From the Mormon COuntry.-There is no con- 6rmation of the story of a fight having taken place, in which eighteen or twenty Anti Mormons were killed. No such event occurred. corres- pondent of the St. Louis Revelle states that the Mormons were hauling grain, and driving cattle into Nauvoo, expecting siege. He says:

 When the Mormons find themselves surround ed, they will retreat to the Temple, and then, if they are routed, it will only be by the hardest fighting that the country has seen for many years The Temple commands the country for miles around. The saints have 24 pieces of artillery, Q2 pounders,) plenty of ammunition, and now laying in stock of provisions, by plunderIng the old settlers, which will keep famine off for months. If siege is commenced, what i'll be the consequence, it is impossible to foretell. The whole country will rise e'I nsdsse but can Nau- 700 be subdued by force, commanding as the Tem- pie does, so wide range of country, and armed, as the Mormons are, with 2l pieces of heavy ar tillery and 1000 stand of revolving rifles, besides common arms to any amount }"

 A meeting has been held in Quincy, at which some of the Anti-Mormons made violent and in- hammatory speeches. A committee of one Mou- sand persons appointed to visit Hancock county, to bring the Mormons to terms The Quincy editor winds up his account of the meet ing as follows:

 (" Public sentiment is decidedly against Me .tlOTHlOnS-THEY .tl MUST GO-QfN BQcfe2lSfOSJe JeeL Me full force of Me la,o for killing Wo,reH !- Our best lawyers pronounce It an act of murder for which the Sheriff had not the shadow of law"

 rTOm Lne oeaI 0y pVar.-Dy me Boreas, we learn that Gen. Hardin, with 600 of the troops called out by Gov. Ford, had arrived in Hancock County. with orders to quell the rots and, if deemed necessary, enter Nauvoo to search for those of the Mormons who have also been guilty of az gression. Sheriff Blackentsos, deeming the pro- clamation forgery. had issued manifesto. .decar- ing all persons entering Hancock County n arms, to be violators of the law. and abetors of the mob fight, it is supposed, took place on Saturday night, as 40 men had left Warsaw for the purpose of intercepting party of Mormons, who were returning to Nauvoo from foraging excursion.

 From the Scene of tue Mormon Riot.-Infor- nation has been received ny the Laclede, at St. Louis, on the 5h instant. that Gen. Hardin. with two hundred men, marched on Carthage, and took the town. The Mormons on the approach of the beseigng force. took refuge in the Court House, which they fortified and prepared to defend. Gen. H. at once surrounded theIr citadel, and ordered them to surrender. giving them fifteen minutes to deliberate. At the end of that time they had laid down their arms. and were prisoners of war This accomplished, they were permitted to depart on their patrol 0f honor !-BoH Sun.
