an ambush, IOilOWeu tncm rs lar as he
deemed prudent, and then ordered his
men to fall back upon the main party
Although it was nearly dark, the whole
detachment had been ordered TO re-
mount, and were met upon the route by
the men who were returning. The pur-
suit was conducted without any regard
to discipline, and had continued for sew
eral miles, the Indians receded as the
troops advanced, until they had decoyed
them across Sycamore creek as it is cal
led in the proclamation. This they did
in disorder, and each man successfully
reached it. Being thus decoyed into the
midst of the main body of the Indians,
and without being allowed to form, hos
tilities were commenced. The indians
showing themselves on every quarter,
mounted and armed. They commenced
the attack with their guns, and after fir
ing them resorted to the use of toma-
hawks and knives. As soon MS their
desperate situation was known, Major
Stlman ordered retreat across the
creek, after an Intellectual fire at the en-
emy. The savages followed close upon
them. No time was allowed for them
to form on the opposite bank of the
creek. A company under the command
OF Captain Adams, of Tazewell county
who were in the rear, endeavored to
make stand against them and fought
with desperation. About half of the
missing are thought to have belonged to
this company. The battle was fought
by moonlight in an open prairie, and
the pursuit was kept up for ten or twelve
miles. The survivors began to arrive at
Dixon's Ferry about one o'clock in the
morning and after sufficient time
elapsed, the next day, for them all to
have come ia, the roll was called and
fity-two were found TO be missing. A
few of those who escaped were wounded
and many had their hats and clothes
perforated with bullet holes. Some of
the savages were killed, but the number
could not be ascertained. Various .esti-
mates are given of the strength of the In-
dians: the number is probably between
IL and l5 warriors. BY this victory
they obtained possession Of the horses
OF the slam, and of the camp equipage,
blankets, ammunition, and provisions of
the routed militia and are, moreover,
encouraged to further hostilities by the
.propitious omen of first victory.
LATER.-We have counter and less
disastrous reports by a short steamboat
passage from Galena. 1t was reported
there, by persons who were in the en-
gagemenl. that % or q men, only, were
killed. In the other particulars, the a
boye details are nearly correct. Busi-
ness was entirely suspended at Galena,
and the families in the surrounding
country were moving in for protection.
As proof of the rapidity with which the
Indians traverse the country, it is stated,
that runner from Black Hawk and his
allies, bearing to the Missouri Indians
news OF ~. dofout Of tire rnalitia, arrived
at the Des Moines Rapids twenty-four
hours before the express sent by Gov.
Reynolds.

MONTGOMERY, May l6, 1882.
Dear Sir-I observe under your edito-
rial head notice Of the loss of the sloop
Ajax, near the Mobile Might House. /
passed through Quincy, Florida, on
Friday last, when ! was informed by one
or two respectable gentlemen, that two
sailors had landed few days previously
at Appalachicola bay, IN yawl boat, and
that their conduct and appearance were
so suspicious as 10 excite the belief that
they had committed n depreciation on
some vessel: they were accordingly ar
rested; but no satisfactory evidence be-
ing adduced they were discharged. IfI
recolect right, they were discovered pri-
or to their arrest, to have In their pos
session seven or eight hundred dollars
in specie--nftef their discharge, they
were seen to obtain from some hiding
place n large additional sum in specie,
also large roll of U. S. paper; likewise
one or more gold watches, very splcn-
did cane, &c. am aware Of the pre-
cariousness of the communication from
Appalachicola Bay to your city, / there
fore write this from due probability that
il will anticipate any information from
that place, and that it will perhaps be
the means of inducing those interested
TO make more prompt enquiry. The
sailors after they were discharged took
their passage on board steam boat for
Columbus.
] am, dear SIR, your obt. servant,
II AT HANYIU VNON
The account embraced in the letter
from Montgomery are supposed to have
connection with the loss of the soop
Ajax. The men there mentioned are
suspected to be part Of the crew ofthat
vessel, who arc believed to have murder
ed the Captain, and one passenger, to
get possession of several thousand dol
lars, which were on board and subse-
quently 20 have abandoned her. The
accounts Of the gentleman who writes
US from Montgomery, have been con-
frmed by others recently from Appala-
chIcola. A circumstance, among others
justifying these suspicious, is, that of
these men being seen in Appalachicola,
in possession of rolls of u. S. Bank bills,
and that gentleman having large
sum of such money in his possession at
Rio Brassos, was waiting at that place,
just before the sailing of the Ajax, to
take passage in her for Mobile.
Emigranfs.--On Sunday last. fourteen
hundred and forty-six emigrants arrived
in this city from Europe, and yesterday,
four hundred and twenty-eight. The
number which arrived at Quebec on the
10Th, 9th, and 2sth of May was two
thousand, four hundred and eighty-eight.

A new paper has been established in
Germany entitled The Liberal, to be de-
voted to constitutional discussions, and
the doctrines of Civil and Religious lib
erty. 1t is edited by Professors Van
Rotteck and Weicker, two of the mos,
distinguished men in the University of
Frieburg, Baden. This is an era which
will be memorable in German History.
Gen. Remarino, so much distinguish
cd in the late Polish struggle, is engaged
in writing his Recollections of the Cam
paign. 1t will form an interesting adj
dition to the account given by TVysocki
of the origin and circumstances Of the
Revolution.
The rapid increase of periodical liter
ature in India, may be estimated by a
comparison of the number of such pub
lications in the several years 1914, 1920,
and 1880. In 1914, the number of Eu-
ropean periodicals., in the three Presi-
denotes Of Bengal, Fort William, and
Bombay, was ten-and no native publ
cations. In 1920, the European period
icals amounted to IL, and there were
two native publications. In 1890, the
European publications had increased to
50, and the native to IL.
The number of new books published
in London during the last year, exclu-
siye of new editions, pamphlets and pe-
riodieals, was about 100.
The author of "Granby" is about pub
fishing new novel to be entitled ''Ar-

a few years since, an elderly clergy
man in the western pari of this country
Speaking of the solemnity attached to
the ministerial Office, said that during
the whole term of 40 or so years, that he
had ofticiated therein, his gravity had
never but once been disturbed in his pull
PIT. On that occasion, while engaged
IN his discourse, he noticed man direct
ly IN front of him, leaning over the rail-
ing of the gallery, with something in his
hand, which he soon discovered to he n
large quid of tobacco, just taken from
his mouth. Directly below sat man
who was in the constant habit of sleep
ing at meeting, with his head leaned
back, and his mouth wide open. The
man in the gallery was intently engaged,
raising and lowering his hand, and taxi
ing an exact observation, till, at length
having got it right, he let fall the quid of
tobacco, and it fel plump into the mouth
of the sleeper below The whole scene
was SO indiscribably ludicrous, that for
the first and last time in the pulpit, an
involuntary smile forced itselfupon the
countenance of the preacher. The un-
expected intrusion of so unpalatable n
mouthful awoke the sleeper, and he was
never known to indulge in that practice

Consequences Of Crimc.--The following
unhappy instance Of the lamentable conse-
quences attending the commission Of fraud,
is stated in the New York Evening Journal
Of Saturday last.
Police O6ice.--Ienry Hill, a young man
apparently about thirty years Of age, who
was in the employ of Baker. Johnson s. Co.
Merchant Talors of this city, was appre.
honded few days since, upon Q. charge OF
Of embezzlng clothing from their establish.
ment. Upon his arrest he made full con.
fsssion OF the fact, and admitted that he had
been long in the practice of carrying away a
pieces or two Of clothing at time, until the
extent CT his depredations amounted to pro.
baby two thousand dollars.--The property
was generally sold and pledged to pawn,
brokers and second hand dealers in this city,
from whom about three hundred dollars
worth has since been received and restored
to the owners. Hill, when brought to the
Police Office, was so exceedingly affected,
as to entreat the magistrates to grant him an
indulgence Of an hour to compose himself
previous to his examination. This was gran.
ted, but at the expiration ofthat time he was
still laboring under the effects which were
produced npon his mind, from contemplating
with appalling hosror, the disgraceful con.
sequences which were to follow his detec-
ton--large drops Of sweat rolled from his
forehead, and notwithsta nding the soothing
and sympathizing language Of those about
his person, the blood gushed from his nostrils.
His emotions were not exhibited by any
violence Of manner, or tears, but appeared to
be the inward workings Of the mind. The
magistrates bumanely delayed his cxamina.
tion for the purpose Of affording him time to
become composed and collected, md for that
purpose committed him temporarily to the
custody Of the City Prison. Here no re.
manned from Wednesday afternoon until
Thursday. his mental agonies overcoming
his physical strength, he expired He at no
time exhibited the least alteration of mind,
but fell victim to his own folly and sensi
bility. Let his case be an admonition.
