Ford had sent word, that those eighteen persons demanded on a Warrant, among whom were Joseph Smith aad Hyrum Smith,jshould be protected, by the mi- titia oF the Siate, they in company with some ten or twelve others, started for Carthage. Four miles fram that place, they were met by Capt. Dunn, with a company of cavalry, who had an order from the governor jor the “state arms.” Gen South endorsed his acceptance of the same, and both parties returned to Nauvoo to obtain said arms After the arms were obtained both parties took uy the line of march for Carthage, where they arrived about five minutes before twelve o’clock “at night Capt. Dunn nobly acquiting himself, landed us aafely at Hamiltow’s Hotel. In the morniog we saw the governor and he pledged the faith of the “tate, that we yuld be protected General Smith and his brother Hyram were arrested by a warrant founded upon’ the oaths of H O Norton and Augustine Spencer, tor trea- son. Knowing the threats from several persons, that the two Smiths should never leave Carthage alive, we all began to be alarmed for their satety The Gov and Gen.

At evening the Justice made out a mitimus withont an inves- tigation and committed the awo General S to prison until discharged by due course law, and they were safely guarded to jail.— In the morning the Goveruor went to the jai! and had an interview with these men and to every appearance all things were explained on both sides. The constable then went to take these men from the jail, before the Justice for examination, but the jailer refused to let them: go, as they were under his direction * tll discharg. ed by due course of law;” but the Governor's troops, to the amount of one or two hundred, took them to the Court House, when the hearing was continued till Saturday the 29:h, and they were re- manded to jail. Several of our citizens had per mits from the Governor to lodge with then, and visit them in jail. It now began to be rumored by several meu, Whose names will be forthcoming ia time, that ihere was nothing against these men, the law could net reach them, but powder and bali would! The Governor was made acquainted with these facts, bnt on the morning of the 27th, he disbanded ihe McDonough Troops, and sent them home: took Captsin Dunn’s company of cavalry end proceedad to Nauvoo, leaving these two men and taree or four friends, to be guarded by eight men at the jail; and « com- pany in town of 60 men, 80 or 100 reds from the tail, as a corpsin reserve.
