From Nauvoo.—We learn from the officers of the steamer Ohio, which left Nauvoo on the 23d of June, that all was quiet there, and martial law had been suspended or was not in force. She lay there only a minute or two.

At Warsaw they learned that the Governor, the day previous, (Saturday,) had issued a requisition for Joe and the principals of those engaged in the destruction of the "Expositor" press, to appear before the civil authorities at a certain hour on Sunday, to answer to the charges. Joe promised to obey, but when the hour arrived, he did not make his appearance, and word was soon brought that his Holiness and the City Council had left for parts unknown; it was ascertained that the ferry-boat had run over to Montrose several times during the night, and it was supposed that they had passed over to take up their abode in Iowa Territory. A number of stands of arms were found in a grocery in Montrose the following morning, which had been carried over during the night. The Governor had ordered out ten thousand men.—St. Louis Republican.
