(From the St. Louis Republican, Sept. 2] A letter trom Mr. N. Colburn, our correspondent at Santa Fe, announces his arrival at Independence, in this State, on Thursday last, in twenty-four and a half days from Santa Fe. ‘This journey eclipses in speed any other ever performed between the two points, and shows that very soon it will be stripped of even the character of novelty. From the letter of Mr. Colburn, we gather many ee of interest to our readers, which are here ar- range: Mr Colburn left were then only Fe, but the authe ita Fe on the 3d of August. There exican soldiers stationed in Santa es stated that they had 7,000 men ata moment's warning to meet General Kearney, und 2.000 were expected from the lower cou try. How far this expectation may be realized, may be judged of from the fuct, that Mr. Kennedy, who had just 0 & rived from Sonora, reported thot they had there only 300 soldiers, 200 at Chihuahua, 40 at £1 Passo othing: been heard of 8 previous. It was not thea known that Gen. Wool was moving against When Mr. U. left Santa Fe Chibuahua. About two humdred miles on his route home, he met with eight Mexican dragoons who had been watching the movemenis of the American forces under General Kearney They said they had not seen the troops, although they had been in sight of Bent’s Fort, and to the Simerone Mr. Colburn reached the crossing of the Arkansas in ten days, being the quickest trip ever made to that point in wagons He found grass and water s He there met Captain Worcester, of the United States Artillery, 1. Caldwell and Charles Bent, only ten days from Independence, and sent by them to Gen. Kearney all the vews of which he was in possession. From this party, he heard of the murder, on the evening before, of Mr. W. Z. swan, of Northamp- ton, Massachusetts. He was returning, it is stated, from Fort Bent, in company with Ma.or G. Clerk, and was shot from his horse, when within seventy-five yards of their camp, by Indians On the Isth, he met Mr. Turley’s company of three wagons, fur Taos, and also forty-three government wa- gons,and 54 men. ‘They were lying by for repairs They had lost fifteenyoke of oxen ; many of the men were sick, and they only had two rounds of ammunition. No guard could be placed at night, and they bad nothing with which to protect themselves when hunting th oxen. The Indinns were attacking some of the compa- & nies almost every night. ‘This detachment of wagons was then sixteen d which Mr. C. learned, was ration of bread and meat, with neither sugar nor coffee. He presses the opinion, that one hun- dred Mexican soldiers could capture all the sup- plies of government stores from the cotton wood to Bent's Fort, if they only knew their exposed situation alvo stated that the dragoons had only fifteen rounds of ammunition with them. Mr. C. says that the Indians were in Santa Fe, offering their servic Armijo, on condition that be should let them har spoils which they might take from tl that he had refused to accept the proposition. acceded to it, the army might possibly have been defeat ed, or their supplies cut off, which would have caused great distre-s. Major Clark and himself gave men all the powder which they could spare, and left them. On the 15th, he met twenty two goverument wagons, in charge of Mr. Campbell and Mr. Cuons, of St. Louis He lea:ned from them that their camp had been at- tacked on the ni previous, and that they had killed one Indian and wounded another. That night his camp was at d at Coon Creek, and an attempt made to run off his stock. On the 16th he met 3 behind the army, sisting on half a & ixty wagons, loaded with mor- chandize, at Pawnee Fork, belonging to Armijo, Magot- fin, and others. At this point, he overtook ten wagons, on their return from Bente Fort. On the 17th, at Cow Creek, met Messrs. Barnes and Allen, with thirty-one government wagons and forty- three men. His camp was again attacked, and an at- tempt made to drive off the animals. The guard fired on the Indians, but they contrived to steal three of Ma- Jor Clark’s mules, which caused some delay. About 3 o'clock in the morning, they heard a firi musketry, which they afterwards learned was from Mr. Horner's company of eighteen wagons, at Owl Creek. Their camp had been attacked by a large body of Indians, they Were almost without powder. Major Clark gave them all he could epare. At Little Arkansas River he met forty-six wagons belonging to Algueir and Paris, the latter in charge of Messrs Stillman, Waldo, and No- land. Two ot their wagons bad been struck by light- ning, and one man was slightly injured. On tue 19th, met Doyle und Garve: goods for the indian trade, and twenty. stores for the U. 8. Army. On the 22d, met McUaulley and Sandford’s wagons with merchandize; ond also two companias of Price’s regiment, one of them under Capt. Giddings, at Cotton Wood, with six baggage wagon On the 23d met two companies of ie regiment at Council Grove, under command of C: MeMillen and and also forty-three wagons loaded with mer- lize, belonging to R. ati Seme day met a command of twelve men and four howitzers. On the 24th, met Major Spalding, Assistant Paymaster, with twelve wagons and two pieces of artillery, twenty- four pounders. Met, also, regiment, under command of Capta. Henley, Robinson and Holloway, with a train of nineteen wagons; and the five companies composing the battalion of Mermon in- tantry, aud some emigrants to California. Qn the 26th, met seven wegons belonging to Tharp and Lee, with mercha: dize for the mountains ond Taos, at Switzer’s Creek. Same day, met Lieut. Col. Mitchell and Major Walker, Paymaster, and the remaining com- panies of Price’s regiment, together with Col. Price, at Rock Creek. On the 26th, met Armijo, with thirteen ons loaded xley was ‘wagons, with ‘wagons with U. 8. A., in charge of Thompson. On the 27th, before arriving at Independence, met four wagons belonging to Miller and Reed, and Mr. A. Are mijo, who had been detained by sickness, and was then on his route to Santa Fe. Mr Colburn reprsentts trade as being extremely dull at Santa le. There was a heavy storm of snow in the mountains on the 16th of June, and on the 10th of July he saw large banks of snow. On the 24th of June, there was a tremendous hail storm on the St. Charles ; some of the stones myasured nine inches, and he saw one house which had holes cut through tl i roof by it. The corn crop was very poor. Mr.C. expresses the opinion, that the horses of the mounted men must suffer severely during the winter, as there was but little sur- grain in the country, probably not exceeding eight sand bushels of whei id no corn. Navajo Indians were committing depredations on id wouuded ano- of Santa Fe, and Alvaies, American Cousul at Santa Fe, was in fee. bealth.

Ow Boanp Srmamet TERN raat Mississippi Valley, , 1846. The Mormon War—Preparation for Battle—The Petti- coat Guards, &c. I suppose it would not come to you, or the readers of the Herald, to hear a lite of what is going on up and down “the Fathor of Waters.” That may be pecially so, now, when the war appears to be up, and all, of all classes and grades, appear to be full of “blood and thunder.” } Well, { suppose you are familiar withthe anti-Mormon war, which has been raging in Hancock county, Illinois, for the last eight or twelve mon! armistice, some time last fall, wi te the two “high contracting parties,” the Mormons and anti-Mormons, negotiated, on the oneside, by the “el- ders” of the ‘‘ Latter-day Saints,” and sundry high polit 1 characters of both political parties on the other, in which it was sipalated. and agreed that the Mormons should leave Nauvoo, the Mecca of! devoted, yet deluded peonle, and Hancock county, Ilinois gene- rally, early last spring. Upon these being sign- ed, the sound of war died away, as it seem, like a spent volcano; but all the while there was eccamulating ma- terial, withio the womb of the then future, for an explo- sion more violent, more fearful, and more disgraceful than the first. At the time above alluded to, last fall, the Mogmons in and about the c ty numbered 12.00) strong; and here, it may be proper to add, for the inturmation of Your aged. ers, that a large majority of them being democrats, whigsof Hancock county became clamorous for their expulsion; first,in hopes the county would tuereby jd secoudly. in hopes that @ dra argo might moterially, or wholly change the politicsof State. However, a8 soon as the above stipulation had the Mormons, | have no doubt in good faith, betook themselves to making ready for their departure. ld, sold their property and their effegts; er, some at 9 less sacrifice, and many ay their property, to get in return a tea or wago! ‘oxen or horses, sufficsently capacious to take them away. Before the’ time arrived at or before! which they were to start, something like fiye thousand or six thousand had crossed the Mississippi, with com- ratively not but heads of families and their chil tren, with the aforesaid teams, and not half provisions Stony mountains whither enough to last them over thi rity of these had ite. Before th they were tendiny @ great mi left without disposing of their time came round, however, it became evident to thousands of them would not get away, and to the sober, it was quite as evident they could not. The old citizens were relentless, and began to make preparations to expel them the city. nd here, for want of time and space, { must over a Jong and inter. esting portion of their history, simply saying, that those who had remained became so alarmed, that some fied with nothing, scarcely, but what God and na- ture had given them, and dwelt in tents andcovered wagons, like Israel inthe wilderness, with this difference what while God presided over the destiny of the latter and defended them, He apparently, and certainly man, beast and the elements, were pursing, with scorpion lash, these poor, wretched, religious maniacs. Affairs finally came to such a crisis, that etry Saaaets particu. be bought larly real estafe, could for a song—foran ox wagon us paw axe pas a ie ao (ate ores ‘one could, and very freque: , buy property whic before the Mormon war would have fetched one thou- sand dollars in cash. ‘This soon became noised abroad, and there was a rush made for Nauvoo by persons of limited means, to buy roperty. 4 ‘That Jou may have the facts, I will state here that these new purchasers were composed of old Mormons, companies of Price's | ters, by which he had been appointed, ke.; but the anti’s who hed, up to that time, not been known in Hancock county ; another class composed of dishonest rowdies, d another who were, and now are, honest men. There is not much doubt, however, but a large majority of those purchased at the aforesuid reduced rates, are jome more and some less tinctured with Joo Smith-ism. Yet it is quite certain, a set of men took the place of those who had left, more shrewd, more bold, more determined, and therefore better calculated to ce - summate practices. This class of men took to themselves the name of the “new settlers,” an now known by that appellation. Under their auspices a pa- per was started, the Hancock Ei conducted with lack, who is now carried it into Africa, making arrests of the “ regulators” to the astonishment and dismay of the old citizens— whether for good or for evil, | cannot say, as the two parties differ as to motives. The old citizens complain. ed of certain persons of Nauvoo, and warrants were put into the hands of the officer to arrest them, but resist- ance was made by the new settlers, backed up by the remnant of the old Mormons. So the flareup I am about to give you an account of, arose more immediately on account of this fact. The officer who had been resisted, called upon,the county for a posse comitatus, alleging the | to the object to be merely to execute his writs, while au- thorities of the Hol: Age upon all of Nauvoo to arm in defence ot the ci rated party to be to burn Nauvoo, and expell its inha- tants. ‘Thus being conversant of the state of the parties, you of the officer ran like wildfire all over, and out of Han- cock, the farmer laid aside his plough, the mechanic his tools, the lawyer his pen, end the women their spinning wheels. was an object lacking in both aie, arms and ammunition. But the parties dispersed to hunt up these, and you would fr tly find in the same town, Mormons and Anti-Mormons, new settlers and old, enquiring for arms and ammunition. On Saturday last, Burlington, Fort Madison, Keo Kuk, and the other large towns on the river, were canvessed, guns obtained, washed out, scow up, and carried y by both par- ties preparatory to the conflict, which was expected to come off on the first of thisweek. Their were delibe- rate about it, and would coolly invite persons to come and look on to see thi ht. A building was broken night, the State ordnance taken; light. On eacl ie both are armed to ribag La Harpe, all Anti- Mormons, All the week Nauvoo been under mar- tial law, the whole city, old and new settlers, Mormons and all, doing military duty as regulerly as hough they were forces ot the Lnited Sates. And what is ustonish- tug, and shows the desperation of the parties, is, there is under Srems. ecuive om, and — Wy the tect, « company of women, eighty strong, who are in jorm, and ie. if an attack 1s made ujon the sacred city, are to be placed in the front ranks, each one being sworn to die on the ground befure the Anti’s shall enter the city. While this is a rate move, it is also artiully de- vised, aa you see, il eighty of the fair should be shot down by men, the inevitable tendency would be to raise But, you may axk, why this delay? Why does not the Booey vale come uff! Why do they not, in the languege of bis Leagan Governor F “fight it out?” They probably would, before this, had it not been for the following:—some of the new sottlers, taking alarm at the martial appearance of the Anti’s, ana uembling at the result, it would be emphati- cally a war for blood—a war of extermination, sted off to Governor Ford, and demanded assistance. Corbis excellency assumed that the war was now be. tween citizen and citizen, and not between citizen and Mormon, as when he left them “ to fight it out,” which, by the way, was just the right policy to pursue ; tor if they could killsome 500 on each »: they might be then satisfied; and if not, the: soon alter ve put down in earnest by the universal people ; and upon the aforesaid assumption the governor ordered Mayor Parker, with ten men, to repait Nauvoo and keep the peace of the county and State, ing him to receive volun- teers to any amount ance, and instruc! officer in the execution ot all jegai processe: Nauvoo or out. The volunteers, however, were to be at expense to the State. This was putting th just where wanted to be. All were at the vice, so that ifany conflict ensued, the demi- for such would hi ir sive, W now, with an acmed torce, under xt of arresting, and would have to y in violation not only of the statute, but the common law, and the express order of the governor and his offi- cer incommand at Nauvoo. ‘The commanoing officer sent the governor’s proclamation to the anti's head quar. heeded it not, but abused the messengers, and sent them away, not exactly “half dead,” but frightened out of their senses. ‘The officernext sent @ messenger and pro- clamation of his own, with the names of the messengers on it, ordering the anti’s so disperse in a specific time, or in default, to be considered by him in the ect of riot.— ‘This order has not yet been obeyed.

The ci having ex of interest, the to the Court rly hour, filled with a number of persons the proceedings. Colonel Stevexsow not having made his appearance ‘until long after the hour of adjournment, some anxiety was manifested, and some were heard to say that the gallant Colonel would show the white feather and back out.

At haif-past 12 o’clock the Court asked, were the par- ties ready to proceed ? General SurHenLaxv—We are ready to proceed, but we want the writ and return—the return is not sworn to.

At this point of time, Captain Frisby announced that he had found the writ, aud handed it up to the Court. Geul. SuTHERLaND gets the writ and return from the Courtand reads—If your honor pleases, we have now the writ and return, and I contend that the return is bad because it does not show under what authority orin what capacity the prisoner is detained. Thoro is no designa- tion of Colonel Stevenson inthe return. Covrt—Look at the writ and you will there find bet soe of Colonel Stevenson taken from your own pr ion. Genl. SuTHERLamp—We don’t admit that to be a true ignation of him. We only gave it to him for the con- venience of having the writ truly and regularly served, but we do not ecknowledge him asa Colonel. Count—A man who looks at his designation in your petition, and then at the writ and return, and compares them all together, must be as blind as a cat if he does not perceive the connection. Genl. SutHentanp—I am neither deaf or blind, and I dont perceive the connection. Here General Sutherland read a very voluminous pa- per denying the. legality of the retura. ‘The following @ synopsis of it: Ast That it was illegal, because the regiment was nised by the Governor of the State of New York, and not the President of the United States. 2d. Because the Governor issued commissions without authority. 8d. Because under the militia law the officers should be elected. 4th. That there isno law of the State of New York authorising the governor to issue commissions to volun teers for the United State: 6th. That the artich war,and the rules and regu lations of the army, as to the enlistment of en, and the formation of the regiment have not been complied with; that the regiment was erroneously orga: the oath required to be taken by Cook was not istered by the person legally authorised to adi the same. 6th.

Here Captain Frispy offered in ovidence a copy of the original enlistment roll, the muster roll by which the regiment was called into the United States service, to which was attached the oath of allegiance taken by Cook, and the rest of the men. He then went on to state that Colonel Bankhead read the muster roll at the head of the regiment—that all the men heard it, signed it, and made no objection—that the matter was ‘now in the discretion of Colonel Bankhead, the senior officer of Col.

Having failed, however, to attend, as he should have done yesterday, ry warrant was issued last evening for the re-arrest of , who was brought into court this morning to show “cause why he should not be sent back to the Penitentiary to serve out the remainder of the term for which he was sent thither. This proceeding drew ferth along argument from A.D. Russell, Esq. for the defendant, who contended that the whole proceed- ings of the prosecution had been illegal throughout. He was replied to by the District Attoruey, on the ofthe people with great ability.

The court, after a brief consultation, remanded French to prison to await the decision of the Supreme Court in the matter. John McCully and Thomas Boyd, who had also re- moved their quarters from the island to the city under si- milar circumstances to those stated in the case of French were likewise brought into court. McCully was re ed to prison to await the action of the Supreme Court. Boyd concluded to return to his old quarters in the peni- tentiary and serve out the remainder of the term for which he was sent up. ‘The court then adjourned until to-morrow, morning, there being only eleven petit jurors present.
