The Outrage against the Mormons--
Carthage taken bvthe Sheriff— A Fight—
Eighteen or Twenty Antj-Mormons Killed. .
Spbinofield, Sept. 22, JB-15.
Gentlemen:—l have. this. day. mailed to your
address a newspaper , enclosing a copy of a Proc
lamation issued by the Governor on Saturday; a
explains itself; and in addition to tho reported out
rages enumerated in it, we have further information
from the seat of war, furnished by two gentlemen
from Brown county, who Wived yesterday, and
who slate that’BacUenslogytno Sheriff of-Mancock
county, at the head of about 500 Mormons, well
armed, had taken Carthago, the county seat, and
had got all tho Anti-Mormon ringleaders in prison.
They had a general engagement/previously, in
which eighteen or twenty Anti-Mormons were
killed and some half dozen Mormons shared the
same fate. ■ '
To-day, we have a report that Carthage has been
burnt by the Mormons. Cols. E.'D. Baker, and
K. "H. Merfyman of this place, called a mcelAng
for volunteers, vii thoStato House yesterday alter.-_

meet again to-day at 12. There was a very slim'
attohdance being but little interest

! many seem to think tho_An»-Mormons are as much
to blame as the Mormon's, tind are willing ttiey
should, fight it out. Orders have been issued to
1 Gen, Hardin to lake command of tho troops, and
I lf doomed expedient to declare martial law forth

indisposed, but will proceed to the scene of trouble
as soon as possible, • Yours, -A.

were killed.? It appears*that Williams, Sharp,'

The people had all fled from Carthago, .Augusta,
and other Anti-Mormon towns, and carried their
families into- the counties of Adams, Marquette,,
and Schuylerand Mcpopough,and are beating up
.for volunteers in those counties, to recruit their
forces, with which to renew the war. Itris un

battle may be expected, in the course of.this week.
Before this nows arrived tho Governor had is
sued a call for five hundred men to quell the dis
turbances.
Wo aro advised that it is a fact that no letters
have been received at this place from any of the
Mormon party since tho commencement of those
troubles, except ono*frOm a very obscure man in
Nauvoo, and another from McDonough county,
and.no newspapers. It is rumored that the mails
havo boon stopped, and there is'a story afloatthat
one mail-carrier has boon murdered. No messen

Wo hope the moral of Iho following sketch will
bo productive of much good. „ Young men, who
are ambitious of success in tho matrimonial line,

who furnished the sketch'says ho sees,no reason
why it should not b'tflrue; ■
A young lady of eccentric character, hut of rare
menial endowments and extraordinary personal at
| tractions, had five suitors equally assiduous in their
attentions. Unable to decide -upon which she
would bestow her hand, she "gave litem notice-to
call upon her at a certain hour on a slated day, and
each state his claims in-thp presence.of the others.
At the appointed time tho.lovers arrived. Four of
thorn'were confident of success, but the fifth had a
down-east look and sighed when ho gazed upon
the object of his devotion.
‘■Gentlemen,” said she, “you havo honored me
with proposals of marriage. 1 have as yet, neither
refused nor accepted any one of you. I now de-1
sire that each of'you will state your claims to my
hand, in order that! may know upon what grounds
I may be bestowing it.” : ’
A answered as follows —‘‘lf you marry mo you
shall live in a splendid house,: have servants and
carriages at your command, and enjoy all the lux

B spoke next:—“My- rival has said very Italy
that ho is rich, and ho offers you a strong induce

estimation, isa title of deep reproach, Thus'wo
heard one tni?s say to another, as twpjadihs pass-
WihafiV'thoother ;tiay;-",‘There go two old maid
sisters.’ And what if they were maids, and old, »
too? Is it any reproach to a lady to bo cither of these?

Tlic death of a Child.
And no one feels tho death of a child as a moth
er feels it. Even tho father .cannot realize it thus.
There is a vacancy mills home,'ami a heaviness
in his heart. * TheVjji, ib a chain of association that
at set times/comos ■ around with its broken Unit,
there are memories of endearment,' a keen sense of
loss, weeping oyer crushed hopes; and a chain of
wounded affections. But the mother feels that 1
one has been taken away who was still closer to
tho heart. Hers has been the office of constant
ministration. Every gradation of feature was do- 1
veloped before her eybs. She has detected every '
new,gleam unmelligonoo. She beardlho first ut
terance of every-new, word; , She has been the ref
use of l)is fears; the supply of his wants. And, ev
ery task of alTeclion has woven a. new link, arid '
made dear to her its object. Anil when ho dies, a

watched so narrowly, how can slio seo them
Biraiohiened to go down into tho dark valley! The 1
heausho, has pressed to her lips and her bosdm,
that slio has watched in burning sickness and in
peaceful slumber, a hair .of which she could not,
see harmed, O! how can she consign it to the chant-'

has been beyond her vision or her knowledge, how
