius alludod to it, at the commencement of his discourse: « The circumstances of our present meet- ing, my friends, are quite peculiar. Never before did l address an audience with such emotions—emotions too big for utterance. And if ever, in preaching a sermon, l need- ed a remembrance in the prayers of· chris- tians—it" ever l needed the grace of God to strengtheri and sustain me, l need it this morningc The feelings which now fill my lieart and sufluse my eyes, no words can adequately express. Trutz, l liave spolcen in tliis hall before; for when it was occu- pied by our brethren of the Methodist de- nominatioii, l accepted their kind invitation to preach to them on more occasions than one. 1t is also true that I have spoicen to most of you who now hear me, from sah— bath to sabbath, from any years; but never before with feelings of such unusual char- acter, and such uniisual intensity. You do not wonder at this. You would indeed wonder if it were not so, when you con- sider the circumstances which have brought us togetlier within these walla to-day. l do not intend to go into any detailed ac- count of« tliese matten. This is forbidden by the day, the occasion, and the object of our )resent meeting. Neither have l any wis to disturb your feelin s or mine by such a dis usting and painful recital. Besides the w ole story of my sufferings has already been published to the world, with wliicli you are all familiar, so that neither duty nor necessity requires a rece- pitulation of them here. l would rather that they should be buried in perpetual oblivioin But there is one thing which the sacreds ness of the day does not forbid me. l may express to you niy heartfelt gratitude for the interest you liave taken in my welfare, and for your sympatliy and kinduess in all my trials. In the darkest hour of my ad- versity, when my way seemed hedged up, wheriiio light was brealcing in upon my path, you still adhered to your former pas— for. You acted the art of true, bonest, Arm, warm-hearted frieuds. You required evidence—evi"dence the most undoubted that l had done anything to forfeit your es- teem and confidence. You doubtless made my case the subject of fre uent and fer- vent prayer, that God would ring the truth to light, and deliver me, if innocent, from the snares which had been laid for my ruin. Nor did you pray in vain. The Lord sp- peared for my deliverance. And here l am enjoying once more the delightful priv- ilege of addressing you in the name ofyour saviour and mine. « What shall we render unto thee, 0 Lord, for all thy benefits ? We will talce the cup of salvation and pay thee our vows.» Many of the congregation of both sexes shed tears during this portion of the dis- coursez and after the benediction a large number of them advanced to the desk and shook hands with him cordially.
