several weeks past, had been lying danger
ousIy i'll at his residence in this county, we
were yesterday gratfied to perceive has SO

feeble health. Judge F. had designed Wis

completed all his arrangements with that
object in view, aud was upon the point Of
starting, when he was suddenly arrested by
severe fit of sickness-the first with

his contemplated visit to 'the other side Of
the land" we have not learned.

From the Washington Union Of the 22d and 2sd
we extract the following official intelligence:
CRAZE VINE CUTT1Nss.-Believing that the inter
ests Of country require that cuttings Of all the
native wild grapes indigenous to our soil should be
collected, with view Of testing their adaptation to
the economy, soil and climate of the different sections
of the Union the Commissioner Of Patents had made
arrangements for their collection with Major H. G.
Williams Major Williams has been instructed to en-
ter upon his duties on the lst day Of August. He
will proceed to Arkansas and Texas, and, in making
selections of cuttings will be particular in noting the
character of the soil and the aspect in which such
cuttings are found, their local names and the period
at which their fruit is matured. Major Williams has
also been instructed to collect the seeds stones of
any other native wild fruits which he may meet with
| in the performance of his duty.
NAVAL OFFICERS DEAD-The Secretary Of the
Navy Department received intelligence yesterday of
the death Of Lieutenants George NJ Totten and John
P. Decatur, United States Navy. The remansof the
former reached the residence of his father, General
Totten, United States Army in this city. yesterday
morning. The latter died at the New York Naval
Hospital. a.r4 a
THE MINNESOTA 1NDIANs-We learn that orders
have been issued for the troops at Forts McHenry and
Macknaw to proceed to Minnesota TO join the troops
of Forts Ridgely and Smelling, in view Of appre-
hended disturbances among the Indians in Minnesota
| The Government will not authorize Gov. Medary to
muster volunteers for the service there being ne
| cessity for such proceeding.
| twill be recolected that annuities were directed to
be withheld from certain Indians unless they deliver
to the Governments officers certain murderers con-
nected with Inkpah-du-tah's band. These Indians
while complaining of the withholding of their annui
ties say they are afraid unasssted to go in search oil
the murderers. The troops will assist them in this
business, we presume, and at the time protect
those who are disposed to be friendly to the United
States
The Interior Department ha. already taken prompt
measures to ascertain the actual condition of the In
dans Of Minnesota Territory. Mr.. K Pritchette, Of
the Interior Department left this city yesterday after
