GREAT COMMOTION IN NAUVOO.—Under this head the Warsaw Signal, of the 12th, publishes what follows:
Just as our paper was going to press, we received intelligence from Nauvoo, that the Lord has accept-ed the Temple, and that the long promised endow-ment, for which the Saints have been so long prepar-ing, is now being received.
This endowment consists in an abrogation of all existing marriages, and every good Saint is at liberty to cast away his present wife, and take any other who may suit him better. The consequence is, all Nauvoo is in commotion, and the Saints are running about, perfectly wild with excitement.
The reason why the Lord concluded to endow his saints in this singular manner, was because some hus-bands were willing to go to Oregon, and their wives objected, and v ee versa; so, they being mismatched, the Lord concluded to prevent difficulty, by giving ail willing ones a chance to select new partners for the expedition.
The Jacksonville Journal says the Governor of Illinois has refused to permit the State Militia to ex-ecute the warrants against the Twelve Elders, for counterfeiting U.S. coin, until demanded by the President of the United States.
O.P. Rockwell, who was charged with an attempt to murder an Ex-Governor of Missouri, obtained the lawful wife of Amos Davis, in the late exchange of partners. Rockwell went to the residence of Davis and stood at the door, with pistol in hand, while his new partner entered the house and took from it such furniture as she desired. This was in the open day light and in the face of the whole city.
