TINNBINLE IN THE PUEILIC SCHOOLS.-It iik known
ithaithe Grand Jury of Philadelphia, in their present
ation, as to the cause of the recent riots, ascribed them
to the efforts °film Catholic community to exclude the
Bible from the public schools. We see that a meeting
of the Catholic Laity was held in that city on the 18th,
at which an Address was adopted, vindicating them
selves from this allegation, and explicitly denying `thai
?they have at any time or in any manner designed, de
'sired or attempted to excl ud e the Bible front the schools.'
'The Address declares "that they have uniformly coo
rteeded, net only for ourselves, but on behalf of uur
Protestant and Jewish brethren, for the fullest free-
„-, satom of conscience both for children and adults in
‘!:•., yawls or elsewhere.”

WAR-UNDER ARMS
We have seen a letter toe gentleman of this ciry
dated St. Louis 17th inst., which sap.: "We expect
a general war in a few days with the Mormons—the
citizens are under arms, and about next Wednesday
they expect to make an attack on Neuron with soma
2,000 men.—Cin Coot.
LATER. AND IMPORTANT
By the last boats arrived farm St Louis, we learn
that Itlauvoo has been declared by Joe Smith, under
Martial law—the whole country is under arms--the
greatest excitement prevailed, and the most serious
results anticipated. The Mormons number about
10,000 souls, and ens this there may have been blood
shed. It looks that way.—Cie. Com.
"THE TIME HAS COME!"
Such is the caption of an Extra from the office of
the "Warsaw Signal," dated the 13th, fur which we
are indebted tc the 'Berea*? which this morning came
down. It is plain, by this document, that the excite
ment in that region against the Mormons is at Fever
heat. We learn by this, that on the afternoon of Wed
nesday last, a public meeting of the citizens of War
saw was holden, at which, idler discussion, a Pream
ble was adopted, setting forth the recent outrage at
Nauvoo, and the fact that a reward had been proposed
by Hiram Smith in the City Council, for the destruc
tion of the Warsaw Signal—and that the life of its ed
itor, MrSharp, had been threatened by the same man.
To this prfsamille is appended a series of resolutions
of a most emphatic character. ,By these re Miens
it is declared that the recent ordinance of t e City of
Nauvoo, and the proceedings thereunder, a ' an out
rage, of an alarming character, revolutions and ty
rannical in tendency, and being under color of law cal
culated to subvert and destroy in the minds of the com
munity, all reliance on the Law: that the time has ar
rived, when the law has ceased to he a protection to 1
life and property, and a mob at Nauvoo under a city
ordinance, having violated the highest privilege in our
Government, to seek redress in the ordinary mode,
would be utterly ineffectual; thnt the public threat
made in the Council of the City, not only to destroy
the Printing Press at Warsaw hut to take the life of
its editor, is sufficient, in connection with the recent
outrage E to comma, d the efforts and services of every
good citizen, to put an immediate stop to the ca
reer of the mad Prophet and his demoniac coadju
tors.
"We must not only'—continues the resolution, "de
fend ourselves from danger, hut we most resolutely
early the war into the enemy's camp. We do there
fore declare that we will sustain our Press and the
Editor, at all hazards. That we will take full ven
geance.—terrible vengeiince, should the lives of any
of our citizens be lost in the effort. That we hold our
selves at all times in readiness to co-operate with our
fellow citizens in this State. Missouri and lowa. to ex
terminate, utterly exterminate, the wicked and abom
inable Mormon Leaders, the authors of our trouble.
Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed
forthwith to notify all persons in our Township suspec
ted of 'oeing the tools of the Prophet, to leave immedi
ately on pain of instnnt vengeance. And we do re
commend the inhabitants of the adjacent Townships
to do the same, hereby pledging ourselves to render
all the assistance they may require.
Resolved, That the time, in our opinion, has arrived
when the Adherents of Smith, as a body, should be
driven from the surrounding settlements into Nauvoo.
That the Prophet and his miscreant adherents, should
then be demanded at their bands, and if not surren
dered, a war of extermination rhould be waged, to the
entire destruction, if necessary for our protection, of
his adherents. And we do hereby recommend this
resolution to the consideration of' the several Town
ships, to the Mass Convention, to be held at Carthage;
hereby pledging ourselves to aid to the utmost, the
complete consummation of the object in view, that
we may thereby be utterly relieved of the alarm, anx
iety and trouble, to which we are now subjected.
Resolved, That every citizen arm himself, to be
prepared to sustain the resolutions herein contained.
Latest News.-7 o'clock I' M.—A gentleman di
rectly from Nauvoo, informs us, that on Tuesday, the
City Council passed an ordinance that if any officer or
officers should attempt to arrest any person engaged
in the destruction of the Expositor press, and take
him out of Nauvoo for trial, he should be imprisoned
We may therefore expect that the officers from Carth
age, are in custody of the Mormons.
A mass meeting was called, to assemble in Carthage
to day. The result, so soon as we receive it, will be
issued in an extra. We expect to hear to eight.
The streets of Warsaw will be patrolled to-night,
in pursuance of the order made by the public meeting
yesterday.
A family of suspected persons were, to-day, ordered
to leave this place, before to morrow at 10 A M, by a
party of our citizens; a part of whom were armed. The
excitement in the county is said to be tremendous, and
on the increase.
Additional to the above, we learn that the Captain
of the Warsaw Cadets left lot Quincy on Wednesday,
to procure a -stand of arms now at that city, which .
arms were to be placed in the hands of the cithens of
Warsaw. A CounsyConvention was to be holden on
the subject the same day. The resolution of the cid
:ens in all that region to "exterminate" the whole
Mormon race, seems fixed. The "Saints" seem
equally resolute in their determination to stand their
ground; andoo a collision appears unavoidable. If
such collision takes place, blood will, of course, be
spilled. Terrible resultkr nay ensue unless some de
cisive step is taken by the Governor of Illinois and his
Pollee, at once.-61 Louis Gazette, June 15.
LATER FROM ST. LOUIS.
The Mississippi was higher at last accounts (Tues
day last) by a foot, than it had been this season, and
was rapidly rising. What damages will be done it is
impossible• to say.

lar It was rumored at Mobile. a few nights since,
that a negro, while splitting wood that day near Three
Mile Creek, and blaspheming ten fbly, was seized with
paralysis. On Montle', the story grew more marvel
lous. According to this, the earth opened and owe'.
lowed the man up,to the neck. The passers-by gath
ered tolether, brotight pickaxes and spades, and at
tempted to dig him out. But it was useless. As fast
as the dirt was thrown out, it nettled back. and there
the poor fellow stuck, without relief. Su angel as it
may seem, this story was believed by one-half of the
population, and probably some two or three hundred
persons tramped all the way to witness the extraordi
nary miracle.
[;'Colonel Thomas Fillebrown. late of Winthrop,
Mass. committed suicide by banging himself, on Fri
day. Col F was 81 yearsof ageat the time of commit
ting the melancholy deed, and was a man extensively
known and universally respected. He served in the
revolution—•was for many years a member of the Mas
sachusetts Senate, before the separation—and sub.
severely for a long time represented the town of
Winthtop in the Legislature of that State. He was
a:member of the different electoralcoll •eel which elec
ted Jefferson; Madison, Monroe, J Q Adams, and
Harrison. The reason, of :is putting an end to his
existence is not known, but it is generally supposed that
he was laboring under mental aberration.
A New Catmterfeit.—The scrip of the State of

State has but $3500 in circulation. We therefore
think it better to advise the public not to receive it—it
will then be taken to the Treasury' and redeemed.

Correnc, of England —Sir Robert Peel's new
plan of currency has been adopted without opposition
by both parties in the British House of Commons, and
will no doubt be carried into effect. It is said that
this systerkwill gradually reduce the circulation of all
the prooinaal banks throughout the United Kingdom,

a single bank of issue. Phi/. Time..
Most Melencholy —We learn that a clergyman,
Rev. Joy H.AMINT FAIRCHILD, of Exeter, N. H.
and formPrly of South Bosom, attempted to commit
suicide this morning, by cutting his throat with a
razor. The wound infliced is very sevele, but it is
thought he will recover.
Mr. Fairchild has been respected for many years as
an able, pious and faithful Congregational minister—
but there have lately been strong rewind to suspect
that his moral conduct has long been corrupt, and that
he is unworthy of exercising the holy ditties of his
office. We learn that an Ecclesiastical Council was
to have been held last week to investigate charges al
leged aginst him, and the mental excitement from
shame and mortification, wits doubtless the cause of
his determination to add to his sins by attempting to
rush unbidden into the presence of his Maker.—Bos•

The State Prisoners—Address to the People of
Ireland.—At an extraordinary meeting of the general
committee of the Loyal Natio.ral Repeal Association
of Ireland, held at the Corn Exchange Rooms, on the
30thof May, 1344, Mr Wm Smith O'Brien in the
chair, it was moved by Sir Colman O'Loghlen. and
seconded by Mr Thomas Davis, that the following ad•
dress be adopted, and be signed by the chairman on
behalf of the committee:
Fellow Countrymen—The leader, who,by the labors
of a life devoted to Ireland, has won the unbounded
affections of his own countrymen and the homage of
distant nations dias beep consigned to a prison ' ieentise
he has dared to vindicate your inherent ri:ht to self
government.
Others among your brother patriots share his cap
tivity for the same offence.
Your rights of free discussion and of co-operation
for political purposes hove been violated by a finned
construction of the law of conspiracy.
People of Ireland! Do you witness these events
without emotion? If so, let your national fume be
branded in characters of disgrace to the latest age;—
if otherwise, remember that your concurrence in his
sentiments has brought your benefactor to a prison.
Console him, then, in his confinement—console him by
your sympathy—console him by redoubled exertions
in the cause of your country!
Catholics of Ireland! To whom do you owe your
liberation from a degrading servitude? If your hearts
answer, to O'Connell, remember that he is a prisoner
because he has been your uncompromising advocate.
Protestants of Ireland ! It may be that in attempt.
ing to maintain an ascendancy you have sometimes
been exasperated by the attacks of its most powerful
assailant, but unless every generous sentiment be ex
tinguished. in your bosoms, fbrget past collisions and
remember that O'Connell is a prisoner because he has
sought to render your country great, prosperous, and
happy-
Irishmen of every class and treed ! Rally in de
fence of your rights. We ask not an appeal to force.
Ours is a peaceful struggle. Peace and perseverance
are the guarantees of its success; but let your opponents
feel that they miscalculate the energy of the Irish peo
ple if they believe that the national voice can be stifled
or the national spirit be daunted by state prosecutions.
Let the inhabitants of every parish, with stern but
calm resolve, meet to express their sympathy and con
dolence with the suffering patriots, and record their in
dignant protest against the injustice of which they
have been the victims. Let the clergy lend while they
restrain their flocks. Let the freeholders of the coun
ties assemble in constitutional array. Let the corpo
rations unite the concentrated intelligence of ourtowos
with the patriotism of our fields.
Above all, let your foes see that the struggle for our
national rights will terminate only with the restoration
of the legislative Independence of Ireland.
Signed on behalf of the committee.

A CARD.
H A NNINGTON respectfully announces toile
citizens of Pittsburgh, the return of his exhibi
tion of Moving Dioramas and Fantoccini, as exhibit
ed in-1839. His inability to accommodate bis owner.
ons visitors at that time, owing to the difficulty of pro.
curing a Hall or sufficient dimensions haa induced him
to lease the theatre for the better accommodation of
his patrons.
H. H. trusts that an innocent and hithego highly
patronized Exhibition, (which in two years has been
the means'of returning upwards of $2OOO to the vari.
ous charitable institutions of cities he has visited,)
may not suffer by any prejudice that may exist against
the name of the Building. The same good order will
be preserved as in other halls. The &hornier the as
tabli Ammo ant dosed, and every exertion used in 109.
will too redoubled on the present occasion. Novelties
of the most attractive description will be piroduced on
the 4th of July, and for the moatperfect preservation
of order, an effective police is provided. Parties se
curing seats duriug the day, will be attended to them
in the evening, and every attention of thecompany
personally looked to by the proprietor.
