The steamer Ocean Wave the last boat down
from Keokuk, brings no further news from the Nor.

but nothing of a serious nature had been enacted

will be done until the antics cannon balls arrive.
MoRMoNs.--We noticed yesterday on board the
steamers Ocean Wave and Potosi, which arrived
from keokuk, between twelve and fifteen families
of Mormons--wome and chdren---who have been
compelled to leave their homes in Nauvoo, from the
length to which hostes have been carried in that
vicinity. Many of them resided in portion OF the
town now occupied by the antics, and to preserve


their lives they have had flee with but lille OF
their household goods, and several with nothing


more than few articles of wearing apparel. Those
| on the Ocean Wave were entirely destitute oi
ing some friends who will relieve their necessities


That their danger was imminent, there can be no


mistake for we saw several articles Of furniture in
their possession which had been pierced by balls
while in their houses at Nauvoo. The roof of a
house, occupied by one of he families, was shct
| away by cannon ball. and several others had to


leave their homes amidst the rum and danger which
threatened them, from the firing Of the contcnding
parties. The heads of the families which have ar
rived here, are still IN Nauvoo, and in the ranks o
the force assembled TO protect the city. The wives
and children are sad specimens of detection, and
bear upon their care-worn faces all the marks of a
bgoted and prosecuted people. That such stat
of things should exist IN a republican and civilized
community, is stigma upon the whole country
aad disgrace to the particular State in which such
outawry is suffered and we may say sanctioned by
her executive officers
