INDIAN INCURSIONS.

We have received letter, from respectable
and intelligent gentleman, dated Lafayette, lip
pecanoe county, Indiana, May Is. 1882.
The writer states that letter had just been
received there from w. Newell, Esq. who resides
on the Grand Prairie, in Illinois, urgently call.
ing for aid to repel the Incurs0ns OF the Indians
Mr.. Newell is represented to have stated that
the Indians, in strong force. were advancing INTO
the settlements, on Grand Prairie, carrying desc.
lation before them. On the esd of May. they
were on Hickory Greek, in Illinois, about seven.
ty miles from Lafayette. On Monday, the 2lst,
about three hundred persons collected on the
frontier of Indiana, that had fled from their habl-
tatons on the Grand Prairie, and abandoned
their homes.
Lafayette ia situated on the Wabash. directly
east of the Grand Prairie, about forty-hve miles
distant from the Inc, and near the battle ground
of Tippecanoe The hostile Indians are the
Sioux and Foxes, aho inhabit the northern part
of Illinois, on the Rock River and the Fox Ri
yer, one of the head waters of the Illinois River.
The Grand Prairie is chiefly in Illinois, and is OF
great extent, ata covered with considerable
population, many of whom are from OHIO and
Kentucky Between the Grand Prairie and the
Mississippi, there is dense population, in the
Sangamo Country. and IN the counties North and
North " est of it, ard at Galena.
On Wednesday, May esd. about 500 volun-
teers, all mounted, left Danvile, Illinois. for the
scene Of War. On Thursday a company of tit
t, left Coyington, Fountain County, Indiana. for
the same purpose. From fifty to an hundred vo-
unteers left Warren County, Indiana, on the
same day 1t was expected that about two hun
dred men.would leave Lafayette on Sunday the
eth of MY. The whole country was in great
agitation: but we learn that the Indians did not
murder and scalp, as heretofore, but only laid
waste the country.

Supposed Murder.-We learn from the Mo.
bile Patriot, that two sailors were arrested at
Apalachicola. under suspicious circumstances,
but no satisfactory evidence being adduced. they
were discharged. They were discovered on
their arrest, to have in their possession z or
$500 in specie-after their discharge. they were
seen to obtain from some hiding place large
additional sum in specie, also. large roll OF
United States paper; likewise one or more gold
watches, a very splendid cane, Sc. These men
are supposed to be part Of the crew Of the sloop
Ajax, recently sunk off the coast, who are be-
lieved to have murdered the captain and one pas
senger, got possession of several thousand dol
lars, which were on board, and subsequently, to
have abandoned her. A circumstance, among
others ustifying these suspicious, is that Of these
men being seen in ApaIae nicola. in possession Of
rolls of United States Bank Bills; and that gen.
tleman having large sum OF such money 10 pos
session at Rio Brassos, was waiting at that place,
Just before the sailing Of the Ajax, to take pas

Darn or GIN. SuMtER.-A few hours after
the Journal went to press, we received intelll'
gence of the death OF this venerable relic OF re-
yoiutionary glory--at once the patriot and Patrl-
arch of his country's history. He died at his
residence at South Mount, yesterday, at 10 o.
clock, NJ, full Of years and full of honors. The
ndispostion which closed the days of SUMTER
was sudden and unlocked for. We have no tiaIe
to say more, and hardly have the time even to
record the melancholy fact. Full justice will be
done hereafter to the character Of the gallant SOL
der, and the unspotted patriot.
Changes in the Tnnes.-Formerly, sailors
wore check shirts and gentleman wore white; now
the tables are turned.
Formerly, servants drove their masters, now
Cufy is gentleman driven By his master.
Formerly. ladies paid afternoon visits to their
friends early enough to return before sunset; now
ladies' 90 out to take tea, about the time their
erandma's had retired to rest, and had had their
first nap.
! Formerly, dress was worn as protection
against the weather; now as matter ol orna'
ment.
Formerly, pool cards were considered no dis
grace to.an industrious housekeeper; now they
are superseded by playing cords and r'samg
cards.
Formerly, public Offices were considered pup
lie trusts to be executed for the pubic be'eh;
now they are regarded the spoils OF victory to
be distributed amongst the conquerors-
Formerly, speeches measured by the hour, died
with the hour; now a gard stick is the touch
stone of the merit of most public speeches. :.
Formerly, it was considered but little short OF
treason, to speak of the dissolution Of the Union;
now it is spoken of, with as Little concern, as the
dissolution Of commercial co-partnershlp.
