St., a heavy cloud rested over this city. from which the rain descended in a stream for the pace of tWO hours or more. In a short time the mad waters came tumbling down from eory hollow, in every hill side, ami Crooked Creek (a very small stream running parallel with the Ohio River, between the hills back and the city) rose above its banks; and the "bottom," or "eommoirs," between the Michigan road and the high ground upon whieh thecitv is built, ami soon converted into a. bike or broad river. The large and beautiful culvert uii(lr the artificial hill thrown up am s the holhiw, in the ceett ruction of tbe Railroad, at the lower end uf the city, was soon choked up with floating houses, and other materials, and tbe wateis, dammed Bp below, and ruining with and fury from above, immediately eitended on each side, so as to cover the whole space known as the M Commons," extending from the northern limits of the city to the lulls beyond. The backwater, however, did not reacli higher than two or three hundred yard-- above the new powder house before the culvert jravc way, and the torrent swept off the high embankment earth, stone, and all making a sap above of some i" or 100 yards wide, and a .vyeW' bed below, tome vl yards in width, resembling very much, on a small scale, the passage of the Pc4mac through the Blue Ridffe at Harper's Ferrv and thus comuletelv cutting off the railroad comniunic&tioo between the 11.11 Depot and tbe city.

conflicting parties the new citizens of NattVOO and the remaining .Mormons on one part, and tbe antiMormona on the other, tiov. Ford baa authorized Maior Ja. R. Parker, a militia officer, to ta ntmuid of such volunteers as may olb r their services, free of cot to the Slate, to repel any attack on Nauvoo and defend that city; to arrest the rioters; toasist any peace ollicer in making arrests, and guard the prisoners from mob violence during their trial. Major Parker has issues a proclamation, in pursuance of the above instructions from the (zWerttor, calling on all good citizens to preserve the peace, and ordering the bodies of armed men, which had assent. hied ill various parts of tbe country to disperse. 11 also ollers his services to any ollicer in the county to assist him in executing any lawful writs. A copy of this iroi-bimation was forwarded to John Carlin, the sheritl ot Hancock county, bearers of it were shamefully maltreated. The sheriff replies to the Major as follows : 'As there is no illegal Usemblage of Men in this count'", I take it for granted that your proclamation is directed to the people assembling under my orders as a posse comitatus. If such is the case, 1 have the hon r to inform you that i am a b eul ollicer ; that some dayi ago writs were placed in my bands' to be served oa persons in Nauvoo ; that I was resisted in said city by Win. Pickett : that he told me that if I att anpted to take him he would kill me, in which he was sustained and encouraged by the crowd around fl Sje him. rhe citizens are now assembling in Urge bo. dies to act as a posse, and I expect iu a few 1 iys to have force lufficient to execute ÜM warrants in my hands. S soon ns 1 have sufficient force I sluill attempt to discharge my doty, and do not acknowledge the authority of any person in the State to forbid me from doing that which every otliccr is commanded to do by the laws." Major Parker answers this letter of tbe sheriff bv kvowutf hit willingnesi to aid and :t-sist him in execut.nj any legal writ, und says : "I understand that Pickett jrave himself up to n justiee, and oflered to give bail for bis appearance at tiie next term of the circuit court, and that the justice refused to take cognizance of the case, because no complaint had been filed against Pickett. 1 am also informed, on the best authority, that the intention of your pOSSe i. to execute certain writs and set the Mormone over the river, which conld be no i e i ...
