advanced yesterday from their encamp-
ment beyond Fishing River to Rush Creek,
where their tents are again pitched. But
feeling disposed to adopt every pacific
measure that can be done without
jeopardizing our lives, to quiet the pre-
judices and fears of some part of the
citizens of this county, we have conclu-
ded that our company shall be imme-
diately dispersed, and continue so till
every effort for an adjustment of dif-
ferences between us and the people of
Jackson has been made on our part,
that would in any wise be required
of us by disinterested men of republican
principles.

I am respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Joseph Smith Jr.

N. B.—You are now corresponding with
the govenor, (as I am informed;) will
you do us the favor to acquaint him
of our efforts for a compromise. This in-
formation we want conveyed to the gove-
nor, inasmuch as his ears are stifled
with reports from Jackson, of our hostile
intentions, &c
